I wish to have a non American email client, but most free ones have a 1GB limit. Can I set Thunderbird to save all emails to my home PC so that if I delete the email in the email client, it is still saved on my home PC? So far I have not downloaded or installed Thunderbird, so just asking if it is posible, if so I will install Thunderbird.

Using version 154.0, all of my incming emails are going into my spam folder and my inbox is completely empty. I have turned off the spam assassin filter and the adaptive spam filter, but the problem persists. If I move a message from the spam folder to the inbox, it goes back to the spam folder within 3 seconds. I know that this is a Thunderbird issue because I uninstalled it and used my browser to access my email from my provider (runbox.com) and my inbox functioned correctly then. After I reinstalled Thunderbird, it somehow retained all of my settings and the problem persists. Is there a way to fix this?

When I open something in an email in Thunderbird I also get an extra new tab along with the tab for what I am wanting. If I don't delete this new tab, when I try to return to my email page it takes me to my Windows 11 home page. It only happens when I use Thunderbird and is very annoying. What do I need to do to resolve this issue.

I installed Thunderbird on my new laptop, then imported the profile from my old laptop

The main screen has, under "Inbox", folders for Drafts, Sent, Trash, Archive and Spam, which are being used by the program

Folders for Drafts, Sent and Trash also appear under "Local Folders" (along with Outbox) and these aren't being used by the program.

How do I get rid of these duplicate folders? "Spam" had a delete option, so that was easy, but the others don't.

I tried the two suggestions for a previous "Duplicates" question but they didn't resolve things.

Thank you

Hello,

While working today, I used TB normally to send and receive mail.

Today I wanted to forward one mail to a supervisor. After i click forward, the window appears. I add the receiver, and when i want to type in a text, I can't. Nothing happens. It doesn't matter what I do; it won't write anything i type. I can't even insert copied text; I can't change anything, like the forwarded text in the mail is locked.

Hi everyone,

I ran into a major accidental data loss issue in Thunderbird and I'm hoping someone can guide me on how to safely recover the messages.

What happened:

I attempted to copy a large batch of old emails from my Yahoo IMAP account into local folders.

Thunderbird initially moved them because I accidentally pressed "Move-to" Realizing they were moved instead of copied, I pressed Ctrl + Z to undo that action after all those emails were moved from my inbox to my local folder. That undo command synced back through IMAP and wiped those messages from both the local view and the server.

Those emails just disappeared and I want to get them back. It's been 6 days. How to recover them?

My Thunderbird app takes some minutes to start up. Updates are OK, troubleshooting does not show any failures. Emailing functions well, no problems. There is a new problem: dragging files to my Explorer has stopped to function.

I have a good HPPro "Desc 400 G5 MT"" PC running on Windows 11 (no problems).

Kindly advice actions to take. Do I loose my Address Book in case I uninstall my Thunderbird and Install a new copy of the Programme. Yours - Jarl Jaatinen, Finland

I have various mail accounts set up in my Thunderbird. All of them used to work just fine until yesterday. Since yesterday I receive an error for one of them that "Login to server ... with user ... fails." I have a second account with the same mail provider which works just fine with the same configuration settings. The account in question used to work just fine for several years without any changes. I tried saving the account data, deleted it from Thunderbird and set it up again - no success. Same error message. Connecting to the mail account via browser with the same credentials works alright. At the moment I'm at a complete loss what could be the problem - anyone having some brilliant idea?

Something seems to have changed recently with the PDF rendering in Thunderbird. I received an email with a PDF file attached. When I view it on the screen it looks fine, but when printing it out from within Thunderbird part of the top of the first page missing; it looks like part of the image is behind a white rectangle.

When I save the file and print it using Acrobat Reader it renders fine.

I don't know what to make of this behavior, but it does seem to be new and there is a difference between how the file is printed from Thunderbird as opposed to printing using Adobe Reader.

Thunderbird 152.0.1 on Windows 11 PC.

I am trying to migrate from Microsoft Outlook 2021 to Mozilla Thunderbird. I have successfully imported the email from a number of different email accounts. I would now like to import the archived emails held in a number of PST files. The import tool would seem to be what is required, but it does not seem to allow me to select the PST files that I wish to import. I am concerned that it will try to import all email messages from my Outlook 2021. Is there a way of restricting it to just individual PST files?

When I create an event, I choose No Reminder. When the event comes dur, I get a reminder. When I edit the event it ha a 'Custom Reminder'. I can't find where to turn this off.
