This morning, after subscribing some new members to my Gardenplot blog, I was unable to access my inbox which was empty and stated "No New Messages". It is very likely that during the subscription process I made a bad command. But how do I correct this? Please note that I have a second account linked to Thunderbird, namely quartzquest@gmail.com, from which this current message issues.
Many thanks for your help

I'm running Thunderbird 140.5.0esr (32-bit) on Windows 10 Pro Build 19045. After the last few updates the columns in the email listings are changing widths from what I've set them, this seems to happen after I close then reopen Thunderbird; which I'm having to do more often these days to resolve weird calendar malfunctions. For instance, the data column would appear so narrow that only the month/day show with "..." at the end, when I know I've looked at this yesterday with the full view of the date and time showing. I've reviewed my options and I've set them individually, set them globally and it makes no difference. Of course I've rebooted, etc. I have over a hundred local folders and they all change differently, of course some look the same but others don't. Most have the same column headings selected but it doesn't seem to matter. Some have the "Correspondents" column selected but many don't.
This is very irritating and I'd like to know why Thunderbird is doing this, and more importantly, how can I prevent this behavior in the future. Thanks,

I successfully imported the self-signed CA certificate into thunderbird. Then I tried to import the p12 S/MIME client certificate and this error message popped up (cf. screenshot below).
However, I checked the client certificate and it seems fine:

I have several different local calendars set up in my Thunderbird. I want to unsubscribe to a specific one. When I select "Unsubscribe from Selected Calendar" from the Events and Tasks drop down, the Calendar selected is not the one I want to subscribe from. How do I select the Calendar I want to unsubscribe from prior to selecting that menu option. I have searched through the forums and have found references to opening a Calendar tab and right clicking on the left pane to select a Calendar. When I right click on the Calendar tab, I just get the options to Open in New tab or close the current tab. I'm not understanding something and I'd appreciate any clarification on this step. I am including a screen shot that shows the Unsubscribe screen. The calendar that is selected is my Google calendar, but I don't want to unsubscribe from Google. I want to unsubscribe from a duplicate local calendar. How do I do that?
Thanks!

I have a Hotmail account and multiple gmail accounts. When I try following your (obscure) instructions for changing passwords, the box of passwords is only for my gmail accounts. None for my hotmail.
As Hotmail is very important to me, I'd like to keep accessing it through TB but you make it tough.
I am now not receiving my Hotmail mail and as I get too much traffic 200+ msgs a day, it will build. Please send simple, direct instructions on how to find and change the hotmail password, thank you.

Since loading a fresh copy of Thunderbird on a new bigger disk on my Ubuntu laptop, whenever I start it up it opens up all my email folders and sub-folders. I have lots, and it takes time to collapse them all manually. I monitor two other email accounts for a club which also have quite a few folders and sub-folders - same happens on all of them. This did happen occasionally with my old version, but happens every time now with 140.7.1esr (64-bit) running under ubuntu-snap-build - 1.0.

My TB 147.0.2 Release channel is using excessive amounts of memory. Below is the memory usage data.
Previously I was on the ESR channel for many years. Also I originally used the Lightning calendar plug.
What I'm seeing is that when TB starts the memory usage is high. If I check at another time on the same day it is sometimes only around 250-350MB.
I've tried suggest options like reducing data in Local Folders (on a separate data drive) but to no avail. As I type now TB memory usage is now only 286.4MB. However rest assured in a while this will jump back to over 3GB and it has an is now 3,151.4MB.
I don't see this on another 2 PCs. One is setup with Locals Folders and the other is just the mail Inbox and sub folders. The only other difference is that the PC with this TB installation also has one Newsgroup server configured.
There surely has to be a bug somewhere causing these excessive memory usages.

My "old" laptop (Windows 10) failed & refused to turn on ever again and it's been replaced by a new laptop (Windows 11). Long existing Email served by Mozilla Thunderbird has been loaded into new laptop but all that was loaded was about 6 current unread Emails in the Inbox and NOTHING in either Address Books (should be 30 or so in each) and NO FOLDERS (should be about 15 - 20). I own & run a business so all of this data/info is crucial but because the data currently lies within a laptop that died it appears it can't be retrieved by "normal" procedures. I need help here - lots of it.
Cheers and thank you. Pam E Victoria Australia
