I've tried unchecking things in settings without success to stop Thunderbird from automatically collecting email when it launches. I need to be in complete control of when Thunderbird collects email from the server. Could this be a Windows 11 issue? Thanks for any help you can give me.

I've just resumed using Thunderbird, with a new installation on a new computer, after a long period of having only my ISP's web interface. I'm having a problem with adaptive junk filtering: it thinks everything is junk until I tell it otherwise.

By default, it leaves putative junk messages in the Inbox, but displays a yellow ribbon above a junk message's preview with "Learn more" and "Not junk" buttons. In this configuration, having it assume everything new is junk is just a nuisance.

But eventually I will finish training it, and I'll want it to move junk to the Junk folder automatically. Then this behavior will be a disaster.

Using made-up numbers to illustrate, suppose I get 1000 messages per day. Of these, 998 are from addresses it recognizes, so it knows that 993 of them are junk and 5 are legitimate, because I've received email from those addresses before, and I've told it what to do with them. That leaves 2 messages which may or may not be junk.

It should leave those messages in the Inbox, preferably with some kind of warning, and let me decide whether they are junk or not. Instead it's going to move them to Junk, and I'll never know I got them unless I review all 995 new messages in the Junk folder... which would defeat the whole point of having a junk filter.

Is there a way to make the junk filter default to "not junk" when it doesn't know? I've looked at the configuration dialog, and I don't see one.

I am looking to create a local folder where I can archive my emails to a different drive. Lets call that drive D: for now. I want to setup in "Local Folders" A folder called "Archive" and I want that to reside on the D: Drive But want to keep my email accounts that all emails come into initially on the C: drive till I move the emails to the "Archive" folder that is on the D: drive. How do I do that? It does not seem to allow me to change the location of the folders in "Local Folders" When i create one.

Any help, Helps... Thank you

I have three e-mail account with same provider which had worked fine each sending mail under its e-mail account. Now two of the account receive the message below. The is another user setup on computer. They have two e-mail account and sending works fine Outgoing servers are setup identical for all accounts

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smpt.hughes.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

Hi

Last week we started having issues sending emails from our Thunderbird account (Optus email). When you go to press send we see a Add Security Exception pop up. When I click View we see the Issuer Name is DigiCert Inc. When I click Get Certificate it says No Information Available. We checked the SMTP setting with Optus today and they are correct.

Description: Optus Account Server Name: smtp.optusnet.com.au Port: 25 Connection Security: STARTTLS

If anyone has any ideas that would be great. Thanks Alysha

Using 2025-04 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5055612) Firefox 138.0.1 (64-bit) and says it is up todate. I have looked at the about:config to find the browser.tabs.remote.autostart but it does not exist in the list of processes. I have also unchecked in settings both performance options intermitently to try and correct this problem, but nothing happens: (unchecked) Use recommended performance settings Learn more These settings are tailored to your computer’s hardware and operating system. (Unchecked) Use hardware acceleration when available Nothing pops up to allow choosing a different number as many support articles say. I have AdBlocker running as an add on and turned off the duck duck go privacy essentials and still nothing stops these insane amount of processes clogging up my computer. right now, on this page there is only this tab open and there are 13 processes running. Please send real fix instructions- thank you

How to remove thumbtack icon from quick link icons on the homepage of Firefox.

The little thumbtack icon was by the name of the quick link on my home page. I updated to 139.0.4 and now thumbtack in top left corner of quick link icon. I want the thumbtack gone.

I have had an issue for quite some time now where I cannot set any details on my email addresses from the Account Settings screen on my Thunderbird install.

This has been an issue for quite some time I believe. The significance of the issue is that I cannot change SMTP servers because not only is the setting blank but when I select another SMTP it returns to default every time.

128.9.0esr (64-bit)

Please help! I am having to use a secondary email address for some of my clients because I cannot set up an SMTP server for them.

Hi guys. It used to be that when I read an email and click the delete button, the tab would close and it would return to the folder the email was in. But since the last update, it just shows me the next email in the folder.

Is there a way to change that? I want to return to the folder after an email was deleted. I don't want to look at the next email.

I looked in settings everywhere and if there is a way to change that in settings, I can't find it.

Thank you so much in advance for your help.

My 'sent', 'All Mail', 'Spam'; and 'draft' and 'templates' folders in my gmail account in Thunderbird have suddenly disappeared My other account looks fine, as is my husband's account I have deleted the account from thunderbird and reloaded it but it remains the same. My gmail account on my ipad and iphone still have the all correct folders in place Can you help please - ?

I checked the settings multiple times. The settings you see in the screenshot are correct. These are the settings I've used for the past 10 years. No problems until now. I just logged in today and Thunderbird did not want to work. K-9 Mail works just fine on all my Android devices. This is happening only on Thunderbird desktop.

