Is there a way to turn on a third line in the message list to see the "preview text" (35-40 characters) that appears in most modern email programs? This is so helpful in quickly deciding which emails to open among the hundreds that arrive in our inboxes these days. Many mass mailers include these "preview texts" to provide additional information about the content. Coming from Outlook and Apple Mail on PCs, tablets, and phones, I miss these. The third line in the entries in the Thunderbird message list is mysteriously blank. I looked for a checkbox in settings, but couldn't find one.

сегодня столкнулся с проблемой, что не могу создать учетную запись, используя домены от mail.ru. на скриншоте показал результат моих действий: я как обычно ввел почту, поставил пароль, заранее в самой mail почте разрешил использование imap, а когда нажал готово и разрешил доступ в самом thundebird, то окошко с входом просто закрывается и пишет "не могу войти на сервер", хотя я даже не ввел пароль. это происходит со всеми доменами типо inbox и т.д, с gmail все работает нормально. помогите пожалуйста

I had to reinstall thunderbird. With all the correct information of settings from my internet carrier, I still can't send email. I can get them, I just can't send any. I get an error message that my server has timed out. I've already contacted my carrier and they couldn't help. I'm able to receive and send email directly using their webmail online site, but not with Thunderbird. Help! Nicole

Am I missing it, or is there no undue function for Thunderbird mobile on Android. I don't know about anybody else, but I occasionally delete an email I don't want to. It would be really nice just to have an undo button to get it back rather than have to search through deleted emails.

Does anyone have correct server setting for Thunderbird so that I may access my optonline.net email account.

My sent folder has stopped displaying the sent emails. This has happened in about the last 10 days. Before that is was displaying them perfectly ok. I've tried all the suggestions but they are ALL old , and there's nothing there that has helped me.

Hello Team,

I have configured an POP account in Thunderbird. I had been using it since more than 5 years without any issue. But recently since last 5-6 months I am facing some weired issue. Whenever some junk/spam emails received in this account are quarantined by McAfee installed on my laptop, the entire inbox gets corrupted. I can see the headers in Inbox marked as unread but it is not displayed. Simultaneously all the earlier read emails are also not displayed only headers can be seen in inbox marked as read. If I try to repair the inbox all the emails in inbox are deleted. All other local folders, sent emails folder etc are not disturbed. It is annoying to lose the earlier email and relevant data.

This happens very frequently now a days.

The new emails received after the quarantine are properly displayed.

I have used Thunderbird for years with no problems until Outlook made changes. Now I cannot sign in to Thunderbird. I get the message: Login to server imap-mail.outlook failed, then I can retry, doesn't work, or enter new password. I went to imap-mail.outlook.com and enter a new password. Still get same failed message when I try to login. Anyone experienced this problem and any solutions? Thanks

Just spent a couple of frustrating hours on what should be a 2-minute task, and hoping someone can point me the right way. I manage a bunch of mailing lists for a small non-profit. Just got a group of new email addresses. I need to add them to a new mailing list, then after I've verified that they're valid and that the people do in fact want to get these emails, merge them into at least two of the existing mailing lists. I have them in a CSV file. First problem was finding where "create a mailing list" had moved - no longer on File - New in Address Book (why, by the way? That's the logical spot for it.). Then found that there's no way to import a file of addresses into a mailing list - they can only be imported into an address book. Ok, I'll import into a new address book, then create a mailing list, then drag and drop the contacts from the new address book into the new mailing list (which is both what I'd have expected to work, and what a support article I found said). Not what I wanted, because the new mailing list will be under the new address book, which is not where it needs to be, but I'll deal with that later. Nope - doesn't work. I can select any of or all the contacts, I can drag them, but everywhere on the panel has the "not permitted" symbol *except* another address book, which does me no good at all. Ok, try creating a new mailing list where I actually want it to be, then cutting and pasting the names and addresses from another file. Nope, can't find any way to cut and paste 2 fields into a mailing list in edit mode and have the data go where it needs to be, even a single contact, much less a bunch of them. It seems bizarre that something as fundamental as mailing lists would be as difficult to use as it seems, so I'm hoping I've missed something obvious. Currently on 128.7.0, BTW - I usually let TB update whenever it asks. Windows 10 on that box, but also pretty up to date.

I was emailing a colleague. It was working fine and now I am getting a message that it prevented because it is deemed phishing.

It is a good email address and welcome correspondence. How do I regain the ability to send him emails.

I've been using Tbird for many years for multiple accounts, and I have the junk filter turned on so it's supposed to learn when I mark a message as junk. But I have noticed recently that even when I mark messages as junk, if more of the same come in, they don't get caught by the filter as they ought to be.

1. Is there a limit after which the filter no longer learns?
2. It's the same filter, no matter how many accounts, right?
3. If I UNmark a message accidentally marked as junk, does it reverse that pattern in the filter?
4. If I highlight a group of unmarked messages and mark them all junk, does it learn from them?

What is the status of the promised Thunderbird Sync functionality and development? Being able to sync settings, rules, filters across clients would be hugely helpful for me so I am very much anticipating Thunderbird Sync and would like an update since there is no recent information about it online that I could find. Thank you.

I have been using Thunderbird for my email for a number of years now. I don't understand why, when I repeatedly block a particular email, the 'blocked' email message comes through to my email box anyway.

I want email addresses I block TO BE BLOCKED from getting to me...Please...

I recently updated Thunderbird to Nebula v139.0 and now my "Recent Destinations" list is not saving all my folders in its list after moving / copying emails to the destination folder I selected. It seems that the "Recent Destinations" list is only saving (or maybe just displaying) folders with names beginning with "A" - "N". If I move an email to a folder with its name beginning with "O" - "Z", the email will be moved to the appropriate / selected folder, but the folder (destination) name will NOT appear in the "Recent Destinations" list.

This latest version of Thunderbird has all sorts of bugs. I can't open or view email, can't save drafts & send messages (get errors: failed to save drafts & send message). I constantly reinstall the app: works fine at 1st; but then the same bugs keep resurfacing. Is there a way to go back to the earlier release version? Thunderbird was working fine before this latest version was installed.
