I have used Thunderbird for 20 years or so and on Monday this week I suddenly started getting a message that it couldn't connect to server - that connection was refused. I also could not send email because connecting to outgoing server failed. Because this is multiple servers, it has to be problem with Thunderbird, but no changed had been made on the day the problem occurred. I believe it updated about a week before, but not at the time of the problem. Please help.

Thunderbird is designed to leave pasted hyperlinks as plain text in the Composer and doesn't add the anchor tag until after the message is sent. The writer can use the Insert menu to force addition of the anchor tag but it takes additional clicks most email clients don't require. With all the customization available in Thunderbird is there anyway to show pasted URLs in a different color than body text? I prefer some sort of visual confirmation there is a URL in the message before pressing the Send button.

I don't know what happened! This happened on Windows 10 - so that makes everything WORSE (if I was on my mac, I could have jut used TimeMachine to just go back to before this happened - problem solved).
This started because my elderly mother needed help finding an email, and so I sat down and opened Thunderbird... as a thousand times before. When I opened it, it said it needed an update. So I trustingly said ok. Expecting a run of the mill update.
Instead, IT WIPED OUT EVERYTHING and installed a completely new version! I don't know what version it had before (but I know I had updated it at least once this year?) There is no record in the system of any other version (that I can tell). But the current version is 68.1.0 which doesn't seem to match anything that I've read on here so far. That is also strange. Most discussion is around versions that are 60.x
Now, it opens as completely new, and wants the password (of which there is no record, so I have to change it). But she had a decade of folders set up and I'm 99% sure they will be lost, as they were not IMAP - I think they were on her system (or however that works - like I said, I am on a mac and use Mail). Luckily, her incoming emails are IMAP (I THINK!) Shes been using TB for a very long time, and there seemed to be no real reason to mess with it changing everything around, since it was fully functional, and this is the only place she sends emails. She will be utterly DEVASTATED. She LIVES for her emails!!!
Has anyone else had an update WIPE EVERYTHING OUT and install a new version? I've done all of her updates on this computer, and have never had anything like this happen!!!!

I love Thunderbird version 2.0.0.24, before any of the UI changes happened. The only challenge, is the notorious error message "Thunderbird can't connect securely to <named_website> because the site uses a security protocol which isn't enabled". The only solution I have found for this, is to update to a later version (which does not have the clean UI). I have gone though all of them, and its not an option.
So, is there anyway to get an update to version 2.0.0.24 (retaining the clean UI), with this networking fix?
Thank you, Martin
Is there a way to easily import EVERYTHING from emClient to Thunderbird? Emails, folder structures, accounts & passwords... everything!

I've googled the hell out of this. Seems that everything that 'might' work requires me to pay. However, I recall trying that in the past and nothing worked right... so I'm obviously hesitant to buy anything more. I originally moved to EmClient because Thunderbird was just randomly losing emails. I can't have that, so I made the move. Of course EMC made it so damn easy to make the move, but damn near impossible to migrate to anything else. Figured with Windows 10 laptop I have now, I'd give T-Bird another shot... I really loved it before. EMC works, but it's not as useful to me as TBird was. If I cannot migrate everything, then T-Bird just won't be an option.

I received teh message that Thunderbird needs to be restarted due to the upgrade to 68.1.0. After I restarted my Win10 client Thunderbird does not start any more. Everytime I try to start it the following message comes up:
"Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Thunderbird. Do you want to reboot now?"
I have done this and still the message comes up.
I tried ti re-install Thunderbird version 68.1.0 as well as 60.6.1 but the the message from above appears always.
Please you anybody give me some support?
Thank you very much!

Until now on my old computer I had this option checked in Thunderbird: "Message deleted locally will be moved to a trash folder on the server... and I was able to delete messages on the server this way by deleting the messages in Thunderbird. But right now on my new computer and my newly installed Thunderbird no such option is available anymore. How can I set up Thunderbird so that the messages deleted there are also immediately deleted/or moved to Trush folder on the server. I would really appreaciate the feedback.

