I have setup Thunderbird to check for e-mail each 30 minutes. But I never get any notifications of any new mails :-( And mails are only downloaded when I start the app and swipe down. Folders are setup to sync (but "push" is not enabled). Power settings are set to "Optimized" (works for all other apps that check for things).

Android 13. Just installed Thunderbird 9.0 to use with my new email account. I can send and receive (IMAP) emails OK. However there is no notification anywhere that I have a new email, even after waiting an hour or 2. I need this before I change to the new email.

I have searched here and elsewhere, found various suggestions but none have worked for me.

If you can help, please write clearly- most of the stuff I have read is in Android-speak which I don't understand. Thanks.

Is there any way to import email addresses from one particular subfolder in Thunderbird?

I did a Google search for this and it looks as though it is currently importing ALL emails but I want to gather a particular group of clients together so that I can email them.

I would then like to do the same for a different target group, the emails of which I keep in a separate subfolder. I just don't know how to ask Google, without it being too wordy!

Any help much appreciated.

I thank you 😊

I have just started using [and donated to], Thunderbird on this newer PC. However, I cannot reply to emails, getting an error message stating that the sending failed because the SMTP server timed out. This happens even if I type just one letter as a reply and hit send. I have been using Thunderbird for a couple of years on my other recalcitrant PC, and have never had this problem. I have checked and all settings are exactly the same on both computers, same security programs, everything. Some internet articles say that it could be the security system, I disabled that, but the problem persists. What is going on? So naturally, if I need to reply to you, I will have to use the other computer, which randomly shuts down at inopportune times. Regards, Theo Beeltje.

Last week I moved some archived folders containing emails into the deleted folder and was horrified to discover all the emails within the folders had been deleted. Not once did any box pop up warning me this would happen if I continued. I had only just moved to Thunderbird as mu partner recommended it as I was getting fed up with BT and Outlook. Whenever I have deleted things in the past on over sites a message always pops up to warn or ask if you're sure you want to delete these messages as they will be permanently deleted. It seems strange that the folders are all there but all their contents have been deleted. The folders were dragged and dropped into the deleted box. I've tried various ways to try and find them and retrieve them but to no avail. Going forward it would be good to have a warning message to pop up to warn you. I guess these emails are now gone for good?

When I try to delete a message from my inbox I get a message which says "cannot comlete this task because another operation is using this folder" how do i solve this ?

Can you please help me in composing a message, specifically, changing the line spacing? As I type, I may choose a different font which may require me to choose a different line spacing, either bigger or smaller for readability and aesthetic purposes. Thanks!

I am not receiving all emails sent to me. I am trying to get support for a problem logging in to one of my accounts, they send me emails but I never receive them. Not in Inbox or Spam or Suspect. Sending email address is not blocked. I can receive emails from their Level 1 support but not from Level 2.

Also I sent an email from a gmail account & never received it.

On my desktop app I also don't get my most recent emails unless I close Thunderbird & restart it.

When it restarts it displays: No message found then latest messages are displayed. This started about a week ago.

trying to copy tb profile from a win 10 to a new win 11. admin name is different and quick copy won't work and export/import doesn't work. need to edit the search string to find target file. can that be done or open to suggestions.

In reply messages, Thunderbird (macos 128.10) adds an indent to the subject line in the pane view. When the thread is very long the subject disappears because of the successive indents. Is there a way to remove these indents by default? Thanks in advance. Gérald

Receiving login to server mail.kieselbark.com with username info@kieselbark.com failed. I’m not really sure what else to do here. I just purchased this business and I changed the password but can’t see login anymore. Please help.

I'm using Thunderbird (128.10.0esr) with an Office 365 environment. Normally I'd be using Outlook, but I'm trying to get TB to work so that I can use some of the plugins to help clean the mailbox up.

We use MFA on O365 but, the setup and access itself seems to of gone fine. The mailbox does have a large number of folders (very large).

The main problems I'm hitting is that :

1) Not all of the folders are getting subscribed to. If I refresh the list, I can see all the folders.. I can even select them (though thats a painful process in TB, even with Shift-select). But once I've selected them - not all of them actually get subscribed. I seem to of now gotten to a point where maybe 50% of them are subscribed, the others are not even though I've tried selecting them several times.

There's no error coming out from TB that I can see.. Sometimes it'll sit there and say it's opening a folder.. Other times it seems to say its doing nothing at all (the activity monitor shows nothing).

2) Some folders are subscribed to that I definitely don't want, and I can't seem to unsubscribe them. Eg "Calendar". If I deselect that Folder, the status bar tells me it's unsubscribing but then nothing happens. The folder doesn't disappear either. Inside that folder there's 100s of "Retrieval using the IMAP4 protocol failed for the following message".. that repeats and grows on each get-new-messages.

I can imagine its some incompatibility between O365 and TB.. but where would I find a log of what it's failing on.. How do I get it to stop polling folders it shouldn't ? That seems to be issues on the TB side of things.

Searching the forums here I find lots of threads similar but not with answers, and surprisingly not too many about O365.

A task has been finished in the gmail-calendar. The entry-stub in the Thunderbird tasklist remains and can't be closed or deleted. It always says "the entry was altered on the server and all changes on the server might be lost, when you proceed".

I recently upgraded to a Pixel 9a from a Pixel 8a. If I want to forward or create a new email message I cannot type a name in the To: area my contact list doesn't exist or display any of my contacts. What do I need to do to get access to my contacts?

Hi, I've just installed thunderbird on my Android. I thought I could install add-ons like on desk version 😇. Are they available or I just can't find it? I'm looking particularly for Mail merge. Thank you for your answer and all what you do... Meta

I am running Thunderbird under RedHat. If I start Thunderbird using a specified profile (e.g., -P a1), it is displayed and fully functional using the settings for that profile. If I want to auto-compose a message, an application trigger will start another instance of Thunderbird with the same profile (a1) and the "-compose <compose args>" argument. This also works fine; I can select an addressee in the newly-generated message window, hit 'Send', and sent message appears on the original Thunderbird Sent folder.

I need to run these within Docker containers. Scripts have been developed to support this and populate the container as needed. Thunderbird runs and functions normally within the container; messages are sent/received normally. However, when I try to launch another instance using the "-compose <args>" argument within the container, I get "Thunderbird is already running or not responding". If I do NOT have the first Thunderbird instance running, the "-compose" instance works normally; I can address and send the email. However, this forces me to close the main window everytime I want to auto-compose a message.

It almost feels like the two Thunderbird instances are not communicating within the Docker container. Would appreciate any help/suggestions/debugging approach.

Thunderbird version: 115.7.0 (I have no control over the version in use)

Til tider kan jeg ikke hente mails i Thunderbird. Jeg anvender heden5@c.dk via yuosee. Alt er opdateret og alle kontoindstillinger er korrekte. Alligevel sker der det, at i perioder modtager jeg ikke mails. Der kan gå en time eller to dage, så virker det pludseligt igen uden, at jeg har foretaget mig noget som helst eller computeren har været anvendt overhovedet. Det har nu stået på et års tid.
