I previously posted a question and it was answered by Matt however, the answer did not bring me a solution. Here it is again: I had a folder named Documents where I used to store important emails, receipts etc. I believe that after compacting the emails my folder disapeared along with 90 % of the content and now I have a new folder named Dolcuments 1 which I did not create myself. Can some one tell me perhaps how can I recover my previous folder ? and NO the repair option for the folder doesn't work.

Hello, Thunderbirders -

Much prefer Thunderbird bird to Outlook, but now dealing with an significant issue and hoping for help!

Our domain & mail server (HostGator) was recently subjected to an offshore cyber attack that hamstrung more of their clients than just ourselves. During the resolution, the HostGator tech was obliged (so he says) to wipe all our previous messages and essentially start the account all over again, so when I logged in to Thunderbird with the new password, eight (8) years' worth of e-mails were gone; they no longer exist on HostGator, and they themselves don't have any of them backed up :(

However, I have Thunderbird also running on a second computer on which I have not yet logged in with the new password; all the e-mails (at least the message titles) are still showing, and I am not attempting to open any of them while online. So my question is, does Thunderbird have any folder, perhaps not readily apparent, where copies of these messages still exist and may be recovered, absent pinging the host server? None of them were archived; they're all in my Inbox.

If no such duplicates exist anywhere off the server, can I create a secondary Thunderbird account to run on both my primary and secondary computers to send/receive along side the previous account, which can in some way be prevented to communicating with the host? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

When I click on any message, another (unrelated) message appears in the lower pane. The message that appears is always the same message; it is from hello@genomelink.io. The correct subject and sender appear OK in the upper pane; it's just the full message in the lower pane that is weird. This happens with most messages, but a few do appear correctly.

simply want to enlarge From column - before Nebula - just do it. Now, pain in the back - only lets you do a bit and moves everything else and still doesn't let me do what I used to do. What a mess they made out of a great program !

I have two iCloud mails in Thunderbird. The older one runs great. For the other new one - same settings - mails sent often appear totally blank in the sent folder. Going to the iCloud webmail, sent messages appear totally normal and mails are sent to destination without any problem. I tried everything, no avail. Also weird is I have two "sent" folders (for no clear reason). Both have this issue, not always. See screenshot of iCloud webmail.

Searching calendar events in Thunderbird used to search both title and description fields. For example, if I searched for "dental" it would find events titled "Dental appointment" and also events with "dental" somewhere in the description field. Now it only seems to search the title. I've always put most of the information in the description field, and I use the calendar primarily as a diary record of my life and things I need to keep track of, so this is a major downgrade in terms of usability for me. Is there any way to still search the description field?

I have five email accounts defined on a hosting service. On my computer in Thunderbird I have my main account on the left side followed by one of the other five. Then comes Local Folders and two more email accounts. I can retrieve email into my personal account and the one above Local Folders. I can't retrieve into the other two accounts. My wife's computer has HER personal account and one of the ones into which I can't retrieve. She can't retrieve into that one either. I have checked details of the definitions of the accounts on the hosting service and in Thunderbird on both of our computers and can't find anything different on the accounts that don't retrieve mail. I have an Android tablet running the K9Mail client and have my personal account and one of the problem accounts defined. I setup the other problem email account there and got complaints about it not being from a trusted site. I went ahead anyway, went to my personal account and sent a message to the new problem account and was able to go to that account and retrieve the message. What am I missing?
