Thunderbird 社群討論區

I've been a Thunderbird user for years without problem. However, since May 22, three specific messages continually reappear after deleting them from my Inbox.

I keep my Inbox empty and it stays that way, except for these 3 messages. Removing them from the Trash folder has not solved the problem.

My email provider is netaddress.com via POP3 account. I signed on to look at my inbox on their site via a browser, and the messages aren't there.

I have tried repairing and compacting the inbox, but the messages continue t reappear.

Do you have any other suggestions?

TIA.

Multiple Thunderbird Problems that started around 9/1. (Now 9/8/26) TB won’t properly download emails

   • Status bar will say “downloading 1 of 61”, pulse a while, nothing happens, then says “nothing to download”.
   • Yesterday there were no downloads 5 pm to midnight. Left on overnight in the AM there were 114 emails in box, 20 of them dated previous day 2:33 pm to 5:43 pm
   • Morning Inbox also contains 9 emails dated 8/31, which are duplicates of emails received on that date and placed in trash then.
   • It is a big business problem that I cannot rely on receiving emails in timely manner.

Many times cannot simply SEND email in TB

   • I will compose email, click send, and recently cannot expect send to be successful. Often get the message "Sending failed because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) failed"
   • Sometimes 5 minutes later I click SEND and the message is sent. Other times it will not send at all for hours and I am forced to use my gmail account to send an important email.

Have performed the fixes suggested online without relief

   • I have checked that the SMTP is correct. (Also sometimes SEND works)
   • Have deleted the file global-messages-db.sqlite 
   • Saved my profile, deleted the TB program, reinstalled TB, copied in my old profile.

All my new incoming e-mails are ending up in the trash instead the inbox. This happens since about a week. I have to move all e-mails from the trash to the inbox. There are no active filters, so what is the problem? Also the layout has suddenly changed. Please help.

Thunderbird 153.1.1esr (aarch64) iMac macos Ventura 13.7.8

Hello,

When I start a new message, it's always shown 'Copy message to'. This has suddenly disappeared. (It puts copies into 'Sent'). I have 3 accounts set up; this seems to happen with all of them. I've probably clicked om something unusual, without noticing it. How can I get 'Copy message to' back again, please? Any suggestions? (I've tried clicking on things in Account Settings, without success.)

I see I've had a message from Mozilla saying 'Use 618307 to sign in'. I've been able to sign in and create thus message anyway. Is that normal, please?

Thanks for your help -- it's needed and appreciated.

All good wishes,

Roger Fern.

I'm new to the community and don't really know how things work, so maybe this is the wrong place for this. I had a seemingly catastrophic problem after updating yesterday. All of the emails sitting in my inbox disappeared, and were gone from the yahoo server as well. Long story short, I figured out what happened. In my filter rules I sometimes had a blank entry at the end of the list. Previously that had been ignored, but after the update it is now treated as a match. So the first filter that had a blank in it caused everything in my inbox to be moved to a certain folder in my Local Folders. Obviously, it would be legitimate to not allow blank entries in the filters, but once you've allowed it, you really shouldn't make a change. In the end the solution was simple, but it wasted a fair portion of my day figuring it out.

When sending a message, the email reaches the recipient but is not saved in the sender’s account. This email is not displayed anywhere — neither in the web version nor in Thunderbird. Please help resolve the issue.

On 3 August, Thunderbird was automatically updated on my Mac Mini to Version 155.0. Ever since, all incoming mail is placed in a folder called Satellite Radio, and distribution to the proper mailboxes stops.

Q.1. As the smtp server setting is "normal password" (screenshot 1), and I am entering my "normal" gmail password, why is it being rejected (screenshot 3)?

Q2. Why am I being asked for a "new password" (screenshot 2)?

I have a large number of filters, and an important email was processed to move message into a folder. but the filter had no rule that would apply to the message. all the filter criteria were based on the sender, but that email did not have that sender. the filter log shows the filter being applied anyway. I suspect the filter database is corrupted. How can I fix that? i noticed my version is slightly out of date, and I will update it, but I dont expect that would fix a corrupted filter database .

Mozilla Thunderbird will not pull through new emails to my inbox. The message is this: Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox. I've checked that I have enough disk space so not sure what the problem is or where to go to make sure the file system allows me to write privileges.

Hi!

Trying to add new account on latest Thunderbird instillation, added information/configuration what I use on another computer and in the end it says: Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nslOService.newURI]

Checked 10x for typing errors and it says same error. These account settings works great on previous versions wihtout Account Hub

How can I solve this?

Best regards,

Problem with message are going to the Trash folder, not the Inbox with all local folders in place. After taken in profile the local folders off, the new downloading from message are working just fine to the Inbox . What is the problem Thanks for helping.

When I returned from a 20-day vacation, I had a message that “Thunderbird had a problem and crashed. We’ll try to restore your tabs and windows when it restarts….” I do not know when the “crash” happened. However, I have had problems with my 5 AOL email accounts and sometimes the 3 GMAIL accounts since August 20. The AOL accounts are the worst problems. Emails from one account are coming through under a different email account. This is happening with two accounts. Emails for one of the accounts is not coming through at all. I can read messages; but I cannot send any messages through any AOL account. Sending messages through the GMAIL accounts is sporadic in going through. Although my husband and I have separately checked all TB menu items, tools, & settings, we have not found the answer to correct my problems. Any help is appreciated.

Thunderbird keeps bringing in emails automatically. I don't want it to download anything until I ask it to. This just started when i had to reinstall Tbird after it stopped working for me. 1. It downloads emails automatically 2. I only want emails upon my specific request. 3. I can no longer find any switch to allow me to turn of auto downloads.

I like to know what is the problem at my e-mail setting? Since two weeks ago, when I sent a message, receiver could get my message, but there were no sent record in my Sent Message box.

9.6.2026. Spoke with Spectrum, my carrier, to ensure email protocols were correct. They checked from their end and the problem is with Thunderbird protocols. There is no rhyme or reason to incoming emails. Sometimes they have their content but days have gone by where only the subject line/date/time stamp shows. What is going on???
