It seems from reading on forums and googling that there is a "return receipt" function in Thunderbird. My problem is I can't find it anywhere in my software. I've searched in every category and can't even find an "Options" on the menu. I remember when Thunderbird did have a "return receipt" that was very easy to find. Now it seems that it has disappeared altogether. What gives?

Hi, I messed up my first email account creation with Thunderbird where I can't see any local emails and my server inbox is now empty (had +200 emails in there). I am in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

Here is what I did: 1- went into my server mail and moved every folder emails into my inbox

2- created my Thunderbird POP3 using the automatic process

   - said to delete emails after being downloaded

3- once created I wanted to create a personnalized folder this account (I have another email to do the same thing). I was pointing to a specific folder before I created a new one: ~/snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird/b*.default I pointed it to ~/snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird/f*

• • • can't remember if these were called profile location or something else. Please explain the purpose of it and when should we need to change it.

4- I went into my mail window and noticed Thunderebird Inbox being empty. I went back to my server inbox and it was also empty. I did not know why nothing was downloaded. I tried using the Get Mail a few times but nothing was happening. Tried to look for Synch something option but could not find any

5- I checked both folders above and saw the default one had tons of stuff why the second one had almost nothing. So I figured that before I had chosen the 2nd folder location, my inbox must have been downloaded into the default one.

6- tried in the console to copy the whole content of the first folder to the second one. I think I restarted at that point, not sure. But in the email list window there was "history.sqlite" listed instead of inbox and "minidumps" below it.

7- I added an import addon, imported the b*.default folder into a 3 one I created, had chosen Offline and restarted. Now in the email window nothing was showing up. I tried Get Mail but it said I needed to get off the Offline mode. I unchecked Working Offline in the File menu but still nothing.

If I do a Thunderbird restart, it asks me which of the 3 profiles I want to start Thunderbird with. If I chose the default one, it shows the history.sqlite and minidumps folders. If I chose the 2nd one I created, it has the same content. If I chose the 3rd one I created with the import, it brings me up to the step where I can create a Thunderbird email account.

Now I have no idea what to do. I still believe all my 200+ emails are in the b*.default folder but how to I switch back to it?

Please tell me I did not loose all those 200+ emails !!!

In my "Unified Folders" view, selecting "Inbox" in the navigation tree is not just showing Inboxes, but also showing every eMail in every directory and subdirectory of every account, which defeats the purpose of organizing eMails into a directory structure. I'm coming from Outlook, which doesn't do this. I'm used to being able to keep my Inbox clean by moving eMails to various directories so that I can save them, yet have them out of the way, and keep a clean Inbox screen.

Is there any way to tell Thunderbird to show my only those eMails that are in the "Inbox" folder in each of the Unified accounts, rather than showing me every eMail at every depth in the directory tree for all accounts?

Thanks for any help with this!

I'm using the latest version of Thunderbird. I just updated to Version 128.3.1esr. The problem is that I cannot edit or add event dates to Thunderbird Clients. I can see all my previous events but it will NOT let me add or edit events. This all worked fine before the latest update occurred, so it's related to the changes that Thunderbird made in this last update. This makes Thunderbird calendar useless.

I recently installed TB on my new machine and I'm having trouble with my address book. The order of addresses are displayed by first name. I'd like them sorted by last name. Maybe I'm blind, but I haven't found where this is specified..?

Thanks, Phil

When I open Thunderbird (Mozilla), my files are not current. In other words, the most recent emails, probably since the last time I used Thunderbird, in my file folders are missing. I have tried changing the server settings but I think they are correct. Please be patient with me, I am unfamiliar with all the terminology, etc. Also, when I first enter Thunderbird, it does not recognize my password. A window opens with the message "Login to server imap.postoffice.net with username john.fn@usa.net failed." That message also appears when I click on Get Messages. Thanks for any help.

Hi Guys, I wonder if you can help . I have had Monzilla Thunderbird App for some while , primarily used for email, and access to my email account with Microsoft and has always been a bit of a pain to say the least. That I fear is because it was never set up properly by myself in the first place.

However, at the moment I can't receive any email from my PC ......."bards@btconnect.com " unless I sign in via a webpage. However, access via my smartphone using supplied Outlook email app, no problem.

So I am hopeful that you guys can help me sort out my PC access once and for all.

The current problem has arisen after receiving a forced donation / subscription page from Mozilla having made my donation I still do not have access to my email and folders.

Brief history: i. Originally PC access to account via Monzilla working fine, (donations made at intervals to Monzilla). ii. Microsoft then changed security systems and servers and with current setup at the time I couldn't get access to email incoming or outgoing ( problem with Imap / PoP3 servers). iii. Fix provided by Monzilla with new account denoted as .... bards@btconnect.com (OWL) whatever OWL stands for I do not know, (annual subscription required). iv. Even with the use of this get around , I still had problems sending mail this I believe was a problem down to default passwords and old server settings. (confliction between default settings and original account settings and use of OWL ? ). v. As mentioned above the current problem has arisen after receiving a forced donation / subscription page from Mozilla having made my donation I still do not have access to my email. problem with server settings again. Don't know what's going on ? and I am thoroughly confused and would appreciate some help getting things back on track. Just in case I have some difficulty accessing this platform and this forum / help page it would be much appreciated if any help could also be sent to the following email addresses bards@btonnect.com and grahambardo@hotmail.co.uk Many thanks

How do I see the rest of this notification? Nothing happens when I click on it. It happened after I tried to copy some emails from one account to another. MacOS High Sierra, Thunderbird 115.15.0 (64-bit).

