Thunderbird Support Forum

I've been happily using Thunderbird for a long time and now have version 115.12.2 (64-bit) on my MacBook Pro. It's old (10.14.6) but it's all I need. Until yesterday, TB worked fine. Suddenly, business emails stopped saving to my "Sent" Folder. I deleted a number of old emails and compacted the folder but that has not helped. I don't have the problem with other TB accounts. I checked the account settings:

               Place a copy in "Sent" Folder on (my account) – as it always was.

I also checked "Show confirmation dialog when messages are saved". Despite seeing that, the message is NOT saved.

Are my sent mails from the last 24 hours saved anywhere? If so, how can I retrieve them?. How can I make sure they are saved in my "Sent" folder? Thanks so much!

Dear Sir or Madame,

I posted this issue already earlier (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1428881?utm_campaign=questions-reply&utm_source=notification&utm_medium=email#answer-1613810), but it still persists.

Zited from my earlier report: The usual process that happened when deleting or separating attachments from e-mails was that a copy of the email without the attachment was produced by Thunderbird and the original email was deleted.

This is not longer working. When I delete an attachment, the original email containing the attachment is not deleted. So I have two versions of the email in my postbox, one with the attachment, the other without.

Probably I'm missing a setting?

Thunderbird version 115.3.3 (32-Bit)

Still happening with 115.12.2 (32-Bit)

Sincerely yours, Markus Piotrowski

I recently got a new PC with WINDOWS 10 and loaded Thunderbird to pick up my email. However, now the mail client keeps making new profile folders, which I keep trying to delete. I am up to 6 now. THey are all in my deleted section of my Local Folders. How do I remove them for good. I thought all deleted items were supposed to disappear once you close the program, no? I never had to even deal with Profile Folders on my older PC. Thank oyu for your assistance.

Hi This morning when I tried to send an email I got a message there was no disk space & so couldn't save copy to sent (I have 848 GB free on HD)

I tried to copy some old sent emails to a folder I've used in the past (old sent) & TB crashed. When I restarted it, many of my subfolders were missing. They are all still showing in Local folders in profile. I deleted all msf files & restarted TB. Nothing.

How can I restore these folders? Hopefully that's possible! Thanks

Using Thunderbird version 115.11.0 (64-bit) with Windows 7 OS and THREADING TURNED OFF.

When I receive a second reply to an email I've sent via one of my email service providers that uses an outlook365 server, my thunderbird view hides it beneath the first reply unless I manually intervene by clicking on the "greater than" sign associated with the first reply. When I do click on the first reply the greater than sign spins clockwise 90 degrees and the second reply appears below the first as if it were in a subdirectory.

The above behaviour is very inconvenient because I am prone to missing the second reply and have trouble anticipating its existence. Admittedly the unread second reply does change the first reply's text property to "bold" but I much prefer to see the new message without having to manually click on everything bold to check.

Another email service provider I use also has an Outlook365 server but second replies to emails are not hidden in its associated thunderbird inbox?

Can anything be done in thunderbird to stop this "feature" or is it absolutely fixed by service providers?
