This has been happening for a long long time - probably a few years' worth of versions. I have just put up with it... currently running Tbird 147 and it just happened.

When editing an email (either the body or the Subject), if you use the backspace button (the one that deletes to the left) to delete some text sometimes the cursor will incorrectly be positioned about 5 or 6 characters further left than it should.

For example, if I had the text: "Quick brown fox jumps over the moon"

If I were to highlight "fox" in the above example, and hit backspace, I would expect the cursor to end up positioned between the remaining spaces after 'brown' ( pipe symbol here is meant to represent the cursor position): "brown | jumps"

But instead what happens is that the cursor ends up somewhere among/before the word "brown". It's always further left than it should be, by 5 or 6 characters.

I believe it only happens when highlighting multiple characters and then hitting backspace. It may be more (only?) prevalent when editing/replying to an existing email. (But I'm still only editing the new portions that I add at the top of the email; I'm almost never editing in amongst the original quoted email content.)

I also haven't ever been able to figure out how to make it happen, sorry. It is just random...It will happen once in an email, but then not again. But it happens frequently - 3-6 times a day perhaps. (Depends on how many emails I am editing.  :) )

I don't believe that I have noticed this issue if I were using the Delete button (deletes things to the right). I don't think it happens when backspacing one character at a time...but it might. I also use Option-Backspace to delete whole words at a time (instead of highlighting the word); not exactly sure if it happens only if highlighting a word, or only if Option-Backspace, or single key press... sorry, it is so random and unexpected that I don't have more specifics.

Since a few weeks ago every time I try to drag an email from the inbox to a folder (I'm not ever trying to drag it out of Thunderbird), if I falter with the mouse or try to drag it a second time I get dialog box asking if I want to replace a file that already exists in the "mozDraggedFiles" folder. e.g.:

 CONFIRM
 /var/folders/4g/sjfdskjgdsklfi098ds09jsejre/T/mozDraggedFiles/<subject_of_email>.eml Already exists do you want to replace it? Y/N

Clearly a temp folder for stored copies of emails before they get moved/copied somewhere.

There's a similar bug reported here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1983616

Which links to another couple of bugs, but all are talking about dragging files to desktop or other location but not about dragging them within the program.

Presumably once a dragged email reaches it's destination the copy in the mozDraggedFiels folder ought to be cleared right? I wonder why that has changed recently, I'm pretty sure I haven't had this issue before.

Also to make matters worse when the dialog box comes up, it is only displayed locally to the machine to screens connected directly to it and if I am remoting in with share screen or something like jump desktop the machine essentially hangs/disconnects until the dialog box is closed!

Anyone else getting this ?

I'm on OSX 15.1 and Thunderbird143.0.1 (aarch64) R.

I have a local folder which has 90 folders within it. These are folders brought over from Eudora (the mail system I used before Thunderbird). It would help me if I could easily move all 90 from their current "Eudora" folder to the big "main" folder that Thunderbird has. To make it clear what I'm asking, here's an example, using two folders, Danbury and Fritz.

D (folders whose names begin with D) Eudora folder, which has two folders - Danbury and Fritz F (folders whose names begin with F)

Is there any way to move the 2 folders that are currently within the "Eudora" folder so that they're "first level" folders. In other words, Danbury would be among the "D" folders and Fritz would be among the "F" folders.

The only way I know to achieve this is by manually creating the new folders, moving the items from the old folder to the new folder, and then deleting the old folder. This is cumbersome.

Tried to send a rather routine email on Outlook account. Wouldn't send. Checked settings. Outgoing server, which I set to smtp-mail.outlook.com, had "magically" changed to an outlook365 server. Switched it back. Still wouldn't send. After some investigation and some suggestions from copilot, I noticed my Surfshark VPN was on. I don't run it all the time, just when I need it to log onto blocked sites. Copilot said: Surfshark is notorious for silently blocking outbound SMTP ports — especially 587, 465, and 25. Switched outgoing port to 465 as suggested by Surfshark support and tried to send again, without Surfshark on. Still wouldn't send. Finally went to outlook.live.com to send the message. Went OK. Kinda baffled. Anyone help?

lost emails from thunderbird working thunderbird this afternoon & it jus just wiped out all my emails every one it even deleted some local folders is there any way of recovering these emails thanks for any help

I have found a complete folder with subfolders in my Trash at last three or four times now, and I did not move it there. The folders are still in Local Folders but they are empty and I have to move everything back. Why is this happening? Just in the last six months has this occurred.
