My old email program it allowed me to "mouse-over" the message title and see the real originating address. Thus someone claiming to be Amazon had to have Amazon.com in that address. Thunderbird does not seem to have that important (to me) feature???

Please excuse my unfamiliarity with the technical vocabulary.

Earlier this year I switched on Thunderbird to see what new emails had arrived. It started downloading ALL my emails from two of the five email accounts I have. I have a lot of emails as the accounts date from 2010.

Because I was concerned that I might exceed limits on the number of emails I can store on Thunderbird I spent hours going through the different folders and deleting as many of the duplicates as I could.

I switched on Thunderbird today and saw that the same process was happening again. In the time it took me to click on 'Work Offline' it had downloaded 263 emails I already have!

I would be very grateful if someone could tell me:

How can I stop it downloading the hundreds of other old emails? How can I stop this process ever happening again? Why is it happening at all?

Thank you for taking the time to read my request.

For obvious reasons I have unticked the 'Email me when someone answers the thread' so I may be a little slow in acknowledging any responses.

Every time I get a new message in my inbox I have to click it before it gets downloaded. My internet connection is slow, so I have to wait for 20-30 seconds before I can read it. Then I click the next one, etc. Checking email takes a long time. I'd love for Thunderbird to download messages for me automatically as soon as they arrive. How can I achieve this?

I am on 102.11.2

Already tried various settings with no success.

1) Under Account Settings > Synchronization & Storage > Message Synchronizing the checkbox "Keep messages in all folders..." is checked.

2) I set "mail.imap.mime_parts_on_demand" to false.

These things did not help.

Hi all, how can I 1/ automatically forward mails 2/ in a way that attachments are NOT attached inline (even if they are incoming as inline)?

We forward all accounting emails to the accounting software. The accounting software, a SaaS, filters out all incoming emails, which have attachements attached inline.

Thus, I would like to attach all attachements "normal", not inline. Even if the attachment was attached inline originally.

thanks a ton in advance tom

I have just read that TB's policy is to delete messages in the trash after a certain amount of time.

I'm not sure what policy they follow for this, as the Activity Manager says "Deleted 1 message fom Trash", but does not let you know what msge was deleted. When I look at my trash, I can see I have things from YEARS ago, so I'm wondering what they follow to have things deleted.

However, in the end, I don't really like that TB deletes things even in my trash. I get this is to save space, but I personally do not care about space, and I use my emails like a database where I have saved myself from looking back into my trash and remembering something I failed to do for instance. Or even something I accidentally deleted and found it again.

Anyway, The fact that there is a setting in Account Settings -> Synchronization & Storage -> Do not delete any messages and TB still deletes the trash it its own discretion sucks.

I love TB and want to use it forever. Is there a place I can voice this to them and ask they provide an options to not deleted anything on any folders. Or maybe prompt to delete something first, show us what that email is.

I get I can create another folder, but I'm much happier just hitting the delete button, but know that this email will linger somewhere in another folder...

Thanks for reading

One of the webmail services I use is closing down and I am starting to use Gmail instead. It was a straightforward service, which I used for nearly 20 years, but with limited online storage. I used Windows Live Mail (and its predecessors) as an offline archive (using the word in the conventional sense) of emails, locally stored (and backed up) in a large set of folders within WLM, only going online to offload mails from webmail as needed. I should like to do the same with Gmail, keeping only active messages online. But Gmail will not talk to WLM so I am hoping to use TB instead. I do not wish to synchronise TB and Gmail, nor to send/receive messages in TB — just in effect "import" mails from Gmail into TB, arrange them in locally created folders within TB, then delete them from Gmail. Usage of TB would be largely offline. Is it possible to use TB this way? I have read many useful question threads in the forum and some wiki articles but remain quite uncertain as to whether and how. I am quite old now and though I have used PCs at work & home since they first appeared I am not technically proficient... I have made the Gmail account POP3, which I think is right. I am aware only Inbox will show in TB and am happy to move messages from Sent, etc., in order to move them into TB. I'm unclear if I can set automatic delete from Gmail of moved messages: this may be an IMAP only thing. But I am happy anyway to manually delete them later in Gmail; we're not talking 1000s of emails. I'm fairly sure local folders can be created in TB. WLM (I think) saves messages in separate .eml files. I am unsure if that would be, or could be, the same in TB or if an extension is necessary. I have seen talk of mbox and maildir but do not understand when these issues arise. I am sure there are others factors I should take into account and some I have forgotten already to list here. I shall be grateful for any advice offered. I apologise for this long message: thank you for getting this far! Thanks again, Peter

I used to have no problem accessing gmail until they stopped allowing less secure app access. Every since then whenever I tried to access my gmail accounts with Thunderbird I get the message "Authentication failure while connecting to server imap.gmail.com". I have done research and made sure I have all the correct settings regarding OAuth2 and cookies and whatever in both Gmail and Thunderbird. But I have never been able to get it to work.

Then suddenly out of the blue I get this login screen for Google that opens in a new Thunderbird window that I haven't seen before. I mean I hadn't even upgraded or restarted Thunderbird for a very long time and it's just been opened in the background working away. So who knows what happened to make that appear. In any case, after I logged into my Google account using that Thunderbird window, and went through the million security notifications from Google about it, I was actually able to access my Gmail account at last.

The trouble now is that I have several Gmail accounts. And I can only access one this way. The others still give me that authentication error. I have checked to make sure that all account settings are exactly the same, and they are.

What can I do to get my other Gmail accounts working in Thunderbird? Is there anyway I can trigger Thunderbird into giving me that Google login windows for my other accounts?
