I'm aware of the many caveats regarding use of 'Repair Folder'. It's widely known that the results are...inconsistent, to put it charitably. Nevertheless...

I keep vast quantities of messages in local folders. For some of those folders, I manually archive the contents annually, by creating a new folder with the name of the year ("2025"), then dragging messages from the existing folder to the new folder. This sometimes works. More often than not though, it fails in one way or another. Sometimes I drag them across, a handful of them show up in the new folder, but then the rest just sit there in the old folder, in selected state, but with no activity taking place. Sometimes merely selecting smaller 'chunks' of messages to drag across will work. In others, such as last night, even that didn't work.

I then invoked 'Repair Folder' in a vain attempt at recovery; sometimes that will clear the issue. However, when I did this, what happened is that the chunk of messages that were selected wound up having all their date fields (in the display) reset to near the epoch - January 20, 1970. When I view the message source, the dates are correct.

I'm unable to find a way to recover from this.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Windows 10 Pro 22H2 Thunderbird 128.11.1esr (64bit)

As of June 26, I am completely unable to SEND any eMails to anyone. Incoming eMails are accepted as usual, but ALL outgoing eMails get a warning box saying that the mail server has detected spam in the eMail and it will not be sent. Our local internet provider is Bartnet, they have helped us prove it is not them, we can log into the online website and receive/send items normally. Now we have to consider Thunderbird as the source of the Warning. We have completely rebooted the computer, no change, nothing can be sent out. How do we get RID OF the warning box ? We are extremely careful of any incoming files and do NOT open them if the sender is unknown. Those are deleted, not opened. Malwarebytes has scanned the entire machine, no reports of any malware. PLEASE help us learn how to change settings so we CAN SEND EMAILS AGAIN. Thanks for any assistance you can provide us.....Meg Greenwood

I recently upgraded to new software for Thunderbird. For some reason now, when I click on New message, it doesn't work. I can't write a new message and therefore I cannot do my work as I need to.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello, I want to delete all incoming gmail messages. I have set up a filter but instead of deleting them it puts them in the Trash folder.

Is this the expected behaviour?

Hi -- I have a problem in which I can't seem to access certain emails except via search. If I look in the folder directly, they seem not to be there. For instance, in a specific instance I just discovered I have a local folder in which I have archived a certain category of emails. I went looking there for emails from a certain party and they were missing. So I ran a search, assuming I'd made a mistake and put them in some other folder, but no, the 30-40 emails show up in the search, indicated as being in the folder they were supposed to be in. I can access the contents of these emails via search, so they exist SOMEWHERE that Thunderbird can find them.

I tried running a repair on that folder, and that did not make these emails return.

I should say that I've been on Thunderbird for many, many years and have quite huge archives, though this particular folder only has a few hundred emails. Have I maxed out the poor thing and am getting into the flaky zone where it just can't handle indexing all the emails?

I set up a sub-folder to my INBOX. Named it PRIORITY INBOX. Used message filters to send 3 e-mail addresses to the new inbox. It worked, then something changed and it stopped working. Incoming messages from those 3 addresses don't show up in PRIORITY INBOX. They also don't show up in INBOX or JUNK or TRASH. They don't show up anywhere I can find. Then I deleted all three filters, then deleted the PRIORITY INBOX. Now no messages show up anywhere from those three addresses. HELP!

Am I remembering wrong, or previous versions of Thunderbird would allow for "viewing" server certificate exceptions added. (Settings>Privacy>Certificate Manager>Servers).

I need to review some certificates installed manually. If there is any other easy way to "open" and review certificates somewhere I am not aware of, I would appreciate pointers to it.

Thanks in advance!

As the subject indicates, when I right click Local Folders, and select Mark All Folders Read, nothing happens. It worked fine two days ago, but not so now. If I right click an individual folder, such as Inbox, or a sub-folder, and choose mark folder read, it works fine.

Continually receiving this message "Login to server mail.talktalk.net with username aohl3894@tiscali.co.uk failed". It then says that it cannot connect to server SMTP.talktalk.net This has been like this since 23rd June. It seems that i can receive on Thunderbird, but not not send.

Can both receive and send on Talktalk.mail

Hello! I used the automatic setting up of Thunderbird and it all appears alright with one notable exception. Inbox on the server (webmail.aruba.it) is synchronized with Thunderbird on my laptop i.e. when I receive messages I can see them both when logging into the server as well as locally on Thunderbird. However, sent e-mails from the server webmail.aruba.it I cannot see (are not stored locally on Thunderbird). Interestingly enough, though, if I send a message from Thunderbird (locally) I can see it synced in the "sent" folder on webmail.aruba.it. Could you help?

TB on PC: have noticed that my Calendar entries are not syncing up to Outlook.com. Entries added directly to Outlook.com sync okay to my PC TB. Contacts sync works fine both ways. I just upgraded to TB 128.12 but no change. I have checked all the TB Outlook server entries and they appear correct. Any ideas? Thanks.

Having selected multiple messages, I'm trying to move them to a new sub-folder, however this option seems to have vanished! I've installed version 139.0.2 (64-bit).

Hello,

Recently I have started to have emails fail to deliver to a certain domain and the message that comes back is

550 DKIM Sender Invalid - envelope rejected.

I am using Thunderbird v128.8.1 esr (64-bit). Extensions installed are: 1. Attachment Saver (Deimios, v.0.2.2) 2. FileLink provider for Send (Teal Dulcet v2.1.1) 3. Remove Duplicate Messages (Eyal Rozenberg v0.6.1)

I have been in communication with this client for several years and not had this problem before. When I send email to the same recipients using WebMail there is no problem, it is only when I send from Thunderbird.

I am not using any encryption type of setup.

Has anyone come across this before? Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks, Franc.

Hi, our city provides a garbage/recycling calendar (weekly) that is added into Google calendar by a url. On my first laptop, when I installed Thunderbird and setup the calendar, the entries showed up (as well as other Google calendar entries). On my 2nd laptop, they don't show up, although other google calendar entries do. Any ideas? Thanks, Shawn

I use many filters to divert many incoming emails to nominated local folders. One filter only started misbehaving last year. It transfers the message but then enters random number of duplicates so filling the folder with garbage. The message gets duplicated 1,2,3,4 times at random.

How can I cure this?

According my settings the junk mails in junk folder should be deleted after one day. But - instead of deleting these junk mails - the junk mails just move to trash folder (which then must be cleared manually) - absolutely nonsense !! My thunderbird version 139.0.2 - before update to this current version, the junk mails have been DELETED (!!) according my settings and NOT moved to trash
