Hi guys,

I have a bug noted in Thunderbird for OSX:

Thunderbird for OSX always send messages to Sent Folder, even if not checked to do so.

I use BCC to send copies of my emails to Inbox, but everytime I send some email a copy is placed in Sent Folder even if I already set to not put a copy there. It seams that uncheck the checkbox to don't do so have any effect.

My Thunderbird just upgraded me from 115 to 128.1.0esr. After the upgrade I can no longer send emails. I receive emails but when I try to send them, after pressing the send button, nothing happens - no popup telling me that Thunderbird is trying to send the email or anything else. If I close the send box, it saves the email to drafts. - I have not changed any of the outgoing server details and all was working fine with the previous version - 115.??? (don;t remember the service release but I think it could have been 9). Any help to get this resolved would be appreciated.

Thunderbird fails to opn properly and I get message "Unable to open folder mailbox ... because it is in use by another process. Please wait..." Waiting never ends. It is trying to load my default in box. If I try clicking on the Loading message £I get Thunderbird is not respondinng ,,..."

The Quick Filter is extremely slow on version 128.1.0esr (and also on 128.0.1). 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). When will this bug fix show up in the release version? Or how do I put in a patch? Thunderbird is almost useless for me with this problem. Here is the bug report thread: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1908761

Thanks for you help.

Asked this question before but never received a response.

When someone sends me an email from their gmail account, thunderbird dopes not download it from the server. I use gmx.com for my email. All other emails sent to me are downloaded by thunderbird but not ones sent from gmail accounts. It is not a problem with gmail because if I use the web access, the email is on the server but is not downloaded by thunderbird. I have checked the filters in thunderbird, there is no reference to gmail.

The odd thing is that I have a second email account, also on gmx and thuderbird does correctly download the emails sent from gmail accounts. Any idea how I can solve this problem?

Sometimes when I save an email in my inbox to a subfolder it doesn't appear in the subfolder but when I search for that email search finds it in that folder. Why doesn't it appear in the list of emails in that folder?

How do I revert back to a prior version of Thunderbird? The latest update has a great user interface but it has wrecked a few things for me. For some reason, some of the emails I put into folder (not in the inbox) now look almost like code. Also, I was using an ActiveSync addon to get an email address to work but now that is not working.

Hi, Why do I have to click twice in a row on a message in the trash that I want to delete? This is how I do it: The message is moved to the trash and should be deleted from there. I mark the message in the trash and then click once on Delete at the bottom right. A window appears asking if I really want to delete. I then click once on Delete and neither the window nor the message disappears. Only when I click on Delete a second time do the window and the message disappear from the trash. What could be the reason for this and how can I fix it? Thank you for a useful answer. I don't have much experience with IT and Thunderbird. Regards Manfred

Adding gmail address to Thunderbird. Brings up the screen with the correct gmail address. I press allow, but message in Thinderbird is telling me wrong credentials. Dit all the tips I found, still wrong credentials. Fighting this for weeks on and off. Can't find the source of the problem. I am a Thunderbird user for many years, contributed money because I was(?) a happy user.....now I am frustrated. Please help me out.

The latest update to Thunderbird did all sorts of damage, but the attached image is one. My emails now look like they're a jumbled mess of code. Is there a way to reset or refresh these so they actually show the email?

I have a user/colleague who suddenly missed a few mails from inbox on Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (32-bit).

We already tried "repair folder (Rebuild Summary File Index) and that range of emails are not visible.

What other process we can execute to make visible those missing emails?

Thank you,

Emerson

Why can't I delete "Archive" folder in my Thunderbird? (see attachment "Thunderbird - folders"). I even managed to remove it, but after a while a message appears (see attachment "Attention"). My settings are as follows in the attachment "Thunderbird - settings". When I close and reopen Thunderbird the "Archive" folder reappears. When I access my email through a browser, there is no "Archive" folder (see attachment "Webmail - folders"). Also a screenshot of the folders in webmail (attachment "Webmail").

How should I proceed to finally get rid of the old "Archive" folder?

Hello, I'm Christian. I am still facing issues changing my Thunderbird into an IMAP account, for following reasons: -exporting the existing is OK -creating the IMAP account is OK -Reimporting the messages from previous POP3 account difficult, because: -when using the import fonction, a local folder is being created with a directory three that looks liked the previous Dir structure I had previously. But transfering the folder and files proves difficult, the copy/paste function does not work properly so I can't just click and drag. My thunderbird folder is approx. 20g, could that be the reason? Furthermore, I cannot delete the previous POP3 account or the local folders. Any idea why? I actually do have a thunderbird account (POP3) comprises of 4 differents email addresses, I can delete 3, but not the last one as it appears to be the default one. Thanks a lot for your support, much appreciated. Christian

The latest rev is VERY slow (several seconds) compared to prior revs to process email changes within INBOX (OPEN, MOVE, DELETE, etc.)

Something new is going on internally to the program while the hour-glass appears for a few seconds more than before (I did not change any settings w/ latest upgrades).

I followed the productivity tip to use 'baskets' called Respond, To Read, and Revisit and found it quite useful.

Then Thunderbird updated to Nebula 128.1.0esr (32-bit) and now I can't find the three 'baskets' - they've vanished.

Of course I don't know what messages were in the baskets and can't find them now.

Please help Duncan
