I added two new email accounts to my Thunderbird installation (140.12.1esr (64-bit) under Windows 10), and am able to receive and send mail just fine. But the T-bird Search utility doesn't work for those accounts. I can do a Search for an email address, subject, etc. that's showing on my screen for those accounts, but the Search utility comes up empty. Search does work for three other accounts, however. Any ideas?

I recently changed hosting and now I am getting login boxes nonstop to my old servers. I see no way to remove them and this is so annoying I may have to change from thunderbird. All my emails are there, it just keeps checking for old servers.

Thanks in advance!

I haven't used Thunderbird on an office computer in several months. When I opened it, the most recent emails were from October of last year. Nothing seems to be updating or refreshing. How can I reactivate the account?

Enclosed are jpg copies of the current sets of filters failures in my TB email program.

TB Error0 shows the 6 emails that have arrived and are placed in the INBOX. However, each of these has a corresponding filter set up to move them upon arrival to a separate subject email mailbox.

Note: If I highlight the INBOX and then go to Tools > Run Filters On Folder ... all of these INBOX email messages will be correctly filtered and moved to their respective email mailbox, BUT each of them is shown as having been "read" and unless you pay close attention, you may not know where these INBOX emails were sent.

I am also enclosing TB Error1 & 2 that show the last couple of days message filtering errors.

I can find nothing wrong with how each of these filters are set up, yet they seem to consistently fail to operate when new emails arrive.

Note one of them is for incoming emails from ... schiffsovereign.com. I have edited this filter repeatedly, even deleted it and re-input the information. Yet the filter never takes hold and does what it is designed to do. I am enclosing a jpg of that specific filter as TB Error3

I am looking for suggestions on how to fix this problem.

Thank you and best wishes,

I am upgrading from my old HP computer running Windows 10 (not window 11 compatible) to a new Lenovo PC running windows 11. How can I transfer all my emails and email files to the new computer sothat I do not lose them?

I can't get Thunderbird to stop updating. My installation is currently set as follows:

Settings > Updates > "Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them."

That was done around the 21st July, and the version=152.0.1. I was never prompted to update. When I checked today (27th July) version=153.0 and Settings remains the same (as above).

The setting is being ignored. Is there a workaround? Like setting up my installation to deny access to something. (Maybe, like if the update process needs a certain directory to be present, remove the directory.)

Had one account. Imported perfectly. Added another, only Inbox and Trash added (later Drafts when I composed a new email)

Where are all the account folders ?

I just added two new email accounts to my Thunderbird installation, which has been working with three accounts flawlessly for years. All my accounts are POP/SMTP.

Both the new emails are Google Workspace accounts for an in-home business. One uses (my) name@(domain) as the account name, the other uses info@(domain). The account using my name works fine, sending and receiving. But the info@ account does not display a Sent folder, and will not send messages. It looks as if it does, but they never show up. I checked the Account Settings and the two new ones are set up identically, and just like the other accounts that have been working just fine. Any ideas? Many thanks in advance.

I have 13 email accounts in Thunderbird. Most of the emails work flawlessly. However, in some accounts , before I read them, the original emails are "automatically" duplicated in other folders (for instance, "important", and or "save" folders). After reading the emails in my inbox, I have to open each folder where the duplicates are and wait for the emails to disappear "automatically". It's a pain b/c the folders are hi-lighted and therefore I can't tell if I received a new email in my inbox or is it an old one I just forgot to delete in another folder. How can I stop this from happening?

Steps:

1. Email received in inbox; inbox high-lighted in blue 2. Open inbox in order to see emails, some folders (on the right-hand side) are also high-lighted in blue. The contain duplicates of emails in the inbox. 3. Deal with emails in inbox (open, read, keep, file, delete) 4. Some folders are still high-lighted in blue ( for instance, in uploaded image "all mail" and important") 5. Open high-lighted folders which deletes folders that were deleted in the inbox or if not deleted in the inbox, emails remain in the folder but the boldness turns off and the folder is no longer highlighted in blue. How do I stop the original emails from duplicating to other folders?

I changed Google accounts from mine to my husband's so that I could find a certain email. Finished and signed back into my Google account. Shut everything and went to my Thunderbird. My entire inbox of emails for my gmail account were not there. Why would I lost those if I was not dealing with Thunderbird, but Google online?? Google online only shows those emails that I haven't downloaded to Thunderbird. Google online did not show my current gmail Thunderbird Inbox, yet it's gone from Thunderbird. I'm sick about it... prescious emails lost. Is there any way to retrieve my Inbox?

For whatever reason, although I've had this account for years and regularly contribute I always get this page at startup begging me for more money and even if I donate, I can't get past the begging page.

I am now locked out of the account. No login info works and I'm unable to access years of emails

I have not changed my password since I opened the account and frankly I am as aggravated and pissed off as can be. I can't get to do anything at all but read the page begging me for money even after I just made another contribution and although I haven't changed any login info I keep getting the login failed message

win10/tbird v140.12.1.esr wont d/l from yahoo. logon appears ok but the d/l bar starts & then just times out. This just started 3-4 days ago. gmail & fastmail ok.

I believe I downloaded 153, but I don't where to find it.

The information regarding Version 153 and downloading it is confusing.

One page states, "Manual upgrade to 153 is now enabled via Help > About", but when I go to Help > About, all I see is the current version and the statement that it is up to date. The recommendation on one page regarding 153 is to switch from Release to ESR, although the contrary seems to be the case for Version 153.

I retrieve email from two different servers, one is mine, one for work, All of a sudden last night I got a spam email from my personal email server, that kept coming in over 100 times, but no other email. My work email is fine. I contacted the hosting company for that server, who was supposed to blacklist that spam address, (my Thunderbird junk button wouldn't do it), but I'm still getting those emails only. Thunderbird tells me there are 110 emails (and counting) on the server, but won't retrieve them. I can see them on my phone, just not my desktop. (I have the phone set to leave emails on the server until I retrieve them with the desktop). I thought maybe it was because I hadn't cleared out my Inbox for a while, so I deleted about half of the 30k emails that were in the Inbox folder, but it didn't make any difference. It won't compact because I keep getting an error that says some other operation is in progress, but nothing is. None of my settings have changed, and I'm still downloading what I think are copies of that spam email, since they all have the exact same Send time. My Thunderbird version is current, v 140-13 oesr 32-bit, on Windows 10. What can I do, thank you in advance. Long time Tbird user, rarely any problems. Image of some of the copies of the spam email.

TalkTalk have outsourced their email to Everymail. We use Thunderbird as our e, Mail client on a pc. We have stopped getting email and can’t send any for a week now. Do I need to reset the server names suddenly.
