I add this to my settings question of earlier this afternoon but I don't think it's settings. I signed into att at 5:45 to find four identical messages from att about a sign in at 5 pm (which was me). Then I went to Thunderbird and, instead of my mail boxes under my email address, there were three empty folders all entitled !%26! followed by an endless string of capital As. Have I lost every thing? Have I been hacked so quickly? Can I recover my mail boxes?

Hope I hear from some one. Thank you. Marjorie

Hi, my name is Richard Hagen and I live in Illinois. On two websites, Zero Hedge and Naked Capitalism I constantly have this message blocking photos, videos, quotes. I don't know how to send a screen shot but the message is always the same:

                                                                                      X  

                                                             x trackers and content blocked

                                       Your Firefox setting blocked this content from tracking you

I not going to change anything as I have a right to protect myself from uninvited intruders into my personal choices of internet sites. I want these people out of my computer.

                                                                                                                  Thank You

Recently I've noticed that Thunderbird asks to compact folders very frequently and if I say 'later' the size of the file needing compacting grows substantially each time (typ. 3 to 5 GB increase). See attached screenshot When I finally tell it to compact folders, the message pane goes blank but usually (but not always) returns. When it does come back there is an error window (See attached screenshot )

This is a new phenomenon and is making Thunderbird a pain to use: it wastes time and is scary when the Mozilla support pages say it can lose messages. I'm reluctant to have it do compacting automatically.

Can this bug be fixed? I'm on 138.0.1 on Win 11, but the question in support only customizes to 128. Probably irrelevant. I have plenty of disk space and RAM space available

I'm a decades long Eudora/Thunderbird user and don't want to have to change to something else. Thunderbird is great, except for this.

Help please. Thanks,

Hi, Just got computer back from shop where - rather than upgrade - they did a clean install of Win11. I was under the impression from them they'd backup everything on a new "backup" drive they installed to double my capacity as part of the upgrade process.

They're version of backing up Thunderbird left me with a folder "Thunderbird_profile_backup.zip" that is 9,698,657kb in size.

I am attempting to install Thunderbird on the essentially new computer and restore all data from the previous installation.

Is this even possible anymore at this point?

I have data in that file that is important not only financially but archived family info from now deceased members... I'd really like to recover it.

In short help! lol.

I like to use "Table view". I can select it after I open thunderbird, but every time I start thunderbird, it starts in "Card view". I am using release 140.1.1esr on Windows 11. My email is lmpetrie@live.com.

There used to be a row of actions I could take listed across the top of the T'Bird main page. Buttons for File, View, Tools, Help, and some others. They no longer appear, I guess after a recent update. I occasionally show having a message in my inbox which does not appear anywhere on my list. I used to go into one of those areas (maybe tools or view, don't remember) and select "Unread" and find those messages. Without those boxes to pick from I can no longer do that, and it really bugs me that my notification always says I have 1 message even though I have cleared all the highlighted messages. I have slowly scrolled all the way to the end of my undeleted emails and there are none in bold type to indicate it is unread. Can anyone tell me why those buttons disappeared and whether or not I can get them back ? At the least can someone please advise me as to how to find the 1 elusive message ? Any help greatly appreciated. A secondary issue, since an update over a year ago, I can no longer send messages from this account or reply to any messages sent to me. I have tried everything I can from the Mozilla Knowledge base, and even called Comcast, whose internet connection I was using when I set up the account (now on Spectrum). All my computer settings seem to be correct. I really love Thunderbird and it's ease of use and control, but I'm going to have to quit it if I can't resolve these issues. Again, thanks for any help.

Firefox is only connecting to some internets. Other seem to make a connection but then show a blank screen. e,g Cooperative Bank, Octopus, Talk Talk. Santander and Amazon work normally
