There are certain emails that I get that in the email list display that show escaping HTML instead of data that would be human readable.

Its not all emails but it seems to be emails that maybe also have an image in the body of the email right away that is perhaps in a specific format that it happens.

I will attach screenshots. Target will be my example.

Older messages in Thunderbird are listed but their content is not showing. I have been using TB forever and I never had that problem before. It is POP3. When I try Folder Repair, the program simply throws out all messages whose content is not accessible (so if my Sent folder has 40,000 messages it comes back with a Sent folder of 2,000). Clearly something got corrupted but I am not sure what. In the picture below, the header is visible but (a) not clickable (different header showing) (b) no content is displayed. I used to copy the content of the TB folder to my laptop and back (while keeping different profile names assigned during installation. The problem seems to have started when I changed profile names and began using identical profile names on both the desktop and laptop. Also, the total size of the folders is around 65Gb, in case there is a size limit. Any ideas? Thanks

I'm currently on Office Outlook 2021......something happened and the license became invalid....according to Msoft.....I will have to re-purchase.......bought if it at huge discount on ebay so should have expected this... I'm investigating moving to Tbird.....but I have some questions.... 1. The importation of PST file seems rather complicated....is there an easy way to do this...??? 2. In Outlook I use the email....calendar....and notes.....I have a lot of notes as this is how I keep track of what I do for my clients......If somehow I import my PST file into Tbird....does all the email...calendar and notes come with it or just emails...??? 3. I POP Gmail into Outlook....but Gmail requires an App Password......can Tbird handle this..??? 4. My current PST file is about 3gb in size....Can Tbird handle this large amount of data..???

Thanks in advance for any assistance the community can offer... Steve

Hello There was a problem with auto renewal with my domain registrar, adotname, and the domain failed to renew and became inactive.

My host is Hostgator. the pointers were turned from HostGator back to adotname and DNS records were deleted.

I succeeded in renewing the domain but the tbird email is not working, prolly due to DNS issues. I have no idea how to reconstruct DNS in Adotname and their communications are 'iffy'. If anyone can help on this issue I'd appreciate it. Please contact me through an alternative site until tbird is repaired; vox80@protonmail.com Thank you Norm Norton

I started using Thunderbird a few weeks ago. The first problem I had was importing my address book (contacts list) from Outlook. I needed help because Thunderbird would not import the CSV file created by exporting my Outlook address book. It was necessary to re-organize the columns to match Thunderbird's layout - what a pain. Next, I created nine group addresses using Thunderbird's tools. I successfully tested at least one of the groups by sending a test message to the group. A few weeks later (now) I needed to add new members to a group, but found the group had no members. All of my nine groups exist, but have no members. Is there anything I might have done to empty all of the group addresses? I'm more than frustrated trying to learn how to use Thunderbird.

Thank you, Stephen Thompson

Hello. I have a strange problem. I have the latest Beta version with an IMAP account running fine. I need to add a second POP account. When I go through the motions of New Account > Email, the 'Account Hub' box appears were I can enter the name of the account and the email address. When I click Continue, I get two green ticks and it says Looking Up Configuration then it changes to a spinning blue circle. This stays like this indefinitely. I click the escape key to close the window.

Then if I go back to the New Account > Email procedure, it takes me back to the same box with the spinning blue circle and I can't start the process again. I have to restart Thunderbird to try again, but it still won't work. I have tried starting in Troubleshooting mode and disabling add ons but like the blue circle I am going in circles.

I have two computers and on the other one I have the original Release version. This adds the second POP account with no problem.

I am on Windows 11. Can anyone suggest something to try?

Hi, My Thunderbird email has stopped downloading emails from my server. I click to download emails, get a message saying "downloading 1 of 25" but no progression from here onwards. No messages are downloaded. I have made no changes to the settings and it has been working well for many years. wifi is connected.

Thank you for help to restore this.

Hello,

I have noticed a difference in behavior (for some time now, but I haven't noted exactly which version: first half of the year) in the alert for tasks that are “oudated” but not “completed.”

On ESR, an outdated task continues to sound at the launch or from time to time. On release, an outdated task no longer sounds (it remains green in the list, but that's all). And we are no longer notified if we don't go and check.

I don't know if this behavior is intentional or if it's a bug, but personally I switched to ESR because it's too problematic for me to no longer have alerts on overdue tasks.

Please let me know what you think...

[To reproduce: create a task with a start time 5 minutes before your test, no end date, and a reminder 0 minute before].

I keep getting the error "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." when I try to get my messages, or delete them.

I have tried: Restarting TB Shutting off my anitvirus and restarting TB Rebooting the computer

This started sometime yesterday (7/6) morning, at a time when I was not doing anything on my computer. Or at least that is the last mail that downloaded successfully I am using release 140esr (64 bit) supposedly released this morning.

Recently installed Thunderbird for Android on my Pixel 7. The migration seemed to work, however, the folders on my accounts are empty. My guess is an error in communication. The account email addresses are correct. Cannot find a setting or security setting addressing the issue. I am using OAuth2. Was never asked for a pin or password during the migration process. Just used the download on Google Play. Successfully migrated Thunderbird to my tablet. Similar issue, except after 2 days and multiple downloads it just started working. Any help would be appreciated.

Dzień dobry, mam problem z wyszukiwaniem wiadomości odebranych. Gdy wchodzę w wyszukiwarkę CITR+K i wpisuję jakieś wątek lub maila osoby korespondującej thunderbird wyszukuje mi tylko wiadomości wysłane, a niestety nie mam podglądu na odpowie. Wcześniej funkcja działała i miałem zbiorcze wyszukiwanie wiadomości odebranych i wysłanych. Prośba o pomoc.

Pozdrawiam, Sebastian Burski <redacted>

Good day,

I have a problem with searching for received messages. When I enter the CITR+K search engine and enter a thread or the e-mail of a correspondent, Thunderbird only searches for sent messages, and unfortunately I do not have a preview of the replies.

Previously, the function worked and I had a collective search for received and sent messages.

Request for help.

Best regards, Sebastian Burski
