Thunderbird: форум сообщества

Using Thunderbird with Windows 11. Yesterday I could send/receive Emails OK. Today I cannot use either. Didn't change anything. When I try to send message, a box with this message appears: "Login to server smtp.gmail.com with username [redacted] @gmail.com failed". I am logged in to my Google account. A few months ago, the same thing happened. Gave up for the night and the next morning everything worked OK. Is Thunderbird occasionally out of service? I tried Microsoft Outlook and it works OK so I know internet is OK

Also, I notice receiving messages takes a long time sometimes. I get messages sometimes a full day later. Outlook is almost instantaneous. If I send a message to me, it is received within seconds. Any suggestions? Regards, Art Towslee [redacted] @gmail.com [redacted] (cell)

thunderbird will not delete messages in one of my 2 accounts. when i click delete they just keep re-appearing in my in box. I have deleted the TRASH.msf but issue persists: WHY? I also cannot move messages to another folder, but again, only in one of the two accounts that I have. This just started on 6/17, perhas a bad update? How do I fix this as my in box is filling quickly

TB 68.9.0 (64-bit). I'm using this version because I'm used to it.

Scenario:

• I am viewing the message list, eg the inbox
• I click a message
• The message is highlighted in grey with a thin blue outline. However it does not have focus: for example when I hit delete on the keyboard nothing happens
• When I click the message again (after a delay, so it's not a double-click) the message is highlighted in blue and I can now delete it from the keyboard
• When I delete it, grey highlighting (but again not proper focus) moves to the next email. If I want to delete that from the keyboard, I have to click it to make it blue.

Desired behaviour (this always used to happen):

• I click a message once
• It's highlighted in blue
• When I hit delete on the keyboard, it is deleted and focus (blue highlighting) moves to the next message so I can delete that from the keyboard immediately.

I've tried rebuilding the folder, to no avail. The config mail.delete_matches_sort_order is set to false, which is what I want (emails viewed from newest to oldest; when I delete one I want focus to move to the next one down, i.e. the next oldest one). As I say, the desired behaviour always used to happen and I don't know what's changed.

I just can't get Thunderbird to work. Will not send or receive emails. I had chat gpt help, still nothing. I tried last year when I had windows 10, still didn't work.

Thunderbird on 2 computers when mails are deleted on first computer it then lands in TRASH but it also deletes them on second computer where it does not land in TRASH.

when I delete a folder which is showing in a light color, message states folder is undouble. I delete it but it re appears when I log back in. How can I permanently delete the folder?

I have tried the procedure outlined in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-delete-messages#thunderbird:win11:tb152 several times. The account in question is a POP account. The procedure creates a Trash folder that I can see in File Explorer. However it doesn't show up in Thunderbird and i cannot delete any messages in this account.

Here is how I got to this point: I was deleting a two messages that Bitdefender had found were infected. The messages disappeared but so did the Trash folder. I know the infected messages are there somewhere because Bitdefender keeps reporting them. Now I can neither locate these deleted messages nor delete any other message in this account.

Hello,

I would like to understand how to configure Thunderbird with IMAP accounts so that moving messages to Local Folders automatically removes them from the mail server.

I am currently experiencing this issue with Gmail.

1. Manual message moving

When I manually move an email from the Gmail Inbox to a Thunderbird Local Folder, the message is successfully moved locally. However, on the Gmail server, the message remains in the Inbox and is marked as read instead of being deleted.

2. Automatic message filters

I have configured message filters in Thunderbird to automatically move certain incoming emails to Local Folders.

The messages are successfully moved to the specified Local Folders, but instead of being deleted from Gmail, they appear to be archived and remain on the server.

Expected behavior:

- When I manually move an email from an IMAP folder to a Local Folder, it should be removed from the mail server. - When a message filter moves an email to a Local Folder, it should also be removed from the mail server. - Messages moved to Local Folders should retain their original read/unread status.

My questions:

1. How should Thunderbird be configured to achieve this behavior? 2. Are there specific settings for deleting messages from an IMAP server after moving them to Local Folders? 3. Does Gmail require additional IMAP configuration to ensure that moved messages are actually deleted rather than archived? 4. Is there a recommended way to configure message filters for this purpose?

My goal is to use Thunderbird Local Folders for storing emails while removing the original messages from the Gmail server to free up storage space.

Thank you for your help.

In one of my accounts the inbox is falsely showing 35 emails not read. This untrue I haven't got 35 emails in my inbox. How can I get it to show an accurate number.

I have a fresh install of Thunderbird from yesterday. Never was on this machine before. Setting up 2 mail accounts worked well. I can select multiple messages using either ctrl+click to select individual messages or shift+click to select a range of messages. They all get highlighted as one would expect, but when I drag them to another folder, or choose from the right-click options like move or copy or archive, this action is performed only for the first message that I clicked. I am sure this did work before and I have no idea what I might have changed so that it does not work anymore. I transfered a lot of messages from one account to the other without problems. I changed archive options, installed the AutoArchive addon, changed folder icon colours, ... Can't remeber everything, sorry. On a side-note, AutoArchive is also only archiving one single message from every folder, so the underlying mechanism is the same.

I logged into email today and most of my folders are missing from left side of screen. I have inbox, deleted, sent, and a couple more i created. I missing many folders I created. I have not had a problem like this and have used thunderbird for many years.
