Thunderbird コミュニティフォーラム

I remember a time, where it was possible to simply drag a contact to a new mail to send it to friends. Shortly I wanted to send my wife a contact she lost, but it was no more possible, to attach it to a mail. Even an export of this single contact is not possible. Why?

I don't like to export the whole contact folder for her, because there are many contacts she will never use. So it should be possible to export 1 single contact as .vcf alone.

I would be happy, if the developers would rebuild this functionality for a future update. Thanks.

I created a new subfolder using my laptop

Now I'm on the desktop PC, same account, but the new subfolder isn't showing and I can't find how to add it (subscribe to it)

Sorry to be dumb

Hi All,

Thuderbird 140.12.0esr (aarch64)

iMac 24Gb M4 Chip macOS Tahoe 26.4

When I request a search through Unified Folders Inbox for 10 email addresses using Quick Filter, CPU goes to 80% or more, and response is 10-15 seconds. Main search appears to be ok. Only add-on was a printer service but has been disabled and problem still remains. In troubleshooting mode, search still causes high CPU, even though I can only search one email address. Just started about 2-3 days ago (around 17-18 June).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

This morning I realised I did not have a Unified Sent folder. There was a Sent folder in my list of folders in the Unified Folders section but there were no child folders and it was empty when I clicked on it. The Unified Folders for Inbox and Deleted were fine and I could click the arrow and select individual email accounts, it was only the Sent folder which was affected.

I tried numerous things, including clicking on each email account's Sent folder and clicking on 'Repair' and I think this iis what fixed it and now I have child folders in Sent and that seems to be working correctly... BUT now my Unified Inbox has disappeared!!! There is a folder called Inbox in the Unified Folders list but it is empty. If I right-click on it, there is no option to 'choose' any folders. I've tried clicking on each inbox and clicking repair (as this seemed to fix the sent folder issue), but it had no effect. I've renamed my virtualFolder.DAT to virtualFolder.old and I can see a new virtualFolder has been created, nothing has worked. Can anyone please help??

A large list of participants will extend the content of the "Edit Event" window beyond the threshold of the window, making all checkboxes (Notify attendees, etc.) and part of the list inaccessible.

This will also affect the Description and Attachments tabs.

With a lot of moving and resizing, the window can be resized to show everything, but then it extends far beyond the size of the screen. This is impractical.

The list of participants should never exceed the confines of the window and should be scrollable.

140.12.0esr (64-bit) on Ubuntu 24.04.

I am using Linux Mint and Thunderbird v140ESR.

I have searched the knowledgebase here to find out how to add an attachment to an email. All the screenshots are for the Windows version, even though I have selected my version from the selector on the RHS:

Any advice gratefully received.

Hello, It's been a few days Thunderbird freezes when I want to save a message on the computer (save as). When I close the saving window which is not responding, it automatically saves the message on my desktop. The file where the last message was successfully saved is still existing so I don't think it is a path problem. I have tried to restart it without the add-on but it doesn't change anything. And it is up-to-date. Anyone knows what the problem could be? Thank you! Estelle

I'm trying to trim down my hard drive, and I see that my Profiles folder has 2 ImapMail subfolders. In the first of them, imap-gmail, I have 14 All Mail files numbered "-1" to "-13" plus the most recent All Mail (today's date), unnumbered. Most of these All Mail files are quite large. Can I delete all of them except the most recent, unnumbered one? In the second subfolder, imap-gmail1, the files are all from before 2025, and instead of multiple "All Mail" files I have multiple "rstmp" files. What's the deal? Can I delete this whole folder? Is it a backup? Thanks for your help. FYI, I'm up to date in Windows 11 and Thunderbird, with a fairly new computer. I hope I've provided enough into. Looking forward to your help. all the best, Steve

hello, i had a friend and his father needed urgently to migrate his thunderbird with 1 email to a new computer but he wasnt able to setup the emailaccount in a new german client. i helped and the problem was that the setup asks for the password but it meant the password from the emailprovider to allow thirdpartyapps access. please consider to improve the german setup wizard by adding a new textline to clearify. best regards
