As of yesterday morning Thurnderbird won't download new message from comcast or gmail. It looks like it is trying to in first tab but just spins forever. Looks like it tries to at the bottom but nothing comes thou. Can still write and send emails out but it a message that was deliver but copy failed. Then error message saying Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Send email addres. Can't figure out how to fix this without uninstalling and reinstalling again.

Thank you in advance! Stephanie

Recently upgraded to 78.5.1 Big Sur on Mac & latest Windows 10 PC. Sorted by Date or Read / newest at bottom. On my Mac I clicked a link to previous online vendor and re-ordered some items. Soon thereafter, some old e-mails from that vendor seemed to have been touched and show at bottom with no date and 1:18pm time displayed. With Read they seem to show in correct order, but still only 1:18pm shows. I have several e-mail addresses from same IMAP server and none of those seem affected.

This same e-mail address and e-mails are ok on my PC. I logon to the IMAP webserver e-mail in Firefox and ok there too. However, on PC logging into vendor website account it wouldn't take my pw. I had to reset it to login. I have Norton Internet Security on both computers up to date, but of course they are different software due to OS.

I cannot figure out why these few e-mails only show 1:18pm. How do I fix it? Am I hacked? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

So like my title says, I recently started noticed my computer is very slow, making very loud fan noises every 5 - 15 seconds and freezing when the fan becomes loud. I notice in task manager I am running 9-10 firefox processes which take up close to 100% memory, even though I am running 1 tab. I don't know if this a virus, or bug, but it is screwing my computer over. I have 8 GB Ram, and it shows 100% in memory sometimes from firefox, I think this is some virus, but I don't know how to get rid of it.

I have all email accounts blocked from receiving. I deleted the passwords and changed the authentication configurations to try out but nothing happened. all imap / imaps and pop3 / pop3s are in limbo. Smpt / Smtps works perfectly. Do you have a solution ?? Thanks Alessio

I lost important starred emails from my Thunderbird account. I can't find them anywhere. I lost the entire month of November. Some other November emails show up in the "all emails" folder but not the ones that were starred. I need help recovering them and I'm not really that computer savvy. HELP!

I am using Thunderbird 78.4.3 (64-bit) under MacOSX 10.15.7. When I compose an email, I can select some text if I want to change the color, then I go either to the "Choose color for text" icon, or via the menu Format->"Text color...". In both cases, I have a set of controls, among which the part shown in the first attachment: if I click on the black color, I am presented with a selection of colors, and if I pick one, the second attachment shows the result: the HTML color string is unchanged, and when I press "OK", the text color is unchanged. I need to manually insert the HTML color code (i.e.: "#FF00FF") to get the changed color.

Is it possible to fix it?

Thank you and keep up the good work!

Dear all,

I've used Thunderbird for many years (decades, most likely). I've never had this issue until recently, when I've had an increasing number of correspondees reporting that my emails to them are truncated.

This is NOT the old "feature" of truncating a signature (https://superuser.com/questions/222345/mozilla-thunderbird-truncates-my-message-on-reply-forward)

Instead, it seems to do it for receipients at specific formatting elements. See attached for an example ("truncated.png").

Curiously, the copy in my Sent folder is NOT truncated ("original.png").

Unfortunately this is now happening sufficiently frequently to be causing me a huge amount of friction in my hour-to-hour work, and I'm beginning to lose faith in the safety of sending emails.

I just upgraded to 78.5.1 from 78.5 to no avail.

Does anyone have any insights into this new issue...?

thanks!

First, thanks for eliminating your direct customer support leaving issues to the community aka "blind leading the blind"!

Your browser, which requires daily updates for some unknown reason , has disabled Java Script which means I can not access photos on websites such as Bring A Trailer which also has adopted its' f... you attitude by eliminating their support.

If you have an accurate fix for my version of Firefox (lord knows how to find it), please provide in straight forward English that those over 30 can understand.

