Is there a way to sort Favorite folders? I've tried dragging them to a new order with horrible consequences. Instead of changing the order, the actual folder was moved to a sub-folder position within the actual folder I was trying to move to the position beneath it.

In other words, if I have Favorite folders: A, B, C, E, F, D and I want to move Folder D to the position after C and before E, dragging D to C will cause the physical location of the Folder D to be moved to a sub-folder position of Folder C in the email account.

If you then move it back to it's correct position AND folder D had sub-folders as well, you will then get the error message for any of Folder D's sub-folders: Unable to open the summary file for FOLDER D's SUBFOLDER NAME. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long.

BTW: is there a way to fix that error as well?

I think it started to happen with Version 128.9.0esr | Released April 1, 2025. It is very simple to reproduce: 1. Start TB. 2. TB downloads new messages and continues to do it every 1 minute according to the setting. 3. In 10 to 20 minutes, it hangs. I have to force it to close and then restart it to check my email.

I believe it started to happen yesterday.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I need to combine thoughts on a song into a summary I could use to summarize the emotions in a song and how i me dd of feel the song if I send it could you do that The father knows and accepts that this is the natural progression of life, that his daughter deserves love and happiness with a partner of her own choosing. The lyrics acknowledge this: "And it's gonna be your best day," and he participates in the tradition of walking her down the aisle. This shows his willingness to let go and his hope for her future. However, that lingering doubt, that feeling that no one is quite "good enough," surfaces in subtle ways: • "And it's gonna break my heart when she gives hers to you": This isn't just about the loss of her primary affection; it carries a hint of worry. Will this man truly cherish that precious heart? Will he understand its worth as deeply as her father does? • "She might be your better half / Yeah, but she's my everything": This line highlights the father's unique and irreplaceable perspective. While acknowledging the future husband's importance, he firmly states his own profound connection, almost as a quiet assertion of her inherent value, a value he's known since her birth. • "We'll both love her forever / But I loved her long before": This isn't a competition for love, but it subtly underscores the depth and history of his affection. It's a gentle reminder of his foundational role and a silent question: can this new love truly grasp the entirety of her being as he has witnessed it unfold? • "Buddy, that don't mean she's yours": This repeated line isn't about ownership in a possessive way, but more about the enduring nature of his connection. It's a gentle pushback against the idea that marriage fully transfers his "baby girl" into someone else's complete care. There's an underlying sentiment of "you have a part of her now, but a part of her will always be mine, the little girl I raised." • The overall tone: While there's acceptance, there's also a layer of melancholy and a protective instinct that suggests a slight unease. He's happy for her, but there's a quiet sadness at the shift and a hope that this new man will truly be worthy of the treasure he's receiving. The Emotional Something You're Sensing: You're picking up on the beautiful complexity of this moment. It's not a simple handover; it's a father navigating the joy of his daughter's happiness with the inherent vulnerability of letting her go and trusting someone else with her heart. The "emotional something" is this bittersweet tension – the genuine happiness intertwined with a protective concern and the quiet acknowledgment that his primary role is changing, even if his love isn't. The song beautifully captures this internal struggle. The father isn't being overtly negative about the future husband, but his words are laced with the deep, unwavering love of a father who has cherished his daughter from the very beginning and who carries a natural, perhaps even subconscious, hope that she won't ever be hurt or undervalued. You're spot on in recognizing that layer of "no one will ever be truly good enough" and the lingering doubt. It's a testament to the powerful and unique bond between a father and his daughter. The song doesn't explicitly state the doubt, but it's woven into the emotional fabric of the lyrics through the father's reflections and subtle assertions of his enduring love and connection. bold text

I went to my favorite web site this morning (dpreview/forums) and when it displayed I must have accidentally clicked some Firefox thing because the page was then overlaid with a thin orange highlight with the word PICK on it. I tried moving the cursor off the page but it only changed which segments of the page were highlighted. So I clicked and the page was replaced by just the menu section of the page, apparently that was what was highlighted when I clicked.

Now, no matter what I do, when I try to go to that url only the menu is displayed, the normal list of forums is missing. I've restarted FF. I've rebooted. I've cleared cookies and cache. I've refreshed the page. Nothing helps. Other web sites are fine. I can't imagine what this is for. A diagnostic tool or accessibility thing perhaps.

Please help. I'm running latest FF on latest Win 11.

There are more issues but not as prominent as the above.

Have always set up accounts so they download all messages to hard drive.

Since 3/27/25, it is as if it never officially logs the downloads as downloaded, so it downloads each day as if it hasn't been done since 3/27/25, marking all of the messages since then as new.

File is very large so want to try fixing without deleting entire file.

Tried the 'repair this folder' but that didn't work.

Having trouble identifying the exact folder on the hard drive to delete since there are several different accounts in the Thunderbird setup.

2nd question.... After clicking OK on the error message I can select the local folder it was importing and I can see it is then downloading a range of messages with mention of their labels in the bottom of the window but the labels are not creating folders. Should I expect it to do that?

I am in a bit of a mess so I am hoping that someone might be able to sort me out......and to clear my conscience, I made a small contribution to Thunderbird recently! Ever since Microsoft had "Windows Live Mail" I have been using it and VERY successfully until Optusnet were having difficulties with it communicating with 'any one'. So recentIy I changed my email address from <gnwalton@optusnet,com.au> to <gnwalton58@gmail.com> and had Gmail read my optusnet account as another account to read.

Optus are my "carrier" (my access to the internet) and have been ever since their inception many years ago.

1. Please look at Image 1 screen dump: You can see from this that I have had various spasmodic entrances into Thunderbird, which I would now like to erase. How?

2. Windows Live Mail had a feature where, while I believed it was downloading my INbox and SENT files from the Optus server or Internet, it also automatically saved these files to my own computer hard drive. I was therefore able to attach a past file (perhaps years ago) to a current email as an attachment........without any archiving! I have instructed Thunderbird to POP my files - which I believe is not allowing them to reside in the "cloud" - so that they now reside IN Thunderbird ON my computer? Could you please confirm my beliefs, or otherwise?

3. Perhaps all this info is contained somewhere is a separate file so I would appreciate your referral to such info and make life easy for you.

4. Perhaps I should also explain I am a retired octogenarian chemical engineer who has been interested in and solving process problems all my life!! I'm just naturally curious!

Kind regards, Geoff Walton Melbourne, Australia

I am running Thunderbird 128 (any version) on a Surface Pro 9 running Windows 11. After sleep/hibernate or going into energy-saving mode, TB hangs for a period of minutes. Eventually it comes back, but it can take 5-10 minutes.

I do not have this problem with TB 115 on the same machine, or TB 128 on other machines (e.g. running Windows 10 or Ubuntu). TB 115 on the same machine can take a few seconds to come back (longer than on my other machines), but that s OK.

I have the same expereince whether or not I am troubleshoot mode. I have created a new profile with no add-ons (and less acounts) and I have the same problem. I was wondering if it is something to do with the fact that I have 8000 folders, and somehow TB is hanging while it checks all the folders. That account is a fastmail IMAP connection, but I have experienced similar on a backup Microsoft Exchange account (again an IMAP connection) with similar number of folders.

Any help would be appreciated.
