Thunderbird 140.7.1 i have a subfolder called "purchases" which I add to on a regular basis. Suddenly no messages appear after May 2014 I have logged in directly to the mail server, and all the missing messages are definitely on the server. I have checked the local filters, none are set. I have tried properties/repair. I have tried removing ~/.thunderbird/xxx/ImapMail/mail.myserver.com.au/INBOX.sbd/purchases.msf

Could it be a problem with dovecot indexing on the server? all the other subfolders seem to work fine. It's just this one.

I am really in a panic: Using ubuntu 22.04 and Thunderbird 140.7.1.esr For my main account I keep some 40 sub-folders and sub-sub-folders. All but the most recent mails in my sub folders are gone, something like 4 years of email. I asked chatGPT for help and found inside the /mail folder that most of the files with the names of my sub folders with no extension have 0 kb. I don't use IMAPS because I wanted my mails on my computer so I use only POP. :-( The interesting thing is that this only happend to my main account. I have 6 more accounts in Thunderbird and they seem to be fine, at least for now. Thank you for any help. Kind regards Frank

None of your "topics" addresses my issue at all. Where is your user manual? I'm trying to figure out how your "retention" works. Also how to get a message filter to run on a specific folder daily.

Thanks, Saroj Gilbert

About 140.8 ESR. Use the internal spam filter or externals like Bogofilter or SpamAssasain? 2nd: RSS option (Blogs and Feeds) every so often downloads duplicate feeds - how to remove duplicates?? Last: Earlier versions Thunderbird can import Outlook Templates - anyone knows how??? Example: I want to send my mom a Mother's Day email with a nice background but the background does not have to be animated - how would I go about that? I have plenty of email templates from Outlook 95/XP - just not sure how to import and use.

I am trying to set up my t-online.de account on Thunderbird, so far without success. A message appears: Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account. I don't know where I am going wrong.

Currently my Thunderbird 'Sent' mailbox is only holding emails back to the beginning of 2025. However on previous PC's my Sent mail went farther back, but not I think to the beginning of when I bought the PC. I do backup my PC with some regularity but I am wondering whether there is a limit to how far back Thunderbird saves messages. I've been using Thunderbird for about 20 years and wonder whether I can retrieve some of my great emails :)

It seems like forever that I have been waiting for access to Thundermail, which I originally thought was going to be opened more broadly in January.

I have signed up for the waiting list (I think multiple times) but have not received any updates on progress. Ever.

My own email accounts are in flux, having mostly moved off of Gmail (after Google discontinued pop3 support) and Outlook (after Windows updates trashed my computer and corrupted my mail files) and tried mailbox.org, zoho, and protonmail without being completely happy with any of them. So I have been using Thunderbird but anxiously awaiting Thundermail which I was hoping would give me a stable cloud platform reachable by all of my devices.

I am happy to be an early adopter and paid user and deal with the growing pains. Is there any idea when people will be allowed to sign up?

I am having an issue sending emails from one of my email accounts. I keep getting an error when logging in.

The account email address is xxx.ca@hotmail.com. Is the .ca causing the issue? I can't seem to change the name in Outlook Exchange.

I am unable to find the Archive folder. It is not listed when I right click on the account name. All of my folders are there but not the Archive. Any one know how to deal with this?

i can't seem to copy and paste so, here goes: what i see that i send Our Blended Rates: ≤ 100,000 5.14% 100,000 to 1,000,000 4.64%

Now when i send it---it looks like this

≤ to 100,0000 5.14% 100,000 to 1,000,000 4.64%

No longer aligned. Thank you

Help setting up first email account (protonmail.com) Keep getting: "unable to login at server, ether config, or credentials" error.

Since a few days, there seems to be an italicized copy of each folder in my mailbox. I tried multiple times to delete them, but, although they seem deleted, they appear again when I start up Thunderbird. I already contacted the hosting service, but they replied that this is an issue of Thunderbird.
