Thunderbird Community Forum

I just installed Thunderbird on Linux Mint (version 22.2), when I launch the application it automatically logs into my email account on my Internet access provider. I do not want that. I want the way the old version started up: it opened my local folders on my local drive, listed previously down-loaded mail and on the left panel it listed the folders on my main (current) email account followed my the list of my other email accounts/names. The top menu let me (among other actions) select to download email to the local email directory. I do not want Thunderbird to automatically log onto my web account or sync my local directory to the online email account. When I want to read my email I want to select to download the mail from the server. When I want to access the online account I log onto it through my web host's cpanel tool.

My local hard drive has a thunderbird directory (in my home directly) from the previous Thunderbird version. It contains a subdirector labeled Mail, which contains a directory list of my email addresses, in addition to one labeled Local Folders. There is another subdirectory labeled Mail.sbd.

Is there a way the new version can be set up similar to the old version. The installed Thunderbird version is 140.9.0esr (64-bit)

For some time now my primary email address gets wiped clean every night and is empty every morning. I have to transfer received mail to another input address to keep it safe!

My friend Ken has been using Thunderbird successfully for a long time. in the last 2 weeks, yahoo popups have shown up that prevent Thunderbird email usage. How do we get rid of them?

The Subject line shows 'Invoice from XYZ' but the correspndents line show ABC. Both of these suppliers use Netsuite. This also happens with other emails from other Netsuite users.

Thunderbird in the past showed a red number above the dock icon telling me I had so many new emails. The newest version I now have does not do that and I cannot find a setting for that. Anyone know how to get the number back????

I have a Windows 11 operating system. I tried browsing/uploading a couple email messages describing providing more information but wasn't successful. Can you help me ?

Es bestehen 3 E-Mailadressen (Konten), Nachrichten werden immer in allen 3 Konten angezeigt und gespeichert, wie kann die Zuordnung geändert werden so das Nachrichten nur in den angesprochenen Adressen angezeigt und gespeichert werden?
