When I moved to a new computer, there were almost a thousand messages in my Inbox. Because of this (I think), the program will not remove messages from the Inbox when I copy them to a Local Folder. So I now have over 1100 messages in the Inbox. And it will not allow me to delete messages from the Inbox. In addition, it does not keep these messages marked "As read". What can I do to clean out this Inbox? Denis

When I enter a search string such as "75-0098-01", the search returns messages with only partial matches like "0098".

Is it possible to use a search string and get back results that find only that complete string?

thanks and best regards, John

Idea for push notifications on mobile devices

Hello everyone,

The current implementation of push notification in Thunderbird keeps a persistent connection to the email servers and consumes a lot more battery/compute.


An alternative idea that is used by some other projects like Bitwarden is a push notifications relay. https://bitwarden.com/help/configure-push-relay/


1. A service running not on the phone keeps a connection open to the email servers. This can be a discrete application and it can optionally be bundled into Thunderbird desktop.

2. A website similar to push.bitwarden.com where users can generate "proxy" tokens for the real push tokens for their installations or maybe we can share the original push token directly instead of relaying notifications through thunderbird infra? I will prefer the latter but I have not thought about the security considerations of exposing the real push notification token

3. The discrete application or Thunderbird desktop can send a message to GCM/APM using the token when they receive an email.


This is the only blocker for me in adopting thunderbird on android and I really want to do it but immediate push notifications that don't impact battery/compute are a priority for me.

Hi,

I have been using Thunderbird for a long while and it works great. Thank you.

This week, I have had to update my PC to Win 11, so I had to re-download Mozilla Thunderbird from scratch.

When I go to transfer my Thunderbird address book, there is supposed to be a choice of how you save the file - csv, PDF or similar?

Today, all I was offered was a Zip file, which wouldn't then open. I tried two different Zip programmes, neither could extract all the files, so it was a total failure. Total brick wall.

I then "manually" had to transfer each and every contact into my new Thunderbird Address Book.

Whatever happened to the choice of file when transferring Thunderbird Address Books?

Would appreciate a reply. [edited email from public support forum]. Thanks in advance,

Peter Nunn
