Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Thunderbird

I have 5 accounts. Since the update when I start Thunderbird, some accounts appear in name only with no folders. Then, if I exit then enter again the tabs may appear and the Thunderbird sets about resyncing them all. Help please.

I have several email accounts in Thunderbird where the email address no longer exists, at least on the specified IMAP server. Thunderbird is configured to not attempt automatically getting mail for these.

I had used Thunderbird 102 on Windows 10 for years, and in that version, my mail was kept in Thunderbird for those accounts (though whenever I opened any folder in them, I was somewhat annoyingly prompted to enter my credentials since the connection to the server was failing). To copy my profile folder to a new Linux installation, I updated Thunderbird to 153.5.1esr, the same version running on Linux, as Flatpak. My mail is still kept in Thunderbird on Windows, but with the same profile on Linux, Thunderbird "hid" all folders from the offline email accounts (apart from an "Inbox" folder that is shown as empty): the files are still there in the profile directory, and Thunderbird seems to find relevant emails in search, but opening them leads to a "No mail found" screen, and there is no way to access this mail from the folder pane. How can I make Thunderbird see my mail again?

As if that was not enough, on a whim I decided to attempt the "Repair folder" option on my Windows instance of Thunderbird, where the folders were still being shown normally. I immediately regretted not having made a backup of my profile (I only have one from version 102, where the data was apparently stored rather differently), since this just deleted all mail in the selected folder entirely, with the relevant file in the profile directory being empty. (The file seems to be somewhat different on Linux too, since copying it back to the Windows profile did not restore the mail in Thunderbird, and I would probably have to copy my Thunderbird 102 backup into an install of Thunderbird 102 and manually upgrade to my/the newest version to get it back.)

I know local folders would never be deleted like this, but there does not even seem to be an option to move an entire mailbox into a local folder, other than manually. It does not appear like Thunderbird has proper support for mailboxes that are no longer available. It would be undesirable to have all my mail in some new mailbox lost in the same way after I lose access to it. (Local folders would not really help in this situation either, unless you plan out exactly when your mailbox goes offline.)

I want to create a rule that applies only to one folder. Essentially, I get various notifications that I want to keep for a couple of months, but don't need permanently (e.g. appointment reminders, visa notifications, etc.). I have rules that work properly to move the message to the correct folder, but I want to create a rule that will delete the message IN THAT SPECIFIC FOLDER after 60 days. I most certainly don't want to delete messages in the inbox or other folders that I need to keep permanently. 1. Is there a way to do that? 1a. If there isn't, can it be suggested as an enhancement? 2. If there isn't, is there a better way to do this that I can't think of?

I've added a screenshot of one of the rules that I've created that works correctly. I need to be able to delete that message without deleting any messages in other folders.

I was a COX cable Email customer, when they stopped providing Email my account went to YAHOO, but the Email address stayed the same. I have been using TBird for years. My old computer died, the person that set up the new one could not set up Tbird. I am trying but it says my cox.net site could not be found. PLEASE HELP ME! I love Tbird and hate YAHOO!

Hello Good day,

With thunderbird I have tidied up my e-mails at server at googlemail.com yesterday ?!

I have deleted 50 percent of "all-inbox" and of "sent messages".

This means that - before this - 12,9 GB of memory at googlemail.com were used. Now it should be at about 6 GB of memory used actually ?!

In thunderbird-window below it is said that 12.9 GB of memory are still used ?!

Normally it should be at 6 GB of memory are now used ?

Thunderbird says still "storage is 85 percent full" ?!

Have I to wait some days until memory usage is actualized ?

Thank you for answer. Greetz. dschinn1001

Hello: I recently migrated a large Thunderbird installation on a Linux laptop to my Windows 11 laptop(Thunderbird 15.0). I followed the directions to copy the profile folder and was very happy it seemed to work well. All the old emails are there and I can send/receive new emails. I am unable to see all images inline when viewing an email in the message pane. It seems this applies to some images with links. I've searched the community a few times and tried several options but it hasn't helped. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.

I can delete email one at a time, but I have some folders that have over 1,000 messages. With the election coming up, I have collected so much political email and I want it all gone. Unsubscribe seems to delete one and 5 more pop up! Thanks!

Mostly the Trash and Drafts folders shown very large, incorrect numbers, in the hundred. Even if I mark as the folder read or empty the folder. Numbers don't change, just keep growing. Any ideas? I've tried some suggfestions from the internet but none work

I had heard that Thunderbird is a great ad-free alternative and I started using it some time back as an alternative to direct Yahoo or GMail use. I did not know that your default is to delete (from the server also!) mail older than 30 days!!!

I've had medical and financial records and other things that I've kept for years on my Yahoo account that are just gone due to your settings. Is there any way that I can recover messages from certain folders?
