Sometimes a search term will pull up many emails I need to sift though, like in the case where it's a common word, like permit. I was searching the term "permit" for building permit emails and got many unrelated emails that were more recent with permit in the email body. I am able to quickly skim and see these are unrelated but the limiting factor is only ten results per page. When I click load more, takes a few moments to load. I was unable to find any way to change this. How can it be done? Should be possible, it's doesn't affect Mozilla's processing because everything is done locally on my machine. I would much rather 100 results to load or to load indefinitely.

Additional question: on that search term, many unrelated emails came up as mentioned before. When I searched the same term in gmail in my internet browser, only relevant emails came up. Why is this? How do I improve the thunderbird search?

After Thunderbird 152.0.1 Windows x64 lost its mind:

* my main calendar
* not allow recreation from backup data
* would not load profile

I had no option but to remove and reinstall.

Local Folders has 4 non-removeable folders Drafts - XXxxxx, Sent, Trash and Outbox that were not there in the past 20 years.

I've had issues with google and microsoft, changed passwords, now I get credentials messages when Bird tries to get email. I know its because of my password changes but can't fix it. (I edited this because I said authentification before instead of credentials)

I've asked this before to no response. I JUST did a new search and found a users solution that I just tried to no avail. Which was to add the Provider for Google Calendar Extension, then unsubscribe and resubscribe to my Calendars! The old W7 version of the Calendar had the ability to have a Reminder EMAILED to oneself! That option with the new W11 version has disappeared! Can someone please ask the Coders to re include this option! THANK YOU! I 'LIVE" by this option! My Iphone 3rd party Calendar thankfully still has this option! But I would LOVE to have this back on my W11 Laptop in the Thunderbird Calendar!

Is there a bug in the code for v152? I need to connect to a ms office 365 email account with requires OAuth

The create new account process does not work, because it forces you to go through the whole (manual) process which then fails because you cannot select the Oauth option from Authentication method dropdown box - because its not there !.

This URL with the process to add OAuth: https://www.bing.com/search?pglt=419&q=setting+OAuth+in+thunderbird&cvid=22ed20c67b3843d58ddbc136bed2f174&gs_lcrp=EgRlZGdlKgYIABBFGDkyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQABhAMgYIAhAAGEAyBggDEAAYQNIBCTExMjgyajBqN6gCCLACAQ&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=ASTS

fails at Step 2 because it does not let you complete to then go to Step 3 - because the account is never created !

How do I fix this ? thanks

Something seems to have changed recently with the PDF rendering in Thunderbird. I received an email with a PDF file attached. When I view it on the screen it looks fine, but when printing it out from within Thunderbird part of the top of the first page missing; it looks like part of the image is behind a white rectangle.

When I save the file and print it using Acrobat Reader it renders fine.

I don't know what to make of this behavior, but it does seem to be new and there is a difference between how the file is printed from Thunderbird as opposed to printing using Adobe Reader.

Thunderbird 152.0.1 on Windows 11 PC.

PRELUDE: I have Thunderbird (TB) Version 152.0.1 (64-bit)

I have 45+ email addresses, some at various different domains, 8 (was 10 yesterday) Email accounts with Shaw that was taken over by Rogers. It's been a nightmare. I now have TB working almost as it should, and am use to but, one account has issue.

I tried to format this so it's easy to follow, but more formatting is not available so please see the pictures attached. Pics are self explanatory, but in case, pic 1 shows 3 accounts. The address with issues is the middle address (fake-two (faketwo@there.xy). The other 2, fake-one and fake-three have all their folders.

ANSWERS to possible questions: I used a outside mail to send/receive to/from fake-two. It receives and sends Email.

The email I thought I’d sent isn’t in my sent folder. I saw it being sent. I also tried restoring the sent items folder, but it didn’t work. What should I do? Is there any risk of it being misused?

Why do I see a green dot only occasionally next to some saved messages but not next to other saved messages? Important note: I have reported the police service in my Canadian city to the Alberta (provincial/state) government's Police Review Commission, and the Police Review Commission is conducting an investigation. Please ensure nobody from Calgary Police Services can access my Thunderbird email program. Thanks.

loaded Thunderbird on new laptop and set up account getting error message that ID or password incorrect. I'm able to login to my email account using web browser with ID and password. I have check settings for the AT&T mail server and everything looks correct. Need help what am I missing?

First this is an installation on a PC. My local folders for Thunderbird are stored on an external drive. I rarely need to go to this drive, but on occasion I store a temp file for use on another PC. I was doing just that when I noticed a large number of SBD folders and MSF files there. For general description, on that drive I have local folder for Thunderbird. I also have folders A through Z which have nothing to do with Thunderbird, just other misc. folders for temp use. Thunderbird has gone through and created a second folder for each folder A through Z and an MSF file for each folder. Each one of these SBD folders has a sub SBD folder for each file that is in the original folder and an MSF file. Is it safe to delete all of these folders since they are not any part of emails. Why and how to prevent this from happening to stop clutter in my primary folder. Thank you for any advice and help.

Error code: PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

   The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
   Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

Afterward no mail is being received from any of the providers, everything is stopped at last time I connected before the error, i.e. 7/9/2026

Hi,

I use AltSnap and its snap feature a lot because I have multiple 40" TVs as monitors.

That means I often deal with thunderbird floating windows rather than maximized, and I often resize it.

And I notice that my message list is always getting too small !

I realized this is because when you resize the thunderbird window vertically, the preview pane stays a constant size, but it is the message list that resizes.

Over time the message list gets squished out and not even one message is visible.

I think if the message list remained of a constant size during vertical resize and it was the preview pane that got resized along with the window, it would prevent that and the message list would always be, the size that you last set it.

Hello,

I *can* resize the folder pane in the first/main folder tab, but, I *can not* resize the folder pane in subsequent folder tabs I create using "open in new tab". 

This occurs using any layout (Classic, wide, vertical view). In the first tab I get the double-headed arrow to resize the folder pane, but in subsequent folder tabs I don't get it.

When I open a  folder in a new tab, the folder pane is the same width as the parent tab, but, I can't adjust it.

I'm using Thunderbird 152.0.1, but, this has been going on for a long time from what I can remember.

I've tried a number of suggested things to fix this: - Deleted xulstore.json - Cleared Startup Cache. - restarted in Troubleshoot mode (and I get the same issue there). - Switched layout views - Toggled folder modes - Adjusted interface density. - Toggled hardware acceleration. - Deleted the UI Cache Folder (shader-cache)

Nothing worked.

Please help me with this!

Thank you, Jim

Yahoo spam folder deleted by mistake. TB version 152.0.1. How to move spam folder out of trash?

I have tried everything that I can think and everything I can find that others have tried (except the FolderFlags add-on that is not compatible with TB version 152).

Any ideas?

Hi, I have two accounts in my Thunderbird. They are Gmail (regular gmail account) and CFCC (an institutional account). The CFCC shows up in my Unified Folder list but the Gmail does not. Is that normal? The main Inbox is showing all incoming emails from both accounts so no performance issues, just wondering how to get rid of the CFCC (if that's possible) to eliminate clutter. Thank you. GES

I have been using Thunderbird on my PC for years and when I got my last PC, I found a article to help me move my files. I am now looking for instructions on how to move my Thunderbird files from the PC to the Mac so I can continue using it as I have been.
