How do I configure the new "Local Folders" archive set just created - so they'll be displayed and searchable in the Email folder view?

Thunderbird v128.9.0esr (64-bit) on Linux Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS

I have archived emails on my IMAP server for some time.

Now to avoid a full quota on the server I have reconfigured the Archive to "Local Folders" and changed the configuration to yyyy/yyyy-mm.

After archiving "fresh" emails and re-archiving from the IMAP server archive folder

I can see the respective sequences of folders under the menu

• Account Settings
• email@account.com
• Copies & Folders
• Archives on Local Folder

and within the file selector menu

• Archives on Local Folders
• Local Folders
• Archives
• 2023
• 2023-01
• 2023-02
• etc

The result in the email account folder shows the old "Archive" folder - but now emptied - alongside new (unarchived) emails.

On interrogating the Archive folder properties the location reported is the (previous) IMAP address.

So how do I:

1. identify the location of the newly created "Local Folders" archive set, and
2. make the Archive folder set display and be searchable in the Email folder view?

2 questions 1- when we move some email folder to local folder does it reduce the amount of running data for the app. 2- I have move a folder to local folder and it seems I have lost all of them may be because I already had a folder with that same name in there

We have been having problems loading and filing emails lately. I know that we have new messages, but the email icon on the inbox is greyed out and we are getting an message saying 'no new messages', see below.

I open the calendar "Algemeen" on my Windows 11 installation and see this message:

All calendars are currently disable. Enable an existing calendar or add a new one to create and edit events.

How do I enable a calendar? If I click the three dots next to the calendar "Algemeen" or right click "Algemeen" I and select properties I see it is enabled:

Using Thunderbird desktop for Windows with my Hotmail account, I frequently cannot send an outgoing email. I regularly get the following message even while successfully receiving incoming messages.

Send Message Error Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: Cannot connect to SMTP server 2603:1036:308:2817::2 (2603:1036:308:2817::2:587), connect error 10060.

I use Thunderbird for Android with the same email account without any issues. Any thoughts?

I have no idea why, but TB is wonking out lately with strange errors?

The folder '[Gmail]/Sent Mail on me@mydomain.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

I have a ton of space and have not changed anything on the PC?

Any ideas?

I am not receiving emails from my laptop, but i do on my iphone and ipad. I have had to change my password with Telstra so do I have to change my password and if so how do i do it?

Auto configure does not auto configure. can get texts at [edited phone# from community support forum]

I believe incoming mail is POP3 and Outgoing is IMAP on Spectrum server in Utica NY

Or it was before Thunderbird did this update.

I recently moved to another email provider. Since the move I use a new email address (account). The mail in the previous used imap account must be saved. Since the old server at the provider has been blocked. A lot of emails have to saved for some years. Do you have a suggestion how to save the mail? Thanks, Paul

Been using and loving Thunderbird for over 10 years - now on 115.18.0 (32-bit) with 8 different email addresses, all on 'ionos.co.uk'. My AV is Norton and seemed to 'upgrade' to 'Norton for Gamers' 2 days ago. Since then attempts to read messages get a pop-up window titled 'Add Security Exception' with text 'You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site. Legitimate banks, stores will not ask you to do this. ' It gives location as 'imap.ionos.co,uk;993' then a line says 'This site attempts to identifiy itself with invalid information'. Clicking button marked View shows details that include 'Organisation: Norton Web/Mail Shield' hence my suspicion. I've had a lengthy call with Ionos support, very patient and helpful, checking things at their end, concluding nothing of theirs has changed and all is working correctly. I tried one of the addresses using their webmail, which worked perfectly. About the same time that this happened, I started getting pop-up messages from Norton when I started software programs that I wrote myself some years ago. That's never happened before! Tried reading Norton help pages but cannot get hold of a human. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I ditch Norton? Many thanks!

After updating to 137, trying to send emails times out for my GMX email, however for Gmail it still works fine (I attached the console output in safe mode). I am not using a firewall or a proxy and the problems persists in troubleshoot-mode. I am using Manjaro with Kernel version 5.10.234-2.

I accidentally dropped my "Bulk" folder in the "Trash" folder. When I tried to remove the folder, it refused to move!

1. I tried ctrl + Z to undo the last action - failed
2. I tried dragging and dropping - failed
3. I tried right-clicking and choosing move - no such option - failed

I tried closing the program, reopening, and repeating steps 1-3 - failed I tried rebooting the computer and repeated steps 1-3 - failed

How can I move the folder back?

I have 7 folders in my Thunderbird (128.9.2esr (64-bit)) "Favorite Folders". The last folder keeps disappearing. When I right click on that folder in the "All Folders" tree, the favorite folder is checked. If I uncheck it and recheck it, it then shows up in "Favorite Folders" again. It disappears at least once each day. Any ideas as to why this might be happening?

Before the last Firefox update, I was able to view jpeg attachments in emails (before and after sending) in Windows phot viewer - now I can't!!?? The options it offers to view are weird - adobe, media viewer etc - rather than before where it was Paint, Picture viewer etc? - and in settings, the ascribing options are the same, and I can't find any other on offer? How can I ascribe something like Windows picture viewer to attachments? (I have managed to get t to accept Photoshop - but that is a slow-opener) Mike
