When I open Thunderbird email on my computer, it loads in my emails. These come from my Hostgator email server. The date and time of the emails show as the current date and time, not the actual date and time that the emails were received on the Hostgator server. For example, if an email was actually received on Hostgator 3 days ago at 5 pm. When I open Thunderbird at 9 am today, the date and time received will show today at 9 am. And nothing that I can see on the email that I have on my computer shows the actual receipt date. I have tried some things on my own, and I have chatted with AI and made some changes to what's showing on the headers. But nothing has worked to resolve the issue.

Hi,

On one of my accounts I have an enabled filter for incoming messages consisting of a Tag + Copy + Delete (see screenshot) When a new message arrives, the filter is executed TWICE (see screenshot of the log) , the copied message arrives TWICE at the destination (once tagged, once NOT tagged). In the deleted folder of the source there is only one message.

What might be gong on ? Why is the filter executed twice ?

PS : I also tried Tag + Move instead of Tag + Copy + Delete

I'm getting "Thunderbird can't connect to the server" message, so I can't download messages. However, a message or two will finally download 1-2 hours later.

Same problem on 2 laptops, both running Windows 11. But I know my emails are coming in as I can view them via Spectrum webmail. So the problem isn't the Spectrum servers.

I've logged out and back into Thunderbird, and have re-booted my laptops. No luck. What to do?

Also, is there a place to report problems directly to Thunderbird?

Thanks for any help.

I have been using Thunderbird for a very long time. Today is the first time I have seen this happen.

In the column on my left side that has my account and folders for those accounts it is showing 5 in my junk account. But in the preview window to the right of that column there is nothing showing as far as any entries as junk mail. It is completely blank. What do I need to do to clear this 5 from the left column Junk folder??

I have tried resetting the machine and that did not work. I even went into the webmail site for my email provider and there is no junk email showing there at all so as far as my email provider goes, it looks like everything is working there.

This happens erratically, not every time. Annoying when trying to select a message to delete and the one before or after or both also deletes at same time. Now I have to go and retrieve it back to inbox. Checked in settings and cant find a solution. Also looked in pad and mouse settings to no avail. Seems to have started in last 2 or 3 months, can't be specific of time line.

1. There is not a relevant "topic" above for this question 2. How can I print a 1 page email on 1 piece of paper? View headers are set to Normal. I get one page with From, To, Reply to, & Subject then body on next page. I used to just select Print and my emails printed normally. I have been using Thunderbird for more than 20 years with out this problem
