Hello everyone I'm running TB 128 on Linux Mint 21 and TB 140.3 on Windows 11 24H2. My email provider is Strato.de with IMAP. The problem is that TB doesn't allow unsubscribes from folders on either installation. So, if you select a server folder, the folder is displayed and the emails are included. I can unsubscribe from the subscription, and the folders are gone.

With TB, all folders are loaded and all emails synchronized during installation and the first contact with the server. I can deselect folders in the "Subscribe" menu, but they are immediately available again. I can see in the TB status display that the unsubscriptions are being sent. Strato reports that their server is OK. It also works with Outlook 2013 in Windows 11 and two other email programs in Linux. It works well with other clients (Evolution, Balsa) under Linux.

Today I also tested: 1. Live version Mint 22 TB 128 - same problem 2. Mint 21 TB version 115 - same problem 3. New mailbox/address created on Strato's server - same problem Can anyone explain this? Thanks. Holger

Hi, Hopefully this is Bugzilla. I've an issue and not sure if it's a bug or what. Been using these filters for years. Tried most "tricks". (rebooted, etc)

Not sure how to handle this.

Can anyone help? What do you need from me? Thanks

I have recently installed Thunderbird on a Raspberry-Pi - additional to several Windows PCs

I'm using the same Mail-Adresses via Thunderbird - and on my MobilePhone - on serveral devices.

This all works fine...

But Thunderbird on the Pi has created two "SENT" Folders - one is named "Sent Items" - the other just "sent".

Now - only the one folder named "Sent items" connects with the IMAP - the one named "Sent" only remains local - Mails sent from the PI DO NOT show up in the "Sent" folders on the other devices - all mails sent from other devices show up in the Folder "Sent Items". But the Mails sent from the Pi actually reach recipients and receive answers.

The Location for the folders is listed under properties as:

imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent (on the PI) - folder "Sent" imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent%20Items (on the PI) - folder "Sent Items" and imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent Items (under Windows)

To solve the Problem, I tried to EDIT the line Location under properties, but this can't be edited (doesn't allow entries - or delete with cursor - nor pastes from Copy / Paste.)

So how can I synchronize the SENT folder(s) from the Pi with the Server...?

Thank you for any suggestions

I have lost the indicator in the folder pane showing which folder I'm in. It used to have a small color tab in the folder pane on the left hand side. Indicating that the folder was selected. Any ideas to get it back? Thunderbird 140.3.1esr (64-bit)

I have just installed Thunderbird on Windows 11 and it has two very annoying new habits. When I click on an email it opens it instead of giving me a preview. And when I move an email to another folder it also opens that folder. Neither happened on the old computer so how can I get back to the way it used to be?

I would like help removing one of the folders called drafts as it is empty and uses the other for subfolders. I have tried right clicking but it has no effect on removing it. Only the draft folder where the subfolders are located can be removed. How do I remove the extra draft folder. Thanks in advance for your help.

For some reason (accidental key stroke?) one of my email account's folders are no longer arranged alphanumerically. How can I reset the order to alphanumerical? I can't find a menu item or setting to do this. Thanks

Hello,

I've used Thunderbird on Linux for a while and love it! I use it for multiple email accounts from different providers.

Until recently I manually Archived email in to Local Folders on my PC. I do this to remove email from my mail providers and to avoid storage limits.

I recently learned that if I I set the "Message Archives" option to a specific folder for each account under "Local Folders" I can either manually archive there or I can use an Extension like "AutoarchiveReloaded" to do this semi-automatically. Great!

Unfortunately for my main mailbox only, despite being configured to write to a sub-folder under Local Folders, Thunderbird seems to ignore the settings. It always tries to create an Archive folder in the mailbox itself. Every attempt creates a mess which takes time to cleanup.

The mailbox in question:

• Uses IMAP
• Has "Keep message archives in:" set to "Other:" "Local Folders > Archives > (the name of the account)".

I am concerned that if I try "Keep message archives in:" "Archives" Folder on Local Folders it will combine with all my other archived accounts which are sorted in to sub-folders correctly.

Is anyone able to help please?

Thank you!

Hi, Thunderbird : Under Windows 10 and Ubuntu, I have a vertical taskbar on the left. but once installed under Widows 11 no taskbar and no way to make it appear. Do you know a solution? Thank you

hi, my emails are set never to delete but they are disappearing after three weeks. If I scroll down today, I can't see any emails before the 16th of September. If I know what I am looking for, the emails appear in the search function. Does anyone know why they are not in the inbox? My settings are set so that emails never delete.
