Thunderbird Support Forum

Thunderbird just "contracted" (read 'deleted') almost my entire inbox. I need those e-mails! Please tell me how to get them back! And how to keep this from happening again.

Thank you,

Erif.

I have the above showing on all my messages and no sender email address. It means I don't know who sent the message and I can't reply directly back. Another correspondent mentioned I needed to turn off the VPN but the link he gave me I cannot find the settings to do it.

I have been bouncing around with this daily for about two weeks, I have searched the help topics and the internet and asked every forum I know. I am nearly in tears with this!

Can anyone help me in a way that I can fix this. I am not a computer engineer so can re-write strings etc.

Not sure if I've done something to cause this, or whats happened or if this is a bug in the beta release I'm using.. 101.0b2 (64-bit)

When I open an email from the inbox view to read it, it always goes into write/edit/reply/send mode(not sure what to call that mode). It's only just started to happen.

Is this a config/settings error I could have caused ? Other Suggestions?

I have forgotten how to print individual addresses from my Thunderbird address books! I know I've done it in the long-ago past--perhaps 10 years ago--with no problems, but I can't figure out how to do it now. Help--and thank you!

I have searched the help to increase the size of the opening page fonts in - email subjects and account names. I am using the most recent update of Thunderbird. Per what I saw in the help I went to layouts.css.devPixelsPerPx and changed -1.0 to 1.2. Closed the config editor and returned to email - no change. I shut down Thunderbird and opened it again - still no change in the font size. I reset the setting in Config Editor and tried 1.25 - still no change. Tried -1.25 still no change. Each time when I go back to this setting in config editor - the number has been changed - but does nothing to change the font.

None of the font settings in Preferences have any effect on the opening page of Thunderbird.

I have some visual impairment and need these fonts larger. There has to be a way to do it. At one time these fonts were larger. There must be a way to change these - and why it is not easily built in to Preferences is terrible - and makes Thunderbird useless to those with minor visually impairment.

I need help in resolving this - there has to be a way.

I have Thunderbird installed on my laptop. The sent messages appear correctly in the sent folder on my laptop, but when I go to my other devices, they aren't there. I can get all my inbox messages on each device (phone and desktop), but not the sent messages. I checked the settings, and they all seem to follow the correct IMAP protocols from my email service provider (Sonic.net). Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong? Thanks!

All my devices are using Mac OS 11.6.5 or newer.

Can my registered email address be changed? The user settings make it appear that it can't. If so, how do I precede if/when my email address changes (which may happen at the end of this month)?

Thanks! Mark.

"Error Message-An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again." I have two addresses(Same Domain). Address A works fine when sending a message. I get this error message when sending a message using address B. No problem receiving mail with either address. What do they mean by "Mailbox unavailable"? . I checked the outgoing server of address B, It is not added automatically so i was added manually, But still it is getting an error. Your help would be appreciated.

The use of a separate filter set for each Thunderbird account can be a major pain for some users. I have 32 email accounts (some of them disposable) in a number of domains for a large number of purposes. Sometimes several accounts need the same filter, so when I add a filter I add it to the dominant account, and then have to copy that filter set to the other 31 accounts. I suggest adding an option that would use the same filter set (the one for the dominant account makes the most sense) to be used for every account, eliminating the need to copy filters.

Mbox upload to thunderbird went smooth. Setting on 14,000 emails in Local folders... However when I drag and drop that folder into the inbox of my gmail account so I can view remotely on any device, It caps out at 2500. I searched this on the web and it looks like google caps imap exchanges to 2,500/day but it says that it allows you to migrate entire inboxes up to 3 a month...

How do I get more than 2500 or set a schedule of uploading in the right order for exactly 2,500/day?

OR is there a better way altogether to get this to happen? I tried to connect my gsuite email account to pull in all old files but it could never gain access which led me down this google takeout mbox down load and upload into thunderbird

Document composed in WORD uses info form several sources. Single space text in WORD document becomes double space in TBIRD. I didn't used to have this problem so either Tbird or WORD update made a change that caused this. Has turned a 5 minute job into 30 minutes to hunt how to fix or retype text and insert tables.

Is there some way I can change the order in which email accounts are presented in the left panel on Thunderbird (91.9.0 (64-bit))? Perhaps a config file within the profile?

I note that in the preferences/settings, you can activate the account with the mouse, but you can't drag/drop to change order (maybe a useful feature to have?).

Thanks.

After update to above Beta I keep getting mailbox filter errors on Default account, occurs at start-up & when some new messages arrive that are sent into the filters . See screenshot attached. Many Thanks

On a small Windows box, the hdd was going out. I was able to put it in a USB enclosure and the drive works for a few minutes before crashing again. This person doesn't have a recovery method for her Gmail and the password was saved on the small desktop. I have copied over the AppData/Thunderbird folder to my MacBook. Need help finding the hash so I can send it to someone with really large rainbow tables to help this girl get her forgotten password. Any suggestion on where the hash can be found?

1. When I want to remove formatting of some text such as from text that was pasted in or was in a message I am replying to, I frequently find that "Remove all text styles" fails to remove anything and "Discontinue text styles" also fails in some situations. The drop-down for Body Type and Font just revert to what they were. So something that is "Preformat" and font: "Times" just goes back to those choices. Trying to change the formatting using those drop downs also fails. It is very frustrating. I know there is "Paste without formatting" and I use it frequently but that isn't always a good solution.

2. Sometimes the bullet-list won't let you stop the list, hitting Enter on the last blank bullet doesn't always end the list and just keeps adding bullets.

I have been using Thunderbird for many years now and those and other editor problems never seem to get fixed. Are there work-arounds for editor problems? Is anyone working on improving the editor?
