I just sent an email and had to go back to it to check something (which I do a lot) and it does not show on my sent list. I can find it doing a search for it and I see it (and 3 others) under search and it says it is in sent file, but actually none of the 4 emails on this search now can be found in the sent folder. And they all did (but the one from tonight) 2 days ago.

I now wonder if other emails have been lost, and can be accessed only by doing a search. But I need to have the emails in the serch folder as I go back to many of them a lot and all the time. Now I will not be able to find them unless I can remember who i sent it to. And I wonder how many more of them are lost and I just have no idea.

Any ideas? Has there been an update in the last week??

What can I do to get these emails (and maybe many others) back?

And I just copied this message to save and put it in an email to myself and sent it and it is not there.

At one time I was the recording secretary and had use of a gmail id, ntdemocraticcommitteerecsec@gmail.com I have moved on, and deleted the account in Thunderbird. Yet, every time I go into Thunderbird I get the prompt below. I do not have a shared calendar with this account, nor an address book. What do I need to do to stop this pop up?

Thanks in advance,

I am unable to drag and drop messages from Inbox into a number of subfolders in a created folder. Other subfolders in this folder do not have this problem. When I attempt the drag and drop, a circle with slash image appears.

When I attempt to move messages to these problem subfolders using 'right click' and 'move to', the problem subfolders do not appear in the drop down list. Same happens if I use 'message' and 'move to'.

Probably related to this, the font of the problem subfolders recently changed to italic.

I can access the existing messages in the problem subfolders.

I have tried 'repair' on these subfolders, with no change.

I am using Windows 11, Thunderbird 115.9.0.

thunderbird 115.4.2 - drafts folder repopulates itself with messages from my sent box randomly

I am having 3 different issues.

In version 115.4.2 the drafts folder repopulates itself with messages from my sent box randomly as it sees fit. I have to keep deleting them. Is there a fix for that?

I despise the accordion title pull down.s in the inbox and sent folders. I want to have my replies listed as a single message. Can I unset that despicable feature or do I have to back date to some other version. If so, which one?

Believe it or not, I was using thunderbird version 2.x.x but was forced to upgrade because Spectrum internet provider switched from pop mail to imap. What is the first version (older than 115) that allows imap.

We have been trying to repair the sent folder in Thunderbird without success. Messages do not get saved there. Several recently have ended threads an said there is no support for email but that seems to be confused? In any case it loos like there is no simple fix to get the sent folder back. Do you think it would solve the issue to uninstall Thunderbird and install it again? Thank you for the help.

The instructions say to press CRTL+Shift+F to search for a specific message in a folder, but when I do that NOTHING happens. I do not get a box to enter what I'm searching for. CRTL+Shift+K works for searching a disk but that takes way too long and produces way too many results.

Why can't Search just be on the menu like it used to be?

I suddenly found emails not yet deleted from my imap inbox and from my sent folder had disappeared. I run Thunderbird on a Mac. When I go to Time Machine to restore and go back a few days before the files disappeared I find the profiles. When I restore, for example, Sent and sent.msf the popup box indicates success. When I open Thunderbird and go to the sent folder the emails are listed as hoped for but within about 5 seconds the MAC spinning color wheel pops up, spins for 5 or 10 seconds and then the emails disappear once again. If I open the finder app and scroll to the sent folder finder shows data to be there and when I click on the tab a box opens up with computerese display of the content but not a readable email message. Can anyone tell me where the restored emails age going?

Similarly, when I restore my inbox from Time Machine the popup box indicates success but when I go to inbox the old, undeleted messages are not there. Again, where are they?

password

I can log in if I enter my password. But if I select the box to save the password, the login hangs and then fails. This looks like a bug.

I cannot send emails. Whenever I try it asks for and then rejects the password. I have worked with my email provider and the only solution they can come up with is to erase the program and reinstall it. That makes me nervous as reinstalling a program for me has never gone well.

When I select an e-mail and click delete in the top panel sometimes not only the selected item is deleted, but also the one under the selected item. It means, that important mails dissappear. I have no idea how to prevent this neither how or what I did. It seems that somehow Thunderbird selects more than the selected item. I enclose two screenprints:

  • Selected item to delete in inbox with the to delete item in the inbox
  • deleted items in the map deleted, wheree you can see that also the mail beneath the selected item is deleted

This really bad, since I lose from time to time important e-mails
