Hi all,

I have found a bug with version 10.1 of the Thunderbird email app for Android.

When I go to Sent Items in the Thunderbird app, choose a previously sent email to view it, then choose 'Edit as new message', then make the necessary changes and choose 'Save draft', Thunderbird crashes and the new message is lost (not getting saved in drafts).

I am trying to get away from Google and anything Google like its' search engine. I contribute financially to Mozilla and would prefer to use Thunderbird. I set up an account with Mailfence, as it was one of the only options I could find away from the big tech entities that had an independent email server. (If there is a better alternative please let me know, but I have already paid for a year of service.) I have not been able to get Thunderbird and Mailfence to work together. How do I dissociate with Google and change to Mailfence? Thanks for any help in my effort! Jeff

Today, when I use, create, or rename a sub folder in my inbox, then move an email into it, the email doesn't display in the sub folder. (it says no message found). All filters are off. Across the top of the open sub folder, it says the name of the sub folder in bold, and says there are "2 messages". So, the messages were moved, but I can't see them. I have version 140.4.0esr, 32 bit. Interestingly, it hasn't asked for an update. Also, I'm using Windows 10 Home, v 22H2, 64 bit. I appreciate any thoughts, folks. Thanks! Allan

I am getting this error message "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

I definitely have enough disc space. I have been trying to archive old messages but that doesn't seem to help.

In The Olde Days (TM) when Thunderbird had plain-language file names I could archive the old folders, delete all the messages before a date I might reasonably need them (in this case I probably would have used 2024) and that seemed to clear it up.

However now all the folders are names with artificially created random characters, I can't tell what is what.

I've tried some things including restarting and some message archiving, but I have no idea how to further troubleshoot this problem!

Please help? You can also reach me at woodendoor@truthandfiction.com.

Thanks CJ

Hello, gentlements!

I have installed Thunderbird via POP3 protocol. I can receive mail, but not send. Yesterday I bought BitDefender Premium Security with VPN (Unlimited traffic). As soon as I turned it on, I can't send any more messages. When I turn it off, I can send messages normally. My VPN is set to my country (Croatia). Can someone help me how to get Thunderbird to work as before? I would like to point out that I really need a VPN, because I work with sensitive data. Here are the settings for the incoming and outgoing servers:

I allowed Thunderbird to compact my files after I got tired of seeing the prompts for it, now all my messages are apparently gone for one account, in over 12 different sub folders. How do I get these back’ for ‘Thunderbird’ ? VERY IMPORTANT! version 144.0.1 (64 bit)

This is the second time I have lost emails with Thunderbird.

IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, I AM DONE WITH THIS CRAP!

Several days ago, I asked for an explanation of any process that would retrieve the emails I lost (completely missing) after the compacting process. (You are referring to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1513163 )

Your information indicates that compacting would not cause any data loss. That has not been the case.

To date, I further haven't received any response regarding how I might retrieve those emails.

Many of these emails are quite important to my business - and I entrusted your software to preserve those. Again - no response regarding how I might retrieve them.

Please respond ASAP - I am at critical juncture here, and need a resolution forthwith.

Thank you. John Van Epps <redacted>@gmail.com

I recently set up unified mailbox for all my email accounts under manage folders. I activated it for Inbox, sent, and trash but when I go to the unified folder it only show inbox not sent or trash folders. Why? The inbox folder portion is dispalying all messages by color code correctly.

I am using TB mobile version 13.0

I am using Thunderbird V144.0.1 on a computer running Windows 11 Home build 26100. Suddenly, Thunderbird stopped displaying some of my Local Folders. I don't know what I did to cause it; I don't recall making any changes. On investigating the issue, none of the other help I found in the forums or elsewhere on-line worked for me.

While performing one of the instructions, I was trying to copy my Thunderbird profile mail folder to a different location before creating a new profile. Copying the folder gave me an error of a file name being too long. I moved the folder with the too-long file into a different subfolder with a shorter directory name. Lo and behold, all of my folders, including the ones I moved, are now appearing in my Thunderbird Local Folders.

I don't really need any help, but I wanted to post this solution since I didn't encounter it anywhere else.

I get the pop-up attached and the notification: "The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account < --- > responded: [LIMIT] UID COPY rate limit... (it's cut off beyond that).

I'm getting this response regularly, although not every time, when creating new message filters. The filters simply copy and delete from the inbox to a folder on the email server.

The inbox that has several hundred emails and choosing a new or existing target folder makes no difference. It seems as if it can only process a certain number of emails and if the number is too high it aborts the filter.

FWIW, some of the filters run fine after the original emails are moved into the target folders manually - i.e. when new emails arrive they are properly moved.

The source is a Yahoo account. I have set the threads to 1 and restarted. I am using TB 144.

Please craft a platform that offers unparalleled ease of use for managing multiple email accounts, akin to the seamless experience of Windows Live 12. This strategy will captivate users and position your software as a must-have solution in the market. You will have the opportunity to sell your platform.

I have just followed the TB instructions to move to a new Win11 PC, All seemed ok after, new emails come in ok but I am missing my address book and archive files. Any ideas please. Ron

I am trying to reinstall email accounts that I have previously used but cancelled but when I try I am told there is an authentication error. What am I doing wrong.?

Hello,

A couple of days ago when I opened Thunderbird all of my emails in my Inbox before 18.10. where suddenly gone. All other files in my folders and trash are still there as far as I can tell.

First I thought they were moved but I can't find them anymore, they just vanished.

The inbox file in my profile folder is now 2MB in size, I have a backup from 2 years ago where it was 2,3GB so it must have been even bigger than that.

I believe there was a thunderbird update but it was so fast that I did not even notice at first.

I'm on windows 10 and thunderbird 144.0.1

I'm pretty sure my mails are gone, I was just wondering if anyone is in a similar situation and what could have caused this.

Thanks for any clues.

I want to access local folders (with my archived E-Mails) from various devices. May it possible to Store the local folders on a File Server for this purpose? I Experimentes a little Bit, but without any success ... Maybe there are specific Add-Ons for it for Thunderbird?

Hallo,

wir haben ein Problem bei unseren E-Mail Entwürfen. Als wir heute morgen den PC angemacht haben, waren unsere Entwürfe verschwunden, gestern waren diese noch da. Sie sind nicht mehr auffindbar. Es ist als wären diese verschwunden.

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit die Entwürfe wieder herzustellen?

Vielen Dank.

Viele Grüße

Sabrina
