To whom it may concern,

My manager is having issues with the drag-and-drop feature in her Thunderbird account. One of her most favoured features is being able to drag emails from the inbox section of her email account into a designated folder. However this feature seems to have been disabled or is unresponsive for her.

Additionally she is getting a notification which says "Not enough disk space' We have a team of administrators who assist with inbox management and clearing of spam and junk however due to the busy nature of her work she receives hundreds of emails on a daily basis. How would she go about increasing her disk space? And are these two issues related?

Look forward to your response and assistance. Kind regards Ines

Witajcie, Mam taki problem z odebranymi wiadomościami w Thunderbird 128.9.2esr (64 bits). Thunderbid z niewiadomych przyczyn losowo miesza treść odebranych wiadomości i przyporządkowuje je do innych wiadomości. W załączniku przesyłam print screen jak to wygląda. Jak widać odebrałem wiadomość z adresu: j.cichecka@.......pl o tytule Faktura VAT - sprzedaży nr. 7/03/2025/WYN. Po podświetleniu tej wiadomości w treści maila poniżej widzę niewłaściwą treść z innego maila od T-Mobile otrzymanego z adresu twoja_f@.......pl natomiast tytuł maila jest z wiadomości otrzymanej z adresu j.cichecka@.......pl (taki jak widać w liście Tematów wyżej). W ten sposób ginie mi mnóstwo wiadomości, których treści nie mogę odczytać bo znajduje się tam treść maili z innych wiadomości. Czy ktoś spotkał się z podobnym problemem i zna rozwiązanie jak to naprawić? Dziękuję Pozdrawiam Marcin

Witajcie,

Proszę o pomoc z wyszukiwarką w programie Thunderbird 128.9.2esr (64 bity). Do tej pory wyszukiwarka działała poprawnie. Teraz gdy próbuje wyszukać jakieś hasło to wyszukiwarka pokazuje mi wyniki tylko od października 2024 do marca 2005 roku a wiadomości w folderach mam od 2020 roku. W ustawieniach pole Indeksowanie wiadomości i wyszukiwanie mam zaznaczone. Próbowałem odznaczyć i uruchomić program ponownie. Uruchamiałem też Thunderbird w trybie rozwiązywania problemów. Żadne z tych działań nie rozwiązało problemu. Jak wejdę w foldery na koncie to normalnie widzę wszystkie wiadomości od 2020 roku ale wyszukiwarka nie wyszukuje w wiadomościach przed 2024 rokiem. Co dokładnie powinienem zrobić aby to naprawić? Dziękuję za pomoc Pozdrawiam Marcin

I have three email accounts on my computer, one IMAP and two POP. I need to move these accounts to a new Windows 11 computer. I want all of the accounts on the new computer to be IMAP. So I have two POP accounts containing messages that I need to move to IMAP accounts on my new computer.

When I open the profile folder on my current computer it has a MAIL folder and a ImapMail folder. The MAIL folder contains a Local Folder and a pop.1and1.com folder. Each of these subfolders contains the Inbox, Sent, Trash etc. folders that contain the email messages to be moved to the new computer.

I see lots of information on moving the profile but that doesn't address the POP to IMAP conversion issue or the fact there are three different accounts involved.

Postbox having been sold to eM Client, I need to migrate to Thunderbird. Import worked pretty well using the protocol "migrating from a previous Thunderbird installation" however the filters did not import at all. It happens that I have 320 of them, so it would be a great help if some automatic procedure could be implemented. Is this possible? Thanks in advance. Regards, Gérald

I have had an issue for quite some time now where I cannot set any details on my email addresses from the Account Settings screen on my Thunderbird install.

This has been an issue for quite some time I believe. The significance of the issue is that I cannot change SMTP servers because not only is the setting blank but when I select another SMTP it returns to default every time.

128.9.0esr (64-bit)

Please help! I am having to use a secondary email address for some of my clients because I cannot set up an SMTP server for them.

In the past I've always been able to restore email subfolders and the emails in those folders to Local Folders by copying over the files from the profile directory of a previous installation under Mail/Local Folders

But I'm trying it now on v. 128.6.1esr (64-bit) and it no longer works.

e.g. I do the following with TB closed: $ cd [old_profile_dir]/Mail/Local\ Folders/ $ cp -r Archives* Sent* Templates* [new_profile_dir]/Mail/Local\ Folders/

When I reopen neither the emails nor their folders are there.

If I try creating all of the relevant folders from within thunderbird, then closing it and copying over in the same way, it similarly seems has no effect. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to set up my sbcglobal.net account on Thunderbird.

I enter all of the inbound server settings, and i times out while checking them. What to do? I have similar issues setting up sbcglobal.net on other email clients.

My Thunderbird layout has changed. I use the classic view. Prior to yesterday each new message was on 1 line, now each message seems to be in a pane of its own taking up the space of about 3 lines. How do I change it back?

Can the nesting of emails be turned off? I constantly have to search my emails to find a specific one. This was so easy before the nesting was implemented. Now everything is hidden. It's getting to be as bad as gmail.

With the new version of TB the address book has become unusable. It is not White Text on white background. I can't find any settings to reset or apply a theme or fix the colors of the text within the address book. There are many settings and themes that one could apply to the mailbox but if one can't see the address book that pretty much it useless to try to use the email.

How does one just set up the ENTIRE program to apply a theme? Or can we get a working White and Dark themes that address all Text and All backgrounds to make them legible so there are at least useful. TB has become very frustrating. Sorry to rant but before the big changes to use native Darkmode it was really good email client but like so many that try to embrace the darkmode trend (which isn't a bad idea) they are falling short of addressing the entire product.

Any help to address the color issues in the address book would be greatly appreciated.

I exported my profile to an external drive, then reset my Windows 11 PC. The resulting file is a zip file. When I import, the import starts, then stalls and gives an error. The error log is incomprehensible to me. How can I not lose my local folders and messages? I tried unzipping and importing that folder, but another error. I need help! Ideas? Thanks.
