I'm having an issue with some of my filters not working. I've checked the several times and they should be set up correctly, but, for some reason, they don't perform their respective actions, even when I press "Run Now".

Also: I recently changed the sorting of my e-mails to be threaded by chain. I like to have all of my most recent e-mails show up at the top, but, within each thread, the most recent e-mail shows at the bottom (see the supposedly-attached image). Is there a way to flip this?

Thank you in advance.

After deleting an email (GMAIL) from any folder and emptying Trash, the email is still in "All Mail". Deleting from "All Mail" and emptying Trash still leaves the email in "All Mail" - in fact, selecting the email to be deleted in "All Mail" and then selecting "Delete" causes them to disappear and then reappear. This used to work correctly. Using !39.0.1 64 bit version. Note: I recently had to reinstall Thunderbird after a systems issue - causing me to reinstall Windows 11 and noticed the problem after that. It might be that the GMAIL "Trash" folder has been linked to "All Mail". I can delete the emails by signing on to GMAIL on the web and deleting them that way.

I have an old Thunderbird account that is no longer active but I have a huge archive of emails that I would like to be able to access. Thunderbird takes up a huge amount of space on my nearly full C drive because of this. Is it possible for me to save the archive on my D (data) drive and just have the program on my C drive. And how can I back them up. Thanks!

Hello, Mi 9 SE with MIUI 12.5.1 Android 11 RKQ1.200826.002 Thunderbird 10.0

I moved from K9 to Thunderbird some time ago without incident. In the last few days I realised I had received nothing and checked on my PC and indeed mails were waiting. I tried to send a test mail from the phone, the mail remained in the OUTBOX and I received the following error message :- "Failed to send some messages ErrnoException: connect failed: EACCES (permission denied)" I checked and this is an Android error and various articles I found that suggest necessary changes to the manifest which I am not capable to change; I am not a coder. I decided to save the configuration, delete and reinstall Thunderbird. After this and reapplying the passwords the waiting mails were delivered. I then tried to send a test message from the phone and again the same error was generated with the phone blocked again from sending or receiving.

I suspect that there was an upgrade applied with a changed manifest that broke the operation of Thunderbird with Android 11.

Can someone please verify this, it may be impacting many installations on older phones?

Many thanks!

Incoming e-mails do not always appear in the inbox when they arrive. They always do appear but there are often delays, sometimes of a few minutes, sometimes of several hours, and sometimes of many hours. At the end of the delay they always do appear, with the time at which they were sent indicated, even though that time is earlier than the time at which they appear in my inbox. I have sometimes sent e-mails to myself, as tests -- and these are also often delayed for five or ten minutes. I am not aware of any actions that I take that precipitates either the start or the end of the delay.

I recently started using Thunderbird to back up my emails, but I accidentally forgot to remove the Delete emails after transfer checkmark and all the emails on the original server (Yahoo Mail) were deleted.

I contacted Yahoo, but it seems impossible here, so is there any way to revert it on the Thunderbird side?

In the meantime, we are working on restoring the necessary emails from Thunderbird by forwarding them again.

I use the desktop version of thunderbird for my EarthLink email and after being endlessly frustrated with the EarthLink mobile app, would like to start using the Thunderbird app instead. I went through the steps to export my settings from the desktop version using the QR code. New messages are coming in, but I can't see any of the older messages on the desktop version. Is there a setting or way I can see these on the app on my phone?

I'm using Thunderbird version 128.11.0esr on my Windows 11 desktop computer.

I have many email accounts in Thunderbird and Thunderbird automatically forwards email from some of the accounts.

Occasionally I will see an error message: "Send Message Error. Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Error sending message for delivery... Please check the message and try again."

Can I trace this error back to determine which email account is causing the error?

Thank you.

After changing my AOL passwords for two accounts today, I was able to generate a login password from AOL and log into Thunderbird with my AOL accounts. However, one of the two accounts will not send email from Thunderbird, but will on my iPhone and iPad. The other AOL account is working fine. I also verified that the SMTP port is 465. So I have done everything on my end, I think there's a Thunderbird glitch.
