1. Some messages come to my mobile devices but not to my Mac. 2. I watch a message down load but it doesn't end up in my inbox or junk folder. 3. Junk folder says there are 14 messages in it, but when I open it, it's empty. 4. Yes, I'm up to date with Thunderbird. Also, the Mac is up to date. Problem began before latest updates. I have shut down the Mac. I have quit the Thunderbird application. No improvement. 5. I use Comcast for my ISP.

I already have View > Sort by > Date is selected, View > Sort by > Descending selected, and thread sorting set in settings. See screenshots. Threads sorting so newest is at the bottom, they should be at the top. General emails are sorting properly, newest at the top.

I am getting a lot of email dated a month of more in the future. How do I best filter these out as junk? I tried making a regular filter, but can't find a way to set it to "greater than today."

Kit Galloway,

A week ago my Thunderbird email-app mysteriously switched to a very thinned-down and sparse email information presentation.

I want to return to the classic Thunderbird display. I'm using the current Mac mini.

My email: X@earthlink.ne Phone: xxx-xxx-xxxx

(PII removed by moderator)

I don't use Archives or Templates. There is no folder on my servers that correspond to these and they are not subscribed in my IMAP settings.

They don't appear in the per-account view. But they somehow appear in the unified folder view.

I am not able to figure out how to make them disappear.

Help.

Sometimes a search term will pull up many emails I need to sift though, like in the case where it's a common word, like permit. I was searching the term "permit" for building permit emails and got many unrelated emails that were more recent with permit in the email body. I am able to quickly skim and see these are unrelated but the limiting factor is only ten results per page. When I click load more, takes a few moments to load. I was unable to find any way to change this. How can it be done? Should be possible, it's doesn't affect Mozilla's processing because everything is done locally on my machine. I would much rather 100 results to load or to load indefinitely.

Additional question: on that search term, many unrelated emails came up as mentioned before. When I searched the same term in gmail in my internet browser, only relevant emails came up. Why is this? How do I improve the thunderbird search?

It's pretty much in the title. My in box freezes up and no emails arrive. Microsoft will drop drop down a box asking me if I want to open THUNDERBIRD and says make sure I'm using a trusted server - app??? I don't understand any of this!

I hope you all are well!

I´ve been having a problem with thunderbird for a while now and today took the time to do the troubleshoot and checked all the account settings. no firewall, no add ons Researching the problem i came across the incompability of different TLS standards. Apparently when thunderbird updated to 78.0 in 2020 a lot of people had the same problem and solved it by downgrading . Since this problem came on suddenly, possibly when thunderbird upgraded automatically, and it only applys to select emails (about half) I guess different TLS standards, some of which are no longer supported by thunderbird, are the reason for this. If i log in to my mailaccount I can see all the emails, same goes for my mobile devices. That´s how i know thunderbird doesn´t display all the messages. My question: Did anyone else encounter this problem? Did I analize this correctly or did I overlook something? I don´t want to change to another provider. I always liked thunderbird for being simple and clean. But downgrading won´t be a sustainable solution either I guess. Thanx for your help. Have a nice day.

Hi,

I am looking for the option to have each email row display ~3-5 lines of preview text directly under the subject line in inbox pane. Without it, it's very difficult to manage the email load.

How do I do that?

It would be great if you could help me restore the view and, consequently, access to my email accounts in Thunderbird under the circumstances described. Thank you!

Hi, I recently transferred my Thunderbird email to a new Mac. Everything showed up including new emails. But none of my important subfoldersfolders under the inbox showed up. I have all folders on my old computer. Can you guide me on how to recover them or export them to new device? Thank you!

At the start of last week Thunderbird started to be very laggy to the point it is almost unusable.

It was after the update to version 151. Running on MacOS Sequoia

I have tried a number of remedies to try and resolve the issue:

• Compacting mail folders
• Repairing mailboxes
• Clearing the cache
• Rebuilding the search index
• Restarting in trouble shooting mode (this caused Thunderbird to hang)
• I also tried installing the daily build release to see if the issue was resolved

None of the actions above solved the problem. I would very much appreciate any help or experience others have had.

When I send an email, a window pops up that shows the sending progress. Emails appear to send and save to the sent folder just fine, but the window doesn't close and will remain open until I press the cancel button. Is it possible to fix this?

Thunderbird in the past showed a red number above the dock icon telling me I had so many new emails. The newest version I now have does not do that and I cannot find a setting for that. Anyone know how to get the number back????
