Hi -- I have a problem in which I can't seem to access certain emails except via search. If I look in the folder directly, they seem not to be there. For instance, in a specific instance I just discovered I have a local folder in which I have archived a certain category of emails. I went looking there for emails from a certain party and they were missing. So I ran a search, assuming I'd made a mistake and put them in some other folder, but no, the 30-40 emails show up in the search, indicated as being in the folder they were supposed to be in. I can access the contents of these emails via search, so they exist SOMEWHERE that Thunderbird can find them.

I tried running a repair on that folder, and that did not make these emails return.

I should say that I've been on Thunderbird for many, many years and have quite huge archives, though this particular folder only has a few hundred emails. Have I maxed out the poor thing and am getting into the flaky zone where it just can't handle indexing all the emails?

I still can't set up this account ( see attachment) on Thunderbird even though every thing is correct, including my password.

I never had this issue until this email address. I have no problem accessing it on Yahoo.

Thank you in advance for any assistance in solving this issue

What is the problem? This has made my life almost impossible. Do you understand the impact of not being able to use links in emails? It is the only way to access what the email is about. It means I cannot unsubscribe from anything either. When I tried to follow manual instructions they did not make sense and what was described was not what was on the set up. I am not a tech I don't understand and for Thunderbird to have no way to get help is beyond shameful and insulting. It is a "fuck you" to all of us. Insult to injury is the constant nag for donations. How dare you ask for this when you provide no help at all. It should be illegal to do this. I have tried for help on here before and received no answer. I cannot function like this. There is no Kindness here. ' When I try to take a screen shot the pop-up message disappears. This is what it says "This file does not have an app associated with it for performing his action. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Settings page." I tried and it would not do it and only Chrome was offered. I do not use Chrome. I need my email back. Thunderbird has effectively ruined my life. It should not be this hard or disrespectful.

Please I want to remove Ai from Firefox Mozila permanently on Windows 11 for all users/profiles:

I tried a lot of workarounds but they are unsuccessfully: I tried to create extensions (Hide Gemini, AI Google Overview), but they do not work for all users; only profile-based extensions are supported. I tried to use preferences using internal settings on Firefox, but it does not apply to all users. I tried using a script on PowerShell for all users merging internal preferences, but it does not work I copied the local and roaming settings from Firefox to the Default profile, but it was unsuccessful.

I also tried to remove "All" from the search page, but I moved the seach to go to the tab "Web" only.

Tbird starts to d/l messages: "nn of mm new messages" counts up and just before it gets to the last few, it stops. It doesn't put the retrieved messages in the inbox or anything. Then it gives this error message:

"The DELE command did not succeed. Error marking a message as deleted. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded: Too many requests."

But this is POP mail, so delete request don't go back to the mail server. The number of emails deleted from the local db shouldn't have any effect on d/l... I'm mightily confused.

Yes, I did delete thousands of old emails. Still shouldn't make any difference for retrieving mail, nor should the client be overwhelmed by commands it successfully executed days ago.

I was planning to start using the AI chatbot sidebar finally, tried out all of the free options available and settled on HuggingChat. The very next day, HuggingChat ceased operations. I don't really like the other preset options, but I have a couple of other models that I would be interested in trying out. Is there some way to add a different model than the five preset or am I just out of luck?

I have a lot of Firefox windows and tabs open, and I really don't want to lose my session.

I wanted to open a webpage in Firefox in fullscreen mode. But evidently there's some kind of serious flaw in Firefox that makes it incapable of opening webpages in fullscreen mode. Everyone says the only workaround is to open the webpage in kiosk mode. So I tried it.

But now I have two big problems:

1. One of my Firefox windows, with all its tabs, is stuck in kiosk mode. (Even if I close the window and then restore it with Ctrl+Shift+T, it's still in kiosk mode.)

2. All new Firefox windows I open with Ctrl+N are also stuck in kiosk mode.

I don't know what to do, and I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hi,

I'm ready to quit using Microsoft Outlook, and Thunderbird came highly recommended.

Two questions please.

1. Can I continue to use my current e-mail address? Currently my Norman@TwoKassers.com is hosted by GoDaddy, and they allow me to use Microsoft Classic Outlook. I have no idea what's involved if I were to switch to Thunderbird.

2. Over the years, I have offload lots of e-mail from Outlook's root PST file into several other folders linked to other PST files. Can Thunderbird work with all my PST files?

Thanks, Norman Kasser, Hoboken NJ
