Im using Thunderbird Beta release. Starting last week, my PC would become extremely slow, to the point it would nearly come to a complete halt. After digging around, I realized it was due to excessively large Thunderbird NSTMP files that were being created. I would delete them and the speed would improve. But then a while later, the NSTMP files reappear and gobble up all my Harddisk again. Part of the issue is the sheer large size of the file, which will consume all available space on my HD, which at present is 600GB. But it also eats up all my RAM so my system slows down til the NSTMP file is fully built.

I use this as imap with Gmail installed on a PC with a 1TB SSD

Today after my pc started slowing again, I started poking around and noticed my main Inbox is massive, 29GB, which there is no chance its that large. All Mail is only 1GB to give perspective

This has been going on about a week.

I tried repairing my inboxes and other folders, but that does not seem to have helped.

I have been successfully using Thunderbird for many years. In the last year or so I have been noticing that occasionally one of my sent emails gets corrupted such that the email body starts showing html text and the email subject header is changed to another email header that exists in the same folder but is unrelated to the email body. When I check the corrupted email from the Gmail web user interface, the email is not corrupted. I tried repairing the folder but to no avail.

I attach an example of a corrupted email below:

From Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary="------------NlJPhaGMpTt1f7wbEHlOvxNE" Message-ID: <4bf83075-b571-4214-921b-09f4582e6e58@jesuit.org.mt> Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2024 10:25:56 +0100 MIME-Version: 1.0 User-Agent: Mozilla Thunderbird Subject: Re: Minutes of SCPC Meeting Content-Language: en-GB To: Charlotte Attard <charlotte.attard@staloysius.edu.mt> References: <AM9PR10MB487111674D307583B8DB6AD3D195A@AM9PR10MB4871.EURPRD10.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> <AM9PR10MB487106F96E9E404BDA477808D167A@AM9PR10MB4871.EURPRD10.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM> From: Stephen Scerri <stephen.scerri@jesuit.org.mt> In-Reply-To: <AM9PR10MB487106F96E9E404BDA477808D167A@AM9PR10MB4871.EURPRD10.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM>

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Yes Charlotte - please proceed - sorry for delay

Since upgrading to version 115.8.1 I get unable to write email to mailbox . I have three email addresses in my profile. All are POP. One (from yahoo) always hangs and the other two fail intermittently. OS is Windows 10 64-bit at 22H2 level It doesn't matter if Zonealarm is turned on or off. I have over 300GB of free space on disk.

Full error message: Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

I am using Thunderbird v 115.5.1 on a Windows 10 system. I am using an "@hotmail.com" email address. I seem to be able to receive emails just fine, but face an issue sending out emails. When I press "send", it gets stuck on "sending message" for quite a while, then I see the error message:

=

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com timed out. Try again.

=

My SMTP settings: Server Name: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication Method: OAuth2

Appreciate any help! :)

Hi All, Greetings!!! For the past two days, I have got the error like "Sending of the message failed. The message could not not be sent because the connection to Outgoing Server (SMTP) timed out". So I have restared our router (Broadband Modem), and then tried to send the mail, but the result is same. Then I have tried using my mobile network (using hotspot method), this time mail was sent sucessfully. Please help me to solve the issues...

Thanks Karthik

When Thunderbird is set to synchronize from an iCloud contact CardDAV, it is unable to show the photos for the contact. I am using TB 115 on Windows (problem is platform independent).

Steps to reproduce

1. Have an Apple ID. Use iCloud contact's web UI to create a contact and upload a photo for them.
2. Get an app password for the Apple ID.
3. Add iCloud contact as a CardDAV address book in TB. Should use https://contacts.icloud.com/contacts/ as the carddav location. The actual carddav URL I got is something like https://p123-contacts.icloud.com/12345678901/carddavhome/card/. (not a real link)
4. Sync the address book. The photo would not display correctly.

My investigation

Apple's carddav API server returns in its vcard a HTTP URL as its PHOTO field, like:

PHOTO;VALUE=URI:https://gateway.icloud.com/contacts/12345678901/ck/card/123
 456789abcd12345678abcd1234567

(not a real url; you can export the vcard if you have done the above reproducing steps) However, this URL cannot be directly accessed (would return 401 saying "Missing X-APPLE-WEBAUTH-USER cookie"; see e.g. this github issue). However, the cookie is not really needed; I can use HTTP basic auth with the same credential for the carddav server (in this case it's the apple app password, yourappleid@apple.com:1234-abcd-5678-dcba).

Potential fix

The current implementation directly puts the carddav photo URI into an HTML img tag. I think Thunderbird can make an AJAX request to fetch the image with the credentials and then put the result into an img tag.

