I'm using the latest Thunderbird on Fedora 43, fully updated. Suddenly, Thunderbird is telling me that I have messages in my inbox, even though none show. If I receive an email, read it an delete it, the number of phantom messages increases. Compacting the inbox (or all mail boxes) has no effect on this. Any suggestions?

Hi,

      I have a Microsoft Exchange hosted email address with a (mycompanyname.com) domian.   I can check this account via Outlook, but I love Thunderbird so much, I want to sign into this new company account too on Thunderbird.    I know I need to do it via the Exchange Web Services but I get an 'unable to log in at server' error.     See the screen shot attached, is my login field correct?   What should the login field be?  Willing to try any suggestions please!  Thank you,

Hello,

A few days ago Thunderbird started denying access to my Yahoo mail account. After many attempts to sort this out I decided to remove the account and add it back again, but to no avail. I also changed my Yahoo password and activated the so called 2 step authentication, but nothing works.

I added the same Yahoo account to Windows Outlook desktop app, without any issues, just signing in with my password.

I also installed Betterbird, the Thunderbird equivalent, but could not add the Yahoo account.

I have been using Thunderbir for many years and would hate to have it uninstalled. I use it for Gmail and Outook accounts as well and without any problems.

I would be gratefull if you could help me out with this problem.

My Yahoo e-mail address is [edited from public] @yahoo.com

Thank you!

I have a couple of filters which move selected emails from Inbox to specific folders. When this happens the inbox still contains the original messages, although the message count is reduced or zero, the folder size reflects the remaining text, and compacting the folder does nothing. If I then receive a further , unfiltered message and either delete it or move it into a permanent folder, compressing the Inbox then works.

I tried using Properties->repair on the Inbox when it has these remnants and it restores the filtered messages, which can be deleted as I already have the filtered copies.

I suggest there is a bug in filtering which leaves the Inbox in an invalid state. As I like to keep my Inbox clean I find this behaviour annoying. I think this should be classed as a bug.

When viewing email, either in preview or by double clicking from the list of emails, if the subject line is too long for one row, instead of either adding a row for display, or truncating the subject text, Tbird vertically centers the multi-line subject text, which cuts off the top and bottom of the lines. This makes it virtually unreadable. Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks, KR
