Thunderbird Support Forum

Hi,

I hope you are doing well. I am completely blind. I've been facing a problem with thunderbird. Whenever I try to sign into gmail, it says unable to log in, probably wrong configuration, username and password: This is in spite of the fact that I've used my correct password multiple times, I did a double check by signing in and out on the web multiple times to confirm. My email is muhammed3198@gmail.com I also checked my settings to see if imap was enabled, which it is. Please help and fix this issue as urgently as possible. I even selected configure manually to see if all the configuration settings were correct, and they seem to be, like the ports, the incoming and outcoming settings, etc. Please help. Best regards, Muhammad.

115.2.0 and I am no longer able to receive emails from my outlook.office365.com account. I can send out to other address but can not receive emails from the outlook 365 account. This was working before the version update. Suggestions please.

nubi Linux 22.04 LTS. 1st time install TBird 115 appears success server setup; however the Verify fails with timeout circle running forevever. See attached screenshot.

The latest version of thunderbird 115.3.0 (54-bit) has rearranged my folders, and the junkmail folders for all my email addresses no longer exists. This is very alarming, but what is worse is that the trash folder for some email addresses no longer exists, which means as soon as I delete an email it is permenently gone. And some of my email addresses no longer have a 'sent' folder which means that after I have sent an email, there is no record of the email after it is sent. This is very concerning.

There is folder called 'junk' which should have 100s of emails in it, but it say there are only 17, When I select it, there are no emails there. The 'Drafts' folder only has some of my email addresses.

I would post a screenshot, but it would reveal all my email addresses.

The more I am looking into solving this the more I have discovered that thousands of my emails have disappeared. Especially those I have sent. I am devistated. These are my records.

How can I roll back to when thunderbird was reliable, and is there any way of salvaging this catastophe? And how can I trust thunderbird again, which was at one time most reliable?

I have tried the following advice I sought on bing:

To restore the Junk folder, you can go to Tools > Options > Security > Junk and check the box that says “Move new junk messages to”. Then, select “Other” and choose the Junk folder from the list. This will enable the Junk folder again and move any spam messages there. You can also right-click on any message and mark it as junk or not junk to train the filter. FAILED - IT HAS NOT RESTORED THE JUNK FOLDER

To restore the Sent folder, you can go to Tools > Account Settings > Copies & Folders and check the box that says “Place a copy in”. Then, select “Other” and choose the Sent folder from the list. This will enable the Sent folder again and save a copy of any messages you send there. You can also drag and drop any messages from your local folders to the Sent folder if you want to move them. LIMITED SUCCESS - 2 SENT FOLDERS HAVE BEEN RESTORED. Several have not been able to be restored using this method.

Another annoying change: It has put the 'File, Edit, View, Go, Message, etc' Tool bar under the 'Get Messages, Write, Reply etc" Tool bar. They should be the other way round.

I really hope all this can be solved.

hello, i've been installing latest thunderbird 115 and i've noticed that "run filter on folder" it not available anymore? it's removed or just moved somewhere else? because sometimes my yahoo mail account can't run message automatically so i have to click that function to properly filter messages on inbox folder.

I want to try out v115, but I'm quite sure it doesn't support the themes/plugins I'm used to (Darko, Mailbox Alert, Manually sort folders, tbkeys-lite).

Before I download and try v115, are there any things I need to perform so that it doesn't overwrite v102 to work alongside, until I know the new version suits my needs?

I couldn't find anything on this "try out", but I suppose it should be possible - you may want to add this to the blog post because I bet many people want to see it in action but are afraid to make their currently stable mail workflow break.

Comment: I don't think Thuderbird was ready for this Edition/Version/Transition.

Question: I have several Email Addresses/Accounts. When Thunderbird updated their Software, only a few of my Email Addresses now show under "Inbox". How do I get the other Email Addresses under that Folder/Header? I used to have an Add-on>Manually sort folders but that Add-on was disabled with the Thunderbird Update and is no longer compatible.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

a few days ago I switched to the new version 115 and I find it very nice. In my daily work, I use View > Folders > Unread Folders most often.

If I now open unread mails in a folder, the folder is actually no longer an "unread folder". In the "old" version of Thunderbird, folders were refreshed at irregular intervals and folders were automatically hidden when there were no more new mails to read.

This no longer happens with 115. Here the read folders remain visible all day or until I manually select View > Folders > Unread Folders again.

I would therefore be very pleased if this old function were possible again.

Thank you and best regards from Berlin Florian

Hi Team, I download the latest update i.e. 115 for the official web site but new ui isn't reflecting. please help. I loved the new UI Supernova but even after installing the latest version I am not able to use it. it is still showing the email in the old way.

Unified folders got confused after 115 update. I have several problems with folders from several mailboxes not showing in their respective category. For example, inbox that doesn't show in "inbox" category, Junk folder not in "junk" category, and so on. I think all of them are caused by thunderbird not being able to recognize the kind of each folder in different mailboxes, because of different providers and their settings. I have accounts in major providers such as Google and Yahoo, but also have several independent (i.e. business or work) accounts. One of the most striking example of this trouble is one university account that has all it's folders (sent, junk etc) organized under it's inbox. This was showing ok in the previous versions (junk was "junk" category) but now I get all folders (as subfolders) in the "inbox" category, under the account's name.

