Thunderbird Support Forum

Updating to version 38.1.0 Start Thunderbird, Starts up OK. Can view messages and write new emails etc OK. If I select "get messages" OR messages are accessed automatically every 5min. then the whole PC crashes. Three finger salute does not bring up task manager. Only way out is to power cycle.

Thanks in advance for your help Cheers Pete

Previously one could tap view, and see exactly all the transmission details of emails, especially spam or phishing, and I could highlight, copy and paste to send to SpamCop or phishing.gov.uk so the sender could be traced and blocked. This feature seems to have gone with the new update. Sorry if thick but am 79 yo Geri. Cheers and thanks

Hello, have any of you encountered such a problem as different email content than it should be? On the main server the content is correct, only through the thunderbird application I encountered such a problem. Is there any solution to this problem ?

I have about 30,000 messages in a local folder on TB. I need to move them to an IMAP folder on my outlook.com account. I have been able to move some but TB just stops moving the files randomly. I have tried: creating a new TB profile Moving small batches Creating a new destination folder on the IMAP account Granting all permissions to destination folder Reindexing TB Compacting the Local folder Checking/Changing SMTP server settings Read everything I could find in various forums There are 'services' that claim to do this for you but require me to grant permissions I am uncomfortable with Thanks for any wisdom you can offer to resolve this.

Hello, Thunderbird crashed and asked me to send a crash report. My question is not about the crash or bug itself, I rather care about my data. I accidentally clicked on Submit and later read that it contains "Sensitive Data" as in a raw dump of the state of my E-Mail client. As far as I've read people can have access to this over the web (via crash-stats.mozilla.org/ I pressume)

Question: Can I have my crash-report removed/withdrawn? I don't want to have the possibility of personal data, passwords, etc. on the internet.

My Thunderbird is completely updated. Since July I have found it impossible to consistently send emails. I checked my outgoing settings and they are fine. I have no anti-virus (I'm using a Mac). When I turn off the firewall, I can send one email out, sometimes two, then they will no longer go out. I tried deleting Thunderbird from the firewall, then adding it again. Nothing doing. This occurs with both email addresses I use.

Should I remove Thunderbird from my computer and start over? Or is it a lost cause?

Hi :)

I don't remember if I had an extension installed but I would like to have my old account layout back. I put the photos for you to understand. Is possible?

Thank you

Nearly every day I have to quit Thunderbird and reopen it as, it will not connect to my server. This means that all the viewing criteria and spending/descending has to be reset and is a real drag. As soon as I reopen Thunderbird it works normally again.

I have used the same connection details for years and it is just the last two Thunderbird versions that have replicated this issue. It's not always every morning when I wake my iMac up, but normally happens then or, later during the day.

I asked this question for 102.3.1 but received no answers so, I am hoping that there will be an answer to this.

Thanks

Hello there We have read the message. We try to help Follow Up!!

You write that you can no longer send outgoing messages.

Try viewing your outgoing server details in your Thunderbird Software.

These settings are set as they are normally set for use.

After an update, some miscommunication could have arisen, resulting in a situation similar to yours.

Together we can see whether this can be completed so that it works as it should again.

Can you send me a screenshot of your outgoing SMTP server settings for email use? This is probably installed in your Thunderbird software on your desktop.

Hello,

after bug 1866098 and the associated update stop, I can no longer update Thunderbird via the internal update process because it cannot find newer versions. I am asking since the bug seems to be resolved with 123.

How can I update my Thunderbird to 123.0b+?

Thank you very much Martin

duplicate of /questions/1438116 thread. Also it is Thunderbird and not Mozilla.

Connect my server to Mozilla. I need my Mozilla reached through AOL now. Please help me back into Mozilla.

(note. i'm very wary of posting this question here, as i've been told off, this apparently not being the right place for such matters. but this is where i get to from "Help>Submit Feedback…" in Thunderbird, and also Bugzilla leads me here. if this is not the right place, please can someone kindly tell me where is?)

102.2.2 has really messed things up for me. i can't see any emails after August 9th in any of my Saved Searches, and this is causing real problems.

i've tried deleting the global database and reindexing, but that did nothing.

[Mac OS 10.12.6 Sierra]

I have many folders for 2 POP accounts. This morning everything looked ok. I quit Thunderbird after it had been running unclosed for a week. Came back home, opened Thunderbird, and there are no messages in any folders. My folder pane looks good. I can email from one POP account to another, Get Messages, and see that I have a new message in the other Inbox because the InBox icon changes. But click on that folder or any folder and there are no messages displayed. I looked in all the directories and the box files are all there and the correct size. Go to the bottom of that Inbox file and there is the new test message I just did. One other thing Thunderbird version 115.8.0, MacOS 11.7.10, and there is a SuperNova symbol that I do not remember seeing before. Thanks

Ok everything was working fine then I did something whilst I was deleting (one at a time) emails from a gmail account now some mails have no toolbar/infobar -see image 2 whereas some do -see image 1 also the mails when the toolbar is missing are now html which makes them pretty impossible to read its like the View Sourse has been put into the mail along with removing the toolbar The date on the mail is different on the mail toolbar than the folder -see image 2 Its really weird as its not affecting all mails in that folder just some I updated but no luck and cant find info on the web and view or account settings Any help greatly accepted

Windows 10 thunderbird 102.7.2

Since the recent big Thunderbird update, my copy of Thunderbird has started freezing for about 30 seconds at a time frequently when I try to read a new message, get messages, or drag messages from my inbox to a folder. This was never a problem before the update to 115. I'm not sure what information would be useful to help diagnose the issue, but I'm happy to answer questions that could help. Thanks! Joel

TB 102.6.1 (64-Bit), macOS, DE locale

TB macOS with GUI on extras "Filter" edit lacks scrollbar in sub-window thus making amending / editing of filters almost impossible on the macOS GUI of TB. This mishap was introduced in TB 102.6.x only recently, I presume.

Please consider correct and fix asap.

Question: How to reasonably edit the textual config file for TB filters in cases like this?

Hello, I have NEVER had problems with [Currently using:Thunderbird 60.9.1 (32-bit). Can I update to current Thunderbird with no problems?] Or - simply NOT fool around and stay with the above version?

Thank you, P. Mitchell

I deleted a mail account from TB and now, every time I open TB, I get the prompt for logging into that account. I can cancel it but it pops up again and again. The account on the prompt has the same name as the one I have now but it asks me to log on a different server (the server I used on the deleted mail account). Other than deleting my mail account again, uninstalling and re-installing TB and re-adding the mail account (all these I would like to avoid if possible), I don't know what else to do. I don't even know if this would work to be honest. Help is greatly appreciated.

Thunderbird didn't seem to download properly. My Thunderbird window does not have the top lines that say: File, Edit, View, etc., and Get Mail Write, Address Book.
