Thunderbird Community Forum

I deleted my Thunderbird account and created a new one on the same computer. I used a Profile saved on my external hard drive. The address book info was replicated. The hierarchy of folders and their emails were not replicated in the left hand pane. Is there a way to retrieve those folders with their content? Please, I am not super techno-savvy, so take me step by step. Thank you.

I newly installed Thunderbird 148 on a Windows 11 laptop (after uninstalling a previous installation under a different user). I connected to a Yahoo Mail account and downloaded all the emails from the Yahoo inbox.

Emails with attachments (.pdf and .docx) visible online in Yahoo Mail do not include these attachments when downloaded to Thunderbird.

1. Some messages come to my mobile devices but not to my Mac. 2. I watch a message down load but it doesn't end up in my inbox or junk folder. 3. Junk folder says there are 14 messages in it, but when I open it, it's empty. 4. Yes, I'm up to date with Thunderbird. Also, the Mac is up to date. Problem began before latest updates. I have shut down the Mac. I have quit the Thunderbird application. No improvement. 5. I use Comcast for my ISP.

I access Thunderbird through AOL. I have a completely separate yahoo email account which I do not access with Thunderbird. Do I need to do anything with respect to the new "authorization protocol known as OAuth2 with PKCE"?

Since the 26th of Feb. my thunderbird stopped downloading emails from any of my GMail accounts. I've accessed the email and i have a bunch of new emails there but for some reason they are not transferred to thunderbird anymore. I'm think i've installed a new thunderbird version around that time but im not really sure if that was the cause.

Also, no error message appears. it just says no new emails.

Already cleared the login details and logged again, still same issue. I'm using pop connection.

I received an email with 7 attachments. 2 of the attachments had similar filenames (not identical). When I selected "Save All" the 2 similar filenames were not saved. See screenshots for details

So here is the issue, I understand the security has been changed to OAuth2, and both the inbound and outbound settings are such. But Thunderbird wants me to log in, OKAY, it will send me the screen with my email account, but will not change after clicking "Next" to allow me to enter the password, regardless of how long I wait. If I click a second time I get the message " Edge: Too many requests"

What needs to be done?

I am trying to enter my Thunderbird account to review my emails, however, everytime I click on the Thunder bird icon nothing happens. Please help me to regain my ability to open Thunderbird. I am falling wat behind in my work.

Because gmail is removing support for "Check mail from other accounts", I'm thinking of switching to Thunderbird. The current size of my 18-yo gmail account is 62GB. But gmail is in the cloud, and profiles are on the device. Assuming Thunderbird profiles would have a similar size, this would be a nibble on my desktop, reasonable on my 1TB laptop, but half my total storage on my android Pixel 7. Can I limit my mobile's profile to the previous year or two of email? Are there other solutions? Thanks.

Hi, I found occasion when Thunderbird Android app shows incorrect timestamp of messages in Sent folder. Two screenshots are attached. One from Thunderbird Android the other from Gmail android clients. Thanks fro investigating the case, Antal Komar

I received an IMAP email as normal, from an email address that I often write with. What I always do: the IMAP inbox is forwarded move on arrival to the local inbox. It had an attachment, and I downloaded that as normal. Then after 5 minutes I wanted to start work on the reply to the message in the local inbox and ... the message was gone. Nowhere to be found. Not in the IMAP inbox (of course), not in junk, not in trash. I looked in the on-line IMAP account, and there the message was present as normal.

Then I searched for the email and there it shows: in "Inbox". And I see one strange thing that I never saw: column Message threads says: "This subthread is ignored". So that is the problem. Probably I hit accidentally some key (k ?) and this caused the "kill".

Now how to un-ignore it? There is this Help page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/ignore-threads and it says: "To un-ignore a thread that has been marked ignored, select a message in the thread, right-click on it and again select Ignore Thread. ". But right-clicking the email (in the search results) shows NO such option.

What can I do? Thanks!

I frequently get messages that are all messed up due to fonts. Lines overlap, symbols instead of characters, etc. Is there some way to have Thunderbird use some other substitute font than this? Thunderbird 140.8.0esr (64-bit) on Linux Mint Cinnamon

Hello, I have a problem.

Before an emergency move, I transferred my calendar data from my Windows 11 PC to my laptop (Windows 10). The calendars worked perfectly there; entries were added, etc. Since yesterday, after eight months, I've access to my Windows 11 PC again and am trying to transfer the calendar. It's not working.

Two of my calendar files imported, but my large company calendar file (3200kB) won't.

I now know it's too large, so I tried manually splitting it (using Notepad). Part 1 (500kB) imports, but Part 2 (488kB) doesn't. I also tried using Google Calendar, same problem. However, this calendar file works perfectly on the laptop.

What can I do? It contains data for eight months plus future dates.

today, when I clicked on the Thunderbird icon (on my desktop PC), instead of my usual window popping up, an odd looking window came up instead that asked to sign into my account using my username, email address or mobile number. But when I tried (several times), none of them were recognised and now I can't access any of my emails because now when I try I get a message that says "Edge: Too many requests" ... this is followed by a pop-up window (bottom right), that says, "Authentication Failure while connecting to server imap.aol.com. This in turn is followed by another Crash Report window (attached screenshot).

I tried uninstalling Thunderbird, deleting cookies, etc, then reinstalling ... but no change.
