Thunderbird Support Forum

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?

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."

emoji are now showing up in incoming emails . Emoji are replacing a few characters in the body of the email. previously could not compose an email without emoji inserted in place of a few letters, such as capitalized A. played with settings, fonts to no avail. magically the next day problem went away. the next day, now incoming emails are peppered with emoji: Mozilla looks like the M was replaced by emoji

4 of my many T.Bird email folders somehow lost their email contents (about 50 emails). I have an older T.Bird email backup and want to only reload the 4 empty folders using the backup. I want to keep any emails that may be in my other current folders but not in the backups. I am not sure how to do this.

If I copy the same named T. Bird email root directory [b0mdofvn.default] back up folders into the current email root directory, I see the replaced emails very briefly and then they self delete, leaving the folders empty.

How do I fix this?

Incoming emails from quickbooks@notification.intuit.com all come in under the same name. How do I change it so it comes in from who it is actually from. Several of our customers use quickbooks. I cannot differentiate them.

Hello, I got a tale of two computers with Thunderbird on both. First, I will start with my HP Laptop, its my primary computer due to its speed. I went to check my emails this morning. I double click on the TBird icon on my desktop. It does not open. Waited a few seconds, tried again and again. Finally, a folder containing pictures opened up. Then, I went to open FireFox, and that same folder with pictures opened. I tried this like five times and the same thing happened. Then I got to thinkin, when I went to shut it down the other day, it said "update and shut down", so I did. Now that I remembered the update, I decided to go back in time to when the laptop was running real good. So I did that recovery, in doing so, it wiped out some of the applications I had on my computer, such as FoxFire, Thunderbird, Adobe, HP printer, CCleaner, and probably others that I seldom used. Somehow, I got to the point where I reinstalled Thunderbird. The only thing is, it would not let me in. When double clicking on the icon, it took me to a page that just wanted my name, email address and password. I enter the info, that page stayed open and added a few more items to the page, such as IMAP and POP3 stuff. IMAP was already selected by Tbird. I then had the option to click "done" . In doing that, it said "Unable to log into server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password" So there's that. Cannot even see the email program. Second part of the mystery, I have an old Gateway desktop. Its slower than slow. I only use it in emergencies, as the above scenario. I fire it up, wait about 5 minutes before I open Thunderbird on that. Guess what, it wants a password. Whats different about this deal is that the email opens, and I can see all my previous emails, but cannot receive or send. I have no Idea whats going on, unless its my deceased wife coming back to haunt me...I don't know.

Can't add three existing email accounts to thunderbird. It tells me that they are not configured correctly. These accounts were working in thunderbird until about a year ago. When I changed my computer, only two of my five accounts would add. I have been doing without them but now I need them back. Please help me see why I can't add these three accounts. I am running Thunderbird 115.5.1 (64-bit) The accounts that I am having trouble with are .sbcglobal.net accounts. The ones that work are a .Yahoo.com account and a .gmail.com account.

I have a folder set aside for a non-profit I volunteer for. I want to backup all those emails separately so that they are 'easy to access' - it's a regulation. How??

for last 3 days Thunderbird has become very slow , after clicking on a message it will take very long tie to read. when I select a message it remains unread. Typing is also very slow .

I currently use Cox email along with Thunderbird. Cox is going to transfer their service over to Yahoo. Will I still be able to use Thunderbird once the email service is transferred?

IMNO both are a PITA.

How can I suppress all threating and grouping in my folders?

No idea how they appeared.

Grouping by sort is active and I cannot uncheck it.

I recently had to re-install Windows. I saved my Thunderbird profile. I re-installed Thunderbird and when imported my profile, I could retrieve my messages but could not send messages. I attempted to change the settings and wound up creating two additional Pop3 accounts. Now I can't send or retrieve messages. My provider is Charter/Spectrum. I have tried all the settings they suggested. How do I get out of this fix? Thanks.
