Problem: I want to forward a received email to a list I have made. The list is located in my address book. First I click "forward" on the email in question, which is now waiting for addresses. Then I highlight each entry in the list I want to forward the email to. When I click "write", however, a new email appears and the email I want to forward is not included. Perhaps I should create an email containing the list first and then try to attach the email I want to forward, but that isn't obvious to me. It seems to me that in the past I could mark an email to be forwarded, then go to the address book, right click on the title of the list and then click "BCC". But this option seems to be missing. Any help will be greatly appreciated! Jack

Suddenly I am getting a pop-up window on Thunderbird asking me to sign in to continue with Mozilla Thunderbird email. It populates my email address and after clicking ‘next’ it says.

‘400. That’s an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know’.

i cannot send or receive through Thunderbird, at present. Who is the genius out there that can tell me what to do?

我的邮件客户端为128.7.1，用的时IMAP协议。在客户端界面显示收件箱（包括收件箱下级文件夹）总共大小为78GB,但是在%appdata%中的thunderbird文件夹却有恐怖的795GB！！！我尝试压缩收件箱但显示只压缩了7.5GB。。有人知道这是什么问题吗？我应该怎样减小%appdata%中的thunderbird文件夹的大小？谢谢。

Just lately, my gmail sent emails are going into trash folder and not being stored in the sent mail folder. In account settings, under Copies & Folders, I have the box checked for to "Place a copy in" and have tried both "Sent" folder and Other "Sent Mail". But the sent messages are not staying store in either of those files.

Most attachments come through as application/octet-stream which I should be perfectly able to view via "gnome-text-editor" or "gedit" etc. I want to be given the option to use one of these.

I don't see any mechanism in the menus to allow this, though. The "application/octet-stream" is conspicuously absent from the content-type list, which is absurd since that's what 99% of all attachments are recognized as.

Note that I want this as an *OPTION* to going through the steps of downloading and then viewing the file.

When I receive an e-mail that has a JPEG attachment (Windows 10 Professional 64-bit), Thunderbird opens the JPEG image with Microsoft Photo Viewer. When the image opens, I cannot rotate the image. If I save the image and then open that saved image via the same Microsoft application, the rotate icon in the upper left is operative. Is this due to the permissions in the image being opened by Thunderbird from alt/local/temp? Thanks.

Sometimes I'll get an email that will not open to read. And it is at random doing this.

What I see is this. In Outlook it is shown but will not open. While I get the same email in "gmail", it will open. If I open it in gmail and go back to outlook, it is now open. If I open another email in outlook and then go back to the one that does not open. It will not open again.

Does not make sense, does anyone have a "fix" for this problem? Thanks ahead for any suggestions or solutions.

Shortly after my Win10 x64 ver 22H2 update on tuesday 5/13, my Tbird fails to save any sent message with an attachment to the local sent folder. It is sent correctly and saved with attachment in the IMAP server's sent folder. The same message sent with no attachment will correctly be saved to the local sent folder as it should. In both cases the message "saving to sent folder" is displayed. The TB version was just updated to 128.10.2esr (64-bit) and issue continued as before. PC restarts make no difference. SFC system scan finds no issues. Had no issues with this PC & TB over last 5 years until now. Issue is annoying, since I frequently use the local sent folder to forward messages to additional recepients.

Hi I have been used to Thunderbird responding to my beginning to type recipient names with a list of matches. Suddenly it has stopped doing so. I have checked that all my addresses are still present in the Address Book (relief!), but I note that the Contacts sidebar is completely empty (even the Address Book options are missing). I can't find a setting to correct this, and would be very grateful to know how to revert to the previous good performance. Thanks

unable to send emails, "the message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.alburyathletics.com timed out

Thunderbird opens okay, but does not check for new emails. If you press it to manually trigger a refresh - it does not react. It just constantly says DONE in the bottom left hand corner

Thunderbird(TB) gets mail from Hotmail, my own domain, and gmail. I've use and auto-updated this program for the past 20 years. This is the first major problem I've had. Nothing has changed, ie: updates, new programs, or the like.

TB has stopped retrieving new mail since 05.12.2025. I can send mail but not receive mail. ALL settings are correct. I can go to the original sites individually and all the mail is there. Obviously I can send and receive mail on those sites, but TB will only send mail not receive it. The only thing I have not done is uninstall/reinstall.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

hi 大家好， 我用的是thunderbird115，imap协议收入邮件。我发现我的thunderbird 位置文件夹非常的大有565GB，但是我的邮件占用服务器的空间却只有40GB。我查看了我的配置文件夹里的内容，发现有很多名字为nstmp-数字的文件，有几十个，这些文件大量的占用了我的硬盘空间。想问问这些nstmp文件有什么作用，能不能删除他们，删除他们会对邮件有什么影响吗？谢谢大家。

Whole thing running very slowly. Keeps trying to compact folders, Inbox I think,. Have about 88 000 messages in Inbox. Could just delete older ones, say older than a year. Any simple way of doing that?

I couldn't get emails to download from server. This began 2-3 days ago, for no apparent reason. I got 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've never made any changes to the default program, so 'something' (maybe new update?) caused this problem (to my TB & and hubby's TB!) I tried to delete a LOT of emails and compact the file, but TB froze and I can't continue to compact, and CANNOT EXIT the program to try to restart. There's no way to try to fix this as long as I can't get TB to respond.

Interestingly, both my hubby and I had the same problem and it began during the same time period. We both have Windows 10/11. To try to fix his TB email, I deleted 5000+ emails, set the system to retain only the last 150-200 emails, and then was able to COMPACT the file. This seemed to magically return the email to its previous working order, and all current emails were downloaded. (Fingers crossed that this will still work properly when he checks email later today; others have said the problem returned.)

However - I'm not able to use the same 'fixes' to get MY TB to load email. I tried to delete a lot of emails and then 'compact', but it FROZE - showing this message: "Compact folders (Not responding) Thunderbird needs to do regular file maintenance to improve the performance of your mail folders. This will recover 685 MB of disk space without changing your messages. To let Thunderbird do this automatically in the future without asking, check the box below before choosing ‘Compact now’. " I can't get TB to recover the 685MB of disk space because it won't respond to anything.

I'm stuck. I hope someone can help. I checked some possible fixes via the community, and threw up my hands in despair when many of them needed 3-5 pages of instructions to complete the task! Help please? Thanks in advance.

Following the latest update (may 20, 2025) When any message is deleted, the entire inbox becomes empty until the program is closed and reopened. (then they all reappear). I am running windows 11. Thanks for any help
