Thunderbird Support Forum

Good morning I have updated Thunderbird to the lastest version 115.6.0 (64-bit) on my Mac with Ventura 13.3.1 (22E261) and now I can not see my mailboxes and folders. Have tried everything - nothing works. Rest bookmarks work. Contacts and other functions. I can create and send letters from any of my mailboxes, I can search letters in all mailboxes in search field, but I can not see on the left bookmark nothing - empty list of mailboxes. I have download the program again, reinstalled, changed Thunderbird file in Programms - same thing. Please help.

I have many folders and sub folders and before the new upgrade each sub folder would show the number of new messages. Now only the main sub folder shows and if there are messages only the first level local sub folders show new messages not the second level and third level.

I have spent the last TWO HOURS trying to find an answer to what should be a simple problem, and it seems not to exist!

I need to find out WHERE Firebird lists my email account PASSWORD.

I do NOT want to reset my password.

I simple need to know WHAT my password is, and since I set up the account [actually a few accounts] several years ago, my notes are evidently null and void, because none of those passwords seem to work.

My email is through verizon.net, which is one of the problems because they gave all of their email coltrol to AOL, which thouroughly sucks, and they seem not to have anyone who speaks fluent English who can assist me in FINDING the current password!

If ANYONE can help, it would be most greatly appreciated!!

I find that when I click on links to take me to website through my email in Thunderbird that I will get an error message that reads "we could not verify the certificate, reason=wronghost"

But, if I copy link and copy into browser it works fine. There is a break in the Thunderbird email to the browser. This does not happen with all links but there are about three or four that I get regularly where it fails.

I have talked to a tech guy and we have tried different things and it always comes back to a break in Thunderbird email.

How do I fix this problem?

Thank you, Monica

Yesterday I set up a new password. Then said sending a code. Cannot get the code as I can not get messages or send out messages on your site. My other device is my phone to get a code. I am only in your site as I kept clicking the screen several times and you popped up. Forgot my original password. I am getting your messages on Spectrum Webmail. At the end of January I could not sent out an email; then could not receive an email. Was working fine up to then. Do not know what happened. Just want to get back on Thunderbird as I have important folders and my contacts.

bold textMy emails will not download. Optimum or Comcast or the Geek Squad will not help with 3rd party users. I dont know how to get them to download. I am using a computer that is stationed in Florida, so it has not been used in 9 months.

My Thunderbird updated on me and my classic view with the Buttons is GONE. Does not look anything like the previous version..

How do I get my old view back!

(Can't even find my WRITE button)

Please help!!!

AL

why do you change my message selection when I delete an unrelated message??? Sometimes you delete a message that I haven't opened yet (and don't necessarily wish to open at this time)!!!

I want to delete my email hosting but still keep my emails.

Does deleting an email account also delete old emails from Thunderbird where I also get a copy?

Thank you!

I've just now noticed the Threading automatic default grouping/marking of messages, and it is appalling. Thunderbird/Mozilla either needs to eliminate this (with appropriate warning notices, perhaps) or at least give us the ability to NOT link various messages. It's not only vastly annoying, it can cause severe real-world problems if anyone not in the CC or BCC fields is receiving these messages that were not intended for them.

I suppose for now, the only way to NOT link things that were never meant to be would be to change the Subject when discussing important topics.

Either that, or get a whole new mail service, which I'd prefer not to have to do.

How can I turn off the threading of my emails? Its driving me crazy as when an email comes in after a short time it disappears into the threads and then I have to open each thread to find out who sent the email. At one stage there were 6 emails noted near the inbox but no new unthreaded message, all went to respective threads. Very time wasting.

I use Thunderboard on a PC and googlemail on an iPad. On TB, there are 2 tabs - Sent and Sent Mail. Their contents differ but should be integrated under one name but messages sent from the iPad land in Sent Mail, not Sent.

I thought this TB and Gmail could be synchronised? How??

I have read the solutions for threading and well they either don't work or are not options. There is no View>sortby. I have a view> toolbars view>layout and view>folders none of which even have a sortby under them. I can not deal with this threading. I hate to give up Thunderbird but I cant work like this. HELP

Hello Support

I have been using your product thunderbird for my email purposes. Recently I upgraded my HDD capacity to 4TB and copied all my files across, which worked OK.

My thunderbird email platform now has two inboxes and the incoming mail appears in both inboxes, which is becoming inconvienent.

Q: How do I delete one of those inboxes with out risking a major loss of folders?

In box #1: wbob@optusnet.com.au wbob@optusnet.com.au

In box #2: OPTUSNET wbob@optusnet.com.au

Kind Regards Bob wbob@optusnet.com.au

I have been using Thunderbird for many years, and really like it - until two recent updates (sorry!). I am running Ubuntu 22.04, and Thunderbird 115.4.1. One now has a column taken on the left which is unnecessary, and a section at the top which is above the menus with e.g. File... but I would like my File menu at the top, as it used to be. The second issue is more frustrating - the search facility, where one can find the emails being sought, allows me to search by many options, and I was able to display the results sorted by subject, size or my normal was by date, but I never use the message threads as that is rarely of interest, and I can sort on that using the message subject if needed. Now, when I search the results are ONLY in the message threads, and if I try to sort by date, I lose all information, and the ONLY option is to see the messages by thread which is no use to me! How can I restore good old Thunderbird - the version I enjoy using (or have the functionality I had restored)?! Many thanks,

After recent update, TB seems to have created an extra account. My account has name <myemajl> and ends in ".com". New acct has same name but ens in .com_2. That's why I think TB created it. Which do I delete and how

for years I have used Thunderbird, and during that time have replaced serveral old pc/laptops. My new laptop when trying to open Thunderbird asks for a password. I have no record of that anywhere!! So how do i create a new password or gain acess to use Thunderbird. Im using Windows 11

Thunderbird displays messages as a long list. It never did that before an update, and now I can not find out how to turn that nonsense off! I don't want to see every message from some person tabbed across the screen when I search for their name. I want to just pick one message, often a recent message.

How do I search for a message from a random person and only get one message I choose to view?

Formerly I could decide the window size for the number of minimum visible received emails in the list down to 3. But for any reason the minimum now is 10. Which does that the space for text content is reduced a lot. How can I get back the former possibility?
