Thunderbird does not render most Messages correctly, as shown in the Screenshot of the same Message. Also different Messages fail to render in Different ways. Some don't have any Text, some have a bit Text, others have a lot text, and sometimes the Message Information is shown, and Sometimes it is not.

I am on Thunderbird 128.2.3esr (64-bit) On current NixOS unstable. And I use the Plasma Desktop on Wayland.

Hello, I'm a Thunderbird user in Japan. I'm sharing my work with my co-worker, therefore, we have received exactly same emails on Thunderbird. And my email data from Outlook grown too big to handle. So, I would like to install my co-worker's email data to my new Thunderbird which has ongoing email data which is slightly different because I don't have the emails which range of date is from around August 20. Also, the range of date of his data is from around September 10. There is approximately roughly 1 month difference.

Therefore, I would like to install his email data. So, I tried to do as below:- My coworker extract "default" data. I changed below to above "default" data. (Above might be slight different, because I did this change on around September 10, so my memory is not sure to correct.) Tool > Account setting > Server Setting > Folder email data are stored Local Folder > Data Import > Import from Thunderbird which was installed separately > Import from "default" profile > Error which cause is unknown

Could you kindly let me know how to install the data to my Thunderbird?

Version of my PC is Windows11 23H2(OS build 22631.4249)

Thunderbird version: 128.3.0esr(64 bit)

When i delete any message, TB get unresponsive. It couldn't show any other messages but shows blank screen when try any folder. All folders become clear with no any message inside.

I should restart the TB to be able to access again the folders and messages.

Can anyone support to fix ? or what could be the reason for this issue ?

Since updating Thunderbird on Friday, the application crashes right after opening, even in safe mode. This happens repeatedly, after several reboots and restarting application in normal and safe mode.

OS: Windows 10 App version: latest unknown.

Please assist. Details below.

I just erased all my profile files, trashed the Application that was in my machine and installed a new one from scratch. It worked for a few hours but crashed again. Opening in Safe Mode gives the same result.

After my Thunderbird were upated to 128.3.0ESR (64 Bit), some received email have became some messy code. but some email are ok. but in my another computer whose Thunerbird is the old version, that email is ok.

I followed the instructions for transferring Thunderbird data from an old PC to a new one. ("Moving Thunderbird Data to a new Computer"). The only email messages that made the transfer were the ones I saved from Outlook Express that were imported into Thunderbird on the old PC in 2014. None of the emails existing in my two important account folders (set up in 2014) made the move. Those, of course, are the most important ones. Now what? PS: I am not an IT professional, just a small business owner that needs to transfer emails from the last couple of years to a new PC because the old one is obsolete. PPS: It was not possible to install Thunderbird on the new PC without creating an account - - the installation program refused to move forward to complete the installation without doing this step. If I understand the instructions in "Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer, I was not supposed to create any accounts during the installation process. However, that proved impossible - - the installer would not complete the process without doing this and there was no option to skip creating accounts. After I made my first attempt to install the "Thunderbird" folder (containing the Profile folder, etc.) on the new PC, and finding my most important email messages didn't make the trip with the rest of the Thunderbird folder, I tried deleting the account I had set up as a required step in the installation process in order to install TB on the new PC, then uninstalling Thunderbird, in order to clear the account that I had set up (one of the ones I am trying to transfer over). In other words, I tried to start over with installing Thunderbird on the new PC. However, when I downloaded and installed Thunderbird the second time on the new PC, it reinstalled the account I had deleted!

How can I implement my previous profile in 128.3.0 after inadvertent (release channel) automatic update to 131.0 followed by downgrade (uninstall/download/reinstall from thunderbird.net) to latest supported esr release, as recommended.

My last profile worked fine after auto update to 131.0 with emails, local folders, calendar, rules, contacts, etc. all available. Now, when attempting to launch or use that previous profile in reinstalled 128.3 popup advises: "You have launched an older version of Thunderbird." "A newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile which are no longer compatible with this older version. Use this profile only with that newer version or create a new profile."

Only options then available are "Exit" or "Create New Profile." TB 128.3 will recognize only a newly created generic profile, but not allow previous profile to be launched or set as default from Profile Manager.

Essentially, the options are: 1) Use your previous profile, but only with the Beta 131 release 2) Use the latest supported (128.3) release but only with a newly created profile, not yours.

