Trying to create a Group of ten people. Went to New Message, File, New, Connect where I filled out the Group name and emails of people in in it and then clicked add to Personal Address Book. Then there wasn't any other choice but to x it out but when I went to use the Group in an email it wasn't there.

if i move a message from my Thunderbird inbox on my PC to a folder in the local folders, the message moves correctly on the PC, but remains in the inbox on my iPhone.

If I delete a message from my Thunderbird inbox on my PC, it is deleted correctly on the PC and on my iPhone.

Any ideas why moving a message to a local folder is acting up suddenly!

It went away for a while but now it is back. When I select the text it usually (but not always) resolves. However it is a pain to keep stopping to do that.

I've tried the existing fixes but they either don't work or stop working after applied.

In composition, when I hit enter alone, it will have a double spaces instead of single space. The solution for that I can find in searching, so I can have a single space by using Shift + Enter keys. However, I could not find the permanent solution for that since I could not find the option which I can uncheck the box to turn off the double spaces by design. Please help. Thank you.

Hello there. On my previous email desktop app I was able to use my 'magic mouse' swipe features to quickly delete emails irrespective of even reading them first.

I have looked for this in the Thunderbird settings but I can't seem to find this option. Is it me? Or do you not have this?

Kind Regards,

James

Using TB 115.15. When I delete a number of messages, then empty the trash, I cannot delete another message until I restart Thunderbird. Is there a limit as to the number of emails I can trash prior to emptying the trash?

Hi All,

It's almost like I don't have connectivity to the Internet with Thunderbird when I have it with all other applications. Today, Thunderbird stopped working, sending and receiving email. For me that may be a good thing, given the number of junk mails I get but there are some important ones in there as well. I can see my mail if I directly to Comcast, but not Tbird. I also can't send email either. Has anyone woken up to this nightmare?

Regards,

Ernie

Hi All,

2 Days ago, I stopped receiving all emails into my 5 inboxes with Thunderbird on Windows 11 desktop.

Tried some troubleshhoting including updating to the latest version of Thunderbird version 128.7.1esr (64-bit) on desktop for Windows 11, and turning VPN off and on.

Would appreciate any troubleshooting ideas to get emails flowing again.

Thank you

My Thunderbird application is either deleting or hiding emails. So far, it appears to be emails I send and copy my self on. I included a BCC to my second email and still it disappeared.

I initially receive the emails, but once I exit Thunderbird, then later launch Thunderbird again, initially the email is present, then it disappears.

I have no idea what to do to correct this issue, if it is something I can correct.

I am running Thunderbird version 115.18.0 (64-bit), on Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.3

I hope there is a fix for this. I do not like seeing my emails disappearing before my eyes. This is a weird issue.

Thank you,

Clarence Hayes

I'm setting up TB for the first time. Have imported my contact list into TB from Google, but in my TB address list their email addresses are shown under Nicknames instead of Email addresses. Is there a way of changing this en bloc, please? Don't fancy having to click and drag them all across.

How do I take a screen shot of a received email message? I have a Win 11 PC, updated to most-recent. I tried [shift] [Windows] [S], and selected the portion I want (the entirety), but there seems to be no way to save this so I can send this as an attached file. (I am unable to send it as a forwarded email.)

I need to move around 9,000 emails from a business Google workspace email to a personal Gmail account. I successfully exported all 9,000 emails to a Mbox file. I added the new Gmail account I want to move the emails to and the exported file to Thunderbird and it shows over 20,000 emails in Thunderbox (even though there should only be around 9,000). I have tried moving the email file to the new email account within Thunderbird twice now. Both times it shows like it is moving the 20,000 emails but when it finishes it only moves around 1,200 emails. How do I get it to import all 9,000 of the emails that are in the exported file?

Hello

Overnight Thunderbird has developed a major problem. The count for the number of mails in a folder is correct, as best I can tell, but when I open the folder it is either empty or has fewer mails than the count. Based on several tests, repairing sometimes adds more mails, sometimes not, but never the entire folder.

I repaired the inbox and it is now showing several mails that I deleted in the last few days (by emptying the delete folder having previously deleted them). Curiously, they’re all the same type, routine mailings about road works.

I may have backup in that I copy the entire Thunderbird folder to an external drive every morning, including today, and to Google Drive every Wednesday.

Please can you help.

Thank you

I am no tech genius and am struggling....

I have an old laptop (L1) and now have a new laptop (L2) - wanted to make my Thunderbird messages (POP account) accessible on both so installed Thunderbird on L2. The problem I then had was that if messages went to L1 or my phone they didn't come through to L2. So I went into my gmail through google on L1 and changed my POP settings, not really knowing what I was doing. I changed it to 'Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)' and 'Keep Gmail's copy in the Inbox'.

This resulted in every email I'd ever had since setting up my Gmail reloading into my inbox (20K messages!) on L1. I now get new messages on both laptops however nothing is showing in any of my L1 Inbox subfolders (I had everything nicely filed...), and on top of this if I make a new subfolder the folder appears but if I moves a message from inbox to that folder the message disappears i.e., it's not visible....

I restarted Thunderbird after this and got an error message 'Couldn't load XPCOM' but I can still see all my inbox messages so seems to be starting up OK but the folder problem persists. It's maddening as I can't sort out my 20K messages into manageable folders....

I'd really like to understand - in an explanation fit for a tech dunderhead - what's going on. Both to fix it, and to stop the same thing ever happening in my Thunderbird on L2....

It'd be much appreciated if someone could help me unravel :)

I have just set up two email accounts. One of the accounts will sent the message from the inbox to trash shortly after it is read. And also, what is the difference between the trash folder and the deleted folder in the Thunderbird app? Thanks.
