I'm in the process of cleaning up Thunderbird e-mail before moving to a new computer. I started with 11,593 e-mails in my Inbox and 7,799 e-mails in my Sent folder. I'm now down to 7,634 in my Inbox and 4,965 in my Sent folder. I've allocated 2 weeks for this process and found that it's taking me about 3 hours per day to meet my daily goals. I'm finding that I'm spending at LEAST half the time responding to "Empty-Trash/Compact-folders" requests. There are times I can delete 50 e-mails at a time without getting a request. Other times I will try to delete ten e-mails and get the request. With the old version of Thunderbird I could literally delete hundreds of e-mails at a time. Can you help? Russ Bukwa Yardley, PA ps. I have intentionally given you specific numbers. Based on my software- and test-engineering experience, I speculate you need to create a stress test to solve this nagging problem.

1. Thunderbirdportable 139.0.2: Nearly all emails work well. But the attached email doesn't present the inline pictures well. I tried outlook, foxmail, emclient and all worked very well. But TB cannot do it.


2. ThunderbirdPortableLegacy52_52.9.1 Other emails look good. Suddenly received the new email and it becomes plain text. Checked inbox online and tried emclient/outlook and all display the email in html. It also works on Thunderbirdportable 139.0.2. Really confused...

I can access addons.thunderbird.net with Firefox without any problems or being asked to "verify you are human by completing the action below.", yet when I try to access it from Thunderbird's add-ons manager, I am asked to complete the captcha, which after about 30 seconds of "Verifying you are human. This may take a few seconds." goes back to "verify you are human by completing the action below." I tried troubleshoot mode to no avail, I am not using a VPN or anything like that.

When I add any email that I receive from British Airways to my address book, Thunderbird does not hide the email address in the From display pane. I do not appear to have this problem with other accounts from which I receive regular emails. Could this be a problem at their end ?

Due to the lack of a suitable topic related to “print” options, I can only choose the topic related to persistence, "Download and Save."

The first image is part of the original webpage, where one of the buttons is selected.

However, in the print view (the second image), the selected state disappears.

I have switched across multiple devices, various versions of Firefox, and several different printers (MS Print to PDF or physical printers), and this phenomenon consistently occurs.

Firefox is my daily browser, but in order to print similar financial approval forms, I have to switch to Edge or Chrome to complete the task.

I hope Mozilla's excellent engineers can locate and fix this issue.

Thank you.

Bonjour à tous. Je suis client orange. Depuis une dizaine de jours maintenant, je n'arrive plus à recevoir mes mails sur thunderbird. Il m'a d'abord demandé de recomposer mon mot de passe, chose qu'il ne fait jamais. Puis je n'arrrivais pas à me connecter. Il me noté mot de passe incorrect ou identifiant. Puis au bout de deux jours, alors que je n'avait rien fait mes mails sont arrivés. Et depuis le 16 juin, à nouveau le même problème. j'ai reçu mes mails mais je ne pouvais pas en envoyer. Là je n'ai rien retapé comme mot de passe, rien changé. J'ai juste attendu et ce matin, alors que plus rien ne se passait depuis le 16, mes mails sont arrivés et j'ai pu en envoyer un.

Quelqu'un serait il me dire si le problème vient d'une mise à jour de thunderbird, ou de mon opérateur orange, ou même de mon anti virus norton.

Merci

Google suggestion in Firefox's address bar keep showing Japanese suggestions even though I chose English and Canada as language and location with my google account.

I use same google account with google chrome, but google chrome doesn't show Japanese suggestion.

As for setting on Firefox, I unticked other than "show search suggestions".

How do I resolve it?

Thank you.

Hello, I have a problem with one email account. Grouping does not affect it. It does not group... Everything was OK but I changed the POP server address to MAIL for a moment and then back to POP. Since then the account has not grouped. I want to have all the mailboxes "received" together. What could be the reason that this one account does not group and it used to group?

Hi, At work I've downloaded some e-mails. I've readed and... Some of them I want to keep on server and take care of them at home. But some of them I want to delete from server POP3, because I don't want to manage them at home again.

Is there a way to delete specified e-mails from server POP3?

Maybe something like: If I move to trash (or junk) it deletes from server, If I not move to trash it stays on server?
