I keep getting the error "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox." when I try to get my messages, or delete them.

I have tried: Restarting TB Shutting off my anitvirus and restarting TB Rebooting the computer

This started sometime yesterday (7/6) morning, at a time when I was not doing anything on my computer. Or at least that is the last mail that downloaded successfully I am using release 140esr (64 bit) supposedly released this morning.

When you install Thunderbird it gives you "Extra Folders" Such as "ALL MAIL" "IMPORTANT" and "STARED" my question is can I delete these and not delete the email messages they contain? They contain some very important email which are in my other folders and I do not want to lose them,, So if I delete them does it delete the emails that are in there and also in other folders?

Thank you very much

Recently installed Thunderbird for Android on my Pixel 7. The migration seemed to work, however, the folders on my accounts are empty. My guess is an error in communication. The account email addresses are correct. Cannot find a setting or security setting addressing the issue. I am using OAuth2. Was never asked for a pin or password during the migration process. Just used the download on Google Play. Successfully migrated Thunderbird to my tablet. Similar issue, except after 2 days and multiple downloads it just started working. Any help would be appreciated.

Wcześniej funkcja działała i miałem zbiorcze wyszukiwanie wiadomości odebranych i wysłanych. Prośba o pomoc.

Good day,

I have a problem with searching for received messages. When I enter the CITR+K search engine and enter a thread or the e-mail of a correspondent, Thunderbird only searches for sent messages, and unfortunately I do not have a preview of the replies.

Previously, the function worked and I had a collective search for received and sent messages.

Request for help.

Best regards, Sebastian Burski

My ISP has a spam filter. It's not perfect, so I don't just have it delete spam, I set it to put messages they determine to be spam in the spam folder. Then I can go through them and catch those that aren't really spam and use them to train the ISPs spam filter by marking them "NOT SPAM" on the server. All good.

But there are a few that send literally HUNDREDS of different spam messages over say a year's time. And I'd like to mark these to DELETE by FROM address or even just domain. So I set them up as manual message filters, with a DELETE action. But since the ISP moves these to the SPAM filter befure Thunderbird even sees them, the Thunderbird message filters miss them. And they'r there in my Spam folder. This isn't critical, just annoying.

So, is there a way to mark messages to DELETE in the SPAM folder? It appears that the message filters can't see them because they're already i the spam folder.

I have looked at past comments about the lack of an address book with Thunderbird for Android and the responses are not how life works. If I had to save every contact in my Google contacts it would have tens of thousands of contacts and be unusable because it was so large.

The way life works, you mat correspond with someone you are doing business with from one or 2 times, over the couse of a month until the task is done, and maybe for the rest of your life, who you would put in your address book.

I am currently apply for a ------. I am corresponding with a group of individuals until it closes and then I will never correspond with them again.

It is a hassle to go back to the previous email to copy their email addresses. It would be nice if TB remembered that I have been corresponding with them, and auto fill their address, like the desktop version and other email apps. Likewise, I don't want to save them in permanent contacts. If I had to do that, my permanent contacts would be unmanageable.

So yes, Thunderbird needs an address book like the desktop version. This is a deal breaker. TB was excellent in synchronization with the servers but if I have to go back the previously received emails to get their addresses, I'll have to bail on TB.

Please listen, you can see I'm not the only one.

I have an intermittent problem deleting email. This is a recent problem that has never occurred before, so it may be a problem with a recent update. Usually deletion works fine, but occasionally when I try to delete a single email, nothing happens. If I shut down and restart Thunderbird, the email can be deleted with no problem. This seems to happen right after I "Get Messages", or after I try to delete while new messages are or have just finished loading. Any suggestions?

Since the beginning of July (latest update) Thunderbird cannot download any new emails.

Then it says no messages to download. The little blue progress bar also disappears. I have checked the server settings. I am using Pop Mail Server, server name is mail.optusnet.com.au, user name is my email address, Port is 995, Connection is SSL/TLS and Authentication is Normal password. I have tried turning off Firewall and Antivirus and still not coming through. Its like it connects and it can see the emails but it cant pull them across. I am not a computer person. I dont know how to check any more than this. Please can someone help me. I have been using Thunderbird for many years and this issue has happened in the past but always resolved itself. TIA

Is compacting Maildir folders necessary?

I'm trying to better understand how Thunderbird communicates that messages are deleted to the servers of the respective email accounts configured as IMAP. Specifically, it seems that when moving a message from an IMAP folder, such as an Inbox, to a folder of a different email account or a Local Folder, the message disappears from Thunderbird but doesn't immediately get deleted from the server (I am checking by logging in through a browser to the email's web interface). Depending on the email provider, it may be marked or flagged as "deleted" or in some cases it just remains in the inbox (in outlook's web interface, for example, I can't tell if a message has been marked as deleted or not). Only later, after right-clicking on the respective inbox in Thunderbird and choosing "Compact" it deletes the message from the server.

I'm a bit confused now: All of my accounts are using maildir (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/maildir-thunderbird) as storage format, which I selected prior to adding any account. According to the information here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/compacting-folders), "Compact does not apply to accounts using the maildir storage format". So for maildir accounts, why do I have a "compact" option at all and how come it doesn't delete messages immediately? Or perhaps I'm misunderstanding either what compact means or maildir or (probably) both? Is there a way to have Thunderbird simply delete (not just "mark as deleted") moved messages instantly?

I was under the impression that since maildir stores essentially one file per email message, that it would function like file management on a computer, so when moving a message from folder A to folder B the file/message would disappear from folder A, not that it would keep a copy "marked as deleted" in folder A. If anybody could explain this I would be most grateful.

For events with a reminder that have a specific duration (e.g., Wednesday from 10 AM to 11 AM), I receive notifications. However, when I create a full-day event and want to be reminded, for example, 1 day before, I don't receive any notification. Additionally, events with a reminder are not shown in bold in the calendar overview (whether they have a specific duration or are all-day events). Can you please help me?

Hello!

I'm in the process of migrating from Evolution to Thunderbird, but I seem to have hit a snag. In Evolution, there is an "Archive" folder, which any archived messages go into (attachment 1). This same folder also appears in K9 Mail (my mobile email client), and similarly is treated as special. In that first attachment, you can also see the "Archives" folder created by Thunderbird, which Evolution does not give any special treatment to.

However, in Thunderbird, the "Archive" folder is completely absent, both in the folder listing on the main page and in the "Copies & Folders" settings where an Archive folder would normally be selected (figure 2). Notice that the "Archives" folder is still present, and is now given special treatment, but the "Archive" folder is absent. Checking the contents of the "Archives" folder confirms that it doesn't contain the emails which K9 Mail and Evolution have been archiving.

Is there a way to access those archived emails from Thunderbird?
