The previous answer to this message isn't compatible with the current v142 of TB. I used this feature all the time when using Outlook 2019 before I switched to TB and I really miss it. I was able to clean up incoming messages to remove the many indentations and other unwanted formatting.

Is there anything that works with the current release of TB?

I installed Thunderbird using setup 141.0 on July 29 on a Windows 11 laptop with all updates applied. On Thunderbird I have only set up my primary email account, a pre-existing IMAP account hosted on IONOS servers, but have several others I'd like to transfer from Outlook. After I get this fixed. Several of my (many) subfolders do not show up in the Thunderbird folder list, but they and their contents are visible in the webmail interface and on the mail app on my iPhone and iPad. I don't know how many are missing: I discover it when I try to move a message to the folder and it's not there and I have a lot of folders so doing a comparison is tedious. The missing ones I've seen so far were created prior to my installing Thunderbird; so are the ones I can see. Just of the ones beginning with the letter "S" I have 8 subfolders on webmail and only 5 on Thunderbird. In alphabetical order, I'm missing the first one, have the next three, missing the next two, have the last two. One of the missing ones has been updated (from another device) a few days ago, and the others are haven't been updated in months or longer.

I uninstalled and reinstalled, but may have messed that up: I uninstalled (using the Windows Control Panel function) and rebooted the computer, then reinstalled, but got a message that I was using an outdated Maintenance Service, so I realized I was using the original download. I uninstalled that version and downloaded a fresh installer, version 142.0 (but did not reboot the computer). It installed without error messages, but remembered my email account, so it's still tainted. And the missing folders are still missing. And still present on the webmail. I've sent you some screenshots to illustrate.

I'd like to start with a clean uninstall/reinstall, right? But do you have any other ideas?

Hello. I am a new Thunderbird user. I use Thunderbird on an Android tablet, Thunderbird version 11.1.

In Thunderbird, is there a this kind of built-in feature:  is it possible to set it up so that when Thunderbird has sent a message, the text "message sent" appears on the screen or, for example, an audio signal sound to indicate that the message has been sent successfully?  Before I used Edison Mail and it worked like that and I found those features very useful.

I'm using Thunderbird 140.2.1esr, which seems to have been automatically updated in the last day or two. In previous versions I've been able to select multiple emails by using Shift+Up-Arrow or Shift+Down-Arrow. However, in this latest version, the Shift+Up-Arrow no longer works (Shift+Down-Arrow DOES still work). It would be great to have this fixed as I seem to use this combination a lot more often that I realized! Thanks!

I am attempting to add a Netzero email account to Thunderbird. I keep getting an error telling me password, or username or server maybe wrong. I've compared the settings i'm using with the settings I used to add this Netzero account to another device and they are identical. Netzero is a POP3. Any thoughts?

You deserve to got through this so you will UNDERSTAND!!! YOU KEEP changing the settings arouhd, just "pllaying" like it's not very serious for other people! YOu have decimated this and then just when we think you are on our side again, because to us it is not a game or a side shoe for entertainment and playing arouhd, and we think you are going to help and improve and then you redo the settings again throwing us off completelly! I hope it happens to you so you will matrue and know what is REALLY going on!

Hi, after installing Thunderbird, the free space on my C: drive dropped significantly. I think Thunderbird may have created a local folder where it saves all my emails. Could you advise me on which settings I should use to keep my messages in the cloud instead of on my computer?

［設定］→［外観］から［テーブルビュー］、［非スレッド］、［降順］に変更して、スレッド表示と並べ替えの設定の適用先を［既存のすべてのフォルダー］をクリックすると、起動している間はこれらの状態になっているが、Thunderbirdを終了して再起動すると設定が下に戻ってしまいます。 これは以前からではなく２ヶ月前頃から生じています。 この問題を解決する方法を教えて下さい。

Hello, Last week I did not have the Sent Mail folder, came here fixed it. Now the emails I send do not go into the Sent folder. I tried to find help and could not find anything than to right click on the Sent Mail folder, Properties, then Repair folder. It did not fix the problem.

Is there anything I can do to fix that, I used to have all the emails I have sent in there, no more.

Thank you for your time and efforts.

I have no idea why, but TB is wonking out lately with strange errors?

The folder '[Gmail]/Sent Mail on me@mydomain.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

I have a ton of space and have not changed anything on the PC?

Any ideas?

This is a followup to my recent question about unable to login to account. I continued to troubleshoot the issue and noticed for tha first time in the heading of the error message "login to account RoadRunner/TWC' failed. It offers to allow me to enter a new password. I don't think I ever did specifically choose a password. Should I/Can I enter a new password? See uploaded image.

Thanks for your help, SweetTasha

Step #4 of the instructions say Select Contacts: In the bottom - left corner, click gear icon and Select All. Step #5 Export as vCard: Click the gear icon again and select vCard to download a .vcf file of your contacts. The "Select All" transcript in #4, doesn't occur and I'm unable to download contacts file. I've also tried downloading from my iPhone with negative results. What might I be doing wrong. Thanks for any help.

Att made me change my account password. Now Thunderbird cannot access messages. I have entered the new password in out going and incoming but there seems to be more to this than that because nothing happens. Where do I have to put in new passwords? Thanks so much. Marjorie
