I have messages which the message list shows as Date 2024-07-01, 18:00.

But Search Messages with "Date is 2024-07-01, 18:00" fails to find any messages.

Is this a known bug? Any workaround?

I must move all my personal emails from my Thunderbird email on my work PC to my personal Thunderbird email on my MacBook. I would like to combine them and have access to all at once.

I have moved all my personal emails on my work PC into one folder labeled “Personal.”

I would be ok moving the personal emails to the local TB drive on Mac if recommended.

All I can seem to find when I search the knowledge base is how to move Thunderbird from old to new. And in those instructions they overwrite the profile on new. I am already actively using Thunderbird on my Mac so what I must do is merge pc TB to Mac TB but I have not been able to find instructions. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on a Mac so I’m re-teaching myself. I’m much more fluent on the PC right now.

For me there is nothing that compares to Thunderbird. I’ve been using TB for 25 years and have not found anything that compares.

Thank you for you assistance!

Hello, this error message appears regularly. The accounts are managed in maildir format.

What is the problem?

Hello, dear volunteer! I am experiencing a problem with Thunderbird (Version 128.8.1esr, 64-bit) in that I am unable to use it to send messages. Regardless of the message length (whether long or short), I consistently receive back the same error diagnostic, as shown in the image I have uploaded.

Could you please help me with this issue?

Thank you! Armando

N.B.: For the time being, I have no trouble whatsoever in receiving messages.

As of yesterday, 3/18/25, I can no longer dismiss or pause and calendar notifications. The drop down works but the dismiss or pause doesn't work. All I can do is close the Window. This seemed to start after a Microsoft update/restart. Gee, who'd a thunk it? Jeff

Every time I read an email, a tab shows up at the top of my screen. Soon there is a long string of tabs. What is the purpose of these? I have no use for them and they confuse me. How can I delete them all easily and quickly, such as using a keyboard shortcut?

I moved a folder to archives on my local folder. However, the folder and emails are missing. I check the local folder where the messages are to be archived and they aren't there. Any suggestions?

I've been using the Calendar for a long while I think I set it up when using the Lightening add-on. I used to be able to add a Custom Email reminder from the Set up Reminders dialog. The Choose a Reminder Action had the option to send an email. This option has disappeared. The only thing I have done is to add a Google Calendar so I can use it along with my phone's calendar. The events created before this issue still show the email notification on the tab.

Can anyone explain what has happened to cause this and what action I can take to get the email reminders back?

Sometimes we accidentally open a blank message. I do that! But, would it make sense that TB not present a modal to confirm, if the content is blank -- or at least have that as a tuneable parameter. In some cases, where you accidentally cut (erase) content, you might want the undo - I get that - but most times, I just want the window to close.

I have Unified email set up to show all emails received and sent from 4 accounts. One of these accounts allow me to move my emails to a subfolder, but the others do not.

When I try to move the emails to the subfolder thunderbird simply ignores the action. Sometimes it lets me move them when I am accessing mail from the main folder instead of the unified folder, but it is not predictable if it will work or not. The issue only began when I set up the Unified Folder, which I really like and prefer to keep in place.

The one that works is a gmail based email. The others run off of a smaller hosting company (inmotion hosting). Inmotion has no advice. Any ideas on how to solve this issue in the community or from thunderbird itself?

I have a POP account (Yahoo.) when I delete a message in Thunderbird, it disappears rather than going into the trash folder, but I'd like the option to restore an accidentally deleted email which is not now possible. If I revert to Yahoo Mail and delete an email in their format, it does go into the trash folder and can be restored. Is there a settng which will make restoring deleted emails in Thunderbird possible? (I started using Thunderbird when I was no longer able to switch my Yahoo mail to the "classic" format.)

It is annoying as when I reply to a Newsgroup I instinctively hit reply rather than Followup. It also happens to be the first button in the list compounding the issue. Thankfully my default newsgroup email address is invalid so my reply doesn't go to the victims email account.

Some years ago I managed to remove this button, presumably with an Addon that no longer works. Are there any Addons that still work?

Due to issues with Thunderbird and starting in troubleshoot mode this has undone the removal of this button.

Can anyone give me a clue how I can remove this troublesome button?

Hello,

Please apologize my errors, english is not my mothern language. So, my vocabulary may have some lack, and the terms i use to describe some menu's elements are not the one used on the english version.

Last friday, Win 10 update itself. Cause a lot of trouble. I've uninstall this update and all seem to be well again. With Thunderbird, the main problem was i was unable to send a message : smtp problem (which is not due to thunderbird nor from my mail provider, but from W10's update) But there still a problem with my beloved thunderbird : - the templates i use are inactives. When i double-click on them, nothing happen. Even with right-click, "new message from template" : nothing

The only way to use them is to right-clic > open > open in a new [tab/window] > copy and paste in a new message... Even "Modify as a new message" is not working except if i first open it in a new window (and then, when in this new window, CTRL+E).

Before that mess, i was running 128 ESR (up to date).

In desperation, i've done that : - Testing new install of 128 ESR with no uninstall of previous version : same problem - Testing new install of 136, with no uninstall : same problem - Done these both again with uninstall : same problem.

Restarting my computer each time, off course (some much time lost from this morning... ) That's feel me crazy !

I will be grateful to have some help.

PM

PS : W10 because it's my work's computer. No choice for the moment

Cannot send emails, thunderbird comes up with cannot send box and message about trying changing authenticate password with normal password but still cannot get to work.

I noticed this morning that my Thunderbird tree no longer had a Junk folder. I restarted the program and Junk appeared, with stuff in it, but right-clicking the Junk folder no longer brings up the usual list of options, including Empty Junk. Instead, right-clicking seems to temporarily slow-down or 'hang' Thunderbird, a condition it does recover from in 10 seconds or so. I can open the Junk folder, select all messages and delete them, but something isn't right. Any ideas, anyone?

Update: Realized I didn't mention the version I was running, it was 133.0.3, under Windows 10, but when I opened Help to find this I was invited to do an update... so I did. When the 'update' was complete, I checked and am now running 128.6.0esr (64-bit). That seems strange. Oh, the same Junk problem persists under the 'new' version.

Update #2: Evidently the drop-down menu does eventually appear, if you just wait for it... anywhere from 5 seconds to 30 seconds or so. Normally the right-click is instantaneous. What could have happened, I wonder?

I am automatically filtering messages using the message filter feature.

I cannot open emails that have been sorted into a specific folder. The email list is displayed in the tree on the left, but when I click on the relevant email, the message pane on the right remains completely blank. Although the email has been received, I cannot read its contents at all.

Even if I double-click the email in the list to open it in a new tab, the contents are still not visible.

Emails sorted into other folders display without any issues. I tried right-clicking the affected folder → Properties → Repair Folder, but the issue remains.

Is there a way to fix this?

When Thunderbird did an update on my computer to vr.128.8.0 (Nubula) in February, my Thunderbird Contact list and Folders were deleted. Why did this happen and how can I restore my Folders & Contact list?

Since the latest MacOS update to 15.3.2 I have had a consistent problem with Thunderbird. After the computer has been asleep for long periods (e.g., overnight), emails I want to send will not recognize the outgoing server. When I quit T-bird and restart the problem is gone. This is true for 5 email addresses on two servers - one of the servers is an @att.net address hosted on Yahoo. The problem doesn't happen after short periods of computer sleep. I'm on an M4 Macbook Pro.
