Hi, I did something stupid. I accidentally deleted an entire year's worth of emails. I was in the process of archiving them, and mistakenly thought that the originals had been left in the inbox. I thought I needed to re-archive them, so I deleted the copies from the archive folder, and then - this is the stupid part - emptied the trash in the archive folder. When I went back to the inbox to re-archive the emails, I realized they were no longer there. I have not compacted the folder. Is there any way to recover the deleted emails?

Bonjour Depuis qlqs temps j'ai un dossier Envoyé et Sent message Je souhaite supprimer le dossier Sent message et je n'y arrive pas Comment faire ? Salutations

After I read a new message in my Inbox, it seems to disappear from the Inbox. It still shows up in All Mail, and I can find it using the search function, but it no longer appears in my Inbox. Pixel 9a, Android v16 OS. Thanks

Thread email responses not realistically visible!

A new email comes in, it is in bold.

A RESPONSE to my own response comes in, and it looks completely normal! An underline is not "noticeable" enough!

A NEW EMAIL (brand new, or in a thread) should (obviously) generate the same optical indicator -- BOLD.

This is, frankly, embarrassing and pathetic. I'm really mortified at how this company presents itself as "a family" of "volunteer friends and community members" who are "happy to share their time" to "kindly solve the issues [we] have" when the reality is that everyone knows Thunderbird is broken, buggy, Windows Vista-tier technology maintained by a corporation actively pushing AI companions on its browser users but legions of Reddit upvotes and moderation manipulation obfuscate the level to which the client:

-fails to retrieve emails -fails to adjust to user settings -is obtuse and difficult to understand -is easily compromised by manipulative technology (BitDefender STILL has "administrative control" over Thunderbird MONTHS after being totally removed from my PC and after numerous "fixes") -fails to connect to the internet itself, despite all other programs on the PC doing so -fails to operate on even the level of the old, now-sunsetted Windows Mail program

And the responses to these grievances are condescension and gaslighting that demonstrate why the stereotype of programmers as "divorced men in their 50s" exist. I have seen people accused of "being angry," "making problems where there are none," and "misunderstanding" Thunderbird. If users do not understand Thunderbird or your documentation... that is because YOU have failed to properly DOCUMENT or present its UI/UX features, and shows YOU are poor programmers with overinflated egos.

Honestly, I sincerely hope Mozilla was purchased secretly by a crypto scheme or something. Because if these are the same people, all along? The sheer small amount of power it takes to corrupt is so pathetically small to me that this isn't even a villain arc, it's like seeing someone take a collection plate and just hold on to it and claim it was a master plan.

Go FireFox yourselves.

Web info says plenty that does not exist. Eg Showing a context menu with "Delete selected" The web says can delete emails with delete or shift delete. It crosses the text out BUT does not delete any emails. Similarly emptying the spam folder is supposed to happen off the right click context menu. Nothing happens except last entry is highlighted.

Ideally I want to select a group of emails in the inbox with the find option then ctrl/A to select them all then delete key to clear them from the inbox. NB. None of these emails are still on the server, just in thunderbird.

Bonjour, j'ai posé la même question et je remercie M. David pour sa réponse, mais j'ai dû mal exprimer mon problème, aussi je lui serais reconnaissant de bien vouloir lire le document ci-joint, où je reformule autrement mes deux questions. Bien cordialement, Guy ROBIN. Hello, I asked the same question and I thank Mr. David for his answer, but I must have expressed my problem badly, so I would be grateful if he would read the attached document, where I rephrase my two questions differently. Kind regards, Guy ROBIN.

When I go to delete a message lately, I click the delete button and it checks mail instead of deleting the message. I might be going crazy but 30 years of hitting the same button has messed me up.

The messages do not show in the email folders. it happened after I tried to delete some folders I didn't need. The folders have an icon next to them that lists the number of messages in the folder. When opened, most of the folders say "No message found."

I have lost my SEND button. I have read several previous responses to this question, but following the solutions offered does not get the purported result. I don't get a Menu Bar after Toolbars. At age 96 I'm too old for this malarkey. Call me on my cell phone if you wish. [edited phone# from community support forum] FWN

以前のサンダーバードでは出来ていた物と思いますが、 送信済トレイと受信トレイの同じスレッドの物全てを同時に開きたいのですが、どうすれば良いか教えてください。

IN ENGLISH I think this was possible in previous versions of Thunderbird, but I would like to open all items in the same thread in my Sent and Inbox at the same time. Can you tell me how to do this?

Hello there, I have troubles signing into my email account on Thunderbird. I have a new laptop, therefore installed the program again, as I used it on my old laptop too. When I wanna sign up my email though, it gives me an error message that reads "Anmeldung auf dem Server fehlgeschlagen. Eventuell sind Konfiguration, Benutzername oder Passwort nicht korrekt". I'm writing in English here, since the Support site won't allow me to use the German site for whatever reason. Finding this contact form was also hard. Anyways, the German text translates roughly into "sign in didn't work, probably configuration, user name or password are incorrect". My password is correct, my e-mail is correct, I double and triple checked. It wants a full name from me. My mail account is from t-online and doesn't have a user name. So I entered my full name. Didn't work. I entered my t-online user ID, didn't work. I used only my first name. Didn't work. I tried out both IMAP and POP3 configurations, both lead to the same error message. According to my t-online account, IMAP is supported. One more thing: Before selecting IMAP or POP3, I received the message that my data was in fact found in the Mozilla ISP data base. Please help. Thanks!
