Thunderbird: 128.5.1esr (64-bit)

Using the provided interface I am unable to find any of my email, or get “chat” to go away.

I am quite frustrated. What can I do?

I've installed Thunderbird on my Pixel 9 Pro. I used my Linux Fedora Thunderbird to generate a QR code to get my Android Thunderbird established. Android Thunderbird is working ok but my contacts from the Linux Thunderbird did not come over and writing emails from there is difficult without my contacts. How do I port over the Linux Fedora Thunderbird contacts to my Android Thunderbird?

I opened Thunderbird and all my emails and email accounts are gone. It wants me to set up all over again. There is nothing there but a screen that says set up your email account with user name and password.

I've been using POP email with Comcast for years, and haven't changed anything. But I noticed a new version of Thunderbird was loaded two days ago - might be the problem?

Can someone connect to my Win 11 PC to figure out why incoming mail is so constipated, please?

In to base folder Local folders there is revealed itself a undelateble folder. I can't get rid of it. Could you please explaine what is means? How it possible fix the problem? Thank you in advance

Good morning, I had asked a question early on Saturday, but was unavailable the rest of the weekend so just now responding to associate Corey Bryan's answer. I had gotten a message that I am using an unsupported version and they recommend downloading the latest stable version. He said it appears that I'm on the "Release" channel and most likely want to be on the ESR channel. I also mentioned that I am a cave-man when it comes to anything computer and am very skittish about making any changes as I don't how to straighten out any errors that might occur. He asked me where I installed Thunderbird from and the answer is that I don't know. It was an IT guy that did it many years ago. So I guess my questions are, if I've been using this version for years, do I need to or should I update it? If so, if I click on the latest stable version of Thunderbird, will that change anything on my computer, aside from getting the newer version of T-Bird? And will my e-mails in Thunderbird look any different? Thanks very much for the help. Tony

I'm using Thunderbird version: 128.5.1esr, Build ID: 20241202160748, under Linux Mint 22. My mail host is Pair Networks, and I collect my e-mail via POP3.

The problem I'm seeing is that most of the attempts which Thunderbird should be making to collect mail are apparently not happening. I'm using the activity manager in Thunderbird to tell me when connection attempts occur.

Firstly, the 'get messages' option, whether via the speed button OR the menus OR the hotkey combination, has no apparent effect.

Secondly, the setting to check for new messages at startup was apparently disregarded.

Thirdly, I decreased the interval for checking for new e-mails down to one minute. Again, the activity manager page remained blank. The check was either not happening, or wasn't being recorded.

What DID happen is Thunderbird appeared to be doing a timed check for new e-mails every 4-5 minutes. So, I called the tech support at my mailhost and asked them to check their logs. They confirmed that they were only seeing attempts to connect every four or five minutes. I called the tech support at my ISP. I'm a lot less confident in them than I am in the tech support at my mailhost, but they insisted that they didn't do anything with my connection which could interfere with attempts to collect mail.

Now, I don't really care about getting my e-mail every minute, BUT that 'get messages' option taking up to five minutes to take effect is a real nuisance in these days of two-factor authentication. I'm at a loss to think of anything else - I really can't believe that a version of Thunderbird has got out where all the above flaws are present.

MY first question is whether anybody else is seeing anything like this? Of course, if anybody has any suggestions for a fix to the problem, I'd be grateful to hear that as well. I would have posted the troubleshooting information generated by Thunderbird, but there's 84KB of the stuff, so I'm hesitant to do so.

Thanks for any info.

The column width and spacings in my Thunderbird keep changing. When I restore them they seem to affect other folders. I need to be able to preserve different column spacings in different folders. Also when I try to move columns they drag other columns along, so realigning is a tedious process, not simple.

My Thunderbird had an automatic upgrade this week to 128.5.1esr 32Bit. Since then, I have not been able to pull down email for any of my accounts. When attempting to pull email from remote servers, the Thunderbird status message is "Checking server capabilities ....". This has gone for hours with no change, or the attempt just stops with no status update and no emails. This occurs regardless of VPN usage. What happened and how do I fix this ?!?!?

I recently received an update on my Iphone 14. I have files set up to see on my phone that mirror my desk top. When I drop an email into a file I can see it on my desktop but it does not appear on my Iphone. Please help me figure this out as I do a lot of business on my phone and must be able to access these out of office.

Thank you
