My question is, whether or not the android Thunderbird will interact with the windows Thunderbird I have on my laptop. On my laptop, I have Thunderbird redirect emails into various folders. On my cellphone, I'm currently using Fairemail but it's not aware of those folders on my laptop which is a problem when doing a search on my cell for a specific email, if the email I'm looking for has migrated to those folders on the laptop. Thanks in advance, Phil

When I accessed TB it updated to an ESR (Eclipse) version and when I load it I get a message saying I've used an old version, would I like to create a new profile. ( I didn't) I've copied my backup to the profile but many folders are missing from the current profile.

How do I get all my folders to display? I've reinstalled TB version 147 without the ESR option.

i still can't believe there is no way to print emails in your mobile app. I even downloaded the beta, but it also gave me no way to print an email. What's my money going to? I've seen many people ask for this its such a basic operation. I'm hoping you will get this, or I will have to change to another program

I have found this article to Unify your POP email accounts with a global inbox

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unify-your-pop-email-accounts-global-inbox

Is it possible to do the same with IMAP email accounts??

Many thanks in advance

Bonjour, J'ai créé une nouvelle adresse gmail, qui fonctionne depuis le site de google. Quand je souhaite l'inscrire pour l'utiliser via Thunderbird (nouveau compte/adresse mail), tout se passe bien et j'obtiens le message "Configuration trouvée dans la base de données des FAI de Mozilla". Je clique ensuite sur Terminé et j'arrive à une fenêtre "se connecter avec Google" qui affiche ma nouvelle adresse mail. Quand je clique sur "suivant", j'obtiens le message "erreur 400 - le serveur ne peut pas traiter la requête, car son format est incorrect". Pouvez-vous m'aider ? Merci d'avance. Laurent Lapchin

Get this error message I think since the update on September 2nd. See below

Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox. Also, I downloads a few old emails from September 2. If I delete them, they re-download when I click on get mail. I do get mail on my phone and on the Xfinity web site. I really would like to get this fixed as soon as I can. Thanks, William Dudzinski - <redacted>@comcast.net - <redacted>

I get a message trying to access my account: Kunne ikke skrive mailen i mailmappen. Sørg for at du har skriverettigheder til filsystemet, og at du har nok diskplads til at kopiere mailmappen. This is in danish so I hope You understand. But how to solve this issue? I can not receive mails because of this. Best regards Poul Kristiansen

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have lost all stored folders with my email correspondence from the Local Folders for an unknown reason (I restarted my computer, and they disappeared). I can find some of these emails using the search option, but I cannot see the path of their storage location. I have checked my Profile/Mail/Local Folders, but they are not there. Are they stored on the server? How can I recover these folders?

Thank you very much in advance,

Jasmina

an year ago on 11/25/24, I have raised this same issue https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1475852#question-reply Another user https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/davidsk/ replied that it is a bug ! I still have the same problem !!

My hard disk is again almost full. And it is primarily Thunderbird bloated folders.

In the MAC hard-disk, size of the many of the folders stored in local directory, are much larger that the size on TB.

For reference, On TB, "_cc folder" is 2.0 GB On Mac Finder, "_cc folder" is 13.63 GB

I have right-click the folder and press "compact". The folder on TB reduces in size. But, the folder on the Mac harddrive does not reduce in size.

Thunderbird 115.4.1 (64-bit) on macOS 26.1 Server Type : POP Mail Server

Appreciate help to get this fixed.

Thanks Attached screenshots

I am using a Chromebook, Lenovo Duet 9, 11 inch screen. When composing an email, if I click on insert link to hyperlink a portion of my text, or choose the color of font from the toolbar, or insert an image or any other feature that requires a popup window, the popup window has to be dragged by clicking on it in order to see what is in the window. Depending on what I click the popup box has different sizes but all of them have to be clicked on and dragged out to see what is in the box. See screenshots attached. How do I fix this?

I'm using the latest Thunderbird on Fedora 43, fully updated. Suddenly, Thunderbird is telling me that I have messages in my inbox, even though none show. If I receive an email, read it an delete it, the number of phantom messages increases. Compacting the inbox (or all mail boxes) has no effect on this. Any suggestions?

What does the icon that shows (for a while) against the SUBJECT line of messages indicate?

After some time, or perhaps following my general activity within the application or some other trigger, it seems to disappear for reasons I have yet to understand.

I attach a screen clip showing four of these icons ("2025 - STILL TO REVIEW" is one of my user-created folder names.)

Secondly, is the answer to the above question available already in online help for Thunderbird? If so, and since I haven't found it yet, I would be grateful to be pointed towards the relevant article. As a new user, I expect it would tell me other things that will be useful for me to learn!

I am using version 146.0.1 (64-bit).

I'm trying to setup an existing account, Thunderbird Email Account on a new Laptop. After checking the server config and password I can't complete the setup as the configuration is not recognised. I have the old laptop open and everything matches up. Can you assist ?

We have two accounts. One has TWO sent folders. One says "Sent", one says and one says "Sent Items". We need to have one eliminated. One never shows ANY sent messages, one will show a sent email, but has "lost" most of the ones from earlier. This is more than annoying. We got a nice response earlier from one the community helpers, but it did not work at all. Anyone else care to give it a go. We have version 146.0.1 Again, many thanks

I am using 140.6.0esr (64-bit) and Windows 10. My Inbox disappeared. I was in it with no problems. Then I noticed two problems. I couldn't open new emails. It said connecting to server or loading content but email was blank. Also when I sent an email it could not copy to my sent folder due to network or file access errors. I could open and read all the other emails in my Inbox, just not three new ones. So I selected Inbox properties and repair. After the repair, my inbox is completely empty. It had thousands of messages. When I do a search for common emails I know were in my inbox, it only shows emails from subfolders. When I go to Inbox properties, it says number of messages: 0

Is there any chance I could talk with someone? Or that someone would call me? I'm not experienced in Thunderbird or email settings. And I don't like having to do it online. Richard Higgins Concord Mass
