hi .. my computer had been slow especially using mozilla thunderbird email, a friend had tried setting up another email account but has lost almost all of my emails in the export, do you have anyway of retrieving these - am most concerned about historical emails I had in folders would appreciate any assistance you can provide, thanks Chris Richardson

(Just upgraded to 128.2 64 bit - but I can't find the selection screen shown on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unified-toolbar.

I want to have a clickable shortcut to Next Message. Why? Because as I'm reading and reply to some of the messages, I have the mouse in my hand. It's a pain to switch to the keyboard to hit N or F. And I always forget the letter to go to the previous message.

Also -- after I delete a message that I just read from the trashcan icon, despite having more messages to read, even in a thread, the view goes back to the Inbox. I'd want to see the next email, not the list. For all its advanced features, this seems to be basic email reading. Maybe I missed an option?

Hi - How can I turn on light mode manually in Thunderbird without changing theme, or within a dark theme? Also, how to turn the them back to default if I want. Thankx!

Please help me. I've been with Thunderbird for many years and now I have nothing but problems. I've attempted to change settings and I'm thinking that possibly I've screwed it all up. I've changed the passwords through Comcast a few times but it seems to also be screwed up. I've been with Thunderbird for a long time and donated 3 times this past year. Now I have constant problems signing in with the same old password so I've contacted Comcast to change the passwords. Is there anywhere on Thunderbird where I can check to see what passwords are still listed for me? I have 4 email addresses. SillySam, LatonHigh, Kissincousin and TahoeDocTom all with Comcast.net I'm desperate to get back online with my emails.

Suddenly today I stopped getting new messages in my inbox with Thunderbird. My wife shares our internet provider and she has continued to get hers. Using Windows 10 PC. I get the little Tbird icon telling me I've got a new email, but it does not show up in my inbox, or in any other Tbird folder. I get them only on my iPhone and iPad. No problem with my internet provider, Spectrum. The app shows that I'm on v. 115.10.1. It also showed that an update is available, v. 115.15.0. I went through the update process, including restarting my computer, and when I checked it still showed that I was actually still on v. 115.10.1, so the update apparently didn't actually install. I have no clue what's going on or how to attempt to fix it. Like I said, all is well with my wife's Tbird messages. She continues to get new messages. I can send an email from my section to hers, and it goes to her inbox just fine. Cannot send to me from hers though. If anyone can help I would be very appreciative. Thanks Stewart Wolfson

I moved a bunch of emails from one folder to another within Thunderbird and now those messages will not load in the new folder and so are inaccessible. Any thoughts? The target folder populated with hundreds of inaccessible messages all bearing the date of the transfer rather than the actual message dates (and it represents four years of messages in that folder, properties shows that there are 2424 messages. I tried "repairing" the folder but that did not make those messages accessible.

Don't know what happened, but there is no longer an option to create a list. instructions: Address book > File > New > Mailing list

Note in the image that "mailing list" does not exist. help!

My Thunderbird version just got upgraded and my previous configuration that properly applied a signature file is no longer working. To try and fix this I unchecked the option for signature and then added it back and selected the correct signature file. Can someone please verify if there is an issue now with files with a ".html" extension? This worked fine before this upgrade.

OK. When on TB 115.x I could search my calendar with a keyword and the Events "description" would be included in that search. With 128 it would appear that only the event title is searched and I can find no setting that allows me to include the 'description' in the search.

Have I missed something obvious or has the 'search' changed in some way (i.e. become inferior!).

Any information appreciated. Oh, I 'upgraded' from 115 to 128 rather than a fresh install, if that matters ....

Ta.

I would like to install Thunderbird on two separate Win7 networked computers and use the same "Thunderbird Data" on a NAS for both. I already use the Data on the NAS for computer number 1, but trying to run Thunderbird on the second computer gives the well-known error "Thunderbird already running..."

Help please. Suddenly for reasons that I do not understand I will receive a message like this one below I do use both an iPhone & iPad and have done for years but this sort of message will turn up out of the blue! Tomorrow my mail will probably have returned to normal I am using version 128.2.0esr (64-bit) on a Windows 11 PC. Any thoughts will be much appreciated. Many thanks Derek

Why is there a limit on how many messages - or maybe it's the total size - can be stored in any given sub-folder? T-bird's message is not enough space, try to empty the trash folder.

I have plenty of disk space, so asking if T-bird has internal limits? I've always kept many messages, so any limitation is disconcerting. I can make more sub-folders, but maybe there's a limit on that as well?

Should I be saving messages in the Archive/Local folders?

Is there a section here for suggestions? I'd like to have an option to have just one Trash folders for all accounts. I'd also like to suggest a shortcut icon to go to next message, since the mouse is already in my hand.

You have recently released version Thunderbird 128.1.1 in which you have changed the Compact View so that it is effectively no longer a Compact View, because the spaces have been increased between the Folders in the sidebar folder pane. I have been using Thunderbird for a couple of months and really liked the Compact View but now it has been spoiled. I don't understand why it was necessary to change this, and would be grateful if you would please revert the Compact View to how it appeared in version 115

Kind regards

All of sudden, clicking a email link on a webpage in any browser on my computer doesn't open Thunderbird, in fact, nothing happens. Thunderbird is set in Windows as my default email program. If I change the default email program to something different, then clicking on a email link in a webpage works. Switching back to Thunderbird as the default email program doesn't work either.

I am using the following operating system:

Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎6/‎12/‎2021 OS build 19045.4780 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

The following version of Thunderbird:

128.1.1esr (64-bit) Release notes Thunderbird Windows MSIX packagethunderbird-MSIX - 1.0

My main browsers are Chrome Chrome is up to date Version 128.0.6613.120 (Official Build) (64-bit) and Firefox 130.0 (64-bit).

Can someone help me fix this problem?

Thank you.

Opening a message in Thunderbird i get this instead of the contents of the message --Apple-Mail-8B93079C-6931-440C-A880-44533077DD28-- The message comes in clearly in GMAIL. Why is this happening.

I have been very happily using 115.15. Then, yesterday, I was upgraded to a new version that breaks my extensions. Thus I deleted the compatibility.ini file and downloaded 115.15 and installed that (windows os btw). Now everything works beautifully, except for the tags panel. The message number in the tags panel in the folder panel on the left does not update, and no messages appear in the message pane when I click on one of the tags.

What can I do to get this to work again?

Hi, I have a problem, when i set outomatic reply on my account email has send, but with wrong encoding. I 'm writting mail in czech language, so you probably wont be understanding. In the picture is a screen of mail, that was automatic sent, please help me, what i should to change in settings.

Thunderbird is been just closing itself. So I started it from the terminal. After a few minutes it closed itself again. This time it logged this:
