Then when I finish reading the email and close it the screen defaults to Address Book and the only way I can see the list of emails is click on Address Book icon and then the Mail icon above it. See screen shot if you can. I couldn't figure out how to make it larger.

Hi Everyone. I'm sure that Thunderbird used to have the option to show conversations (received AND sent messages) in folders especially useful in the Inbox. However I can;t see a way to enable that in the current version. I know I can go to conversation view in the context memory but it seems crazy that is an option by context but can;t be set as a default for 'normal' viewing in folders - all I can set is to see half the conversation with the trail of received messages but not my replies intermixed with them so I see the whole conversation. Am I missing a setting somewhre? Thanks fo any help.

Hello dear Thunderbird members.

Please, I would like your assistance to the following issue.

It's about when creating an existing account on Thunderbird application. Creating a Google mail account, or Yahoo! account (IMAP setting up). Or creating on POP3 module my mail account that I have on my internet provider.

So, the question/problem is, when I create account, all settings are being created (settings I mean incoming mail server, ports, etc), the authentication of username and password is passed, and finally account is created, with inbox folder, and immediately automatic getting messages begins. And, all other folders under inbox are being created/loaded. What I want to ask is if there is a technique, after account creation, only the inbox folder to be created empty, then not starting an automatic getting messages, and only if I click on inbox folder or press the get messages button, just then, the getting messages and folders begin. Just something like say disable automatic getting messages when creating existing account.

Is there any way to make this?

Thank you for your time!

I do like to work with Thunderbird - 115. At the moment there is one issue - for me very important - that prevents me to work with it. Since the last time TB executed a "compact folder" process i cannot recover the "compact away folders). I have indeed found the folders and everytime i copy them back in the profile, tb is filtering the "compacted folders" away again! To mention here is that i have turned off the compact process in the settings. It is indeed a bit frustrating. Even if i delete the account in question - in this case iCloud - and reinstall it with a new password, the folders will appear in my folder list and disappear after a few seconds...! Is there a parameter/filter that have to be turned off manually in the profile to reolve this issue? Please help - otherwise i will have to continue to work with Apple Mail - which is against my purpose. Thx a lot.

Hi all,

I'm using thunderbird on a macbook pro (sonoma 14.2.1).

I had to reinstall one of my email accounts on Thunderbird. After reinstalling it, I had lost all my emails and folders on Thunderbird. The good news is that I could find these files on my hard drive.

I successfully imported the folders but I can't import my emails again. These are saved in a Mozeml format. I have tried to import them - with the add-on ImportExportTools NG - copy-pasting the emails directly on the new account in the Finder

But non of these two options work and I thus only have access to the emails since the reinstallation of my email account on thunderbird.

Do you know how I could import emails in a Mozeml format into Thunderbird?

Let me know if you need more information to understand my question.

Thank you in advance for your help 🙏

I am currently using TB 115.9.0 (64 bit) but this problem has existed for a number of recent versions. I have a similar second machine with the same setup and version, same email accounts, and this does not occur so the problem is specific to this machine.

Many times when moving or deleting emails TB freezes up and becomes unresponsive for 5-10 seconds. For example I will delete a spam email and then I can't do anything with TB at all (everything else in Windows 10 works fine during this period and I can for example browse in FF). There is no indication of any problem. I tried compacting and repairing every folder and nothing changed. A while back someone suggested I delete some index file and I did that, it took a couple of days for TB to re-index everything, but the problem persisted through that.

This is very annoying as I get a lot of spam and also file a lot of emails into folders and this really slows me down, having to keep trying to click on something and drag until it works etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey!

Is there a way to apply Message Filters only to a specific folder of the mailbox?

I have a filter that moves emails from my Gmail mailbox to a Local Folder. It works well.

However, if the same email gets downloaded to the "All Mail" folder of the same Gmail mailbox, it gets moved as a duplicate to the same Local Folder. (all Gmail mailboxes have this "All Mail" folder)

I have unsubscribed from the "All Mail" folder, as an attempt to resolve this issue.

However, if I go on the Gmail website, delete the email from "All Mail", it moves that email to the Trash. Then, once Thunderbird downloads that email in the Trash folder, the Message Filter applies, and the duplicate is moved again to the Local Folder.

--

I believe the only way to resolve this is if I could select "Inbox" specifically, for the Message Filter.

