I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hey. I have countless issues with Thunderbird, but two I need to solve now:

1. TB doesn't respect setting called "Sync last x days of emails" and sync everything. That causes it to consume lot of resources and my PC is very slow and fan has to run full blast. 2. I have changed login info on my CalDAV calendar so I wanted to remove the old ones and add the new one. However the old one wasn't somehow properly removed from my Ubuntu online accounts and TB keeps ghosting me to enter login info of account that doesn't exist anymore.

Version: latest Platform: Ubuntu 22.04

Hello everyone, I encountered a specific problem when adding a second mail account to Thunderbird on Win10. Maybe someone has a solution for this: On a windows 10 machine I have one account setup in thunderbird on a IMAP server we will call mail.example.com with the account name acc1@example.com. Now I wanted to add a second mail account acc2@example.com using the same IMAP server but with different login credentials.

But thunderbird complains that the server already exists and doesn't let me create the 2nd account. Is it not possible to have multiple accounts on the same server using different login/password on Windows? I read somewhere on reddit that users under linux don't seem to have that problem.

Thanks

After update thunderbird sending errors in all accounts. Removng all data (profile and cache folders) and reconfigure not help. Use:

• Xubuntu 22.04
• snap install
• version 102.9.0 (64-bit)

Hello, I am a long time user of Thunderbird and appreciate all the work that is going on to update the software. My simple piece of feedback, purely for your information, is that connecting to the Thunderbird and collecting messages has now become very slow. In the past the process was almost instant, not so now. I am sure that you are aware of this but if not I hope this is useful to you. Keep up the great work. Thank you. Gerry Bird.

I have had a problem with duplicate emails over the past 2 weeks and today a new problem started. After trying yet another Repair of my Inbox, TB crashed. I requested a restart which it did. Once it had restarted, it promptly crashed again. It repeated this 5 or 6 times when I decided to uninstall TB and reinstall it. But it did not help. As soon as I started TB again it began to populate my Inbox with 10s of thousands of duplicate emails and then it crashed! I really need to read my email and I'm considering an alternate program. Can someone provide some guidance? Thanks!

I turned on my desktop Mac today after five weeks away. All the folders in my main email inbox on Thunderbird have disappeared and, when I try to send an email I get the following error message: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

I checked the setting with Thunderbird on my Macbook and there is not problem: all the folders are still there and the server settings are identical on both computers. In addition, I'm not getting any emails in that inbox on my desktop Mac, though on my Macbook they are all coming through fine..

Also, I have several other email inboxes on my Thunderbird and they are all working just fine on my desktop Mac. It's just that one email box on that one computer.

Any solutions, anyone`/

I have a Mac running Ventura 13.2.1 I use Thunderbird 102.9.0. When I try to retrieve mail, it takes over a minute. The bottom of the screen says "Host contacted Sending Login Information".

I am running no anti virus programs and have none on my computer

T'bird & Firfox, Win 11 OS. Prob: one weekly formatted newsletter has for over one month come in as an unformatted monster para. Comes in on two other Win OS computers formatted correctly; also correctly formatted on Apple OS. Did Come in on Gogle/Android OS. Have uninstal/reinst F'bd not fixed. What is possible issue? Thank you.

Apparently last Thunderbird or Windows 10 update added a second duplicate sent file folder.

How do I remove it?

I saved info as an rtf file with images pasted into it. Can not paste in or attach here.

I am using Thunderbird ver. 102.9.0. When i send an email, a copy naturally goes to my Sent folder. Lately, a duplicate also shows up in Trash. But the subject plus to whom sent are in bold type. I can delete these duplicates in the Trash folder.

I have looked at my account settings and nothing there appears to account for this. I would like to eliminate the creation of these duplicates. Any ideas?

Using TB 102.9.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10 and Proton Mail Bridge 3.0.20 I am no longer able to send emails. I keep getting the following "Send Message Error - Sending of the message failed. The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed. The configuration related to 127.0.0.1 must be corrected."

Thoughts/suggestions. Thanks.

Best regards, sb

Hello hi ya' doin',

Win10 64x, Thunderbird v102 32x, IMAP.

When I launch thunderbird it takes a long time for the password dialog box to open. Check mail, send mail, indexing, synchronize are sluggish and hang in the activity manager. I have to turn off thunderbird and turn it back on to try to get it to work, and even then if it looks like it's open and ready to go, "determining which messages to index" never goes away in the activity manager. This all started when I updated to v102.

