In my imap email account I have a folder called Archives which has several subfolders, named by year, where I have been archiving messages for years. All the folders are still there but they are empty. I can't be sure of when this happened. Any ideas?

Habe nicht wissentlich eine Quickarchiver-Ordner angelegt. Ich finde ich auch nicht, bzw. ist nicht vorhanden. Der Ordnername endet auf (inbox). Wie bekomme ich das wieder Rückgängig. Danke für eine Rückantwort.

I want to use Thunderbird for transferring email folders from my Yahoo email account. I have no idea how to do this. Simplify, please. Not computer savvy. Thank you in advance

In TB 155.01 when I click on Delete the email leaves my Inbox but does not display in the Deleted folder. If I look at Properties in the Deleted folder it shows the correct number of messages in there but the messages themselves do not show in the right hand window. Thus there is no way of seeing what the messages are, just the total quantity in the folder.

Put the Thunderbird app for Android on my Samsung Galaxy S7, then tried to add my AOL email account. When I get to the step where Thunderbird asks me to sign in to AOL with my password, I get an error message saying "For account security, the window must be at least 320 x 200. Please resize the window." At this stage of Thunderbird set up, there are no options I can access to resize anything. I also can't tell what version of Thunderbird it is (downloaded about a week ago). Thanks.

After the latest update to the program I noticed that a previous folder is missing along with its saved emails. That folder still exists along with saved messages on the ISP server. This has happened previously and then re-appeared some months later, perhaps with an application update. The rest of my folders display properly along with their saved emails.

September 24, 2026 Hello. The Mozilla Firefox express connect to email icon on the taskbar shows a superscript of 2. I have no unread emails in either of my mail accounts. What is the 2 indicating? It has been like that for a couple of days now. Please help. Thank you. Helen

Thunderbird 156 and 157 resassigns deleted folder from Outlook to name Trash.

Because user cannot rename it back to deleted user ends up with 2 Trash folders.

I reported this earlier but never got any fix nor help.

When I added a new subfolder it disappeared. When I tried to add it again it just shows up. Today I can't add a new subfolder and the info in the folder I had won't show up.

I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird Email on my computer.

I put in my name as requested. Enter my Gmail account and go through all the steps signing in only to get a message that there is an error and I cannot be signed in.

Extremely frustrating to not be able to use this app.

Will be uinstalling immediately.

I have to find a new email carrier. 1) Is there a cost to Thunderbird email and is it the same as Thundermail? 2) Can I transfer my current email messages to be saved? 3) Can I use Thunderbird mail inside of Microsoft Outlook like is the case with my current email? 4) And current email is embedded inside of Gmail on my mobile phone. How would Thunderbird work on my phone?

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

I use Thunderbird, download on my PC computers (desktop and laptop) and on my iphone (using apple email set up - not Tbird app). I have noticed the folders are not synced on all three devices. Some are missing. Am I not doing something to sync them?

Thank you as always. I am using Windows 11 and Thunderbird 153.3.1esr. When I open past newsletters using "Edit as New Message," I cannot create a line break by pressing Enter before the first character of the body text. Line breaks work elsewhere in the body text and in regular new emails. This mainly occurs with group newsletters. If I change the formatting to [Paragraph] and then switch back to [Body Text] with Ctrl+Z, I can create line breaks in that editing screen. Is there a permanent fix?
