Thunderbird Support Forum

I am trying to do a mass mailing in Thunderbird to about 2015 libraries, with another one to come. I followed all the instructions carefully and generated all the messages and they went into my outbox, with a "send later" command. Then this morning I entered the command to empty the outbox. I immediately began getting an error message that I could only send 50 messages an hour. Feeling like the sorcerer's apprentice, I closed thunderbird, whcih stopped the bleeding. Now I have 1350 messages in the outbox which thunderbird did not try to send.

Fixing up this mess is going to be complicated, particularly with respect to the messages it did try and fail to send (about 750 of them.) But I could make some real progress if I could figure out how to send 50 of the unset messages at a time from the outbox. I have the first 50 out of the 1350 selected right now, but I can't figure out how to get them sent. HELP! Thanks in advance.

Good Day,

For the last few weeks, when using Thunderbird on Windows and writing a draft email, when clicking on the button to create a link, the draft email window freezes. This also happens if I use the menu bar Insert -> Links...

All other Thunderbird windows remain functioning, and I can effectively continue working, but the frozen draft window will remain on screen until closed through Task Manager.

This only happens when creating a Link, not inserting other objects, like an Image. This problem also does not happen with Thunderbird on Ubuntu.

I am running version 115.10.1.

Thanks in advance for any tips that could be of help.

Using Thunderbird on Linux I cannot delete any local folders, when I try to delete them I get more copies of the folders on reopening Thunderbird, after the system says it is "not responding" and I close it down. I have tried several times and now have multiple copies of the local folders I've tried to delete.

I sent an email with multiple BCCs and no CCs or TOs, I put myself as one of the BCCs.

I did not receive it and I do not think anybody else did as well since I asked a few people.

The email is in the sent folder. I tried forwarding the email from my sent folder to myself as CC, and that worked. I also tried fowarding as BCC, and that worked.

So what is going on? Is BCC working? How can I know for certain? Do I need to foward the email as BCCs to all my BCCs to get this to work?

Thanks for your help.

my wfie sends me windows outlook emails with files that read .eml at the end of the attachment linux 115.0.105 and thunderbird latest, it then reads what should thunderbird do with this file? If i click open with (it defaults to kmail view (default)) if i click on the arrow down i get other, if click on other, I get: celluloid, mpv media player, libreoffice, none of which will open the attachment.

For marital happiness, what do i do? I have tried to stay away from k-whatever. Thank you...b³

I am using Thunderbird and have a Lnux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon operating system. Recently I started using Surfshark vpn, which has blocked the port 587, making it impossible to send e-mails. I have tried using ports 465 and 2525 but without sucess, and apparently it is not possible to set up a split tunnel for Thunderbird. Do you know of any way I can get around this problem?

Since the latest version line spacing is cramped and none of the suggested solutions work. I am having to type my emails in word and then paste them into Thunderbird. This is time-consuming and annoying. How do I get readable line spacing?

when i open the message Todd sent i get this and i do not know why see attachment how do i stop this from happening I do not understand what is going on with my thunderbord

I created a signature years ago. With the last Thunderbird update, the signature font (and image) shrunk in size. I would like the signature to match the font size of the message text, like it used to. I can't find any information about that, or any explanation as to why it shrunk.

I am trying to clean up my inbox. I have come to the realization that there are two kinds of junk mail:

    * SPAM - unsolicited email I never asked for 
    * JUNK - newsletters that I subscribed to but don't want to keep past 30 days or so

I want the spam mails gone immediately but the junk emails that are newsletters I actually subscribe to I want them to have a limited lifetime so that they are deleted after 30 days or so. 

Is there a way to do this in Thunderbird?

If not could this functionality possibly be implemented in future versions?

Searching, nowhere to enter data; I cannot see attachments, looses mail, I have neuromuscular disease, hard to drag; context text EXTREMELY small. I think you all should create a TEXT BOOK [phone book size] on how to use. thanx!

Hi, Left post outlining TBird 115.x issues but I am the issue for the 'search' woes. The upper section simply needed to be shrunk - became a 2-headed arrow [when I figured it out.] Wonder whether other problems are also blatantly simply.

With Windows11 and Thunderbird 115.10.1, I am suddenly unable to send emails. It has been fine up until a few days ago and as far as I am aware, nothing has been changed.

I've gone into "sort-by" and tried enabling threading. I've tried checking the unthreaded box. Group job related email still just disappears. I can't find received group email in the trash or in the junk. I can't find any evidence in Thunderbird that the group email was received. If I go to a different email tool, there it is. Thunderbird is broken. If I scroll back in time and accidentally scroll past the date of the first group email, there it is. I can't be spending all day scrolling through months to years worth of email just to find out I got a group email from someone today. This is totally unreliable way to find an urgent work email.

In a recent email Thunderbird sees an HTML message as plain text, and does not decode it. The message is decoded by my phone using "Email - Fast & Secure Mail by Edison Software". See attached screenshot. Normally Thunderbird suceeds where phone apps fail.

All other HTML messages seem OK

Urgent Help Please as lost ALL EMAILS - I cannot get to post in Thunderbird: 1) I've now spent 4 hours, (from what was trying to sort a 'simple' problem on the server), as I couldn't send or receive any emails, as they think I've 6.5Gb of data on it, in spite of my deleting all my emails off it. So they allowed some extra space to temp sort it again. It's been an issue for about 3mths now. But I deleted everything just the other day having confirmed that was not deleting them off my laptop and that the previously lost emails 2 yrs ago weren't still on their server.

But now checked back on my email client Thunderbird, and I've no emails. They're all GONE bar the odd few I've put into folders (I stopped using folders years back as that lost all my emails way back then!), so I'd been keeping them all in the Inbox. Although I've a few old Inbox files with previous old old emails in so I can access them if I need to. But at least their there! But now again I've just lost everything. This is such a disaster.

Over the last 2yrs it's been going OK until today. Now it's LOST ALL MY EMAILS. I'm as per usual up to my eyes and have to travel this friday for meetings next week. The last thing I needed today was this. I've lost so much data and info in those emails it's doesn't bare thinking about. From show tickets that I need, medical info and data, to flight details to all sorts of crucial data. My ONLY saving grace is that anything I've replied to, I have a copy in the sent folder.

So Please Forgive this being in Firefox, as I can't even add it to Thunderbird help area!! I've had to reset my pw too just to sign in. Sadly right now it all feels so very upsetting I'm thinking I'll have to just have to start using another email client! If every 2 yrs I lose all my emails then this is just not acceptable. I hope you can move this to the Thunderbird threads. If you do please send me a link to it so I can try and find it.

What's so upsetting is had I saved the Inbox file when I saw the 13Gb file size, a bit eariler then, I think I could have saved them. I fear though that the remote server people deleted something, that was somehow still linked to my system and that's meant they've deleted my emails off my laptop too! Terrifying! (Perhaps that is what happened before back in '22. ???) I did look at a 'Sync' settings but not sure what they did so cancelled back out of them.

Running on Win 10 Pro 64Bit i7core 8Gb Ram Thunderbird 115.10.1 (64-bit)

Any and all help will be most gratefully received.

Sub issue to get help : 2) Error to Sumbit to Thunderbird: Sadly I've gone around and around your system saying Ask Question when nothing answers my query on the Thunderbird email questions. But when you click on Ask Question it just takes you back around the system again / Browse all Programs / re click on thunderbird/ reclick on Emails and back to list of FAQ's but nothing helps so click on Get Help and back around you go in a deja vu system.
