Thunderbird has always had a problem with filtering all incoming mail to the correct folders. Sometimes it does it correctly and sometimes it doesn't. But this morning it is dumping all my incoming mail into a folder that isn't the Incoming mail folder.

How do I get it to put the incoming mail in the Incoming folder?

When I open Thunderbird it is sending my emails directly to the deleted folder. I have tried all-sorts and cannot find an answer. I transferred Thunderbird to my new PC and all was working okay for a few weeks then all of a sudden there were emails missing from my inboxes and I found them in the deleted folder. I am 76 years old and need an easy step by step solution please ..... John

When in troubleshoot mode it seems to work better but I do not see anything to disable. After I log into this account without thunderbird all the missing emails come over.

Does troubleshoot mode affect just the one account or all my accounts. If just the one I can leave it in that mode permanently unless you think that will cause a problem. This is only been happening recently to the best of my knowledge unless I was unaware of the problem .

The account in question is optonline.net

I have a large number of filters, and an important email was processed to move message into a folder. but the filter had no rule that would apply to the message. all the filter criteria were based on the sender, but that email did not have that sender. the filter log shows the filter being applied anyway. I suspect the filter database is corrupted. How can I fix that? i noticed my version is slightly out of date, and I will update it, but I dont expect that would fix a corrupted filter database .

9.6.2026. Spoke with Spectrum, my carrier, to ensure email protocols were correct. They checked from their end and the problem is with Thunderbird protocols. There is no rhyme or reason to incoming emails. Sometimes they have their content but days have gone by where only the subject line/date/time stamp shows. What is going on???

This is probably not a T-bird question, per se, but it is so strange it seems that this might be the best place to start, hoping someone might have some insight.

My wife and I each have our own laptops, running Win-11 Pro. Each laptop has T-bird 153.2.0esr (32-bit). We each have an account to yahoo mail (the site now hosting our Comcast email accounts). No problems since ... forever. Until today.

Now, beginning today, on my wife's laptop, when she opens T-bird, she gets a pop-up logon page, pre-loaded with her userid/email address. No input field for a password, but that it not unusual, as a lot of sites put that on a follow-up. But when we click 'next', it just rejects it. We were able to log into the yahoo mail web page (in Firefox) just fine.

After a lot of head scratching, I added her account to the T-bird configuration on my laptop. First time up, it prompted for credentials, but here it accepted them. So now we have her yahoo/comcast account configured and working just fine on my laptop, but continue to get credentials rejected running the same config on hers. Again, this has been working just fine up until today.

(If you are wondering about the connection between Comcast and Yahoo, several years ago we 'cut the cable' with Comcast, after confirming they would continue to support our email accounts. Then some time ago, they off-loaded that to Yahoo, such that we were able to retain our Comcast email address, but it redirected to and is hosted on Yahoo.)

Inbound emails are going to Trash instead of Inbox.

No changes have been made. How can I check settings to find a solution? I see nothing related to this issue. Thanks for any help.

When sending a message, the email reaches the recipient but is not saved in the sender’s account. This email is not displayed anywhere — neither in the web version nor in Thunderbird. Please help resolve the issue.

I use IMAP and I've allowed remote content from particular sources (not all). Sometimes I work in offline mode. When I do, I accept Thunderbird's offer to "download messages for offline use before going offline." This appears to download my IMAP server's messages, but not the (allowed) remote content. As a workaround, I've found that opening each message in my inbox before going offline is sufficient to cache the remote content, but that's tedious. It'd be nice if the "download messages for offline use" would cache the (allowed) remote content when it downloads the messages.

So I think this is a feature request unless I'm doing something wrong. And if this is the wrong place to submit feature requests, please let me know. Thank you!

After changing the password in a browser (Mac), only emails from August 9th repopulate (5 of them from different senders). There were about 25 of each email piled up and that is why I changed the password. I deleted all of them, changed password again a week later; but only those 5 same August 9th emails populate again. When I updated and restarted third after changing yahoo password, it took me to the yahoo webpage asking permission for third to access mail and I agreed. Not sure if there is some setting to change in Tbird?

I have successfully used Thunderbird to receive my Earthlink emails up until today. I check on webmail and see many new emails but they do not download to my Thunderbird application. I've changed nothing. Was there some change at Thunderbird? What to do to fix this?

Aloha. I'm helping a friend with setting up a new Windows 11 PC, and cannot get Thunderbird to connect to Spectrum's servers. I spent an hour on the phone with Spectrum support and they just gave up and said it must be an issue with Thunderbird. Here are the details:

- Brand new Dell 24 All-in-One EC24250 - Windows 11 25H2 plus all additional fixes. - All Dell drivers updated. - Thunderbird V155.0 64-bit

If I click on 'Get Messages' after a while I get: "Connection to server mail.twc.com timed out". I've gone into the config editor and changed mailnews.tcptimeout from 100 to 500 and still get the error.

In the Account Settings | Server Settings | Test server connection I get: An error occurred connecting to mail.twc.com:993.

I've tried this with both setting up a brand new account in Thunderbird, and also via copying the 'Thunderbird' folder from %appdata%\roaming from her old machine.

Email configuration (from Spectrum).

IMAP Settings Server name: mail.twc.com Port: 993 user name: abcd@hawaii.rr.com Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password

SMTP settings Server Name: mail.twc.com Port 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal password

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this scenario?

hi, in the last few days i have been having issues receiving emails from btinternet.com but only to my inbox (other folders are updating) i am getting the error message The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account username@btinternet.com responded: EXPUNGE failed. i have removed the account and re-set it up, i have made sure expunge on exit is disabled, repair does nothing on the inbox, nor does compact etc. i have run out of ideas hy this is happening, so i downloaded bluemail, to see if the problem came from thunderbird itself. it is working fine on there and immediately updated all my mails. with no issues. i have tried deleting the folder 'username'@btinternet.com and the msf files. i need help to figure out why this is happening. i checked the IMAP settings and its all correct and the same as in bluemail. also worth noting i can SEND emails no problem too from that account, just not receive them... i have tried to add as many relevent screenshots as i can think of.

Logged into Thunderbird this morning. On current version. Noticed that the local trash folder had emails in it. I have not changed any of the multiple account setting. Send some test emails fro 2 accounts and they ended up in the local folder trash. What has happened. I want this redirection to stop. What other demons have been created by the current update. HOW CAN i fix this problem?

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <anonymous@[10.0.0.31]>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user a1.914306843. Please check the message recipient "christine.krieger@a1.net" and try again.

why do I get this on new download

all of a sudden I'm not getting any new emails and some of my emails that I got won't come up or unbold. I didn't do anything to the program. I haven't fooled with it. I saw there was an upgrade recently from 154 to 155. when did this happen?

I have 5 email accounts on my desktop and the emails are doing funny things. Now they finally loaded but they aren't coming up or unbolding in one of the addresses. In another address I was able to pull up the emails and they unbolded but then all of the new ones bolded again and I couldn't pull the last two up

do you have to contend with Windows upgrades? Do windows upgrades affect Thunderbird? I don't 'fool' with my computer as I'm not very computer literate.

Hi!

I can't get messages from my Thunderbird account. When I click "Get messages" nothing happens and it usually says "Done" on the bottom left corner. I have to use my domain's webmail account to get my e-mail and it only allows me to read it and delete junk.

I really would love to have my Thunderbird account working again as soon as possible.

Thanks so much, Nancy Pedersen

As of September 3, 2026 all my new emails are going into a random folder instead of the inbox. This is also happening on my wife's PC plus and we are not getting the emails to our iPhones until we get out of Thunderbird. What has changed? This has not happened before.
