The majority of emails going to my inbox are being automatically moved to trash when I exit. I want to return to all emails going to my inbox and I manually make the determination if its trash or not

I use Thunderbird for three accounts; the business I own, my other work, and my personal account. Everything was working smoothly until we migrated the business I own from Namecheap to Zoho and added it back to Thunderbird. I have two accounts on Zoho, a role-based group account (info@mydomain) and a user account (myname@mydomain). It still shows up as three accounts, on my left folder pane, with those two emails set up as identities within a single account. Today I have been trying to archive emails and it is not working across any of my accounts, not my other work nor my personal account. The archive button simply does nothing. I tried changing the settings in Copies and Folders- everything is set up right. I looked in the Config editor and saw that archive_enabled and three other configurations only existed for one of the four identities and were completely missing (not just switched to false) for the others. I added those configurations back, but nothing is working. What happened? And how do I fix it?

All of a sudden my emails are permanently staying in bold in my folders, in Settings >Reading & Display Ive tried changing the 'Automatically mark messages as read radio buttons and quit etc and the same issue is happening, please advise

The export says to hold over pix. Computer says files are exported and continue on phone but phone is still stuck on importing. I don't know where the ap window is but I downloaded the latest version

I have four different email accounts. A week ago, all incoming and outgoing traffic suddenly stopped . Webmail works normally. I have no viruses, trojans, etc. I deleted one of the accounts and tried reinstalling it. I can't do it anymore. The system keeps responding: "Unable to authenticate to the server. Username or password configuration may be incorrect." But they are all abolutely correct. I don't know what else to do. Any clue? Thanks

I just installed ESR 140, coming from 115 (Win7). A change I find very bothersome is that when I now search the calendar (All Events) the results return a separate entry for each occurrence of a recurring event instead of just the one definition of the recurring event. How do I make the search behave as it did previously? I have dozens of recurring events that recur weekly and have been using Thunderbird for over a decade... I am staring at hundreds of duplicate search results which also temporarily freezes the app while they load in. This is not a functional design.

I recently updated windows and since then I have not been able to login to my emails and or recover contacts or calendar on thunderbird. I am able to login to my primary email but I have no contacts and am not able to login to my other 2 email accounts.

My old Win 11 laptop died. So, since I had an SDD adapter, I removed SDD drive from the old laptop and connected it to my new laptop.

- I had already set Thunderbird on the new laptop so I have an existing profile. - I was able, using the Import tool, to get my address book successfully transferred from the old profile. - And while the old calendar name appears in calendar pane, I don't see any of my appointments. - I tried create placeholder calendar, then deleting all the other calendars and retried but still no luck.

I don't want to just copy and paste all the contents from old profile into the new profile as I don't need my old emails or email account data. So, what should I do? Thanks for any help in advance

I imported an appointment into the calendar. I wanted to setup a reminder. The only option is "Show an alert". Is it possible to to create a reminder option other than "Show and alert"?

For the last two weeks I have noticed a marked decrease in the number of emails I am receiving. This is on my X@scratchmitt.com account email provider Gandi. I have attempted to contact Gandi but no response as yet. Is it possible the fault lies within my Thunderbird settings or installation?

I've been using Thunderbird for years but suddenly as of yesterday it's stopped receiving messages. First it told me my password was incorrect. Ever since then when I try to click "Get Messages," it simply has no response at all. Nothing happens. I went into my Thunderbird password settings, and upon seeing that the incoming-message password had for some reason reverted to an old, obsolete password, I corrected it and saved the correct one. I've checked several times and the passwords are correctly saved now. But this did not fix the problem. When I click "Get Messages," nothing happens. My Thunderbird is connected to my Earthlink account, which is working fine. When I go into Earthlink, I am able to send and receive messages as normal. So the problem is not with Earthlink but with Thunderbird.

Okay so I got the settings correct using the oauth2 setting, but inbox won't populate. I can send a test email from within Thunderbird but it's not receiving. I followed gemini advice and still have not been able to resolve this issue

I Shift/Deleted an email in my UNREAD search folder, & all emails in the folder disappeared, as well as the same unread emails in my Inbox. This happened twice in the last few months, with two different accounts (personal and business), both times on the UNREAD search folder. The emails are still in the profile - i opened the profile in Notepad and searched for them. I've given up on trying to get them back into the Inbox (spent several hours with aid from AI), but would like to continue to use Shift/Delete withut this happening. Thanks. Geoff