I attach screenshot from unified inbox. Note that the inbox from one account is missing and in another account all folders are under inbox.

Hi Community, i wanted to ask wether it normal that Thunderbird 115 needs 60 seconds to load the interface? When it starts it shows my personalised theme and an empty space for a whole minute. (i measured it)

Directly after installation everything was fine. But now i have set up my acconts and rearranged some buttons. Is there maybe a problem with Exchange synchronisation on startup? Both of my accounts are provided by Exchange servers.

Greetings ffproblems

I now have two issues, one is that on my IMAP accounts with my own domain, both the recent sent and recent received emails in a thread are showing up twice. This doesn't happen with previous emails in that thread or with gmail, exchange, outlook.com, live.com, icloud, etc.... Now, I have an issue where the pop ups for calendar notifications keep popping up non stop and either won't go away by hitting "Submit to changes anyway" or if they do go away, they immediately pop back up again. 115 is a big disapointment for me, it's been highly glitchy, many add ons no longer, some that should work, don't work properly, it was hyped a major upgrade and I see very little that distinguishes if from 102 in any meaningful way except some of the icons are more colorful. Is there a way to go back to 102? Either that or I may start using Mac Mail again due to all these bugs.

Hi,

since I switched to the new version of TB, some of my mails are empty in the preview (just a white screen) and also if I open them normally. Same mails are working fine with other mail-clients (iOS) or the standard version of TB.

Any idea to fix that?

BR, Robert

Hi,

Just installed this seeing how it's hyped in the news and as soon as I started it I noticed it completely ignores my window decorations and shows some "grey" hardly visible "decorations" and "buttons" if we can call them that.

Find attached a couple of screenshots to show what I mean: One if the Mailspring clients with the proper window decorations, very clear and crisp while in focus. The other is Thunderbird Supernova, control buttons small and hardly visible if you don't have good eyes. Do not the windows IS IN FOCUS despite appearances.

Env: Fedora 36 x64, MATE desktop environment.

Any way to sort this?

What is going on with the new TB client? I now have no access to my Sent mail. Nothing showing in Unified Sent mail and no more access to individual account sent folders. Major mistake upgrading. To elaborate, the Unified Send folder has never displayed sent messages and this is a known issue in bugzilla. But we have had the option to expand this folder to show the individual send folders in order to view sent messages. Now, there is no way to expand this folder, so the only way to view sent messages is to choose All Folders from Folders Mode. This defeats the purpose of Unified Folders. It's a step backwards. If there are no plans to address the Unified Send folder, then why was the option to expand it removed. Makes no sense.

Hi, I have Thunderbird 115 on a Linux Manjaro installation with several email accounts. Everything worked just fine until my last working day. I came back today, Manjaro did a general update including Thunderbird (to 115.2.0-3) and now I have an issue with it. The "message list pane" is not showing any messages in neither account. Synchonisation is fine. The number of read/unread messages in the folder pane changes automatically when I do something in the webmail (e.g., Gmail). In addition, I can search for any messages in the general search, including the ones just sent/received. (But if I search for messages, I get the message "msgWindow.domWindow.gMessageDisplay is undefined" in the status bar.) Filter is not working though. I have already checked if I have accidentally selected any filter feature that conceals all messages. It doesn't seem to be the case. I have also checked in the Manjaro forum and it doesn't look anyone has had issues with it, so it doesn't seem to be a global problem.

Could anyone help me in this? Thanks!

Thunderbird has suddenly decided that it will split the header and sender information of an email from the text message which means that if I try to print the whole message the header and sender information appears on the first page and the rest of the body of the text is on the following pages even if the message is only one page long.

The message appears correctly when I view it it's only when I go into Print Preview that the separation shows and even if I reduce the margins or remove the header it still splits the first page. The Config Editor appears to be correct in terms of the height and width of the paper being A4.

I'm not sure but I think the system was upgraded recently as this problem only started this week.

Can anyone help me?

Thunderbird recently upgraded (?) to Version 15 on my Windows 10 laptop. Since them, when I go to look at the "Trash" folder, I get the message: "Unable to open the summary file for Trash on username@gmail.com. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long." I was able to fix it temporarily by restarting Windows 10, but the error is back a few hours later.

I'm a *long-time* TB user and have recently upgraded to 115.0 (BuildID: 20230711125218) on Linux (Kubuntu 22.04.2 LTS). I have multiple accounts configured to use the unified folders inbox. When in that unified inbox, if I delete an email, it stays in the message list instead of disappearing, although the focus changes (the message entry line was highlighted in blue background with white text, and is now in black text on a gray background). The message pane shows the next message as it should. If i click on the message list entry line for the deleted email, nothing happens in the message pane (it still shows the next email), although the focus does come back to the message list entry line. This does not appear to happen when I am in the inboxes of my individual email accounts, but only happens in the unified folder. When I return to the unified folder inbox from the individual account inbox, the deleted message is gone. Thanks for any help.
