Thunderbird Community Forum

For the last several days, if I get an email with a link to open in a browser (e.g. a tracking number, and Amazon order, Ticketmaster order), clicking on it doesn't bring it up in my browser (Firefox). It shows a blank window.

I have the latest versions of Thunderbird and Firefox, with the current Windows 11.

How can I fix this problem?

There were prob 20 or so, but now just blank tabs. My In Box and incoming email still show OK and I can read those in a new tab. but what about the old ones? And if I cannot recover, how can I remove those blank tabs. Deleting the usual way does not work.

On Windows 10. I wonder if Co Pilot has something to do with it

Thanks Tealeaf

I cannot deliver emails with attached images. This has only started being a problem with upgrade to Win 11 64 bit 24H2. The message shows up in sent with the image.

I was running TB 128.11.1esr up until 10:00 this morning on Windows 10 Professional 22H2 64-bit. I have some e-mail messages that I cannot delete. This morning I auto-upgraded to 1o 128.12.0esr and then to 140.0esr. I still cannot delete the messages When I try to delete a group of messages (containing the message in question), the messages in the in-box turn from black to gray, and I see at the bottom "Moving messages to Trash". But nothing happens. I did a "Compact folders", and it completed without any error messages. I can look at my Trash folder, and the contents seem to be intact. In one case, I individually deleted all of the messages except one. With this one, I open the message and see nothing in the bottom message content pane. When I do a "cntl-u" to see the RFC 5322 message headers, I see a window that is completely blank. What is happening, and how can I debug this? Thanks.

Hi all,

I’m having trouble with Thunderbird where emails I send don’t show up in the Sent folder. I use a Gmail account via IMAP.

Details: •⁠ ⁠When I send an email, it doesn’t appear in the Sent folder in Thunderbird - sometimes it does thou. •⁠ ⁠Sometimes sent emails don’t appear even in Gmail’s web Sent folder. •⁠ ⁠I have checked my account settings, and the Sent folder is mapped correctly. •⁠ ⁠I use Thunderbird version: Version 140.0esr on Sequoia 15.5. •⁠ ⁠I don’t see an Outbox folder in Thunderbird. •⁠ ⁠Sometimes I get errors related to folder sync (like “folder in use” message).

What I tried: •⁠ ⁠Restarted Thunderbird •⁠ ⁠Checked folder subscriptions and synchronization •⁠ ⁠Verified Gmail IMAP settings •⁠ ⁠Sent test emails to other accounts — same issue persists

I’d appreciate any tips on how to ensure sent emails are saved and visible in Thunderbird’s Sent folder and on Gmail!

thanks

I'm currently on Office Outlook 2021......something happened and the license became invalid....according to Msoft.....I will have to re-purchase.......bought if it at huge discount on ebay so should have expected this... I'm investigating moving to Tbird.....but I have some questions.... 1. The importation of PST file seems rather complicated....is there an easy way to do this...??? 2. In Outlook I use the email....calendar....and notes.....I have a lot of notes as this is how I keep track of what I do for my clients......If somehow I import my PST file into Tbird....does all the email...calendar and notes come with it or just emails...??? 3. I POP Gmail into Outlook....but Gmail requires an App Password......can Tbird handle this..??? 4. My current PST file is about 3gb in size....Can Tbird handle this large amount of data..???

Thanks in advance for any assistance the community can offer... Steve

I was following instructions for the problem of some task bar icons showing as grey boxes. Still have that problem plus added the problem that thunderbird launches with the setup accounts dialogue page. The 'help>troubleshooting information>profile file location' reveals the correct profiles that have been updated to the hour before I caused the problem. I have saved the '...roaming/thunderbird folder to an external SSD, and made a new new thunderbird installation following the instructions for moving files to a new computer. Problem persists. Thunderbird will not 'see' the profiles therefore I cannot see my emails.

