The global search in TB is completely defective. I am now running 128.2.0esr and hoped that update might fix it. It hasn't. I just wonder, are there any older or non ESR versions I can downgrade/move to, where the search is fully functional?

I am just a non-computer-literate old woman. I have tried to follow advice from the community forum. All that SMTP stuff is Greek to me. Since the last update to Thunderbird, I can't reach my daughter or my neighbour. One uses Hotmail and the other Yahoo. sometimes after about 4 days my neighbour will tell me he finally got a message.

Please change this. The only way I can reach them is to leave Thunderbird for webmail. It's a nuisance. Can someone please advise.

For a long time I'm having issues with messages in Inbox (and Junk Mail) are automatically moved to Deleted Items. It does not seem to be a fixed period of time. Sometimes it is 1 day sometimes more. The mail account is on an IMAP mail server (imap.pangia.biz). I have both Thunderbird on desktop and Thunderbird on mobile (previously K9) and that might even increase the issue frequency. Currently I started to loose some mails in Deleted Items as if they have been permanently deleted. However if I login to the web based online account I still can find the mails in trash folder.

Is this a known issue? How can I troubleshoot further? A sync. mismatch problem? Is the issue with my mail account provider how can I pinpoint the problem?

On 29 Nov 2024, TBird stopped downloading all emails from all my accounts. I have not changed anything on the computer and have run all the troubleshooting routines I can find for TBird. Still not working. Interestingly, when Better Bird import the settings from TBird, it exhibited the same issues. Any suggestions?

TIA

Hi - on my Thunderbird I can see what seem to be duplicates of my mail accounts. Please see pic. These are IMAP accounts. At the top where is says INBOX - I can open that up and reveal all my email accounts - and any subfolders I have in them. Then at the bottom I now seem to have duplicates of these mail accounts although the icon is slightly different.

Subfolders in the top email accounts within the INBOX - seem to periodically move down to the accounts at the bottom which is really confusing.

How can I tidy this up please? Thanks for any help. Jonathan

Hi,

I get messages from Gumtree which often get marked as Junk.

Is it possible to add a specific Domain to the Thunderbird White List ie @chat.gumtree.com

I have searched for this issue, but all the posts and replies I've found are very old and not very helpful.

Regards, Paul

It seems that ever since my Thunderbird auto-updated to 128.5.1, sending messages with attachments is VERY slow. I just sent a client an email with a 6.9 MB attachment and it took over 2 minutes to send. A few weeks ago, that would have gotten sent in seconds. I tried cleaning out my Inbox and Sent box by moving most of the messages to local folders, but no change. Any thoughts? Anyone else having this issue?

Good Day

First ... -> Wayne Mery don't delete this post. This is not duplicate. If You want delete ... delete solved post. Thanks for making me type everything out again Wayne - you've been very helpful.

Back to the topic.

MT new installation - does not remember passwords despite checking the "checkbox" in the IMAP account. This also applies to Google accounts for calendar (non-IMAP account). The password manager is empty. After restarting MT, the same.

When splitting up a home, what needs to be done to separate the access via the nonmobile devices? There are two people and thunderbird is what I/we have used for file structure. One person can access both Gmail accounts files, folders, etc. on the in-house, or non-mobile system, but the other person cannot. On our mobile phones, neither can access folders other than their own.

How to completely separate the email account access, without creating confusion?! Ian pretty sure both email accounts are set to IMAP and not POP. So what is the easiest way to learn and complete this task?

Thanks, Steve

I am about to set up a new Windows 11 laptop. The old one is a Win10 one, running Thunderbird 128.4.3 32-bit. Note I haven't upgraded to 5.2esr yet. My Thunderbird profile as recorded by Mozbackup is about 16GB - most of this is archived in Local Folders. I have 15 email accounts (using four different domains, none of them are gmail or hotmail etc) and a newsgroup.

I've looked at various answers (and problems!) around these factors and cannot see the wood for the trees. Can anybody tell me - or direct me to - a clear description of how to go about this? Some questions are:

1. Can I install 64-bit on the new laptop and copy over the old 32-bit profile? If not, is there any problem in continuing to use a 32 bit Thunderbird? I am getting a lot of hanging/not responding in the current TB. Note I haven't upgraded to 5.2esr yet.

2. How do I ensure that all the archived mail is transferred without problems? I haven't compacted anything lately, since I noticed that sometimes a message stub is retained where the message body seems to have disappeared, and that compacting risks deleting even the message stub, which can be useful.

