I was switching from Outlook to Thunderbird and not being familiar with the tab layout made a dumb mistake, I thought I was deleting a tab with filtered spam but instead I selected all in my unified inbox and hit send to trash. It dumped about 4000 into trash that were not important but when that was empty it started pulling older email off the IMAP servers and filling the trash up again. I have about 28000 emails (I assume that makes me a hoarder) about 200 of which need to be kept. I took Thunderbird offline, deleted the Windows app, redownloaded and as soon as I added the accounts back in it started deleting again. Is there anyway to stop the delete all inbox transfer or do I just need to go back to Outlook or another email client?

I think the last Thunderbird has broken my ability to send reports from QuickBooks to Thunderbird. It has worked wonderfully for years and now I cannot send anymore. I have QB 2024 Enterprise. Does anyone have a fix for this? I have made sure Thunderbird is the default app in both Thunderbird and Windows. I have not upgraded my windows 10 to windows 11. I hope that is not the problem.

I can no longer pin extensions/add-ons to the toolbar. My interface does not look like the one in the help section. I don't see a gear, I see three dots. And when I click on the three dots I don't have the option to pin to toolbar.

I am using Firefox 147.0.4 on Mac OS 26.3 Tahoe.

Problem with recurring events in the caldav (external) calendar. If you delete one instance of an event (today), events for previous days are automatically created.

Thunderbird ver. 140.7

I'm trying to find a solution for having all tabs open across devices. Currently, my desktop has about 50 open tabs that I access regularly. Today, I installed Firefox on my laptop, signed in and initiated syncing. All bookmarks came over, everything looks great, except that none of my open tabs from the desktop browser show on my laptop.

I would like to have identical tabs open across devices. Is there a way to configure this where a new computer being logged in automatically receives all open tabs from the initial device and then tabs automatically sync based on whatever is opened/closed on either device after the initial tabs are identically synced?

No longer a Spectrum cable user. Been using Firefox/Tbird for years. Will I still be able to use existing (charter.net/Spectrum) email address via Tbird?

Dear Support Team,

I am experiencing problems logging in to my Onet email account. The issue occurs when I try to access my mailbox, particularly through Mozilla Thunderbird.

Could you please let me know what might be causing this issue? Is there any specific configuration required in my Onet account settings before logging in?

Additionally, do I need to reconfigure any settings in Thunderbird (such as incoming/outgoing server settings, ports, SSL/TLS, or authentication method) to ensure successful login?

I would also like to mention that I do not experience any login issues when using email accounts from Wirtualna Polska (WP/O2) or Gmail in Thunderbird. The problem seems to occur only with my Onet account.

Please let me know if you need any additional details from my side. I would appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Kind regards, Konrad

I just got a new Dell Windows 11 desktop PC to replace my old Dell Windows 10 PC. Since switching, there are three sites that will absolutely not load the homepage: Paypal, Venmo, and Common Dreams (which is a news site). The same sites continue to load instantly on my old Windows 10 PC in Firefox, and on the new Windows 11 PC on Edge. Firefox is the only browser I use, I just use Edge to test sites, I uninstalled Chrome because of Google's privacy and AI issues.

In the lower left corner of the window for these three sites are the following messages, for the three respective sites:

• Waiting for www.paypalobjects.com...

• Sending request to jssdks.mparticle.com...

• Waiting for www.commondreams.org...

What's going on here? Seems strange that Firefox continues to behave normally on Windows 11 for all sites except these three, and works perfectly for these three sites on my Windows 10 PC. How can I further troubleshoot and fix this? I don't want to have to use Edge to visit these three sites, esp. Paypal and Venmo.

I'm guessing it has something to do with cache or history but am not sure how to proceed...

Is the feature supposed to behave this way? I find this rather tedious. Am I missing something here?

Current behavior:

My installation does not seem to automatically execute spam filtering for unified folders or saved searches. As soon as I manually select one of the included folders within - e.g. an individual mail acccount's inbox - the algorithm triggers and everything works as expected, but only for the one folder I clicked. This leaves me with having to click through all my mail accounts manually to make use of the adaptive junk mail controls function.

Expected behavior:

Selecting a unified folder triggers junk mail controls for all the included folders and moves messages to the respective junk folders automatically.

Changed my BT mail password. I can receive mail but when trying to send I am asked to enter password which is not recognised. The SMTP server does not reccognise this. I have checked other questions and all seems well in my settings, i.e. changed stored passwords, but I must have missed something.Any advice most welcome Don

I purchased Mozilla VPN (new customer) on February 7th. I canceled my VPN subscription yesterday (February 17th). When I signed up I was told that I have a 30 day grace period to get my money back. How do I get my money back?

In a thread discussion about the flag, "browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory" dated 23-Nov-2022 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33706117) it was mentioned that we've disabled tab unloading on Linux because low-memory detection just didn't work.

Has the issue been fixed? Does the low-memory detection work in Linux? Can it be enabled now?

Does it get triggered when SWAP is being used? Or when system free RAM falls say to about 25% of total physical RAM?

Hello all:

Transferring Thunderbird from the system above to the system noted above. Follow the instructions from here on the Mozilla Support page (copied both "Thunderbird" directories into the Roaming and Local destination directories. When the destination machine installation opens, it is functional (i.e. it picks up all the existing e-mail accounts, downloads new mail, etc...). The problem starts when we get to the local folders.

All of these have a date and time appended to them in the destination installation. For example, if the original folder is "Prosperity Bank" the destination folder is labeled "Prosperity Bank (2025_09_21 23_06_33 UTC)" and will not let not populate (shows no messages inside).

As I am typing this, it seems I may have identified the problem (or at least part of it). It seems the destination system install is slowly working its way through the local folders randomly (not in alphabetically order), as it seems to be slowly populating them with the old mail stored therein on the original system. It is going very slowly. Very slowly.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal? Is there any way to quickly eliminate the dates now appended to the local file names? (Visually this is very annoying and I do not want to try modifying the individual folder names yet until I'm sure its populated as much as it will populate.)

Thank you for any assistance.
