New W11 Pro pc, so new installation of Thunderbird. All profiles and folders moved over ok, but the Bin folder is an issue (main Gmail account IMAP). In my previous Tbird installation, I was able to right click the Bin folder, and be given the option of emptying said folder. Not now. The Spam folder does have the Empty option. Pics illustrate the folder list, what happens when I right click the Bin folder, and what happens when I right click the Spam folder, which does have the 'Empty Spam' option. I can highlight the messages in the Bin folder and delete them that way, but the right click option is shorter, easier... The only item I can find in the Thunderbird help pages tell me to delete the Trash and Trash msf folders in the profile - tried this twice, with no difference. It's a little frustrating... Any help would be welcomed, I guess I'm missing something really simple...

I have just setup Thunderbird and it seems to work fine. when I login it asks me to to enter my password and if I follow the instructions, I am in, fine. But if I just cancel without entering my password 4 times I am in as well. Is there an settings I need to change so I can not open my mail without my password? I am using Windows 11

I changed my password and added a PIN to my gmail account and even thought I get the prompt and allow access it doesn't work and keeps asking for it again. Say that it's the wrong email or password. I did delete the old password in the stored passwords but it didn't help. Whether I use my password or the PIN when connecting to google and then chose to allow access to Thunderbird it just keeps asking to grant access again.

Hello dear forum Here are the details: Account type: Microsoft Exchange (via OWL) Antivirus software and firewall used: Bitdefender I have the following problem: I copied the mbox files from the active account (profile) to Local Folders (as described in some forums), both with and without *.msf files (seems this makes no difference to the problem). Then I start Thunderbird, and all folders and subfolders appear in Local Folders. However, when I go into one of these copied folders or subfolders, it only displays a single email. The copied folder is the same size as the original, but no other emails are displayed, and this is repeated in every subfolder. I employed the repair function with no result. The import/export tool NG only copies half of the emails. The total is 4.25 GB. I can only copy the emails manually via copy/paste, but this is very error-prone and takes a very long time. Has anyone had experience copying mbox files and managed to do it successfully? I would be very grateful for any advice.

How do I add the thunderbird email app into my firefox links area? I can load gmail into it but I can not find the www stream to use to get to thunderbird.

Thanks.

I was forced to change email from Comcast to Yahoo Mail and hate it. Downloaded Thunderbird and connected my gmail address, but it won't accept my Comcast address, which I use on Yahoo Mail.

when I delete a folder which is showing in a light color, message states folder is undouble. I delete it but it re appears when I log back in. How can I permanently delete the folder?

I have been using thunderbird for years now with no issues at all. within the last month or so i started getting errors that my outgoing pw was incorrect. Then things seemed ok for a bit and as of today I just cant send anything at all. It will download mail just fine. But absolutely will not send.

  After checking all the settings, as shown below, and triple verifying everything is correct for the server and settings, ports etc.  I cant figure this out.  I have the exact same settings in my iphone mail and it downloads and sends mail just fine.  I can send an email from the phone and get it on my desktop through thunderbird, but i can not send anything back...  Both have had the same settings for years.  But the thunderbird app just decided it no longer wants to accept my outgoing password.  I have deleted the saved password within thunderbird and even after re entering it when the popup comes up, it just refuses to accept it.  I have a feeling this may have been one of the prior TB updates???
   Here are some images.  Can anyone help figure this out please... It's driving me bonkers

Subject: Thunderbird 152 – IMAP Junk messages are not automatically moved to Spam (T-Online IMAP) I am using Thunderbird 152 on Windows 11 with a Deutsche Telekom (T-Online) IMAP account. Problem When I manually mark a message as Junk (toolbar button, context menu or Junk column), the message briefly disappears from the Inbox and immediately reappears. It is marked as Junk, but it is not moved to the Spam folder. If I disable the option "Move new junk messages to:", the message remains in the Inbox and is marked as Junk, without the brief disappearance. Manual Move to → Spam always works correctly. Environment • Windows 11 • Thunderbird 152 • T-Online IMAP • ESET Internet Security • Only one Spam folder exists on the T-Online server. Troubleshooting already performed • Created a completely new IMAP account. • Verified Junk settings. • Verified the Spam folder path: imap://...@secureimap.t-online.de/Spam • Manual move to Spam works correctly. • Rebuilt the folder cache. • Recreated folderTree/folder cache files. • Performed IMAP resynchronization. • Tested with ESET mail protection enabled and disabled (no change). • Checked profile configuration. • Verified that the IMAP server directory setting does not change the behaviour. Additional observation The profile contains two IMAP cache directories: • secureimap.t-online.de • secureimap.t-online-1.de The current IMAP directory does not contain local Spam/Junk cache files, while the old "-1" directory still contains: • Spam • Spam.msf • Junk • Junk.msf Thunderbird also displays a greyed-out, inaccessible Spam/Junk folder which cannot be selected, subscribed or removed. Question Is this a known issue in Thunderbird 152 related to IMAP Junk handling or old IMAP cache migration after changing an account from POP to IMAP? If not, which log or additional information would help identify the cause?

PS: The POP account worked correctly before the migration to IMAP. The problem started only after switching from POP to IMAP. Rudolf.weinzierl-landshut@t-online.de

A few days ago I lost all of my saved email messages, plus "sent" emails, and "deleted" emails. I had important information stored there for future use. I am hoping to be able to retrieve it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

the thunderbird on the old laptop still showes all emails back until 2022. after copying the profil to the new laptop as described on the mozilla video, thunderbird took all settings but at one of the email accounts it just showes emails back to may 2026. The rest has disappeared. I tried all fixing experiences I found on internet but it doesn´t work. This special Email account had the pop3 - setting.

Thunderbird Calendar cannot select custom sound for reminder. The browse button to select custom sound does not work.

Same issue was brought up by someone else 3 years ago here: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1414126

The provided solution which worked for the user (on TB 102):

Settings/General, Config. editor, paste mail.biff.play_sound.url in the search, then click the Reset icon for that preference, then see if the Browse button works.

This no longer works on TB 152.01, so cant use longer duration custom sound. The default sound is a micro-second blip that is easy to miss.

Hope to find solution. Thanks!

When I create a new e-mail or reply to one that I have received I am able to type in all fields, but there is no "Send" button to the left of the "From", "To", and "Subject" fields.

I can work around this by clicking "File...Send Now", but that is very inconvenient when I am sending many e-mails.

I use Thunderbird to access my Gmail accounts. Gmail is confirgured for IMAP and I am able to access all of my E-mail accounts ... so that is good.

However, I do have one issue: When I delete an E-mail in Thunderbird, it moves to the TRASH folder and I empty that daily. However, when I go to Gmail, I can see that they are STILL in "All Mail". If I access All Mail in Thunderbird and delete messages, they reappear.

The only way I am able to get rid of them for good is to access them in Gmail. If I don;t, the All MAil folders grow like crazy and messages thgat I deleted are still there .. some were several years old.

Question: Is there a way to set up Thunderbird so that when an E-mail is deleted in Thunderbird, that it takes it out of "All Mail"?
