People change their provider and get a new e-mail address. From some people I have 3 addresses but 2 are obsolete. I can't remember which ones. So I want to remove the old addresses, not a whole e-mail account. If I send a new e-mail to a friend and I have typed part of my friends name, I don't want to see obsolete addresses as options. I only want to see 1 correct address. If your answer is something like "Go to the Adress Book", please do tell me - exactly - where this Address Book is and how I will be able to edit and save it. I have Thunderbird 31.5.0.
Thank you.

I just copied my TB profle in another computer and the folders sre dublicated. I keep deleting them and they keep reapper. What should I do?
I use english and greek letters for the folders and the folders that are dublicted seem to be only te greek ones.
After upgrade my address book only has the personal address book available, not the one with most of my addresses, therefore can not access, edit, export, etc.

I have recently set up TB on a new laptop and every time I open the machine and go to get my emails it's sooooo sloooow and seems to be always downloading 12 out of 18 emails to inbox or 21 out of 28 into inbox or something like that, and won't let me do much until it's finished - which can take ages. I can't make out (a) what these emails are and (b) why hasn't it downloaded them already. I uninstalled and reinstalled TB in case there was some glitch but the problem's still there. So frustrating. The setup on my other computer is fine.

I am using IMAP and have input one password for several email accounts. At first I had a different password for each email account, but this seem to cause Thunderbird problems since it continued to ask for password for each account. I then went back to my internet provider (Host Monster) C-Panel and changed the seperate passwords to one password. For a while TB worked OK, but then began to request a password.. It did not seem to recognize the password. This problem caused my IP Address to be blocked at my internet provider (Host Monster). I hate to have to keep calling Host Monster then waiting to get someone to remove the block on my IP Address. What is the problem with Thunderbird or what am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated because i want to stay with TB because it does so many things. Plus, as a senior citizen who's eyesight is changing, I can change the size of the message fonts to a size i can read. I can also change the look of TB and I love that as well. Music Man Bob
deleting a message
I am interested in having the message / pointer move up once I delete a message. How can I achieve this ?
It gives me option to change colour of background and text, but if won't change them. Text is always black and background is white, even though set differently.
templates that have coloured text and different backgrounds, when loaded change to black text and white background.

Away for the weekend accessing email via a browser on Verizon website. When back at home Thunderbird had not downloaded any messages since the day I left. 'Get Messages' generates the script in the lower left corner: Connecting to pop.verizon.... Which times out. There are no error messages. Shut down windows fire wall and exited/disabled antivirus.
I am still getting message in Verizon web interface. So messages are on the server.
Thunderbird is up to date 31.5.0. Emptied my inbox, moved all messages to other folders and deleted Inbox and Inbox.msf. restarted per help instructions. Don't know what else to do. Thanks, Marc

My mail was organized on my PC into folders. A copy also remained on the gmail server in the inbox. When running out of disk recently, I prepared to migrate to a Mac by first moving my folders to the gmail server. I planned to later download those folders onto a Mac running Thunderbird. (Okay, so I'm a dedicated Thunderbird user! ) The gmail server began downloading all my mail again onto my PC. At present, I have some folders on the gmail server, and various file backups, disk images and original email files on different drives, but I cannot see all of my email or folders again in Thunderbird. I am looking for someone in the Bay Area, CA that may be able to help. Would you please let me know? Thanks much!

I created a Message Filter to move email from Inbox to a Local Folder based on Date. The email headers were moved, but not the contents. Since I'm using IMAP, all the emails were deleted from the server.
I searched for similar problems and I followed one suggestion to "repair" one of the target Local Folders, but that made things worse. Now the header information (Subject, From, Date (now set to the date the transfer was done, not the email received date) is all blank.
The Local Folder properties indicate the email is contained in mailbox:///C:/Users/Ted/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/c65xcqqf.default/Mail/Local Folders/Archives.sbd/2010
I can see the messages from other Local Folders here, but the ones "moved" are empty.
Should this location be changed?
Is there some way to recover the email contents?

This is something that was a problem a few weeks ago, was solved and has now reappeared. When sending an email using Thunderbird to a named group in my address book it immediately is returned as undeliverable, 'bad destination' and 'invalid domain'. Last time I found a way round it by selecting the desired group in my address book then clicking on 'write' button. This brings up each individual address but you then have to change the delivery from 'to' to 'bcc' on each one and when you have got lots in a group that is not possible.

Is collection detection for caldav in the works for the lightning extension? Issue with lightning integration with multiple collections.

Hello, i currently have a server running davical which serves my users' calendars, currently users which wish to use thunderbird and do not want to use the web interface for calendaring (and wish to use lightning instead) have to add each collection seperately, rather than just provide the base URL of their calendar info.
So instead on most calendar clients putting this as the calendar address:
davical_base_url/caldav.php/username/
and be done with it, they have to go through the new calendar wizard for each calendar/todo collection, and cannot easily create collections from within the lightning user interface, instead have to resort to either the calendar interface or the davical server interface to create/manage collections. They also have to figure out what the names of the collections are under davical, automatically generated collections have a large UID name instead of the example collection names. I.e. they have to add a bunch of URL's like this individually as calendars:
davical_base_url/caldav.php/username/work/ davical_base_url/caldav.php/username/personal/ davical_base_url/caldav.php/username/worktodo/ davical_base_url/caldav.php/username/personaltodo/ davical_base_url/caldav.php/username/8302E5D8-3630-419E-BCFC-A6A144D292C8/
Are there any workarounds for this or is it in the works? other calendaring applications in the ecosystem haven't had an issue, Android is fine, iOS is fine, CalDavZAP is fine.
Hopefully someone can help, Cheers.

I am connected to the network but for some reason I cannot access the internet, nor connect my mail. This started this morning when I got the message that Thunderbird did an automatic upgrade....then nothing. I've tried just about everything since this morning, then I called Microsoft help. We established that I am connected to the network but I still can't browse. Tried with IE, Safari, and Chrome. My other computers work perfectly!!! What seems to be the problem?
