After deleting an email (GMAIL) from any folder and emptying Trash, the email is still in "All Mail". Deleting from "All Mail" and emptying Trash still leaves the email in "All Mail" - in fact, selecting the email to be deleted in "All Mail" and then selecting "Delete" causes them to disappear and then reappear. This used to work correctly. Using !39.0.1 64 bit version. Note: I recently had to reinstall Thunderbird after a systems issue - causing me to reinstall Windows 11 and noticed the problem after that. It might be that the GMAIL "Trash" folder has been linked to "All Mail". I can delete the emails by signing on to GMAIL on the web and deleting them that way.

I have an old Thunderbird account that is no longer active but I have a huge archive of emails that I would like to be able to access. Thunderbird takes up a huge amount of space on my nearly full C drive because of this. Is it possible for me to save the archive on my D (data) drive and just have the program on my C drive. And how can I back them up. Thanks!

When I send an image the image appears in my email, naturally. When I get a response to that email, the image is not included. It shows up as follows.

This has changed and I don't know why. Is there a setting or a way to have them included in the return email. Thanks.

I recently updated Thunderbird to Nebula v139.0 and now my "Recent Destinations" list is not saving all my folders in its list after moving / copying emails to the destination folder I selected. It seems that the "Recent Destinations" list is only saving (or maybe just displaying) folders with names beginning with "A" - "N". If I move an email to a folder with its name beginning with "O" - "Z", the email will be moved to the appropriate / selected folder, but the folder (destination) name will NOT appear in the "Recent Destinations" list.

I've recently had reason to try to clean up my email, particularly getting rid of defunct email accounts. However I wanted to save the emails themselves, so was going to move them to an archive under Local Folders.

Unfortunately, I'm finding that a lot of emails from these old accounts (as well as some emails in folders of my still active accounts) cannot be read in Thunderbird. The header information shows up in the view panel (from address, subject, date, etc), but the contents of the email do not display (the preview window is entirely blank), and attempting to copy the email fails.

I've dug into the profile directory and found the underlying Inbox file that stores the email, and all the emails are there. They just can't seem to be read or manipulated by Thunderbird for some reason. Also, if I try to View Source on the email, I just get a blank window.

In most cases, the unreadable emails are from 2012 or earlier, although not all such old emails are unreadable. Some are HTML, some are plain text, and other emails of both HTML and text variety work fine. I haven't found any obvious correlation in the problem.

I'm on 128.11 esr. The accounts used POP, and the emails are stored locally.

Any help on this issue is appreciated.

Hello - I have 2 Thunderbird accounts supported by gmail. A recent issue has occurred that I cannot seem to resolve. Both accounts are active and accessible on my Android cell phone. Only 1 account is now accessible on my laptop. I have tried all available solutions to get Google to "recognize" this second account but no success. My last email received via laptop Thunderbird was May 1. Any suggestions? Thanks very much, Jim

Just today, not able to send or receive emails (google mail). Trying to send gives an error: 'Send failed. Peer's certificate... invalid signature'. Receiving is silent - just no downloading. Google's web client works ok.

Not aware of anything changing. Thunderbird is up to date (128.11.0esr (64-bit)). Windows 11.

I've not changed any settings ( still SSL/ OAuth2)

any help much appreciated. thanks Gordon

Imported mail from Desktop to phone (No Problem) Now I just need to know where the inboxes are for each of my three accounts. It shows Outbox and unified inbox, which I have disabled as I oly want to see each individual inbox. On the phones home screen, the Thunderbird icon has a number three on it. How do I get to see the three emails?

I have been using Thunderbird for years and have never had any problems; unfortunately, from few days, every time I try to download my mail, thunderbird starts downloading all my 15,000 emails, even though they have already been downloaded and read. I am desperate... I don't know what to do. Please help me... thanks!

I tried to use the Thunderbird Import function but it won't allow me to tick the Calendar function. If I can't import my calendar from my outlook program then I can't use Thunderbird. Very frustrating.

Incoming e-mails do not always appear in the inbox when they arrive. They always do appear but there are often delays, sometimes of a few minutes, sometimes of several hours, and sometimes of many hours. At the end of the delay they always do appear, with the time at which they were sent indicated, even though that time is earlier than the time at which they appear in my inbox. I have sometimes sent e-mails to myself, as tests -- and these are also often delayed for five or ten minutes. I am not aware of any actions that I take that precipitates either the start or the end of the delay.

I recently started using Thunderbird to back up my emails, but I accidentally forgot to remove the Delete emails after transfer checkmark and all the emails on the original server (Yahoo Mail) were deleted.

I contacted Yahoo, but it seems impossible here, so is there any way to revert it on the Thunderbird side?

In the meantime, we are working on restoring the necessary emails from Thunderbird by forwarding them again.

After the last update to version 129 my e-mail account crashed because of incompatiblity with Eule (May 28). I had to reinstall Thunderbird from an older version and reconfigure the E-mail account (and was offline for some time).

I use the desktop version of thunderbird for my EarthLink email and after being endlessly frustrated with the EarthLink mobile app, would like to start using the Thunderbird app instead. I went through the steps to export my settings from the desktop version using the QR code. New messages are coming in, but I can't see any of the older messages on the desktop version. Is there a setting or way I can see these on the app on my phone?

I m trying to set up as my third email in thunderbird an account which is mickel@embarqmail.com. It sets up using the manual settings following their server instruction fine. But it will not accept my password. I know it is correct because I can log in on their webmail site. What can I do? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
