The last couple of days emails from one particular adress (mail send from or generated in our membershipsystem) have started to disapear from my inbox.

I'm not aware that any updates have been done since when it worked.

The mail shows in the inbox for maybe 5-10 sec and then puff without me doing anything or if I click away from inbox and back it's gone

I have checked my spam, the trash and my filters and I have done a search. Even ended up deleting my filters, to be sure.

I have made sure the email adress is not on any spam list. I even tried to make a filter where it would copy the mail to another folder to see if it would stay there (it didn't get copied).

The mail is also gone when I check directly on the webmail with my mail provider.

On my thunderbird I have three different email accounts from the same email provider. I tried sending the same mail to two of my accounts at the same time form this particular emailadress (I can acces the membershipsystem and send / generate mails from there). The mail was recieved and stayed on one account but not the other.

I'm running out of things to try - please help me.

I just recently downloaded Thunderbird after using Mac Mail for years. Mail suddenly refused to display messages and no one on the Apple forum could figure out why. So I was advised to download Thunderbird. So far, I'm not a fan. Here are my issues: 1. Unread messages in the Inbox are in bold. But the bold is so close to the normal font that I can't tell them apart. Is there another, better way to mark unread messages? A tick/check mark? A coloured background? 2. Messages are automatically organised into conversations. But when the latest message comes in, the inbox message doesn't go bold. So there is no way of knowing where to find it. I have to go through all messages that have a conversation (more than one message in the inbox) and find one where the latest message is in bold at the bottom. It's a royal pain. I see the number next to the account on the left, but nothing is in bold on the right. Grrr. 3. The conversations are the wrong way up. I want the most recent message at the top, not the bottom. I would actually prefer not to have them in conversations at all, just the most recent message, but I realise that is probably asking too much. 4. There is no number next to the Thunderbird icon on my desktop when I get a message. I used to appreciate this in Mail. It told me if it was worth going to my inbox. With Thunderbird I have to open the program to find out. Ok, that's enough for now. I'd better not get started on the shortcomings of the search function, or how to bring the unread messages to the top of the inbox list... There are just too many issues to address is one posting. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hello There all So I recently installed Win11 and Tbird 115.7.0

My issue is this: When I double click a PDF in a received email it opens up in my default PDF reader (Foxit) so it's all good. When I'm composing an email and add a PDF I like to check to see that I'm sending the correct PDF attachment so I double click and it won't open, I get this message (Attached Image) I went to Tools/Settings/General/Files&Attachments and PDF (Foxit) is set as the default so all good

So again Inbox messages opens PDF's no problem Composing messages won't open PDF's

I used to do this all the time on Win10 and it worked perfectly See my settings in image 2 Thanks In Advance :-)

As of yesterday after 9 pm I have not seen any new email in Thunderbird (115.7.0 (64-bit)). I can see new email in my service provider's (Shaw) webmail service. I downloaded Mailspring and they download to that program. I had a look at Microsoft Mail, which has all of my mail accounts (3 gmail + shaw) and bizarrely, in Mail I can see that the new email are there in my Shaw account.... but are not visible in Thunderbird.

Any suggestions? Uninstall & reinstall?

I have been working fine with Thunderbird, but today it won't start up. It asks my master password, but then it doesn't show the screen with my email accounts / emails.. In task manager I have two lines with Thunderbird, but no activity. I tried to re install (without uninstall as I don't want to lose my emails), but that didn't change anything. Not sure what I can do.

Thunderbird 115.8.1 64bit (I do not know when the last update happened) on Windows 10 64 bit After migrating to Thunderbird from another mailprogram, I have been receiving emails with pictures displayed in them for about a year without problem. Suddenly 2 days ago no more pictures are shown within the emails. Only links. I have not changed any configs. Is that a feature which has come via update? I have activated that external content is allowed in mails. Any idea why TB suddenly behaves like that and what I can do?

when clicking an email link this is shown

"Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To use Thunderbird, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, restart your device, or use a different profile."

How do I make Thunderbird instead open a new email?

This is on Fedora

I wish to try K-9 Mail on my Android - eventually I want Thunderbird. When I start K-9 it offers me "IMPORT SETTINGS" and then says CHOOSE FILE. What file(s) do I need to bring over from my Thunderbird profile to get 1. the address book(s) and 2. the email account data?

