Hi, I want to copy my Thunderbird profile in windows 10 from old computer to a new one, whan I go in Roamng>Thinderbird>Profiles> it shows total size 32 GB. I tried deleting in the Thunderbird application some emails but total size in prifeles reduced only by 1 Gb, I gues that some very old emails even before 2012 are stored somwhare in Profles but I can not locate. Whan I go to Inbox.sbd it shows 8,5 GB but whan I enter in the applicatin shows much less size?

Several weeks ago emails quit coming in. Then, a couple of weeks later, email receipts resumed. However, my address book is no longer available, except for about a half dozen addresses used very recently. I had probably around 100 email addresses gathered over the years. I now have no access to them. How can I get my address book back? Thank you, Konreid Etheredge

Hi all

I use the Thunderbird client on my Win 10 desktop for my Gmail emails. I also have the gmail mailbox on my iphone and ipad using the 'Mail' App (not the Gmail app)

If I receive mails into the Thunderbird mailbox on the Win 10 desktop, I often move them to the correct Private Folder. But, when I do this they stay in the inbox on my ipad like 'read messages'. It worked previously and I don't know what has changed. Any ideas?

Thank You.

I have several emails with the same subject line. I could copy and paste the contents into a Word doc, but is there a way of getting TB to print the content of these emails as a single document, without the headers and footers? thanks

Hello,

I habe been using Thunderbird for many years and I always considered it was a wonderfull software. But it seems that since Thunderbird revisions 128 replaced revisions 115 XXX, this software became less performant and less reliable than before: very (too) often it takes a big time just to open a received e-mail, it is longer and longer to send a new e-mail, even without attached file. Sometimes the software seems locked: nearly all commands are unavailable, in a "grey" state: "the program does not respond ..."

Somtimes, when you run Thunderbitd you see a huge disc activity, as if the software was re-indexing the databases after each launch.

Even if you re-install the software, from scratch, and you re-index all the files the behaviour does not improve.

Theses problems have begun since revision 115 XX was upgraded to 128. We have been told that Thunderbird sofware had been widely "redesigned" but as a result, right now, it is less good than before.

Looking on forums I see that I am not the only one to signal these problems ...

Can you give us some more informations about what is going on with Thunderbird ? It is going to be "stabilized" ? Does this last major evolution of Thunderbird is going to arrive to a more stable state ?

Thank you by advance.

Regards

I dont know how to handle this problem. On the t-online App Smartphone it is o.k. E-Mail Adress is nagzeckai@t-online.de

Please advise how I solve this technical issue although every time it occurs it gives an option to stop the prgram and says it will report the issue to microsoft. It keeps occuring and it has frozen 3 times today.

I use Thunderbird. Whenever I create a new folder in the email account I have set up in Quaker Meetings Network (QMN), url https://quaker.app, it is appears as a sub-folder of Inbox, but I want it to be a folder at the top level of the email account. I can do this with the other email accounts I administer with Thunderbird, in gmail.com and phonecoop.coop. Why can't I do this with a QMN email account? QMN say this is an issue with Thunderbird -- they are able to create "top level" folders on other email software such as Outlook

Last little while (2 to 3 weeks), when I am getting Calendar (and most other) notifications, they come up as a full size (same size as Thunderbird) screen, rather than a small dialogue box. (See attachment) This is REALLY annoying!! How can I fix this?? Thanks.

Добрый день! Во вкладке "Входящие" горит значок 34 входящих сообщения, хотя по факту их нет. Сегодня поступили еще письма, они отображаются. Но общая сумма входящих сообщений по-прежнему включает эти 34 фантомные сообщения. Вероятно, это какой-то баг, как их можно очистить?

I have been reading some old questions on TB forums 0n how to speed up TB. Being old posts can you tell me if these options are now currently advised to be shut off in 2024? Should I turn on or off the setting for "Enable Global Search and Indexer" Should I turn off "windows indexing for the profile folders"?. If so, not sure how to do that. Should I disable the use of the option to "allow windows to search your mail"- if so where is this setting? How to reduce the number of FILES in the TB profile or just ignore this mounting calculation each time I make changes or compress? Thank you.

Hi, I don't know what I did but suddenly I only have the chat screen (which I have never been in, screenshot attached) and can't get back to my normal Thunderbird window where I see all my emails. All functions in the drop-down menus don't work, I can't get into settings or anything. What do I need to do to get back to my emails?

Quick Filter is still extremely slow on the newest version of Thunderbird (128.1.1esr). I asked a question about this previously. It was reported as a bug (see links below) and it says in the report it was fixed, but the problem still seems to be there in the newest version. Any idea when this will be fixed, or if there is anything I can do about it?

There is a thread about it on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/1e6hryp/quick_filter_is_super_slow_in_128/

There was a bug reported, and it is listed as closed (solved). Here is the bug report thread: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1908761

Thanks for you help.

Hello Team, About a month ago Thunderbird stopped downloading new messages, on my desktop pc. I have a Cox email account, and about a year ago they switched to using Yahoo. It's been working fine until last month. When I open TB, the inbox count of unread messages keeps climbing, but it's not adding new emails. I think it's actually adding duplicates of already downloaded emails. Some of which it looks like it is adding several copies, like 3 or 4. Can you tell me where to start? Many thanks.
