I've just resumed using Thunderbird, with a new installation on a new computer, after a long period of having only my ISP's web interface. I'm having a problem with adaptive junk filtering: it thinks everything is junk until I tell it otherwise.

By default, it leaves putative junk messages in the Inbox, but displays a yellow ribbon above a junk message's preview with "Learn more" and "Not junk" buttons. In this configuration, having it assume everything new is junk is just a nuisance.

But eventually I will finish training it, and I'll want it to move junk to the Junk folder automatically. Then this behavior will be a disaster.

Using made-up numbers to illustrate, suppose I get 1000 messages per day. Of these, 998 are from addresses it recognizes, so it knows that 993 of them are junk and 5 are legitimate, because I've received email from those addresses before, and I've told it what to do with them. That leaves 2 messages which may or may not be junk.

It should leave those messages in the Inbox, preferably with some kind of warning, and let me decide whether they are junk or not. Instead it's going to move them to Junk, and I'll never know I got them unless I review all 995 new messages in the Junk folder... which would defeat the whole point of having a junk filter.

Is there a way to make the junk filter default to "not junk" when it doesn't know? I've looked at the configuration dialog, and I don't see one.

This is a similar problem to other threads, but I haven't found my solution there.

(1) Opened Thunderbird (128.8.1, 64 bit, Windows 10) this morning, and got "No messages found" in every folder, including Local Folders.

(2) Thunderbird still retrieves New (unread) messages, audio-announces them, and the header appears in the Message Header pane. But once they are read, the message header no longer appears.

(3) In Troubleshoot Mode, all messages are still there and visible. Turned all extensions and hardware acceleration off, and using the standard system theme. Problem is still there in normal mode.

(4) If I run Search, it finds all relevant messages, and I'm able to display them.

It could be a bug in the program, or I may have just accidentally changed some setting that's causing this -- but it sure would be nice to get everything back and visible. Help, please!

It would be very useful if I could change the list order of the email addresses in the column on the left. I have several email addresses, and I would like to change the list order in which they are displayed.

Hello,

Whenever I get new a new email I get a sound notification and a few seconds later it's followed by a second sound notification for the same email. The taskbar displays a notification for 2 new emails as well, when there is only one. Any ideas about this?

Thanks.

Hi,

I installed Thunderbird on my windows 11 desktop pc a few days ago which went fine. I have it connected to 3 email accounts but it has only downloaded some folders for each account and there are others left to download but this isn't happening. Can anyone advise how to fix this?

Thanks

Every year in January I make a folder in which I store all mails of previous year. The '2024' folder is suddenly corrupt, and I cannot repair it with 'Properties/Repair Folder'. I removed the .msf file after closing TB, but that didn't help either. The entries are still there, but all detail info (title, sender, etc) is missing. Most content contains the text '--=-d6r3+c62j1XS/RY5PVsICg==--'. I viewed the database in a text editor, and a lot of relevant info seems to be still present (hard to check completeness however). All other folders are still OK. And a week ago I was able to access the folder without problems.

Any avise? Thanks, Rob

As email threads become lengthy they become unreadable. The older emails turn into displaying one character per line. Is this a bug or something fixable on my end?

Is there any way to get Thunderbird to show ICS files? Right now it just shows the contents as unusable trash in the email body.

Before anyone says it, toggling 'Display attachments inline' doesn't do anything. Enabling a calendar in Thunderbird allows the 'accept' etc buttons, but then I have to deal with the headache of a calendar in Thunderbird and still doesn't show the ICS file so I can use it with my actual calendar app.

With one of my email addresses, when I reply to someone's message, it gets sent to me and not to the recipient. This is a recent problem and not applicable to my other email accounts. I was fiddling with something and maybe changed one setting, but can anyone suggest where to look? Thank you.

After transferring the profile to a new computer, I still have to setup my columns and apply them to children for every email address I have. This is a pain. Why are the column settings not included in the profile? They must be located somewhere. Does anyone know which file contains this info, so I can transfer it instead of having to go through this? This problem is compounded because I have several email addresses.

When I click on a message from the list of messages in my inbox (Message List, or perhaps also called Thread Pane), I'm unable to select "Reply," "Reply All," or "Forward" without opening that email. I've tried multiple ways, and none of them work: - Keyboard shortcut (Ctrl-R or Ctrl-L) - Menu item

  -- Message > Reply
  -- Message > Forward

- Right click, then select Reply or Forward - Customized menu -- buttons for Reply and Forward

Other keyboard shortcuts/menu items work from the Message List, including compose new message, open, delete, tag, forward as attachment, etc.

When I open the Message Pane (F8), I am able to reply and forward from the Message List using all of the above methods. But I don't want the Message Pane displayed.

When i opened TB in "troubleshooting mode," the problem persisted. I don't have any extensions installed.

I searched and searched and couldn't find anyone else asking this question, so I'm hoping someone here can help.

Thank you!

I had Thunderbird suddenly quit responding last night. None of my past emails or menus or panels showed or anything. Just everything gray. I tried reloading, looking at settings, etc., and finally ended up uninstalling and reinstalling. That brought my email back, and my old emails, but no address book contents. I finally got the address book loading screens, and when I loaded in the Collected address book using the automatic import feature, I got 8800 gobbledygook meaningless entries. I can't find a legit profile folder for any legible addresses, so I am going to simply re-create my 50 or so addresses, but I need to get rid of 8800+ garbage address book entries.

HOWEVER, these 8800 meaningless, mostly empty, addresses are clogging up my Collected Addresses, and I have tried Mozilla's advice, Windows 10's advice, etc. through several means, to EMPTY this address file. It's the same old problem of nothing works, or the instructions are invalid for the latest version ( just like Windows 10 ! ). I am surely not going to hand-delete 8800 bad addresses ! Is there no straightforward way to EMPTY an entire address folder ? It does not seem so. I have even tried all the "You should be able to ..." suggestions online. I am stuck. I understand I cannot delete the folder proper; I just want to clear it out. Thanks for any help.

I have set up two e-mail accounts, both GMail. I often need to transfer e-mail from one account to another within the client. Transferring messages from one account to another goes smoothly when they do not have attachments or when the attachment is less than 5MB in size When the message I move contains attachments weighing more than 5MB, Thunderbird crashes and the transfer does not happen. The only solution found, which I would like to avoid, is to download the message with a ‘'save as,’' then drag the .eml file to the right folder in the different account. I have checked and Google does not block the transfer nor are there any problems with quotas (I am a Google Wokspace administrator). Google support confirms to me that there are no blocks and that the operation should go smoothly. They suggest that I contact Thunderbird support. Is there a procedure or setting in the program that allows messages to be transferred smoothly from one account to another even when they contain attachments? Thank you

The emails received and marked as junk mail do not automatically get placed in the junk folder. I would like clarification as to how this works. I want to have items marked as junk and/or spam removed from the inbox and placed in the appropriate folder automatically.
