Prelude:

1. I have several email addresses in Thunderbird.

ISSUE:

1. One address, the first on the list, Draft folder shows "1"
2. View email Shows "No message found"

QUESTION: I like to keep a tidy Thunderbird - how might I fix this issue?

Thanks for the read, ~r BTW - this seems to be the last of the gremlins since my migrating - - Thunderbird - - Yea! :)

I have 13 email accounts in Thunderbird. Most of the emails work flawlessly. However, in some accounts , before I read them, the original emails are "automatically" duplicated in other folders (for instance, "important", and or "save" folders). After reading the emails in my inbox, I have to open each folder where the duplicates are and wait for the emails to disappear "automatically". It's a pain b/c the folders are hi-lighted and therefore I can't tell if I received a new email in my inbox or is it an old one I just forgot to delete in another folder. How can I stop this from happening?

Steps:

1. Email received in inbox; inbox high-lighted in blue 2. Open inbox in order to see emails, some folders (on the right-hand side) are also high-lighted in blue. The contain duplicates of emails in the inbox. 3. Deal with emails in inbox (open, read, keep, file, delete) 4. Some folders are still high-lighted in blue ( for instance, in uploaded image "all mail" and important") 5. Open high-lighted folders which deletes folders that were deleted in the inbox or if not deleted in the inbox, emails remain in the folder but the boldness turns off and the folder is no longer highlighted in blue. How do I stop the original emails from duplicating to other folders?

After the latest update to the program I noticed that a previous folder is missing along with its saved emails. That folder still exists along with saved messages on the ISP server. This has happened previously and then re-appeared some months later, perhaps with an application update. The rest of my folders display properly along with their saved emails.

As of recently I can not use the "Empty Spam" or "Empty Trash" options I have to literally select all items in the trash it junk/spam folder and hit the trash button.

Any suggestions?

Running release 21.0

Thunderbird 153 in Linux Mint 22.1 XFCE.

I use Waterfox installed via flatpak as my default browser. Unfortunately Thunderbird's Oauth2 verification pages don't open correctly in that browser, due to some of the browser add-ons I have installed in Waterfox.

I also have Firefox and Chromium installed. I want Thunderbird to always ask which browser to use before it opens a link. I followed instructions I found in multiple places on the internet:

• Open config editor
• Set network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http and network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https to true
• Restart Thunderbird
• Click a https (or http) link in an email: Waterfox opens
• Settings-General-Files & Attachments: There is now an Action dropdown for https (or http) with options 'Always ask', 'Use Web Browser (default)', 'Use other...' and 'Delete Action'. The current selection is 'Use Web Browser (default).
• Change Action to 'Always ask'
• Restart Thunderbird
• Click a https (or http) link in an email: Waterfox opens again, even though 'Always ask' is still the selected action.
• Restart Thunderbird.
• Settings-General-Files&Attachments: The https (or http) action has now changed back to 'Use Web Browser (default)'

How do I get Thunderbird 153 to ask which browser to open for a web link?

For whatever reason, although I've had this account for years and regularly contribute I always get this page at startup begging me for more money and even if I donate, I can't get past the begging page.

I am now locked out of the account. No login info works and I'm unable to access years of emails

I have not changed my password since I opened the account and frankly I am as aggravated and pissed off as can be. I can't get to do anything at all but read the page begging me for money even after I just made another contribution and although I haven't changed any login info I keep getting the login failed message

i used to have several folders, all mail, sent mail, drafts etc as subfolders under [gmail] but they have disappeared in my acwentz5@gmail.com account. i have another separate account acwentz@gmail.com and those folders are still there. also, on my iphone, both accounts have those folders. so, where are those folders on my desktop acwentz5@gmail.com account???

If you are using the release level of 153, and prefer not to see the Thundermail menu entry, do these two things:

Add this statement to the userControl.css file: /* ##### Stop display of Thundermail menu item. */ @media not -moz-pref("mail.accounthub.thundermail.enabled") {

 #tbpro-menu-id-root { 
   display: none; 
 } 

}

Set this entry in Config Editor to FALSE: mail.accounthub.thundermail.enabled

My old laptop died, and just reinstalled TB on new laptop. I have the SSD with old profile, and added profile to the new Profiles folder. Thought it would be as simple as editing the Profile.ini to specify the old profile, but that hasn't worked. Need help.

When I click an email open, More than HALF the screen is taken up by a fixed Header. This leaves only 2" high to read the email. Can I change this and get a page to read the mail? I do not half a page to see date and time etc. an no space to read the mail. Its terrible!

Each time I open TBird, I get a message at the bottom left of the screen telling me that TBird has deleted X number of messages. I do not want TBird to ever delete any messages. How do I turn this automatic delete function off?

When I trash an email, I can no longer view the attachments in the trash file, though the email itself remains until the setting for trash deletion has been reached. Since I have a gmail email address I can still view the attachments via the website for gmail. Does the attachment disappear on Thunderbird because of a setting - or is this a "feature" of Thunderbird?
