I have created an email account-- *Email hidden for privacy*@outlook.com -- I can receive email in it when using outlook but not when using Thunderbird. Any suggestions as to how to fix this problem?

Hi,

first problem:

I need to find a way how I can export my emails from the inbox from Thunderbird to the inbox of t-online Unfortunatly I used a pop3 in thunderbird, so that after 14 days all the old t-online emails were deleted from the t-online server. But fortunately they still exist in Thunderbird.

second problem:

By transfering Emails from one computer to another via Wifi, the send messages file of my t-online account was not transfered to thunderbird. Is there a way how I can transfer the send messages from t-online to Thunderbird?

Thanks for the support

Guido

I selected "send later" for a specific email. I now need to edit it before sending but cannot find it. I see now "outbox." Where is this message stored until sent? Attached PNG shows my folder hierarchey.

After I send an e-mail, the sent message is not copied to the sent folder. I have an IMAP account. What can I do? This is displayed: "The message was sent, but no copy was saved in the Sent folder because there were problems accessing the network or files."

Thunderbird update resulted in all earthlink.net emails before January 20 gone. All Local folders with important saved messages are gone. I did not ask for any emails or any folders to be deleted and I need them back. How do I get my emails, and especially the Local folders back. Please reply asap. Kevin J.

Hi Folks,

I hope you can help me with my little problem.

Thunderbird was damaged during the migration to the new Mac, so I installed a new version of Thunderbird on the new Mac and now want to get the emails from my old Mac into the new Thunderbird. I think I know where the files for the new Thunderbird are: /Users//Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxxxxxx.default-release/imapMail/map.xxx.net, so is it as easy as replacing those files with the files in the equivalent folder on the old Mac?

Alternatively, I just discovered this function within Thunderbird itself: "Import Settings and Data from a Thunderbird Profile." Might this be useful, and if so, how would I go about it?

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Cheers! Chris

I have tried all the resetting of passwords and each item in the account settings ( I think I have). Each time when I test it says that the incoming server was found. Nothing about the outgoing server. I'm using Windows 11 and I think the latest Thunderbird version. I really need help to get past this. Further, when I attempt to send with "Control - Enter " keys, The error message uses the wrong server name.

With both the old and now new laptop, cannot get my mail from the messaging Co, but can from their weblink. Ongoing correspondence has given me the in and outgoing servers, all to no avail. This has been going on for over a year. Ingoing port 993. Outgoing 465 Very occasionally I get some mail come in, strangely enough. All outgoing comes back as "timed out" Any clues please. John

The following is a simplified representation of my Thunderbird (128.6.0esr (64-bit)) setup for controlling emails in my gmail account. Each account contains many emails and my plan was to transfer many of them to "Local Folders"

Local Folders (on external USB with over 16TB free space)

  Drafts        
  Junk               (empty)
  Trash
  Outbox           (empty)
  All Mail
     > Companies

... ...

     > ZEBRA-2
     Spam	  

abcxxx@gmail.com (on PC with limited free space)

  Inbox	  
     > Acquisitions

... ...

     > ZEBRA-1
     Drafts
     Sent Mail
     All Mail
     Spam
     Trash
     Important
     Starred 	  

I created filters for "Local Folders" and another set of filters for "abcxxx@gmail.com". These filters indeed send emails to the proper location. However, "All Mail" recovers the emails that are transfered and thus is unchanged (after some delay for the recovery process).

How can I setup Thunderbird such that the emails that are successfully filtered to the different accounts will be deleted from their "All Mail" folders?

I couldn't find this in any forum (other than some very old threads that are no longer applicable or relevant), and I couldn't find an extension/add-on that does that either (or rather, I did find one, but it's discontinued and not compatible with current Thunderbird), but I want to store only the plain-text part of multipart messages (text + HTML) that I receive, deleting the HTML part.

The reason for this is that I need to save disk space. I'm a digital hoarder, and I archive every relevant email message I receive (I only don't store spam that escapes through the cracks and reaches me, and such disposable messages as 2FA login codes and the like). I have several sound reasons to do that, but old messages have been useful to me as reference countless times. I have about 86,000 emails stored, sorted into a variety of message folders by topic, correspondent, etc. Some date as far back as 1996, having survived lots of account, email client, and hardware migrations through diligent backups and restores.

This results in a very large disk usage, and I must minimize it, for both space itself and backup time reasons. And the difference in size can be dramatic. Just one newsletter that I'm subscribed to sends me 3-4 messages a day, of which I'll probably keep two, but each full message is about 120–150 kB. Stripped of the HTML (and still totally readable and functional), that drops to just 10–12 kB. Now multiply that difference by the volume in one year.

