What fresh hell is this (in the image)? The display is like this most of the time. Usually, highlighting text causes that part to be fixed but it doesn't last long. This in on Windows 11 and nothing seems to fix it. I've updated drivers and Thunderbird. I've scanned for system file damage. While there wer some corrupt files, fixing them has not affected the display problem. No effect. It looks like some characters are randomly changed to the background color.

This is a new computer, I have Firefox on my 2nd computer (Wife's)and I cant rember my pass word, I have had to change multiple pass words in the last week and I am still having trouble with Telstra trying to get my Outlook going!

I have recently gotten a new computer. I have downloaded thunderbird to it. My inbox says there are 70 messages unread but only the ones received today are showing. I don't know how to see the rest of them. Wayne Rousseau

Hi, I often recieve mails with an invitation for a date. Opening the mail I see the date and 3 buttons accept, preliminary and reject (I am not shure about the English buttons) When clicking accept no mail to the invitor is send. What setting is wrong? I am using 128.9.1esr (64-Bit) Many thanks Wolfgang

I've been using Thunderbird for years without issues. A few weeks ago, Thunderbird on two of my computers, (a Win10 laptop and a Win11 desktop) stopped receiving email, but were still able to send it. After a couple of days, normality resumed and both computers were able to receive email again, without any corrective measures taken by me. However, about 5 days ago the same thing has happened again, but this time, the desktop has resumed normal function but the laptop has not. The error (both times of failure) is shown in the image. TB on the Win10 laptop is configured POP3. On the Win11 desktop IMAP.

Email works perfectly from web interface, and so I'm very reluctant to change the password on the server in case I get locked out of the web interface, but perhaps this might be the step to take? I uninstalled TB using RevoUninstaller to completely wipe TB from the computer, including any registry entries. Installed TB version 137.0.2. Still the issue persists. I'm certain that the account settings are correct, so the issue is a complete mystery to me as to what is going on here. I would very much appreciate any help to resolve this issue please.

Recently saving draft emails has become an issue. No longer functional in automatic or manual mode. See attached image for details.

Similarly, automating and rules guided saving copies of 'sent' emails have failed.

No changes have been made to these Thunderbird components.

Attempted to repair the 'drafts' folder did not help.

Any assistance welcomed.

If I send an email to my wife's or my own email address, I don't receive it. If I send an email to the same email addresses from my Gmail address, it arrives at both addresses without any text enclosed.

Hi Thunderbird

I can't send emails from Thunderbird. Get this message: "Sending the message failed. Could not communicate securely with the other party, no common encryption algorithms. Configuration issues regarding need to be fixed."

I have a very hard time figuring it out and hope for help. Preferably in Danish.

Best regards Bente Nybjørn

I have a email folder that display the name and contents in the main window (Name, 6 messages) but there are no messages visible in the window. I had tried to separate the thread but something went wrong and now any mail that I move into the folder disappears. Where are they and how do I get them to display?

In the past I've always been able to restore email subfolders and the emails in those folders to Local Folders by copying over the files from the profile directory of a previous installation under Mail/Local Folders

But I'm trying it now on v. 128.6.1esr (64-bit) and it no longer works.

e.g. I do the following with TB closed: $ cd [old_profile_dir]/Mail/Local\ Folders/ $ cp -r Archives* Sent* Templates* [new_profile_dir]/Mail/Local\ Folders/

When I reopen neither the emails nor their folders are there.

If I try creating all of the relevant folders from within thunderbird, then closing it and copying over in the same way, it similarly seems has no effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to set up my sbcglobal.net account on Thunderbird.

I enter all of the inbound server settings, and i times out while checking them. What to do? I have similar issues setting up sbcglobal.net on other email clients.

I need to get my centurylink emails moved to thunderbird, ( and keep them in my centurylink for now also ) all folders and contacts if possible. NO IDEA how to start the process here after the initial account set up is done. Please , in easy to understand terms if possible, am computer challenged for the most part.

When recipients receive emails from me it includes all kinds of gibberish. I'm sure it serves a purpose or provides security, but how can I get rid of it so that the messages just show who the email is being sent to and who is sending it and the message and any attachments, without all the other material?

Here is an example of what a sent email looks like and sometimes it is even longer?
