Hi,

I'm a long time thunderbird user, recently I migrated my installation to a new PC and found that the global search does not work past January 2023 for my emails.

At first I thought this was due to my migration from my old PC. So I attempted to uninstall TB, reinstall and import the profile again fresh. This didnt work. Frustrating! However I went back to my old PC and entered a search term that should come up LONG past 2023 and yet even in my old installation the search halts at 2023. Now I am confused as to why?

Prior it has always worked on the older PC with no issues at all.

I really REALLY need to fix this issue, as it is necessary to use for my work, in order to reference on-going projects and work with customers.

I've included images of searching for a search term that should be found in many of the older folders, but not searching actively in those folders. I've also included an image of the older folder emails including the search term as being present.

Please your help is appreciated!

Getting error 104 with or with out attachments. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the program with no change. This started after changing our domain provider. Doesn't happen every time but I can never get through the day without the error. Once it errors, I can't send any emails. Closing and restarting the program doesn't help. Don't seem to have any trouble receiving. I have received emails in the same session that sending failed. Any suggestions?

TB v115.8.0 (64-bit) Closed the app and went to dinner Came back and opened the app. All the tasks are GONE!!!

I know TB keeps everything in text files, so I found the "calendar-data" folder and opened some files using NOTEPAD.EXE to find keywords I know represent my tasks. Sure enough, the data is there in the sqlite files.

What's the secret code that simply decides to not open those files and populate my task window?

The more mails are in a thunderbird folder like "Inbox", the more the computer has to work to administer them. Wouln't it be advantageous to keep all mails as individual eml-Files within the operating system which need hardly to be changed once saved. Only index entries in a database like the current global-messages-db.sqlite might have to be updated more often. Furthermore, this saving mode could easier provide the possibility of opening the same email collection in a network from dfferent terminals concurrently, given that the index database be network-compatible.

There must be a way. Trying to avoid an hour searching non-answers. Would love a clear simple way to flush the queue if there is incoming email waiting on the web.

What do I need to do when I go to print and print screen comes up, a display shows my email in garblely gook. Also prints that way. I just started having this problem with email I received.

Hi,

Sort by threaded it not working in my Intel MacBook. Thunderbird version is 115.8.0 64 bit. This feature works perfectly in my MacBook with apple silicon.

Thanks.

When sending an email, it seems to get stucked or freezed, while trying to connect with the Godaddy smtp-servers. Never experienced this the last 15 years.Godaddy said, it`s an thunderbird-issue, cause their Webmail is working. Already tried all your fixing advices,changed server configuration,tried different ports, started in save-mode without add-ones. I deleted one account and set it up again, what didn`t solved it.Would REALLY appreciate your help. Regards from Stefan

Hi guys I set up Thunderbird some months ago and all good. Now I have had notification from my internet provider that my domain "Clear" is ending soon and I had to set up "Outlook" to receive emails going forward. I have done this and my internet provider has helped with a redirection from Clear to Outlook and also in my Thunderbird I have all my old Clear emails plus folders and also the new Outlook emails. Problem is when I open my emails it takes about 5 mins for them to pull through each day (most days just a dozen emails - nothing too big). Same when I send emails it sits and takes about a minute for the sending bar to drop off screen to send one email. I am using Trendmicro but that didnt cause a issue previously. I wonder if my IP has changed a setting? Any help really appreciated ;-)

"The message could not be sent because the connection to outgoing server smtp.gmail.com was lost in the middle of the transaction. Please try again."

I have recently started using Thunderbird 52.0.1. I use Thunderbird for two accounts, both Outlook, one through my school's 365 and one just outlook.com. The school account works well, the outlook.com account does not. I repeatedly get error messages as indicated in the attached screenshot.

Things I have tried: creating exclusions for my profiles (no effect); starting in Thunderbird safe mode (no change); using with or without my VPN (expressvpn) on (no change); repairing inbox.msf file (no improvement); compacting folder (no effect); changing the size of the cache (no effect); decreasing the size of INBOX file that is kept locally (no change); re-entering my password as I am sometimes prompted to do (no change); changing how often mail is checked, anywhere from 1 minute to ten minutes (no effect).

I am running outlook imap (imap-mail.outlook.com; port 993; SSL/TLS; normal password).

It does occasionally work, but for seemingly no reason. I'm not a computer person so I don't doubt that I'm missing something, I'm just trying my best.
