Thunderbird: форум сообщества

Whilst using TB the screen went white with dozens of little tabs along the top of the screeen with what look like page icons, as the app became 'not responding'. Re-loading didn't help - same screen. Re-starting didn't help. I uninstalled and re-installed TB but it is stil the same. Opening in Windows (11) safe mode produced virtually the same result except for a few seconds I was able to open the hamburger menu and select trouble shooting. Opened in trouble shooting mode showed several alerts of 'failed to connect with servers' (outlook.office365.com imap.gmail.com and Yahoo). Then it shut down as before 'not responding'. When open, TB is using some 80% of available memory., and I can only close it by using Task Manager. I'm a complete dunce at this stuff so, if anyone knows a way out of this hole, please use simple English! Thanks, Jeff

I have followed all the other recommendations with, no luck. I am on Windows 11 and use Eset virus software. Thunderbird is not listed as running it Task Manager, and there is no Profile.lock (think that was what it was called) in the profile directory, and I have deleted the existing profiles and recreated it. I have uninstalled and reinstall Thunderbird, and I have rebooted my computer. I am frustrated and concerned I will loose saved emails and my address book! Help.

For two days I'm having intermittent "hanging" when I'm typing a document or letter in Thunderbird. It has just dont that for the 2nd time in less than 10 minutes. Don't know what's happening but it's very frustrating. Am not having any other computer problems. Am running Windows 11 which is automatically updated by Windows. I think Thunderbird is the most current version too. Help please anyone! It does say "(Not Responding) at the very top of the page.

Hello -- I'm hoping someone will be able to help!

I'm running Thunderbird 140.9.1esr (32-bit) on Windows 10 Pro version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.6466) with an Intel Core i7 processor.

Thunderbird suddenly started crashing repeatedly since yesterday. It ran long enough for me to install version 140.9.1esr, but still crashes repeatedly within a couple minutes of running the application, even if I don't do anything such as trying to reply to a message.

Please see below what I get in the Windows Event Viewer, pretty much the same for each crash. I have also pasted the contents of the following file (the others mentioned above don't exist).

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\AppHang_thunderbird.exe_5d8d3f9d863d0b28eacbd2a393cdc3d04ef559_c250478b_deffcb88-26f8-4204-bffd-7e6fd5a2ea88

I've gone to Troubleshooting Information, I've "cleared startup cache", I've tired "Troubleshoot Mode" and still Thunderbird crashes. There's nothing in Crash Reports.

Any help would be truly appreciated!

Best regards,

Miles Montelius

After I open my Thunderbird email and use it for 15 to 20 minutes it freezes. I need to close it and I get a message Thunderbird is not responding. I then need to close the program using Microsoft to close the program.

When inserting several larger images (JPEG, 1.4 MB, 1770x2440 px, 300 dpi) directly into the message body (i.e. not as an attachment), Thunderbird crashed and the draft of the written message was not saved.

Is there a limit to the maximum size or format of an image that can be inserted directly into the body of the message?

I am using THB release 140.6.0esr/32-bit

I posted this earlier and the bot named David is trying to take over with ideas that don’t work. How do we stop it? I also posted from my own email and it tried to stop me.

My machine Intel i3 6100, 16g of ddr4, windows 10. 250 gb ssd +1 tb mech hard drive

Over the last week or so, I call up Thunderbird then when I click on anything, it just comes back "Not responding" Any ideas?

Thanks in advance Tony Sneath

It's pretty much in the title. My in box freezes up and no emails arrive. Microsoft will drop drop down a box asking me if I want to open THUNDERBIRD and says make sure I'm using a trusted server - app??? I don't understand any of this!

Thunderbird (current version) freezes each time an email is closed and when it does so, it freezes the entire computer. Computer: MacBook Pro 16"; Tahoe 26.2. The freeze last for 2-5 seconds before it releases.

When I am working from home, on my home network, and using a VPN, (Windows 11) whenever I receive new messages, the app becomes completely frozen. That is, if the app is in the background and I receive an email "bing bong" notification, I can go to the app, but I can not click on anything. Nothing responds. I cannot change tabs, select a message, move the window, or even use the close box to quit the application. I must force quit via the Windows tray icon. If I open the application and it immediately checks for messages and gets new messages, also I can not interact with any on-screen window or element. I must force quit. Then, after force quitting, I reopen again, and get no new messages, the previously new messages I can click on and read. So at no time can I get messages, and continue using the app. I also had a draft email in progress, and received new messages, and then the draft message was non interactive. When I tried to quit the app, I saw a popup message about saving the draft, but also could not click on it. This problem does not happen at work on my internal network and no VPN. Our email is all POP based (yes you read that right, all POP no IMAP), FWIW.

Good morning

Since this morning (05/03/2026) Thunderbird freezes within a minute or two of opening the program.

Everything in the program freezes up. I cannot even close it.

I am running Version 140.8.0esr on a Windows 10 PC.

Initially I was getting a pop up warning message that ask me to confirm if I wanted to send an email with attachments of over 20 MB. There were 3 or 4 such messages. I had not tried to send such emails.

I checked the Outbox in Local folders for old messages, but it was empty. I also checked the Unsent messages files in Local Folders in the Profile folder. I deleted the Unsent Messages.msf file to no effect. I renamed and replaced the Unsent messages file. Also no change.

I checked for crash logs but there are none.

I have run out of ideas as to what to try next. Does anyone have any advice?

After successfully downloading Thunderbird several times (my browser is Firefox), the only functioning option provided is to make a donation. That is, it's telling me I must make at least a $5 donation in order to proceed to setting up a Thunderbird account. This despite clear statements on the website that donations are not required in order to use Thunderbird. There is no way to skip this step.

After closing the donate window, I'm taken to a nearly-blank screen with absolutely no functioning features on it other than a link that leads to multiple, useless articles about who knows what.

Please fix the site and advise how to proceed without further roadblocks.

Today - 26/01/2026 - Thunderbird keeps crashing for no reason. I receive a dialogue box to either quit or start Thunderbird again and to add to a crash report. I have been doing this all morning - no response. I have gone onto Mozilla Google search to see if there is a problem - nothing. I have shut down and re-started the computer - nothing happens. Please can you respond and maybe give me a customer service 'live' person who can talk me through this. I have used Thunderbird for over 15 years, but this is defeating me. I am in my late 70's and cannot cope with the way your Community site works. Thank you for your help. Hope to hear from you soonest.