Telus, my ISP in Alberta, Canada has had an ongoing mail server outage. As of today, it's one month, and although "most people are back up and running", I appear to be one of the few that aren't. My problem is that when I try to connect to Telus's IMAP server, Thunderbird gives me an error message, as follows: "The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeeed. The mail server for account [my account name] responded: EXPUNGE failed." My knowledge is somewhat limited, but I take that to mean that in attempting to sync up my local copy of Inbox with the one on the server, an attempt to delete an email failed.
At first, I assumed this was a problem at Telus's end, but started to think otherwise when I realized that I can access the account on my iPhone.
In Thunderbird, I have tried: > deleting and re-creating the account > Changing the way Thiunderbird deals with deleted emails > Setting up a brand new Thunderbird profile and adding the single account to it. The EXPUNGE error message still continues to be displayed. In desperation(!), I set up the account in Outlook, and it, like my phone, works without protest. (However, I couldn't find any settings that mirror Thunderbird's "When I delete a message" options.)
I'm now very concerned that my ISP will tell me that my problem is in Thunderbird and therefore nothing to do with them.
Has anyone experienced this persistent "EXPUNGE failure"? Can anyone comment on why it might still be my ISP's problem and not Thunderbird's? All help greatly appreciated.

Version 60.9.0 (32-bit) My PC was "hibernated" over the week-end (Windows 10) and when I opened Thunderbird this morning no folders or mail boxes where present. I was presented with a dialogue to set up a calender when Thunderbird loaded, and, after completing this, the only mailbox available was the one I had designated for access to the calender.
How do I recover everything please? Why was I presented with the calender dialaogue when TB loaded?
Thanks

Hi, I have a strange problem with Thunderbird.
In my Inbox I have a sub-folder that is intact but below that were 5 sub-folders which have all 'disappeared'. The .sbd folders and the .msf files are still in my Profile but the folders and emails don't show in Thunderbird. I've deleted global-messages-db.sqlite and re-launched Thunderbird but that doesn't work.
I'm using the latest Thunderbird and Windows 7.
As this is my work email I'm desperate to get access to those emails again!
I've run out of ideas. Any help much appreciated.

Very often, threading is broken, but only in e-mails, newsgroups are ok

e-mail messages are sorted by date, descending.
Details:
Take first image: The first message with subject "Re: [ic-7610] wsjt-x 2.1.0 FT8..." is the first reply in the thread and should be located after the father message, five lines below (see date).
Take second image: The first message with subject "Re: [ic-7610] GPS 10 MHz...] is one of the last replies in the thread and should be located after many messages below the father (see date). The message immediatly above the blue line is not correctly indented with respect to the thread's father and seems to belong to another non-existent thread.
This problem appeared after a Thunderbird update, but I don't remember how many months ago; however I have been observing this boring problem for a long time. Deactivating and activating threaded messages again doesn't resolve the problem; using "\" and "*" doesn't resolve the problem. It's interesting to notice that this problem manifests itself only in standard e-mails; news reader is not affected and threading is always correct.

I'm experiencing an issue with Thunderbird when trying to move an email thread, that I have recently replied to, into a folder after sending it.
The issue began first with it crashing randomly and working fine in Safe Mode. Now this issue also occurs in Safe Mode and does not crash but freezes after the email has been moved or is left hanging with the loading wheel spinning infinitely until a restart or force quit.
For some strange reason, it does not produce a BP ID for me to copy when I try and send a crash report, but was able to download one but cannot attach it so here is a WeTransfer Link (https://we.tl/t-5OegralWcw).
Any ideas what the issue could be? It's happening on a MacBook Pro with a touch pad and running version 10.14.6. ThunderBird is up to date.

I'm reporting this issue with my current version of Thunderbird and Mac OS, which are the latest versions available, but it also applies to previous versions.
The bug has been there for months, but I can't say precisely for how long, maybe 7 months.
Versions: Thunderbird 60.8.0, Mac OS 10.14.3
Behavior: multiple times a day, when sending an email with the main Thunderbird window minimized, the app just crashes.
What happens: the mail is sent correctly, the mail window closes, but then I'm unable to restore Thunderbird main window (clicking with the right mouse on the icon it says that it's not working correctly... when I manage to restore it, it's all greyed out, showing the Apple spinning wheel, and I have to force the exit).
I have no Mozilla Crash Reports, because it doesn't ever shows up.
I have captured a Spindump (2,7 mb), if it can be useful.
Thanks, Roberto

I have been successfully using MPE to sync my TB calendar on a WIN7 PC to a MOTO 6 phone for a long time. With help from Toad Hall here I now have TB working fine on my new WIN10 PC. However, after a week of trying I have not succeeded to implement MPE. I have tried MPE support with a nil response. If anyone here has any ideas including any alternative programs to MPE I would be very pleased to hear from you.
