I-Thunderbird Community Forum

I'd like to be able to search for a single email address in TB's inbox. Often I just need to find one email from an email address. I don't need or want to do a "saved search" I just want to reread a specific email from a specific sender. I believe I'm using the classic layout. I've looked through settings, layout, but can't find a way to do that. When I looked through the help articles, etc, all that came up w/saved search. Before one of the latest updates, I could just type in the sender's name or email address, look through all of them, then restore the inbox to list all emails by date. I'd like to be able to restore that function, is there a way to do that?

When Thunderbird -- Mozilla -- "killed off Messenger from within TBird" -- via the Messenger - Quick Access -- they damaged a LOT of loyal users.

Why hasn't Mozilla advised in plain clear English (well, and other languages) why this was done, and what happens to all the disenfranchised TBird users ?

Is there ANY chances of getting this back ?

I have a similar problem to others reporting a connection time-out. But the circumstances now seem different. It is getting worse. First thing today, I noticed that Thunderbird emails (current/up-to-date version) were taking several minutes to finish sending. After sending 3 successfully, but slowly, all further emails failed, as per image attached. My wife's computer, using the same email provider, etc, was working okay. I checked and compared the account setting, and they were slightly different (no idea why) so I altered mine to match the other PC. That didn't make any difference anyway. Then (a few hours later) my wife's PC started having the same problems as mine, as if it's a spreading disease. Could it be a virus? Thanks.

I am using Thunderbird for my emails since gmail will no longer support my business emails. I was able to access my sent emails up until April and now I am no longer seeing sent emails show up in the sent folder. Please provide easy to follow steps for this. I need to be able to access my sent emails.

None of my sent emails are accessible. When I go to the sent folder after sending an email, the emails are not there. Same with deleted emails. When I go to that folder, they are not there. Why is Thunderbird email so overly complicated? I think I need a better email provider. I am only using it because gmail will no longer support 3rd party emails (for my business.)

My default email address (peter.15240@btinternet.com) has been hacked and access to my contact list gained. Many contacts receiving emails purporting to be from me.. I have changed my default address to another one (rusp38@gmail.com).. What do you suggest I do or should I report it to another organisation? Thanks, Peter Russell

Good afternoon,

We are experiencing the following issue.

I work as a Technical Support Engineer at a large company in Russia. All of our branches use Thunderbird as their email client.

Approximately three weeks ago, we started receiving reports from users that their email was no longer working.

After investigating the issue and trying to identify the root cause, we have not been able to find a permanent solution. We have already tried the following:

1. Completely clearing the cache, rebuilding the mailbox while preserving emails, and allowing Thunderbird to re-download all messages. 2. Changing the `mail.server.default.mime_parts_on_demand` and `mail.imap.mime_parts_on_demand` configuration settings to `false`, clearing the Trash folder, and restarting Thunderbird. (This only provided a temporary fix.) 3. Reinstalling Thunderbird and creating a fresh client installation. 4. Using the **Repair Folder** and **Compact Folder** options for every mailbox folder. 5. Several other troubleshooting methods found online, none of which resolved the issue.

According to multiple users from different departments who are not connected to one another, they all describe the same behavior:

Thunderbird stops working for about half a day. Then it starts working normally for approximately 15–30 minutes, after which it stops working again for another several hours. During these periods, no new emails are downloaded, regardless of the size or content of the messages.

When checking the mailbox size in Exchange, it reports:

• 3.56 GB used. The quota is unlimited.

However, on the local computer, the Thunderbird profile folder (`Thunderbird > Profiles`) occupies nearly 9 GB. If we calculate the size of all mailbox folders within Thunderbird itself, the total is approximately 6 GB.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what else we can try?

Has anyone experienced a similar issue or found a solution?

At this point, our employees are unable to work effectively because email is a critical part of their daily workflow, and we have been unable to identify a permanent fix.

