Thunderbird Support Forum

I have 4 e-mail addresses and corresponding inboxes. One is my personal addy that I use for most legitimate business. The other 3 are leftovers from former businesses and a spam addy. I use those other 3 addys sparingly, but only for sites I want to maintain distance from, and any I suspect might be spammers.

Thunderbird has worked wonderfully for me for some years, but recently, I have been getting duplicate messages in 2 of my 3 dummy accounts for every one that is legitimately sent to my main account. None ever show up in that 4th account, but I did just receive an e-mail that was intended for that 4th account, and the inbox acted as it should (no duplicates anywhere).

I have spent a couple of hours with a very dedicated service rep from my ISP, and she was unable to find any solution. She suggests that reaching out to Firefox is the next logical step.

Hi. From the Wayback machine. We have an older iMac (2011?) in the office running OS X 10.6.8. The version of Thunderbird is 45.8.0. This system used for Email in updating customers, has been used right up until this past week.

We have used GoDaddy for Email for years without any issues, until this week. Godaddy migrated all Email over to Outlook/365 on Monday. We cannot send a thing.

Contacting Godaddy's Migration department, we were given a new server (smtp.office365.com) for outgoing Email. It simply doesn't work.

Obviously, our entire system is outdated, and needs to be upgraded, but is there any way that we can use this system for now, because if is so important to get these Email message sent!

Would any other service/server be compatible with this antiquated system so that we can complete this project?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I have many folders and sub folders and before the new upgrade each sub folder would show the number of new messages. Now only the main sub folder shows and if there are messages only the first level local sub folders show new messages not the second level and third level.

Hello Support

I have been using your product thunderbird for my email purposes. Recently I upgraded my HDD capacity to 4TB and copied all my files across, which worked OK.

My thunderbird email platform now has two inboxes and the incoming mail appears in both inboxes, which is becoming inconvienent.

Q: How do I delete one of those inboxes with out risking a major loss of folders?

In box #1: wbob@optusnet.com.au wbob@optusnet.com.au

In box #2: OPTUSNET wbob@optusnet.com.au

Kind Regards Bob wbob@optusnet.com.au

I use Thunderboard on a PC and googlemail on an iPad. On TB, there are 2 tabs - Sent and Sent Mail. Their contents differ but should be integrated under one name but messages sent from the iPad land in Sent Mail, not Sent.

I thought this TB and Gmail could be synchronised? How??

Dear Sir, I don't know why whenever I log in the Thunderbird email (IMAP), the problem is that the Thunderbird email account always download the email to my Inbox very slow? How to solve this problem ?

Trying to add an Gmail account on Thunderbird. My email address and password are correct. What to do? Using Surface Pro 8, Windows 11. I can access Gmail account directly but something happens when I try to add it to Thunderbird. My other email accounts, outlook.com & comcast.net installed without problem.

Since Thunderbird 115.6.1 was installed files disappear when I move them to an Archive or Draft folder. How can I fix this and how can I recover those files from the server?

Good afternoon,

Could you please tell me how often the Thunderbird autoconfiguration protocol can be accessed - https://autoconfig.thunderbird.net/v1.1/ ? Are there any limits on the number of requests per minute from one IP? If so, what are they and where is it specified?

I have read the solutions for threading and well they either don't work or are not options. There is no View>sortby. I have a view> toolbars view>layout and view>folders none of which even have a sortby under them. I can not deal with this threading. I hate to give up Thunderbird but I cant work like this. HELP
