Bonjour Depuis qlqs temps j'ai un dossier Envoyé et Sent message Je souhaite supprimer le dossier Sent message et je n'y arrive pas Comment faire ? Salutations

I have found a complete folder with subfolders in my Trash at last three or four times now, and I did not move it there. The folders are still in Local Folders but they are empty and I have to move everything back. Why is this happening? Just in the last six months has this occurred.

Added/Created this folder " " 0 _2026 - BANKS - 5 CARS [ 2 NEW/3USED ] "

Now the folder looks like this

         0 _2026 - BANKS - 5 CARS  [ 2 NEWe96f7068

I have a dozen other folders that appear like this with the letters/numbers at the end. When I delete them they reappear next time I open Thunderbird.

Are these folders corrupt? 
How do I eliminate them ?  
How do I stop folders from reappearing?

Thanks,Mike

I am running Windows 11 Pro and Thunderbird version 115.8.0. When I went into my emails this morning I tried to delete 1 junk email and my entire inbox all my emails disappeared. How do I get them back?????

Hey, i have a question

i recently installed my computer new, now i pulled over my Thunderbird profile folder, i have 2 email accounts and like 30 feeds, now when i click on a feed it shows

"feedname - 623 messages"

NO MESSAGES

aka its empty, when i restart its fixed, and i never get a blue update mark aka he does pull new messages but does not inform me

any way to fix this? Thanks :)

Using the Spell checker in long test the cursor gets behind the popup window of the Spell checker. I know this was _no_ problem in further vcersions. Please change it! So I have to close the window to find the caursor and restart the Spell checker

Hello,

I love Thunderbird, but I have recently moved to use a Android device for most of my work, and despite that there is now Thunderbird for Android, I found that there is a feature I really need but it is not working there: moving mails across different accounts. I work daily with four different accounts and sometimes I need to move some threads from to another. I had to move to a different email reader because of that, but I would really love to come back to Thunderbird.

Best regards, Patricia.

Messages that I have moved to Archive have totally vanished. A message which I needed to keep I found in 'deleted'. I then moved it to Archive - and it vanished altogether. I do not feel in control of this new Thunderbird! Please, is there any way of getting this message back?

Sorry - I feel as though I'm monopolising this forum at the moment!

In my Menu bar, I have Delete, but, using this, I can only delete emails from the Unified list, not individual accounts. I CAN delete from individual accounts if I select the email, right click and select delete. Seems odd

This has been happening for a long long time - probably a few years' worth of versions. I have just put up with it... currently running Tbird 147 and it just happened.

When editing an email (either the body or the Subject), if you use the backspace button (the one that deletes to the left) to delete some text sometimes the cursor will incorrectly be positioned about 5 or 6 characters further left than it should.

For example, if I had the text: "Quick brown fox jumps over the moon"

If I were to highlight "fox" in the above example, and hit backspace, I would expect the cursor to end up positioned between the remaining spaces after 'brown' ( pipe symbol here is meant to represent the cursor position): "brown | jumps"

But instead what happens is that the cursor ends up somewhere among/before the word "brown". It's always further left than it should be, by 5 or 6 characters.

I believe it only happens when highlighting multiple characters and then hitting backspace. It may be more (only?) prevalent when editing/replying to an existing email. (But I'm still only editing the new portions that I add at the top of the email; I'm almost never editing in amongst the original quoted email content.)

I also haven't ever been able to figure out how to make it happen, sorry. It is just random...It will happen once in an email, but then not again. But it happens frequently - 3-6 times a day perhaps. (Depends on how many emails I am editing.  :) )

I don't believe that I have noticed this issue if I were using the Delete button (deletes things to the right). I don't think it happens when backspacing one character at a time...but it might. I also use Option-Backspace to delete whole words at a time (instead of highlighting the word); not exactly sure if it happens only if highlighting a word, or only if Option-Backspace, or single key press... sorry, it is so random and unexpected that I don't have more specifics.
