Forum communautaire Thunderbird

I have several accounts in Thunderbird. I have never (intentionally) used the archive option. Yet, one of my accounts now has an Archive folder that I cannot delete. No option exists when right clicking the folder and I cannot drag it to the trash. It has no emails in it, and never has. Its possible its been there a while and I just didn't notice, bu AFAIK its new.

I have gone to Account Settings Copies & Folders...and the "Keep Message Archives in:" is unchecked. Further, I checked all accounts to see if one of those might be 'checked'...just with a folder specified in a different (wrong) account. Not it.

I've restarted. I'm at a loss as to how to clean this up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thunderbird 144.01...that I upgraded to 145.0 when checking the version to report here. No change.

Somehow I have many emails on the same topic (like 40 or 50 of them, going back over several months, even years) all piled up on top of each other, and then I have to close them all one at a time when I need to switch off my PC.

It does not seem to be due to being in Conversation View. I have followed 2 or 3 videos re how to get out of Conversation View, going into settings etc, only to discover I appear to be not in it in the first place.

Is threading different from conversation view?

New laptop Win11.

Thunderbird installed and running, two differing ISP EMail addresses working.

Third address of four (fourth not yet tried) will not set, claims wrong user name/password.

This Email address (Sky as in Yahoo!) works perfectly on two other laptops under Outlook, it also works perfectly online from browser. So username/password is correct beyond doubt.

Possible complication (?) being while a Sky account address, login user name is an EMail for a different ISP's address. Did not have to do anything diff to basic login elsewhere though.

Ideas please?

Please consider a slight change in the new feature where on the bottom right we have an opportunity to click on "as read" or "delete". Great time saver, but for heaven's sake you bring up the Thunderbird anyway. Come on ! ! ! ? The short cut is so we don't have to bring it up. What good is this new feature if it is exactly the same number of clicks as if you didn't have this new feature. Walt

How to remove extraneous characters in email content? (i.e. =, 3D and sometimes others) Some google suggests changing thunderbird encoding.

(1) If that is the answer... HOW to do that and to WHAT should it be changed to?

(2) Also, When I click "Edit as new message", the extraneous characters do not show up!

(3) thunderbird 140.4.0esr (64-bit) Eclipse (Win 11, but thunderbird reports it as win10) Thanks, jason53

Example1: (= sign and new line should not be there on the line below) was made to be emailed = to you.

Example2: (3D should not be there) Password =3D xxxxxx

For the third time now I have found messages I have saved in Local folders in TRASH. I did not put them there, and the original ones in Local Folders are empty. I have had to manually move messages intended to be saved from Trash into my intended folders. I am perplexed why this is happening, as I have not chosen Compact Folders or anything. Very, very annoying. If it continues I will search for another mail tool

I redirect incoming messages into local folders for much of my incoming email. One of my primary sub folders has disappeared. I don't remember doing anything with it – at least not intentionally. It does not show in either the local or primary trash folders. It is not in the archive folder. It is not showing as a sub folder under any other local sub folder. Where did it go and how can I find it?

My wife’s Thunderbird has had problems for several weeks. To repair them, I have disconnected from our e-mail provider (Proton.me), & reconnected to it. Everything seems to be fine but her Thunderbird Inbox. There are no emails in it, but it insists there are two (2). I have tried to compact the folder & to repair the folder, but these actions have no effect. How do I get her inbox clear of this problem, so I can focus on her bigger problem?

Hi

I work in a small traditional community fishmonger shop in Scotland and we use Mozilla. I am trying to find a basic instruction manual i could print out handy for us (we are a small team and only i have experience in Microsoft emails etc but this is different ) and i am just trying to help us understand some basics priority being for email, contacts and folder daily management.

We receive a mix of online orders, customers, suppliers and much “junk” noise emails so i’m trying to help us figure out simple and easy to set things moving forward after some staff changes that impacted our “flow”😊

Any tips would be much appreciated 🙏 Thankyou Danna
