My one iCloud email account has been working fine in TB for months. Today sometime TB (115.8.0) began unsubscribing all but a few of my iCloud email folders, including "Sent", "Trash" &c. All other email accounts in the client are unaffected. I resubscribed all of the folders, but they keep unsubscribing - that is, the subscribe process isn't holding and the folders it retains seem random. All the mail and folders on iCloud.com are intact, but TB will show them (some or most of them) briefly, then unsubscribe all but a few. I've tried deleting the account entirely (including data in Thunderbird folder) and re-adding - the problem persists. I've been bale to solve this one. Anybody?

I have established a group in Thunderbird. I want to send a group email to all the individuals in my group. I believe that in the past I could click on the group name in the address book and have all the emails within the group come up in the To line of the email. Now I have to click on the group and then on each individual, which sends their email to the To line, but then when I click on the second person, the email is sent to the individual in the To line of a new email. How can I choose at one time all the emails of individuals in the group?

After upgrade to TB 91, Tb opened as if new, asking for setup info. I entered my email and it downloads new messages but all former emails/folders do not appear. No hidden attributes on profile, and profile folder is the original, as the create date is correct (7 yrs ago) and the size is appropriate and the size and date of last use is updated every time I open TB and get some new emails. I did a search in TB and it finds former emails in their correct folders ! But TB will not open these emails, I have tried. I can only view them in the search window. (Former files were compacted) Since the profile folder is correct, does anyone know how I can get normal access and display the pre update folder/emails?

The spell checker is constantly using English (USA) and not English (UK). No matter what I set it to it reverts. I suspect every time there is an update it does this and it is extremely annoying for anyone living this side of the pond (In the UK).
PLEASE can we have English (UK) by default. I notice when you add it to the list of languages in settings the USA version cannot be deleted.
Dear all I was excited when I read about "CardDAV address book support" of the new version 91. How can I use this? Regards and thanks.

TBird version: 91.4.1 OS: Linux Mint Debian Edition (Debbie) / Cinnamon 5.0.7
Settings: Account Settings > Copies & Folders > Mesage Archives
Current setting is "Keep messsage archives in: Other [set to 'Archive' folder on IMAP mail server] - see settings-1.png Archive options = A single folder - see settings -2.png
Issue: when I archive from my inbox, the mails go into Yearly folder; I want the emails to go into a single folder.
I have tried to reset the configuration multiple times and restarted Thunderbird multiple times, issue still remains. Your assistance is appreciated. Let me know if you need additional information. Thanks!

The message will be sent using the current From field and settings from identity ------------" In addition to no links being "live" in received messages that are in my Inbox, there are no longer options available to "reply" or "forward" etc.!
I haven't a CLUE how to troubleshoot this and have never had this problem before in the 3 years I've used Thunderbird?

I'm using Thunderbird 87.0b3 (32 bit) on a 64 bit PC I recently deleted an email and saw the message:
“Compact Folders. The messages you have deleted can be purged from disk. This operation will save you 202MB of disk space. Select the option below to let Thunderbird do this automatically without asking you.
[] Remove message deletions automatically and do not ask me. Proceed Cancel”
This message confused me. It was entitled “Compact Folders”, but then stated it would PURGE messages from my disc. Without ticking [] Remove message deletions automatically, I selected “Proceed”. I was very relieved to see that messages were compacted but none of my messages in “Trash” had been deleted.
I strongly suggest that this message should be rewritten to say: Compact folders. If you allow Thunderbird to compact your folders this operation will save xxx MB of disk space. Select the option below to let Thunderbird do this automatically without asking you. [] Compact folders automatically and do not ask me.

Hi, In the new version of Thunderbird, the folder pane, despite having been set as directed, is invisible until I pass my cursor over it, and so is all the mail in the inbox invisible unless I swipe over it. Once I have written an email, both lists revert to this invisible appearance again. This is quite irritating. I would like to see the lists constantly as normal without having to continually swipe over them to make them appear.
Is there some way to stop this from happening?
Thank you

HI,
I am trying to get my email message list to have the same vertical view as I did with Outlook instead of the spread-out view that Thunderbird uses as default. I wanted this compact so I can view the message in a larger window in vertical view. I have a screenshot with two examples. The top portionos Thunderbird and the bottom is Windows Mail (I didn't use Outlook as I uninstalled it, but the format is nearly the same view in WM). To read the subect/sender I have to drag that column to the left to see the contents and it's off-putting. The left column in WM with message windos is the view I want.
Thnx, Tom
I would like to uninstall the 2nd Thunderbird and not disturb anything else.How do I go about it Please?

Since Verizon switched to AOL I have had email problems. I have two verizon.net addresses and one tampabay.rr.com. After finding help in the forum for creating a temporary app password I have been able to send Verizon email but not receive. The tampabay.rr.com works for sending and receiving. I have tried multiple times to fix but one of two things happen: dialog box says "sending email" but doesn't complete, or it continues to ask for a new password. AOL web mail works fine. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

When I try to read Inbox emails, they open in Write mode. I have checked Account Settings> Copies & Folders, and it shows "keep draft messages in:" Drafts folder for the account. If I copy the emails to the Local Folders Inbox, they open in read mode, not write mode. How do I get the Inbox to not think it holds drafts?

I'm doing some Mailmerges and use the "send later" option. But although I can see the messages in the Outbox, the "Send Unsent Messages" option is greyed out. Also, if I restart Thunderbird, a dialog pops up asking me whether I want to send unsent messages, I click "Send now", but nothing happens; the unsent messages remain in the Outbox. The same thing happens if I create a message and use the "Send later" option. Any idea how I can fix this? It's only just started happening; previously, this feature worked just fine.
I cannot send emails. My toolbar has disappeared. Since the last update it doesn't work.

When I open my email, then go to my Bulk Mail folder sometimes I get a message "Server IMAP.mail Yahoo Mail.com has disconnected. Server may have gone down, or maybe a network problem. I mentioned this to a Rogers tech and he said it is not their problem - probably a software/programme problem. Any ideas?
