Ever since I updated to Thunderbird ver 128.4.2 esr, I can no longer do a global search by electing to search "Local Folders" and include all subfolders in the search. For example, as a test case, if I search for all messages dated after 1/1/2024, no messages in my "Inbox" folder are listed. It is true that of the 20 or so subfolders of "Local Folders", there is one subfolder named "Misc". Messages in "Misc" and its subfolders that meet the 1/1/2024 test criterion are found and listed, but other subfolders of "Local Folders" are ignored. Instead, the search engine remains hung in a "....Searching" state until I manually close the search.

But also ... if I choose to explicitly name any one of the subfolders of "Local Folders" as the root folder of a search (and "include all subfolders" contained in that root, the test case above finds all messages in the named subfolder and it's subordinate subfolders.

Bottom line ... I have a lot of subfolders and sometimes I've forgotten where I have stored a particular message. In a pile of messages decades deep, this problem has become a major disability. Someone please help!

Some facts that might be important.

I had hoped the problem might go away with subsequent Thunderbird updates. I've updated my mac to TBird 128.5.2esr now: but I still have the problem

I'm still running the latest version of Big_Sur on my mac. (I don't have this problem on a laptop that's running a later version of MacOS)

I have a lot of filters that automatically move incoming messages to my myriad of subfolders. The filter engine appears to continue to work correctly implying that, the filter engine knows how to find all of the subfolders of "Local Folders" even though the search engine doesn't.

Hi, The drop down for open Email messages that is displayed horizontally across the top of the screen just contains blank boxes. The boxes used to display the related open email message when you click on it. Now the empty box just displays a blank page. Any new messages I open today, display correctly in a new box and open up correctly when I click on the box. All previous open messages before today appear to have lost their link. Is there any possibility of restoring the link to older messages? Thanks for any help you can provide!

FYI - I have not made any software or hardware changes in the past 6 months.

Up until today Thunderbird (v. 102.15.1) was working well. Today I found it was not downloading messages from my email server (Zoho). I tried many things to fix it, to no avail. Finally I restored everything from a full backup I had made a day previous when Thunderbird was working well. Thunderbird *still* doesn't work. Even test messages I send to myself are not downloaded.

When I click the button "Get Messages" normally it checks for and downloads all new messages. Now clicking it does nothing. If instead I click the down-arrow next to the button and choose "Get all new messages" it does check for new messages and claims to be downloading them, but they never appear in my mailbox.

I have Thunderbird (admittedly, a later version) installed on another computer and that continues to work fine, so the problem doesn't appear to be caused by the server.

What could be causing this behavior?

I have a new Thunderbird installation - IMAP account. I cannot see invite emails (containing .ics) in my inbox. I can see them on another Thunderbird installation, I can see them on outlook, I can see them when I go to full search, but they don't show in the inbox.

When received, I hear the audio alert - but the number of new emails messages does not increase, nor does it display.

(It's not in junk, I haven't deleted it - the main search shows it's in the inbox folder, but it's not visible on the inbox tab).

In the last few weeks when i look at the Washington Post "The Seven" newsletter e-mail there are words missing from the description of each item. Only the words that are underlined are shown. I have found that if I mouse select the text the missing words show up as white text on a blue background. But if I look at the same e-mail directly on AOL (my mail server) there is no problem. The picture shows what it looks like after I do the mouse select. I don't know how to fix this. Please help. George Mells

How to permanently set line spacing to "Single Line Spacing" in emails, any online solutions do not work in Thunderbird version 128.5 64 bit.

I used to able to do this easily and effectively but with the new version of Thunderbird I don't seem to be able to get it to work.

Any working solution would be most appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,

I have recently noticed that all my email in Thunderbird between August 26, 2024 and early November has gone missing. I have not changed anything in my Account Settings.

Coinciding with this, Thunderbird has lost all my emails in the Sent and Drafts folders (except for recent ones from December). Oddly enough both folders show data is in them, even though no emails appear. The Sent folder has 119 mb and the Drafts folder has 62 mb shown.

In the account settings for "Copies & Folder," I have "Place a copy in Sent folder" checked. The same goes for the Drafts checkbox. I do not see anything out of the ordinary. I have also run a repair on the folders, but that did not help.

So: How can I recover my emails from August to early November? How can I prevent the emails in my Sent and Draft folders from disappearing?

I am just a non-computer-literate old woman. I have tried to follow advice from the community forum. All that SMTP stuff is Greek to me. Since the last update to Thunderbird, I can't reach my daughter or my neighbour. One uses Hotmail and the other Yahoo. sometimes after about 4 days my neighbour will tell me he finally got a message.

Please change this. The only way I can reach them is to leave Thunderbird for webmail. It's a nuisance. Can someone please advise.
