154.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11

My filters are broken in Thunderbird. I have deleted and recreated some to no avail.

I moved some folders from Local to under my inbox and it said it would update the filters automatically, but noticed it didn't do this. Looking at the Filter Rules it just left either the first or second column of Perform these actions under the Filter Rules empty rather than updating them. I tried moving the folders back to see if the filters would then work, but it's a mixed bag. Some filter properly and others only go under say Newsletters, but don't filter into Newsletters > Adobe for example. Others just sit in the inbox. I've tried moving some rules to the top of the list hoping that'd give them priority to be run first, but it hasn't helped. I have a lot of filters setup to help me track newsletters, classes, meetings, job applications, etc. I've missed some responses for a couple of days because of this. Any suggestions?

So I don't miss anyone, thanks in advance.

As of noon yesterday my Thunderbird gets messages, puts them in the trash, then the spam and then sends a message to "spam" at my email provider. Since noon yesterday, I don't get email messages. I don't know what else it could be. If I go to the webmail, I get messages, but as soon as I download them with T-bird, they are in the trash and then sent as a spam notification to my email provider. I really use t-bird a lot so I would really hate to stop using it, it's much more useful than the webmail. Thanks

PS. I use Linux Ubuntu

Good afternoon

I have been struggling to find some messages specific to specific dates and spend an awful amount of time tryomh yo access the correct one.

The solution proposed is a bit unclear to me, as it refers to "future folders". I need to unthread all my messages. Is this possible?

Thanks

PS The only version number i could find was for Firefox. There does not seem to be one for Thunderbird.

How to replace Tbird's profile folder with one extracted from a backup

Helping a friend with her HP-i3 PC running Windows 11 that I setup in March of 2025. It was a new PC purchased from BestBuy in March 2025.

I had to restore the image backup of her C drive that I did in March 2025 because of a Windows problem that I wasn't able to resolve. Now that problem is resolved but Tbird has the old profile folder without her new email contacts. (Unfortunately, I did not remember to use Tbird to save a backup of her profile folder before doing the restore.)

She has a recent image backup so I can extract Tbird's profile folder from that backup. What would be the correct procedure to replace the current profile folder with the one extracted from the recent backup?

(don't currently have access to her PC so don't know the version number of Tbird currently installed)

I have "Allow remote content in messages" turned off. However I receive many messages for which I wish to allow it for that message. I do so and it works fine.

What I would like to be able to do is to have TB learn the message senders for whom I have allowed remote content so I don't have to click it every time. Is this a feature that is available that I am missing, or is it just not possible?

If not possible, please advise as I will submit for an enhancement.

Thunderbird is downloading new messages but failing to display them.

Other functionality remains active, ie I can see and open messages, delete all the contents of folders, compose and send messages, but when the software downloads new messages they simply do not display and cannot be accessed.

Not sure if it's relevant, but the message INBOX count appears to be stuck at the number 59, although more messages than that have been downloaded.

Bizarrely this is the message displayed whenever I now open the Thunderbird application (it was there when the problem first appeared and returns everytime). Out of desperation I even made a donation in the hope it would release the messages!

Thank you in advance, Steve Davidson

I keep getting authentication failure while connecting to server for different accounts every time I start thunderbird. It's usually just one and sometimes 2 accounts that fail.

Aloha. I'm helping a friend with setting up a new Windows 11 PC, and cannot get Thunderbird to connect to Spectrum's servers. I spent an hour on the phone with Spectrum support and they just gave up and said it must be an issue with Thunderbird. Here are the details:

- Brand new Dell 24 All-in-One EC24250 - Windows 11 25H2 plus all additional fixes. - All Dell drivers updated. - Thunderbird V155.0 64-bit

If I click on 'Get Messages' after a while I get: "Connection to server mail.twc.com timed out". I've gone into the config editor and changed mailnews.tcptimeout from 100 to 500 and still get the error.

In the Account Settings | Server Settings | Test server connection I get: An error occurred connecting to mail.twc.com:993.

I've tried this with both setting up a brand new account in Thunderbird, and also via copying the 'Thunderbird' folder from %appdata%\roaming from her old machine.

Email configuration (from Spectrum).

IMAP Settings Server name: mail.twc.com Port: 993 user name: abcd@hawaii.rr.com Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password

SMTP settings Server Name: mail.twc.com Port 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal password

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this scenario?

Starting today (September 3), ALL of my received emails are being put into the Spam folder instead of the Inbox.

FYI, I have been running Thunderbird (TB) for years and have not recently set up any new filters.

I'm currently running Thunderbird 64-bit version 155.0 under Windows 11 Home version 25H2. I am also running Bitdefender Total Security, but I have turned off its Antispam function, both under my usual Standard User account and the Admin account.

I have tried:

1. Going into TB Settings|Privacy & Security|Spam and clicking on "Reset Training Data." 2. After closing TB, I deleted the training.dat file in my TB profile folder and restarted TB. 3. Right-clicked on my Inbox and Spam folders and clicked on "Repair Folder." 4. Exited TB, copied my profile folder to an external HD, uninstalled TB and reinstalled TB after downloading from the official download site. 5. Rebooted my PC.

None of these approaches has worked to solve my problem.

Thanks for any help you can give.

This morning Thunderbird asked me to update which I duly did. Once done all messages started disappearing from inbox. Eventually I found them and moved them back to inbox only for it to happen again

Have now tried 3 times, same result, every single email from Inbox keeps being moved to deleted in Local Folders

All new emails that have come in since appear for a micro second in Inbox before being moved to Deleted

This is obviously not a great situation to put it mildly and as it has never happened before and started straight after this morning's update I can only assume that the update is to blame

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have set up 4 email accounts in Thunderbird. I tried today to set up another email account with the same domain. selected the New Account Button (email only); then pop up screen to add name of account user and users email address. next menu, TB was successful finding the server but a small yellow flag says "unknown hostname" but lists the 3rd party host, that there is SSL/TSL security and the user name matches the new account information just entered. Incoming settings looked correct. The next screen is Choose email account type and it was auto populated by TB and all info is correct. Next, enter password (for new account?) and TB fails to create a new account. Says Authentication error unable to log in at server. Tried doing the manual config. Outgoing server protocol shows SMPT when it should be IMAP (correct?) but the field is un-selectable. So results are same, Unable to log in to server.

the manual config screen has a host name field and it is autofilled with my company's name.domain but it is misspelled! Tried to edit but no success. I really need to get this new account up quick! So asking for any help available.
