In a newsgroup I have a message containing the word 'werewolf' in its body. If I do a control-K search for 'werewolf' I see 'No messages match your search'. In the left of the display I also see 'Filters From Me (0) To Me (0). I don't know what this means and I don't know why the search couldn't find a message containing 'werewolf'. If I do a control-shift-K search and select the 'Body' button I see 'No message found'. The control-shift-F search will not look in message bodies. Why can't I find the message that contains the word 'werewolf'? What am I missing? Alan.

What is difference between Thunderbird and Pro version. Would Thunderbird Pro be available as free version or just monthly subscription.

Thunderbird won't completely delete an invalid email address

I deleted an old email address for a friend, but every time I email her, the auto-complete feature includes both the current email address and the one for her old job. I've deleted that one, and it doesn't seem to show up in the Address Book anywhere, so why does it keep coming up in the auto-complete?

It's annoying to me and to the place of employment to have the emails go to the wrong address when I'm not watching very carefully.

How can I make sure this doesn't happen again?

New notifications behavior in incoming Junk mail

I am on Ubuntu 22.04.5 using Thunderbird 140.7.1esr (64-bit). After the latest update (from 128.12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) the notifications for mail has changed. Inst… (read more)

I am on Ubuntu 22.04.5 using Thunderbird 140.7.1esr (64-bit). After the latest update (from 128.12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) the notifications for mail has changed. Instead of just getting a notice, the notice now allows me to mark as read right within the notification (which is cool), but also now I am getting notifications when Junk mail comes in. Not a notification that it's junk, just that it is a new email.

I do *not* want these to automatically get marked as Read when they come in, as I do want to manually review them in case it's a mistake, and leaving them as unread in my Junk folder makes sense to me in order to make that easier. However, I do not want these notifications on each and every mail. If it's junk it should just silently classify it as such, like it used to. However, I cannot find a setting for this. is there a way to revert to the old behavior without rolling back to an earlier version of Thunderbird? Thanks!

I use Thunderbird to store loacally some email from gmail and delete it from the online server.

Until october last year it was working flawless, to day I need to read an old email and I discovered that locally since october of some email is only stored the subject and somtime I only have the ticker that increase in the stored email email, but there is either not title or subject. I didn't change any setting in my computer or in the antivirus,, the only thing is that I perform the update of thunderbird as usual. Is it possible to recover these emails or they are gone forever?

Best regards

I asked previously and didn't find a solution. Because I still needed to get below Yahoo Mail's new storage limits (which take effect on May 5) I completed that objective the hard way.

BUT Thunderbird processed thousands of emails before choking on the single email that stopped it. What became of those emails? What do I need to do at this point?

Hello!

I am using Thunderbird 140.9.1esr (64-bit) on a Ubuntu 24.04 system. Every time I restart Thunderbird, it reverts to a little used Gmail account as the default account. I have several accounts, but my main email account is a MS365 account. I reset the setting, but every time it is restarted, the default goes back to Gmail. I have tried everything that I've found online, but cannot correct this behaviour.

Do you have any suggestions or assistance?

Many thanks!
