Thunderbird did an auto update this morning and failed to restart. I get a message that says this version is incompatible with the last. I pay over 20 bills from folders I created in it the applications inbox, house billing info and passes and links to the pages and responses, etc. This is a MUST for me that this thing works and works well. Until this morning it was flawless in that capacity. My only fix after extensive research has been to download the newest version from the website, install it and it starts fine...until I close it, then it fails to restart with the same identifier. Each of the two times I have closed it I go through the same thing upon an opening attempt.

I'm now looking at different mail options as I'm on SSI and have one shot at paying bills a month and can't afford to be any later than SSI already makes me, though my creditors have been thus far understanding. I now have to keep my computer on and the app open until I'm paid on the 9th so I can be sure to be able to pay my bills. I don't know what you folks are shooting for by tinkering with an already flawless system but you missed this time I'm afraid. Leave it alone or let us keep our working system while you offer "new and improved" to those who like to play with new toys. Give me back my old working system before I'm forced to look elsewhere for a way to do my monthly duty to my creditors. Sincerely, Arthur Kelly

I am using Thunderbird on Windows 11 and I have foolishly allowed it to update itself to release 128.1.0.esr without checking the bug reports first. Now it turns out that this release removed the possibility to search the calendar for past events, which is absolutely essential for me. There is a Bugzilla entry for this but it is bogged down in discussions about who needs which date ranges to search in and how many instances to show for recurring events, so I don't expect a solution any time soon. How can I revert Thunderbird to the last release which still has that functionality? I have regular backups of my userprofile folder in case it helps.

Hallo, ich habe einen neuen PC mit neu Win 11. Da habe ich Thunderbird neu installiert. Alle meine Mails sind bei Web.de gespeichert. Durch die neue Installation sind alle persönlich angelegten Ordner unter dem Ordner: "Lokale Ordner" verschwunden. Wo kann ich diese wiederfinden? Liebe Grüße Hans

Hi On my Computer I have some locale folders with a lot of mails. Have installed Thunderbird on my Android Mobile and want to see all these locale folders.

Just downloaded Thunderbird onto pc running Windows 10 and tried to link it to my wife's custom domain email that is hosted by GoDaddy with Microsoft 365 email. Thunderbird recognizes her domain based email address and sets everything up but when it tries to connect and get emails from the Microsoft 365 on GoDaddy I get a notification window shown in the attached picture. Godaddy is no help as they don't support third party programs. Have been using Thunderbird for years on my Mac so thought it would be great for my wife on the pc. Thanks for any help.

I have tried to reinstall Thunderbirds which I have used for many years. I cannot seem to get the Thunderbirds symbol on my list of apps or appearing at the top of my screen where I should be able to simply click on it to enable me to read or write emails.

I am having a problem transferring my att secure mail keys into thunderbird. I created a test meaasge from my mail account to another email. The popup box asked for my outbound server and I entered the secure mail key and it was rejected. How do I transfer my secure mail key into saved passwords in thunderbird?

I'm trying to download Thunderbird, but am having a problem. Every time I click the download button, I'mm being taken to a donation page. I gave a donation, but still have not been able to download the software. Am i doing something wrong?

When I download Thunderbird I get "Thunderbird Setup 128.1.1esr." If I click on that it says extracting but doesnt show where its extracting to. If I right click and extract from there I get a setup file but when I click on that to setup I get a message "Sorry Thunderbird cant be installed. This version of Thunderbird requires Microsoft Windows 10 x 64 or higher.." I have Windows 10 x 64. This whole problem started when I couldnt save attachments and I read online a solution which was reinstalling Thunderbird. Any advice?

Since the update of Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit) it freezes every couple minutes on a profile with 3 email accounts. One - no longer used - has about 2300 emails and is kept to access old emails.

The second is my primary Gmail account with 4351 emails in Inbox and 2234 in Outbox. Inbox shows 1.2 gb and Outbox 911 mb. The freezing has caused very significant challenges with reading and sending emails due to the freezing. As it is my primary email it is extremely concerning. And I am in the middle of a couple huge projects so I am getting a lot of emails.

The third is minimal with 26 emails.

I know it is not the number of accounts in the profile as I have 4 other profiles with more accounts and none of them freeze at all. (I manage/monitor other websites and keep them all separate.)

Also as others have noted the Filter function is doing weird stuff and rarely works properly anymore.
