Storage size on disk for large Thunderbird IMAP folders grows disproportionately

Hi there,

I've recently had a problem with a couple of client PCs where their Thunderbird profile folder has grown to fill the entire hard drive. In both cases, the relevant account folder in the profile's ImapMail dir had grown to over 300Gb. This account takes up 45Gb on the server (where I'm running Dovecot with maildir storage). In another case on both PCs, an 18Gb account had grown to over 90Gb.

Both client PCs are running up-to-date Thunderbird (139.0.2 64bit), one under Windows 10 and one under Windows 11. Both had auto-compact set, with the minimum saving reduced to 100Mb. Both problematic accounts are shared accounts that use a deeply-nested folder structure. In both cases, I was forced to delete and then recreate the these accounts in Thunderbird.

I'm an experienced sysadmin who is also running the mail server, so I am able to provide any extra info needed. Additionally, I accept that these are large email accounts; I'm in the process of setting up an email archive system for the client using Piler. I have read many other reports of outsize Thunderbird data folders; these are usually referring to less than 20Gb. The problems we're having seem to be an order of magnitude larger!

Thanks in advance, P.

Hi! I'm trying to set Thunderbird as the operating system default under Win 11. I tried to follow Mozilla's instructions: 1. Open the Settings application by pressing and releasing the Windows Start button, then clicking the gear icon. 2. Click the Apps icon, then click Default Apps in the list. 3. Click the icon under the heading Email to show your choices. 4. Select Thunderbird. The trouble is that at n. 3 there is no choice. There is only 'OutlookAccounts' and this item cannot be deleted or replaced. Can you help? All the best, Robifiori

I have lost all my Thunderbird data due to the fact that I have a new PC with Win 11 (previously Win 10). I have not safed the mails and adresses on a separate storage device. This question was already answered by David and he asked if the old PC is still at hand. It is, but the harddisc was formatted and is now used in the new PC.

Is there any chance to rescue the lost data? If not it is not a real drama, but a mess! :-)

Thunderbird is not synchronizing with Mailfence. My other email accounts (Outlook, Gmail) work fine. TB connects to them, downloads message headers and displays the number of messages correctly. With Mailfence, the messages stop at "connected to imap.mailfence.com" and stalls there. The message disappears after a few seconds and nothing else happens. This happened this morning when I first launched TB. I then got an update to 128.11.1. No change. I did receive the Windows Update 2025-06 Cumulative Update sometime overnight prior to launching TB.

Freezes while composing message Thunderbird 138/139, Windows 11, in safe mode and troubleshoot mode

Thunderbird 138/139, Windows 11 Pro 23H2. While composing a message, after a few lines the app freezes. Both the compose window and the main TB window freeze. Only opening the Windows Task manager allows me to close them. This did not happen with earlier versions.

If I save the message every few seconds while composing I can get most of the message back and continue after restarting TB. This behavior is the same in both the normal and troubleshooting TB modes. I can't even find a crash log to send to Mozilla.

Where shall I look next?

Thank you!

Hello My wife was writing a long email and saved at regular intervals. Today my wife asked where here email, in drafts, was as she could only find one with a few characters for the message .... it's possible that she has blank the whole draft at some point and hence the saved draft with just 3 characters. Is there anyway to access the previosuly saved versions? Even if she could access one which only had 3/4 or 1/2 of what she typed it would help .... I feel that the lastest version of the saved message is all she has ?? Anyone know different? Many thanks in anticipation Neill

Version 128.11.0esr (64-bit) Tbird won't download emails from server. I get a bunch of status messages at the bottom left of the screen: looking up server, connecting, checking server capabilities, etc, then everything just stops. No downloads. If I access this account via webmail, there *are* emails there that Tbird just won't download. No error messages of any kind, just those status messages in that bar along the bottom of the window. All appears well... but no messages.

On the sending sider, I can't send anything from the account either (image attached.) So there appears to be both a connection error (sending) and NO connection error (receiving.) Got me chasing my own tail in circles - - tried a couple of different email apps and they're all working as they should, same settings, both send and receive. I've never used anything other than Thunderbird and REALLY don't want to change, but if it isn't working, looks like I'll have to, like it or not. Any ideas gratefully received!
