Thunderbird Community Forum

Over the past couple of days, I've discovered new mail in my inbox but the new mail icon (with the red dot) doesn't show in the system tray.

I get notifications of new mail, which is fine if I'm sitting at the computer. But the icon in my system tray doesn't change, so I never know if mail has arrived while I was away.

I've tried everything - both in Thunderbird settings and Windows system tray settings - and nothing is making a difference.

Is this happening to anyone else? Might it be a bug?

re: Thunderbird sent and draft folder updates slowly Hello, My sent Email folder does not get up dated for several minutes or longer (days?) after I send and email. Sometimes I get a error that the connections times out. I have no such problem with my K-9 Mail app on my Android phone. This leads me to believe that it is not an email server issue. Thoughts on resolving the issue? Thank you for your help. Cheers, Dave

meine abgespeicherten passwörter werden bei jedem neuen windows-update gelöscht. in firefox wie auch in thunderbird. ich muss dann beim senden sowie beim empfangen in thunderbird die passwörter für alle email-accounts neu eingeben und abspeichern. dann funktioniert es einwandfrei bis zum nächsten windows-update. das geht bereits seit c. 3 monaten so. davor wurden die passwörter bei den updates nie gelöscht. was ist passiert?

It has been some days that any email I reply via thunderbird is not saved/copied in the "sent" folder, although I checked both "sent" folder and “Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to”。

It was all OK before: my replies were in both "sent" folder and in the tree of inbox. However, now my reply only shows in inbox. The only way I find now to have my reply in the "sent" folder, is to uncheck the "Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to" option, but I want my reply in both folders as how it was before.

This is extremely annoying, as I can't know if the email has been correctly sent or not. How can this be fixed?

On my Windows 11 PC, when I open my Thunderbird Address Book and click on any entry, or right-click and select any option, a solid grey veneer overlays the Address Book window, and nothing else happens: The feature hangs. I can close the window and continue to use Thunderbird, but all I can do in the Address Book is scroll through the names and email addresses. When this first happened, I updated Thunderbird to release 159.0 (64-bit), but the same thing happens in that version. I've done web and forum searches and have not seen any other reports of this. Any ideas as to why this is happening to me, or how I might fix it? (I've attached a redacted screen image showing what I see.)

I use a number of add-ons that greatly enhance Thunderbird but they keep breaking as new updates are released:

Cardbook is a very useful address book add-on, integrating with my Google address book. However a few months ago it stopped working when a Thunderbird update was automatically installed (I think it was V158). The only way of overcoming this was to revert back to the ESR (Extended Support Release). That wasn't compatible with the database that had been modified by the latest release. Fortunately I had a back-up copy of the previous database which I had to recover.

A couple of months ago a new release stopped Cardbook working. By trial and error I discovered that Cardbook had been updated for compatibility with the latest Thunderbird release so I was able to restore normal operation by updating to Thunderbird V158.

Now Thunderbird has updated to V159 and Cardbook has stopped working again. If I open Cardbook it shows the address book completely empty. The Add-on Manager doesn't flag any compatibility issues. This is disasterous for me as I am totally dependent on using Cardbook.

Lightning Calendar Tabs is another useful add-on, giving access to my Google Calendar through a icon in the task bar. However that has also stopped working under V159. The Add-on Manager shows it as being incompatible with V159.

So why does Mozilla keep releasing updates that stop add-ons from working?. Can I revert back to V158 and stop further updates?

Ein freundliches Hallo an alle hier, wie kann ich einen kompletten Ordner mit einzelnen e-Mails in den Thinderbird auf meinem Rechner verschieben? Ich hatte einen Ordner in meinem Postfach angelegt und dahin eine bestimmte Gruppe von E-Mails automatisch abgelegt. Jetzt möchte ich den ganzen Ordner in Thunderbird verschieben, um diese Mails zu archivieren und gleichzeitig mein Postfach aufräumen und Platz schaffen. Vielen Dank für sachdienliche Hinweise. Gruß Wolfgang
