I have suddenly started receiving this message when trying to send emails. They are just plain emails with no attachments. Thunderbird is not "getting" any emails either. I did not change 'ANYTHING' in Thunderbird; it just started happening. I've tried the possible solutions I've found on line but haven't solved the problem. I'm using Windows 11 and Network Solutions email.

When Thunderbird updated from version 115 to 128 I lost access to my emails and calendar. My files were all in a Onedrive folder and my Profiles.ini file (line Path=) in the Roaming\Thunderbird directory pointed to it. I have tried to link the current installation to this Onedrive folder with no luck and any attempt to run the program creates an installation directory under Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\ with a bunch of files and I have no access to my prior installation. How do I recover my data and keep the Thunderbird files in Onedrive?

I bought a new computer and had to download Thunderbird again. I tried the most recent one, didn't like it, so randomly picked a previous release from 2023 (don't remember when I installed the previous one) and hoped for the best. In the past, I would keep some emails in my inbox and tend to them as needed and then keep or delete when I had done what was required. I would also need to go to my ISP email's page, to get spam email, because Thunderbird didn't provide me with those. When there, I would delete what was in the inbox, so I could easily keep letters there to a minimum. Now, however, when I delete something in my ISP's inbox, it deletes in my Thunderbird portal too. I can't find settings in my ISP's page to stop it from downloading automatically (so it won't duplicate what I've already received via Thunderbird), and I can't find any settings in Thunderbird, to ask it to keep what I have in my inbox, instead of deleting everything I delete with my ISP. Do I need to go further back and find an earlier release in order to be able to use Thunderbird as I used to do? Or can I tweak the one I have?

I am on a MacBook M1 using Sequoia v15.3.1, running Thunderbird v128.7. I have been through many of the forums and also done Google searches, but have not been able to find a way to search for events in the calendar. When I am in the calendar and type a query into the search field, it will only search in messages. I have not found anything in settings that allows me to change this nor have I found any options available on the screen for searching only calendar events. I know there has to be a way that I am just not seeing. Also, there seem to be different options in view on the Windows version than in the Mac version and many of the solutions call for accessing a button or command that I don't see in the Mac version.

Hi all. I have repeatedly tried to delete all the default Thunderbird categories in Settings > Calendar > Categories, but every time i do, and restart Thunderbird, they reappear. I'm on 128.6.0esr 64-bit, no add-ons except for Darko and Allday Tasks, and i've tested this with Allday Tasks removed. Renaming them and THEN deleting them works, but deleting a default category with its default name doesn't. I guess it's a bug and i'm reporting it.

For nearly a year, now, I've been very happily receiving my YouTube comment notifications regularly and quite satisfyingly. Since this latest update, suddenly they are not showing up in any part of my INBOX, when I check my e-mail.

I've checked all the settings I can find, regarding notifications -- both on YouTube and Thunderbird. I changed a couple of things that shouldn't have made any difference, and they didn't.

I have three YouTube channels, and I tried switching to my earliest one as the "official" one that uses my lindawing2@gmail.com e-mail sign-in, hoping that that might make things work again. I had it set, before to my Grandma's Got Grace channel (which is my third channel), and that didn't make any difference, either. My other channel is Grandma's Gone Gaming. It also uses lindawing2@gmail.com for my sign-in. So I didn't bother trying to change over to that one.

I'm still getting ALL (and that's a huge listing every day) of my notifications under the bell, in the YouTube menu, but I don't care for the way those work. I MUCH prefer the way the Thunderbird e-mail has been processing those notifications for quite some time, now ... until the latest update.

This is very frustrating. The change has also affected notifications that I usually get from other channels (those by friends who have their own websites and/or chat channels set up, that allow me to ask for notifications of messages they send me).

I'm getting NO notifications at all, in my Thunderbird app, now. Period.

Thunderbird Notifications for just my Inbox

I have a single Outlook email set up to route mail to folders and only mail from my contacts to the Inbox.

It's a good setup. I check folders when I feel like it. Junk much less. The inbox when it arrives.

I want Thunderbird to only notify for mail to my Inbox.

There does not appear to be a way.

I did try the NTFNTF add-on. It looks cool and has check boxes, but does nothing. I'm running the latest Thunderbird Version 128.6.1esr

For now, and perhaps forever, I just let my phone alert me. It only does inbox (the normal).

Using Thunderbirds junk filters is not an option for normal people who check and receive mail with more than just the one device!

So, is there something I missed or an add-on that I missed (and works for this version) ?

Can this behaviour be changed so that after dropping the file off, the focus returns directly to the inbox, saying a bunch of keystrokes? Cheers

For about 6 months now, my printers have been disappearing and reappearing at random...or so I thought. However, today, I left my Printer window opened while the printers were "Connected". I then proceeded to open the programs I regularly use: First Word. Nothing. Then Acrobat. Nothing. Then Chrome, still nothing. Then Thunderbird...Bam! Printers Disconnected. I said, let me try this again, and again, and again. Each time...same result. When launching Thunderbird...within 5 secs, the printers disconnect. It's the craziest thing I've ever seen. Anyone out there looking for a fun challenge? I've never seen this happen before and would love a resolution. Oh, and before it's suggested: I already checked the PrintSpooler service...connected or disconnected, it's status reads: "Running" in Task Manager.

I'm on Thunderbird (128.6.0esr (64-bit)) on Fedora/GNOME. I've noticed, that whenever I launch Thunderbird, it takes several minutes (!) where it says "Connecting to mail.myserver.com" in status. I'm using my own postfix/dovecot server with imap and I don't have this problem on Thunderbird Windows for instance, where it connects right away on startup. After the initial slow connection, it works just fine, when I manually trigger to scan for new messages (instantly). I tried literally any option within Thunderbird to fix that, without any success. It seems to be some trouble with resolving / dns or probably ip6/ip4, but then again, why would it work normally after the long connection time in the beginning? Any clue what might be the problem here?
