when I use Firefox continuously for a long time..., it’s it’s continuously become freeze and kick me out ....I need a solution of this...as soon as possible. .And i also need the group folder create feature like chrome

I've been using Thunderbird for years with little problems. Until now. It won't let me compress as its saying I don't have any space left. Is there any way email files can be deleted to free up the space? I've deleted virtually every application from my drive and it still won't work. Many thanks Paul

When I highlight multiple messages for deletion; it can take up to a minute to respond; when I am working with gmail or proton, the deletion is immediate. When I am accessing Reagan with browser, the multiple deletions are also immediate. Appears to definitely be a handoff issue. Suggestions? I use Thunderbird on 2 win11 os and 2 linix mint 2.1 machines. I only delete and store to local on one machine (win11) ver/build 23H2: 22631.6199.

I keep email tabs open if I am going to have to reference the email for some reason -- shipping product tracking emails, legal documents, threads of conversations that are ongoing. Every so often, Thunderbird decides to open with all of the tabs blank. It's unrecoverable, and I have to search each of the tabs I really needed to open up again after spending time X ing the blank ones.

I've been filing about this bug for years now. Mostly what I get is a bored moderator/mentor telling me why that isn't a priority, and how I should change my emailing behavior. I just lost track of several legal documents and am anticipating working for hours to get them back on top.

I'm very sick of it.

hi :-)

My Thunderbird uses between 19 and 34 GB of RAM. It's cyclical (with a period of about 10 minutes).

What do you suggest?

Do I need to perform a performance diagnostic? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiling-thunderbird-performance

Do I need to follow all the steps listed on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Memory_Usage_Problems#Diagnosis_Steps, or can I skip some of them?

Hi All,

Thuderbird 140.12.0esr (aarch64)

iMac 24Gb M4 Chip macOS Tahoe 26.4

When I request a search through Unified Folders Inbox for 10 email addresses using Quick Filter, CPU goes to 80% or more, and response is 10-15 seconds. Main search appears to be ok. Only add-on was a printer service but has been disabled and problem still remains. In troubleshooting mode, search still causes high CPU, even though I can only search one email address. Just started about 2-3 days ago (around 17-18 June).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

So ever since the desktop browser got updated i have been experiencing critical crashes and lag where my pc screen freezes and then goes to black until i restart my graphics card and quit firefox in addition to tabs crashing and very weird performance issues overall, any fixes for this issue?

receives no email. sends no email. my server received many emails since then. everything else seems to work. it is not my server as I have Outlook, which received the emails. Only thunderbird is locked-up.

When I try to delete mail from Deleted folder (even if there is just 1 email), the thuderbird gets unresponsive. Same when i try to select few emails (headers) for deletion or moving to another folder. Running on Windows 11

we are using firefox std version in more than 15000 machines in our organisation, recentlty we migrated to all machines to ESR version, but now we are getting escallation, the application working very slow and not opening sometimes

I have a new laptop and installed Thunderbird. It shows lots of messages in all the folders, but will not show any messages in the message screen. It just continues to show the opening logo

It says that the folder is in use by some other operation. I tried a Force Quit and a restart and neither worked. Please help.

His OS is 10.13 and his TB is 115.18.0. He kept the old Mini because he was running an ancient version of Photoshop that ran a plugin that is not available for Adobe Creative Cloud.

Robert was a sculptor who did large kinetic work and much of his work is still on that computer.

I am still getting his email on my iPhone, so I don't know what is going on. Unfortunately, I haven't saved his email history on my iPhone so when someone answered a similar problem a couple of years ago, the only place that email would reside is in Robert's inbox on his Mini, which I can't open.

Many thanks for your help.

before v151.0.2, didn't have a problem with firefox, now with this new release, it is really really slow, takes some time to start and load pages. what happened??

I own two computers running MacOS 10.15.7 Catalina and have Thunderbird installed on both. Until rather recently, the Thunderbird version was 140.8.1. Then I noted that it was impossible to send e-mails, and soon discovered that the cause was outdated server settings. They could not handle office365, so I installed Thunderbird 148.01 and changed to settings that should be able to do so. This worked very well on one of the computers, the one which has a fast (SSD) hard drive, but not on the other that has a slow (non-SSD) drive. The error message that I get with the slow computer is, surprisingly, the same as I got with the older Thunderbird. But I suspect that the real cause is some kind of timed-out process.

If any of you could explain what happens and tell me what to do, I would be very happy. Maybe I should choose a Thunderbird version somehere between 140 and 148?

Whenever I do anything with email I get a message "not responding" which causes a delay for a few minutes before it proceeds This occurs with almost every action Open email, delete email, browse a different folder (eg Inbox to Sent) it suddenly started happening yesterday

I have a Postfix/Dovecot server that hosts 10 of my domains from one IP.

When you open Thunderbird, it checks the domains you have preset. I have two. This happens immediately, especially if there is no new mail on the server. Everything works fine.

If you have other domain mailboxes open, and I have eight more, and you click the inbox on each one, Thunderbird stalls at the fifth mailbox, regardless of the inboxes' selected order.

tail -f /var/log/mail.log - confirms this.

I have reset or modified everything I can think of. My server is not throttling Dovecot.

This must be something internal to Thunderbird, possibly related to only using a specific mail server IP for all domains.

Google AI suggests assigning a unique local IP alias to each domain on my server so Thunderbird thinks it’s talking to 10 different machines. This seems extreme.

Any solutions?
