Thunderbird — Fora społeczności

Hi, I've been back to Thunderbird since May, and while I'm happy to be moving away from gmail.com I find the experience with thunderbird a little disjointed and frustrating.

And it would be fine if it was not also sluggish.

I have approx 100'000 emails in All mail, 15'000 mail in inbox,203 mail folders and 160 email rules each with about 3 sub-rules each.

When I get a 2 Factor message sometimes it only take 10 seconds, sometimes it takes minutes, sometimes it never appears until I press the "check mail" button, it's never clear what "check mail" even is doing, if anything at all.

My computer is a 16 core Ryzen 5950x with 64gb ddr4 and it is otherwise very fast and I don't have any crapware installed like "mcaffee anti virus" or whatever.

I can't tell but it feels like it is applying every rule to every email in "All Mail" every single time and I'm pretty sure that is why it is so slow.

However the interface is very obtuse about what it is doing, so I have a hard time finding what the problem is.

Now, I am not going to delete my messages and I am not going to have fewer rules. but I think the rules should only be applies to newly received messages and that should only take milliseconds. Also, it should be easy to tell, what it is doing and how much time that takes ?

This indicator, is mostly meaningless

And this window, really doesn't say that much about what it is scanning

If it were saying how many email and which folders it applied rules to

It would feel a lot less sluggish if I was able to see what it is doing and be to tell if it is doing something or just hanging, it is very frustrating to wait and not even be sure if anything is happening at all !

And I greatly suspect that my problem is that it is applying All rules to All mail, not just the new mail, and if that was fixed and the activity manager made more descriptive and responsive, it would not feel so slow and frustrating and I would know what to change to make it faster !

But right now, if I didn't have such distaste for google, I would just go back to gmail which never made me wait more than 2 seconds for anything.

Latest version of Windows 11 Thunderbird has stopped displaying the message body in the message pane ( right side of the screen) . I have another email client that displays the message body perfectly. It does display the message body of any messages save in a folder but will not display newly received messages in the pane. When I click on the message sometimes I get a white blank screen in the message body display pane. HELP!

I'm not sure what to categorize this as, but here goes...

I came in this morning and noticed that my Thunderbird screens are pixelated. The pixelation changes a bit as I move my mouse over the menus and comes/goes when looking in screens like the Filter Rules. The Filter Rules screen is much more heavily affected. I just ran the update to 154.0 and it is still like this. I am viewing it on a laptop screen, not my large external monitor. Firefox is displaying just fine as are other programs I am running.

T-Bird is Freezing (Hang?) from start to freeze was 5 minutes and a few seconds. Have turned off hardware acceleration and now it freezes at just under 5 minutes. Have put on updates. Currently 153.0.1esr (64-bit). I have captured profile, and re-installed and picked up the profile. Still freezes. Turned off AV. Still freezes. I have compressed and "repaired" all folders. Still Freezes. I forced folders to get rid of anything older than 30 days. Still freezes.

I have been running the task manager, and T-Bird in frozen state is only using 4.3% of CPU at most. I do not see any slowdowns for any other program. So this is not a CPU constrained problem. And it certainly is not memory constrained.

All this started within the past month and I think it was after I put on an ESR update (don't remember which one).

I can kill T-Bird and start it and it will get mail if any, and will function for about 5 minutes and then freezes (or hangs). The system is set to fetch mail on start up and then every 27 minutes. I am not using Account hub (and don't know what it does).

One oddity -- This is a W11 Home system, and Mozilla keeps saying it is a W10 system. Could this be the problem? Wife is running a lesser laptop. It is also running T-Bird, but her O/S is a W11 Pro and she is not having this problem.

I've been using TB for years. Lately I can be browsing the Inbox when the contents will disappear and I get a message saying something like no messages found. After about 30 seconds the Inbox is displayed again.

TB never used to do this and it is similar to Firefox refreshing the screen which it also never used to do this.

Also how do I get from the Beta version to the standard version?

Hello Folks, We are a team of 15ppl using thunderbird from last few year and it work flolessly in these years but from last 1week i have been facing a serious issue of : INCOMING EMAILS TAKING A LOT OF TIME TO OPEN AND READ, fresh email when received and after clicking it takes a lot of time of open, having a 100mpbs ILL speed, out of 15 / 12 ppl are facing same issue, even after repairing the inbox the issue remains same, mails are getting downloaded very slowly...we are using google imap server for the same, need help to resolve the same...is it the bug in the latest update 153.0.3 (64-bit) Meadow badge

Goodmorning! Since a couple of days, my TH takes ages to download new messages and when I send a message, it takes at least 20 minutes to show in my Sent folder. I downloaded a new TH but the problem remains the same. I have not changed a thing... What can this be? Its enough to make me change the application... I'm on a Macbook M4.

