Thunderbird — Fora społeczności

Hi I am at my wits end here - The date in my Thunderbird is behind by 1 hour. This is affecting sent messages and also received messages.

This just started today. For over a year, the time has been correct. I have not changed any settings in Thunderbird prior to this issue.

My Win11 computer shows the date and time correctly.

I had a Win11 update yesterday. Not sure if that has affected Thunderbird (My province - Manitoba Canada - also stopped using daylight time changes in the last couple of months.) We are now permanently CDT, and is UTC/GMT -5 - which is what it shows in my Win11 setting.

My timezone and time in Win11 settings shows correctly.

Just to see if it would make a difference - In Win11 settings->Time & Language - I changed the time zone automatic to off (even tho the time zone showed correctly) and set it manually to UTC-5:00 Manitoba, - I changed 'Set Time automatically' to off, set the time manually and synced the time.

No difference with Thunderbird.

Why is my time off in Thunderbird?, and what can I do or check to fix this?

My current ISP is ntlworld.com. Shortly I will be moving to outlook.com. I want to keep using TB but am not sure how to change the TB settings to switch to Outlook.

What settings do I need to change to do this, please?

Thank you,

I have my operating system, and Thunderbird, set to the America/Vancouver time zone. When Pacific Daylight Time fell back to Pacific Standard Time on 1 November 2026, changing from UTC-7 to UTC-8 hours, our time zone remained unchanged at UTC-7 hours.

Now I observe that the Date column of Thunderbird's Message List display shows the date and time of each message converted into UTC-8. But the message date as displayed in the right part of the header in the message pane is displayed in UTC-7.

For instance, a message with the header `Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2026 09:27:27 +0000` shows in the Date column as "01:27" (today, 4 Nov), but the message date in the right part of the message pane reads "02:27".

I cannot find a control or documentation which governs the time zone used by either the Date column or the message date in the right part of the message pane.

How can I set to time zone used in the Date column of the Message List to use the America/Vancouver (or UTC-7) time zone of my operating system and of the Thunderbird calendar?

I'm not sure at which point this behaviour started, it was either after thunderbird suggested that I compacted my folders or perhaps after the update to the latest Thunderbird version. Sometimes when I start Thunderbird I only get the inbox (which is empty) . Sometimes I get nothing then the inbox gets downloaded from my IMAP account. Sometimes I see all my folders for a few tenths of a second and I see message on the bottom border (where it normally talks of connection to the mail server) but these messages talk of deleting all my folders one by one. On one occasion all my folders were laboriously downloaded one by one (as reported on the bottom line.) Often shutting down Thunderbird and opening again results in all the folders being instantly available (so they must have been there all the time). It sometimes takes a number of shutdown/restart cycles to get the email folders back. Any ideas what is going on and how I can stop it happening? Thank you for getting this far.

First Netscape then Thunderbird, we've been using and recommending Thunderbird for a LONG time, gradually weening customers away from built in clients which become incompatible when hardware or O/S changes. Providing a POP mail service to our customers, Thunderbird has always been at the top of our recommended email client list. The portability of Thunderbird has been a godsend over the years. Especially with customers managing large number of email accounts. I hope the change doesn't result in us we looking for another email client once the new version is launched.

In thunderbird when I select Help/Troubleshooting information and than click Open Directory at Profile Directory nothing happens.

My father recently passed away, and both of us have been Thunderbird users for a very long time (Agent Forte before that). Can I move his Thunderbird profile so that it is incorporated into mine, with all his old emails? In my profile, I already have three different email accounts listed, with their own inbox and their own sent box. I would love his emails to be like that, so that I can download emails sent to his address from my profile, but they remain distinctly within that account? How do I do that? Thank you!

I have been using my phone a lot and so I've been getting my email on it. In the meantime however the items have been saved on the server. My computer hard drive crashed and when I have installed Thunderbird I find I have 26 thousand emails!! I would like to delete big hunks of it but how to go about it? Thanks.

I am still running Windows 10, but as of yesterday every time I open Thunderbird it resets my settings and spends hours re-downloading every email that I have. It constantly tells me that the connection to the server has failed and that all my passwords are wrong. Nothing is wrong with the server and none of my passwords are incorrect. After about 2 hrs, it completely re-downloads every email (I have multiple accounts) and I can continue to work like nothing was ever wrong in the first place. However, if I close out the program, it starts all over again. It randomly picks an email account and requires that I start from scratch and reset them up. Other times they are there like nothing happened. I have restarted my computer multiple times, it continues to do this.

Lately I have noticed that when I delete an email it Is not going into my trash folder. I am using version 159.0 (64-bit). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated also I am using an IMAP server

Перестали отправляться письма с почтового ящика gmail.com. Соединение с сервером исходящей почты не устанавливается. Разные порты и способы шифрования уже пробовал. помогите решить проблему. Спасибо.

Spam folder says there are 5 messages. When I open it by Spam up on the right it says 7 messages but in the body it says no message found. Are there messages somewhere and how do I access because they aren't showing.

Thunderbird will display older email, but will not retrieve new email. It puts up a message "downloading message 1 of 140". That second number continues to grow. It was 76, then 138, now 140. I cannot retrieve new email. That email address is [redacted] @att.net.

I suggest you reply to me at [redacted] @gmail.com.

I am using the correct password but it keeps saying " Login to server imap.comcast.net with username [redacted]@comcast.net failed.". I hope someone can help. Thanks.