I've had a Thunderbird email account for years. My laptop quit, so I've set up the account on a new laptop. I discovered that I hadn't saved my Thunderbird password, so I followed the procedure for "forgot password". This included a new p/w, and I also got a Mozilla PIN (for future Microsoft Password Manager use), and got a Mozilla Account Recovery Key, again for future use. But I can't log into my Thunderbird account. I get the message "Authentication Error" (Wrong p/w, email, etc.) Changing IMAP / POP settings didn't help, though I did go with the recommended IMAP setting.

Any suggestions?

New W11 Pro pc, so new installation of Thunderbird. All profiles and folders moved over ok, but the Bin folder is an issue (main Gmail account IMAP). In my previous Tbird installation, I was able to right click the Bin folder, and be given the option of emptying said folder. Not now. The Spam folder does have the Empty option. Pics illustrate the folder list, what happens when I right click the Bin folder, and what happens when I right click the Spam folder, which does have the 'Empty Spam' option. I can highlight the messages in the Bin folder and delete them that way, but the right click option is shorter, easier... The only item I can find in the Thunderbird help pages tell me to delete the Trash and Trash msf folders in the profile - tried this twice, with no difference. It's a little frustrating... Any help would be welcomed, I guess I'm missing something really simple...

Login to server smtp-mail.outlook.com with username XXXXXX@outlook.com failed.

I am having this error I have tried logging back in, can download mail but not send any. Any ideas? Thank you

You sent me a message: Did you sign in to Mozilla? Help us keep your account safe by approving your sign-in on: plus an "authorisation code", but I do not know how to use this.

Trying to send e-mails and get the following message:-

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The server responded: <X@totalise.co.uk>recipiant rejected - relay denied. Please check the message recipient"rod.coleman@totalise.co.uk" and try again.

This happens with all e-mails.

I've just transferred my profile to a new computer, for which I downloaded TB152 (had been running TB128), and no add-ons/extensions work. Of course many were rendered inoperative with the update, but that's not the issue, because:

1. Even those which claim to be compatible, or were updated since the transfer for the purpose of extension compatibility, do not work.
2. Moreover, when I invoke the Add-ons Manager to inquire about the various non-working extensions, none of the links (which can be seen and read by the OS), can be invoked or even copied (to be, for example, pasted into a browser window).

I went through the standard [[Mozilla Support diagnostics|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hyperlinks-in-messages-not-working]] and found no answers. Can someone suggest a next step?

Trying to understand why this problem is related only to the extensions, I examined the profile's "extensions" folder. There are 40 .xpi files (same as the number of mostly-disabled (and mostly-expired) extensions in the Add-ons Manager), along with a subdirectory named "staged" containing 7 empty folders with what appear to be .xpi filenames - though none of those empty-folder-filenames match any of the .xpi files in the parent "extensions" folder. Because the "staged" folder has a recent timestamp (apparently the last time TB shut down), it seems to have some significance to TB operation - but what can be the use of it is more than I can see. What is the significance of that folder and its contents?

Two final (and possibly related) questions about this "extensions" folder:

1. Is there any way to relate the <filename>.xpi to the name in the Add-ons Manager?
2. Since nothing in the "extensions" folder identifies which are enabled, there must be some file containing a functional description of the folder's contents. Where would that be?

Grateful for any pointers, -John

Hi,

I was wondering the reason for the change in version 154 about changing the minimize to tray behaiviour when pressing the minimize button to minimizing when pressing the close button. Is there a standard? Why not make it a 2 way option, for users that prefer the older function?

Thanks.

Topic: My ignorance! Working side by side with my bank account 1/2 size, and 2 columns of my inbox screen 1/2 size worked great! A job well done! Re-sizing TB screen back to normal size caused a large blank screen, headed "Inbox", with only a couple of blank columns, no folders, no Sent, no Trash, and it is unresponsive. I went out and back in and it is the same. I didn't do anything unusual. This is a fairly routine action. Please can you help?
