Thunderbird Tekoha Aty

It's very odd. Normally moving an email, say from the Inbox to the relevant year's archive, takes "no time at all".

Which is true for all the mailboxes shown on the attached screenshot, EXCEPT for the four at the bottom. Moving even one message from Inbox to Yiddish can take ten seconds or longer (with the dreaded "Not Responding" occasionally). Moving something in the opposite direction is also screwy, only from those four.

I had thought that it was because they're rather large. This first started when there were just Yiddish and MSW, and I split off most of the earlier years into the archives shown. To no avail.

It's only an annoyance, but I'm puzzled about how such a thing could happen.

Also very slow tagging or untagging a message just in those mailboxes.

When I sort on correspondents, if, say, I have a message from Susan, messages from Tom, Dick, and Harry will appear in the sorted list under Susan's name. If I then sort under date, Susan's name will remain in the list for Tom, Dick, and Harry's messages, even though the individual headers give the correct name for each message. I noticed this a few days ago, and it's still happening. How do I stop this?

These are some things I have explored:

   • It is happening whether I look at emails in Thunderbird or through Gmail on Google Chrome
   • Even if I clickndrag them from deleted to inbox they fall back into deleted.
   • I’ve tried gmail/settings/all settings/filters and there aren’t any
   • I’ve tried gmail/settings/all settings/forwarding and there aren’t any
   • If I access Gmail via Microsoft Edge, the emails stay in Inbox
   • I’ve looked at various things in Thunderbird and unticked something in ‘When New emails arrive’ because I thought that might work.  

It started happening about a week ago.

SIMPLIFY THUNDERBIRD IT IS EXCESSIVLY COMPLEX. I CANNOT EVEN SEE HOW TO MOVE MESSAGES FROM THE INBOX TO THE RELEVANT FOLDER IN MY LIST. I PERSONALLY BELIEVE FIREFOX AND THUNDERBIRD ARE OVERCOMPLEX AND NEED SIMPLIFIED. SIMPLES. WHY CANT I COPY AND PASTE THE VERSION NUMBER. BLOODY ARESHOLES . AS I SAID IT IS BLOODY OVERCOMPLEX. AT THIS POINT I AM CONSIDERING GIVING UP ON WHAT IS CLEARLY AN OVERCOMPLEX PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT REALLY DOESN'T LOOK GOOD EITHER AND THERE IS NO OFFICIAL SUPPORT SO WILL HAVE TO LOOK FOR AN ALTERNATIVE. COMPLETE WASTE OF SPACE TOO MANY COOKS SPOIL THE BROTH COMES TO MIND THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE

I have an email account that I have had for several years and I run it under Thunderbird. I have recently opened a Gmail account and understand that I can operate this under the same Thunderbird (I haven't tried it yet so expect a few glitches on the way, as per usual! There are plenty of articles covering this, so I live in hope)! Potential problem is: I have backed up my old profile account regularly and know how to do it (though I've not yet had to restore it and of course hope I never will), What worries me is that if I follow the procedure to add Gmail to my Thunderbird (and it works), will I get a single profile covering both email accounts which I will be able to back up in the way I am used to; or will I get 2 profiles including a new one for Gmail so I will need to back up both? A simple question but I haven't seen the answer anywhere yet!

How can I change an IMAP server on an existing T-bird account after T-bird deleted the saved password and IMAP server for that account? I tried to change the IMAP server address for an existing T-bird account, but T-bird and/or my ISP deleted the saved password and IMAP server entry for that account, so T-bird cannot get incoming E-mails. I would like to add an/the IMAP server back to the account without deleting the account, adding all of its settings again, and waiting 6 hours for T-bird to re-download all of the most recent 10,000 messages in the Inbox and all of the 15,000 messages in other folders again. The SMTP server and its saved password are still in the Saved Passwords table.

I have over 200 email accounts in Thunderbird, and I am getting constant pop-up error messages that say: "Не удалось открыть индексный файл для 'Входящие на [email]'. Возможно, произошла ошибка на диске или полный путь превышает допустимую длину."

I don't need help fixing the emails themselves, but I need to permanently disable these pop-up alert windows because I will soon have over 2000 accounts and I don't want 2000 errors popping up.

I am using the latest version of Thunderbird. I have tried looking for "about:config" or the "Navigation Toolbar" to change the settings to "false", but my interface is heavily customized and I cannot find the menu or the address bar. I need a step-by-step guide on how to disable these error alerts, preferably using the Windows Registry or a configuration file if the menu is hidden.

Hello, I use the 32-bit portable 153;2 version of Thunderbird. But now when I label a message according to my list of labels by color, the selected message returns to its original color. Labeling no longer works, even though old messages retain their colors well. Thank you for your response. Ph. Costes

I can no longer use outlook due to being a basic BT email account user. Thunderbird recognised my account. But now says can find server. It may be my password is wrong in outlook, but it is so long ago, I have no idea of my original password. I’m using the BT Mail app on my iPad and iPhone which works fine, but want my past and present emails on my laptop as well. I’m using windows 10. Any help??

I have downloaded and installed Thunderbird Email on my computer.

I put in my name as requested. Enter my Gmail account and go through all the steps signing in only to get a message that there is an error and I cannot be signed in.

Extremely frustrating to not be able to use this app.

Will be uinstalling immediately.

Hey everyone

I need to remove the line that is added when you reply to emails. It adds added steps when cutting and pasting when I quoting emails when replying.

I have multiple profiles with multiple emails in each profile.

I found a thread here dated 2016 that instructed to add this to the css file.

I didn't have en excisting css file I could fine so I created a folder. >chrome > and put a userContent.css file within that.

This is code.

blockquote[type=cite] {

  padding-bottom: 0 !important;
  padding-top: 0 !important;
  padding-left: 0 !important;
  border-left: none !important;
  border-right: none !important;

}

Hey guys,

So I am trying to create a rule that will delete emails on the server that are 360 days or older.

I know you can go into settings...

>> leave messages on server >>>>>>For at most ,,,,,,,

But from what I have read that only deletes emails on server from when they were downloaded into thunderbird.

I am new to thunderbird so that wont work for me.

So I went into message filter....thinking this would work

>>>>>age in days > is greater than > 360 days >>>>>>>>>>>Delete From Pop Server

But nothing happens???? Help!

Your input is appreciated

When I close down the non-functional thunderbird basic frame, it says it is reporting the problem to Microsoft. I never know if/when the mail is going to work. No useful information on what to do to fix. - Dwight

Whilst exploring settings I managed to create a second duplicate "stgilb@optusnet.com.au" account/profile, ie two inboxes,drafts,sent,spam & trash. In trying to eliminate the duplicate I succeeded in creating a triplicate. How do I return to a single account/profile?

A solution would be greatly appreciated.

now i am getting mail but my dad and my brother both said they are sending mail and it says undeliverable I tried sending to my self and it came through I have Thunderbird through Comcast. i see mail in Comcast that is coming through so i do not know why. the only thing i could think of was they tried yesterday when the update was going through i received a mail at 7.15 this evening so i have no idea why it would bounce back did nothing to change anything

An example of an added space would be:

director-concertband@oceanside- music.ca

Note that after the second dash in my address above, in the saved HTML Sig Card, the space is added. When I remove the space and re-save the Sig card, the space still returns.

Also note that this happens ONLY in the signature card. The addressing in the email itself is correct. Any help you can offer would be appreciated.
