See 7a70ec71-3686-4468-8647-4d6da0240727. This seems to be a recent and persistent issue. I've rebuilt the global index and several mailboxes. Activity Manager shows a real drop in the performance of indexing a mailbox (it gets slower and slower), eventually resulting in a crash.

Side note: the message "Indexing {X} of {Y} messages in {folder_name}..." would be infinitely more helpful if the message also mentioned which account that folder was in.

About two days ago (july 23, 2024), Thunderdbird could no longer connect to GMail without any changes from my side AFAIK. I'm getting a window saying "Enter credentials" with a Next button that results in a 404 error (see images). Does anybody know what went wrong here?

Reagrds, John

I'm using Thunderbird version 115.12.2 on Mac Sonoma 14.5. Every once and a while, when Thunderbird crashes (unfortunately frequent, because of the numbers of folders and emails), my unified folder suddenly contains *all* of my folders, rather than just the 2 inboxes from my 2 different accounts, which is what I want and what I set up when I configured unified.

When I go into properties --> "select the folders to search" it allows me to uncheck 1 folder at a time. BUT I have 1,931 folders !

Is there a way to uncheck all folders in "select the folders to search" and then I can just check inbox in each of my 2 accounts?

Hi,

I have been using Thunderbird happily for a long time, most recently version 115.13.0 on my Ubuntu 22.04 partition. Recently I installed Ubuntu 24.04 on another partition, including Thunderbird 128.0esr, now installed as a snap package (it's a recent change in Ubuntu; instead of apt package previously).

The new Thunderbird correctly reads my emails (imap) but it cannot send emails, save drafts or mark emails as read on the server. So I have Thunderbird 115 on the old partition working perfectly, but Thunderbird 128 not working on the same GMail account (I also have the same problem with another non-GMail account). I checked the smtp settings carefully, they are identical between the two versions.

It's possible I made a mistake, but I'm at a loss about what is wrong. How can I diagnose and solve this problem?

(I know that I could reinstall Thunderbird with the apt package, but I assume that the snap package should work too and I would like to understand the cause)

I'd be grateful for any advice

Hey guys, the client I work for provided my with MS account to be used for communication. Since I am on Linux, these two things doesn't really bond well :) I was using mostly web access for MS Teams and Outlook OWA ...

However, I figured that I would love to try Thunderbird for at least emails (so I got them all my email at one place)...

After some discussion with client's ITHD (after they changed my license to E3 type) I managed to get the email working - so I can send and receive emails ... However, I cannot see the calendar so it's still almost useless for me for I don't see meeting request.

Any idea how to fix that? did any of you guys face the same?

I need a sync of my addressbook on 2 computers, which I realize today with the the add-on "addressbook-synchronizer" and this is working really good! I'm working on PCs with Win10, and I use TB 102 with POP3 accounts. I would like the way Firefox is doing the sync, but I have not yet seen it in Thunderbird!

Are there prospects for the future to solve my problem??

Best regards Karl

Hello, my friend has a problem because he deleted the Thunderbird Pop 3 account from his computer. It contained all his company emails that are not on the server.

So suddenly the entire company doesn't have access to them.

Is there any possibility of recovering such a deleted account? I have already looked everywhere... Is there any way to recover this account on the computer?

Then he could create such an account again and transfer all e-mails to the server and then configure imap. Is there any possibility?

I click answer I get white text on white. I cannot read this text and I am not sure if the receiver can.

Why does this happen, what are the steps to prevent this. Why is Thunderbird doing this?

Recently changed email servers. Under account actions selected "Remove Account" so it wouldn't reach out to the old ISP. Thought I had checked "Remove Account Information", but not Remove Message Data". Entire account disappeared. I've read the emails are still in a profile. How can I recover lost emails?

Earlier this evening, I restarted my Mac computer, and inexplicably found that all of my email sub-folders had mysteriously disappeared. I spent hours attempting to recover five years worth of data through online means, with absolutely no success. I eventually made a donation to Mozilla in order to hopefully reinstall this program in a desperate attempt recover all of these files, but have still made no progress. Please, please help me to recover this information. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

So I have Thunderbird 128.0esr (64-bit) installed on Ubuntu 24; I have found a strange issue when I try to send emails with attachments. In this scenario, I scan files in from my scanner to a network folder, and then copy that file from the network folder to a final location, where I chose from Thunderbird to "attach"

If Thunderbird has been opened prior to the document being scanned and created in the first network folder, if I try to attach it to a email, it does, however, when I try to send I get a error "I do not have permission to access that file"; Strange. I close out Thunderbird, re-open, and try to send the file again, and BOOM, no issues with file permissions. I have replicated this many times.

Any ideas? I have tried running "thunderbird" in console to see if any debug information shows up, it does not. And yes, "closing the program and reopening it all-things-equal" always fixes the problem.

I have tried repeatedly to delete certain local folders but either they won't delete or just come back after restart

I have even gone into the file explorer under the profile-mail-local folder's and done the deletes but still they come back

What am I missing?

Need procedure to up date email that has been transferred to Yahoo from Cox.net Cox stated I can keep my email address and emails will come in through Yahoo. I do not have a Yahoo account which is separate from the Cox.net email address

Need procedure to keep Thunderbird as email contact for emails. Confused!! Please define how to get back to original system of using Thunderbird and automatically open up my emails. Thx

Hi All, I'm using Thunderbird to manage Apple and Outlook emails. When I logged in this morning all my folders under the apple ID have disappeared. They still exist in webmail but not in the program. Cant work how to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Andrew

Using Thunderbird 115.13.0 Not able to send emails. Can receive. I am in Canada. Get incoming email from Mail System (NOT MY ISP)

Login from Country: US United States
Please use this url to enable SMTP sending for the new ip address

If you were not sending from this address then change your password IMMEDIATELY as it is known to a hacker g_safe_smtp: Login attempt from unknown address (23.227.149.3) user=wsilvera@uniserve.com. Open this link in your browser to enable logins: http://mx0.uniserve.com/vfy?f=87c21422

My ISP says this is a Thunderbird issue, and they cannot help. Warren
