Thunderbird Community Forum

On early version of Thunderbird on Windows 7 I see the mesage window below the header window. I would like to see the same on the later version on Windows 10 and 11. So far I've been unable to find a control to do that.

Good afternoon

I have been struggling to find some messages specific to specific dates and spend an awful amount of time tryomh yo access the correct one.

The solution proposed is a bit unclear to me, as it refers to "future folders". I need to unthread all my messages. Is this possible?

Thanks

PS The only version number i could find was for Firefox. There does not seem to be one for Thunderbird.

Thunderbird has stopped getting messages and 'get messages' doesn't work & I have to close & restart thunderbird to receive them. Nothing has changed with the email client itself.

I know messages have arrived by checking my providers phone app, but for Thunderbird to download them to my PC I now have to restart Thunderbird to get new messages

I was adding some filters for senders to move emails to my local folders and such, and then I ran the filters. For whatever reason, when I ran the filters this time, thunderbird also seemingly deleted all emails from some of my web email inboxes. The only one that wasn't affected by this inbox wipe was my school email(gmail provider). How can I prevent this from happening again?

For at least the last 10 years, Thunderbird spell-checker has rejected contractions such as "don't" in the emails that I type. It highlights "don" as a misspelled word, ignoring the apostrophe and "t". How can I force it to recognize contractions? Adding every contraction in the English language to the dictionary is not a practical answer.

When I attempt to send email I get the following message: Sending of the message failed. The message was not sent due to exceeding the allowed number of recipients. The server responded: Policy-SC01 You’ve reached your sending limit. Don’t worry, you can send again soon..

Is this a known fluke. In group with more than one email I see the excerpts and can easily deal with them (delete) but if there is only one in a group I can do nothing?

Recently purchased a new HP laptop. And installed my ZoneAlarm without issue. Then downloaded Thunderbird and installed it. On opening ZA went berserk constantly alerting every few seconds saying there was a Bot. See attached screenshot from the last instance of this. Deleted Thunderbird and the problem disappeared. Was the problem actually caused by Thunderbird and have you any idea what was trying to access the website in the screenshot and what the website is that it was trying to access?

I don't know if this is the correct topic to select but there is nothing more relevant.I am using windows 11 and When I try to delete e mails (G mail) I click on the e mail and then delete. The e mail then disappears and I then quit out of e mails. However the next time i go into my e mails it is back again. The only way i can get them to delete is to again tick the e mail i want to delete and then click delete. If I then go into something else e.g. drafts or spam and then quit out of the e mails when i go back in the e mail i wanted to delete has gone. I have tried resetting firefox but makes no difference

I am trying to add IdeasDale@zohomail.com to my Thunderbird email. It is set as Incoming – imap -- Port: - 993 Server: - imap.zoho.com Outgoing – smtp –- Port: - 465 Server: - smtp.zoho.com

I have several Yahoo accounts set up in Thunderbird, but I get this frequent (several times a day) error notification from just one:

"The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account Yahoo (xxxxxxx) responded: p."

I'm sure this is a truncation of the complete error message. How can I see the complete message?

There seems to be no consequence of the "error" - everything appears to work as normal. It's just annoying.

I have what should be a pretty simple question. 1. I deleted my Tbird POP acct because it stopped working. 2. I reinstalled it. 3. My saved mail folders were gone. 4. Is it possible to get them back? 5. * This question is for someone other than David. 6. I just want to get my old saved folders back into my reinstalled account. 7. It's been about five days since this all took place. 8.The version I deleted was a the previous release.

Maybe I accidentally made a setting, but if I go get email, it sends it to trash and from there marks it as spam and sends it to spam at my email provider. This just started when I tried it this afternoon. I think it was OK in the AM. I use Linux Ubuntu. It moves all emails to trash and then sends them. I just looked at my message filters and they look normal to me, I do have something called SpamAssasinYes, which I remember from years ago that looks at the whole complete header and sends an email to all the providers in it telling them that their user is using their server for spam. Maybe that has changed somehow, but I forgot it was there because it has been there for about 20 years. Should i just remove all those filters and see what happens? I need some guidance. thanks

Enclosed are jpg copies of the current sets of filters failures in my TB email program.

TB Error0 shows the 6 emails that have arrived and are placed in the INBOX. However, each of these has a corresponding filter set up to move them upon arrival to a separate subject email mailbox.

Note: If I highlight the INBOX and then go to Tools > Run Filters On Folder ... all of these INBOX email messages will be correctly filtered and moved to their respective email mailbox, BUT each of them is shown as having been "read" and unless you pay close attention, you may not know where these INBOX emails were sent.

I am also enclosing TB Error1 & 2 that show the last couple of days message filtering errors.

I can find nothing wrong with how each of these filters are set up, yet they seem to consistently fail to operate when new emails arrive.

Note one of them is for incoming emails from ... schiffsovereign.com. I have edited this filter repeatedly, even deleted it and re-input the information. Yet the filter never takes hold and does what it is designed to do. I am enclosing a jpg of that specific filter as TB Error3

I am looking for suggestions on how to fix this problem.

Thank you and best wishes,

I posted a question on this forum that I want to delete. I can't find a way to do that. Is there some way to do it? This question isn't really about performance" of T-bird, but about this forum but I was required to make a selection. . . ..

As of noon yesterday my Thunderbird gets messages, puts them in the trash, then into the spam and then sends a message to "spam" at my email provider. Since noon yesterday, I don't get email messages. If I go to the webmail, I see messages, but as soon as I download them with T-bird, they are sent to the trash and then sent as a spam notification to my email provider. I really use t-bird a lot so I would really hate to stop using it, it's much more useful than the webmail. Thanks

PS. I use Linux Ubuntu

Receive the following error message whenever I attempt to reply to or forward an e-mail

"Send Message Error. Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to the Outdoing server (SMTP) mail.thorneplumbing.com timed out. Try again"

This has been going on for some time now, but does not happen when I use Thunderbird on my i-phone. Just on a PC. Please advise.

Thank you!

My email was working then suddenly stopped. I have been connected to AT&T (Currently and Yahoo). I finally got it touch with AT&T mail. They claim that they no longer support or connect with Thunderbird.

Does anyone know if this is this correct?

Thank you for any help!

Or does anyone have any suggestions on what may have happened. This started one or two days ago from 09/09/2026

When are you finally fixing the exponentially raising problems to work with Thunderbird and Gmail? It is getting totally out of hand! Since my upgrade to the latest version NOTHING works anymore!

After stating TB the imap.gmail.com is running forever, freezing TB up. After ending the hung up programs 5 TB processes remain. Even after trying to kill them in the taskmgr, one remains active forever, is NOT kill-able anymore, and PC needs to be rebootet. End of story!

TB become a HORRIBLE Disaster!
