My email recently migrated from Cox to Yahoo. I'm not happy about it. I can't wait until Thunderbird has an app! Anyway, I had to change my imap settings but now Thunderbird isn't taking my emails off the server. How do I do that? Thanks in advance, Allison

I just purchased a Google Pixel 8a, and needed to install the reader for my Yahoo Mail account. When I searched for Thunderbird for Android, I found Edison Mail+. How does that fit, or is this something I don't want?

Is there - yet - a Thunderbird for Android? If not what do you recommend? I had been using K-9 mail on my Pixel 6a (which, I had understood, was the forerunner of Thunderbird for Android), but it just doesn't want to install on the 8a.

I have the most recent updated Thunderbird, I wish to delete a email account, however under settings Account Actions is absent. I have tried searching for and answer but no way to remove it so far. I have used Thunderbird for near 10 years and usually there is the Account Actions menu item. I see all settings its should be right under the item Return Receipts. But nothing is there.

Thank You for the help.

I have recently started using Thunderbird 115.4.3 on a new laptop running Windows 11. I transferred my profile from my old laptop and set up my two email accounts as POP accounts. The problem is that Tbird is regularly crashing, mostly (maybe only?) when I delete messages from my Inbox. When I restart the program, it works fine except that all or most of the messages in Trash are now duplicated multiple times. Any ideas how to stop this behavior?

When I search for emails with CTRL+K, it used to come up with a list that I could click on and it would open that specific email even if it was part of a threat. Now it sends me to a whole list of emails and I have to search through all of them in order to open the one I want. This is all after the latest update. How can I get it to open immediately in that first search?

Thank you, Chris

When I use a html signature with graphics, the recipients who can not receive Html, do ot receive the grafics, obviously, but also not any other attachment like a PDF file. The same is sent but not received! in other words, our customer complain that we forgot the attachment, but we did not. If I resend without the signature, they receive the PDF file. If I reply with an attachment and have a previous signature with grafics in the feed, the attachement also disapears. The only solution is no grphics in the signature, but that is not a solution, just a quick fix. Thank you very much for your replies.

When I looked at my profile I find that there are several folders created for each of my email addresses at different times. I had wondered about the possibility of clean install of each of the accounts (IMAP) so this would pickup everything from the individual servers. Then copying across the local folders and my address book. Is this possible/feasible? Would it just be easier to import everything? Where is the address book stored. I also have TB backed up on an external drive (insurance). Thanks

I have just switched to Thunderbird from Gmail. Have tried several times to send bulk emails but always get this message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: We have detected an unusual amount of suspicious mail originating from this address. Please try again later.. Please check the message and try again.

I have a need to send emails frequently to more than one address and this is going to be most inconvenient if it can't be fixed. Is there a setting somewhere?

Thank you.

We have 2 computers set up with Mozilla Thunderbird. On one of the 2, the outbound password was inadvertently changed. on the other of the 2, the outbound email works fine.

On the 1 the password was lost, I saw an option to view the password. I'd like to do that on the 1 that DOES work so I can re-enter the proper password.

Thunderbird, new installation, with 5 email accounts. Only one is of any size (7+ GB), but it is only sync'ing 6 months of messages, so the amount on disk is not huge. The 4 others are all below 1 gb. After just a week or 2, I am getting the "compact folders" alert, and it offers to recover 51.9 GB of disk space! This worries me, because I had just about 25 gb of disk space free when I installed Thunderbird, so it can't possibly recover that much space. The Thunderbird folder in AppData/Roaming is only 1.74 gigs. Where is it getting 50+gb from? I'm afraid to run this maintenance task.

Hi, I've used Thunderbird before but not recently, and am looking forward to having it again. After a number of years using webmail for multiple accounts I started using the Seamonkey version, but did not know my local archived email was not backed up and I lost several years of archived email when my last computer crashed. I tried reading the FAQs but for whatever reason I can't figure it out on my own. How do I find the path for local profile stuff -- probably also need to check this on another family member's computer as well! Thank you.
