Forum Bashkësie Thunderbird

Dear Sir or Madam,

I'm using Thunderbird already for a long time and I'm very happy about it. Until now!

Since 1-2 weeks the programme does not download my emails anymore. I have to go to my hosting company and download my emails from my various domains, which is a pain. I read your "solution" in the help section, but it does not help as yet. I don't know what I might have done to change the settings, but when clicking on "Get Messages" no text at the bottom bar apears that it is looking for mail, but only a blue coloured bar at the right bottom on my screen apears and when completed disappears again. When I then go to my host company (Dot5Hosting) I can find my new emails.

What do I need to do to solve this problem? Thank you very much in advance for your solution(s). Kind regards, Ronald Verwer.

Hello, about maybe 2 months ago I noticed that TB display random subfolders without any clicking on main folder. I have plenty of folders and subfolders and on left side in window with folders and subfolders sometimes but very often are displayed subfolders of - sometimes one and sometimes more folders. This happen without any click on main folder. Because my folder tree is pretty long this cause that folder that I need for my work is suddenly out of my desktop and I need to scroll to see it. Or I have to click on each displayed folder to hide subfolders. Is there any chance to avoid this kind of behavior. Thanks. Peter

Hi.

Why every time i run thunderbird and if i leave it open too often it bring me the error message for all hotmail/outlook mail accounts i have???

What the heck is happening and how i can solve this?

I just sent a message in community forum (I think it was) about how some of my messages were loaded as raw html code, tonight. Well, I just found an interesting temporary fix: I send the offending message to "junk", then say it isn't junk, and send it back to my inbox: then it displays as it should. I tried to edit my original message here on Thunderbird with this new "fix", but was unable to. And it still doesn't solve why messages in my inbox load this way to begin with; but I thought it was interesting as a diagnostic feature.

I am still wondering whether to reinstall Thunderbird...

This has nothing to do with virus scans, because I don't have any going 24/7, that I'm aware of. Maybe Windows, though-- I'm never quite sure what it is doing. But no other 3rd party virus scans. Thanks.

Some of my emails tonight are displaying as raw html code. That is, I just get code-- no message. Really annoying! I saw another comment on here that suggested one needed to repair folder; it seems to me I'm always repairing my inbox (because I thought perhaps I wasn't receiving all my messages, but the problem may have been from the sender). I don't have any paid virus scan regularly scanning my PC-- except maybe Windows Defender, or whatever it's called these days? I am using Win 11. But I don't think I have any viruses, either. I often run Win Defender or free Malwarebytes-- but not whilst receiving email. I have never had a virus that I'm aware of. The problem just started. Should I re-install Thunderbird? Thx,

I've had this problem for about a month now. The last few thunderbird updates have been performing very slow on my system. I frequently get the 'wait or force quit' dialog popups when trying to use thunderbird. When viewing emails with HTML content, it often has long pauses where nothing happens and the UI is unresponsible.

I do have multiple email accounts, a lot of email (multiple folders with 20K+), and irc open. CPU and memory utilization are fairly low on the PC. It's a desktop with a 11900k + 32GB RAM + nvme m.2 pcie gen 3 ssd + intel arc a750.

I'm noticing issues on wired (via powerline) or wireless (802.11ax)

I have a client that has three laptops running Windows 11 and the latest build of Thunderbird. She has the same three email addresses (MSN.com, outlook.com and gmail.com) added to TB on all three computers. When sending a test message to one of the email addresses they arrive in the inbox on just two of the computers and not on the third one. All three email accounts have identical POP/SMTP settings and "Leave mail on server" is checked. Any ideas as to why just one of the computers would not receive inbound email messages? When I added the account to the computer in question, there were no error messages, and the account addition was successful. Any thoughts as to what might cause this?

I have a folder that indicates there are 13 messages in the folder, but only displays 4 of them. How can I recover the other 9 e-mails in the folder to be able to view them?

My message filters do not run. They appear to be properly set up. They don't work, even when I select "Run Filters on Folder", under the Tools Menu.

Here are my Filter Rules for one of them:

• Apply filter when: Manually Run (checked) Getting New Mail: Filter before Junk Classification (also checked)
• Match "Any of the following"
• From Is (sender's email address)
• Perform these actions: Move Message To (Junk on my email address)

I am using Thunderbird version 128.1esr (64 bit), Thunderbird Windows MSIX package, Thunderbird-MSIX-10 My system is Windows 11 Home version 23H2

Thank you!

