I have the same problem as asked in: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1440873#question-reply (I can no longer reply to that thread as it has been archived, so I am asking again now in search of an answer).

To reiterate the problem, draft emails are save correctly into the 'Drafts' folder in both Thunderbird and the Gmail web app, but only Thunderbird will correctly delete the draft once the email has been sent. In the Gmail web app, the draft email remains in the 'Drafts' folder.

Why can't Gmail automatically delete draft emails that have been sent? Is there a solution?

I am using Thunderbird 128.5.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11.

long time thunderbird user but suddenly can receive emails ok but when trying to send get message "error occured mail server responded sender rejected. " don't know what to do watterson @charter.net

I have 2 problems that I would like some help with. I have a dead email account I would like to delete. The company deleted their email server. I can delete my account but when Thunderbird gets shut down for any reason, the email account shows up again. I have even logged in as administrator and deleted the account. The account returned. If I log out of Thunderbird and log back in, the account returns. If I have a power failure, when I log back in, the account has returned. If I log out to do a re-start, the account returns. The second question is similar. I have an account that I can add and it works very well but if Thunderbird is shut down, it disappears. Then I have to put it back in. Putting the account in as "admin" does not help either. Yes, I can put it in as "admin", but it will disappear if Thunderbird is shut down. I have thought about changing all the information in the one account that I cannot delete to the information in the other account that I cannot keep to see if this is a workaround. I am afraid I will miss one little setting and have a mess. Ideas and suggestions are welcome.

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

For some reason, I am getting message that the Certificate for server is not valid (etc.). I can not get or send my emails as of this morning. Is there something I can do to resolve this issue?

I just uploaded TB to my new computer. Now it seems to be downloading emails from years ago from Gmail. Help! I just wanted new email that I could choose to save on my computer. I did select Pop 3. I don't really know what I'm doing. Jean Green

I have a large amount of emails stored in a mail server (almost 22G), and the service will expire next month. So I want to use Thunder Bird to keep these emails in my local drive for later access. I am new to this software, and have a few questions. 1. Should I use IMAP or POP3 for my purpose? 2. Because it is a huge volume, I guess it may take several days to download all emails. Then, can I turn off Thunder Bird while it is downloading or pause the download process and resume later? What if the downloading process be interrupted due to internet disconnection, power failure or other reasons? Can the software resume where it leaves and ensure the integrity of all emails? Thank you for any help!

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 moving from classic outlook to Thunderbird and I am having trouble finding how to change fonts and color in signatures for my emails. I do not do html it is a simple signature; name company name and phone numbers. I search and found no help. Is there a way to change color and font in the reply to an email? Sorry I know this sounds simple but I have been using outlook since it came out so this is similar but just enough to give me trouble. Thank you for any help, rick

Hi I have problems after my Thunderbird latest update to 128.5 esr(64bitd). The picture file of my signatures has changed to a larger size, and none of the instructions issued to change this are working or are not there.

Hi everyone,

I’m having some trouble with Thunderbird and could use some guidance. I’ve been trying to install the latest version, but I keep running into issues. The installation either fails midway or gives an error message I can’t figure out.

Also, for the times when I’ve managed to install Thunderbird, I’ve noticed that updates don’t seem to apply properly. The program either doesn’t update automatically or prompts me to download the full installer again.

Could someone explain the proper steps for installing Thunderbird and ensuring updates are applied correctly? Are there any common pitfalls or settings I should check to avoid these issues?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello I have an application that shows forms where the input fields are inserted on table columns. When the column contains two fields sometimes the second field is showed not in the same line.

It must be said that the second field is added after the creation of the form.

Whit Chrome and Edge the form is showed correctly. At this Link the behavior can be seen. Thanks

I'm unable to send any email with Thunderbird on my new Windows11 laptop. I've used Thunderbird for years and years on the old Windows10 one, but it won't send anything with the new one. The version info it gives is "128.5.1esr (64-bit)" Whenever I try to send an email message, it waits a long long time and then gives a popup saying "Login to server smtp.mail.yahoo.com with username bill.marshall@verizon.net failed." It gives me an option to enter a new password, and if I click there it doesn't let me enter the password again, just re-tries, again waits a long long time, then gives the same error popup. When I cancel, it gives a new popup saying to check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in Account Settings. Authentication method looks fine, but the password (Settings->SavedPasswords) is empty (?? But I entered the password when I started Thunderbird and asked it to save it).

I updated from TB 115 to 116. I had to re-enter email and calendar (to Google) connection info. Calendar does not display. Email and Contacts seem alright. Is Provider still needed?
