I have been shifting my email platform from Comcast to the new Yahoo platform. This has worked for my iPhone and for my Thunderbird app on my iMac. But NOTHING works for this on my MacBook Air. My gmail is fine, but the only way I can get to my new Yahoo platform is to sign in via the web browser. Thunderbird will not configure for the MacBook Air, and I've tried 10-15 different things already (not an expert by any means). I have all the proper settings. I have reinstalled Thunderbird on the latter machine.

I can see that there has been a reply or a messages was forwarded and when I right click for the menu "Open" may not even appear at times. When it does appear "Open in Conversation" is not always presented as an option even though there has clearly been conversation as I can locate reply's in the Sent folder. Sometimes it's there but when selected it opens a tab that only shows the email and none of the conversations. It's hit and miss and I can find no rhyme or reason. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, I would love to Testflight Thunderbird on Apple. Thanks, Sue

Hello,

I would like to report what appears to be a bug in Thunderbird for Android.

I use a POP3 account with the following settings:

POP3 Port 995 SSL/TLS

The same account works correctly in Thunderbird for Windows.

The problem only occurs in Thunderbird for Android.

What happens:

New emails arrive and are initially displayed in Thunderbird for Android. After the next synchronization, some messages disappear from the Inbox. The messages are not deleted from the server because they are still visible in Thunderbird for Windows. I also tested the same POP3 account in Samsung Email on the same Android phone. Samsung Email continues to show the messages correctly while Thunderbird for Android no longer shows them.

Troubleshooting already performed:

Reinstalled Thunderbird for Android. Removed and added the account again. Tested on both my Android phone and Android tablet. The same problem occurs on both devices.

Is this a known issue with POP3 accounts, or is there another setting I should check?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards, Diana

I am using a Samsung S22 android and Thunderbird 20.1. My email server is Xfinity (comcast.net) and set on imap: smtp.comcast.net; SSL/TLS; port 465; auth: normal password

When outgoing emails are somewhat large, or sometimes for no reason at all, the outgoing emails get stuck in the OUTBOX. No amount of clicking on "Send messages" works, nor does sending them to DRAFTS and re-sending them. They again get stuck in the outbox. I have changed the port #s to no avail. My desktop Thunderbird HAS NO OUTBOX !! Why is that? Consequently, no emails get stuck, no matter how large or small. I've tried everything and searched everywhere.... no help.

Hello all,

Apologies if this is going over old ground. I've tried the usual Repair Folder fix without success and I'm cautious about trying anything further without some expert input for fear of doing more damage.

Thunderbird version: 140.12.1esr (64-bit) Windows version: 11 Server type: POP, messages not left on server Inbox " Folder properties" reports: 16384 messages. 13.8GB on disk

The Entire contents of Inbox disappeared after the following sequence of actions: 1. Tagging a selection of messages (in Inbox). 2. Making only those tagged messages visible (using Quick Filter). 3. Selecting all of the visible messages (select first, shift-select last). 4. Deleting the selected messages (Del key) The intended messages were successfully moved to the Deleted folder.

The Inbox now appeared empty. At this point only tagged messages were set to be visible but these had been deleted so an empty Inbox pane seemed correct. Resetting the tags visibility of Quick Filter did not make the messages reappear.

The messages are however visible and openable when doing either a straight folder search or when using a search folder. Inbox Folder Properties reports that the messages are still present and the reported size on disk seems appropriate for the number of messages.

Messages in all of the other folders are visible.

At this point I did a complete Export of the profile. When I discovered that Windows would not recognise the resulting .zip file I also did a straight copy of the Inbox file within the profile folder to a safe location (I understand that the export .zip file is intended for re-import to Thunderbird and that Windows might not recognise it).

I then did a Repair Folder (within Folder Properties dialogue). This made no difference although the size of the Inbox.msf file reduced dramatically (I didn't make a note of the before and after sizes).

I then quit and restarted Thunderbird several times. This at first made no difference. After perhaps 3 or 4 restarts however a relatively small number of files have reappeared in Inbox (a tiny percentage of the correct total). Curiously, most of these (but not all) are marked as spam. Ordinarily I would delete all messages marked as spam but there are probably some that I have missed. It looks rather as if the files which are now visible in Inbox are ALL of the spam messages plus a handful of others. Of the 172 messages which are now visible they were initially correctly reported in the folder pane as being 172 unread messages.

Another strange thing is that when selecting the Inbox on the folder pane, the small number of messages which become visible only appear after a delay of perhaps 10 seconds (previously this was instantaneous). When selecting any other folder, the messages are displayed instantly.

I'm not quite sure what best to do next. I haven't yet tried deleting the Inbox.msf file. Any wisdom will be gratefully received.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Just checking when ThunderMail and Pro will be available? I'm in need of email services for my small business and just don't want to subscribe to Google. I love Thunderbird, glad it survived so many transformations over decades and would like my subscription contribute to further development.

Can you, please provide me with at least estimated timeline?

Thank you S
