Hello, I still have this problem, does anyone know how to fix this?

Cannot delete a folder under my Local Folder. I have deleted it several times, and deleted the trash also, but no matter how many times I delete the folder, and restart Thunderbird, it still comes back.

Thanks, GDR

Hi. For a long time, I've noticed that emails I send from home are sent, but those I try to send with the same settings do not get sent when connected to the Internet in 4 out of 4 cafes. My ISP, Zen, hasn't been able to explain why. I've tested whether Google VPN blocks it somehow, and it doesn't. I normally use Thunderbird. Today, I found that, in the same cafe, messages I tried to send using Thunderbird failed to send, whereas there was no problem with GMail, Proton Mail or Outlook. Any suggestions?

An issue I have just noticed is that when I send emails they weren't getting copied to the accounts "Sent" folder despite the box to request this being ticked. I have now discovered that on another settings page it had the "Sent" folder set to None and I had to explicitly associate "Sent" with the sent folder in the account before emails were copied. It would be helpful if when ticking "copy sent emails to sent folder" there was a warning if it was associating "Sent" with "None".

Just had a couple of issues with sending emails from Thunderbird Android ... I don't tend to send many emails from my phone so didn't notice the issues for some time!

A few weeks ago I ended up changing my email server's password - I updated my PC Thunderbird to reflect the change for incoming and outgoing servers and then thought I did the same on the Android Thunderbird - but I only changed the password for fetching - perhaps missed the sending password as in the Android version its in the account menu rather than a separate "outgoing server" menu item.

Everything seemed ok as I got emails on my phone but yesterday someone complained I'd not replied to some questions and I was sure I'd replied to their email. Looking on my phone today I noticed that there were a handful of unsent messages (including this reply) in the Thunderbird Outbox.

Basically when I sent each message the connection to the outgoing server failed due to the now out of date password but instead of giving any warning that the connection had failed it had just silently moved the message to Outbox where it remained as the outgoing server connect attempts would continue to fail. Having some form of warning that server connections were failing due to incorrect password would be useful - I think the Windows version will ask for a new password to be entered if a login with the current one fails. Note: the checks when setting the password means you cannot configure the account with a password that fails but if the password changes you get no warning

I recently stopped receiving my Optusnet emails via Thunderbird, although I can still receive them via Optus webmail. As previous users have found out, changes were made to Optus's platform which didn't support Thunderbird, all without notifying customers. However, after lengthy discussions with Optus, they have assured me that they now support Thunderbird and after checking all the settings I should be able to receive emails via Thunderbird. However this is not the case and I am still relying on webmail. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance. aandr1

For the last couple weeks my new unread emails have not been displaying in the list or the preview pane. This is only happening for my IMAP account and not the 2 Gmail accounts (which are also IMAP). I see the "new message" count but no new messages are displaying. I see TB connecting, logging in and opening my IMAP inbox without errors. IMAP is configure according to my Network Solutions email provider (Port 993, SSL/TLS, normal password). After closing and opening TB several times sometimes the messages load. Sometimes once a new email is received that and other new messages will display.

The uploaded image shows my inbox with a new message count of 47, quick filter set to unread and no messages displaying.

Not sure if this is related but TB also is having occasional issues copying messages to the sent folder after sending.