Yesterday I opened up by email and noticed the last 2 and a half years of emails disappeared from my computer. I am a bit a hoarder with my emails and save them for reference. I use road runner for my server. When I looked on the server the old emails were still there. However, the recent emails the ones I received yesterday 12/1 and today 12/2 were no longer on the server. I checked my settings and I have set to not delete from server. So I have 2 issues 1. Emails disappeared from my local computer storage. 2. Thunderbird appears to be deleting emails from roadrunner server.

Good morning. I have no problem with Firefox on my desktop accurately showing my location. If I pop onto a store site it automatically shows the right zip code. However I am NY and whenever I use my phone to access somewhere that requires location it defaults to usually somewhere in New Jersey. My Android on Firefox is up to date, my phone (Samsung Galaxy A10E) says all it's software is up to date and I am allowing access to location for Firefox correctly, I believe. But it is frustrating that every time I am out I have to manually change the zip and sometimes go through the step of making a store 'my store' just to get an idea of inventory in my area. Thanks for any help you can provide in advance.

Hello,

I would like change the value of the time limite. Since 10 days I can't download my Gmail message from Thunderbird (78.5.1 (32 bits)).

Thanks. Sylvain Beaujouan

After update to v78.5.1 all mailboxes except one work correctly.

One will not accept incoming messages and it will send but will not save outgoing message to the Sent folder.

In Folder Properties the Inbox folder has 463 messages but size on disk is zero and the quota says" not available as folder is not open". Similar info for sent folder.

The inbox shows all messages up to the Update and same for the Sent folder.

How can I make it open these folders.

Hi,

We are using Windows 7 with roaming profiles. The AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles directory keep swelling until it is takes a really long time to log in or log out.

The Thunderbird profiles were deleted and new local profiles were created in the AppData/Local/Thunderbird directory. However it has recently been discovered that these have somehow made their way back into the Roaming profile.

The installation of Thunderbird is done by Wpkg. It runs a script on setup which sets Thunderbird to not download messages onto the local and not to download large attachments. But this behaviour no longer works in recent versions. Also it is overwritten by new releases of Thunderbird. The script originally tried to suppress Thunderbird from updating but this behaviour has also ceased to function.

every incoming message I receive has those crazy A's with a ^ over it, and other misc characters in it. "CRYING" here... since I am mostly likely OCD I'm completley annoyed beyond belief to just read past all the crap and move on so every with all incoming messages I have to click view> text encoding>unicode to get rid of them because trying other suggestions I've found online DOESN'T HOLD permanently. I've been doing this now for months, what's the freak'in solution?? what about an "uninstall" and re-install?"

oh, and I see others saying the same thing. It's not my choice to use Mozilla, it's at work. We are small with no tech support and no one else knows the answer either. I seem to be the only one in my office with the problem. HELP please, I'm really struggling here!!!

Hi to all, All of a sudden I'm having trouble sending ANY emails at all from Thunderbird. It keeps asking me to attach a file when I hit the "Send Button" (see "Uploaded Images"). Even when I attach a file it still won't send (same error message). Same problems when saving the email as a Draft. (see "Uploaded images").

I updated to Thunderbird 78.5.0 (32-bit) installed on 27th November 2020 This problem has just started to manifest itself this morning.

Please see below and "Uploaded images" for the error messages.

Any help would be great.

Many thanks lou16

Send Message Error Sending of the message failed. There was an error attaching . Please check that you have access to the file.

Save Message Error Error Message: Unable to save your message as a draft. There was an error attaching . Please check that you have access to the file.

Thunderbird is displaying some emails incorrectly. In some cases I see a screenful of HTML code and not the message. A message list will show empty headers. In other cases, I get the wrong content to a message.

This happens on three different PC's - two Macs and one Windows PC. The Macs are running TB 68 and the PC is on 78. I have deleted the profile and created a new one on each system and the problem still persists.

Airmail on the Mac and webmail do not have any problems with the same messages.