So I uninstalled/reinstalled. 1. Backup profile folder. 2. Uninstall via Settings > apps > uninstall thunderbird. 3. Restart. 4. Reinstall thunderbird 102, check for updates. 5. ESET exclusions. I notice on the IMAP computers, Mozilla Thunderbird Folder is in C: Program Files and Mozilla Maintenance Folder is in C: Program Files(x86). On the POP computer both those folders are in (x86). (I don't understand why one installation is one way and the other installation is the another way. It doesn't seem to me like POP vs IMAP have anything to do how the installer installs. But I'm just a layman.) 6. Restart 7. Launch thunderbird and it opened up with all the IMAP and Local folders. I didn't even need the backed up profiles folder.

It was at least 100% better but still never turned off the "determining which messages to index" thermometer in activity manager. That thermometer is always there stuck at full. That was day before yesterday. Now today when I launch thunderbird it hangs when checking mail and gets stuck trying to bring current the sends/receives/moves/deletes I've done on the iphone. It reaches a point and gets stuck. I turn thunderbird off and back on and it reaches another point and gets stuck. Maybe I should re install again but this time ShiftRightClick the installer and Run as Administrator?

After updating my 2017 iMac from OS Catalina to Ventura (13.2), TB 102.8.0 is taking more than a minute to open. Once open it seems fine, so far, but that startup time is way longer than it used to be. I used Troubleshoot mode to 1) send myself a troubleshoot report via email and 2) clear the starting cache, but that didn't fix the long start-up time. My email accounts are with my website's hosting company, but hosting says things are fine on their end. Please advise on what can be done in TB to address this, thanks.

Running Tbird 102.8.0 (64bit) on Linux Mint 21.1 Since the previous Tbird update, more Sent folders are appearing. I am running unified folders and when I start Tbird in troubleshooting mode the Sent folders don't appear. I have my unified Sent folder, then a second folder appeared under that one labeled Sent - Local Folders. Then a second Sent Local Folders appeared with a Sent folder inside it, Today a third Sent Local Folders has appeared. I now have 4 Sent folders under my main Sent folder! I have 7 pop3 email accounts and when I send an email from any of them, the sent emails show up in the first Sent - Local Folders folder. When I generate the troubleshooting file there are 8 accounts listed as account 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Account 2 shows as (none) Local Folders with security as 0. The other 7 show the correct pop3 names and ports. I have added 2 screen shots, the one without the extra folders is the troubleshooting run. When I right click on the extra folders, there is no delete option. No crash reports and no error messages in the troubleshooting file. I have tried turning unified folders on & off several times.

Since the 2/8 upgrade of Thunderbird the program repeatedly is becoming unresponsive. It can take a long time after starting the program before anything can be done. I have long delays and repeated "Thunderbird is not responding" messages when doing things as simple as clicking on a tab. It eventually responds if I don't force quit.

I've been using Thunderbird on Linux for years and have not had this problem before. The unresponsive issue is not a problem with any other program including Firefox.

I have zero add-ons loaded. The problem continues when I select "Work Offline".

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, after I tried sending a message with a zip attachment to someone, I now keep getting this error message every time I open TB or every time I send a new message. There is nothing in my outboxes and I can't even find the original message with the zip attachment anymore. I have tried removing the account I sent that message from but I keep getting the same error message. I also used Send Later, but removing that also didn't solve the issue. Do you have nay pointers?

Thunderbird (now 102.9.0) regularly freezes but doesn't crash for me on Windows 10 and 11. Substantially the same behavior occurs whether I'm in troubleshooting mode or have addons enabled.

In Thunderbird, I have 3 mail accounts, and all 3 are IMAP accounts. From the status bar notifications, it seems a large part of Thunderbird's slowness arises because opening a new IMAP folder causes Thunderbird to authenticate to the mail service and check for new messages in that folder.

I already have Thunderbird downloading all of the mail in the IMAP folders subscribed to in each account. So, is there a way to prevent the "recheck for new messages in a folder when opening that folder" behavior and, e.g., only check for new messages on the schedule in each account's settings, by doing "Get Messages," etc.?

Thunderbird is about as responsive as I would expect when I'm working in offline mode. So, I suppose I could open Thunderbird, allow it to sync up to the IMAP accounts, then go offline to work on the messages that came in, then go back online to sync what I've done to the server. But I suppose I'm hoping to avoid that online state toggling if there's a way of doing so.

Thank you so much for your thoughts!
