Today is June 22nd 2026 , I was busy all weekend and I just checked my mail this morning , I noticed that the last email I got was Thursday June 18th 2026 , so I right clicked and clicked on "Get Messages" , suddenly I have about 40 emails , dating from the 19th to today , I have complained before about having issues with emails being a day or so late and was told that is when they were sent .... I am calling BS on that response and repeating my claim that something is WRONG with Thunderbird and how (or IF) it recieves emails , because there is no way that ALL the emails I normally get all decided at once to wait to send them to me till today (and I only got them because I clicked on Get Messages , otherwise I most likely still wouldn't have recieved any emails for several days from the date they were supposed to show up)
I can't be the only one with this issue , so hopefully someone has looked into this and come up with a actual FIX , , I have had this email program since Windows stopped Windows 10 Mail and honestly , since its been out for years prior to that , I would think it wouldn't still be buggy as it is , there are lots of features that are just combersome to use (like mass deleting emails by Name) all the way to just actually getting emails on time when they were actually sent (I have literally been on the phone with someone and they send me a email , and I don't get it for hours or sometimes days or sometimes not at all , and they are from people I have recieved emails from before and are part of my address book , so I should get them within minutes at most , not days or never ...
I am about ready to go find something else that is relaiable (and looks better , as I can't even add one of my pictures as a Background , and Light/Dark mode sucks as far as looks goes unless you are some GOTH person or something) and actually user friendly (when I swtiched to this email program it was better than most of the others offered at the time , but honestly , it has never improved and has remained unfinished as far as I am concerned) , it says it "updates" all the time , but I have not noticed ANY improvements in Functionality or looks since I first downloaded it , and for as long as Thunderbird has been available , it should not still be in Beta form and actually function at least as well as Microsoft's outdated emails programs did , but as of this ongoing issue , it is still slow and clunky , it may or may not send you emails depending on the day , and is a pain to navigate things that should be easily accessible on the main page with a simple click , again I'm comparing it to Outlook Express which has been obsolete for years , and Windows 10 Mail because as old as they are , they functioned much better than this email ever has and look much better , at least they allowed personal pictures for a Background
If you don't have a actual FIX for this ongoing issue , then I think it's time for me to move on and find something that actually functions like a email program should , by actually being able to recieve emails faster than Pony Express , which was last used because it was too slow over 165 years ago
If you DO have a FIX for this ongoing issue of not recieving emails when they were actually sent (I complained about this exact issue back in January) , not days later , or being able to close Thunderbird and still get emails alerts (you know like Microsoft has for years , and as much as I dislike Microsoft and their policies and FORCED Feature Windows Updates that screw up everything , at least they had a decent and functional email program since Windows 95 through Windows 10 Mail , but all they offer now is Outlook and I don't do online emails , I want it on my Desktop , which is why I went to Thunderbird in the first place) , maybe since they discontinued theirs , you could just copy/paste everything from it and call it Thunderbird
At least then it would work like it should , and look better , and actually not have to just minimize it in the taskbar so you will know at some point that you got a email , or to make it automatically start when Windows does , so I don't have to manually open it every time I restart my PC , since I have yet to find a setting for that , or if it is there its most likely hidden behind 40 other things you need to open to get to it , even though most likely the email alert sound never happens , maybe 2 times a month if I'm lucky , and even if it is several days late , (like I said 40 different people/companies didn't suddenly decide to wait 3 or more days to all send their emails at once , and only after I clicked Get Messages , oh , by the way , they are EMAILS NOT MESSAGES , a Message is a Text or Chat , a Email is a Email , maybe that is the issue , it doesn't know what its looking for)
As mentioned this has been a ongoing issue that I have complained about before , with no solution , and that no one here seems to want to address or actually FIX or even let me know they are working on a solution (which it seems like no one is) , so I'm tired of complaining to deaf ears , Helen Keller would have figured out what is wrong by now and she is Deaf , Blind and Dead ... When I am expecting a email from a Doctor that has info on a test or something , I need it when they send it , not days later or never .... I keep missing important emails because this program is and has been iffy at best since I have had it ...
I understand that the majority of the Staff for Thunderbird is Volunteers , but it just seems like no one cares what users experience and just brush it off and forget about it , and that is the issue I am and have been feeling with Support .... Not trying to be a jerk , I'm just frustrated with the lack of concern with how this program has and still does function
Thanks ..... Jim
