Cannot send some emails from the address book. Comcast says it is not a server problem.

Keep getting this message when trying to send a group email from the address book -"The size of the message you are trying to send exceeds a temporary size limit of the server. The message was not sent, try to reduce the message size or wait some time and try again. The server responded: 4.1.1... temporary failure."
Comcast has checked it - the issue is not the server they say. This problem just started 4 days ago. It appears other people have this problem on the thunderbird forum and it has not been resolved yet.

So this morning I went back to look at an old message (Dec 2014) in my Sent folder to get some information out of it and it would not open, just showed blank screen. No other issues that have been noted and Sent folder was working last week.
I double checked all my settings, all set correctly, as in....Save all, no delete, save to Sent etc.... I went and compacted the folder, and now it says it has 29 messages in the folder, it had over 2000 before!
I tried deleting the MSF, and rebuilding still at 29. Trash did the same, it had a large amount of messages and now is under 150.
Basically anything in Sent or Trash before Feb 20th 2015 is missing.
I am in dire need of a fix, these emails are extremely important!
Thanks in advance

When I start Thunderbird, sometimes I get a message in the lower half of the message screen that it can't reach live.mozillamessaging.org, and the program has no online access. Sometimes restarting it a few times fixes the problem, sometimes a computer reboot fixes it. I do have Internet access since other programs can get online with no problems. I am using Norton 360 and the program rules allow Thunderbird complete access. The strange thing about this problem is that it's random, and can happen when I haven't made any changes except to restart Thunderbird, or do a system restart.

Dear Support,
I have recently moved some users from outlook to thunderbird, and uninstalled MS office from their computers, as I have arabic users, some of the old emails which are in Arabic are displaying as special characters.
The strange thing is other emails ( which are also in arabic) are fine, I tried changing character encoding and even changed encoding from "Menu location:Edit | Folder Properties | General Information", but nothing is working, I have attached a screenshot of an email. any help would be highly appreciated.

Although I have been a Firefox user for over 10 years, I have been struggling, and I mean STRUGGLING, with Windows Live Mail and all it's resource problems (continually recovering databases) because I couldn't find an alternative to WLM that had folder support. I recently read that Hotmail was now using IMAP and hey presto, I am now in the process of waiting for Thunderbird to finish retrieving my considerable folder information.
I have three questions, but may I request that, as far as possible, any replies you kind souls give me, please could you give me some sort of positional navigation, such as 'top right next to the Display Thunderbird Menu button'. I do use vision, but my screen is greatly magnified, so I don't see all the screen at the same time, plus, even with the magnififcation my vision is not good.
1. How do I seach within a single folder, such as just in the 'Inbox' or in one of my other personal folders?
2. All my junk mail from hotmail is going into a corresponding 'Junk' folder in Thunderbird. The problem is, unlike the 'Inbox', 'Sent', 'Draft', and 'Deleted' folders, my 'Junk' folder is positioned all the way down my folder list, alphabetically, under J. I'd like this up at the top as it one of my frequenstly used folders.
3. Some of the background colours, such as on the Tabs, are a little on the bright side for me, and I'd like to darken the shade a little. Is there a way of easily doing this?
I would like to thank anyone in advance of any help they give!
PS The Thunderbird version is 31.5.0 and I'm on Windows 7. I use Windows Colour Scheme 'High Contrast Black'

I run Thunderbird on ~5 Macs and PCs. I am old fashioned and use the brute force search option which you get by edit->find->find messages or option-command-f on a Mac. On one of my Macs a number of the search field options are missing. In particular the "From, To, CC, or BCC" option is missing. I have looked carefully on the Thunderbird support pages, the web, and in the config editor and have not be able to fix this. Any hints on how to restore these missing search fields would be appreciated.

On the chat tab, all I can see is a list of the 50+ alphabetized facebook contacts that are currently online (no DPs either, btw), and then the 500+ that are not. In using the search bar to find a specific contact, the results do not include facebook messenger contacts (only my email contacts). When I close TB, all previous conversations disappear so that when I return, I have to hunt down that contact in the list again and it *sometimes* still has the previous convo I had via TB. I've searched around the add-ons and help forums but can't find a fix for this. Please advise, thanks in advance!

I have a gmail account, my emails do come in, I check them right away, all looks normal but then a few hours later or sometimes maybe a day later, those same emails "disappear".

This particular account worked fine last week but today when I turned my computer on I can't get email from that account. The other 5 I have in Thunderbird work fine. I had a similar problem when I first set up accounts on this particular server in that the 2nd imap account I established had exactly this behavior. I changed it to pop3 and it worked. Now the 1st account won't work properly with imap but the pop3 one still works. What is going on?
