Hello Community Please help me to start again with Firefox from scratch. Last Month I downloaded Thunderbird email app and set up with a new email account using mailfence. Now I find that my mailfence email address was only a free trial and I have to pay to continue to use. I now wish to set up with my original free email with gmail. I did uninstall the Thunderbird app and then installed from fresh. Unfortunately it still has the mailfence email remembered in the Thunderbird App. How so I start again from scratch using my gmail account instead of the mailfence account that has now expired? Thank you in anticipation of you help.

Since yesterday when Thunderbird updated, I either get an alert sound for new email all of the time (even when Thunderbird is closed and I don't want to be alerted) or none of the time, if I turn the sound off (meaning even when I have Thunderbird open, I get no sound alerting me of new email). How do I set it so that when the program is open, the alert sound works, but when the program is closed, the alert sound does not interrupt my other activities (like work video calls)? Thanks for any help with this.

I had emptied my spam and junk folders but unfortunately I had marked up one email address as such which I need to undue, but I can't find where the list is. Where do I find it please?

I had a huge problem with M Outlook. In addition it has locked me out of my Office 365 package and I'm not getting help or support. Luckily I had backup completed before the problem. I changed to Thunderbird (using pop3), which I find very good. The back up is approx 8 GB but with many duplicates which I need to clean up. When I click import it seems to limit the file size to 2 GB. How can I import this backup file into Thunderbird to enable me to access the emails, clean up the many many duplicates and reduce the size? I await help, Thanks in advance

bij het importeren van adressen is het misgelopen. Er waren een 90 tal adressen en na de bewerking vermeldt het systeem een 2700 adressen. de teksten waren niet leesbaar: alle letters dooreen. Die kan ik nu niet verwijderen

Hi

Why does Thunderbird want all my personal information.......??

I'd be MORE THAN happy to make a donation to support you guys, but I am NOT happy about all the info I have to provide - and frankly I'm bot going to be bullied into giving info I don't want to. I donate to Wikipedia and they don't ask such intrusive questions - so why do you? You say that less than 2% of TB users donate - this PROBABLY the reason why they don't...!

And the fact that there is no direct link to ask somebody ask question about this subject, is really frustrating.

Thanks

My thunderbird works okay, but when I select emails from imbox folder to delete it takes too long. I researched to find the problem and the only option I found was to add an exclusion to the profile folder on my windows security antivirus. Now I can select emails from the imbox and delete them without a problem, but my concern is if I will be vulnerable to virus.

Hi, As of yesterday I am unable to send emails out. I keep getting this message below. I have gmail on same computer and that works fine. I am able to receive emails but can't send. Please help

Hi, Looking at the folders under my email, I see: 1 Inbox, 3 Drafts, 3 Sent, 1 Archive, & 1 Trash. How do I get rid of the extra Drafts and Sent folders? See the image below. The second and third are empty.

Yes :) there is more to it. Here are the details. I know how they got there and I did that to myself. I keep my Thunderbird Profile Data in a MS OneDrive shared folder. Yes, I know, this has some risk. However I work overseas 1/2 the time and use two different computers. This allows me to have each computer on a POP account and still have one set of data (and have Pop Accounts on my phones). I have been doing this for more than a year, and have not had any consequences beyond the above. I understand IMAP accounts, but do not use them for very good reasons, please do not recommend that.

I am generally careful to close T-Bird and then wait for OneDrive to update (I have learned how to "force" OneDrive to do so) before restarting the other one. There have been several occasions where I did not do that. Usually, I just get a bunch of repeated emails and some extra "computer named" versions of the data files. Once in a while, another folder Drafts and Sent folder has appeared.

Thanks in advance.

'''When are you going to add Categories to Contacts? '''

It is the only feature holding me back. I use outlook for Windows and I am able to sort my contacts by categories. In addition, I use a syncing software called Companion Link/Deja Office which syncs those contacts with those categories on either my iPhone or Android. This allows me to focus on targeting specific people for either personal or business use. Your software has that feature for calendar items. Why not integrate that same feature for the contacts which has a higher degree of importance. I see that a multitude of people have asked for quite some time already even offering to donate money if implemented.

Thanks so much :-)

I'd like to suppress displaying message Subject in the folder contents pane. (I'm in vertical view and would like the message contents pane to be wider. To accomplish that I'm willing to sacrifice listing the Subject in the folder contents pane. Tbird doesn't list that as a column I can select or deselect. Any ideas?

