How do you create Message Filters (under the same account, of course) for separate folders with only some enabled? ... Rather like a Saved Search, but able to perform actions on the messages matching the filter. Thank You.

I'm running Windows 10 and recently switched from the ESR Channel version (128.11.1) to the Release Channel version (139.0.2) and, since then, have started having a problem where the unread email count displayed on the system tray icon and also the count on the Taskbar icon are no longer correct. Most incoming, unread emails aren't counted. This feature has always worked correctly for me previously, ever since I first installed Thunderbird several years ago. When I go into Thunderbird, the count of unread emails in whatever folder they're in is still correct, the problem is just with the counts on the taskbar and tray icons.

I'm not 100% sure, but I *think* it might be the case that emails which end up in the default "Inbox" folder are added to the counts, but those which are automatically allocated on arrival to other folders on the basis of filter rules aren't being added to the counts displayed on the icons. I have searched for others reporting the same issue and haven't been able to find anything, so it seems unlikely that it's a bug. I'd greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue please.

New update 140.1.0esr broke connection to my AOL verizon email (##@verizon.net) Apparently AOL mail will not accept the password or something. Have tried lots of things (including 2-12 hour chat with AOL mail "tech support"). Exactly same thing on my wife's desktop install. I considered trying to roll back to previous release - but I had both set to not install updated without asking permission. So I assume if it roll it back it's just going to update again without asking for permission. HELP! I've spent at least 6 hours on this already.

Not sure which "topic" best describes my question, so . . . .

OS: Windows 11 Thunderbird 140.1.0esr

I have been using T-bird for several years, and have made to changes to configuration in recent memory. Beginning today, when I try to send an email through my Comcast account, it fails with the following message:

“An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: resomta-h2p-555031.sys.comcast.net resomta-h2p-555031.sys.comcast.net EXMTP server not available.”

The outgoing SMTP server is configured as follows: Outgoing server: smtp.comcast.net Port: 465 Security: SSL/TLS

For comparison, sending email from my Android phone, using the Gmail client with the same server specs, also fails, thought it gives no information.

For more comparison, I configured Outlook to test with it, and it was able to send successfully. I noticed in setting it up that it used the same server name, but with port 587. Armed with that information, I changed the port setting in T-bird to 587. With that change, the send still failed but with a different error:

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.comcast.net was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I'm trying to save several msgs that have .jpg files within them (not attached) I save one by opening it, pressing M + H + Enter + A (to Save).

Can I do this w/out doing it for each msg?

Lots of work now.

Thanks.

If I send myself a recipe from a site on Firefox, I get this message.

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: [VO-1] Message blocked due to spam content in the message.. Please check the message and try again.

been using Thunderbird for years. Old computer runs Windows 10 and will not support 11. New computer running Windows 11. Thunderbird will not link up to my e-mail account. old POP server. Using the exact same credentials, Outlook had no problem linking to my e-mail account. I want to use Thunderbird. Any ideas?

Also, if I can get it going, is there a way to import hundreds of saved emails from Thunderbird on the old computer?

Since last Thunderbird update my sending of email in Thunderbird no longer works. Email provider is AOL and email address ends in @verizon.net ,It is a POP3 config. No problem sending via AOL website. Any ideas to allow Thunderbird send of mail?

The first problem cropped up immediately: Thunderbird has done a pretty good job for years of recognizing my email preferences for Inbox, Trash and Junk; now it no longer delivers email to my Inbox or Trash at startup. Almost all of my email goes to the Junk folder, including that from whitelisted senders. All of my individual spam filters and my whitelist are set to act when email is received, but I have to run the whitelist manually to get it to work (sometimes more than once). The only way I can get things into the Trash folder is to put them there manually, as TB apparently has forgotten everything it learned about my email preferences. I did take the opportunity to update my Whitelist (though to no avail), so I guess I'm sort of glad that I was goaded into doing so. But it hasn't helped.

As of tonight, I can't write or reply to an email or edit an email draft because TB locks up while it is "Copying messages to Drafts..." I've had to close TB ten or twelve times, and I've not been given the opportunity to make a bug comment during the closing routine.

I have emptied the TB cache in hopes that doing so would clear up these issues. Though that works well in Firefox, it didn't help with these problems.

