Thunderbird Community Forum

I am in the midst of the long process of moving most (not all!) of my gmail from the gmail server to TBird, using filters as discussed in this thread.

I've started by first using filters on less important emails (ie so that no true disaster occurs if something goes horribly wrong). As I do so, I have questions!

For example, let's say I use a filter to: copy all the emails from @someone.org to a local folder then delete those emails (from the server)

What happens if one of those emails happens to be within a thread, including emails from people who don't match the filter (ie are not @someone.org). Have I broken the thread forever, ie, has something gone horribly wrong? If so, how do I prevent this behavior/have the entire thread move along with the targeted value? If not, I don't see how I can move email without breaking threads, which is a bit of a problem.

(Also - whoops, I see I should update, but the question remains.)

I have three AOL accounts for various reasons. Until recently, all three were available and working in Thunderbird - no issues. A few days ago on start-up, I had a pop-up requesting indicating that my password for one of these accounts had not been recognised in Thunderbird. The account was working fine on another device, ipad. Re-entering the password didn't give me access to the account, and in desperation I deleted the account from Thunderbird. I then tried to re-create it, but although Thunderbird shows all the correct(?) details in the account settings, it actually just gets all the ...box contents from another of my accounts. Does anyone have any ideas how Thunderbird references existing account when add a new mail account, or how to stop Thunderbird referencing an existing account please?

Trying to set up you Thunderbird Im used to Outlook. The setup here is not the same and it won't connect. The "Manual Account Configuration" is not the same as the pictures here. Pic 1 = What your system picked Pic 2-3 = Is whats in my Outlook pick 4 = is what happens.

In your help: "Manual Account Configuration" These pictures look nothing like what I see in your setup I could use some help. Im uninstalling Microsoft 365 and replacing it with LibreOffice and Thunderbird.

Id rather donate than have 365 main Email is home@barrysplace.ca AS you can see, im using a email that i rarely use. dont want to mess with the main ones

Po użyciu funkcji „Porządkuj folder” w Thunderbirdzie część wiadomości w folderze Odebrane zaczęła wyświetlać się bez Tematu i Nadawcy/Korespondenta. Daty wiadomości są widoczne.

Konto działa przez IMAP. W webmailu wszystkie wiadomości są widoczne poprawnie wraz z tematami i nadawcami, więc problem występuje tylko w Thunderbirdzie.

Próbowałem już:

• Napraw folder – bez efektu,
• usunięcia lokalnych plików INBOX i INBOX.msf.

Здравствуйте! 1. Почтовый клиент стал показывать в папке "Входящие" по 10-15-20 копий одного и того же сообщения. 2. Когда-то была создана папка "Pending"во входящих сообщениях. Сейчас почтовый клиент сам по себе поместил ее в папку "Удаленные", причем во входящих двух разных почтовых ящиков. Создать эту папку как отдельную во входящих не удается. 3. Удаленную папку "Охрана труда" почтовая программа также поместила как отдельную папку в удаленных и воссоздает ее снова при запуске почтового клиента.

My thunderbird would not open. Said the file location couldn’t be found. I read online it recommended that I uninstall the application and reinstall. This fixed my issue with being able to access thunderbird but during the install all of my local folders were removed. Is there anyway I can get these back? I also lost all of my address book contacts.
