Suddenly on my PC the icon of Firefox turned white on both desktop and taskbar. And whenever I try to open Firefox, it says, "The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable." And I didn't make any changes myself. So far it was fine. Now what can/should I do?

Title. Thunderbird is a really cool client but it's pretty slow. I blame that on the thousands upon thousands of emails that my hotmail and gmail each hold. I don't necessarily want to delete these emails, but I have seldom a reason to have any email older than 2 months in my thunderbird client slowing and crashing the program whenever I want to combine inboxes.

To this end I went to "Synchronization & Storage" and told it to "Synchronize the most recent 2 months" but it didn't delete the huge cluster of older emails. The next option is to tell TB to delete these emails in the same menu but as I understand it that would also delete them in the server, which I don't want to do for posteriority.

What do I do?

Ever since the last update, my keyboard isn't appearing in Firefox Focus when I tap the url bar. Normally it would appear to type in a new url, but not anymore. When I tap the bar, it automatically selects the complete url but then I have to tap again in order to show the keyboard. See the attached screenshot; I have tapped the url bar here but no keyboard has appeared.

I am using the regular keyboard on Android, Gboard. I'm on Android 13. Using a Fairphone 4.

Everything is updated to the latest available.

Не отправляются письма ни из одного адреса через приложение Thunderbird. SMTP протоколы настроены правильно. Один из адресов использует стандартный протокол mail.ru, но письма тоже не отправляются. При этом входящая почта доставляется в нормальном режиме. Если зайти в почту через браузер, письма абсолютно нормально отправляются. Как решить данную проблему?

Hello,

we are a group of 9 people, organizing us with TAGs in Thunderbird (using same IMAP Mail). Before update to 115 version from 102 (I think) the tags were working flawlessly for more than 10 years. Now the syncing of tags somehow changed. For example if someone change the tag on received e-mail, on other computers the tag stays the same, until you click on that e-mail or until again a new e-mail arrives. That is very confusing because all the time you are not sure who's tag is selected or even more problematic that you untag someone who was already tagged. Before if someone tagged e-mail message, the tag was synced in next second, nevertheless at which e-mail were you standing. That was perfect!

I hope for implementation the option to manage tag-syncing time. Or can someone tell me if that's possible to manage that somewhere inside manual settings(Config editor)? I would also be pleased that somebody explain me how the tags synchronization actually works in latest TB?

Thank you all!

Where can I get the bug fix for email jumping in the preview window? I understand that the fix has been created and tested. I downloaded what I think is the daily build, but, When I attempt to install it, I am told that I require windows 10. This is getting very aggravating. What took an hour before the upgrade now takes at least three hours for reading my email.

I use Thunderbird for 4 Google email accounts and 1 Sasktel email account. All 5 accounts are IMAP. Sometime within the last few days, hundreds of sent emails have gone missing from one of the Google email accounts, and the single Sasktel email account.

I haven't made any changes.

My disk cleaner is set to leave Thunderbird alone.

Thunderbird updates automatically. Could the most recent update have somehow deleted my emails?

Is there any way to get those sent emails back on my laptop? I see that they still exist on the Sasktel and Gmail servers (if that's the right terminology)?

Firefox for Android is constantly hanging on my Xiaomi MI9 (Android 11). Let's say I open the Firefox, browsing some time, then open another tab and it's hanging. I had to force stop it and restart. This is happening every day multiple times per day. I also noticed that "Share" menu doesn't load anything, neither my devices nor applications, if the Firefox is about to start hanging. If I open any link in a new tab after I see that I cannot share the current page - it will be hanging. It also often starts hanging when I click the URL bar, when I try to copy the URL of the current page. I cannot willingly reproduce the issue. Sometimes it just works great no matter how much I was browsing and how many apps I switched. Sometimes it starts hanging very close after loading the browser. The very usual pattern is the following: I open the browser, start searching something, like "flight tickets", go to some site, and then open any link from this site in a new tab. And it starts hanging. This happens let's say 5-10 times per day. Sometimes it happens every time repeatedly, one after another. But sometimes not. I'm using latest version of Firefox from Play store.

This started two days ago and I've been searching the web for solutions, but all I get are outdated solutions that won't wonk on my current Thunderbird version 115.4.2. When I open the Thunderbird window, two smaller windows open asking for me to enter the passwords for the two att.net accounts. I assumed they meant my AT&T passwords but when I entered them they came back as "failed". I then tried the "master" password I put in several years ago (which I have never needed to re-enter) and that didn't work either. I am attaching a photo of what comes up when I open Thunderbird. You can see the two boxes that want me to enter the passwords but I have no idea what to enter. If it wasn't my master password or my AT&T passwords for each account, it must have been something I used when I installed Thunderbird ten years ago that somehow got deleted or lost.

I downloaded another email client to use temporarily until I get my Thunderbird fixed so I can not get my emails, but I hate this new client for a lot of reasons that are irrelevant here. I hate this new client and I need my Thunderbird back. Can anyone give me any idea on how to find the right password or to change the password so it will work again?

I check 7 different email accounts. Now when I check them and click on an email the whole section will go to the top or the bottom, Then I need to scroll down or scroll up to get back to the new emails. And different email accounts do different things. I use Windows 11 - 64 bit. I've really liked Thunderbird over the years, have contributed so I hope these flaws gets fixed. It's just so problematic to use it now. I don't have the time to spend hours searching through threads to find if it's even fixable.

I have a client that is responsible for sending emails to all members of a board of directors on a timely manner. All members are on Gmail. The client is also on Gmail. She has created a list in Outlook to send a monthly document. Sends it to the list. Google refuses to execute and does not notify until a day or so later. Error msg says the bulk mailing rule offended.(Rule says it comes into effect when 2500 emails sent but balks at a list of 40...go figure) The solution I am looking for would send to the list members one at a time 10 seconds apart sidestepping the Google Bulk email bulk mailing rule. Is there a way to script and call from an email list?