When I set up my Thunderbird Mail I had intended it to serve 6 email addresses. I then scrapped my intentions to use three of those, and they no longer show up in my available emails. However, the program keeps asking for the access passwords for all three and it's a continual nuisance being interrupted all day long - BUT I can't find ay trace of them in Thunderbird to be able to block them. I use the other 3 on a frequent basis but they are the only email addresses i can now see in my account. How can I find access to the other 3 to delete all trace of them?? Yours hopefully John Reed

I have email at a google workspace email account that I want to relocate to a hosted email account. Is it best to do this through the Profile and if so how? Or just move the emails, and what's the best way to do that, All Mail, or Inbox + folders?

Something happened to my Mozilla Thunderbird account. Suddenly, when I open Thunderbird to check or send emails, all that opens is my list of sent messages. I no longer have my start page which allows me to compose and send and see new messages. I've been trying to get some help for the last three days or so as I'm 75 years old and feel crippled without my email account. I've been using Thunderbird for years and am used to its format and appearance, usability etc. and would just like to get it back to where it was.

Of course, I would like to be able to retain my older sent and received messages and my list of contacts and email addresses etc. I'm assuming that all of my information still exists in my Mozilla Thunderbird account somewhere and am wondering if it can all be restored on my computer. I need assistance in making that happen. I was not raised on computers and can easily get lost in all of the jargon, codes, etc. and my ISP can't help me with much of it other than to refer me to the Mozilla Thunderbird providers.

If nothing else, can I, should I, just download Mozilla Thunderbird again and start anew? I would really rather know that it can all be restored from somewhere if I can find the right link or person to help me and to not keep me bouncing around between robots and automated responses. I've attached a photo of what opens when I try to go into my email. My contacts (correspondents) and their email addys have been blocked out but I've tried to show all of the icons that are available to me, none of which seems to provide a solution to my problem.

I find that I AM able to receive my email on my ISP's email program but it is a very basic program which is not at all familiar to me. I also have two other email accounts on gmail that seem to be working fine but they are not accounts that were set up for day to day messaging. One of those accounts is associated with my wildlife photography website. 

Thank you, in advance, for any assistance from Mozilla Support.

Frequently my emails have added garbage as in "AwEBAQEBAQEBAQAAAAAAAAECAwQFBgcICQoL/8QAtREAAgECBAQDBAcFBAQAAQJ3AAECAxEEBSEx BhJBUQdhcRMiMoEIFEKRobHBCSMzUvAVYnLRChYkNOEl8RcYGRomJygpKjU2Nzg5OkNERUZHSElK U1RVVldYWVpjZGVmZ2hpanN0dXZ3eHl6goOEhYaHiImKkpOUlZaXmJmaoqOkpaanqKmqsrO0tba3 uLm6wsPExcbHyMnK0tPU1dbX2Nna4uPk5ebn6Onq8vP09fb3+Pn6/9oADAMBAAIRAxEAPwD+/iii igAooooAKKKKACiiigAooooAKKKKACiignAJ9KAK5wNpz97cM9sHHB/xAP1r4F/4KYfFn4gfA79i v42/FH4X6/N4S8deF7Dwy+ia9BaaVfvYnUPGPh7S7xxa6zZahpzgWN1cj95DxnKMCCT99gK+SQee QME46j0/UfnX5jf8FjBj/gnP+0OAemn+CuOvB+IfhTv7Z6dj09v0TwcwGCzPxb8L8tzLC0sbluM8 QeD8DmGBxkI4nB47BVuIMvp1sLi4yUk6dSnUlCpF6uLavdny3HOIrYTg3ijFYeu8NXw+QZzU"

Why is this?

When I open up Mozilla Thunderbird, at the bottom of my screen I see this message: diane@centerstage.com: downloading message 135 of 5150 in In box. This is keeping me from actually clicking on an email in my inbox to respond to. How do I get this download to stop? My emails come in instantly so why am I getting downloading all these messages when I know that I'm not getting these amount of emails into my inbox?

See attached image.

For the past couple of weeks many of my messages I recieved through Thunderbird have been truncated with

"</blockquote></div>

--0000000000007051e60614c54939-- " I have to go to K9 to read the message. Can you suggest a course of action I can take to rectify the problem?

TB 128.3.1 esr (32 bit). I've been using TB for years.

Lately TB is marking correctly emails as Junk and the red flame shows up. This is in my Inbox and does not automatically go to Junk Folder. This is checked in my Settings: These are all checked. Mark messages as read When manually marked as junk When Thunderbird determines that they are junk Enable adaptive junk filter logging But I have to manually delete them from the Inbox. I think TB use to show these and then send them to Junk. Whats wrong?

Once again, some of my incoming emails are corrupted between Gmail (where they are readable) and the Thunderbird Inbox. Sample: iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAEOAAAAlUCAYAAACgGLqaAAAKpWlDQ1BJQ0MgUHJvZmlsZQAASImV

I am trying to locate the question I submitted recently. While it is great to search for information and hopefully fix our solution. Why not after I log in to show all the questions, I submitted then maybe look at others later? I would appreciate if that capability could be considered.
