As above. Cannot access any of the options in panel because of this. For some reason there is a second account of the same name repeated under the Security option and above "Local folders" for the original account, not added by me intentionally! At same time program started downloading all messages at start up. I don't want this either.

I just updated Thunderbird yesterday. Everything worked last night and now today I go to look at my mail, every time it tries to get the mail, it says login to imap.googlemail.com with my email address failed. Nothing I have tried has allowed me to get my mail through Thunderbird. Why why why does this happen with new updates????? There is also a pop up window on the right with the message I have attached. The first part of this message says "Alert from account (my gmail account login and email address).
My e-mail folder has disappeared from Thunderbird and my e-mails are gone.
I finally found them in a search, but that is the only way I can see them. HELP!

For some of the mail messages in my inbox, I see a paperclip. This signifies that the mail message has an attachment. If there is an attachment, then the paperclip appears. But there are messages that have a paperclip icon, but the mail message has no attachment. For these "phantom" attachments, the paperclip icon vanishes when I open the message. Why does this paperclip icon appear when there is no attachment?
In the images below, the first is before I open the mail, and the second is after I open the mail. The RFC 5322 mail headers show that there is one Content-Type: text/html;charset="UTF-8" section in the mail message.
This is Thunderbird 60.5.0 in Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.
Email messages not displaying correctly
When I open an email the body of the message appears incomplete and surrounded by red lines.

I believe the problem is that my phone is also reading IMAP email at the same time as Thunderbird on my computer. The phone will read the email and leave it in the inbox. It appears that the process Thunderbird uses is to run the message filters on email entering the system but not already in the inbox, so email already in the inbox is not passed through the email filters.
There are several solutions I think that would work. The easiest is to process the emails already in the inbox either before or after the incoming emails are filtered. Another method is to have the option of running message filters ever so often on the inbox and move email with junk tags to the junk folder, or deleted it that option is selected.
I believe this is a significant problem that definitely effects a lot of people. Thanks MIke

Starting today, one of my mail accounts has been unable to log in to thunderbird. Other gmails have been able to, so it's not a universal Gmail issue for me. It's saying I have to log in on a web browser. I've had this happen before, and have logged in on a web browser, and then all was well. However, this time, I've logged in twice, reloaded Thunderbird, and it's still persistently not receiving messages and telling me I need to log in on a web browser. Any thoughts on how to resolve this sudden shift?

I opened the "Customize" window in Thunderbird to drag the "Delete" onto my tool bar. However, I don't know where it went. Then I Googled and read where you can right click on the "Delete" button that is on the messages, open customize drag it in there and then to the toolbar. That didn't work either. So now I no longer have a "Delete" button on my emails.
I clicked on "Restore default set" in the Customize box but that didn't bring it back.
Can someone please tell me how to get my delete option back?

I have several old pop3 mail-files that I want to import to a new Imap-account. But once I have copied them into the mail-folder to Thunderbird and start TB, they are only visible for a small moment in TB before disappearing and the same files also are mysteriously missing in the folder.
I have checked this solution: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switch-pop-imap-account, without any help.

On the calendar side my events don't show. When I create an event and click Save & Close only the first 3 or 4 words show. There is much more room in that particular day's square, but I can't use it. Why is the calendar so big if you can't use 7/8 of the space allotted for each day? Have tried everything I know, even this forum once before, all to no avail. More problems on the mail side but I want solve this to decide if I'm going to continue to use Thunderbird. Thanks for your time.

For many years, Thunderbird Password Manager worked fine. Suddenly, I now have to re-enter account passwords each time after Thunderbird restarts. Passwords are saved in Password Manager during an active session but are removed whenever Thunderbird closes. Is there a switch I can toggle to change this behavior?

Hello,
I am Mac User Mojave 10.14.3 I use Thunderbird 60.5.0 and Safari 12.0.3
I am not able to setup S / MIME encryption so far.
I tried to create a key via instantssl.com As a result, the information "Attempting to collect and install your Free Certificate ... " appears (like stuck?). And a .p7s file is downloaded.
When I open that file " CollectCCC.p7s", I get an error message, like "Error, cannot be imported"
Any Ideas what to do next?
Yes, I have like 0 experience with S/MIME certificates, so this question might seem strange to some people.
Maybe what I miss is simple. Maybe not.
Thanks in advance.

Thunderbird contacts my server, puts in the password, tells me the number of messages, says it is downloading, and times out. I had this problem once and deleted a message from the webmail and they came in. I also had this problem a week or so again and they started downloading for no reason. I said "yes" when asked to compact my folders and no downloads at all. I have 2 profiles going and NEITHER will download. IS THIS BECAUSE COMPACTING IS HAPPENING IN THE BACKGROUND? Any other suggestions. There was a long thread on this from 5 years ago but none of it sounded very conclusive. I have almost had it with Thunderbird, this has happened so often, UNLESS it is my server.
