For months now, when deleting emails in Thunderbird, it sometimes creates multiple records of the same deleted email in the Deleted Messages folder, sometimes several hundred copies of the same email. It doesn't do it for all deleted emails, and I have not been able to discern any pattern or cause. As a result, my wife's Deleted Messages folder has 8,700 deleted emails in the last 3 months, far more emails than she receives. Edwin Miller

Hello,

when i do copy and paste from documents, mails or websites i always do it via right-click and paste without format (idk the correct english term, cause i am using the german edition).

Often the text is displayed without format (thats what i want!) but when i send my mail its written in the copied Format (e.g. Times New Roman). Its a little bit confusing that there is text format, when i insert it. The opponent is getting my mail in wrong format. How can i change it? Am i using the paste wrong?

Hello,

I recently "cleaned up" my inbox for an email account that is many years old. I did this because old emails that come up in search are found, but blank. So per Mozilla recommendation I "cleaned up" this folder but when it finished it removed every single email except for one from 2011 and starting in mid 2024. Everything in between is either hidden or gone.

What happened and how do I get these back? They weren't deleted as they aren't in the trash.

Thanks!

I can't add a outlook.com account in thunderbird android version. Server I try to connect to is outlook.office365.com. I get following fault message , "User is authenticated but not connected". Also I can't set smtp server, smtp.office365.com.

I am trying to login to outlook with OAuth2. Regular password don't work.

I have an email account with multiple identities (aliases), some of which I would like to add under the same OpenPGP key that I'm using for the main identity. I couldn't find any option in the OpenPGP Key Manager in Thunderbird which would allow me to add identities to the key. How should I go about doing this?

For the last 5 or 6 days when I go to block a spam sender I get this message "We couldn't block this sender. Please try again later." It happens on every email address I try to block - so far, about a dozen or so.

Is this a temporary glitch?

Many thanks for looking into this for me!

I upgraded Thunderbird a few days ago to 141.0 (64 bit). Today, I note the spam folders in both of my email accounts are missing. So where is spam email going? Is the software automatically routing it into the JUNK folder? If not, how do I resurrect my spam folders?

Hi!

When I click on an Email in the Email-list it will not open in the Mailwindow. Also it will not be marked as read. Same thing with doupleclicking the Mail. It will open the Mail-Tab but it is empty and the Mail is still marked as not yet read. New Mails are downiaded and appear in the Maillist. I´m using Thunderbird 141.0 in Windows 11.

Help...!!! ;-)

I am trying to set up a filter to copy the last sent email to another folder. When I do this I get a copy in the inbox from where the email has been sent. The copy ends up where I asked but the copy in the inbox is annoying and I can see no reason why it is doing this. Any pointers? Many thanks.

I am being told by Microsoft that in order to use the New Outlook, I have to sync my IMAP to the cloud, so I'm looking for an alternative email client that allows me to work offline with pst/ost files. Does Thunderbird allow this? Also very concerned about data breaches and security. Thanks!

I have a small laptop I use when out of the office. It has very little memory. So for that copy of Thunderbird, I don't want all the old emails to be downloaded, just new and the few most recent, say two weeks or a month worth. Can I limit the downloads of old email or make them on demand?
