Thunderbird has managed to keep all the message headers however the body of EVERY email is now empty. I had archives of email going back to the 80's and it's all gone. I tried to import backups again but TB throws away the body of the messages.

Note that there are many different email address formats in use from regular TCP/IP, XNS, UUCP, Mainframe 8.8, and others. The headers are there and show the addresses but the content is totally empty for every message.

Before TB gets a hold of them, I can read them so I know the data is there and it is TB that is removing it.

Please help

In the older K-9, when one changed the active account, the inbox for the newly selected account would just be shown immediately. No need for any other operations on my part.

Now I have to tap on the inbox to get there. This seems an awful nuisance and offers little to anyone, I suspect.

Is there some way to get the old K-9 behavior?

Thanks!

Hi there! I and my colleague encounter some bugs with Thunderbird and we would like to seek your advice in regards of the issue.

1. <user a@citizen-systems.com.hk> was supposed to get a cc copy of the email sent by <user b@citizen-systems.com.hk> at Mon, 12 Jan 2026 09:35:19 +0800 but it never reached. The receivers, namely <user c@systems.citizen.co.jp> and <user d@citizen-systems.com.hk>, however, were able to get the mail. <user d@citizen-systems.com.hk> and <user a@citizen-systems.com.hk> are working at the same office and under the same network. Network provider checked the protocol, router, traffic and firewall are working as normal.

2. <user e@citizen-systems.com.hk> found a number of emails that she kept at "Inbox" disappeared on 12 Jan 2026 morning +0800.

She is unable to find it anywhere at her whole mailbox but has to ask the senders to resend them to her.

It would be very much appreciated if you can check and advise how to prevent the issue from happening again.

I have a message filter that copies every sent item to a local folder when I send it. I want this in addition to the normal sent item placed in the IMAP folder.

This works fine, except that when I reply to an email and the subject is prepended with "Re: ", the copy made in the local folder is not prepended with "Re: ".

Why is this, and how can I make sure the copy in local folders is prepended with "Re: " as it is in the IMAP sent folder?

Recently Mint upgraded my FF to v147 - possibly relevant, possibly not. There's no post mentioning anyone having this issue on the Mint forum though.

In my Settings, "Open previous windows and tabs" is definitely enabled, but it doesn't happen. I only get my homepage custom URLs.

I went into troubleshooting mode and FF then behaves.

So I figured the issue must be with an extension - but I disabled all my extensions, and it doesn't help. Only going full troubleshooting mode fixes it.

What do I do next please?

Thunderbird has suddenly started autocorrecting a particular word in my emails. I type the word "Ronnie" a lot and for no apparent reason, a window with "Rog" and an X comes up and it autocorrects to "Rognie" - see attached screenshots.

I've looked online and someone suggested it could be something to do with my address book but it happens when I am composing the email itself.

My name is Roger and I sometimes sign off emails "Rog" but this autocorrection has only just started happening and I can get rid of it.

For clarity, I am based in the UK trying to shop from the co-op supermarket which is based in the UK.

I am getting an access denied message with shop.coop.co.uk, but not with any other UK online shopping site.

I have tried all the usual suggestions like reboot, clear cache, remove proxy, and I do not have VPN.

I have downloaded the html of the message, and taken a screenshot of it as shown below. Looking into the html, there are references to Incapsula, which may suggest where the problem lies?

This problem started when I had to change my Virgin Media hub from Super Hub 2 to Hub 4 around July last year.

One suggestion that is often made is to delete cookies. However it is not clear which cookies may be relevant.

Any ideas on how to identify the source of this issue will be most welcome.

I have a professional email address and a gmail address configured correctly in thunderbird. I also have a number of google calendars configured in lightning using the built-in google calendar support (i.e., I am not using the old google calendar plugin). Until recently, when I received and accepted a calendar invitation sent to my professional email address, thunderbird would ask to which calendar I wanted to save the invite. I would select the calendar I wanted and it would be saved appropriately.

A week ago, I created a new google calendar and added it to thunderbird/lightning using the built-in google calendar support. Now, when I accept a calendar invitation, it automatically goes to the new calendar (which is generally not appropriate) without asking me to choose. Furthermore, I am unable to edit these calendar events to change the calendar they are associated with. I have checked the properties of both the new and old calendars and they look the same.

The only seeming solution I found was to make the new calendar read only and disassociate it from an email address, and then undo both those options. For the time being, this operation seems to have gotten back the option to select which calendar invites are saved to. But I would still like to know if this was the correct solution and better understand how thunderbird chooses to save event invitations.
