128.6.0esr (64-bit):

Have in the past received occasional e-messages where I needed to go to a file-sharing site to open pix. That is the extent of my understanding of file-sharing, how to file-share my e-message with the .mp4 files attached, etc., etc.

PC here; Windows 10.

So how can I file-share my message with .mp4 attachments?

Thank you. Appreciated.

The 'Sent' file in my 'Mail' folder exceeds 3 GB (3,224,360,399 bytes) and is not being read in the TB Mail window. How can I reduce the size of this file AND save messages???

'Sent' message folder IS searchable!!!

The last few days I am unable to send emails as I get an error message which said there is a SMTP error - I have checked it & cannot see what the problem is

I was also unable to receive emails for a day or two but that has now corrected itself

Have used Thunderbird for many years and would like to continue but this problem makes it impossible

I would like to donate but don't want to when this problem exists as it makes it un-useable

Any help much appreciated............Elizabeth

I asked bout this a couple of weeks ago but didn't get a response. Perhaps I asked under the wrong heading. I'm not the sharpest tack in the box when it comes to these things. Over the holidays I prepared many emails to send afterwards. I created sub-folders in my drafts folder. I sent the emails OK, but then I couldn't delete the folders I created in the drafts folder. Not only that but the folder icons in Drafts turned from yellow to purple and they did that in all four of my email accounts, even though my storage of emails was all in one single account. When I right click on the folders I don't get the option to delete and the folders won't allow being dragged to trash. Also one of the folders suddenly disappeared with all of the prepared email in it. Can you help me correct this condition? Thanks.

At some point after one of the recent major updates, Thunderbird has become horribly slow. In particular, filters and searches. After typing the first character, the program becomes unresponsive for 6-10 seconds, and this continues this behavior after typing each character. At the same time, the screen will compress to the left, and then go back to normal size. The application becomes unresponsive, but there is no category in the performance monitor that is at 100% (CPU, RAM, SSD, Network, GPU). Thunderbird doesn't use more than about 20% of CPU capacity, and I have 24GB of RAM free, but still becomes unresponsive.

Do you have any suggestions?

My computer has NVME SSDs and 32GB of ram, so I don't think it should be a performance issue. I am running Windows 10 Pro.

Thanks

opening mail results in 'flashing' and not being able to see it. Headers sometimes do not match body of mail. Repaired folders several times, ran troubleshooter, uninstalled/reinstalled. Still happens. Flashes so fast you can sort of see the body, but it won't actually download. Took 10 tries to grab email # code to sign in here.

The messages are all still there, but nothing remains that may be selected.

My workaround is to type a period (.) in the search bar and Filter messages by: Sender. Since every sender's email address contains a period in it, I'm able to see the entirety of the inbox contents again.

Still, it's a pain in the butt!

I added Gmail account to Thunderbird on my Desktop and the number of emails is different on thunderbird and on Gmail. On Gmail there are 5666 emails in the Inbox but on Thunderbird the Inbox shows 10319. Is there a way to configure to display the emails as they are displayed on gmail? I'm moving the emails from one account to another and I don't want the client to be shocked when he sees 10319 instead of 5666. the discrepancy is too big.

I down loader Thunderbird v128.5.2esr. Got me emails importing from MS live mail. I cannot move, copy or delete messages in the subfolders in the local folder. Try (move to) and (copy to), also, try (mover folder add-on) and (mover messages add-on).

Is there a setting I am missing in the Thunderbird settings or is there something else going on?

Thunderbird supports multiple file formats to import contact lists. How do I import profile images of contact list? .vcf files are supposed to support image data, but thunderbird does not seem to detect that.

I am experiencing a symptom sometimes when I delete a message in the Thunderbord email client (in any folder), all messages disappearing from all accounts in the entire Thunderbird including Inbox, Drafts, Trash, Sent and everything else. All folders become empty. The messages are not deleted, just not showing. Using the Trash icon of Thunderbird or pressing the delete key are the same. There is no way to display the messages again except to close and re-open Thunderbird. After that, everything return to normal. This does not always happen, about 75% of time. Thunderbird version is 128.6.0esr (64-bit), Windows 11 but the same also happened on previous versions and Windows 10.

See description in Subject line. Can't download new email from POP account since 10 a.m. EST January 14 2025 Tried recreating global-messages-db.sqlite file in Profile. Process worked but no change to email status. I can open old email and can send new. HINT--TBird no longer requires my PWD to read and send! Any suggestions for how to regain access to new email? Running Tbird 128.6.0 on Dell machine with Windows 11. Email continues to show up on my iPhone and via web mail access to my provider, Astound, as rcn.net From looking at the user forum, it seems that something may have gone haywire with email downloads when T-bird was updated to 128.6--is that the problem source? If so, how to fix that?

Like the title says, I am getting some emails that move from Unified Inbox to an IMAP subfolder of account X, but remain visible in the UNIFIED Inbox.

First uploaded image shows 3 IMAP accounts as they appear in Thunderbird, second uploaded image shows how subfolders appear in IMAP account X (the third account in Thunderbird).

Mail is properly arriving in the 3rd account and shows up in both IMAP and Unified Inboxes, but only sometimes (and not with specific senders) can be moved into the 3rd account subfolder.

They are correctly removed from the IMAP Inbox but remain visible in the UNIFIED inbox and are found when I search in the UNIFIED inbox but not in the IMAP Inbox.

The messages persist in the UNIFIED Inbox through multiple restarts of Thunderbird and my PC, and some email continues to arrive in the 3rd account and cam be moved as expected, then another arrives that cannot be removed.

Strangely, if I delete the mail from the UNIFIED inbox, it is deleted both there and in the subfolder, so it appears something is making the display of the UNIFIED inbox keep a link to the new location of the email.

Bleah!

Any body see anything similar? I read several older threads about move problems, but this seems different.

Thanks!

Thunderbird BETA 135.0b1 (64-bit) Probably not very interesting but: Windows 11 Home; 23H2; OS build 22631.4751; Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1055.0 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1195G7 @ 2.90GHz 2.92 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Depuis 2 jours, je ne peux plus envoyer de courriel avec ma messagerie Thunderbird. J'ai tout essayé, rien ne fonctionne !!! je me suis créé un compte Gmail et la, tout va bien. Je vais donc quitter thunderbird et par la même occasion firefox. Merci mozilla 111

Mail is downloading to Thunderbird, but is not going to inbox. I can only see it if I search in the universal search tool, asking to see all the mail from today's date. I can't figure out where it's going! This is a new issue, after thousands of successful downloads from my domain.

I believe that since the update, I have not been able to access my emails or send emails. The password is not being recognized and I cannot receive or respond to my business emails.

I have email through AT&T, hosted by Yahoo, and have synched my calendar for years. It has now stopped enabling and updating. In calendar screen, grey ENABLE button now shows. Click it and I see a quick flash of items and instantly disappear. Nothing happens.

Select properties and the enable box is not checked. I can check it, click OK and again it won't enable. On my to do lists for this account, same issue. Click enable, it flashes the items and then they disappear. Won't stay enabled.

Contacts still sync so appears to be a caldav issue.

Was working fine, but stopped a few weeks ago. I can't find a solution. Help please.
