Dear Support Team, I am using Thunder bird nebula 128.4 3esr (64bit) From last two days I am facing an issue opening new mails and running filters. New mails are taking around 6 secs to get open or preview the content. The application freezes till the process is complete.

I tried Inbox Repair, Thunderbird /safe and disable add-on options. But issue remained the same in all the scenario.

Please let me know, what could be done to fix the issue.

Hello,

Recently I opened Thunderbird and it automatically added the following folders to my account:

https://www.imagebam.com/view/MEX6LYC

All the generic yellow folders below the Deleted trash can icon suddenly appeared and they weren't there or weren't shown before. I right-mouse clicked on the account folder, went to Subscribe, unticked the folders that I don't want to subscribe to (all the yellow ones were there), restarted Thunderbird and they all still appeared and the boxes I unchecked, had just rechecked themselves.

I don't want them shown. Is there anyway to fix this?

Thanks

I'm having issue with my hosting providers outbound spam filter, its marking some of my emails as spam and blocking them. They are using mailchannels.com . I've sent them a support request but just checking if this is a known issue . Also is there anything I can do to understand the issue. My hosting provider has mentioned previously they have said: "message-id not passing properly" I'm not entirely sure what that means.

thanks

since version 12, getting new mail in the inbox fails many times due to: checking server possibilities and then time-out on reaching server. Only on thuntherbird email server. No problem with other email programs. Many other user expierence this.

All of a sudden I am unable to open a url from a Thunderbird message or a secondary one when I am on a site. For example I have a message from a list that says 10 most read stories from xxxx . What used to happen is when I clicked on it I went to the site. I can get onto my frequently used sites but when I click on a link on that site I get nothing. In both cases there is a tab but it stays blank. Nothing happens.bold text

Hello,

Sometime in the past update or maybe the one prior, the ability to scroll through emails or even delete them takes about 2 seconds per key stroke. This makes using the product really difficult.

I have tried troubleshoot mode and it behaves the same way.

Please let me know if I can revert to older version to see if it helps.

Thanks,

Justin

I am having an issue with my email page. They are slow to load and even slower to delete, one at a time or spam list (red highlight). Also doesn't allow some emails to load and they are well know addresses. Any thoughts as to what happened? Thank you, Dean

I am a brand new user....for 2 days. Converting from Outlook.

How do I import my kids schedules from GameChanger and Sports Engine? I'm trying to add a new account, then I put the link provided by each platform, and then it asks me for a password. I have no idea what password it's asking me to provide?

I really need these calendars to sync in order for this to be the place for my life to be organized!

Additionally, my daughter's volleyball team created a Google Calendar and shared it with us. How do I sync that?

Thank you in advance for any help.

It's been a week now and Thunderbird still isn't working 100%. I managed to install one of my email accounts ( Talktalk ) with no issues but it still not working properly. I can't ad my Hotmail email and all my log in details are correct. The problem is I never get the dialogue box which gives you options all I get is a small white box with a cross and that's it ! I just don't get a choice to do anything and I think this is why I can't install my Hotmail email account. The options box may be asking for an 0Auth2 code but I can't see it so I'm assuming there is an issue with the Thunderbird app ! I have a Chromebook and have installed Thunderbird about 25 times using Linux but always end up with the same problem ! Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Sometime this afternoon (15 Nov 2024 GMT) T'bird starting downloading almost messages going back to 11:33am on 6 March 2019. My inbox has either a read and unread version of each email, or two unread if I hadn't read the original. Some are not duplicated, but I haven't yet been able to discern a pattern.

This is POP.

T'bird version is now 128.4.3esr (32-bit). I just updated in the hope that there might be a fix in there. The previous version was 128.4.1esr I think. Certainly very recent.

Running on Windows 11.

Two questions: 1) how do I stop this happening? 2) is there a way I can selectively delete all the dupes?

This behavior started a week or so ago, and then stopped. Unfortunately, I found it to be quite a productivity improvement and would like it back. Can anyone:

- explain why it started
- explain why it stopped
- explain how I can make it permanent?

While there are over 90 emails on the Comcast server so far this morning, only 1 has been downloaded. I tried repairing the folders but no change. While I can save chunks of email on the server, my import of a zip file of them is not working. This has continued to be a problem for over 48 hours. I am using Thunderbird 128.4.3 under Windows 11 Pro 23H2.

I can see notifications of emails downloading from the server but nothing is posted on my machine. This process repeats each time I start up Thunderbird but no new emails are accessible, either from Comcast or Gmail. Emails are coming in fine on my iPhone but not on to my ThinkPad where I download and store them off the Comcast server.

Two days ago there were thousands of past emails on the server going back to earlier this year but they are all gone now. I have found it impossible to access Comcast's technical support for their help in solving this problem.

I am rebuilding the global-messages database which was over 7 gigabytes in size. Should I remove the account and reinstall it? Any suggestions?

Thank you for your consideration

Hello,

I've used the desktop client on Linux for quite a while now and I'm pretty happy with it but when it comes to mobile, Gmail is the main app. Today, I downloaded the Thunderbird Android app and tried the export from desktop to mobile feature. I had 2 QR codes but only the first one worked. That was a bit heart breaking.

The first issue is this; the desktop client allows for on-the-fly email alias creation (directly in the From field) and it's smart enough to reply with an on-the-fly alias (no related identity). This one feature of the hundreds available is the only real reason Thunderbird is quite valuable on the desktop.

This feature (on-the-fly aliases) is not available on Android. Will this change? Please consider adding it as a feature? Maybe try to make the "From" field also editable rather than only choosing from a list of identities?

The second issue is, "Manage Folders". I could not find a way to create a folder and I looked pretty hard. I feel like its there and maybe I'm just old, stupid or both. But after almost 10 minutes looking for a way to add a folder, I just failed and gave up.

Is creating new folders on Android possible at the moment?

In summary. Thunderbird on Android. On-the-fly email aliases (new and replies) is a pretty big deal, is this on a todo? And, is creating new folders possible and if not, is this on a todo?

PS. I thank the Thunderbird team for the Android app. It's fast and responsive and although Gmail is still unfortunately required on Android, I'm really looking forward to Thunderbird winning here.

Today I noticed a new problem on my MacBook Pro. I selected a group of messages and tried to move them to a new folder using drag and drop. No matter how many or how few I select, only one email is moved. I tried a few different actions and noticed that similarly I can only delete one email at a time. All actions on a multiple selection are only being operated on one item. I've tried closing and reopening Thunderbird and rebooting the computer. I have moved emails in this manor countless times in the past with no problem.

Previously the yellow banner with the text "To protect your privacy, Thunderbird has blocked remote content in this message" had an Options button which allowed me to click "show remote content" or allow subdomains to permanently show remote content. That options button is now missing, and there's only a X button to close the warning banner.

My Privacy settings has "Allow remote content in message" unchecked and there are no Exceptions. On mobile Thunderbird I can still "show remote images" successfully.

Hi

Could we get a tool to lock folders in Thunderbird ? Or a warning before moving folders with drag and drop.

Pretty much what https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/disable-draganddrop-tb-v2/ is probably doing - I'm just a bit worried to use addons that requires a permission: "Have full, unrestricted access to Thunderbird, and your computer"

I think this would be a welcome addition to many, especially those whom use IMAP like Gmail to use their mail account. If you accidentally drag a folder into another it can result a huge mess.

At the very least there should be an optional feature to get a warning message "Are you sure you wish to move this folder ..."

Thank you so much for this awesome software. I've used Firefox probably a few decades already .. and now Thunderbird too. Love it!
