When I start Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (32-bit) on my Windows 10 Home PC Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045, it has become increasingly slower recently. I have been using it for many years now and up until this year it would typically start in ~30 seconds.

I am accessing three separate POP email accounts and each of them has a number of subfolders with important stored messages. I thought that perhaps I had just too many folders and messages, so I removed hundreds of the stored messages and some of the sub folders. I routinely compact all accounts.

Today, it took over 8 minutes for Thunderbird to open. Incidentally, once it opens initially it seems to perform normally thereafter.

Is there something that I can do to speed things up?

Thanks in advance, Rich Green

Thunderbird won't remember where it was last time (windows 10 and 11). Every time I open it, it has shifted and resized a bit from the last time. It's not one monitor to another or even the other side of one screen, but it's always slightly higher or lower, slightly smaller or larger... It's just driving me nuts because everything else is perfectly positioned. Note that I am using fancy zones to do this placement, but everything else works fine.

I have lost the subfolders on one of my Thunderbird accounts. This is a POP account. I have another IMAP account which is fine. The main account still shows in the list but no subfolders. The data file still shows in the Profile/Mail folder but I am not able to select this file in the Copies and folders in settings for this account. The only option I get is for the other IMAP account. Could someone please steer me in the right direction.

Thanks

I thought there might be a problem with Thunderbird 133.0, so I attempted to install version 130 over it. I was told it was incompatible with version 133.0, so I uninstalled version 133.0 and installed version 130.

Since then, Lightning Calendar has been missing, even when I reinstalled version 133.0. The Events and Tasks tab is missing. Calendar does not appear in Add-ons and Themes. There is no trace of it anywhere. I uninstalled Tbird, deleted all of the folders for it and reinstalled Tbird, again. No luck.

I just switched from Blue Mail to Thunderbird on Android.

First s big thanks for finally making Thunderbird on desktop touch friendly, this was long overdue.

Now to my feature request for thunderbird Android. Please allow (or just enable my default) that the controls to search in mails/delete mails etc are moved to the bottom of the screen so you can easily reach them on as mobile phone (just like blue Mail does it).

Second smaller request: please make the email list less "crowded" somehow the fonts and density are hard to read. Again have a look at blue Mail for how to do this a bit better. Could also be an option.

Hi . My email messages are failing to down load . I am getting a message stating that the Thunderbird Certificate for pop3 has expired . Is there a solution for this ?

I have been using TB for years but I can no longer figure out how to use the current version. Is there an Idiots Guide for TB?

My screen has been zoomed so I only see half of the email or image. Support at yahoo said that this is a Firefox issue. I would like to"unzoom" so I can see the full screen ar one time.

Dear Jim,

I needed to go to sleep at 3am last night to rise for a 12 noon Christmas day dinner. So I am back now.

I have not been able to drag a picture into the text of an email message.

I mark the point of insert with the cursor, go to Insert menu, select the attach picture, and it ends up at the top of the email outside my message. When I try to drag the picture into the text area, a mat covers the text area instructing to insert it here. When I release it on the hotspot, the matted area goes blank and I receive a menu message "The following files couldn't be attached: "filename.jpg". Please try again later."

I seem to be doing everything correctly. I was able to do this some time in the past.

I am wondering if the problem has to do with a memory cache problem. Do I have too many 2000 blocked emails. Maybe a security problem not allowing the attachment?
