1) How do I get the emails Thunderbird marks as spam to be moved to the Spam folder without me doing anything. I have thousands of emails now most marked as spam but I have to go in and move them one by freaking one!

2) Also you freaking filter system doesn't work worth a crap! I have created filters for instance: for any emails that have @cypress.com in the From part of the message to be moved to a folder under my inbox named Cypress. I have run it many times and actually none of the filters I've created work? They are very simple to understand and I am doing them correctly as far as I can tell but they don't work. I have created at least a dozen filters and the only emails moved are ones I moved manually myself.

And this training crap you have I don't know what you think it should take a computer to learn to move something to a folder. It's not like a child that has to be taught how to spell. You tell it if it has this in whichever field you've selected then it should move it. Not have to be taught? Not a bright idea in my opinion. It's why AI isn't very smart at least what they release to general users. Anyway I digress.

If you can help me with the above issues in the above paragraphs 1 & 3 I would greatly appreciate it.

Greetings,

I just downloaded Thunderbird onto my new laptop. I use AOL as my mail server (not voluntarily; they own the verizon.net email domain). This is also my 1st foray into IMAP.

On Thunderbird, there are two "Drafts" folders (identical spelling). My draft emails go to one of the two. I cannot unsubscribe from either by using the any of the methods I found on here (including: uncheck, close Subsribe, close the program, wait a few mins, then open the program). The result is that both "Drafts" folder remain on the LH panel and both remain checked in the Subscribe window.

An interesting note is that the properties of the "Drafts" folder that does not receive draft emails is: "imap://w5mt%40verizon.net@imap.aol.com/Draft" with the Name in the Folder Properties window as "Drafts" (this cannot be changed in the Folder Properties window). The properties of the "Drafts" folder that does receive draft emails is: "imap://w5mt%40verizon.net@imap.aol.com/Drafts" with the same Name, "Drafts".

Just to make things more entertaining, AOL Mail also has two "Drafts" folders; one is in the list of folders below Inbox and does not receive draft emails, the other is in the Hidden Folder List and that is where draft emails go. The "Draft" in the main folder list can't be manipulated (e.g. moved). The one in the Hidden Folder List can't be moved to anywhere outside the Hiden Folder List.

In Thunderbird, I would just like the "unused, undesired" "Drafts" folder to either be deleted or hidden. At present, neither option seems possible.

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks Matt T

When writing a new message, the Menu bar does not display so I cannot Send a composed message. This happened all of the sudden, and I have unsuccessfully searched to find out how to restore the Menu Bar. My 32 bit Thunderbird is up to date. Up to date Windows 11, & Firefox (default browser). Thanks for your help. Bob

The SEND button has vanished in Thunderbird. I don't recall changing anything or performing any updates, though my memory is getting to be unreliable.. In addition, the LINK button has vanished as well. I imagine I did or am doing something stupid and it's an easy fix, but what that might be totally escapes me..

I went to View and tool bars... Composition was already enabled. Alt and F10 did not reveal "Send." I tried to use the "Customize" menu and it did not include "Send." I do appreciate your help, even if everything suggested so far has not worked. My fear is that I may have to delete my Thunderbird in its entirety and re-install. If I do this, is there a way for me to save my address book? Is there still a way for me to get my Send back.

I may have to just settle using <Ctl> Enter on my keyboard. Bill

My Send short cut has disappeared.. I also have the "send later" add on to my Thunderbird. I seem unable to send messages. Is there a key board short cut to for sending mail? My old Eudora account used to have one a <Ctl> S.... (With Thunderbird this is Save, instead of send).

My send button has disappear from my Thunderbird Email Client. I can still send messages by using <Ctl> Enter, but I would still like to get my send button back. Everything works well, including my "send later" add on.

I have reloaded Thunderbird, I have rebooted my system and <Send> is still gone.

Any ideas on how I can get it back , without deleting my program and re-installing it.

I backed up my Thunderbird folder on my old pc, and moved it to my new pc. When I started Thunderbird, the appearance of the Inbox, plus my Address Book, was moved to the new pc. I don't see the Local Folders (and all the messages I put into the Local Folders) from my old pc, on the new pc Thunderbird app. I checked that the "Profile Folder" under Troubleshooting / Application Basics, was selected for the profile I moved from the old PC. I can see in the profile folder all the Local Folders. Any idea on how to get Thunderbird to recognize these transferred Local Folders and contents, so I can continue to access them on my new pc running Thunderbird ? Thanks

Why is Thunderbird consatntly coming up with "Authentification failure while trying to connect to server outlook.office365.com"? It never used to and would download my hotmail emails perfectly until about a month ago. This is very frustrating, I have removed my hotmail account from thunderbird and re installed it, works for ocassionally the back to same old message authentification failure. What is going on with thunderbird?153.02

thunderbird is not able to access mail.twc.com for 2 days now. Spectrum webmail didn't work yesterday, but is now functional. Thunderbird may need a fix to deal with whatever changes Spectrum made to its mail server,

Sometimes an email I receive contains text whose right margin and text is chopped off. I thought this was because the emails were formatted for Google's gmail, but I just received an email from Thunderbird itself that is truncated this way. What's going on?

I'm enclosing a screen shot. I can also send the .eml file if that's helpful.

At one time, I was able to access my email with Thunderbird. Then Thunderbird stopped working, and I didn't have time to research why. Monday, I bought a new Macbook. After installation, Thunderbird says "account settings found." Then it asks for a password. My password no longer works. Instead, I get a message: "Authentication failed. Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." What, if anything, can I do?

This is a follow-on to a question I asked yesterday. I appear to have accidentally deleted the main Profile I use for email. However - thinking back - I'm 99% sure I clicked the 'Don't Delete Folders' command. This supposedly deleted the Profile name BUT retained all the information in 'storage' - but where is that located?

Hello, Thunderbird starts with "Authetication Failed" for my main account. After deleting the saved account/Password in Thunderbird it DOES NOT ask to enter a new one. It seems, Thunderbird hast still the Old informations saved, but it does NOT appear under Passwords / User Accounts in Thunderbird. How can I enter a new password in Thunderbird ? Has anybody a REGEDIT clue or any other help ? THANKS

Hi, I just installed Elementary OS on a Dell M6800. The OS runs well, and I have multiple email accounts, so I installed Thunderbird from the Elementary AppCenter. It showed up as a flatpak install, but I went ahead.

Now, in the past when I tried to replace the .default-release file with one from another machine and rename it with the new filename (which is what I've always done to transfer my multiple emails and address book),

I went to the usual place, which has always been /home/myusername/.thunderbird/whatever.default-release, but it wasn't there. Going to Help/Troubleshooting Information/about:profiles shows it there, but won't open it when clicked on.

The only place I could find it was in /home/myusername/.var/app/org.mozilla.thunderbird/cache/thunderbird. But when I replaced and renamed the .default-release file there, and then restarted the app, I still did not have my old data. How do I go about this with a flatpak installation? Thanks in advance.

I recently got a notification that a Thunderbird update was available, so the update was downloaded and installed.

Next I went to my inbox to tidy it up, by deleting some items and archiving some that I wanted to keep. On looking at the 2026 archive none of the items where found.

Why has this happened and is there any FIX ?
