TB suddenly moves messages from inbox to trash automatically without any interaction. Search through the forrum shows that it has been asked for already, see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1588804|1588804], similar postings can also be found with you search engine.

As described in other postings, the messages are moved from Inbox to trash. When moving them back manually from trash to inbox, they are moved to trash again immediately.

• it happens for the default account only,
• there're no filters at all in TB,
• junk detection is disabled,
• Settings->General Storage is all disabled,
• (account)->Settings->Server Settings has checked "move deleted messages to trash",
• (account)->Settings->Storage is all disabled,
• Inbox->Properties "Repair folder" does not help,
• Inbox->Properties "rules is set to "use account settings" (and greyd out "do not delete messages"),
• exactly same behaviour when starting TB in save mode,
• manually deleting all *.msf files (for inbox) does not help,
• manually deleting xulstore.json does not help,

Additional notes, which are not related to the problem, IMHO:

• IMAP on port 993,
• no other clients anywhere are connected to that account,
• TB configured for more than 10 accounts, more than 500 folders and sub-folders,
• host with > 16GB RAM, TB uses 3GB virt,
• problem observerd in older TB also, at least 13x.x

I'd be happy to debug/trace the problem if someone can give me detailled insructions how to start TB with debugging. Please feel free to ask for about:config settings as they are non-ambiguous and language independent ;-)

Thanks.

Linux Mint 22.3, Cinnamon Thunderbird 153.0 esr

Consistently Reproducible.

Hi

Just checking when ThunderMail and Pro will be available? I'm in need of email services for my small business and just don't want to subscribe to Google. I love Thunderbird, glad it survived so many transformations over decades and would like my subscription contribute to further development.

Can you, please provide me with at least estimated timeline?

Thank you S

I have noticed that when a .ics file is not able to be manually imported into Thunderbird via the Events and Tasks there is a way to get it to import. Simply edit the filename of the .ics file to something very short (like less than 8 characters). I'm not sure why longer and more complex .ics filenames fail but shortening the filename almost always works.

I'm trying to dump Windows and move to Linux and I need to migrate my existing mail. The Export tool says it exports accounts, messages, address books, and settings. I've done this and have my Linux Mint Thunderbird installation up and running. The problem is the only "messages" it exports is the Inbox. Not "Sent" or any of the other 25 folders I've created to organize my mail. Is there ANY tool available that will export everything and then import it into a new installation?

I for sure don't want to have to dual boot just to do email. If I can't accomplish a complete cut-over, I'll abandon Linux and stick with Windows (ugh!).

I'm actually using Mint right now and I would need to go back to Windows to get that version number. Suffice it to say, as of yesterday, it was up to date with the latest Windows version.

I found two horrible bugs in Thunderbird and the script that migrates from Seamonkey mail to Thunderbird. I just tried switching earlier this year because I really liked the way Seamonkey mail did things, but so many websites considered Seamonkey out of date and unsupported that I tried to fully switch from Seamonkey to Firefox and Thunderbird.

The migration script made one inbox from Seamonkey into two main mail folders with inboxes in Thunderbird. And my Seamonkey mail folder had not only the usual Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Junk and Trash folders, but well over a dozen specialty inboxes where incoming mail was stored after filtering. And it had more than 10 years of archived (not compressed, just old mail from Inbox and Sent) in the main folder as well. The script failed to move all the mail, in fact, didn't move any old mail, but instead made new main folder, Inbox, Sent, etc and treated the existing mail as a separate mail account in the old main folder. I tried to fix that, and then T-bird or its filter script started deleting msgs from the old mailboxes, treating them as junk or something. I had the original copies from Seamonkey, copied them again and Thunderbird axed them again. Part of the problem was that the Thunderbird migration script did not copy the filtering system I had set up into the Thunderbird folders. Another was that the script did not move the junk mail settings and thought everything from the Seamonkey folder was junk. I'm pretty sure it failed to move my addressbook and other key files as well. This set of collosal processing errors developed in the years after Thunderbird was split off from Seamonkey instead of being kept synced with the excellent way Seamonkey handled email. As it stands, Thunderbird is just a big destructive virus.

In short, the migration code made major mistakes migrating from its predecessor program, and Thunderbird added some killer errors on top of the migration script. I have filed a bugzilla report a couple of months ago but don't have any realistic hope that Mozilla can or will fix the issues I found.

I need an email client that can take over at least the mail folders from Seamonkey so I can keep on using those folders and a POP/SMTP connection to transfer mail through my ISP's mail handler.

Send your reply to John <fridthof@gmail.com>. If it goes to my democritus7@att.net address, I am not likely to find it in the mountain of email that's gathered since I downloaded it previously.

I've successfully connected to a hosted Exchange server through EWS and NTLM authentication (kudos BTW). But there is a problem - often during operations against EWS I'm presented with "Login to account XXX failed" "Login to server YYY with account XXX failed". I can ignore it (cancel) and it will work for seconds or minutes but eventually reappear. Sometimes it's very frequent, sometimes is here and there. TL;DR; connection works, I can read directories and e-mails.

From looking at development tools I see these scenarios: 1. POST requests return 200 always (no messsage of course) 2. Eventually a POST would return 401. Then Thunderbird issues a GET, it returns 401 as well but response includes header WWW-Authenticate: NTLM XXXXXX. Then another GET is issued containing header "Authorization" with the value from previous response. This time it gets 200 and continues without POST requests without a dialog. 3. Sometimes there are more POST requests with 401 (I assume in parallel) before a GET is issued and then I see a dialog. Sometimes it recovers (regardless of whether I cancel or retry), sometimes gets stuck with 401 with dialog reappearing each time it tries something. This case it's similar in sense that thunderbird issues GET with 401 and WWW-Authenticate header, issues another GET with Authenticate header but still gets 401.

