I have seen numerous posts on this forum involving the "Leave Messages on Server" option in the server portion of the Account settings. Many of these posts include responders stating that this option does not apply to POP servers.

If this is correct, why does Thunderbird even include this setting for an account that is explicitly designated as a POP server/account? This is an invitation to confusion and misunderstanding; I have been a victim of this. It seems to me to be a no-brainer to change the code to remove this option from these POP accounts.

I sent an email with multiple BCCs and no CCs or TOs, I put myself as one of the BCCs.

I did not receive it and I do not think anybody else did as well since I asked a few people.

The email is in the sent folder. I tried forwarding the email from my sent folder to myself as CC, and that worked. I also tried fowarding as BCC, and that worked.

So what is going on? Is BCC working? How can I know for certain? Do I need to foward the email as BCCs to all my BCCs to get this to work?

Thanks for your help.

I just migrated my email from cox to yahoo servers. The cox.net domain is retained.

I had never seen a "bulk" folder with my other domains and was having problems with emails being sent there.

I deleted the bulk folder and it moved to trash but cannot actually be deleted. I also re created a bulk folder. see pic.

Now emails are still going to the bulk folder that is in trash.

Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks

I am running Supernova version 115.5.2 and have a strange situation (maybe it's normal) when opening it.

If I have received any emails for any account in a previous session, then when I open a new session, the folders for these accounts open expanded and other accounts that did not receive any emails, remain collapsed.

I know there are others who have various issues regarding all folders expanded or collapsed but in Thunderbird before Supernova, I always collapsed all my folders and opened a new session with everything collapsed.

So can anyone tell me how to set-up Supernova so that when I collapse all my folders at the end of a session, a new session will open with all the folders still collapsed?

Thanks.

Hello, since upgrading to 115 Thunderbird has disabled all add-ons, and does not have an option to reenable them. This was done to several extensions which are not marked as incompatible including "NestedQuote Remover" and "Unmangle Outlook Safelinks". Removing and uninstalling them solves nothing. Indeed, the button to install from the market does not work. I had to save to and then install from a local file to test this.

I am not in trouble-shooting mode, but I have found that "Load Temporary Add-on" in debugging works for the current session.

(I tried searching Google and this forum to no avail.... only turning up irrelevant thread about older versions, Firefox etc.)

Clicking "reply" replies to the recipient (me) if the sender (me) is also in Thunderbird and the recipient was aliased

Scenario: I have two E-Mails configured in thunderbird. For simplicity, let's assume they are: `alice@gmail.com` and `bob@cock.li` .

I have configured both via SMTP, and they are *totally different* SMTP servers (Gmail vs. cock.li)

If I compose a message from "alice@gmail.com" to "bob@cock.li", then when I reply from Bob's inbox in Thunderbird, everything is OK.

However, if I compose a message from "alice@gmail.com" to "bob.extra@cock.li", using the `.` alias feature of cock.li, then although Bob gets the message in his inbox, clicking "Reply" will actually set "From" as "alice@gmail.com" and "To" as "bob.extra@cock.li" !

To be very clear: this happens when clicking reply in Bob's inbox in Thunderbird.

I think this is a Thunderbird issue because:

  • It happens even if I compose the E-Mail from Alice's webmail (i.e. Browser) (Note: Alice still exists in Thunderbird)
  • It DOES NOT happen if Alice DOES NOT exist in Thunderbird
  • It DOES NOT happen if I try and reply as Bob via cock.li's webmail (i.e. Browser)

My guess is somehow when Thunderbird sees both Alice and Bob as valid accounts in Thunderbird, but the recipient was an aliased version of Bob, it somehow gets confused.

Here are example received headers for an actual demo I tried. (poiasd@saxrag.com is main E-Mail, abuse@saxrag.com is an alias. poiasdpoiasd@cock.li is the sender)

Some are empty other contain information I am looking for. I want to print on the sub folder names along with the number of entries so that so that I can copy/consolidate the non empty sub folder back to their original location. The sub folder list is very long. I work better with hard copy as opposed to flipping screens. Any time I tried to print the sub folder list, it printed all of the contents.

Sadly I had to thoroughly uninstall Thunderbird, reinstall and create new mailboxes due to some strange reason. In the past, the inbox would show the email list and, if clicked, a message would show up below a separator line. Now only the list shows up and I have to double click to read it which opens a new window. What a pain!

And yes, I know I can view the message page using F8 but it is on the right side and shorten the other windows.

Is there a way to go back to the view option I had in previously?

So running thunderbird 115.10.1 (64-bit) and more and more issues:

  • the app keeps getting non-responsive for long period of time, to fix this I have to force quit the app.

Seems to be happening more and more trying to figure out how it can return back to it's rockstar state when it was <99 version.

I was subscribed to a large distribution list, but then unsubscribed. But I didn't unsubscribe. So I subscribed again, but was soon unsubscribed again! My email address and password may have been hacked. So I logged into my Comcast ISP and changed my email password. Then I started Thunderbird, and as expected, it asked for my password, and I gave it. My email came up. I tried sending an email and it asked for a sending password. I ignored it, but after a long delay, it refused to send the message. So I tried again, this time giving it my new email password. The sending then worked. I assumed all was now OK.

But, as a final test, I exited Thunderbird, and then restarted. It again came up OK with my emails shown. Then I again tried sending a test message to myself. But it again asked for my sending password! Thinking this might be a scam, I put in a password of "bullshit". Then I received the following popup message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Polite people say HELO first. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

What!!! It sure seems like someone (at Thunderbird?) is in the loop grabbing my password before encoding it for storage. A similar thing happened in the past, where I think my account was hacked. So, was this a hacking attempt, and if so, was it from Thunderbird software or my Comcast ISP?

I am trying to do a mass mailing in Thunderbird to about 2015 libraries, with another one to come. I followed all the instructions carefully and generated all the messages and they went into my outbox, with a "send later" command. Then this morning I entered the command to empty the outbox. I immediately began getting an error message that I could only send 50 messages an hour. Feeling like the sorcerer's apprentice, I closed thunderbird, whcih stopped the bleeding. Now I have 1350 messages in the outbox which thunderbird did not try to send.

Fixing up this mess is going to be complicated, particularly with respect to the messages it did try and fail to send (about 750 of them.) But I could make some real progress if I could figure out how to send 50 of the unset messages at a time from the outbox. I have the first 50 out of the 1350 selected right now, but I can't figure out how to get them sent. HELP! Thanks in advance.