I'm testing and evaluating Thunderbird to replace my current email client, which is excellent and designed for power users, but also very buggy, they're slow to fix the bugs, and this is getting on my nerves. That's why I'm looking for an alternative, and so far, Thunderbird is doing an excellent job in ticking off the list of features I need (and passed my message import tests from the old mailer with flying colors), except for this one feature, which can be a dealbreaker.

Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance.

Messages from some of the folders in Local Folders disappeared for no reason at all. The folder file and the .msf file though are not empty and if you edit them with a text editor you can see the messages. Also in the folder properties although the number of messages is 0 the folder size in not empty. Any ideas?

Hi, How do I set up my email n Thunderbird ? I tried what I saw on the forum but still not accepting or sending emails

My email was working on outlook live now that won’t work either.

Before that I was using which was the best! Windows mail live 2012 that will work get emails but won’t send ?

Hate using spectrum webmail so any ideas would be much appreciated.

My settings to send and receive were :

Pop-server.wi.rr.com 110 port

SMTP-server.wi.rr.com 25 port

Tried this to didnt work says can’t find server

Mobile.charter.net for both 995 and 587 for sockets is what’s found when I try to do set up but sad can’t connect?

I am receiving the following error message on a Win 11 desktop running Thunderbird 128.6.0.esr (64 bit): "The folder '[Gmail]/Trash on my.fr33.email@gmail.com' could not be compacted because writing to the folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again." I do not have a folder [Gmail]/Trash on the gmail server. I also do not get this error on other Thunderbird clients running Win 10 or Win 11. I also do NOT get the error when I manually compact the my.fr33.email account, either at the account level or at the Gmail folder level. Once I acknowledge the error the system seems to run normally until is wants to automatically compact folders. Any suggestions will be appreciated. -- John Randle Knoxville, TN

Hi, I don't remember exactly from which release it started, but for a couple of months, quick filtering has not been working properly. For example, when typing the sender's name, the results show emails from other senders, and the sought name can be found in the 'Copy' field or in the message text. However, quick filtering works as before, fully correctly in Troubleshooting mode 😳 Attached screenshots with quick filtering results shown when opening TB in 'Normal' and in Troubleshooting mode.

Hi, I accidently set the email size in the Config editor layout.css.devPixelsPerPix to 125 (instead of 1.25), which results in the program no longer being able to be viewed as it takes up the entire screen.

How can I undo this please, since the reset option is not viewable due to the immense size now.

The tutorial video I followed is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klIOX4dsXU4

I appreciate your knowledge, please in simple steps :-)

Thank you, Jana

Many times when I am forwarding emails or copying and pasting text from an outside source, the spell check will choose a word like "isn't" and highlight "isn" as a misspelled word. This has happened with a number of different contractions.

Additionally, it will pick parts of an abbreviated name in someone's email address in the To: field as a mistake. I do not have the time or desire to constantly, go through a long email and choose 'add to dictionary' or click ignore. Why is it even looking at parts of a contraction, and it should be ignoring the To field altogether.

Is there something wrong with my version or is this how it operates? My TBird is up-to-date: 128.5.2esr (64-bit).

Hallo, nice to contact you; today, suddenly I'm suffering the following problem using Thunderbird 137.0.2: reading the e-mail in my incoming mail or sent mail, it is not possible to open attachments, save them etc. no message or advice; if I try to open the attachment of my old mail stored in local folder, everything works, and also if I open the attachment of my incoming or sent mail with another mail client or using web mail. I deletet my account including data, and reinstall Thunderbird and reconfigure it with no results. Many thanks for any help.

TB 128.5.2esr (64-bit) on Windows 11, using unified layout.

Not sure if I did something last year (and previous years presumably) to set this up, but TB has always archived incoming messages in a folder under the account, in a subfolder whose name is the year. For example, see the attached screenshot.

I was expecting that when Jan 1st came long, TB would do the same, but store them in a 2025 folder. However, it hasn't, and I'm not sure where this year's archived messages are. As you can see, there isn't a 2025 folder. If I click on the main Archives node, I can see the messages, but I'm not sure where they are. If I go to the account settings and look in the "Copies & folders" section, there is an "Archive options..." button. Clicking that pops up a window that has three radio buttons, the selected one being "Yearly archived folders" so I would have expected this to work.

Anyone able to explain how I get it to store archived messages in a 2025 folder under the account in Archives?

Thanks
