I currently am using Thunderbird Version 128.8.1esr, Mac OS 15.3.2 As of 3/21/25 no new emails. I have two other accounts in Thunderbird that were not affected. I am now getting the following failure message. Anybody else having new messages not showing up since then? Tom

My email provider is Gmail. After the most recent windows 10 update they all became empty. I have restarted Thunderbird around three times as well as attempting to change the folder in account settings but they remain empty.

Unable to open the summary file for [Gmail]/Sent Mail on myemail@gmail.com. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long.

I am plagued with this error message on various accounts. The folders have opened before and it exists on the Gmail website application.

The SSD is fine with plenty of available space. Over twice needed by the system.

The profile folder is 65GB. Can Thunderbird handle that much data storage?

Hello everyone,

I'm experiencing the following issue and am having trouble resolving it.

・Normally, automatic reply emails should be received when there are inquiries from the website, but they are not displayed in Thunderbird. ・When I check the webmail on the mail server, I can see the emails, so they are definitely being delivered to the server. ・Occasionally, there have been delivery failures in the past, but since March 19th, not a single email has been received. ・As shown in the attached image, when I open Thunderbird, it displays "Downloading messages," and even when it reaches 60/60 downloads completed, the 60 emails are not displayed.

I suspect that the spam filter might be reacting, but I'm unsure of what to do. Could you please advise me?

I see an icon that an email I received has an attachment but there is no longer any sort of visible attachment to click on and open. That has disappeared since my last updating 128.8.1esr (64bit)

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?

I use an AOL email account and Thunderbird on my Mac. In Thunderbird, the junk mail folder - which AOL call "Bulk Mail" for some reason - has moved to the Trash folder and I can't get it out. It's a Thunderbird problem - if I go onto my account at AOL.com, everything is normal. How do I get it out? I've tried cutting and pasting it, creating a new folder...nothing seems to work. I don't want to empty the trash in case I no longer have a junk folder at all

I'm looking for an email solution for my husband and Thunderbird looks promising. However I'd really appreciate input from this community regarding our specific scenario before I make a move. I have a programming background but I fumble blindly trying to be his email admin.

The problem we are trying to solve is his current email setup chokes on send/receive almost daily, after which he has to use Task Manager to kill a hanging Outlook.exe process. After years of tinkering I'm about to give up on Outlook completely. I think the main issue is how Outlook interacts with his Archive. His Archive.pst file is 4GB and Outlook saves it as one big file even though it has many subfolders which are essentially his filing system. Outlook is configured to save everything directly to a local laptop which is backed up regularly and we want to retain this local feature. Thunderbird is attractive because: 1. it supports the local drive storage 2. it appears to have options for transferring his Outlook archive and other folders over in such a way that he can continue to search and access them as needed. He would also like to be able to: 1. move new emails received in Thunderbird into the same (transferred) archive subfolders he has now 2. send and receive new emails without the program choking 3. view and send new emails from his Android phone (without accessing the archive) 4. transfer his email contacts from Outlook and manage them in Thunderbird Can anyone see red flags with this in Thunderbird? He does NOT use:

- Outlook Calendar (we synch our phone calendars to Google calendar online)
- Outlook Tasks

Technical Details (in case it matters):

- HP Pavilion 2021 laptop running Windows 10 with 1TB storage (200+ GB free) and 16GB RAM
- Likely to upgrade to a newer bigger laptop with Windows 11 this year
- Outlook is running from a Microsoft 365 subscription
- His actual email account is from gmail but is named per a domain name I purchased
- His Outlook account is setup using IMAP
- We use ESET for virus protection and NordVPN for WIFI security

Any comments or advice are greatly appreciated!

Trying to send (redirect) a Thunderbird message using Simple Mail Redirection results in an error: "Transaction failed Unauthorized sender address. 1M8Pmu-1u0qJD3qDo-000B18. Please check the message and try again." Is there a fix for this or is there a better add-on for redirecting multiple messages at a time?

Thanks, Doug

I am not able to send a group email. I was able to 2 weeks ago. The error message is not on the form user@host. I have an older version of thunderbird 128.8 i believe. They do not use the word mailimg list only accounts and I have given the people on the list a nickname and it worked 2 weeks ago

I use Outlook on Thunderbird. If I log in to Outlook using a browser and send an email. Then I check the email in Thunderbird's Outbox, the sender is not my own email address, but a string of characters starting with "IMCEAEX-_O" If I send an email through Thunderbird, the sender can be displayed normally.

Hello!

I'm an intern and my company recently made an email for me to ease communication. I open the account on my Thunderbird and I am able to receive the emails in inbox well but I could not send my email due to Outgoing server (SMTP) timed out. I already tried the steps I found on the internet such as ensuring the port is correct, excluding the app from the firewall, increasing the timed out from 100 to 300 and restarting the app and my laptop. I still received error in sending out messages. Please help. Below is my Outgoing server information. Do let me know if i need to provide extra information to assist in aid. Thank you in advance.

Since about 1400 GMT, my inbox on my computer (but not on my tablet) has (a) not been receiving emails and (b) has been sending only some of the ones for which I pressed "Send". What should I do?
