Although I certainly do not keep all emails, I do file a LOT. I have about 200 folders for topics and people. I use the filing feature EVERY SINGLE DAY. Suddenly when I looked at email today, the message filing feature is missing. I have to have this feature.

I am a retired librarian. This may explain my love of with organizing and storing. I suspect I am not the only person horrified to see things missing from Thunderbird today.

My husband and I have used Thunderbird ever since Qualcomm stopped supporting Eudora.

Messages going to JUNK is STILL a problem even today after the downgrade. I know to use Shift-J, but Thunderbird DOES NOT LEARN. This is annoying, but less important than the filing issue.

Hello This is rather weird... to me at least!

I recently noticed while I was replying an email, that when I type numbers they are not visible.

If I send email - sent it to myself, I can see numbers are there!

Only happens on new emails!

I already tried downgrading up to the point I could not downgrade more as - it obviously and annoyingly cannot load emails on a not very old version.

Never mind that - I much preferred version 1115-125 really.

Can anyone help.

I am going insane.

On any other computer with various version all works.

Thank you M

I allowed Thunderbird to compact my files after I got tired of seeing the prompts for it, now all my messages are apparently gone for one account, in over 12 different sub folders. How do I get these back’ for ‘Thunderbird’ ? VERY IMPORTANT! version 144.0.1 (64 bit)

This is the second time I have lost emails with Thunderbird.

IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, I AM DONE WITH THIS CRAP!

Not sure if this is the correct subject heading.

Thunderbird 140.1.1esr for Windows 11 - no add-ons I have 4 email accounts (2 with Google). For some time I have been having trouble with Unified Folders. From the Folders pane on the left of the screen, - the Inbox and Deleted folders appear to be working as intended, if I expand either folder, it correctly displays the 4 accounts, and if I click on either folder, it correctly displays the messages for all 4 accounts - the Sent folder also appears to be working to an extent, if I expand the Sent folder, it displays the 4 accounts plus a duplicate of one of the Google accounts. If I click on Sent, it correctly displays the sent messages for all 4 accounts - the Drafts and Junk folders are both problematic - if I expand the Drafts folder, it displays only 1 of the 4 accounts plus a duplicate of the 1 account. If I click on Drafts, it correctly displays the draft messages for all 4 accounts - if I expand the Junk folder, it displays only 3 of the 4 accounts with 1 of the Google accounts missing, plus a duplicate of one of the non-Google accounts. If I click on Junk, it displays No Messages Found even though I know there are messages to be found My problem is the inconsistent way it treats the Sent, Drafts and Junk folders. I can't rely on them to drill down into individual accounts. If I need to do that I have to go online to webmail, which kind of defeats the object of using Thunderbird. If I disable Unified Folders and use All Folders everything is fine. Is there any way to get the unified folders to behave as one would expect? PS I've tried deleting smartmailboxes but this didn't help.

I logged into my email account and almost 3 months of my most recent emails had disappeared. I don't know what happened. They were there the last time I checked my email about 5-10 minutes earlier. I've looked in other folders but they aren't there either. Aso tried repairing the folder with no success. Is there a way to recover these emails? I've been trouble shooting / googling this all afternoon and kept seeing reference to a recovery tool. Is this something already on Thunderbird or software I need to purchase? I really want to know if there is a way to recover the lost emails and how to do it. Thanks.

Today, when I use, create, or rename a sub folder in my inbox, then move an email into it, the email doesn't display in the sub folder. (it says no message found). All filters are off. Across the top of the open sub folder, it says the name of the sub folder in bold, and says there are "2 messages". So, the messages were moved, but I can't see them. I have version 140.4.0esr, 32 bit. Interestingly, it hasn't asked for an update. Also, I'm using Windows 10 Home, v 22H2, 64 bit. I appreciate any thoughts, folks. Thanks! Allan

For months I have been working around a problem with Original HTYML message displays in my inbox. I have to revert to message body as Simple HTML for it to be readable. Please see the screenshot.

My emails sent folder has 485 messages. Is there a way to delete them all at once instead of individually?

Also how do you check for new email if you're in the program. I have been shutting Thunderbird down and then opening it back up. Is there another way of doing this?

Hi, I am a Building Inspector so take lots of photos and email a lot of documents. I try and delete all inbox and save sent items to a local folder on my computer, but my I phone storage still says that they are not actually deleting from the email program and are being stored somewhere. How do I reduce this storage? I can't download any more Iphone updates because of this.

I really don't know where to go, but I hope you can help. I do realize that when two products are involved it is 'THE OTHER GUY causing my problem. I've encountered it in the past. I use Mailwasher Pro to preview my incoming mail. It marks some important mails as Comcast/junk. I delete the real junk and leave those on the list of mails I want to download, and decide whether those are worth keeping (many are) after fully reading them. Thunderbird bypasses these on my incoming mail list. It seems to me that if there is mail to download, Thunderbird should do exactly that. How can I manage this, please?

Migrating from Gmail to ThunderBird- Do I have/where to get ThunderBird email address if I want to "escape" Google? Also a tad confused as to how Firefox/Mozilla/Thunderbird relate to one another!

Thanks, Donna

All of a sudden, this error message started popping up every time I open my in box. Please help: What is the problem, and what can I do about it? I am not expert enough to figure out what I must do just from reading the error message. Image below. Thanks.

Hi, I would like to inform you that, following the last automatic update, almost all of my local folders have disappeared. I have tried the option "repair start", but with no result. When I tried to create one of the folders that had disappeared, I received the message "the folder already exists", but as you can imagine, I can't see it!!! What is happening? I am really worried...please help me... Thanks!

I was thrilled to learn that in the latest releases of Thunderbird, the developers added native Exchange account support.

I was able to successfully add one of my Exchange accounts; however, for another, I get an error:

"Authentication failed. Please check the username and password" (see attached image)

The dialog box hangs with a frozen spinning wheel. Pressing escape closes the dialog box.

I made sure that the email address was correct. If it helps diagnose the problem, the email domain is @uvic.ca (University of Victoria). I am on version 141.0 of Thunderbird (64-bit).

With such a recent feature, there are sure to be bugs, so I thought that I would report this one. Thank you in advance for any help.