So my question is whether it's possible (maybe with an addon) to select which folder I want a specific Message Filter to apply to.

Thank you!

OS: Windows 11 Pro (23H2) Tb Version: 115.9.0 (64-Bit)

This is more a design question. With the Supernove release you moved the search bar and action icon into the top of the window. So on the email and calendar tab all the buttons are now on the very top next to search bar.

I configured to create new appointments in a new tab, not an extra window. But in this appointment tab the action buttons are in a seperate action bar below the tabs for email and calendar and not next to the search bar on top like I would have expected it according to the new design. I added screenshot to describe better what I mean. Is it planned to move the action buttons to the top for the new apointment tab?`

In general it is a bit annoying that the height of the toolbar on top varies. Like if there are buttons and you choose "show text below symbols" for it the toolbar is higher, of course. But then if you have a tab without symbols, e.g. the settings-tab or the new appointment tab, the height of the toolbar reduces. It would be great if this could be standardized.

I can no longer sort emails by date. I did find “Sort by – date” in the right hand menu but it’s greyed out. Since I’ve noticed tags are underlined when a new email has come from the same source, but the option to view only tags are greyed out too. So I have an impossible jumble of emails “sorted” by sender and without taking all morning, I’m left with no idea what new emails I’ve received!

I’ve only one sensible option left. I still have my old computer that runs on “outdated” software. I can consult Old Thunderbird, installed about eight years ago! That version works just fine!

Thanks!

Lately Thunderbird is very, very slow to send or receive email from POP3 Gmail. I've noticed the slowdown a while ago, and hoped that a reinstall would fix the issue. But it does not.

I am using a fresh snap install of 115.9.0 on a fresh Ubuntu 24.04, with calendars disabled.

This is what happens:

  • When checking or sending mail, Thunderbird spins up a single CPU core for 130 seconds.
  • The CPU core spins only if Thunderbird is on foreground (not if in background or minimized).
  • I can see on the Network Monitor that until 130 seconds have elapsed no network request are made.
  • After 130 seconds of waiting, some requests to google are made and mail is actually checked in a couple of seconds.

Seems that Thunderbird waits for something that never happens, and actually checks mail only after something times out.

How can I fix this? Do you have any suggestion of what to try?

Regards,

José

I am running Thunderbird 115 on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon Desktop. I am used to an earlier version found in Mint 20.3, which had a header bar, I will call it, for lack of a better term, that let me sort by name, subject or date. By date, I could sort with ne newest or oldest email at the top. There is no such here on TBird 115.

There is a screenshot attached to this post showing at the top of my inbox.

Now, to answer my own question: Referring to that attached screenshot, there is an arrow pointing to the button, just right of the Quick filter. That button will open a menu that provides display options. Select to sort by, then select Date at the top of the menu and Descending toward the bottom of the menu, fourth up from the bottom, in my case. The Descending option will put the newest email at the top.

I replaced my computer. I followed these directions:

Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/moving-thunderbird-data-to-a-new-computer

I installed Thunderbird on the new computer. I opened Thunderbird and canceled configuring it. I copied the Thunderbird folder from my old C drive to the new computer to this folder:

C:\Users\bkoop\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird

I opened Thunderbird. All my 6 email accounts were listed. I had to click on folders for the message total number to appear. Several accounts received messages but no messages were retrieved for my main email account: bkoopers@irbl.net The 20 to 50 emails that I would normally receive after I powered off the old computer yesterday and up until 5:30 pm today when I setup Thunderbird on the new computer are not there. I logged into the webmail website for my bkoopers@irbl.net account. All emails not retrieved by Thunderbird should be listed there but there were no emails in the Inbox there. I had somebody send me an email. It appeared at the webmail screen. I selected "Get messages" for that email account in Thunderbird and I retrieved that message. A few minutes later, several other new emails arrived in Thunderbird in that email account. The emails from the previous 24 hours are just not there.

In addition, I have three Add-ons that I had installed: Quick Folder Move ReFwdFormatter ReplyWithHeader

They are listed in the Add-ons screen but they do not work. They do not say they are incompatible with Thunderbird v155.9.0. Do I need to remove and re-install them?

Can anybody tell me what happened to 24 hours worth of new emails from yesterday and earlier today?
