I loaded TB a couple of days ago and the header area was a shaded dark grey where before it had been pale. My contact list was reduced from hundreds to an original 20 or so; and all my stored messages were gone (several years' worth). Can anybody tell me whether it is possible to get back to how it was a week ago?

As soon as I installed version 60.x (Windows 7), Thunderbird started hanging every few minutes, displaying a "not responding" message. It would take 30 seconds or more for it to recover each time. Disabling add-ons and restarting Thunderbird in safe mode made no difference. The odd thing is that these problems persist even after switching back to 52.x, in a desperate attempt to make the program operational again. There has been no change in my hardware or software that might possibly be the culprit and all my other programs, including CPU/RAM-greedy ones, behave normally. I've been using Thunderbird for more than ten years without any problem and I'm now frustrated to the point of considering scrapping it altogether. Any ideas?

Hi all: Recently, every time I start TB, it starts up with the same search term entered in Quickfilter and request the password of the account. Entered the password, clicked on "Use Password manager", deleted the search term in Quickfilter and TB works normally. Close TB, restart : same search term in Quickfilter and TB asks for the password. I tried deleting key4.db and logins.json, but no success.
Funny note: the password problem appears **only** for my POP account. For the IMAP account, he asked for the password after I deleted key4.db and logins.json, but never again afterwards.
It seems that TB does not update some *.ini file or whatever governs the startup options like a current entry in the Quickfilter or which folder to display. Is there any way to delete this without using any configuration settings? Or any other solution around this?

After some time running, Thunderbird is constantly using between 40 and 60% of the CPU. I have to close and restart Thunderbird for the CPU usage to drop in the single digit, but after a while (hours), it get back to the 60%.

I have received requests from people to stop receiving my newsletter. I remove them from the address book by clicking on their profile and clicking on delete. I double check the address book and their email is no longer there. If I respond to their email directly their address arrives in my address book under Collected Addresses but they are no longer in my distribution lists. How come they continue to still receive my newsletter? Thanks in advance.

GDPR and email hacking has us all worried. First, I'd like to delete old stored addresses, and so I'd like to sort them by the date they were stored or last used.
Second, I'd like some way to protect my address book and stored emails so the remaining personal information can not easily be harvested by malware.
Finally, and maybe this is easiest, I'd like new contacts from incoming or outgoing emails not to be stored by default, but on request.
Any help gratefully received.

According to the website https://rainbow.chard.org/2013/02/19/thunderbird-high-cpu/, there is a fix for high CPU utilization which showed up for me (T'bird 60.6.0, Mint 64 bit). According to this website, this fix has been available for close to 8 years but never brought into the development process. Not sure why. But my 85-90% battery-killing CPU utilization dropped to less than 1% with a change of the mail.db.idle_limit from 300000 to 3000000 and a restart. I'd love to know if this is a real fix or if, by using the fix, I have screwed up something else.

Hi
I recently changed my email format from POP to IMAP, and everything is working fine, except since changing, attachments are missing from any e-mails I forward (that originally contained attachments).
- there is no indication of the attachment(s) in the received message when forwarded - I have not made any other changes other than the necessary account settings change to receive in IMAP - Display attachment inline is ticked
I would really appreciate any help as this is really baffling me!
Thanks

after a full migration using a combination of easeus todo pctrans and mozbackup, most accounts are not gathering emails from the webhost servers. Essentially thunderbird says it is collecting email from the 1st in the list, the prompt stays for quite some time and nothing happens then the prompt goes away (bottom left of info bar) with nothing coming into the account, Going to developer tools error console shows nothing whatsoever.
I have tried adding another account to so if there was something that did not migrate correctly but that is not working either.
Anyone come across this and resolve it?

Recently Thunderbird has stopped downloading multiple emails when the sender is the same, there are no settings to override or change this!
How do I know this is happening? I have specific emails automatically forwarded to an additional address on my email server. Those forwarded emails are arriving to that forwarded address without error. However the same emails, that used to be downloaded, are not available in Thunderbird!
In this situation, I have mails for job offers that range from 1 to 3 mails at a time (per day), all from the same sender (auto mailer). One, and only one, Thunderbird downloads. The others are not. No, they are not in the spam, junk or trash folders, they simply are ignored, but marked as downloaded on the server - and Thunderbird ignores them after that.
I consider this a major programming error as this behavior was not happening in the past. This needs to be addressed and an update provided asap, as there is no reason for this to be happening. Not one.
The only changes was Thunderbird updating, no new add-ons were added or removed. I do not remember what the last version was that was working correctly, but this change started near the end of 2018.
Had I not had an auto-forward on on this sender, I wouldn't have known it was happening. If the programmers are abusing the end user in this way, I wonder how many other mails I, and many others, are not getting and how many Thunderbird (and inevitability Mozilla) may be sending without us even knowing it.
Mozilla needs to address this - publicly.

A work colleague typically uses an email address that is different than the email address that is in their digital certificate. So when trying to send an encrypted email to them I can only send to the address in their digital certificate; unable to send encrypted to their other email address using that certificate.
Outlook has a "registry" option to allow this to be done by putting in a "SupressNameChecks" key and setting it to 1. Outlook typically does a check to see if the email in the certificate matches the email of the recipient; if no match then Outlook disallows action. But putting in this key "overrides" the Outlook and tells it to not perform the "email check matching". Doing this then allows you to send email encrypted to an address different than the address in teh certificate.
Wondering if something similar can be done for the Thunderbird client ? Maybe under the "Certificate Manager" -> "People" tab? Thanks Very much!
Thunderbird hangs on saving replies to original folder (not sent mail folder)

Whenever I send an email, it sends fine to my mail server and saves a copy perfectly to my "Sent folder".
But, Thunderbird hangs forever when trying to save the reply to the "original message" folder. Sometimes, it processes and saves correctly (after a good 15-30+ mins). Other times (after a long period), I have to manually quit the save message and retry. When I do quit and retry a couple of times, it sometimes saves correctly. But, this a hassle to baby-sit the process.
I have multiple clients in separate email folders on my mail server. I like to keep all the conversations separate and in a threaded list. I also use multiple computers\devices, so I want the messages always available to me wherever I am.
I have "place replies in the folder of the message being replied to" option checked on the "copies and folders" screen. When I have this option unchecked, there isn't any hanging, but then the reply is only in my "Sent" folder. This is fine for items you are replying to in the inbox, but sometimes I am replying to a message that is already in a separate folder on the server.

Hello community,
I have the need for a simple solution.
Question: How do I configure Thunderbird Lightning in order to use 2 or more CalDAV-calenders from different domains but hosted at the same provider?
Searching the internet gave following information:
Same challenge were raised in this link:
I have not tried the solution regarding making an alias in the host file as the group of end-users I am going to share the calendar with are not that skilled.
There has been two bug cases reported:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799184 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247486
Both are according to my information unsolved.
Are there anyone who are capable for solving this challenge?
- or a guide in how to create a bug report..
Thanks,
JB