Been using Thunderbird for a number of years but recently the SSD on my laptop became corrupted and I had to buy a new one and install TB and restore my profiles from a backup.

I have two accounts and switch between them with Profile Manager.

The new laptop is an ASUS Vivobook with Win 11 Home and although TB runs ok the first time, if I close the current session and try to open the other account, nothing happens when I click on TB icon on the taskbar. IF I wait for around 5 minutes then it will run

Checked in Task Manager and cant see any instances of TB running, so any thoughts on what's wrong. Does not matter which order I open the accounts.

Why is Thunderbird email for PC and Android suddenly loading and syncing so slow this week...very frustrating. I have a gmail email...gmail site is fine. I've compacted all folder, etc and IMAP server server setting for years.

Hello Folks,

We are a team of around 15 users who have been using Mozilla Thunderbird with Google IMAP for the last few years. Until recently, Thunderbird has been working reliably without any major issues.

However, for approximately the last one week, we have been facing a serious performance issue with incoming emails. Around 12 out of 15 users are experiencing the same problem.

The main issues we are facing are:

Newly received emails take a very long time to download. After clicking on a newly received email, it takes a considerable amount of time to open and display the content. Emails appear to be downloading extremely slowly, even though our internet connection is a 100 Mbps ILL (Internet Leased Line). The issue is affecting multiple users simultaneously, so it does not appear to be limited to a particular user's Thunderbird profile or PC. We have already tried Repair Folder / Repair Inbox, but the issue persists. We are using Google's IMAP servers for our email accounts.

We are currently using Mozilla Thunderbird 153.0.3 (64-bit) – Meadow Badge.

Could this be a known issue or bug in the latest Thunderbird 153.0.3 update, particularly with Google IMAP?

We would appreciate any guidance from the Thunderbird community/support team on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. If there are any recommended settings, logs, diagnostics, or Thunderbird configuration changes that we should check, please let us know.

Since this issue is affecting 12 out of 15 users, it is becoming a significant operational problem for our team.

Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

I've done EVERYTHING.

New install of latest version. edited profile to point to saved data on USB external drive DELETED every instance of lock files terminated task numerous times. rebooted 3 times...

What now???

Thunderbird running 70-80% CPU with status bar showing. Once status bar is removed this drops. Have noticed some bug reports mentioned Linux but I'm on Windows 10 ESU (up to date). Updated TB to 153.0.3esr but no improvement. Tried troubleshoot mode but no improvement. Also noticed that emails aren't getting moved to the deleted folder from inbox. Checked today and none had been moved for 3 days. I deleted some of the older ones from 'Deleted' and then it did update.

When I write and send a message. A window comes up saying copying message to sent folder and then it won't close. i.e. it just stays there. When I open up thunderbird again it says the message has been sent but I still can't close the window that says copying message to sent folder.

Thunderbird had been working great for both of us until after my wife stopped checking her emails for a couple of months. When she later opened the program her inbox started downloading hundreds of emails (very slowly) until her inbox contained well over a thousand. I started to delete the unwanted ones but it went very very slowly. I finally whittled it down to a few hundred but the program continues to run very slowly in all phases. In one instance, it took 11 minutes to delete 39 messages. Downloading and sending are not much different. I've done virus scans, checked settings, restarted the computer etc., all to no avail. And when we switch users, my Thunderbird email runs perfectly. I also contacted my internet provider (Spectrum) but they said it had to be a program issue. How can I restore my wife's email to normal function? Thanks, Joe S.

Hello,

Every now and then Thunderbird pops up the notification in the screenshot. Can anyone tell me what it means and if I should do anything about it?

hi :-)

My Thunderbird uses between 19 and 34 GB of RAM. It's cyclical (with a period of about 10 minutes).

What do you suggest?

Do I need to perform a performance diagnostic? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiling-thunderbird-performance

Do I need to follow all the steps listed on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Testing:Memory_Usage_Problems#Diagnosis_Steps, or can I skip some of them?

I am using Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.3 and Thunderbird POP3 email. I have 10 email accounts.

What I have noticed is the Thunderbird 128 series startup email check and/or "get all messages" is quite slow compared to previous versions.

Thunderbird 102.15.1 took only 4 seconds to check 10 email accounts, Thunderbird 115.18.0 took 5 seconds, but Thunderbird 128 and 136 series takes 15 seconds. All of these have used the same user profiles.

There is no antivirus software active. All messages are deleted from all accounts. No messages to download and checking for messages is still slow.

I have tried the Betterbird 128 series, a fork of Thunderbird, and it too behaves the same. Betterbird 115 series work fine, just like the Thunderbird 115 series.

Is this slowness in the 128 and 136 series by design?
