Running Win10 and the latest download of TB. Over the past week it is taking many seconds ainwrunwa >10 to delete say 10 emails. Longer lists (I receive a lot of unwanted email) take even longer. I also get an error asking me to stop or continue to let a script run. TB also sometimes does not respond to a click to open an email from the inbox.If I re-click too many times the Window with TB freezes and I have to kill the process. I've downloaded and re-downloaded the latest version but nothing is working. I don't believe there have been any changes to Windows in this time period. Wnat could be causing this?

How do I stop Thunderbird tabs from reopening?

Thunderbird 52.9.1 (32 bit) on a Win 7 machine. Each time Thunderbird is restarted, the same two add-on tabs open up, offering to install Smiley Fixer and Import/Export Tools. Those add-ons are installed and working, so their tabs are no longer needed and it is desired that the tabs go away and not come back again.
The problem: If you close those tabs and restart TB, they come back. If you shut down TB without closing those tabs, two more copies of those same tabs are added to the existing ones each shutdown, until the tab bar is crammed with them.
So far, these things have been tried: -- Setting mail.tabs.autoHide to TRUE (add-on notifications still pop up) -- renaming session.json, prefs.js, xulstore.json, -- restarting the computer -- various combinations of the above.

System: Windows 10 1803. Default language for system: en-US Regional settings for system: fr-FR Regional settings for user: fr-FR
The "date" fields are displayed using the en-US format (short date: mm/dd/yyyyy) although the system and user formats are yyyy-MM-dd. The add-on ConfigDate shows the proper format in its configuration options.
Same kind of issue with the time: the format is not the one configured for the system.
How can I set TB to show only messages without a last replay from me?
How can I toggle mail list to show only unreplied messages? I want to find out if I have a conversation which remained without a last replay from me.
How can I change Correspondents column to show only right-arrow?
Is really tiring my eyes to figure out if the message is a reply or a received. I want to display only -> arrow. Thanks!
Lost subfiles; cannot understand directions on email help. HELP
All of Mozilla Thunderbird disappeared. Able to get Thunderbird email back, but my subfolders with saved information have not returned. What should I do?
I cannot see e-mails from one particular sender. I was able to until this morning then I remember that by error the system inserted a circle cross (banned).

Before the problem started I remember that the system inserted a corssed circle sign (banned) next to the name but don't know how it happen. I can only see the messages when I do a search for them so I know they are there. When I put the sender's name in the quick filter it tells me the number of messages I have but I cannot see them.

When I compose an email and click to add a link, the link box has a pulldown that suggests earlier links. I'd like to clear it out.
In case it's relevant, here's why: it seems to have reached some kind of maximum, where it doesn't take in new information. It will suggest filling in with a link I used two years ago. But a link that I more recently started to use with some frequency doesn't get remembered. I have to go look it up and paste it in every time.
I'd like to clear those link suggestions without clearing Tbird's entire cache. Is there a way for me to do that?

I have been searching for important information from past emails, but as of a couple of weeks ago, my inbox only shows emails from the past month. The information I need is from at most a year ago, but I can't locate the emails in my archive or in the trash folder. I know for a fact that neither I nor anyone else in the office deleted them. What can I do to show emails from over a month ago?

Checking to what e-mails I'd sent today I found that the last one was dated 2011. I'm not aware of doing anything which could affect the program or its setup (like new AV software). E-mails have actually been sent successfully since I noticed the problem but do not appear in the sent folder
- there's no filter set on the SENT mailbox - when I try to repair the folder I get an Alert "The operation failed because another operation is using the folder. Please wait for that operation to finish and then try again" - waited a long time with no change - closed Thunderbird then re-opened. Same Alert message - rebooted PC & tried repair again. Same Alert - copied the whole Thunderbird folder & saved it - uninstalled Thunderbird then renamed profile folder [user name]\Appdata\local\Thunderbird to keep safe - reinstalled Thunderbird and set up accounts anew pointing to the folders holding e-mails on D: drive - first 2 accounts are fine (there never was a problem with these) - third account - the one with problems - still shows no e-mails after 2011 & Repair Folder get the same Alert as above
I've run out of ideas. Windows 10 Pro up to date software & firmware Thunderbird 60.0 now installed
Getting email addresses accepted into my inbox rather than junk is hit and miss

I have forgotten how, but in the past I set my inbox to "exclusive" so it only accepts emails from senders that are in my address book. (Seems that option is no longer available? Can't find it in settings - it was not done through filtering rules.) So when I get mail from others it goes into the junk folder, as it should. If I want to route a sender directly to my inbox for future incoming emails I click on the white star next to the sender's email address to add them to my address book. But I find that this does not work consistently - sometimes the next email from that person still goes to junk.
I see I have three address books for some reason: personal address book, contacts, and collected addresses. Does the address entry have to go specifically into one of those for their emails to be recognized and automatically sent to my inbox? Clicking on that star seems to send them to "personal address book". Any suggestions or fixes?

Running IMAP - was running version 52 and now version 60.0 beta - same problem.
I have four AOL email accounts all set the same way, and only one is having an issue synching with the AOL server.
The error message Thunderbird generates reads the same for each sub folder it attempts to open on the server.
Thinking that one of my folders on my desktop was corrupted, I deleted the account and folders and re-created it.
Same problem as previously described.
It almost seems like the client is requesting an open/create with a syntax error or there is an indexing error, or a folder on the server that had been clobbered somehow. AOL is no help, won't refer to second line support.

I never signed up for mailchimp, and why all of a sudden it does not allow me to see sites that I trust and want to see when I click on a link from thunderbird? This just started yesterday, and simple links that are from sites I recognize and want to go to do not come up on my computer. Instead, I get the following message:
"Request Blocked. We had to block your request because of something that looked suspicious. Please reach out to support: help@mailchimp.com
Reference Number: 00.ca2bf648.1534341346.56f15a6d"
I have searched in TB account settings and can find no reference to mailchimp, and have searched my PC and do not have a program called mailchimp!
This is interfering with my use of TB!

I have had his problem repeatedly. It is very frustrating because I think and type quickly. The words don't download properly either. I tried to switch to Outlook but with that programme too many mails are redirected to the Spam box. So I came back to Thunderbird. Any suggestions on how I can fix the problem. Rebooting on its own doesn't help.