Thunderbird runs slow...ie when I type an email I can easily type faster than thunderbird will accept characters....(this does not happen in other applications)...this happened about a month ago, and then stopped ( I have no idea why)...but the problem is back. I am running Ver 115.10.0 build 2024012173147. Rebooting windows 11 makes no difference.... I just tried to enter Troubleshoot mode and thunderbird stopped responding....Top line says Mozilla Thunderbird (Not Responding). Thunderbird is connected to my gmail account. ...and I run IMAP....with 'store all messages on the computer', but thunderbird wants to load every email from the server'

Any advice would be appreciated Rick

Hi, we started getting Thunderbird errors on both inbound and outbound messages when everything was fine earlier this morning on both. We are on Windows 10 running the Thunderbird 115.5.0 (32-bit) Release.

Inbound error message: The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later. Outbound error message: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) outbound.att.net was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again.

Are you all experiencing server issues - I don't believe this is a configuration problem on my side?

I have faced with the following bug linked to messages displaying in thread in any section of Thunderbird (i.e., Incoming messages). See the screenshot - there is just thin white stripe instead of text of the message. This bug repeats only for some random messages. Restart of Thunderbird resolves this bug temporarily.

After the last couple of Thunderbird updates, I have been experiencing a really frustrating issue that I can't seem to resolve.

Only when I receive emails from one specific recipient and I go to reply to them, the font size is suddenly really large, and the spacing between new lines is huge.

Even if I set the font options to the same as if I was replying to a different recipient or creating a new message, it still appears really large.

What's worse is even if I make all these adjustments and get the font size and formatting looking okay, the actual sent message is even more out of whack and has all these spacing problems.

Does anyone know what might be going on? No other mail client I use experiences this issue whatsoever, and this issue is only occuring with this recipient.

I have observed this behavior for a number of releases - currently running 115.4.2 (32-bit). TB doesn't seem to download, or at least process, a graphic within an email until I actually open it. The display can take what seems like a while. I have a relatively fast (deskside) system, lots of memory/disc, GB ethernet, and would like all graphics to be processed when the email is first downloaded instead of waiting. I don't see any setting to change this. Any suggestions appreciated.

I have used Juno for one of my email accounts since it was first introduced in the 1990s. More recently, I have learned to use Juno's POP and SMTP servers, however in recent years some issue developed between Juno and Mozilla/Thunderbird, wherein TB will not place a message sent through Juno in the Sent or Drafts folder (as applicable) on the Juno server(s), forcing TB to use separate local folders instead. For incoming mail, I use server pop.juno.com on port 995 with SSL/TLS security and encrypted-password authentication. For outgoing mail, I use server smtp.juno.com on port 465. Every time I send mail, the following messages appear: There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash folder, and compacting your mail folders, and then try again. which is inaccurate, given I have a considerable-sized hard drive (500 GB), plus multiple USB drives with much more space... then comes: Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-bob.in.jersey@juno.com. with the choice of buttons Retry, Save, or Don't Save. Please do something about this, or tell me what I need to do to ensure that the messages go to where they're supposed to go. Thanks.

Jeg kan ikke sende mails i Thunderbird, men jeg kan godt modtage mails, det har varet i ca 1 måned. Problemet har vist sig flere gange i de senere år, og så har I rettet det. Er der mulighed for at tale med en tekniker? Så ring venligst på 21135659. Venlig hilsen Minna

On Nov28 changed to Rel 115.5.1, my thunderbird can receive messages but can not send. I am getting an error message saying that my password is in error. However when i go to Mail.aol,com my password works fine. again this just started on the 28th.

Was just updated to version 115.5.1, and I had held off posting this question until after the update, hoping the issue might be resolved... but it's as bad as ever.

Tbird abruptly became very slow to delete/display messages; not with the last update, but a couple of updates previously. I have been in the habit of working my way up the list from the oldest to the newest, and as I hit "delete" and "up arrow" to view the next email, it's a slow, laggy process. Both emails remain highlighted for a second or two, the old email continues to display, then the deleted email drops out, and shortly the new one displays, the whole process taking a bit over two seconds... to move from one email to the next, a process that used to be nearly instantaneous. No idea exactly when that changed, but it seems to be a process that's getting worse with time.

Any ideas on what I might be able to do to get my original level of performance back? For what it's worth, this is a new machine, insanely fast compared to my older one, and Tbird is the only app where I'm encountering this kind of slowness issue. Everything else is astonishingly faster by comparison... but Tbird remains laggy and slow and I've no idea where to start looking for reasons for this. Don't even know what kind of information to post here that might be useful in diagnosing the issue - - tell me what's needed and I'll do my best to get it. Thanks in advance! I *really* don't want to change email clients after all this time!