• To troubleshoot the problem, I first removed the account and added it back. That did not work. • Next, I uninstalled Thunderbird and installed it back. Same problem persists. • This time I uninstalled Thunderbird using Geek Uninstaller to remove all related cache. Install Thunderbird back and try again. Did not work. • Read A2Hosting article a bunch of times: https://www.a2hosting.com/kb/getting-started-guide/setting-up-e-mail/accessing-e-mail-accounts-with-client-applications. Confirmed, all my settings are correct. Thunderbird is still not working.

Dear Support!

In order to index Thunderbird Emails in Copernic Desktop Search software, I need to install the “Thunderbird Connector for Copernic Desktop Search” in the Add-on and Themes menu. Unfortunately this Ad-don doesn’t seem to exist. Can you please suggest a solution?

제목 그대로입니다.

절대로 테마가 아닌 새 탭 페이지 즉 아무 웹사이트도 접속하지 않은 상태에서 이미지 변경하는 방법입니다.

오늘 업데이트가 되었다며 이미지를 변경하라고 해서 아무 이미지를 넣었다가 되돌릴 방법이 없어서 1시간을 낭비했습니다.

절대로 테마아닙니다. 새 탭 페이지입니다. 어떠한 부가기능도 사용하지 않았습니다. 이러한 문제가 아닌지 검토하라는 답변을 줄 경우 무조건 최악의 평가를 내릴겁니다.

Onboarding with RSS subscriptions for a couple weeks and can't make any sense out of the folder hierarchy structure.

• UI's folder structure & the Subscription settings folder structure screenshots included.
• Folder A seems logically coherent: a "folder full of feeds". Single folder in UI. Multiple feeds (3) show up in the queue
• Folder B structure starts to become much more incoherent

   - Feed's are actually folders now. Sometimes.
       + Feed1 & Feed3 = folders. But UI 'folder' displays just the one feed, as if it was a feed.
       + Feed2 = folder, with the 'actual' feed within it. But then it displays in the exact same way as Feeds 1 and 3
   - seem to have contradictions running in both directions.
       + If they are feeds, is confusing they display with folder icon
       + Not clear why a feed-as-a-folder would display exactly the same as a feed-within-a-folder

• "feed7" situation I can't understand to be anything other than a bug.

   - Subscribed to the feed within folder C. It instead shows up in the UI in Folder B. 
       + Which bafflingly *only* includes feed7, and does not roll up or aggregate any of the feed/folders (whatever they are) within it.

Like the integration of having RSS within Thunderbird, but need some clarification. Docs (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-subscribe-news-feeds-and-blogs#w_folders-and-accounts) were not of use.

Thanks.

I am transferring my thunderbird folder to a new computer and it is 235 GB. I dont understand why it is so large. Are ALL my emails being saved? How do I delete so I can make smaller??

Hello: Thanks for creating Firefox. This is my first question after more than a decade using it. I couldn't find proper information about this. This week Firefox started to show a tiny shopping cart icon over the task bar icon of Firefox (image attached). I don´t know what it's and I can't find the functionality that make that appear. So, How do I disable it? I use Firefox everywhere, and I don't like it, specially in my job's laptop as my boss can occasionally see it and it's obviously not work-related in my case. I use chatgpt to get answers and it points to a "Shopping Assistant" feature, but I don't find it. Is it related? The term is so common that I couldn't narrow down to my specific question (what is it and how to disable it)

I use windows 11 and 138.0.4 (64-bit)

Thanks in advance for help

Hello, I have an Outlook.fr account and I can't import messages from it into Thunderbird. Here are the installed settings: 1° IMAP = outlook.office365.com Port: 993 Connection security = SSL/TLS Authentication method = OAuth2 2° SMTP = smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Connection security = STARTTLY Authentication method = OAuth2

When I go to Outlook.fr via my browser, I have no problems accessing the Name account (Mail address + Password). What do I have to do to make it work? Thank you for your reply. Have a nice weekend.

I used troubleshooting mode and now my fonts and columns settings are gone. I had replaced Recipients column with From and Recipient in all my mail folders (I have lots). And everything looks different now. Different fonts and smaller text size everywhere.

How do I get my previous settings back?

BTW, the Troubleshooting Mode dialog is confusing. It didn't seem to do any thing until I checked a check box which followed the blurb about making the changes permanent. So I may have accidentally asked it to make them permanent. Not sure because the UI was unclear what it was asking me to do. Why are there 2 separate dialogs popping up? Do I have to tick something to make it enter TbS mode? Not clear. (I am technical but not about the internals of TB.)

I do have backups of my TB folder but I would need direction as to what files I would need to restore.

Thanks!

On Firefox Nightly 140.0a1,

The navigation bar (forward, back, tabs) is gone. I did not change any settings. Clearing cache, reinstalling, switching to the standard Firefox app did not bring it back.
