I had problems connecting with Thunderbird for 24 hours (I connect via an imap server from my Sky account). When this was rectified, email folders which I had created had disappeared. These contain historical emails which I can ill-afford to lose. How do I restore these?

Hallo, ich habe Windows 11 neu installiert, nun habe ich das Problem, das angeblich mein Mail Passwort nicht stimmt. Ich habe schon alles ausprobiert, die korrekten Passwörter von T-Online eingebeben, die Passwörter geändert, nichts hilft. Ich habe auch schon Thunderbird neu installiert, doch alles ohne Erfolg. Könntet ihr mir bitte weiterhelfen, das ich dieses wundervolle Programm wieder nutzen kann?

Hier noch mein System: i7 6700 K, WIN 11 HOME, GTX 970Grafikkarte, 500 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB Harddisk,

Danke im Voraus

Dear MZLA,

I donated to MZLA, looking forward to an "improved" Thunderbird. I am very frustrated by the result.

Downloaded and started new Thunderbird, and I have several questions:

This is a serious inquiry; I am desperate for information & help.

1. What happened to my address book? How can I get it back? A hundred or more addresses just disappeared.

2. What happened to all of my saved messages? How can I get them back? I used to have a neatly organized file of saved messages. If I was still using Tbird for my business, I would be looking for a lawyer. As it is, I am simply looking for something as useful as the old Tbird.

3. How can I save a message to a specific category or off line file? I used to have several hundred categorized files in my data base for saved messages.

4. Why does my effort to use a help request not respond to my mouse clicks? It seems to always want more donations.

5. Can I go back to the old version? It was easier to use and more straightforward.

6. What am I missing in this "new and improved" version? Is there another email application that would give me the nice features of the old Thunderbird?

7. Can I revert back to the old Tbird and recover the extensive lost addresses and saved messages?

8. If I decide the "new and improved" Tbird will not provide the features the old one did, how can I get a refund of my contribution?

Your early response will be appreciated.

Jon Wilson,

I would like to connect to Suddenlink.net via Optimum.net. It does show up on Optimum.net account on web page. I have a screen shot of the constant results of my days of efforts. I have two other connections via gmail.com and it works fine. I have people who are still using Suddenlink emails to me and I would like to see them on Thunderbird. Thanks for the fine software and any help with this. //... Joe

Just Updated to Thunderbird 128.1: Now I Cannot Sort/Move Recipients from TO: to CC: / BCC: and Back on A-Previous Sent (Now New to-be Updated) New Email.... Can I Rollback to Previous 128.0 Version????

Hi, After migrating email server, I am having problems synchronizing some IMAP accounts, but Thunderbird is unable to organize the emails and it corrupts the display. In Webmail it is normal and I have no problems accessing it. Coincidence or not, but the emails that are causing this problem are emails that have more than 80Gb. What I did to see if it would improve, was to divide the emails into folders by year, to reduce the size of the email occupancy, but it didn't work. At first, right when I implemented it, they asked to modify this configuration:

Edit → Preferences → Advanced → General → Configuration Editor. Follow the procedure: Locate a key called: mailnews.customDBHeaders Change it to: Received After that restart the application --> Right click on the folder and go to Properties --> Repair Folder

This worked for a few days, but then it started having problems and even repairing the folder, but it didn't help. What they told me was an issue with Thunderbird reading email data on their server, but the problem continued. They kind of "washed" their hands, since it's ok on their server and asked to test it on another email client. Has anyone experienced this problem? Attached is an image of what the email looks like, there are several with the data that I asked to repair, but empty. I've already updated to the latest version of Thunderbird, but it's still like this.

my head is spinning with trying to understand. i changed the authentication to oauth2 but can't seem to find out whats wrong and my dislexia is making it so hard to figure out.

I had all files downloaded from my old PC to an external harddrive and uploaded to a new PC. My Thunderbird account does not appear on the new one. How do I correct this?

Thanks for any help with this.

The latest rev is VERY slow (several seconds) compared to prior revs to process email changes within INBOX (OPEN, MOVE, DELETE, etc.)

Something new is going on internally to the program while the hour-glass appears for a few seconds more than before (I did not change any settings w/ latest upgrades).

Already a voluntary donor and satisfied Thunderbird user then I suddenly lost many of my folders and could not recover them, asked for support but got none; nobody interested! As a non-techy older person I expect help when necessary so this has been a sobering event, making me question my continued presence here; very disappointed. John

I'm running Thunderbird 128.2.0esr (64-bit) to download email messages from https://outlook.live.com using POP3.

I've been trying for weeks to switch Thunderbird from normal password to OAuth2 before outlook stops allowing normal password access to their server on September 16. But when I do that Thunderbird just stalls and doesn't download any messages. But if I switch back to normal password, then messages resume downloading.

I've uploaded a screenshot of my server settings.

A few updates ago in the Polish version of Thunderbird in the drop-down menu of the "inbox" ("Odebrane" in Polish) folder several shortcuts have the same letter underlined. For example, the letter W is used twice and the letter O twice. This makes it impossible to use this convenient method of handling mail.
