On 28 August I received a blank email with just the sender and subject showing. Since then I have sporadically received completely blank emails, with no sender or subject, while others are arriving as normal. The same is happening when I open Thunderbird on my mobile, but not on my laptop which has an older version installed. It would seem that the issue is caused by update 153.1.1esr, as that was released on 28 Aug.

Can I revert to a previous version of Thunderbird or is there another way to fix this, thanks.

Installed Thunderbird in August 26. Successfully added Outlook and Gmail accounts (send and receive)

On a roll I then tried to migrate from Plusnet to Greenby. Can successfully receive emails via IMAP.plus.net server. But could not send mails from Greenby (other accounts still OK)

Traced problem via forum query 31???? to inability to create a new SMTP server for outbound mail. After entering all data in the outbound server there is no response whatsoever to clicking add button (ie no error messages or servers added to SMTP list)

Then tried to delete the partially active Greenby account via clicking delete button in account setting window. No response. Account still present.

Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this before I try the doomsday action of deleting and reinstalling Thunderbird.

TIA Phil

I have copied Thunderbird folder from C:users\maris\AppData\roaming on old PC. Had it working on the new PC, but it suffered an unrecoverable error during a windows update after only five days. Other reinstalled apps now running OK, but have been unable to replicate the successful installation from a few days ago. Found additional profiles in profiles.ini and deleted them. Made no difference!

I have been told by OZ lotteries that my emails are being soft bounced with the error "Email is not delivered because the mailbox is full or for other reasons". They suggested my email inbox is Full but that's not the case. Any suggestions as how I can fix this please?

Have recently upgraded to 156.0 and I find that the "Sent" folder in the Unified Folders shows the wrong folders. They are the same as the "Inbox" folder as you can see in the attached photo. What do I need to do to correct this?

One day after windows update, my thunderbird can't not download email from yahoo, microsoft, google..etc I tested the connection be fine but I can't recive any email

I updated to 155.0.1 via the update modal yesterday, on MacOS Tahoe, and it didn't restart as normal. The main message pane was blank with "No Message Found" (screenshot attached).

I tried installing a fresh 155.0 over, that did not work; but, a restore of the prior app from my Time Machine did work -- that is, the application not the user profile data.

I just thought this was strange; never ran into it.

If there is an issue and I can help test it usefully, I happy to do so (I have backups! LOL).

I’m trying to understand how Thunderbird handles links to online media when an email contains a link to a photo or video rather than a normal attachment.

For example, if an email contains a link to public Instagram media, I may open it in the browser and use a browser-based option such as Indown.mobi to work with the media. Is there any Thunderbird setting that affects how these external media links are opened or handled?

I’m mainly interested in understanding whether Thunderbird treats these differently from normal attachments and whether there is a recommended workflow for managing them.

HELP‼

Are there any •SERIOUS• “Thunderbird” savvy computer geeks in 155.0that could help me merge “old” user profile directories from *crashed* computer to a new computer without messing up either one?🙏

i used to do this stuff (with my eyes closed) but I no longer remember if I had breakfast today and they are my wife’s files! 🤬

I have new notebook computer plus the •entire• old computer data on a USB stick.

Hi Today, several emails that I have received, which I think were sent from an Outlook account, have, instead of what I would expect to see as the sender's address under correspondents, have Microsoft account team <account-security-noreply@accountprotection.microsoft.com> When I click on the email, I can see the genuine sender's address This has only happened today At least one of the emails that I received came from someone that I know uses Outlook Any ideas? Thanks

hello, i set up my microsoft 365 / outlook account in thunderbid using oauth2 and smtp (port 587, starttls). however outgoing emails fail to send. how can i resolve this smtp issue

I have moved my Thunderbird data from drive C:\xxx\Thunderbird to N:\xxx\Thunderbird. The Thunderbird program remains on "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird" How do I tell Thunderbird to find its data on the N: drive?

     Thank you,    Art Lieberman

I was attempting to move my thunderbird folders from one computer to a new one. I followed the instructions, copied the thunderbird app data and went to transfer it. However, two problems arose. First, it only held my incoming mail, not sent, drafts, anything else. Second and worse, those folders are now gone from my existing thunderbird on my current computer. How can I recover these and transfer them? I really need this info. I tried following the instructions from the troubleshooting menu, but that only showed me the folders which had transferred, not the ones that are missing.

I am a long-time user of Thunderbird. My PC is reinstalling Thunderbird. I am being asked for a password. I do not have one. There is no provision to reset my password. Please help.

I have a BT Internet email account configured in Thunderbird using IMAP.

I'm experiencing a problem where some emails in the message list have no Correspondent/sender or Subject, and sometimes the displayed time is incorrect.

For example, a message-list entry showed 12:55, but when I opened it, the actual email was from 8 September. The email body itself was present and correct.

My Inbox contains approximately 7,782 messages and took several days to synchronise. I also have numerous archive folders.

I have already:

Checked the BT IMAP settings — mail.btinternet.com, port 993, SSL/TLS. Allowed the entire Inbox to finish synchronising. Used Repair Folder on the Inbox. Restarted Thunderbird. Restarted Windows. Changed the message list from Cards View to Table View.

The problem persists.

Importantly, the same BT mailbox displays correctly in both the BT Mail app and iOS Mail.

I also experienced a very similar problem previously in New Outlook: some newly received BT emails appeared as [Unknown] with (No subject). Removing and re-adding the BT IMAP account and repairing/resetting New Outlook did not resolve it.

Thunderbird is therefore the second desktop IMAP client in which I've experienced this type of problem, while BT's own mail app and iOS Mail display the messages correctly.

I don't want to create a new Thunderbird profile because the existing profile contains thousands of emails and took several days to synchronise.

Could this be an IMAP synchronisation/message-header/indexing issue between Thunderbird and BT Mail?

I can provide screenshots and any Thunderbird diagnostic information you need.

Hello,

I recently received an email with a PNG attachment. The image rendered inline within the email, but when I moused over the image, my cursor switched to a zoom cursor and I was unable to right-click and get a context menu to save the image (right clicking simply zoomed/un-zoomed the image).

Changing the 'Display Attachments Inline' in the view menu did not appear to change anything (it still rendered inline), and to save the PNG I had to switch the rendering to plain text, and then grab the attachment from there.

Have other people seen this behavior?

I am not able to send emails the last couple days. Any ideas on how to fix this? My incoming mail works fine, but when I try to send and email, reply or forward, it will not send.

Thanks!
