This has been happening for a long long time - probably a few years' worth of versions. I have just put up with it... currently running Tbird 147 and it just happened.

When editing an email (either the body or the Subject), if you use the backspace button (the one that deletes to the left) to delete some text sometimes the cursor will incorrectly be positioned about 5 or 6 characters further left than it should.

For example, if I had the text: "Quick brown fox jumps over the moon"

If I were to highlight "fox" in the above example, and hit backspace, I would expect the cursor to end up positioned between the remaining spaces after 'brown' ( pipe symbol here is meant to represent the cursor position): "brown | jumps"

But instead what happens is that the cursor ends up somewhere among/before the word "brown". It's always further left than it should be, by 5 or 6 characters.

I believe it only happens when highlighting multiple characters and then hitting backspace. It may be more (only?) prevalent when editing/replying to an existing email. (But I'm still only editing the new portions that I add at the top of the email; I'm almost never editing in amongst the original quoted email content.)

I also haven't ever been able to figure out how to make it happen, sorry. It is just random...It will happen once in an email, but then not again. But it happens frequently - 3-6 times a day perhaps. (Depends on how many emails I am editing.  :) )

I don't believe that I have noticed this issue if I were using the Delete button (deletes things to the right). I don't think it happens when backspacing one character at a time...but it might. I also use Option-Backspace to delete whole words at a time (instead of highlighting the word); not exactly sure if it happens only if highlighting a word, or only if Option-Backspace, or single key press... sorry, it is so random and unexpected that I don't have more specifics.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could filter all emails in our INBOX by their date received/sent, then Select All, and move them to an Archive folder? If only by YEAR, say 2023, then into that Archive sub-folder - this would make emptying one's INBOX easier. Or am I an idiot, and this is already possible?

Dear Sir / Madam, I am still running a perfectly good Win 7 computer. My Mail Inbox & Sent Box have a huge number of Emails i have been trying to delete in batches. They initially go to my Deleted folder which shows the number of emails collected. I then empty the deleted folder. so far so good, except the huge file size in my inbox or sent box hasn’t changed! But the deleted folder is now showing empty! The emails i selected to delete seem to have disappeared, but i have not recovered any disk space! I am running out of disk space in C drive because i cannot seem to remove these emails. I have tried shutting down my computer & rebooting (i shut it down every night) this has no effect.

If i had a tool to open the sent / inbox file i could manually delete emails in old date order? Hope someone out there can help.

Kind regards Nick

I have just installed Thunderbird on my Android phone and using my desktop Thunderbird exported my email address to the Thunderbird mobile. This worked OK. Just for the record, this is my first time with Android version of the Thunderbird, and I can't find the inbox folder. Could you please guide me how to do it? Many thanks.

Since a few weeks ago every time I try to drag an email from the inbox to a folder (I'm not ever trying to drag it out of Thunderbird), if I falter with the mouse or try to drag it a second time I get dialog box asking if I want to replace a file that already exists in the "mozDraggedFiles" folder. e.g.:

 CONFIRM
 /var/folders/4g/sjfdskjgdsklfi098ds09jsejre/T/mozDraggedFiles/<subject_of_email>.eml Already exists do you want to replace it? Y/N

Clearly a temp folder for stored copies of emails before they get moved/copied somewhere.

There's a similar bug reported here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1983616

Which links to another couple of bugs, but all are talking about dragging files to desktop or other location but not about dragging them within the program.

Presumably once a dragged email reaches it's destination the copy in the mozDraggedFiels folder ought to be cleared right? I wonder why that has changed recently, I'm pretty sure I haven't had this issue before.

Also to make matters worse when the dialog box comes up, it is only displayed locally to the machine to screens connected directly to it and if I am remoting in with share screen or something like jump desktop the machine essentially hangs/disconnects until the dialog box is closed!

Anyone else getting this ?

I'm on OSX 15.1 and Thunderbird143.0.1 (aarch64) R.

