Thunderbird Support Forum

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.

I have faced with the following bug linked to messages displaying in thread in any section of Thunderbird (i.e., Incoming messages). See the screenshot - there is just thin white stripe instead of text of the message. This bug repeats only for some random messages. Restart of Thunderbird resolves this bug temporarily.

Can you please help me make it stop downloading my entire inboxes randomly. I've put up with this for years because my research has failed to find the right answer. It took an hour to download 5000 emails I already had over and over and over make it stop.

Hi there,

My grandmother on this account keeps receiving a enter primary password alert on her Thunderbird / Bigpond account. We've tried everything and when following the prompts to reset (tools > developer tools > etc) it won't come up with the evaluate button or reset button. We've tried the online sources but no success and she can't access her emails on her desktop. Please let me know what we can do !

Since two days Thunderbird crashes on startup. I even removed all (incl. Library Files) files from my laptop and reinstalled Thunderbird. Still the same problem.

When I try to add a hyperlink to a picture, then the editor freezes.

I think this happend since an thunderbird update.

Can you tell me, how to fix this problem, or can you recommend me a former stable version?

I have recently set up and started using Thunderbird with all four of my email accounts. However, when composing an email in the "To" field, I find myself having to manually enter the full email addresses of recipients. Is there a way to access my address book from the imported emails to streamline this process?

Over the past two weeks Thunderbird has been constantly stopping without any notification, just goes to sleep and will not wake up. Have to restart the app to get it working, works for a while, then goes back to sleep. Really, really a pain. I am considering something else if this keeps up, every time I restart it windows takes information about the problem but does nothing to fix it. If you're going to beg for money, maybe you should make it work first?

Thunderbird will not open. the error message is: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. The old Thunderbird process must be closed to open a new window." Pressed the "Close Thunderbird" button, but no response. Checked Task Manager and ended the Thunderbird application...still no change. Uninstalled Thunderbird and downloaded .exe file and installed...still the same error message. Rebooted the computer...still not change. Can you please assist with this problem. Thankyou I

My thunderbird email is linked to my Virgin media email. Suddenly Thunderbird has stopped working, so cant send or receive messages. Any ideas - the virgin email is working fine.

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

What can I do?

I don't recall this being an issue before but now with Thunderbird when deleting multiple messages, TB freezes with the "not responding" message. The more messages, the longer the delay.

By using Shift Delete, and bypassing the trash folder it is instantaneous. Other than that, is there any other solution?

Thanks

I tried to update Mozilla Thunderbird to 115.5.0. Now I can not receive emails on my computer. The message I received said, Error: Platform version 115.4.0 is not compatible with version 115.5.0. How do I "return" to 115.4.0 so I can have access to emails on my computer? I can receive emails on my cell phone. Thank you.

After the last couple of Thunderbird updates, I have been experiencing a really frustrating issue that I can't seem to resolve.

Only when I receive emails from one specific recipient and I go to reply to them, the font size is suddenly really large, and the spacing between new lines is huge.

Even if I set the font options to the same as if I was replying to a different recipient or creating a new message, it still appears really large.

What's worse is even if I make all these adjustments and get the font size and formatting looking okay, the actual sent message is even more out of whack and has all these spacing problems.

Does anyone know what might be going on? No other mail client I use experiences this issue whatsoever, and this issue is only occuring with this recipient.

Hi, I just got a new laptop and downloaded thunderbird. On the new computer, Thunderbird is slow to the point where I cannot use it. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it, played with settings, and nothing seems to do the trick. I use a screen reader (JAWS) because I am blind but I've never had any issues with it before. It will work fine for a few minutes and then the slowness will begin. Any ideas how to resolve this?
