Why isn't xxx@xxx.ORG considered a legitimate email address in Thunderbird?

Been getting a bunch of this, usually in my TB TRASH folder, I think from the Outlook online server.
The server couldn't retrieve the following message:
Subject: "Stephen Tanner"
From: "Not available" ("Not available")
Sent date: 10/31/2024 2:25:02 PM
The message hasn't been deleted. You might be able to view it using either Outlook or Outlook Web App. You can also contact the sender to find out what the message says.
What does this mean? Outlook or Thunderbird? What do I need to do?

Since today (Version 146.0 Windows11 64bit) all subfolders, which are configured to send emails from (e.g. name+test@example.com for folder test) are renamend to the german word "Gesendet" for Sent. You can see that in the second screenshot. In the first screenshot you can see the name "Gesendet" which is locked against changes and the normal name of the folder is support in this case. I don't know, what has changed to yesterday. And as I'm using this feature intensivly, the "Gesendet" over all folders is quite annoying.

After a major windows upgrade crash on a brand new laptop turned in into a brick, Thunderbird was installed at the time and all of my email accounts were working fine. I contacted PCs support team and they agreed to replace it with a new one. All Windows and other relevant updates were done before anything else. Then I started the process of installing the program's that I wanted to use. When I came Thunderbird it installed okay, I added 2 of my email accounts and they work fine. Then I tried to add my Gmail account got through adding server settings then I am asked log in to my Google account where upon I am met with a pop up window with a broken robot an error code 400 and message This should not be repeated, Am I doing something wrong or is there a glitch with Thunderbird. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Brian

your layout is fine when I first open the program but when an email is selected to be read, the left email folder list disappears and is very difficult to get back up. there must be an easy setup fix to this or else I am about to uninstall Thunderbird! And your service stinks like all the rest of BIG tech these days. Truth is you have now Customer Service.

I believe that version 145.0, newly installed on the 9th December, 2025 was showing server folders correctly; the server folder name matched the client folder name.
After upgrading to 146.0 on the 10th December, the server folder names for some folders are displaying with different client folder names.
The IMAP account has both "spam" and "junk" folders, Thunderbird is now displaying both as "Spam", you can only determine which folder is which by showing folder properties. It appears to users that there are two "Spam" folders now and not the two distinct folders with their own names.
Similar behaviour is happening for "Sent" and "Sent Messages" folders, both now display as "Sent".
These changes are confusing, the client sees two "Spam" folders and two "Sent" folders instead of the original proper server folder names.
Why has the display name for these folders changed?
How can I get TB to display the real underlying folder names?

I have a Signature setup and it works great on NEW Emails, however, if I click on reply to an email the signature is not there. I have the checkbox checked for "Include signature for replies" but it doesn't seem to work. I've tried unchecking it, restarting the app, re-checking it and restarting again, still doesn't work.

TOPIC 1 In Betterbird there is the option to colour the email account. The only option in TB is to change the colour of the email envelope icon. There used to be a extension that achieved this but fell by the wayside in TB 115 I researched this on TB forum on reddit.... https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/17unvb1/different_account_colors_in_thunderbird_115/
It made interesting reading and I did download the 'account colours' zip to install and see if it worked. Only thing is that I do not know how to install it........can someone brighter than me tell me how to install it and to remove it if it doesn't work. Many thanks.

Any user views on Betterbird over TB. The developer has done a great job and has one thing I do like and that is the ability to colour the highlighted email account rather than just the envelope icon. Experiences are appreciated so I can make the informed decision on which to use. Should I decide to use it how does one just port TB and its settings over to Betterbird.?
Thanks for views.

How do I find this message ? When I look at sent items in my mail , I have sent nothing and I am not aware of sending anything.

Hello. We changed from the ESR channel to the regular release channel today by installing Thunderbird v146.0 (regular release version) over the top of our existing installation (which was the ESR version). The installation went fine and everything appears to be working perfectly. My only question is why the name of the profile didn't change. It still has a name of 'xxxxxxxx.default-esr'. I would have thought that the name would be changed to 'xxxxxxxx.default-release'. Is this something we should change, or should it be left alone. Thank you very much for your assistance.
