I-Thunderbird Community Forum

I'm reading the question Thread's broken sorting makes it completely unusable and I have to agree that order of messages within thread is not the best one - ascending. For example, I am subscribed to a forum messages and I'm getting all the notifications for a topic to a thread. Currently I have like 85 messages in a thread and to see the newest one I have to scroll all the way down each time - scrolling 85 messages is a lot and it is getting worse because the number of messages keeps growing. After I've seen the newest message, I have to scroll all the way up to close the thread. (or am I missing something - perhaps some shortcuts?)

But I guess for some such ordering is obviously fine. Hence, I guess, an option how to sort threads might come handy. Perhaps even having a default sort order and an override per thread?

PS. funnily enough, I'll have the same issue with notifications for this question :)

About 140.8 ESR. Use the internal spam filter or externals like Bogofilter or SpamAssasain? 2nd: RSS option (Blogs and Feeds) every so often downloads duplicate feeds - how to remove duplicates?? Last: Earlier versions Thunderbird can import Outlook Templates - anyone knows how??? Example: I want to send my mom a Mother's Day email with a nice background but the background does not have to be animated - how would I go about that? I have plenty of email templates from Outlook 95/XP - just not sure how to import and use.

Scary behavior of 'Local Folders': I'm moving an IMAP account from one server to an other. I copy all emails from old server IMAP account to a place described as "Local Folders". I then delete the account connected to the old server. WTF: the the local folders to which I copied the messages are now GONE. My plan was to recreate the account to the new server, then copy messages from LocalFolders to IMAP. But the LocalFolders got deleted along with the IMAP account. This I was doing in a separate profile from my own, as it's for a friend I'm helping with a hosting move.

In my own profile: For more than a decade, I have been maintaining the size of my mailboxes, by moving older messages to LocalFolders. As it happens, for these, I did indeed direct the folder to a separate drive, which also gets backed up offsite. My concern is that 'Local Folders' are portrayed as being INDEPENDENT of IMAP accounts. This is VERY POOR design, to allow a user to delete data they thought was safely stored locally while they recreate a moved or misbehaving account. I have dozens of Local Folders. Five years ago, I abandoned an entire domain name and it's email accounts. I know I still have those emails in my local folders despite having deleted the IMAP accounts from my profile. I fear that the current version, by default, might not be so respectful of my data. Can someone please explain? Where are the links that TIE an IMAP account to Local Folders, and how do I sever that link?

In my case, the source account still exists. I can repeat my steps, but for some other unfortunate users, this may not be the case.

I am really in a panic: Using ubuntu 22.04 and Thunderbird 140.7.1.esr For my main account I keep some 40 sub-folders and sub-sub-folders. All but the most recent mails in my sub folders are gone, something like 4 years of email. I asked chatGPT for help and found inside the /mail folder that most of the files with the names of my sub folders with no extension have 0 kb. I don't use IMAPS because I wanted my mails on my computer so I use only POP. :-( The interesting thing is that this only happend to my main account. I have 6 more accounts in Thunderbird and they seem to be fine, at least for now. Thank you for any help. Kind regards Frank

Since a few days, there seems to be an italicized copy of each folder in my mailbox. I tried multiple times to delete them, but, although they seem deleted, they appear again when I start up Thunderbird. I already contacted the hosting service, but they replied that this is an issue of Thunderbird.

I am having an issue sending emails from one of my email accounts. I keep getting an error when logging in.

The account email address is xxx.ca@hotmail.com. Is the .ca causing the issue? I can't seem to change the name in Outlook Exchange.

It seems like forever that I have been waiting for access to Thundermail, which I originally thought was going to be opened more broadly in January.

I have signed up for the waiting list (I think multiple times) but have not received any updates on progress. Ever.

My own email accounts are in flux, having mostly moved off of Gmail (after Google discontinued pop3 support) and Outlook (after Windows updates trashed my computer and corrupted my mail files) and tried mailbox.org, zoho, and protonmail without being completely happy with any of them. So I have been using Thunderbird but anxiously awaiting Thundermail which I was hoping would give me a stable cloud platform reachable by all of my devices.

I am happy to be an early adopter and paid user and deal with the growing pains. Is there any idea when people will be allowed to sign up?

Hi

Just checking when ThunderMail and Pro will be available? I'm in need of email services for my small business and just don't want to subscribe to Google. I love Thunderbird, glad it survived so many transformations over decades and would like my subscription contribute to further development.

Can you, please provide me with at least estimated timeline?

Thank you S

I am running Linux Mint and Thunderbird 140.9.0esr (64-bit). When I try to setup my Comcast email account I get errors and the program basically stops. For example "can't access property "cleanup", this [#configVerifier] is undefined". When I allow Thunderbird to do the initial search and follow its recommendation I get this error: Error creating account Incoming server already exists

I have Tbird running on two other computers THAT HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF. I noted that if I tried setting up Tbird on my newest Mint installation, i.e., Tbird running on my Windows machine, it would also fail to make the account.

I am at a loss as to what is going on. Any ideas???

One of my local folders of email disappeared: it is no longer displayed under Local Folders. A few days ago while using my mouse to move a message into one of the local folders, something happened, a peculiar message briefly displayed. At the time I did <Ctrl>-Z to undo whatever happened, but I didn't see any changes. That must be when the folder disappeared, but I'm not sure.

My other folders are still in place. I can't find the missing folder inside any of the other folders (junk, deleted, archive, etc.). Yet when I search for email in one of the missing folders, the messages are found. When I go into Troubleshooting Information, there is no Profile Directory listed, and when I click on the Open Directory button, nothing happens. (I've gone through the process of transferring Thunderbird accounts to new computers in the past.) I'm using Pop!_OS 22.04 Linux and Thunderbird 140.10.0esr. I backup my laptop using Back In Time. Any idea how can I fix this?

i can't seem to copy and paste so, here goes: what i see that i send Our Blended Rates: ≤ 100,000 5.14% 100,000 to 1,000,000 4.64%

Now when i send it---it looks like this

≤ to 100,0000 5.14% 100,000 to 1,000,000 4.64%

No longer aligned. Thank you

I have lost my SEND button. I have read several previous responses to this question, but following the solutions offered does not get the purported result. I don't get a Menu Bar after Toolbars. At age 96 I'm too old for this malarkey. Call me on my cell phone if you wish. [edited phone# from community support forum] FWN

I have an external drive that for compatibility reasons is formatted as NTFS. All other applications don't have compatibility issues, but having the Thunderbird profile folder be stored on the NTFS breaks multiple things, saved passwords get reprompted every time, adding a new account does not make the account show up etc.

How fix?

In my Thunderbird I have some folders with names printed italic starting with "INBOX". The folders are empty, so it's easy to delete them. After deleting I don't see the folders anymore. But after shutting down Thunderbird and starting Thunderbird again, the folders are back... How do I delete the folders to not see them anymore?

Best regards, Marianne

Is Thunderbird not compatible with Earthlink email? I can't seem to get my account added. All of the information is directly from my earthlink account set up information but I just get messages saying the configuration is wrong or password etc. I have checked and rechecked, reset the password multiple times so it is definitely the right password yet it fails to connect. if it simply can't be added I get it and will move on but I have no issue setting it up to other accounts so I just want to be sure I am doing it right and that it is in fact compatible. thanks for any help.
