I'm running Thunderbird 60.6.1, configured for 4 accounts on the following services: - msn.com - hotmail.com - comcast.net - gmail.com Servers for all accounts are configured as IMAP.
Thunderbird is not retrieving new email automatically at startup, even though "Check for new messages at startup" is ticked for all accounts. I do see - "Looking for folder...", "Opening folder..." etc. for all accounts on the status bar, but nothing is downloaded. When I then click "Get All New Messages", email for all accounts is immediately retrieved.
The "Activity Manager" log is completely blank.
I tried disabling all add-ons and restarting, same problem. For the sake of completeness, those are:
- CardBook by Philippe V: Alternative to built-in address book, which supports the vCard standard. Thunderbird does not, and I need the ability to import contact lists in that format.
- Check and Send by H.Ogi: I'm only using the feature of this add-on that confirms that I'm indeed ready to send when composing new email.
Here's one weird thing: When I start Thunderbird in safe mode, all new messages are immediately retrieved, whether I disable all add-ons are or not.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any advice!

I have a filter set up to reroute incoming email from my inbox to another folder based on the from address or the subject contains a certain string. This works fine. However the email in the target folder is always marked as read, even though it hasn't been read.
The Filter: Getting new mail is checked (filter before Junk) Match any of the following From contains [a string] Subject contains a [a string] From contains [a string] Perform these actions: Move message to [target folder] Mark as unread Forward message to [another email address]
Recap - filter works redirecting the email to the target folder and forwarding a copy. email in target folder is always marked read. This happens with "Mark as unread" in the filter and without it in the filter.
Filter log shows message moved to target folder, email forwarded to [another email address], and message marked as unread.
This IMAP email on a Zimbra server. Thunderbird is v68.1.0 (32 bit). OS is Win 10 Pro x64 Build 17134

This message appears upon trying to send just one message. Other messages go out fine. The number of recipients is not any greater than for any other message I've sent over the years, and there isn't even an attachment involved. I've checked the list of recipients to ensure that the email nomenclature is correct, and it is. I have saved this message and continue to have no problem with anything else I'm sending. Finally, it says, "Please check the message and try again." I have no idea what I'm supposed to be looking for when I "check the message." It is just text, like any other simple message, with no hidden codes or anything else, assuming I could even insert hidden codes. In many years of using Thunderbird this has never happened before. Maybe it's something simple, like chewing gum and walking backwards at the same time. What can you tell me?

I received teh message that Thunderbird needs to be restarted due to the upgrade to 68.1.0. After I restarted my Win10 client Thunderbird does not start any more. Everytime I try to start it the following message comes up:
"Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Thunderbird. Do you want to reboot now?"
I have done this and still the message comes up.
I tried ti re-install Thunderbird version 68.1.0 as well as 60.6.1 but the the message from above appears always.
Please you anybody give me some support?
Thank you very much!
Messages deleted in Thunderbird don't get deleted on the server

Until now on my old computer I had this option checked in Thunderbird: "Message deleted locally will be moved to a trash folder on the server... and I was able to delete messages on the server this way by deleting the messages in Thunderbird. But right now on my new computer and my newly installed Thunderbird no such option is available anymore. How can I set up Thunderbird so that the messages deleted there are also immediately deleted/or moved to Trush folder on the server. I would really appreaciate the feedback.

Telus, my ISP in Alberta, Canada has had an ongoing mail server outage. As of today, it's one month, and although "most people are back up and running", I appear to be one of the few that aren't. My problem is that when I try to connect to Telus's IMAP server, Thunderbird gives me an error message, as follows: "The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeeed. The mail server for account [my account name] responded: EXPUNGE failed." My knowledge is somewhat limited, but I take that to mean that in attempting to sync up my local copy of Inbox with the one on the server, an attempt to delete an email failed.
At first, I assumed this was a problem at Telus's end, but started to think otherwise when I realized that I can access the account on my iPhone.
In Thunderbird, I have tried: > deleting and re-creating the account > Changing the way Thiunderbird deals with deleted emails > Setting up a brand new Thunderbird profile and adding the single account to it. The EXPUNGE error message still continues to be displayed. In desperation(!), I set up the account in Outlook, and it, like my phone, works without protest. (However, I couldn't find any settings that mirror Thunderbird's "When I delete a message" options.)
I'm now very concerned that my ISP will tell me that my problem is in Thunderbird and therefore nothing to do with them.
Has anyone experienced this persistent "EXPUNGE failure"? Can anyone comment on why it might still be my ISP's problem and not Thunderbird's? All help greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have a strange problem with Thunderbird.
In my Inbox I have a sub-folder that is intact but below that were 5 sub-folders which have all 'disappeared'. The .sbd folders and the .msf files are still in my Profile but the folders and emails don't show in Thunderbird. I've deleted global-messages-db.sqlite and re-launched Thunderbird but that doesn't work.
I'm using the latest Thunderbird and Windows 7.
As this is my work email I'm desperate to get access to those emails again!
I've run out of ideas. Any help much appreciated.

e-mail messages are sorted by date, descending.
Details:
Take first image: The first message with subject "Re: [ic-7610] wsjt-x 2.1.0 FT8..." is the first reply in the thread and should be located after the father message, five lines below (see date).
Take second image: The first message with subject "Re: [ic-7610] GPS 10 MHz...] is one of the last replies in the thread and should be located after many messages below the father (see date). The message immediatly above the blue line is not correctly indented with respect to the thread's father and seems to belong to another non-existent thread.
This problem appeared after a Thunderbird update, but I don't remember how many months ago; however I have been observing this boring problem for a long time. Deactivating and activating threaded messages again doesn't resolve the problem; using "\" and "*" doesn't resolve the problem. It's interesting to notice that this problem manifests itself only in standard e-mails; news reader is not affected and threading is always correct.

(Thunderbird 60.7.0; Fedora-29, last updated 2 days ago)) A few almost-certainly-malicious messages are somehow sneaking around my filters. The text source of one such message can be viewed for a few days here: "https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/zslZwdYUkWtkOH6nwX09MQ". A screen capture of the filter that should have caught and deleted it is in the attachment. How did this message sneak past the filter? What if anything should I change in the filter? Is there anything else I should do before submitting a bug?

After an upgrade, a browser is not launched for https links. http links do work.
Per documentation, I have set
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https = true
When a link is clicked, a menu should open to allow selection of a browser, but it does not. When an https link is clicked, nothing happens.
According to documentation, setting network.protocol-handler.app.https directly no longer works. I tried setting it anyway, but as expected it has no effect.
FYI I am running Thunderbird 60.80.0 on Debian 10 (Buster).
Reinstalling thunderbird had no effect. Of course I did not delete my profile.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
