Thunderbird Community Forum

Greetings

After updating to 140 (release update channel), IMAP folders keep downloading all emails in a folder, even though the vast majority of them are already local. I get the message "Downloading message x of y in folder" and it goes folder by folder, some of these folders have a lot of mail so this can take ages.

I do have a lot of folders and emails, I have tried compacting and searched for weeks, and only very old and not exactly this issue, any ideas?

Hi, I wonder if anyone has had a similar problem - since a few days I get an immediate SMTP timeout in Thunderbird for some mail servers but not all. For Outlook the same server works just fine. Version 140.0.1esr has recently been autoinstalled. It is possible that the problems started when that version was installed but I am not sure about the timing. The email provider has no explanation and claims there is no problem on its side. Also, Thunderbird has recently asked me to confirm a server certificate for receiving emails. Usually when that happens I also get asked the same question when sending emails, but this time I did not get the question for sending, I just get the timeout message.

Thanks,

Magnus

Dear Technical Support

I have problem in my email on thunderbird. my folder don't show email but in folder show data is 89mb. It's more than 5 folders have same this problem.

i repair it but Nothing happened.

How to Fixed it

Thank you

We keep getting a box with a message of put in a password to imap or something and we can't reply to emails. It works on my husband's laptop at his office but not the home computer or hhis laptop at home.

Bonjour,

Je rencontre un problème au niveau du password. En effet, sur un ordinateur thunderbird ne veut pas garder en mémoire le mot de passe que l'on renseigne en cochant la case gestionnaire alors qu'on arrive bien a s'y connecter quand on utilise nos outils internes.

Pouvez me dire si c'est un bug et comment le ressoudre svp ?

Trying to figure it out myself givr up. tracked to server settings not configured right? SMTP got this message a little while back,,,sending of the message failed. Unable to aiuthenticatrto outgoingserver(SMTP.COMCAST.NET. Please chech the passwordand verify. (don't know exactly how to do that) the authentication method in account settings/ out goingserver SMTP. 07/10/25 I have so many thingas messed up in there. I'm 79 and losing to this new technology

how much would it cost me for you wonderful people to fix it for me? can you do that?

Thanks for any information you can give me.

PS I LOVE forefox and Thunderbird. It was always easy but nowl.....

Imagine having more than 30 Accounts to be added on a single profile my concern is how will Thunderbird handles file size if it's using one file (MBOX) and if the file has no solution, can I create files and keep mails on them until they reach max size?

Hello wonderful thunderbird community, I have had issue with with disappearing emails from my sent folder. For a few months now, everytime I send an email, I can not locate it in my sent folder. I reached out to my email holst company and they advised me to check the account setting under:

Copies and Folders, 

When sending message, automatically, Place a copy in, Other, I found the sent emails were saved in a local folder on my computer.

I looking into the local folder and found several files as per the attached screenshot.

Please let me know how to move these files back to the sent folder under thunderbird.

Thanks.

I've been receiving gmail on Thunderbird for about 7 or 8 years and I really like it. For the last 3 days every message received in Inbox has been deleted whenever the message has been closed (these are messages that weren't supposed to be deleted), even when I've tagged them for future referral. Moreover, I set up a substantial list of folders and there were numerous emails saved in some of them. All the folders are now empty and I don't know why this has happened. I'm an 83-year-old non-technical person and I don't know where to start to try to fix these problems. I read some of the other questions but I didn't see any problems like mine.

I try to access my messages from an outlook.com account with Thunderbird mac. I get the error message "the STAT command did not succeed". This happened suddenly today without changing any parameter. POP is enabled on this account. Moreover on another mac with Thunderbird everything is correct with the same account. Cookies are enabled I tried changing OAuth2 to normal and changing back. No sucess. What could I try next? Thanks.

Сделала новую подпись при помощи html кода и прикрепила туда картинку с ссылкой, еще другие ссылки , при отправке сообщения внизу экрана пишется данное сообщение " Thunderbird заблокировал загрузку в это сообщение файла. Разблокирование файла включит его в отправленное вами сообщение" При этом пропадает картинка и виден только контур где она раньше была.

Можно конечно разблокировать сразу сообщение и картинка привяжется, но писем много и каждое разблокировать будет  неудобно и муторно. Можно ли как-то в настройках это убрать?

Hi: I need to import my data shown here: C:\Users\DonB\AppData\Roaming\Betterbird\t70e12zz.default\Mail\pop-mail.outlook.com so I see all my email and its folder structure.

I think Outlook.com became: outlook365.com?

Where do I change this stuff so it works?

Posting this request as my first has had no response.

I've downloaded Thunderbird, familiarized myself with it and have used the import/export tool to import my Outlook 2024 emails, contacts and folders into Thunderbird. Although the my contacts and one folder (with it's related sub-folders) were received, none of my other folders, including sent and deleted emails, arrived. I tried several times, but always get the same results. Looking at on-line advise, I've found conflicting comments about how this can, or can't be done. Also, there's an app available from Mozilla for this, but after downloading it, it doesn't execute and want's to be told which program to use to do so and nothing I select works. Can anyone tell me if it's actually possible to download all of my existing Outlook folders? If so, how is it done? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I exported a group email list from Thunderbird, edited the list (primarily by adding new names) saved the result as a csv. When I imported the list, first off I was NOT able to import the list as a separate group within my personal address book which was really annoying. I found another thread at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1498090 where someone was having the same problem. So it appears there is no easy way to create an new group in Thunderbird under my address book

More importantly, ALL the email addresses I imported were mangled for example k_boreen@hotmail.com became k+AF8-boreen+AEA-hotmail.com

Fortunately, it looks like I still have the old addresses in addition to the ones I imported but it's going to be a pain to get rid of the mangled addresses

I'm on version 128.12.0esr
