Форум поддержки Thunderbird

I've been using Thunderbird for almost 2-3 years and lately, I was connected to a limited internet connection and noticed that Thunderbird is consuming more than 25GB per day on average. Although my emails are not changing that frequent but it keeps on consuming a lot of traffic.

I'm using configuration for Exchange mail server and synching the mail every 1 minute. The size of the offline messages is 3.5 GB

How can I stop this consumption? Or at least to understand why is this happening?

I am all of a sudden not receiving emails from group lists I previously have been a part of and my email is in the distribution list. This just started to happen.

Any suggestions? Not very technical here...

Hi,

is there a setting for mail composition that shows a line ending symbol for the email's content? I mean something like the pilcrow (looks like a reversed uppercase P letter) in Microsoft Word.

Or is there an add-on for that?

Thank you.

How can we help? good question. I have a suggestion, dont set peoples email accounts to delete emails after 120 days.

Thanks to the retention policy setting being set by im not sure who (I would not consciously set this setting as I have been backing my emails up for years)

Years of emails have been deleted without my knowledge (until now) thanks to this setting. I dont know how it was set, whether it was during an update or something but because of this I have lost years of emails, numerous purchase receipts, customer information and conversations, attachments, etc ALL GONE AND DELETED

I have spent years backing up emails to then have one setting wipe them all out without my knowledge or approval. As my back ups overwrite the previous one and I was not aware this setting was set, my backups have been wiped out as well.

Thanks a lot mozilla.

You have no idea how insanely angry I am right now.

I have set up a new server for all my web sites, including the domain I use for e-mails. I have changed the nameservers and e-mails are going to the mailbox on the new server. The e-mail address remains unchanged. I now want to set up an account on TB to access these e-mails. I've gone through the 'Add Mail Account' procedure, to the point where TB tells me 'incoming server already exists' and I can get no further. Do I need to delete the old account in TB and start again? I can do this, of course, but it means setting up a whole lot of preferences over again, which I'm hoping ot avoid.

I have used Eudora for years, about 20 or more. Now I find myself with a dilemma. A secure email program I signed up for must have ports assigned to incoming and outgoing servers. Alas, not possible with Eudora, but possible with Thunderbird.

However, after reading several of the threads of migrating to Thunderbird from Eudora, it appears to be problematic--new addons, missing mailboxes, etc. It's hard to tell whether that's the norm or the exception. One of the threads I read was https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1228297 "Migrate Eudora mail to Thunderbird mail", which suggests starting with Thunderbird 17.0. That thread is from 3-1/2 years ago. Is this still the best way to migrate? Or is one of the Thunderbird migration tools a better and safer option.

I have literally thousands of saved emails and dozens of separate mailboxes and I don't want to lose them.

Version 91.7.0 only allows me to send mail from one e-mail address, as all the smtp settings are now the same. Previously, each address could have different settings, which my e-mail provider requires.

Many messages retrieved from my live.com accounts just show a lot of HTML gobbledygook and I have to browse to my accounts to read them. Also, some are messages I want to copy to another folder in Tbird and save. Is there any way to force Tbird to re-retrieve a message that doesn't download properly?

Thanks, Chris C.

Edit> I should mention that my workaround is to access my account on line and forward the message to myself, but that wrecks the date-time sequencing. Seems like there must be a better solution?

I have used Thunderbird for quite some time. It recently crashed and had to be reloaded. When I did the install I checked the box for it to not be the default browser, it still loaded and became default. I deinstalled and installed several times with the same result. There is something Im missing. Any ideas?

Your system is a DOG, I had to reset my laptop and when I reinstalled Thunderbird, I didnt know there was box to Check/uncheck about leaving emails on your server, so to dumped all my emails older than 14 days.

I did try the forum to try and find a repair and only got 1 comment from a Matthew ( I think)

Total waste of time!!!!!

I have swapped to Outlook, cost a little but far better for safety.

I have recently learned that when I reply back to an email - that my Thunderbird "sends" the email and it goes into my sent folder, but the email is not being delivered.

New emails go through

When I forward the email instead of reply and put in their address manually it goes through.

Can you tell me why when i "reply" to emails they are not going through.

Checked ports and settings. All good. I am on a Mac with Comcast internet / email

Thanks RC

I have been using Outlook for my email accounts, including Gmail, but would like to install Thunderbird as Gmail soon will no longer work with my version of Outlook. In the Mozilla support article "How to add your Gmail account to Thunderbird", it says that after configuring the account, "Thunderbird will download your existing messages and your Gmail will be ready to use." Will Thunderbird at that stage download every message in Gmail's inbox? My problem is that I have thousands of old messages in Gmail as have never accessed Gmail from my browser but from my email programs (Outlook Express, Win Liive Mail, Outlook) where I store messages in folders and delete whatever is not needed. If Thunderbird is, by default, going to download everything in Gmail, are there any options to limit this by date or any other criteria. Thank you for any help. Scotch

Received this error message after sending one email successfully today" "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Mailbox has reached daily sending limits for this IP: 104.61.154.46 (Z22/6017DF6). Please check the message and try again."

This has never happened before. I've been using Thunderbird for years. I've never heard of " reached daily sending limits for this IP" What is up??? Incoming email is fine. It keeps coming in.

Suddenly, Thunderbird stopped delivering emails from one pop 3 gmx.net account (the others are okay, including an IMAP gmx.net account). TB DOES still deliver these emails to my IPhone SE (15.4.1--the current OS). I use TB 91.9.1 on a MacBook Pro OS 10.14.6. I have checked all the settings on TB and GMX. I have deleted a lot of emails and cleaned the cache and compressed folders. I deactivated the firewall. Nothing works. Please help! Nancy

I would like to hide the "Switch to the calendar tab" and "Switch to the tasks tab" toolbar buttons that appear in the Thunderbird 91 top bar (title bar?).

I've tried the methods suggested for prior Thunderbird versions that employ userChrome.css, and they do not work.

Is it possible to hide these toolbar items?

Hi All,

We have a big issue with Thunderbird in our company. We have several email accounts and every single device has an access to all of the accounts. From few months we have a problem with missing emails.

Issue: Account number 1 - missing emails from one week in April Account number 2 - missing emails from 3 days in May

Email are not visible in deleted messages.

etc.

Is there a way to verify from where emails are deleted, or which program is making all this trouble?
