I have 3 accounts with Gmail They are/ were all the same setup and everything was fine for years and now they are starting to not work properly. The sent mail folder doesn't work on one and it can't be deleted like the other 2. Delete and reinstall fixed it on one. And now the accounts functions are being merged. I deleted the sent mail on one and it deleted another one as well. The "fix" on the box for sent doesn't do anything. One account was getting mail in the inbox and sent mail box, the same message. And one account stopped sending mail but was receiving ok and I kept getting error messages that it was a bad address from Google. I've been playing with it for hours and finally got it sending and receiving to the right accounts I think. It's still set up per your directions for gmail. And I've rebooted TB and the computer a half a dozen times. Oh and TB also crashed once and sent the report. I hope you can figure this out because something is obviously corrupted. Thanks.

With Sequoia released - the "Writing Tools" invoking Apple's AI are available in most apps now via the context menu (e.g. select a paragraph/block of text and right-click and the context menu or menu bar shows the menu entry "Writing Tools" wherein you can get the Apple AI ecosystem to rewrite, proofread etc - however this is not available yet in Thunderbird 128.4.2 when composing/editing an email.

See the screenshot below - I'm writing this using Safari and it's available here - even for this little message...

I appreciate this is a North American facility at present and you have to fully enable US English on your Mac and then enable "Apple Intelligence" in system settings...but once you have done this, the facility is available in most apps unless the API chosen doesn't support it.

Any thoughts if / when Thunderbird might get updated to use the API to invoke or enable this?

If I can think of the one writing app where I spend most of my time, it's eMail.....while it's true I can select a paragraph and pop it over to Notes via copy-paste, invoke the AI there and paste it back - that's not as convenient.

thoughts....jc

It started a few days ago it seems like every time I stop and restart Thunderbird and new Trash "folder" is created. I have Trash with the garbage can Icon, then Trash-1, Trash-2, Trash-3, Trash-4, Trash-5, Trash-6, Trash.msf-1.compact-backup and Trash.msf.compact-backup they all a preceded with a folder icon. the list keeps going.. whats up?

they do not delete...how do I fix?

I've looked at other people having the same problem. When I delete an email, the one next to it gets deleted also. This has been going on for some time now. I've lost an important email to this problem. Somehow it needs to just target one email, not any others.I'm using a mouse with a cord at my desktop. The menu at the left expands sometimes, when I don't mean it to do that.

Ever since Nebula released, importing ICS files into the Thunderbird calendar (connected to my Google account) never moves from 0% progress, but the invite imports successfully. After I close the Import tab the invite appears in the calendar where it's supposed to be. I've left it for many minutes and progress stays at 0%. Anyone else seeing this happen?

Hi there! When I opened the thunderbird in the morning, I don't know if i clicked the wrong button, all my emails and the folder i set was gone, now it just shows the initial folder with only the emails I received today. When I use the search engine to search, it still shows a search result in which I can see the first few lines of emails I received in the past, but when I try to click into it to check details, it's empty, I couldn't see any content. What has happened and how can I fix this? Thanks in advance!

Thunderbird freezes when i delete an email, even when i shift delete it for up to a minute and while its frozen its says "not responding" happens when archiving emails too, i've repaired inbox, deleted the trash, compacted emails, and still it keeps freezing.

Hello,

I recently moved Thunderbird to a different Hardrive on my PC and after importing my old Profile, it only shows emails I've Replied/Forwarded to in my Sent Messages Folder.

How do I get the messages I've sent, as well as folders I've archived?

Thank you.

I was having some issues with emails in Thunderbird looking encrypted and I was told repairing the folder it was in could fix that. So I did that and it did fix the issue.

Then I was having issues with my sent email folder. I had emails in that folder going back to 2018 because I like to keep everything just in case I need to reference it for some reason. I email a lot and so there were probably 13-14,000 emails.

It took a day or two to repair the sent email inbox and I couldn't hardly use my email at all while that was occurring because every time I would click on something, it would take 30-40 seconds to open it.

Now, every time I send an email, my thunderbird freezes and becomes unresponsive until the email is copied into the sent email folder.

It thankfully doesn't freeze as long this time and is still usable, any help on correcting this?

I have not changed my email accounts or my Google & Microsoft usernames or passwords. A few days ago when I started Thunderbird, two Google pop-ups arrive reading "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account" demanding that I deny or allow it. Why might this be happening and how do I stop it? This does not occur with other email apps such as Outlook for Windows.

I am trying to move folders to the Mozilla provided gmail account from my other gmail account and it seems to be locked-up, doing nothing. I also clicked YES when a dialog box suggested that I COMPACT my folders. I think maybe it was getting multiple commands simultaneously and locked. How do I fix this and enable the folders transfer to be done, please?

I am using a Mac with Big Sur (macOS Monterey Version 12.7.6), and my email is POP, using Thunderbird Version 128.4.2esr. My incoming messages are sorted in reverse order so that the latest message is listed first. I retrieve the message headers first then I either delete the message or download the contents of the message. The problem is that when I click on the download instructions Thunderbird does download the message OK, '''BUT it highlights the message just downloaded and it jumps to the next message. '''This is very annoying because in order to read the contents of the message I have to go back one message and purposely select the message just downloaded. It did not do this previously. Please correct or tell me the corrective action I should take.

I am using Thunderbird to archive emails to a local folder. I have put emails in separate folders by year. Still, it took a much longer time than I expected. I guess the reason might be synchronization. Often Thunderbird download the same folder, or a set of messages in a folder, repeatedly. It is hard to tell how many messages have a local copy.

One example is showing in the attached picture. It has been stuck there for a long time. Apparently, the progress bars are not drawn correctly. The lower folder is almost done by the number of messages, not the top one.
