Thunderbird Support Forum

This is the message I get when trying to send emails: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: pgbentley101@gmail.com recipient rejected. Please check the message recipient "pgbentley101@gmail.com" and try again."

Title. Thunderbird is a really cool client but it's pretty slow. I blame that on the thousands upon thousands of emails that my hotmail and gmail each hold. I don't necessarily want to delete these emails, but I have seldom a reason to have any email older than 2 months in my thunderbird client slowing and crashing the program whenever I want to combine inboxes.

To this end I went to "Synchronization & Storage" and told it to "Synchronize the most recent 2 months" but it didn't delete the huge cluster of older emails. The next option is to tell TB to delete these emails in the same menu but as I understand it that would also delete them in the server, which I don't want to do for posteriority.

What do I do?

I import my local folders from my NAS unit, My Documents/mail.

The folder headings are all there, but there is no content when I click on the headings?

This does not happen in the windows 10 version?

I have been using Thunderbird as my email client with gmail. It has stopped sending and receiving emails. I went File...New...Existing Email Account and filled in the blanks. I know I used the right password. I got "Configuration found in Mozilla ISP database. After choosing POP3, I clicked "DONE," and got "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." What should I do?

Add Sender's domain or Sender's address as a default column in the email list, or else as an option.

The add-ons have helped us detect phishing mails many times. Sure, there are other methods, but every bit helps.

Frankly, I don't know understand it had to be an add-on. It should have been included in TB from the very beginning.

For the record, we've used Firefox from before it was Firefox, and Thunderbird from when it was hived off from the browser.

I recently reset my desk top and after that my thunderbird will not open without a password that I have not got. I need a simple way to find the password or otherwise allow me to reinstal a new download. I have tried for two days using lots of suggestions from web and help but I cant get past the request for a password

Hello, Since the update to Thunderbird Supernova from version 102 upwards, emails in several email folders are automatically deleted or hidden. The properties in the respective folders are listed under Retention rules: Do not delete messages.

The emails displayed in the folders no longer correspond to the contents in the folders. Example: A folder displays: 7, properties in the same folder displays: 1226 with 447 MB. It looks similar in the other folders.

How can I ensure that all available emails are displayed in Thunderbird again?

A repair with *.msf does not help.

Many thanks for your support. Erwin

When I right click on the menu bar and choose "customize" there is a "button style" selection at the bottom of the page where one can choose to display "icons beside text", "icons above text", "icons only" or "text only" but regardless of what option I select, I only get text. I believe it was was working properly when I first updated to 115.4.1 but then quit.

I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Thunderbird to no avail. How can I get it working properly?

Thunderbird recently updated to 115.4.1 (64-bit) for my Windows computer

I HATE IT, I can't find anything. I can't have it get email for a specific email address (I have 9 different email addresses that I manage for me, mom, dad, hubby and kids)

I need to be able to see them like before

I also want to get rid of the the emails being grouped together from 1 specific person I want them all separate

How can I roll this version back, how do I "ungroup" the emails ?

Thanks Tina Keeling

In Account Settings>Copies & Folders>Message Archives, I changed the first setting from "Other" to "Archives" folder. The reason for the change is that under "Other" when I send an email, not only is a copy saved in my sent folder but a bold copy is in my trash.

My problem is when I next bootup the computer, the setting reverts to "Other".

How can I make the setting change stick. Changes made in other areas do hold.

I updated several filters on Thunderbird and my account went "crazy" and moved All mail out of my inbox. After digging for a while I found that when I added a filter on a domain (domain ends with) I accidentally added another line that had a blank (or null) entry. This seemed to match every message and lots of messages were moved. Can you add code that deletes or ignores these entries?

Also trying to run this down in the filter log was irritating. Can you have an option to see most recent filter applications first. Would make it easier to debug. I can live with a large log taking a long time to load but having TO Page down hundreds of times is an issue. Another option would be Go to end

Something happened to our Thunderbird, we had always viewed our newest emails when we "open". Now we view the oldest first and we can't even find the newest. Can you help us please?

After many years of use, the delete button has stopped working. Moving any email into the deleted folder of local folders works, but I would prefer to have the delete button back.
