Seems after the latest update Thunderbird will not receive some emails. It has stopped receiving emails coming from some cell phones and some .com emails. Some cell phone emails work and others that previously did do not anymore. I do not understand the random situation. No settings have been changed nor is there any setting to correct this. I even reinstalled Thunderbird.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

I am trying to do a mass mailing in Thunderbird to about 2015 libraries, with another one to come. I followed all the instructions carefully and generated all the messages and they went into my outbox, with a "send later" command. Then this morning I entered the command to empty the outbox. I immediately began getting an error message that I could only send 50 messages an hour. Feeling like the sorcerer's apprentice, I closed thunderbird, whcih stopped the bleeding. Now I have 1350 messages in the outbox which thunderbird did not try to send.

Fixing up this mess is going to be complicated, particularly with respect to the messages it did try and fail to send (about 750 of them.) But I could make some real progress if I could figure out how to send 50 of the unset messages at a time from the outbox. I have the first 50 out of the 1350 selected right now, but I can't figure out how to get them sent. HELP! Thanks in advance.

Good Day,

For the last few weeks, when using Thunderbird on Windows and writing a draft email, when clicking on the button to create a link, the draft email window freezes. This also happens if I use the menu bar Insert -> Links...

All other Thunderbird windows remain functioning, and I can effectively continue working, but the frozen draft window will remain on screen until closed through Task Manager.

This only happens when creating a Link, not inserting other objects, like an Image. This problem also does not happen with Thunderbird on Ubuntu.

I am running version 115.10.1.

Thanks in advance for any tips that could be of help.

Using Thunderbird on Linux I cannot delete any local folders, when I try to delete them I get more copies of the folders on reopening Thunderbird, after the system says it is "not responding" and I close it down. I have tried several times and now have multiple copies of the local folders I've tried to delete.

I sent an email with multiple BCCs and no CCs or TOs, I put myself as one of the BCCs.

I did not receive it and I do not think anybody else did as well since I asked a few people.

The email is in the sent folder. I tried forwarding the email from my sent folder to myself as CC, and that worked. I also tried fowarding as BCC, and that worked.

So what is going on? Is BCC working? How can I know for certain? Do I need to foward the email as BCCs to all my BCCs to get this to work?

Thanks for your help.

I am using Thunderbird and have a Lnux Mint 21.2 Cinnamon operating system. Recently I started using Surfshark vpn, which has blocked the port 587, making it impossible to send e-mails. I have tried using ports 465 and 2525 but without sucess, and apparently it is not possible to set up a split tunnel for Thunderbird. Do you know of any way I can get around this problem?

I created a signature years ago. With the last Thunderbird update, the signature font (and image) shrunk in size. I would like the signature to match the font size of the message text, like it used to. I can't find any information about that, or any explanation as to why it shrunk.

I am trying to clean up my inbox. I have come to the realization that there are two kinds of junk mail:

    * SPAM - unsolicited email I never asked for 
    * JUNK - newsletters that I subscribed to but don't want to keep past 30 days or so
I want the spam mails gone immediately but the junk emails that are newsletters I actually subscribe to I want them to have a limited lifetime so that they are deleted after 30 days or so. 

Is there a way to do this in Thunderbird?

If not could this functionality possibly be implemented in future versions?