If I had to guess I'd say the problem happens when POST requests are issued in parallel, not sequentially. OTOH it might be a problem at the server, but it isn't very likely.

I am migrating from thunderbird flatpak to thunderbird linux repository and the British English dictionary, which is included in the flatpak version, isn't included in the linux repo version.

I can see there are two different British English dictionaries in the "dictionary and language packs" page.

Please can anyone help and tell me which British English dictionary is included in the flatpak thunderbird? I would like to use it with the linux repo version, I like that dictionary.

Problem Initiating New Calendar in Thunderbird 140.12.1esr. Currently sharing calendar information between two accounts, both from Google calendar. Syncing between Google and Thunderbird has been working smoothly. Recently added KC Chiefs schedule to Google calendar. The KC Chiefs schedule displays correctly in Google, but does not display in Thunderbird. Attempts to add the Chiefs schedule directly to Thunderbird using the indicated (Google) 'Integrated Calendar' links fails. How do I obtain an .ics file to add this to my Thunderbird. Additional thoughts, my system is Linux Mint, and I am currently operating behind a VPN. Thanks,

Whenever I start Thunderbird, I get multiple (2 or 3) connection reset errors for random CalDAV calendars. When I sync the calendars, there are no errors reported and the exclamation mark on the effected calendars goes away and 153 and they are refreshed.

How can I solve this?

I'm running Thundebird for Linux Mint mint-001 - 1.0 (140.12.1esr 64-bit) on Linux Mint Mate v22.3

Thunderbird has one account

I have set up a simple filter. It is the only filter set up. The test is 'from matches quora'. It is set to run manually and on download, It is enabled.

The filter works well when run manually but not on download.

What it is missing, or what do I check next please? TIA

Since Thunderbird update to Snap ``` 140.12.1esr (64-Bit) Mozilla Thunderbird Snap for Ubuntu ubuntu-snap-build - 1.0 ``` opening attachments ceased to work. What does NOT work (any more):

• Move mouse over attachment → right mouse → open (nothing happens)
• Move mouse over attachment → right mouse → open with (doesn't exist)
• Move mouse over attachment → doubleclick (nothing happens)
• Settings → Attachments → There is an empty box, and in the void beneath it, floating in empty space the text (backtranslated from DE): "Add a Filelink-memory service" or "Filelink-save service" or similar. The text is dead (not clickable), same for the empty box.

AFAIR, in the good old non-snap TB version, the box had file extensions and linked applications to open them. The box / links / extensions coud be added, edited, removed. But in snap crap it's all dead...

Any hints what I am missing?

I used to open attachments from received mails (like .diff, .patch), and also used it for final inspection of own attachments while composing mails.

Sometimes, the following message opos up: /run/user/1000/doc/1d06e601/binutils-sort-text.diff konnte nicht geöffnet werden, weil die damit verknüpfte Hilfsanwendung nicht existiert. Ändern Sie die Verknüpfung in Ihren Einstellungen.

I'm trying to move from Windows to Linux without downloading all my imap messages again. What I've tried: 1. Install tbird on Linux, create new profile. 2. Close tbird. 3. Using Linux file manager,

 - delete contents of new profile folder
 - copy contents of old profile folder into new folder
 - delete Compatibility.ini in the copy

4. Open tbird with -p (profile manager)

I've tried twice with different results. The first time at step 4 I started offline. Thunderbird opened will all my previous tabs open, except that all the internet tabs reported connection failure - as expected. Under account settings, both local folders and my gmail account reported the correct (new, linux) path. When I went online and completed the gmail OAuth dialog thunderbird reported an inbox summary folder error, and deleted all the imap mbox files. I closed and restarted tbird- which failed with a crash dump. the terminal window reported successful minidump creation- the file manager showed the minidump file at zero size.

I repeated the process (recreating the original unmodified profile). This time at step 4 I started online, and tbird never opened- it generated the crash dump immediately.

Two questions: 1. Is it possible to transfer an imap profile and avoid re-downloading all the old messages? 2. What am I doing wrong that I'm getting the crash dumps?

Windows: [Compatibility] LastVersion=147.0_20260108190847/20260108190847 LastOSABI=WINNT_x86_64-msvc LastPlatformDir=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird LastAppDir=C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird

I am getting the error "connection timed out to connect to SMTP server". I am running on Linux Mint. The same setting do work on MacOS so there is no wrong config or broken SMTP server. It was working well since a couple of years. I also tried troubleshooting mode but still the same.

Cheers, Thomas

hi :-)

My Thunderbird uses between 19 and 34 GB of RAM. It's cyclical (with a period of about 10 minutes).

What do you suggest?

Do I need to perform a performance diagnostic? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiling-thunderbird-performance

Do I need to follow all the steps listed on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Memory_Usage_Problems#Diagnosis_Steps, or can I skip some of them?

When an email that is part of a thread is selected the delete button changes places with archive so I end up with a bunch of archives I don't want because I get a lot of mail and delete is my favorite key to spam.

Is there a way of changing this placement behavior or do I need to hack the source and if I do need to go hacking can someone point me in the direction of the file with this evil thing.

I have an hotmail.com account with no problems whatsoever while logging into Apple Mail, G-Mail etc. but when it comes to Thunderbird it does not let me login. I tried to login first to outlook itself, changing the servers ports etc. but nothing works.

For refrence my current server settings are: Incoming (IMAP): Server: outlook.office365.com Port: 993 Security SSL/TSL and OAuth2

Outgoing (SMTP): Server: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Security: STARTTLS with OAuth2