Hi, I've tried searching for this but there seems to be alot of misunderstanding as to what is being asked, so please forgive the length of this post. Running Windows 7, Thunderbird 115.15.0 (64-bit). On opening Thunderbird or when a reminder point for a calendar or event is due a Reminders Window Pops Up showing all reminders/events. I can dismiss individulally or All or snooze indivulally or All. There is also an option [X] to close the window. Q, As to my actual question, if that window is closed, for what ever reason, I can not find away of re-opening the window, any help on how to do this? Please note I am not referring to the "Today Pain" which I can show or hide as needed. As an example I may have an appointment due on the 12th of the month, but need to prepare for it so I set a reminder for 3 days before, ie 9th. So on the 9th a reminder for the appointment appears allowing me to dismiss or snooze. I would commonly start to prepare and as such leave the reminder as is, not clicking dismiss or snooze but closing the window. Later on in the day I wish to open the window so I can clear the reminder. That's the window I wish to open and do not know how. Snoozing will not help as I may not be able to predict how long it takes me to prepare and therefore can snoze for too long or too short. I've included a screen shot of the actual window in question with a dummy reminder. Hope this was too long and thanks for any help offered.

Ubuntu 24.04, Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit)

I have a mix of POP and IMAP accounts. All are read when starting Thunderbird, I receive the messages. But then, only the IMAP accounts get the messages, whatever the configuration of the Server Settings. I.e. no messages for the POP accounts from "Check for new messages every X minutes", nor from "Get Messages". I have to restart Thunderbird to get the new messages for the POP accounts.

Everything worked well before, this problem happens since I have upgraded Xubuntu from 22.04 to 24.04, where the Thunderbird package switched to a mandatory Snap, where it upgraded to 128.1.0.

I am unable to add a subfolder in Thunderbird, delete a folder, or rename them. I am able to copy a folder to another account.

I right-click on a folder, select "add subfolder" and nothing happens, the same when I right-click "rename" or "delete". I just started using the dark mode theme and relaxed density. When I switch back to defaults settings, I still have the same issue.

Thank you!

I have multiple email accounts configured in Thunderbird, all of them are IMAP and hosted through Google/gmail.

Occasionally emails that I delete or move to folders will return to my inbox. This happens very irregularly. Sometimes it happens daily, sometimes it can go many days without an occurrence.

If emails are sorted within the gmail browser interface, the problem never happens.

I've tried a complete deletion of Thunderbird and all app data, and resetting all email accounts but the problem persists.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

New policy (in France) only allows SMTP server to accept mail from addresses of the same domain that the user.

Ex: smtp.orange.fr only accepts mail from *@orange.fr Ex: mail.gandi.net, when user is foo@domain.tld, only accepts mail from foo@domain.tld

Issue: it is not possible to use email aliases anymore (ex for project email, such as *@php.net, *@fedoraproject)

Proposal:

Allow to use user login in mail envelop (in "MAIL FROM:" for SMTP protocol, so as return-path) instead of profile email (which can be an unallowed alias)

Tested from CLI, it seems to work.

Hello,

In Thunderbird, sometimes I get empty emails, where I have a single message something like this: --=_swift-4237422295d790f35b16c49.66966381=_--

If I login and access the webmail platform, then I can see the emails fine, but on my computer I get that line of code.

It does so for a while, then it recovers.

What is the problem and what can I do to prevent this from happening again?

Thank you!

My inbox messages that are incoming are showing the following message and no data. This has happened for several days. It comes from both internal and external contacts and I know the emails are not spam/junk. How do I fix it so I get the messages. It is this same code on all days and all the emails with this message. I do get some of my other emails so not sure how it is decided which this is happening to but I am missing out on several that I need due to this issue. Thanks for your assistance!

Problema tasto canc. In una qualunque cartella con un numero n° di messaggi, selezionando uno di essi e premendo il tasto canc, avveniva la cancellazione dello stesso e di tutti i messaggi n fino a che non veniva rilasciato il tasto canc. Con il rilascio della versione 128.xx invece questa funzione è stata disabilitata. E' possibile ripristinarla? per me era molto comoda.

last few weeks, at two times. some emails (like 10 each time) has not been able to read when getting them from the server - they look as they should when viewing them online in the webmail. but downloaded to thunderbird they look like this: "------=_002_NextPart061840547421_=------

Dear Support Team,

For the past two weeks, I have been experiencing significant issues with Thunderbird. The program frequently freezes, and I have also noticed that some of my sent emails are missing from the "Sent" folder.

I would like to mention that other colleagues using the same email accounts do not encounter these problems, and Thunderbird has worked smoothly for me over the last 5 years. The issues started after I returned from a 2.5-week vacation during which I did not open the program.

Could you please help me resolve these issues? Any advice or troubleshooting steps would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards, Rafał

Hi,

I'm using the latest version of Thunderbird (128.2.0esr (64-bit)).

For some months I've been having a problem with some mail that I have read still showing as unread (bold). This happens whether I use the message pane or double-click to open the mail in a separate window.

Even if I then right-click on the email and select Mark > As read, the email initially shows as read, but a short time later it reverts to unread (bold).

I raised the issue with my email service provider and they say they only support web mail.

Any suggestions please?

Thanks!