Ciao :)

I used to use these add-ons

Old Icon Phoenity Buttons Phoenity Icons

to make Thunderbird more attractive, but now I'm having constant problems. The interface has become schizophrenic, and every time I open it, the icons have a different style, so I've been forced to disable the add-ons.

The question is, are there any supported add-ons left? I can't find any on the website. :(

Hello,

My Thunderbird is on 140.0ESR - just updated yesterday. This morning I am noticing that when I open an email to read, and then close it, my inbox automatically scrolls from the top of the box to the place where that just read email is located. It used to just close and I could open the next one - now it goes through this momentary, fast scroll and then stops at the most recently read. It doesn't seem to matter if there are unread messages in the mailbox - it does the same thing when all messages have been read.

Very strange behavior - and just started with 140.0ESR.

Any ideas appreciated. Thanks!

The first problem cropped up immediately: Thunderbird has done a pretty good job for years of recognizing my email preferences for Inbox, Trash and Junk; now it no longer delivers email to my Inbox or Trash at startup. Almost all of my email goes to the Junk folder, including that from whitelisted senders. All of my individual spam filters and my whitelist are set to act when email is received, but I have to run the whitelist manually to get it to work (sometimes more than once). The only way I can get things into the Trash folder is to put them there manually, as TB apparently has forgotten everything it learned about my email preferences. I did take the opportunity to update my Whitelist (though to no avail), so I guess I'm sort of glad that I was goaded into doing so. But it hasn't helped.

As of tonight, I can't write or reply to an email or edit an email draft because TB locks up while it is "Copying messages to Drafts..." I've had to close TB ten or twelve times, and I've not been given the opportunity to make a bug comment during the closing routine.

I have emptied the TB cache in hopes that doing so would clear up these issues. Though that works well in Firefox, it didn't help with these problems.

I also am not too happy about the disappearance of the File Edit ... folder bar and its being replaced with a hamburger drop-down menu at the upper right, but at least it will suffice once I've unlearned almost thirty years of doing things a certain way.

I really don't want to stop using Thunderbird. I like the program, and I'd hate to have wasted the two solid weeks it took to get Yahoo! Mail to acknowledge its existence and let me connect to their service, which I did under duress. Not that I'm a masochist or anything.

After updating to Thunderbird version 140.0esr, I am unable to create a new email. Clicking “Write” or “New Mail” does nothing – no compose window opens. However: • Receiving and replying to emails works normally • Safe Mode does not resolve the issue • Disabling all add-ons has no effect • Reinstalling Thunderbird did not help • I confirmed I am using version 140.0esr

I have tried searching in my emails in different ways but always get a blank response/screen, which makes no sense - in one inbox or the other, in unified inbox, trying many different words... Using a Nokia Android, if this is relevant .

Hi all. Is it possible to send 400 mails and attach different .pdf files.? I have the e-mail list in a cvs file, and 400 *.pdf files placed in a folder. I know that it might be done i Google mass mail, but I would prefer to use Thunderbird the same way. Does anyone know if this is possible?

When I tap "Create Mail Account", it shows "Account Hub". I entered my email address and name, and it says "Account settings found". But when I enter the password, it says "Could not create account" due to an authentication error. It says that either the name or password is incorrect,and I can't finish creating the account.

I'm having trouble searching for emails. Thunderbird isn't finding all emails, especially the newest ones. I've tried repairing the folder, and I have the message indexing option selected. Nothing helps. I enter an email into global search, and some emails are there, while others are missing. I have the latest version, I've explored all possible fixes, and I'm slowly giving up.

In thunderbird. a new shot email is drafted and I hit send drop down says waiting for draft folde r to retain a copy and never sends the email and doesnt appear in sent fold?? is my drafts folders overfull of ?? Regards Sven

What can I do if I cannot receive an incoming messages but can send? I am using a POP3 mail, I notice that it started on July 7, same date of launching of upgrade to 140.0esr version.