I am going to be setting up a new email address provided by a new ISP, and would like to migrate the email from the soon to be shutdown current email account to the new one. Is it as simple as changing the account settings of the current account to the new one or is it more involved than that? If so, can I migrate the existing email to the new account without any ties to the old email account remaining? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I'm trying to install Thunderbird to access Spectrum webmail with my computer running Windows 11. I have this on 3 other computers running Windows 10 with no problem. Things I've tried: Using both webmail.spectrum.net and mail.twc.com for both incoming and outgoing servers (both work on my other computers). Setting up for both IMAP and POP3.

Dear reciever. After years of using TB and what we do think is a productive mail-tool that works for the benefits we are looking for has worked. However, the last 115- constantly freezing and shuts down. This is very annoying. It freezes at some folders from the main email-client- as we have deleted older folders integrated with this. But the problems remains. . We have done everything in our knowledge of the program but still no approvement. . At this point we are using Outlook..would be grateful to have some answers and possible sollutions for this issue. . Thanks in advance and keep up the great work U are doing. :-)

Hello, having problems importing an USA calendar from Thunderbird site. Just need a basic one with federal holidays but probably hundreds listed. And the 'select all' and 'deselect all' not properly working as well as issues with filters. And do we really need Confederate holidays?

When creating new account Thunderbird hangs on "Checking password..." When I click on "Configure manually" and then click on "Done", I get the message "Incoming server already exists". But, the account is not in "Account Settings". Additionally, it is not in "Outgoing Server". I had this email account before and removed it. Please help.

I have had so much trouble with version 115 and looked online for answers. People recommended downgrading to 102, so I downloaded and re-installed that version, after deleting the file that was recommended from the Thunderbird folder (now I can't find the name of it!).

When I installed 102, it gave me the profile error message. I started to create a new profile and realized that will take me hours probably - I have multiple folders and email addresses in TB. So I decided to reinstall 115, and now it looks like there is no data at all. Help!

I'm using Windows 8.

Thanks

I have been using Thunderbird with multiple POP accounts for about 15 years with few problems.

Since upgrading to the latest version, with was about a week ago, emails are downloaded again and again, for as long as they remain on the server, which is for most accounts 7 days.

I can see the emails are marked as read on the server (my host is X-10 Infinity and been using them for 4 years), but every time Thunderbird connects to the server, it downloads all the messages again.

My mailboxes are filling up with duplicate messages, sometimes 10+ copies of each one. I haven't changed any settings on the server or in Thunderbird, so not sure what is causing this.

If I click to Get Messages manually, Thunderbird only downloads 1 or 2 messages, if anything. But for some reason when the scheduled connect runs (for example: every 30 minutes) it seems to pull down all messages in the POP mailbox again and again.

Is there anything I can set or change to fix this please, or is this a bug you are working on?

I really don't want to change so I download messages from the server and delete them immediately rather than in 7 days as this allows me to have a backup in case my computer needs to have a re-install.

Thanks for any help. I'm sure I'm not alone with this problem.

Edge is stealing hyperlinks from Thunderbird emails, opening them in Edge, instead of the default Firefox. Many are having this problem; Microsoft did this on purpose. Fix?

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, ich mußte leider Thunderbird neu installieren und seit dem erscheinen Nachrichten nur noch in seperaten Fenstern. Normalerweise war die Darstellung 2geteilt: Oben die Nachrichten und unten die Inhalte. Wie stell ich das wieder her?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen Peter Treek

Running TB 115.4.1 (64-bit), POP3 account, up until this morning everything was fine.

Now getting msg - "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

Have more than 70 Gb free on my drive. Have tried: -deleting messages and compacting the inbox. -using TB's built-in repair folder utility. -deleting and re-creating the global-messages-db.sqlite file in my profile

Have logged into my email with my browser and can't find anything wrong with the account itself. Everything seems ok on that end.

Nothing has worked. Any other suggestions?

My folders have disappeared. They are there when I first open TBird, but immediately vanish. I have checked ALL in view, but if I uncheck then recheck, nothing changes.