Bonjour Désolée, je ne sais pas écrire en Anglais, mais je pose ma question ici, au cas où une bonne âme pourrait m'aider. Je suis nulle en informatique, le minimum... -Mon mail ' nadetted@free.fr ' a basculé sur ZIMBRA, et je n'aime pas du tout fonctionner avec.

                 Les 2 adresses mails sont les mêmes, et je me perds dans les mots de passe.

-Sur l'ordi, mes mails vont jusqu'au 29 novembre ? .et on me demande "Saisissez votre mot de passe pour nadetted sur imap.free.fr : *alors que je n'en ai jamais mis, et accédais direct à mes mails.

-Ensuite j'ai cela  :: "échec de la connexion depuis le serveur imap.free.fr avec le nom d’utilisateur nadetted"

                                 *le serveur IMAP .free serait déconnecté !?

-Sur le GSM, je vois mes mailsl jusqu'au 15 décembre 2025 ?  !

-J'arrive à voir mes mails sur Zimbra, mais je voudrais sortir de là et récupérer *sans pertes de dossiers etc, ma boîte mail d'avant  :: nadetted@free.fr classique, que j'ai depuis très longtemps. Cela est-il possible SVP ? -Depuis, j'ai de gros soucis de connexion avec mes contacts et RV médicaux, nous sommes des personnes âgées, et personne pour nous conseiller. Je pense à un Bug, ou une mise à jour défaillante ? Je suis en W10

-J'espère que quelqu'un pourra me lire, voir me contacter en Français, sur mon mail de secours : [edited from public] @laposte.net ou [edited from public community support forum] @free.fr Bien à vous Merci Mme Benard France

My internet service provider is Optimum. I do have an optimum account for my email. But my account for my emails uses Thunderbird. I kept getting alerts that I couldn't move emails to specific local folders to save. So, I went into my optimum account and deleted the emails in my inbox, junk and trash. when I returned to my thunderbird account, all of my emails in my inbox that I have already read, are gone. Wiped clean, no emails any longer. Is there someway to retrieve these lost emails?

I have a local folder which has 90 folders within it. These are folders brought over from Eudora (the mail system I used before Thunderbird). It would help me if I could easily move all 90 from their current "Eudora" folder to the big "main" folder that Thunderbird has. To make it clear what I'm asking, here's an example, using two folders, Danbury and Fritz.

D (folders whose names begin with D) Eudora folder, which has two folders - Danbury and Fritz F (folders whose names begin with F)

Is there any way to move the 2 folders that are currently within the "Eudora" folder so that they're "first level" folders. In other words, Danbury would be among the "D" folders and Fritz would be among the "F" folders.

The only way I know to achieve this is by manually creating the new folders, moving the items from the old folder to the new folder, and then deleting the old folder. This is cumbersome.

Tried to send a rather routine email on Outlook account. Wouldn't send. Checked settings. Outgoing server, which I set to smtp-mail.outlook.com, had "magically" changed to an outlook365 server. Switched it back. Still wouldn't send. After some investigation and some suggestions from copilot, I noticed my Surfshark VPN was on. I don't run it all the time, just when I need it to log onto blocked sites. Copilot said: Surfshark is notorious for silently blocking outbound SMTP ports — especially 587, 465, and 25. Switched outgoing port to 465 as suggested by Surfshark support and tried to send again, without Surfshark on. Still wouldn't send. Finally went to outlook.live.com to send the message. Went OK. Kinda baffled. Anyone help?

Hi, I did something stupid. I accidentally deleted an entire year's worth of emails. I was in the process of archiving them, and mistakenly thought that the originals had been left in the inbox. I thought I needed to re-archive them, so I deleted the copies from the archive folder, and then - this is the stupid part - emptied the trash in the archive folder. When I went back to the inbox to re-archive the emails, I realized they were no longer there. I have not compacted the folder. Is there any way to recover the deleted emails?