3. I've been using MozBackup for ages now but it is really ancient - is there a more up-to-date backup that would be reliable?

Thanks in advance! I'm planning on do the new installations at the weekend but anything I can do to prepare would be useful to know!

bonjour j'ai 3 boites Gmail gérés avec Thunderbird sur mon pc , mais aussi avec application mail (native) sur iPhone et appli mail sur tablette Android. ai réussi a modifier abonnement a ce dossier "tous les messages" sur Thunderbird pour qu'il n'apparaisse plus a l'écran , mais toujours présent sur iphone et android et donc si je supprime tous les emails de ce fameux dossiers sur mon iPhone ou ma tablette , il se retrouvent aussi supprimer sur mon pc , même en les ayant classé auparavant dans des dossiers spécifiques. tres compliqué a gerer , et jamais sur de ne pas perdre de mails je suis peut etre un peu vieux mais si quelqu'un a une solution simple , je serais ravi merci tony c.

Hello,

I am in the process of linking my mail account via Thunderbird on my computer. However, I can no longer see my normal folder structure. However, if I link my account via my Android phone using the Thunderbird app, I have the option of selecting so-called special folders (see attachment screenshot 1). If I then select INBOX, my usual folder structure can be accessed again in the linked mail account on my phone (screenshot 2). Why don't I have this option in Thunderbird on my computer? Perhaps I thought I was using an outdated version of Thunderbird on my computer, but I cannot see the version number and cannot check whether I can update Thunderbird or not.

Best regards, Dr. Jan-Christian Raabe

I have a filter that successfully moves certain incoming emails to a server folder named "Bills". I would like to have a filter that automatically moves the emails in the server's Bills folder to a local Bills folder when the email is over 60 days old. Is this possible?

I have Thunderbird installed on my PC and I have a HOW TO question.

I have my wife's email account setup to forward all mail to my email account. When the mail arrives, I have a filter that moves her mail to a folder and that filter works great. My problem was that we received an email yesterday where the TO line contained my both my email addresses (i.e. MMMM.xxxxx.com WWWW.ggggggggg.com). My email is not filtered and stays in the inbox but when the message arrived, the filter saw her address on the TO line in addition to my address and moved the message to her folder and I did not see the message since it was no longer in the inbox.

I tried to setup new, additional filter that I thought might work where the TO line contained both addresses where the filter action was to copy the message to her folder but leave the message in inbox but that didn't work. Since this message was from our homeowners association I tried FROM contains (i.e. @HOAssociation.com) and one or both of our email addresses on the TO line with the action still being a copy to her folder but that didn't seem to work either.

It was late at night (early morning) so I gave up and decided to ask for help so if anyone knows how to set this up. please let me know. Thanks.

Today when I launched Thunderbird it opened the program to Account Setup window. I clicked the Inbox tab at the top and I noticed all my folders were gone as will as all my email accounts, saved emails, calendar setting, basically it looks like a fresh install. An internet didn't offer much help. I did find some info about Troubleshooting Information from the Help option and found the profile folder location. It looks like there are still folders there but I am not sure what they really contain. I tried installing Thunderbird on top of the current program but it made no difference. I also tried an Import of the Default file location that Thunderbird suggested and I got an error message that the Import failed unexpectedly. I've scanned my PC for any viruses and found none. I am using the latest version of Windows 11. Seems like a weird problem as I used Thunderbird yesterday with no problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx,

i can not receive mails, since the update to 128.5.2ESR not on imap.strato.com not on imap.gmail.com not on mail.yourhosting.com

just since today after the update. sending emails seems to work.

I did NOT change anything in the accounts.

How to solve????

Thank you.

Hello,

I have the latest thunderbird (128.5.1esr (64-bit)), running on Windows 11 and connected to a mailcow server.

I am having problems with creating calendar events - they are created 1 hour in the future. They show up fine in thunderbird, but Mailcow/SOGo and mobile phones, etc all show the incorrect time.

If I create an event outside thunderbird, or edit it outside thunderbird, all is ok.

I have opened the error console, and it gives me a number of warnings "Calendar: Could not find definition for W. Australia Standard Time"

I am not sure where it is looking for this - but that is the timezone my computer is set to, it exists in the registry, etc.

There is an attached screenshot with more details of the error - maybe its java library issue or something?

Regards, Mal.

Is it possible to use Thunderbird's export function to export emails sent/received between two dates on my desktop and then import that onto the work laptop? I need to update work's new laptop and only need to do it between two dates.
