After the 128.3.0 update nothing in my email works. I can't send or receive emails. I wrote and email and since it wouldn't send I wanted to save it and could not save it. Initially I got the message that my email accounts were black listed. That stopped and I got another error message that kept repeating itself. I am not sure what that said anymore. I rebooted my computer and now it just doesn't work. I checked my settings and they are still correct.

Is there any way that I can go back to the last update? Is there anything I can do to fix this one without losing all of my saved emails? I am using Windows 11.

in the older TB for a loooong time, adr book and inbox showed up under WINDOW item new TB changed that and sometimes shows under TOOLS menu but in inbox it doesn't in compose/edit window it shows. See attached

So a client ask me for help, started out as not being able to open attachments on many emails. I made a back up prior trying anything, but was not able to copy over a 'sent' file (19gb) and global-messages-db.sqlite (803 mb) I tried doing repair on the mail boxes and deleting the global-messages-db.sqlite file (read it will rebuild. But now years of emails are missing completely. this is beyond me, mailbox file is still large and wondering if there is a pro that knows how to recover from this.

Every email in my inbox received before 9/17/24 at 11:30am is blank with no content. I am using Thunderbird on a 2017 iMac. I can see the affected emails on my iPhone just fine. I have to gmail accounts that are working fine a well. The email address is barrack@battenkillbicycles.com.

HI, I have TBird 102.15.1 64Bit installed on several different PCs and laptops. On my main Laptop I checked the Roaming\Thunderbird folder properties and found the following: Size on Disk: 35.8 GB Contains 253,172 files and 1,533 Folders. Is their anyway I can reduce the size? My TBird seems to be running slowly and occasionally stalls. I do not want to switch back to Outlook client program, I am not a Microsoft supporter. I do know I could move mail to local folders but would that mean I could only access them from one machine? Thanks.

Thunderbird gobbles up too much of my SSD space!

How can I prevent this from happening?

I'm using Thunderbird 128.2.3esr (64-bit) Safari browser Version 18.0 (19619.1.26.111.10, 19619) Macbook Air M2 15" running OS 14.7

See attached screenshot

I've been on Thunderbird for almost 20 years and a Mozilla fan. Have evolved a fairly elaborate configuration of local (POP) email folders, rules, calendar, and accounts to manage & organize email activity, retention, archiving, etc. I've not had to deal with Profiles in previous upgrades and don't have much experience with it.

The recent Oct 1 push of Firefox & Thunderbird 131.0 releases took me by surprise. I was able to re-implement the previous Firefox profile to recover bookmarks, cookies, passwords, etc. However, when T-Bird warned that 131.0 was Beta & unsupported I took the suggestion to download & install the current supported release: 128.3.0 (I was on 128.2.3). Then hell came.

Once downloaded, installed & launched, Thunderbird 128.3 cautioned the new profile created with T-Bird 131.0 was incompatible with previous versions and that I should create a new one, which I did. Still could not get new T-Bird to recognize previous profile, so I tried uninstalling, downloading & reinstalling 128.3 multiple times, each time prompted to create a new profile before proceeding. I tried to follow the previous profile restoration process detailed on support forums & articles, but none seemed specifically relevant to my situation.

I located my profiles in the appdata roaming profile folder, including what I think are most recent based on size of mail folders. Can't determine whether I had just one or several in use due to the extent of my setup. Could really use some help & advice to: 1) Determine which profile was in most recent use prior to T-Bird upgrade. 2) Whether more than one profile was in use. 3) Re-implement the profile I was using on T-Bird 128.2.3 with my new 128.3.0

Regards & many thanks in advance, John C Houston

PS You'll ask why I would upgrade to 131.0 from 128.2.3. Answer: it was on auto-update and 131.0 is what was pushed. No more auto-updates for this guy!

T bird 115.10.1 Now i am NOT getting all my mails downloaded. i know they are on the server,, but i only get SOME of them. This makes this email client unreliable since i depend on receiving email from clients.

Since yesterday I have Thunderbird nebula 128.2.3esr on my Windows 10. But I cannot find my calendar and the new left sidebar isn't available, but only a little button on the left upper corner with seven button without function. I've tried a lot, I cannot find any description about a same failure in the Internet.

I am getting these messages when trying to reply: mail.iinet.net.au587 and Sending of message failed. Peer's Certificate has expired. The configuration related to must be corrected. I would like to know what to do to correct this.

Why am I unable to send emails?

I get this error message: "

Sending of the message failed.

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 75.83.239.228 blocked. Please see https://www.spectrum.net/support/internet/understanding-email-error-codes for more information. AUP#Out-1300. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again. "

I've never knowingly installed a non-mainline thunderbird, but earlier this week I started getting the following when I open Thunderbird:

This is an unsupported version of Thunderbird!! Thunderbird monthly releases are not considered stable for general use. Use at your own risk, this build is the same quality as Thunderbird Beta.

Checking the version of thunderbird.exe It says its v131, which happens to be the same as the copy of Firefox installed. When I remove and reinstall Thunderbird it starts off as 128 but quickly changes to 131, even after uninstalling Firefox. (Also annoyingly, this stomps on the version in the profile, which 128 claims is no longer compatible, because Thunderbird isn't clever enough to save a copy of files when it makes "breaking" changes to user files)

I wouldn't being on 131 if actually worked, but it gets stuck in the handshake with my IMAP server, and doesn't even show the local folder caches. (It also for some reason shows the window controls on left side of the window title bar, rather than the right).

How can I restore standard functionality?

Why can't I retrieve a website that I am directed to in a Thunderbird email? Usually the website is in "blue" and can be retrieved by a simple click, these are just in black.

I already tried putting Thunderbird as a shortcut into the C:\Users\<myAccountName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo (aka. shell:SendTo) folder. But when I use the "Sent to" menu and select Thunderbird, the file to be attached just gets openned by Windows as if I had double-clicked on it. Thunderbird does not even open a new message.

I also tried changing the call of the Thunderbird shortcut in the SendTo folder to: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -compose attachment= At least, then Thunderbird opens a new message. But it just writes the path\filename of the file to attach into the attachment section. When I then try to send the message, Thunderbird says it cannot access it under this path.

How are you doing this? Thanks!

I tried to get a copy from timemachine (backup) and it complained that the profile is from a newer version. TB is full of bugs and horrible UI "features" that suck - simple things like changing column width for example.

Hi everyone,

Im doing a clean install and i dont want Thunderbird to sync and download some emails.

What im trying to achieve is to download every email to use offline and be in sync with the Gmail account but only the most recent ones. And i did this:

Inbox: So far in Gmail i moved alot of emails from the Inbox to another folder. How can i disable that folder to sync in Thunderbird? Because as soon as i log in, every folder starts to sync and download automatically.

Outbox: I did some research and its seems that is not possible to move emails from outbox to another folder. Is there any way that i can only download emails only after specific date?

bold text Previously I put the mouse on bottom of very long list and pushed them up until I had a workable IN BOX list. They were not lost they kept the displayed list the same as I deleted emails after reading.

I am testing sending emails to a mailing list sending them all as BCC.

All of the emails when received show "Undisclosed Recipient" as the Sender instead of Displaying my name as the sender.

Another thread said this might be a Google thing. I am sending the emails from a work email not Google though I do not know if Google is the underlying sender for my work domain.

Any ideas of how to fix this?

I want my recipients to know the email is coming from me so they don't think it is spam.
