Thunderbird Support Forum

Title. Thunderbird is a really cool client but it's pretty slow. I blame that on the thousands upon thousands of emails that my hotmail and gmail each hold. I don't necessarily want to delete these emails, but I have seldom a reason to have any email older than 2 months in my thunderbird client slowing and crashing the program whenever I want to combine inboxes.

To this end I went to "Synchronization & Storage" and told it to "Synchronize the most recent 2 months" but it didn't delete the huge cluster of older emails. The next option is to tell TB to delete these emails in the same menu but as I understand it that would also delete them in the server, which I don't want to do for posteriority.

What do I do?

This is the message I get when trying to send emails: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: pgbentley101@gmail.com recipient rejected. Please check the message recipient "pgbentley101@gmail.com" and try again."

I used to be able to see the number/count of new messages and old messages in all of my message folders. There seems to have been an update, and all of my numbers are missing. Can you tell me how to fix this please.

Since the big update I cannot read my messages in the message window without scrolling as I read each line. The message window is so small that I can only see about four lines of text at a time. I can't get the messages to open in a new window unless I click on them and choose "open in new window" even after setting them to open in a new window on their own.

The last update fixed the font on everything from being too big in spite of settings so now I can read a little more at a time. It's still very frustrating having to scroll constantly.

Supernova 115 - I prefer the Quick Filter Search box (Ctrl+Shift+K) than the Global Search box (Ctrl+K) because it is easy to find messages.

Can anyone help to replace the Global Search box (Ctrl+K) by Quick Filter Search box (Ctrl+Shift+K) on mail Toolbar.

Thank you.

Windows 10 Thunderbird 115.4.2 (64 bit) Following the recent update, the Write icon has vanished. I can see it in Customise -Toolbars but can't do anything about it. I know there is a keyboard shortcut to get this done but I want my icon back please! Many thanks Howard

I've been using Thunderbird/Eudora for 20+ years. Today, I was forced to download a new version today. In doing so, I lost most of my saved folders as well as my email address list. Just finished reentering 200+ addresses but can't figure out how to print a hard copy so I can crosscheck and save as a hard copy. HELP!!!!!.

I have migrated sackvilleandlane@westnet.com.au from Westnet to The Messaging Company, they tell me it is successful, but I cannot get emails. They now tell me it is my provider. Can you please fix it for me? With thanks Heather

At 15:00 yesterday, my Thunderbird was updated (behind my back).

From that moment it could not communicate with my imap server and I cannot renew my account with the server.

I now have to use webmail.

Can I please go back to the immediate predecessor as that has worked well.

I have a new phone, and I can't get my email on it without the email password. I've had the account so long I can't remember the password; Thunderbird just retrieves my email. Now I want it on the phone. Is there a way to get my password out of thunderbird so I can put it in my phone?

Problem: I'm 76 years old and technically self-taught. I have 2 Windows 11 computers. One desktop and one laptop. Both are fully updated and utilizing Office software, specifically Outlook. Not too long ago I happily discovered Thunderbird and like it soooo much better. QUESTION: Within Outlook, my calendar is displayed as iCloud Calendar which is ok for me. The one thing that is keeping me from exclusively using Thunderbird is not being able to import my iCoud calendar into Thunderbird. Is that even possible and if so, how? Please keep your response as simplistic as possible. Thank you for your time and consideration given to my inquiry.

Hi When I opened my inbox yesterday only 95 emails were visible less than 1 month of emails. The mail file still shows that it contains 12 gig of data so I presume all of the emails are still on file. How to I access all of the remaining emails. Thanks

We had "manually resort folders" in v102. And now, with v115 forced upon us. (This morning, when I opened Thunderbird, it was updated to v115 overnight without my knowledge. And the folders are not the way I left them nor how I want them. So I need to fix this. But the add-on no longer works. So what is Mozilla doing about this?

Good evening, when I delete an email on Mozilla Thunderbird it is not deleted at the same time on the liberomail site. How should I set up my account? Thank you Best regards

Using multiple profiles. Checked work offline. Thunderbird opens to a page asking me to "Setup Your Existing Email Account" when I'm attempting to open an old email account.

The server settings have changed since this profile was used. Thunderbird is giving this error message: Unable to login at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.

Why is Thunderbird asking me to do this and trying to connect to the server when I requested to work offline?