I also am not too happy about the disappearance of the File Edit ... folder bar and its being replaced with a hamburger drop-down menu at the upper right, but at least it will suffice once I've unlearned almost thirty years of doing things a certain way.

I really don't want to stop using Thunderbird. I like the program, and I'd hate to have wasted the two solid weeks it took to get Yahoo! Mail to acknowledge its existence and let me connect to their service, which I did under duress. Not that I'm a masochist or anything.

On Thurs Aug24, TBird stopped recognizing my password for my email server. It stopped downloading new email messages

    Error message= Lgin to server pop.broadban.rogers.com with username summerby@rogers.com failed
     Rogers mail server sends email to my mobile email.

It won't send email...problem with smtp.broadband

After an apparent system-wide aol failure, I can no longer log in to my Thunderbird account. When I open it, the message pops up: "Login to server imap.aol.com with username Leisterr8@verizon.net failed." And it asks for a new password. I looked up my saved passwords and tried to enter them. But that does not work. I don't see how to enter a new password. I am able to log in to my aol.com account with my password. But that does not seem to be the same as the password for the Thunderbird account.

Environment:

• Ubuntu 22.04
• Thunderbird 128.12.0esr

Background:

Yesterday (7/25/2025) Ubuntu ran an auto-update and appears to have updated tbird. At the time this did not affect tbird as it was up and running with the old version of code.

Today (7/26/2025), upon starting tbird and clicking on the Calendar tab tbird goes into 100% cpu utilization.

This issue appears to be related to changes in how recurring events are now listed under Calendar as individual events. For events with no ending date this new 'feature' now generates entries for the next 100 years (eg, 26 July 2025 - 26 July 2125).

Steps I've performed in an attempt to address the 100% cpu utilization issue:

1. shutdown tbird, renamed calendar-data/local.sqlite (effectively erase all calendar events), start tbird, click on Calendar tab ... little/no cpu utilization; great, cpu utilization is back to normal but my calendar is gone
2. shutdown tbird, put calendar-data/local/sqlite back in place, started tbird, do NOT click on Calendar tab, [menu] Events and Tasks -> Export -> saved all calendar events to an external *.ics file; shutdown tbird, renamed calendar-data/local.sqlite (effectively erase all calendar events), start tbird, [menu] events and Tasks -> "Import" -> import all (202) calendar events from the *.ics file; tbird goes into 100% cpu utilization for about 5 minutes and then becomes unresponsive
3. repeat of previous bullet up until the Import step; at this point I imported a single recurring event (happens once a month with no end date); tbird successfully imported the 1 recurring event and upon clicking on the Calendar tab ... I'm presented with 1200 individual event entries -> once a month up through July 2125
4. upon creating 1 event that repeats on a daily basis, tbird goes into 100% cpu utilization for a few seconds while it generates more than 36,500 individual events (up through July 2125) under the Calendar tab

At this point it appears (to me) that tbird's 100% cpu utilization and unusable UI is related to tbird having a hard time managing my 202 calendar events (most of which are recurring events - mostly monthly but there are several daily and weekly events, too).

This latest update of tbird is unusable!

Please rollback this behavior of expanding recurring events into individual events, or at a minimum give us a setting that keeps tbird from expanding recurring events into individual entries under the Calendar tab.

In the meantime, since tbird is running in a virtual machine, I'm rolling back to a previous snapshot and disabling Ubuntu's automatic updates of tbird software.

When I double click on an email in my inbox, a new reply email is being displayed with a yellow message across the bottom saying:

   "A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and settings from identity XXXXXXXXXX."

This happens only on my default account.

What can I do to get the email opened in a new tab as a default? See the attached context menus

Good day, Is there a way to change the default zoom setting for PDF attachments on Thunderbird? (Without opening a new program/app?

I open up a PDF attachment from one of my emails and it default to Automatic zoom level. Due to my screen resolution this doesn't look good and I need to change it to "page width" each time. Is there a way I can tell Thunderbird to open in page width, or a set percentage each time?

Thank you for your time.

Is there a way to automatically delete duplicate emails received from a single private server? I am on several email lists on this server and if an email is sent to any one of these such as officers@ I get 2 copies of the email. If it is sent to say officers@ and info@ I will get 4 copies. If it is sent to me and any one of these addresses I get 3 copies. All the copies are exact duplicates. For some reason the server can not stop this and I am the only person that seems to have this issue. I would like to automatically delete these duplicates.
