I've got two inboxes: x@domain1.com and y@domain2.com.

y@domain2.com receives emails from multiple domains in it's inbox, and I use inbox folders + Message Filters to easily view the inbox for each domain in a folder each.

x@domain1.com is an older account with just one email address attached to it. I want to delete this inbox after migrating all of it's inbox to y@domain2.com. I thought it'd be possible just by cutting and pasting the MBOX file of x@domain1.com into y@domain2.com's MBOX, but those emails didn't show in the y@domain2.com's inbox.

How can I accomplish this?

We have a number of medical services (chiros, physios, optometrists etc) who all use the same platform to run their appointment booking tasks. For all of these, any email coming from them comes from the same email address, that of the platform viz: <notifications@janeapp.com>

I have previously added this to my contacts, using the contact name Damini Physio.

Today I received an email where the From: header in the actual email source is Okanagan Vision Therapy <notifications@janeapp.com>

But it displays in Thunderbird as being From Damini Physio. I have noticed this happening with all the other clinics that use the same platform - they all show in my Thunderbird as being from Damini despite having the correct identification encoded in the email From header.

Is there some way I can fix this so that Thunderbird shows the correct source of the email? ie that it gives preference to the name encoded in the email rather than looking up the contact name for that email address?

Thanks

Hi This morning, when I wasn't at the computer, my emails suddenly all changed! To explain, I keep my emails in date order with the latest received emails at the bottom of the list. When I came back to the computer, 5 unconnected emails from different recipients had all 'threaded' under one email recipient - they are all from dates in September, October and November now listed in the middle of todays received emails. Using the help topic 'Ignoring Threads' didn't help, as when I clicked on the View menu I only have submenus - Toolbars/Layout/Folders - no Threads menu. If I right click on any of the messages, clicking on either Ignore Thread or Ignore Subthread, makes no difference. I have done an Alt Print Screen, but can't save that as a .jpeg in order to attach it - is there some other way I can send a copy? Thanks in advance for your help! Sue Minns

Hello all, I have read some threads about gmail "all mail" folder and I need a bit of clarification. Now my "All mail" is populated by about 140.000+ messages and is consuming 250MB of disk space. I managed to create filters that MOVE automatically messages from INBOX to a local folder. But even if the filters work, the message is ALSO in the "All mail" folder. So, after checking that the messages are in the correct Local folder, I delete manually the same messages in the "All mail" folder to free some space on my computer HD. This works but it's really time consuming. What happens if I unsubscribe from the "all mail" folder? Will I get back 250BG of free HD space? Or not? TIA Tony

Thunderbird optioned for automatic compacting would once in a great while compact folders when I try deleting messages. Now it's trying to compact folders every time I delete a message the first time I open thunderbird v115.8.1 32 bit. If I manually select TRASH folder to compact it says 1.2GB saved every time I try to compact it. Compact 5 times it will say 1.2GB saved every time. It seems to me it is not removing the deleted items. What to do?

What has happened to my user interface? Two days ago my list of emails was on the left, my reading pane beside that on the right. Now I have a full page reading pane, and the email list is in a header bar across the top below the menu bar, with tiny little tabs that describe nothing. My view is set at classic [don't recall ever touching view options], but all the options are greyed out, so that I cannot alter anything. My folders have disappeared as well! Why can't things just be left alone? I don't need a heap of convoluted functions, just a basic mail system.

As of December 1st 2023, one of my gmail accounts in thunderbird stopped working. Every time I check messages, I get the Oauth prompts to allow thunderbird access to the gmail account, I click through without error messages, and I can see the rights were granted to Thunderbird in my account, but Thunderbird is unable to connect. If I check saved passwords, I see it has not saved an OAuth password.

Things I have done: (1) Verified everything in this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20 (2) Verified that IMAP was enabled on the gmail account (3) Checked the settings against my other gmail accounts which are all working, I don't see any difference. (And this account was working up until December 1st, along with all my other ones which are still working)

Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

I am searching for a solution for my problem and maybe this is a possible new feature that would help many users. When I open my thunderbird, all attachements open in a new tab, easy and very usefull because of the invoices i need to pay are always open, and when paid i save+ close them. But then i have to send the invoice attachement to my accountant. So i have to go to the original mail AGAIN forward this mail to the accountant etc.....It would be easy if there was a little button in the open attachement tab that directly opens a new sendmail tab with the open attachement already included in the concept.....Maybe i didn't searched very well....BTW I love thunderbird and install it @ all my customers sites instead of MSOutlook, plugins are fine an email reading is once set up correctly the most easy to read interface. the attachement tab is displaying an url like : imap://my%40mail%2Ecom@imap.mailserver.com:993/fetch%3EUID%3E.INBOX.xxxx%3E128?part=1.2&filename=20210446.pdf&type=application/pdf. I can not even get that by a right click+ sent to email to work.....Yup I'm Belgium and dutch......so i hope i made my idea clear by not using the translate apps and just my brain......:)

Version 115.4.3 seems to have eliminated the Mail Toolbar altogether. The “Unified Toolbar” support page at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unified-toolbar refers to a “Tabs Bar” which is not part of the standard Thunderbird vocabulary (there is a “Tab Strip” at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-customize-toolbars#w_how-do-i-sh.... If you keep changing the toolbars and the vocabulary, you are going to confuse everyone, including yourselves. Now the user cannot customize the Menu Bar (or the Unified Toolbar), so the main buttons on the Mail Toolbar (Get Messages, Write, Chat, Tag, QuickFilter, Address Book etc.) are just not there. There is also no visible way to display the Mail Toolbar. It seems that in their desperate indecision as to whether the Menu Bar or the Mail Toolbar should be on top, the developers of Thunderbird decided to eliminate the Mail Toolbar altogether. What an unfortunate decision. Give us back our Mail Toolbar!'

Thunderbird no longer reflects the IMAP structure of Google Mail.

The latest version of Thunderbird, appears to lose the previous structure un an IMAP tabe and mixes Sent and other folders within a Gmail Email account that is connected to Google mail via an IMAP account.

Searching on the Internet, most replies say to back level to Thunderbird v 102 as version 115 has this change. Is there an intention to correct/remove this annoying change in a later release?
