When I press send, the little box 'sending message' appears along with the blue line, but it doesn't progress beyond that even after a very long wait. SMTP settings have been checked and are correct.

Currently, Thunderbird only downloads my emails when it's open. That means that, after a week away from home, it can take 15 minutes or more for all emails to totally download. How can I make it do this in real time, as does my phone or my Cogeco Webmail?

I have been using Thunderbird for over 10 years (currently version 152.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11). For the past few months, I have intermittently been receiving duplicate emails. What could be causing this issue, and what are the possible solutions?

I want to move email messages around in local folders, but "move" doesn't show even when enabled in settings when the account is POP3

However when using IMAP it is worse as the App keeps messing not only with the server messages an folders, but also with other devices.

Assistance with Read Receipt and Delivery Status Notification

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to read my email.

I have been trying to determine why I do not receive read receipts after selecting Return Receipt and Delivery Status Notification under the Options tab when sending emails. This has been an ongoing issue for more than 10 years.

I am currently using Thunderbird version 152.0 on one computer and 140.10.2 ESR (32-bit) on another. Despite trying numerous settings and troubleshooting steps over the years, I have never been able to receive a read receipt.

I would be truly grateful if you could guide me in the right direction or let me know if there is a setting I may have overlooked. If there are any troubleshooting steps or additional information you need from me, I would be happy to provide it.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I sincerely appreciate your help.

Kind regards,

Brenda

When preparing an email and leaving the TB window, it saves a copy to the Draft folder. It should delete this email in drafts after it is sent. Instead, TB creates multiple entries in the Drafts everytime going out and back in TB.

Is there a setting to change to stop this behaviour

Hi All,

I have a Galaxy S22 running android 16 and have been getting the standard email notifications for each of my inboxes.

Recently I get a duplicate notification appear for a new email almost immediately after I clear the notifications screen or swipe it away.

I was hoping an update would solve the issue but I updated it once since it began but the issue remains. I have done all the basic troubleshooting steps like cleared cache, stopped app, restarted device etc. but nothing seems to work.

I havent uninstalled the app yet because I didnt want to risk losing anything important, but if thats the next logical step aside from a configuration change I will do it as these notifications are becoming rather annoying. Help please!

Hi,

I have a domain with catch all address.

I have default send from address as john@mydomain.com. When i press new message or hit reply , from is john@mydomain. 

With catch all setup, some email would be addressed email1@mydomain.com, email2@mydomain etc...

Is it possible than when i hit reply button on email, the from address would be set to "to" address of email i'm replying to ( for example email1@mydomain.com), instead of sender defined in account settings?

Thanks, Mario

I received a spam message this morning that had a "Disposition-Notification-To" (aka Read Receipt) line that had MY email address on it. I honestly don't know why a spammer would do this - but that's not the issue. I have Read Receipts disabled, but Thunderbird generated an email (to me) and sent it to my mail host. This seems like a bug. Even if the Read Receipt has my email address on it (making it mostly harmless), Thunderbird shouldn't have generated the message. Or am I missing something? Thanks.

For some reason all my emails contained in the inbox keep moving to the trash box by themselves. I have to manually move them back to the inbox. This includes read and unread messages. anyone know how to stop this? V 152.0 64 bit.

I am running 152.0 (aarch64) on MacOS Tahoe.

I have noticed lately that Sent mail is often marked as unread. I can mark the folder read, yes, but I am wondering whether this is a bug or a feature. If it's a feature, I don't understand the benefit.

But specifically, I believe the bug/feature may be isolated to mail you send to yourself. I often will send myself reminders or links for later perusal, and I believe this may be part of the issue I'm identifying.

The presumption being if I sent a message, I have read it and therefore marking it unread isn't really useful.

Anyone notice this, and am I missing something (like a setting)?

Thanks!

New to Thunderbird.

I have added a Gmail account to Thunderbird. I select a message in Inbox, right click > Move To > Local Folder

It seems to work. It creates a copy in Local Folder.

However, a few seconds later, the message reappears in the Inbox. The message in Local Folder is still there, confirming that copy is made successfully.

Also, the message is still in Gmail account when viewed from Google's Gmail. It's clearly working like Copy rather than Move.

This is frustrating. Is it a bug?

Hi All,

ok, so just clicked retrieve messages and as they came in we had a power cut.

Rebooted the PC and all messages are there, but 2 copies ... I deleted one copy, but I can't delete the other ..... and they're all empty.

All the highlighted messages in the image will not delete. Any new ones that come in are fine, but these simply won't go away.

Any ideas?

cheers, Ross