I've seen this problem posted in several forms by people unknowingly on the "release" update channel who got the 131 release and can't implement their profile after downgrading to the esr release. The recommendations I've found to address this problem seem to lead one to a circular return to the problem.

I just ran a couple updates and now every time I open Thunderbird, Firebird opens also. On the ad screen to donate. This never happened until now. It is annoying since it opens over Thunderbird. How do I get it to stop? I do use it as my default browser, but when I want it. Thanks.

How do I change my Thunderbird mail passwords for my email accounts?? I tried YouTube which told me to go to tools then go to options. I don't have options on my Thunderbird program

I have changed settings to "html only" for outgoing messages, and i've taken down my security settings, and i've selected the "add link previews when pasting URL's" setting. however, i still can't see the normal thumbnail or the youtube "play video" box when i embed a youtube video link. any assistance would be greatly appreciated! thank you!

I recently had to reinstall windows, consequently reinstall Thunderbird. During installation I set up the account as I did years ago but it does not show my 23 folders. It shows only inbox & trash. So, I imported my account from a backup and it has all my folders. The problem is that both accounts have the same name, email address, & password. I would like to delete the account that has NO folders and use only the one with my 23 folders. Both accounts currently show all incoming emails. Will deleting the one account by any chance delete the other one since they are identical in name, email address, & password? Thanks.

I previously posted a question and it was answered by Matt however, the answer did not bring me a solution. Here it is again: I had a folder named Documents where I used to store important emails, receipts etc. I believe that after compacting the emails my folder disapeared along with 90 % of the content and now I have a new folder named Dolcuments 1 which I did not create myself. Can some one tell me perhaps how can I recover my previous folder ? and NO the repair option for the folder doesn't work.

Thunderbird Desktop recently upgraded to Version 128.3.0esr (Released October 1, 2024) and now my inbox folders are showing both read and unread messages and I can no longer find the button to switch to only show the unread messages.

Hello, Thunderbirders -

Much prefer Thunderbird bird to Outlook, but now dealing with an significant issue and hoping for help!

Our domain & mail server (HostGator) was recently subjected to an offshore cyber attack that hamstrung more of their clients than just ourselves. During the resolution, the HostGator tech was obliged (so he says) to wipe all our previous messages and essentially start the account all over again, so when I logged in to Thunderbird with the new password, eight (8) years' worth of e-mails were gone; they no longer exist on HostGator, and they themselves don't have any of them backed up :(

However, I have Thunderbird also running on a second computer on which I have not yet logged in with the new password; all the e-mails (at least the message titles) are still showing, and I am not attempting to open any of them while online. So my question is, does Thunderbird have any folder, perhaps not readily apparent, where copies of these messages still exist and may be recovered, absent pinging the host server? None of them were archived; they're all in my Inbox.

If no such duplicates exist anywhere off the server, can I create a secondary Thunderbird account to run on both my primary and secondary computers to send/receive along side the previous account, which can in some way be prevented to communicating with the host? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I called Spectrum technical support and asked them for the incoming and outgoing port numbers. Their incoming port is 993 and their outgoing port is 587. When I go back to change and think everything is fine and try to send a message it fails. It fails because something has reversed the port numbers to exactly the opposite of what they should be. I can receive email but cannot send email. Is there something going on that I don't know about? Thanks for your help.

When I click on any message, another (unrelated) message appears in the lower pane. The message that appears is always the same message; it is from hello@genomelink.io. The correct subject and sender appear OK in the upper pane; it's just the full message in the lower pane that is weird. This happens with most messages, but a few do appear correctly.

Dear Thunderbird team I am an avid user of TB (home desktop Windows PCs), but I have been resting on my laurels on v78 for a few years now. I know, shame on me. I would like to upgrade to a stable "modern" release (emphasis on "stable" please). Can you please advise if I should aspire to end up on 115 or 128, and how I might get there ? From reading some older blogs, there is advice that says.... first go to v91, then v102, then v115, and so. That seems a bit tortuous, but I am happy to do so if that is still the recommended approach.

Also, can you advise on how I manage my Profile through all this, do I need to do various exports/imports as I move through these different versions, etc.

Many Thanks

Why is changing column width so complicated and buggy under 128.3. Nebula on Mac?

simply want to enlarge From column - before Nebula - just do it. Now, pain in the back - only lets you do a bit and moves everything else and still doesn't let me do what I used to do. What a mess they made out of a great program !