The real goal is to make the folder contents pane narrower. But it seems to not allow me to make it any narower than it is. A9(I can widen it, but that doesn't help. Is there any any to change the minimum width Thunderbird has set for that pane?

I desperately (sobbing here) need someone to hold my hand and walk me through this!!! I uninstalled the newest version (115) and installed the previous version (102) because of an outgoing mail problem. It gave me a warning that the newer version changed my profiles and it's not compatible so I downloaded the new version again. The import screen doesn't look anything like what it says in the help files. I don't have an option for importing from a previous version.

Please rescue me. I run a nonprofit and I have deadlines and meetings next week that I was supposed to make arrangements for and I've been dealing with this for almost a week.

My friend has been using Thunderbird for a long time. Recently I installed her new PC and restored her account profile using the profile folder on her old PC. So far so good. The problem is that her mails are not organized in folders on the mail server but she has a whole collection of folders in her Thunderbird mail client and is concerned about loosing her mails if the new PC (or the disk) would crash at some point. Of course she could just re-install Thunderbird after fixing the crash problem and sync with the mail server, but then the folder structure would be lost. First I considered using a back-up program to keep a back-up of her Thunderbird profile using cloud storage. My second thought (should have been my first thought...) is that she already has a back-up, namely the mail server. The ISP does a better job than any local back-up program to keep her mails safe. Only the missing folder structure remains a concern. So here is the question: if I change the setting to sync all folders with the mail server, what will happen: 1 - the folders in Thunderbird will disappear (only the folders, not the mails) because there are no folders on the mail server 2 - the folder structure from Thunderbird will be mirrorred on the ISP's mail server. Which one is it?

The latest version of Thunderbird changed the top menu, and I see a "Get Messages" button, but can't find "Send Unsent Messages" as a function anywhere. I've tried customizing the menu, and I've looked through older help discussions for any ideas, and I've prowled through the settings menus and can't seem to find it. I've also tried right-clicking on things - no joy. I have a message waiting to go out in the Outbox, but no way to send it except Redirect.

Thanks in advance, for any help or ideas!

I still have v102 on my PC. I have read and see where there are a lot of problems with v115 - messages from users. So if I want to keep v102. How long will it be good? Is there a cut-off date that I will be forced to get v115? Is there someone knowledgeable with Tb that can call me and walk me through getting v115 set up like v102? I am not computer literate enough to be able to do that on my own. Or a way to get simple "step by step" instructions? Trying to read all the updates is way over my head. I am an 85 yr old man that simply wants to be able to read my emails without having to re-learn how. I've been using Tb and Firefox every since I can remember. Years and years. Can someone help? I can furnish email address and/or phone number if needed.

Good morning

My client uses Thunderbird as the default mail client. I have setup SMTP in the Sage ERP system as the email configuration.

If we send email from Sage, Thunderbird crashes, however, the email does send though. If we reopen Thunderbird, it continues to work, but crashes again, once an email is sent from Sage. Error code: bp-cfdfe3a3-9c4d-487d-9a10-e59510230413

What could cause this and do you have any possible solutions?

Kind regards Maritza [removed phone# from public forum]

I have a list so long it won't fit here. I can only think to install back to an update 10 days ago. I can't find an option for that- and I am not a proffessional- just a simple user.

I have a MacAir, since installing the latest update, Thunderbird: stalls for so long and can't switch it off or access anything for hours sporadically, it won't save 'sent' emails sporadically, it sends emails full of garbage - numbers, green and black screens, and other illegable content. sporadically. A lot of problems happen the moment I put an image into the content. and then I can't undo it. I can't access the image to move it, to delete it, just stuck. the signature keeps including code. it now says 105% full. Since when did we have a quota? I didn't know how to fix it. So it's now blocking me receiving emails. so I archived, deleted mails and it shifted it. BUT I have never had to do this before and don't want to -I have a busness to run and need to keep records. I can't delete in the future. What is this stupid quota thing?

I can keep going with the problems I have. But I don't have copious amounts of weeks and months to now trouble shoot. So I thought I just take it back to a previous update -say 2 weeks ago before th eproblems started, and not update again until Thunderbird can function on the Mac.

Can anyone help me? I am scared to uninstall, as I don't want to lose my contacts again. (had previous problems with Thunderbird in the last few months) ...now this. and have no idea how to get help? I want to be loyal to thunderbird- but I can't function with it right now.

....anyone?

Thunderbird has changed one of my folders. This now has a different icon (see snip) and I cannot delete it as there is no option. Is it something that I've done and how do I correct it please. Many thanks
