I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

duplicate of /questions/1445549 thread.

Buonasera, stamattina non funzionando le mail in arrivo in Thundebird, ho riparato la cartella a seguito di un messaggio arrivato dal vostro portale dove mi diceva: spazio archiviazione terminato. Effettuata la procedura i messaggi in entrata hanno iniziato a funzionare regolarmente ma mi sono accorto che tutte le mail nella cartella posta in arrivo erano prive di testo. Cosa può esser successo e se è possibile ripristinare, grazie mille per un vostra risposta. Vi lascio in allegato un'immagine come campione. Cordiali saluti, Gianfranco

I back-up my Thunderbird profile folder every week.

I noticed that this week it was less than 50% of the size it was last week.

Upon inspection this appeared to be due to the IMAP folders being much smaller this week. I had to wait for some of the email attachments, which I thought were stored locally, to download.

After a while and after opening as many of these IMAP folders as I could, I checked the size of my profile folder again and it's now about 75% of the size it was last week.

I'm a bit unsettled as the reason I use a desktop-based email client is to act as a temporary local backup for my webmail (IMAP) including email attachments until I get the time to sort through them... but it seems that many of the attachments have disappeared in the last few days (well, I can see them but if I want to open them I have to wait for them to download).

I'm also a little concerned since my profile folder has shrunk to below 50% of what it was and then, in the last few hours has grown to 75% of what it was...

Thunderbird did update itself in the last few days so I wonder whether this changed things?

Things I've tried:

1) Opening & closing thunderbird a few times.

2) Rebooting whole desktop PC several times.

3) Checking Thunderbird's 'Synchronisation & Storage' settings (which seem to be as they should be if I want everything to be downloaded & stored locally)...

I'm thinking of removing and then re-adding my webmail account to Thunderbird to see whether that will rest things a bit

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Hello. I have transferred all my thunderbird emails to the new laptop I purchased for when we go away.. I am using my desktop daily and the lap top maybe once a month.. How can I set the lap top to stop all my emails while I am at home using my desk top. At the moment all my emails are downloading to both desktop and laptop and each week I have to open the lap top and delete all the emails that are there but I have already read and deleted on my desk top .. Hope you can help me set the lap top not to receive emails unless I turn the setting on when I go away.. Thanks Noel

Until recently, my AOL, Netscape and Yahoo accounts in TB all displayed all emails in my inbox, some 40,000+ for each account. Then suddenly, first my AOL account, then the Netscape account and now the Yahoo accounts are all limited to 10,000 emails in the inbox on TB. They all still reside on the web based programs, AOL, Netscape (AOL), and Yahoo. Years of emails just vanished. I tried deleting and re loading my AOL account hoping to repopulate it with the web based emails in the inbox but it came back with the most recent 10,000. I used the inbox like a search engine for subjects, attachments and correspondents in the past and that is all but impossible on the web based programs. Is there any way to return to the all inclusive storage of emails, especially to repopulate from the web based programs?

I have a profile containing three email accounts. It's huuuuge, but I was able to transfer it over to a second computer last year. I'd now like to update specific mailboxes on that second computer but don't want to have to recopy the profile.

Is there a way to update/backup/copy a specific mailbox for transfer to a second computer without having to use the profile?

Also, I'd like to be able to backup one of the three email accounts specifically. Is there a way to do this without using the profile? Thank you for any help.

I just noticed TB now has 5 address books & this is what I want to do: My email addresses are all mixed up so:

1] I would like down load all address books to 1 CSV file to sort & eliminate any email addresses that are NOT MY PERSONAL ADDRESSES.

2] Then I want to import MY PERSONAL ADDRESSES back to TB to 1 PERSONAL ADDRESS book, While eliminating [DELETING] all other PHONE BOOKS as I don't need them. I will do my own adding of emails myself, it's that simple.

Running 91.9.1, W10. At about noon today I stopped receiving all emails from multiple providers. I have done no updates. Selecting any account results in the looping timer. The mail is available at gmail and aol as well as on my iphone. I've restarted Thunderbird to no avail. All network settings look good. I am running windows defender. As stated I have changed nothing on the PC.

I don't know the correct terminology to describe my question. Extensive searching with various wording in several places gives answers to other questions. I have the same Thunderbird Mail account on two Linux computers. I can read and write messages from different email accounts on both devices and other mail clients with no problem. Changes made in one place are reflected everywhere else I have the same account. What I want to know is if I can have a new account added to Tbird on one computer automatically added to the other one. When I upgraded the OS on my desktop computer and installed Thunderbird, and signed in with my profile details, the left pane was empty. In order to start using it, I had to manually add each email account as if for the first time. I had thought that the information in the Tbird app on my laptop (same profile) would sync with the other computer, but it seems that's not what synchronize means. I've added a Blogs and Feeds folder to each of the computers, but when I add a new RSS Feed, it's only found on the computer I was using when I added it. Searching seems to suggest there is a way to do this with some complicated third-party mediation, but I use Thunderbird because it's simple to open any message right at my fingertips. Isn't there some way I can copy everything in my Thunderbird account from one computer to the other with just a few clicks?

I'm new to PC's. I have very basic knowledge of how to use an i-pad. A month ago I got myself a new MacBook. I installed Thunderbird, no problems. My old mail showed up, new mail came in. I installed GNupg.

Following FSF's excellent tutorial I set up Thunderbird with encryption, all good. Now I'm at the point where I 'should try it out' by sending 'Edward' my public key. This worked as I immediately got an encrypted e-mail from 'Edward' in my Apple inbox. However, on Thunderbird I was left hanging with a constantly spinning disc which I presumed meant Thunderbird was trying to retrieve said e-mail. This did not resolve.

After clicking here and there on Thunderbird's interface, I ended up at the account set up screen being prompted for my e-mail address and password. Three weeks had passed and I couldn't remember my password, nor find a note of it. I only have access to account set up and homepage. On homepage I looked through the 'hamburger' menu but I can't find anything that helps. So, I'm locked out of Thunderbird mail.

Any help would be appreciated on both how to resolve the password issue, and what might have gone wrong in retrieving 'Edwards' mail.

Many thanks, Darren.

I made a huge mistake, I was trying to make Thunderbird view larger, now it's much to large to be functional or to make changes or go back to original settings. Here's what happened.

I went into "advanced settings" and changed layout.css.dev.Pixels.Per.Px the size is to large and now I can not view or make changes to Thunderbird. I tried deleting Thunderbird and re-installing it but no luck, the re-install has same large scale issue.

some messages are displaying as garbled test, I tried all the different html settings in the body display no differences in any of the displays. Messages on wedsite are correct. No updates that I am aware off have occurred. I have rebooted computer and Thunderbird to no effect

My Thunderbird email program no longer accepts my password for my Gmail account. It's the same password I use to log on to Firefox and I can open my Gmail from there so I know it's the right one. I've tried deleting the password from the save passwords window and I've made sure that I've updated to the latest Thunderbird version and I've restarted my computer after all of the previous things. I'm out of ideas. Help?

I am all of a sudden not receiving emails from group lists I previously have been a part of and my email is in the distribution list. This just started to happen.

Any suggestions? Not very technical here...

I am setting up a newsletter which will go to my five hundred contacts every day. can I download mozilla thunderbird, and will it be acceptable to do so with that email using another platform email marketing platform? My list has given me permission (signed up) for this, there is no cold emails, but they are forwarded on for several generations, from one person to all their contacts, to theirs ,and on and on. Would this be permissible with thunderbird? I thank you for your attention to this matter.
