Thunderbird Community Forum

I keep my mail (both sent and received) in local mail folders. My server is gmail, and sent mail is put in gmail's sent folder by default. Every few months, I copy those messages to a local folder, and after I back them up, I delete the server copy.

What to my dismay, I discovered today that only the message headers, and not the messages were present in the local folder, though they had been when downloaded. Looking at the file sizes, I found the sent file to be 0 Kb, and sent.msf 255 Kb, when sent should have been around 60 Kb long.

I have been able to restore the messages from backup (whew!), but I have no idea how then sent file was wiped out. I know I did not do it.

Has anyone else had this happen? Is there a preventive measure I should take?

RE: How to turn OFF message preview when I single-click on message?

When in TB message list, and selecting a message for an operation by making a single-click on the message, the selected message opens. When using CNTL key to select several messages together for an operation, each of the messages opens an individual preview pane. I have searched TB's knowledgebase, but apparently no other users have this problem.

I've noticed that if I attach a file to an outgoing message then use ctrl+enter to send the message, Thunderbird also opens the attachment. How can I prevent it from doing the latter?

I'm using TB 150.0.2 on a Mac with the latest update of MacOS.

I just deleted all of my archived emails, thinking it was stuff that I had sent to trash. I.e. I deleted all archives, then emptied trash. Only after I did that did I realize that I had deleted things I want to save.

I'm pretty sure there's no way to undo emptying the trash, but I use Time Machine to back up. If I open time machine and go to the most recent back-up, I should be able to get everything back, right?

What folder (or folders) should I restore from a Time Machine back-up?

For some reason since reinstalling my Thunderbird every time I try to sen e-mail I get the error "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <SantoshS1@vbeyond.com>: Recipient address rejected: Access denied. Please check the message recipient "SantoshS1@vbeyond.com" and try again.

They are perfectly valid addresses, as they are generated using Reply. This did not happen before I was forced to reinstall from scratch. I suspect it may be some sort of issue with my account configuration in Thunderbird, as I had to recreate that.

Hi,

On one of my accounts I have an enabled filter for incoming messages consisting of a Tag + Copy + Delete (see screenshot) When a new message arrives, the filter is executed TWICE (see screenshot of the log) , the copied message arrives TWICE at the destination (once tagged, once NOT tagged). In the deleted folder of the source there is only one message.

What might be gong on ? Why is the filter executed twice ?

PS : I also tried Tag + Move instead of Tag + Copy + Delete

Okay, so how to be simple. I kept getting a pop-up from Comcast about a latest promotion and it wouldn't go away. I spoke to Comcast about their ridiculous pop-up promotion, it was coming through my Thunderbird email client. That may be taken care of. But in the meantime I tried to delete my main Thunderbird account, I must have done so and now I can't get it back! I've tried everything! I was using an IMAP account, and for my incoming I had imap.comcast.net. For my outgoing I had stmp.comcast.net and the ports were 993 and 587 I believe. Please don't quote me on this. So when I try to create a new email account using the same information I keep getting an "Authorization Error" each and every time!

So....since and while writing this email, the Comcast pop-up continues to pop up, and I still cannot reset my email account. Talk about a frustration level at this point! I would like to keep my Thunderbird email account minus the stupid Comcast pop-up. I just don't know what to do. Please help from anyone who can!

Thanks,

Michael....

Twice in one week a complete wipeout of all my accounts and emails, hours spent restoring my information after the first update, now a second one, do you do not care about the users of this product? and you wonder why you don't get donations when you wipe out everything and give NO instructions on how to avoid all this. Where is the version hidden?

I have moved my Thunderbird data from drive C:\xxx\Thunderbird to N:\xxx\Thunderbird. The Thunderbird program remains on "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird" How do I tell Thunderbird to find its data on the N: drive?

     Thank you,    Art Lieberman

I'm on a new Windows 11 desktop with two monitors. Everything's been working just fine up until around 26th April (two weeks ago) when the native Thunderbird new mail notifications started appearing in my second monitor, rather than my main display. I had made no changes at all myself.

I've been through all the fixes suggested via Google (toggling the displays; checking Windows notification settings), but none of those fixes have made any difference. I switched to using Windows system notifications for a while, but I really don't like them.

Might this be something in a Thunderbird update itself? It just doesn't seem to be detecting the primary monitor at all. All my other app notifications continue to show on the primary display.

Has anyone else encountered this or have any other solutions I could try?

Thanks, Averill

Thunderbird Only Provides My E-Mails of the past two or three Weeks on my mobile phone and on my Laptop. Die Older Mails kann online be accesssed on the Vodafone Webpage. How can I synchronise My Account?

I am trying to re-install THUNDERBIRD I have done this several times before but Google is causing problems When I reenter my Name email address and password Thunderbird finds the email but then it takes me to google and I have to click allow but then it takes me back to the email install and then tells me it cannot find the Email address with the settings

THE SAME SETTINGS IN FOUND 1 MINUTE EARLIER

I have 2 email addresses and it does the same with both so Thunderbird does not now work on a Computer that I have used Thunderbird for Years

Ever since one of the recent updates, my new email notification box is showing up on wrong monitor. I have a 2 monitor setup, the notification box is now showing up on the second monitor. I have tried turning the option off and back on but makes no difference.
