My Thunderbird on one of my computers has decided it won't download any emails for one of my email accounts, as of Nov. 1, 2024. I have several email accounts in Thunderbird, and only one email account doesn't download. It starts the process by logging in and saying it download 1 of x# of emails, and then it just stops downloading without giving me any error message.

I have the same Thunderbird email account on another computer and it works just fine. So it's obvious related to the one computer and one installation of Thunderbird.

Is there anything I can do to figure out how to fix this problem?

If a new email in HTML format with downloadable content, it takes over 10 seconds to display the new email. I see the downloading bar at the bottom while waiting. It started to happen about one or two weeks ago and it has been consistent. Once the new email is displayed, going back to the email displays it instantly. I wonder if anyone is experiencing the same. I updated TB to 128.4.2esr earlier today and it has not made any difference.

I was very excited to hear about Thunderbird for Android. I have been using K-9 for years. My account is a POP account. I have only 3 gripes with K-9 that I hope are addressed in Thunderbird for Android.

1) K-9 does not allow me to create local subfolders to organize my emails. My inbox is a monster of disorganized emails and so the search option is my only friend. 2) If I should accidentally delete an email in K-9 I cannot undelete it. 3) K-9 has never provided a way to directly print emails. I have to forward the email to my print server.

Please, can anyone tell me if these deficiencies have been addressed in Thunderbird for Android?

Many thanks.

Richard

Adding addresses to a Personal Address Book uses the wrong entry from the general address book if there are entries with the same address

I'm managing some tasks for a club and try to set up a personal address book containing all the members. I found, that TB 128.4.2esr (64-Bit) silently ignores added members, like couples, who use the same mail address. The solution I tried is to add another address entry addressing both of them in the name field. Ending up with three entries in the general address book with identical mail addresses. Now, adding the entry with both names to the Personal Address Book doesn't show this entry but one of the other two with the same address. Any solution for this kind of (minor) problem? Thank you!
