Still having the message-grouping issue: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1385113

The dirty workaround worked for some weeks but now again Thunderbird has this really annoying behavior. This makes Thunderbird even more annoying than Outlook.

Any progress on this? Will the setting be permanently saved in the future? And will it be easy accessible in the menu? Any chance this can be disabled by default? Looks like only 3 people in the whole world use this...and 8 billion people have to deal with this trouble.

I run Thunderbird on 7 machines - both on linux and Windows...and this behavior really made it unusable. I really got into trouble since I didn't find messages through this behavior. Even I've overseen messages through this behavior. And when searching older messages, you can't sort them by date properly, since it's no straight timeline anymore... I really can't understand why this ever happened to Thunderbird, which was one (probably THE) best mailclients for more than 15 years now. But so its nearly completly useless and wastes time (and energy) every time for millions of users :(

What does repair folder actually do?

A search online gets answers like 'it rebuilds the index', but that's not very explanatory. Does it recreate the index by looking at the folder contents or by going back to the server and downloading emails again?

After a couple of odd things happening (emails appearing in the web version of Gmail, but not in my Thunderbird Inbox), I decided to repair my Inbox. It's an IMAP account with Gmail, and has got over 700 messages in it (yes I know, time for a clear out...).

Thunderbird went slow for quite a long time (like half an hour at least), and messages kept flashing up in the status bar at the bottom saying stuff like "Downloading message 237 of 700". When clicking on messages with large attachments, while the repair was apparently still underway, the messages took some time to load, though they seem to be about normal now.

Was it really downloading emails? I ask, because I have some archive folders MUCH bigger than the Inbox, and would like to know what to expect if I have to repair other folders.

For info: Thunderbird 91.11.0 (64-bit) running under Linux Mint 19.1

Recently Thunderbird has had to compact INBOX every time I delete even one email. This is a real nuissance. I didn't used to do that and rarely did it tell me it needed to do that. Now I made the mistake of letting it compact without permission. A REAL NIGHTMARE!!! PLEASE HELP

I posted a few days ago that all but the essential IMAP folders shared with Thunderbird (via Apple IMAP) had disappeared.

No one responded, OK, I'll try some stuff.

So I created new folders in Thunderbird, then when the showed on Apple, copied from one folder to the new one.

But when Thunderbird shuts down and restarts, even the newly created folders disappear.

Something is very wrong with this new release!

In the new Thunderbird 112.0 Beta 3, I can't scroll through my Message Filters.

If I click on Tools, then Message Filters, then select the pull down (Filter for:) and select Local Folders, I get no scroll bar. Since the first filter is selected, I can scroll with the arrow keys, BUT, the list does not move at all.

It is list the window is the full size of the list. Shrinking the window down and maximizing it makes no difference.

Any ideas?

I used to have Firefox update itself using automatic updates, and occasionally I would manually trigger an update by checking the HELP>ABOUT menu. For some time now, I am getting an error message inside the ABOUT pop-up window. The current message is "Unable to check for updates due to internal error".

I've un-installed and re-installed several times. It doesn't happen on other computers I own where updates work just fine.

I tried searching, but couldn't find anything relevant

Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks !

Hi

I want to clear data but the only option FF is offering is with cookies. I want to delete all but cookies.

Here it only says Cookies AND Site Data. But I want Site Data without Cookies. Can I somehow manually delete those files? Or manually selectively empty some tables in SQLite databases that FF uses? If yes then what files/databases exactly?

scroll bars cover website-widgets (check boxes) (110.0.1 64-Bit)!! e.g., when trying to activate a checkbox at the right edge (Amazon, marking an item to cancel an order) that is not possible because the firefox scrollbar (right side) covers the Amazon checkbox, so it is impossible to mark it, and so the order cannot be cancelled!

This is an unacceptable malfunction!!

(OTOH, on MSEdge, the scrollbar sits to the right of the checkboxes without ever covering them, so it's obvious that this is specific Firefox malfunction!!!)

I need someone here to please help me with resetting my Thunderbird email Version 102.9.0 (64 Bits). The Settings are messed up and I don't know how to reset them! You can contact me at my two email addresses [emails removed from public forum] Thank you in advance for helping me!!! Carl

Somehow the option for line-spacing has changed itself in this most recent 102.6.1 "update". The Messages listing display format in the Inbox (and all other folders) was like this until recently:

Local Folders

  Inbox
  Message 1
  Message 2
  Message 3
  Message 4

Message spacing now:

Local Folders

  Inbox
  Message 1

  Message 2

  Message 3

  Message 4

Help! Thanks to anyone who could suggest a solution.

Suddenly getting error message "Unable to connect to your IMAP server. You may have exceeded maximum connections to this server. Use Advanced IMAP server settings to reduce the number of cached connections" I am on the lastest

Thunderbird version  I changed the cached connections number from 5 to 1. I turned off all devices and waited overnight. Still getting the unable to connect message today.

Hi I'm trying to download large files but they keep failing due to problems at the host. I can resume the download when this happens but I don't want to keep doing this. Is there any way to auto-resume?

I created a second profile through this: Click the menu button, click Help and select More Troubleshooting Information. The Troubleshooting Information tab will open. Under the Application Basics section next to Profile Folder, click Open Folder also here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-firefox-stores-user-data

after I did that, I decided to delete the file of that profile in my folder, so now every time I open Firefox it says "Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." And then it closes the browser.

I don't know how to fix this - I have two other profiles in my Firefox user's folder (release default and default)

I've been to several websites in the last couple of days that won't load in firefox, but will in chrome ( which I had to download to order groceries and I am not super happy about it ). the most egregious was today, I tried to order groceries from a major grocery store: meijer.com and the main page opened but if I like searched for "coke" it would freeze and nothing would load. not just coke, but also any other search term

Once a while Firefox would freeze up and when that happens it would without fail reboots the phone if the phone goes to sleep and if I don't force close the app quickly. It might've done so anyway without putting it to sleep but I haven't tested leaving the screen on long enough. I noticed that if I was quick enough and force stop the app the phone doesn't reboot, but that window is really short. Maybe 2 seconds or so. Suffice to say force stopping didn't always work since the window is so short. When Firefox freezes other apps and phone functions work normally. It's been ongoing for a while through multiple updates. I see some people have already reported this same issue here. Can Mozilla fix this please? I have uBlock origin addon installed thanks. Also this never happened with my Pixel 3 phone which I was using up until a few months back so maybe it's pixel 6a specific. Alot of people have this same issue with pxiel6a from googling. It can freeze on any site I visit but one example is reddit.

I keep getting the message about to many server settings open. I have reduced the number to and the problem still persists, and I cannot receive any emails. What needs to be done?

Hi

All of a sudden Thuderbird is unable to find one of my email servers. One day it worked. The next day it stopped receiving emails. So I deleted the account and tried to add it again, but now Thunderbird can't find it.

The settings didn't change and the email account continues to work without trouble with Bluemail on my Android phone. There is no problem with the other email account on Thunderbird, which is through a different provider.

The settings are entered correctly as described by mail.com and as seen in attached screenshot. Email address entered correctly. Password entered correctly.

Please help.

If I do a Google search for a Wikipedia article on a fresh launch AFTER going to Help/Troubleshooting Information/clear the startup cache, the page renders as attached. Other pages also render oddly like this at random.

Have refreshed Firefox - no effect Tried launching with addons disabled - no effect Default theme - on, no effect Hardware acceleration off - no effect

Launching in Safe Mode DOES seem to fix it, but I cannot keep working in safe mode - anyone any idea?

Clearly something in Safe Mode is being deactivated beyond addons etc
