My inbox shows only 3 unread emails, but the total for the folder shows 32. If I use filter for 'attachment emails' it displays 12 emails but not the unread ones. I have played with the filters and it will only display 3 unread and if selected 12 attachment emails. I have two accounts on thunderbird email client on Win 11 and the other one is fine, this one only started to have the display issues over the last week. I have compared all the settings for both accounts and they are the same (except for addresses). How can i get the inbox to show all 32 emails

In Thunderbird, I have several email folder names that were changed, and I also created new folders, but I cannot see them after restarting Thunderbird. How do I get these folders back? In the past, I have gone to the server of my email provider and fixed this sort of issue there. This time I have not been as successful. How do I get my missing email folders back?

Grouping emails is awesome. Also have the preview show a bunch of compressed email info when a group is selected. However if the group contains only one email nothing is previewn. Is this a bug or a feature?

Thunderbird Message Filters Here are the problems (nothing corrected in newer versions-since forever) Each time the app is closed and reopened, or Shutdown and restarted one or more of the following has occurred : “Message Filters“-main page 1) “Run selected filters on:” (folder dropped or changed) 2) "Enabled" Marks are dropped “Filter Rules” page 1) “Move messages to:” Folders are dropped Help! rb

Hallo,

ich benutze Thunderbird 154.0 unter Windows 11 Pro, aktuelle Updates. Seit geraumer Zeit bekam ich die Meldung, dass Ordner Posteingang nicht komprimiert werden kann, weil er ungültige Daten enthält. Das habe ich heute abgeklemmt, indem ich die automatische Komprimierung abgeschaltet habe. Danach war eigentlich alles gut und ich hätte besser nichts mehr machen sollen. Aber dann entdeckte ich den Button "Ordner reparieren". Nachdem ich den geklickt habe, werden mir im Posteingang keine Mails mehr angezeigt, Anzahl = 0, Größe auf Datenträger jedoch 2,3 GB. Die Daten scheinen noch vorhanden zu sein, nur die Anzeige scheitert. Im Papierkorb sind die vermissten Mails auch nicht zu finden. Alle anderen Ordner sind inhaltlich ok. Ich habe eine 5 Tage alte Sicherung, die ich auf einem anderen Windows-11-Rechner mit frischer Thunderbird-Installation eingespielt habe. Leider zeigt sich dort nun das identische Problem. Hat jemand eine Idee?

Viele Grüße Peter

I wish to have a non American email client, but most free ones have a 1GB limit. Can I set Thunderbird to save all emails to my home PC so that if I delete the email in the email client, it is still saved on my home PC? So far I have not downloaded or installed Thunderbird, so just asking if it is posible, if so I will install Thunderbird.

Hi, Hoping I can get some help here, I couldn't find an answer in the search topics.

I have lost a few local subfolders. First the subfolders lost the emails contained in them and then the subfolders themselves disappeared.

I renamed the main folder just removing the year from the folder name and not long after that the above happened.

I have tried the following:

• Searching the help topics • Searching the forum • Closing reopening Thunderbird • I removed .msf files and restarted Thunderbird

I am not sure what I can do now.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Within the past day or so, which means 7-18-26 or later, some of my email messages on thunderbird for my pc have a "From" description that is not correct. I look at the messages, and the "From" is entirely different than the "From" description when looking at the email message list. I have never encountered this problem before. I'm using thunderbird 152.0.1 64-bit on my pc.

I bought a new computer and want to transfer my emails, calendar and anything else to start using Thunderbird and lightning. I don't want to lose any information. I hope it will be seamless as I use it for business. Both Computers are Dell Laptop with Ubuntu . I am just really old and not too savvy with tech stuff. Will you help me make the necessary transfers? Ever grateful...Thanks, Frances

When I open up my emails in Thunderbird, it takes hours to open the home page, most of the time it is a blank page/screen. When lucky, I can see my email home page, however, sending and receiving are also very very slow and take long time to send out and receive. I tried to compact folders, but the screen remains blank and loading of my account page never opens thus I am not able to do any edit or change for my email account in Thunderbird.

Can someone help me solve this problem? Kan Cell Phone: [redacted phone# from community support forum]

Put the Thunderbird app for Android on my Samsung Galaxy S7, then tried to add my AOL email account. When I get to the step where Thunderbird asks me to sign in to AOL with my password, I get an error message saying "For account security, the window must be at least 320 x 200. Please resize the window." At this stage of Thunderbird set up, there are no options I can access to resize anything. I also can't tell what version of Thunderbird it is (downloaded about a week ago). Thanks.

Each time I open TBird, I get a message at the bottom left of the screen telling me that TBird has deleted X number of messages. I do not want TBird to ever delete any messages. How do I turn this automatic delete function off?

My SENT messages are missing from my SENT box, which is greyed out. What do I do. Can I get my "sent" messages back?

Thank you

I had a working thunderbird/gmail connection until my main drive went to SSD heaven. Yes, I have current backups but I took the opportunity to move to a Win 11 box so all my data is safe but might be in different places.

I can log into gmail but can not configure thunderbird to do that. The Account Hub does what it is supposed to and all is well up to Password question. The gmail password does not work and I can't remember ever giving thunderbird a password. My mozilla accounts all refer to a domain that I gave up 5 years ago,

Any suggestions would be very appreciated.

Thank you for the advice on copying the Thunderbird folder, which I have done. However, what is failing is the adding of further existing email accounts. I enter the Account name, the email address and the password but I still get Authentication error. I have, after some difficulty, succeeded in adding five accounts with three different hosts. The further accounts I wish to add use two of the hosts of the successful additions.
