I'm having problems with my default email account in thunderbird which might have started with the 28/10 update. Most times when I open TB the default account has no folders (inbox, spam, etc). To get them to appear I have to restart it. At other times it has all the folders present and all expanded including archives. When I can access my inbox the sort order is always by date descending so the oldest email is at the top which I don't want. If I click it to set it to ascending order it sets back to descending the next time I open TB. I've tried repairing the inbox but it makes no difference.

Wenn ich im Terminkalender einen Termin neu eintrage oder bearbeite erschnt ein Bearbeitungsfenster. Darin sind alle Eintragungen weiß auf schwarzem Hintergrund (OK).

Nur im Teilbereich "Beschreibung" erscheint seit einigen Wochen der Text schwarz auf schwarzem Hintergrund und ist daher nicht lesbar. Erst wenn dieser Text markiert wird, erscheint er gut lesbar weiß auf blauem Hintergrund.

Wie kann ich die Schriftfarbe hier wieder zu weiß auf schwarzem Hintergrund ändern?

Since yesterday , Thursday 29th October. Thunderbird has only been displaying the "Inbox" for my account, no emails are visible in it and all of the directories including the deleted emails directory and spam directory are absent. I have Windows 11 installed. I am using the IMAP server for incoming email and have checked that all the settings are correct. My account displays no incoming emails but can send emails. The directories are still absent when running Trouble shooter and the inbox is still empty. In the Account Settings - Server Settings I tested connection to the server and it said secure connection made - this worked for both outgoing and incoming servers. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird but the issue persists. Although I do not change any settings the full set of directories will occasionally appear along with some emails and then seconds later disappear again. My email account is working fine on my phone and tablet using gmail.

I have used Thunderbird for years but now I am getting frustrated. I have 2 spam folders that randomly put valid emails into them and I have normal folks sending me emails that either go to spam or directly to trash. How do I totally reset this program to start over again for normal use? Thanks, Vern

Thunderbird does not download SPAM until I open the spam folder

This is an existing TB account installed on a new pc, and somehow I failed to copy the spam list across. So for the next few weeks it has to learn all over again. And at the moment there are a lot of false positives.

So when I click on the spam folder it takes some time for all the messages to download. I'd like them to download automatically, so when I click on the spam folder the messages are all there waiting for me

Yes it's IMAP

Either Thunderbird filter function is extremely buggy, or there is something that I don't understand ... Some filters work pretty fine (though not always reliable) for years, an then suddenly they stop working. E.g. I have a filter (see screen shot) that's supposed to move all eMails with senders that are not in one of my Cardbooks to a special folder (Prüfen) and tag them.

This filter worked for many years - well let's say fairly. About 50% of the Mails that applied to the filter rules were marked and moves correctly, 50% wasn't. And about 10% of the Mails marked and moved didn't meet the rules ... Seemed to be some timeout problem, because when applied manually it did what it should.

Since the last update the filter doesn't work at all, when new messages are downloaded. If I apply the filter manually it marks all Mails, regardless of the rules - and it doesn't move any of them ....

It's a rat race ... I already thought of deleting all filters in Thunderbird and do all the filtering on the Mail-Server. But unfortunately the filter functions of my provider are rather limited. Now I'm wondering: Should I change my Provider, or rather my eMail-Client or both of them? It's really frustrating ...

Over the past couple of days, I've discovered new mail in my inbox but the new mail icon (with the red dot) doesn't show in the system tray.

I get notifications of new mail, which is fine if I'm sitting at the computer. But the icon in my system tray doesn't change, so I never know if mail has arrived while I was away.

I've tried everything - both in Thunderbird settings and Windows system tray settings - and nothing is making a difference.

Is this happening to anyone else? Might it be a bug?

In Thunderbird I selected all of the emails in a folder that is stored under the "Local Folders" section of my account right clicked then selected Organise/ Archive. All of the emails disappeared slowly and now I can not see any of them. There is no "Archive" folder under the "Local Folders" section in thunderbird , so I do not know how to recover these emails? Can you please advise. Thanks

I have several email accounts with 1&1 (Germany). Up until now, they have worked perfectly via Thunderbird. As of this morning, however, it no longer accepts any of my passwords. If I try logging in via the 1&1 webmail interface instead, everything works fine.

After receiving a message to an email address, for which I have configured an auto-responder using the "Reply to Template" filter, I get the following message in the error console:

``` sendRemoveListener on closed conduit {8821E3B3-E8FB-40E2-95E9-EC40294818C4}.126 ConduitsChild.sys.mjs:122:13

Template message is saved in the same account the incoming email is sent to.

Any ideas ... ?

Hello: I recently migrated a large Thunderbird installation on a Linux laptop to my Windows 11 laptop(Thunderbird 15.0). I followed the directions to copy the profile folder and was very happy it seemed to work well. All the old emails are there and I can send/receive new emails. I am unable to see all images inline when viewing an email in the message pane. It seems this applies to some images with links. I've searched the community a few times and tried several options but it hasn't helped. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

I am trying to migrate from Microsoft Outlook 2021 to Mozilla Thunderbird. I have successfully imported the email from a number of different email accounts. I would now like to import the archived emails held in a number of PST files. The import tool would seem to be what is required, but it does not seem to allow me to select the PST files that I wish to import. I am concerned that it will try to import all email messages from my Outlook 2021. Is there a way of restricting it to just individual PST files?

i sometimes send email using gmail app on mobile devices. the gmail web application shows those sent messages with the gmail sent label. Those messages dont sync up in thunderbird on my windows pc, under the gmail smtp account using the same user name. email sent from thunderbird does show up in the gmail sent folder. How to get sent email synced up between devices?

Following a Thunderbird update (I think it was 2 updates ago) it changed the behaviour of the description field in the new events window. I use thunderbird in a dark screen mode, and everything works perfectly, except when I try to type something into that description window. I'm now tying black (intead of white) on an almost black background. It's virtually impossible to see anything I'm trying to type. All the other fields are typing fine, white on black. If I open an entry on my calander now, it's fine, apart from that description field, which is also displaying text as black on black. It's also the same if I reopen the entry for editing. I had hoped the next update was going to correct this anomally, but it didn't. Is anyone aware of / reported this issue? Will it be fixed in the next update? Thank you for looking at this. Oh, nearly forgot, when I highlight the black on black text by clicking and dragging (prep for cut / copy & paste) the black text actually shows up as white text on a blue background whilst the field is 'live' moving onto something else, the text remains withe on a grey background. Hope this helps.

It is the second time. I received a message from Thunderbird asking me to introduce the passwords (several accounts), I gave the passwords and mails were coming in. This time there is no request from Thundebird.
