I don't find in the on-line documentation any method to--when composing the body of an e-mail message--start new line without starting a new paragraph.

What I want is in a sense the opposite of the non-breaking space. I have read that discussion.

I am asking how to enter a break, without adding the space that is use between paragraphs.

For some reason after the last update I have been getting multiple inbox.conf(*) folders getting created (see image). I have not found a way to remove these folders. Is this a bug or a setting issue?

I have contacted support earlier and received a reply through Spectrum webmail giving me a ticket ID 344188 and this is the first that I have had time to resume working on the problem. My email address with Thunderbird is [edited from public] @columbus.rr.com. Besides the Spectrum webmail I also have access to Gmail with the address: [edited from public] @gmail.com Other contact means are: phone [edited phone# from public] and postal mail: [edited mailing address from public community support forum]

My Thunderbird program stopped sending on about 11/3 and the last incoming mail was on 11/5/25. The folders to save emails have also gotten rearranged and some missing. I hope you can help me with Thunderbird, which I have used for many years and have donated to it an Mozella regularly for the past few years. Respectfully, Richard E. Hartle

I just installed Thunderbird on a new Win 11 Pro 64-bit install. I have some Message filters that seem to be working. However, I have a local folder a_Name and under that I have sub folders Problems, jokes, plus some more. At first, I tried to drag messages to them, and they disappeared. Then I tried to use the file move command still disappeared, then I tried to use the copy command. That worked until I tried to move a message to the folder, and everything disappeared. I have now lost some irreplaceable emails. I have used Thunderbird for years. What gives with this, and how can I fix it?

I have read what is posted on adding a folder in Thunderbird.

The problem I am experiencing is that when I select the main account and add a folder it keeps placing the folder as a sub folder of the in box not a folder or sub-folder of itself.

I am perplexed.

Thank you for your help!

When creating a new email in Thunderbird, the batch replace operation using [Ctrl]+[H] used to show the replacements in the editing window. Now, they don't appear unless I close the [Find and Replace] dialog. Even when I want to check the replacements, they don't show until I close the dialog. This seems like a bug. Is there anything I can do?

Good day,

Friday Oct 31 I noticed Thunderbird downloading several copies (8 to 10) of the same email over and over into a couple account folders. Not the same email into separate folder accounts, rather 8 to 10 duplicates from whomever into the account it was sent to.

After restarting Thunderbird error box stated - "Thunderbird is already running, but not responding. The old Thunderbird process must be closed to open a new window."

After reviewing in Task Manager, no instance was running nor in the background.

I made a copies of these files onto a separate drive:

1) AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles

     and profiles.ini

2) AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles

=

I uninstalled Thunderbird (v 140.4.0) and did a new install, this was v 140.4.0esr

Thunderbird did open with the new install.

However it will only display the Email Account Folders and Not any of the previous emails.

It was looking into the appropriate folder, but not loading the data.

On one account I changed the location to read the profile containing the emails with no change via: Account Settings/Server/Local Settings.

I can tell by the size of the folder in the default profile, it does contain the email data, I just need it to load it.

I don't think uninstalling Thunderbird 140.4.0esr and re-installing v 140.4.0 would make any difference??

Very Interesting - any thoughts to remedy?

Thanks - Drew

I just got a new PC running Windows 11. 64mb RAM, Intel i9 with 24 cores, 2TB M2 SSD for the OS drive. I did a clean install of the latest Thunderbird (144.01). I copied over my profiles from my old PC which was running Windows 10. I've done the profile move many times in the past without issue.

I've had no issues whatsoever with my Comcast mailbox's. They are also setup for POP. In the 3 days or so I've been running this my two gmail mailbox's have gotten corrupted multiple times. The error reported is that Thunderbird cannot write to the mailbox. There is over a terabyte of free space and I've triple checked the permissions (which work fine some of the time). I run Bitdefender and have used their email extension but have completely removed that. Repairing the inbox works for a while but then the error returns.

I noticed there was another thread about connecting to gmail being very slow. Connecting to gmail is definitely slower than connecting to Comcast for me though nowhere near as bad as described in the other thread.

Am open to any suggestions as to what I might try to resolve this. Thanks much.

I have a problem with Thunderbird in Kubuntu 24.04.3. The drag and drop of mails from one folder to another, e.g. from inbox to a sub folder, doesn't always work. If I just start Thunderbird and begin dragging emails it works fine, but if I minimize the Thunderbird window and do some other stuff. Then when I go back in Thunderbird, the drag and drop of mails has disappeared. And the only way I get it back is ending Thunderbird and start it up again.
