Today TB froze during start up. No problems yesterday.

I deleted global-messages-db.sqlite and restarted TB. Now it is frozen with a "Loading messages". Maybe it is rebuilding indexes and this takes a long time and I should be patient.

Maybe my In and Sent mail boxes are too big? If so, how can I safely prune them?

TB is becoming increasingly unstable for me. It was very reliable before about a month ago.

I doubt my AV is the culprit because AV has not changed today.

Thank you one and all.

ever since last update... can't send emails

Send Message Error Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: E5rTxqhwZYbiPE5rUxBTZm DMARC Policy Enforcement: https://postmaster.comcast.net/smtp-error-codes.php#ODM00001. Please check the message and try again.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a reliable method to convert multiple MBOX files to PDF format with attachments preserved. I have several email archives, and manually opening and saving each email as a PDF would take too much time. I also want to retain important email details, such as sender, recipient, subject, date, and attachments.

While searching online for the best MBOX to PDF converter in 2026, I came across Aryson MBOX to PDF Converter Tool. It appears to support bulk conversion and attachment handling. Has anyone here used Aryson for this purpose? How was your experience with the conversion quality, attachment preservation, and overall performance? I’d appreciate genuine feedback or suggestions for other reliable methods

I have multiple email accounts on Thunderbird (on MX Linux)... att.net, gmail.com and aol.com

While traveling without my computer, i had to reset my aol password on my iphone.

Now that I'm back at my desk, and being unable to find how to change the aol password on Thunderbird, I deleted the AOL imap account and have tried much of today to add a new AOL account.

In the past, I could create an 'app password' within AOL (browser) and use that password in Thunderbird... but that is no longer working.

Any guidance/suggestions?

I am running the latest Thunderbird version 140.17.0esr (64-bit) available in my MX Linux.

Attaching files no longer works in the current version of Thunderbird—what should I do now?

Das anhängen von Dateien in der aktuellen Thunderbird-Version funktioniert nicht mehr, und nun?

I would like to uninstall my Thunderbird 32-bit and then install the 64-bit version. Or could I just install 64-bit on top of 32-bit? Are there any disadvanteges with going to 64-bit?

Hello, since recently I am no longer able to use my Google Calendars in Thunderbird. Environment: - Thunderbird 153.4.0esr, 64-bit - Windows11 - Google Calendar / CalDAV - No “Provider for Google Calendar” add-on installed Problem: My Google calendars previously worked normally in Thunderbird. Recently Thunderbird started showing that the calendar was temporarily unavailable, and attempts to modify events resulted in: MODIFICATION_FAILED I therefore removed all Google calendars from Thunderbird and tried to add them again. When adding the calendar using: https://calendar.google.com Thunderbird opens the Google OAuth login. I can log in successfully with the correct Google account and complete the authentication process. However, afterwards Thunderbird reports: “The entered credentials were rejected. Please check the settings above.” I have already tried the following several times: - removed all stored Google / OAuth credentials from Thunderbird - restarted Thunderbird - verified that cookies are enabled - verified that no VPN is active - tested the Google Calendar successfully in the browser - tried the direct CalDAV endpoint at apidata.googleusercontent.com - confirmed that the “Provider for Google Calendar” extension is not installed The Google account and Calendar itself work normally in the browser. The issue therefore appears to be related to Thunderbird’s Google Calendar OAuth / CalDAV authentication. Could you please confirm whether this is a known issue in Thunderbird 153.4.0esr and whether there is a workaround or fix planned? Thank you.

My Thunderbird connected to my gmail is running slow. Thunderbird is not running slow on my other (non-gmail) account. It takes 10-15 seconds for an e-mail (from gmail) to be deleted or moved within Thunderbird. I have tried "compacting folders" and "repairing folders" and that does not help. Please help!

Since the recent update, 157.1, I cannot get the "Get Messages" button to work and it will not download new emails. I can download a previous version and it works just fine. I also cannot stop the auto updating function even though I check the box to not auto install.

Hello, i use Thunderbird on two desktop-pc and one mobile phone for my e-mail account. Since two days it is not possible anymore to place attachments on one of the desktop pc. The other devices work correctly. What can I do? Best regards, Andreas

Ich kann seit heute Vormittag (9.10.) die Funktion "Anhänge" bei thunderbird nicht mehr öffnen, also keine Anhänge mehr hinzufügen. Wer kann mir helfen? Auch mit Str. + Umschalt +A funktioniert es nicht. Vielen Dank, Gesche

Also to find the suggested file mail.compose.attach.dir I can not find to remove this file. This was suggested to resolve the problem that I can not add an attachment in Thunderbird since 3 days

This morning, my email Inbox is empty. I use Thunderbird for four email accounts, and three of them are fine, but the fourth one has an empty Inbox this morning. I didn't (intentionally, anyway) move the emails anywhere, and they do appear to be in the All Mail folder, so I didn't lose them entirely. But I keep my emails mostly in my Inbox and they aren't there anymore.

Any ideas what happened to make them disappear and how I can get them back to the Inbox?

Thanks!

This seems to have occurred in the last month or so.

Whenever I click on a message in the folders pane, the message is not displayed correctly in any of the three layout views but, if I am offered to display in a browser, it does! Also, if I select 'Edit as a new message' it displays correctly, as also do iPhone and iPads. The screenshot shows the problem?

Any ideas, anyone?
