I would be grateful for some information on container behavior, i.e. I created "permanent" (as opposed to temporary) containers for sites where I want that site's cookies & site data preserved in a container, so I can click "Clear Cookies/History" (or "Clear... when Firefox closes) and the items stored in PERMANENT containers are left alone, while all else is deleted. "Clear ...." doesn't appear to be respecting the permanent containers I have set up precisely to preserve these sites' cookies & data.

I'm not sure what the point of Permanent Containers is, if not to preserve those sites' data, for the sites' later use when you set Firefox to Clear Cookies and Site Data whenever Firefox Closes (or Clear Cookies & Site Data with one click). I expected it to respect data in Permanent containers, as exceptions. Else why not just use separate Temporary Containers for everything? Why bother with Permanent Containers if everything is going to be deleted when Firefox closes, whether it's marked "Permanent" or not? Is there a solution for this? Thanks, -AnneF

I have set my account to "Don't delete any messages", because I frequently want to reread a deleted message in my Trash folder. However, when I go into my Trash folder to search for a deleted message, I am finding that messages older than a certain date have disappeared, although I've done nothing to permanently delete them. For example, today everything older than May 3 is gone. What can I do to prevent this?

thanks, CW

I have a laptop with windows 10 & Thunderbird 128.9.1 and a Samsung S10 using the Samsung email. Both are configured with IMAP. When I open the Samsung email to view and download emails, I can then get home and open my laptop with Thunderbird where it will also download.

If I were to log onto the Gmail through a web browser the email will show in the "all mail" label and no longer be in the inbox, unless I do the phone first and it stays in the inbox until downloaded on the laptop.

so I can't get it on the phone if the laptop is used first. Any ideas ? because logging on to Gmail through the web browser to forward it myself is a pain thanks in advance Mick

오늘 업데이트가 되었다며 이미지를 변경하라고 해서 아무 이미지를 넣었다가 되돌릴 방법이 없어서 1시간을 낭비했습니다.

절대로 테마아닙니다. 새 탭 페이지입니다. 어떠한 부가기능도 사용하지 않았습니다. 이러한 문제가 아닌지 검토하라는 답변을 줄 경우 무조건 최악의 평가를 내릴겁니다.

This keeps happening - not an isolated incident.

The option to open a dialog box to upload a file becomes non-existent. Concurrently, I'm unable to download and save files.

This is resolved when Mozilla releases an update and I can update my browser. Then eventually something happens and the features stop working. It's like a download fails and then blocks further ones. However, there isn't something obviously stuck in my downloads history.

I can't seem to close my browsers and reopen it to fix, have to wait for an update but this always resolves it. This has happened at least a dozen times now. It is NOT my operating system.

This is wildly frustrating.

We’re having a weird issue with Thunderbird that’s showing up on multiple computers using the same mailbox. When we search using the top search bar (Ctrl+K), it often doesn't find all emails that clearly match the search term For example, we have multiple sent emails with the searched phrase in the subject, but Ctrl+K only finds one of them, even though there are two (or more) that match. When we use Ctrl+Shift+F (advanced search) with the exact same keyword and folder, all the matching emails show up just fine.

So it's not like the emails are missing —they're just not being picked up by the Ctrl+K search.

The annoying part is that Ctrl+K lets us open the whole conversation thread, which is really useful, while Ctrl+Shift+F only shows single messages.

Ive tried to:

- repair folders

- delete .msf files

- rebuild global database

- reenable "Include messages in this folder in Global Search results" but it did not help

And this isn’t just one machine, it's happening on every PC where this mailbox is used

(Sure I'llbe nice!! Specially if I can get an answer 😉) I'm sending out a newsletter and use Thunderbird. When I get to 80 recipients, it says I'm getting too many recipients to send. A friend said "all" I need to do is attach a label to my contacts, and then can put that label as recipient, and it will go to all my contacts marked with that label. (This is NOT the same as sorting messages in folders, as addressed in a previous question.)

Can you walk me through doing that in Thunderbird? Can I Do it, or do I need to switch to plain Gmail? Thanks. Anne
