Just updated to Thunderbird Nebula 128.0.1esr on Windows 11 and my calendars are all empty now. I have Google and Exchange (via OWL extension) calendars that have worked flawlessly up until this update, but all show no events in Thunderbird. No other changes have been made and the calendars appear populated in other applications.

Edit: Seems to have fixed itself after a reboot/on a different network. Still 128.0.1

Suddenly last night Thunderbird had copied several folders within one of my accounts. I discovered that the copy versions folders all were empty (while the original folders had the saved post. So I decided to move the empty folders into trashcan and then empty it. However I discovered after a reopening of Thunderbird that the original folders also were deleted, so I missed all my post within the many folders. Now I like to ask : Is there a way to recover such deleted folders, since as far as I know my C-drive has a backup while the program is functioning on my D-drive . So is there a way to recover deleted TB files from my d-drive by doing something in the TB program om my C-drive.  ??

Good morning, On 20/07 I noticed that Thunderbird duplicated all the defects. The option to remove duplicates does not work - no duplicates found. How can I fix this?

Hello everyone, I have stored several e-mail addresses for most of my contacts (private address, business address, etc.) and now I want to create mailing lists that use different addresses of those contacts for different uses. But even if I add a specific address of a contact in a mailing list the address is altered to the address that ist marked as standard for this contact on saving the mailing list. So all mailing lists end up with the same addresses for the same contacts instead of different ones. Is that a intended behavour? Or in other words: mailing lists can solely contain addresses marked as 'standard'. It is not possible to use a 'alternative' e-mail address in a mailing list. I hope there is a way to achieve this which I haven't found so far. Kind regards, Peter

Hi, My instance of Thunderbird keeps crashing. I've tried emptying the startup cache, troubleshooter mode, reboot windows, turn off anti-virus. Nothing seems to work. It freezes sometimes and needs to be killed, but most times it crashes, sometimes right upon startup. I am not sure how to debug. Thank you! -D

Hi there, I use iPrimus. I can Receive emails. I am currently based in Thailand (previously Australia - no issues)

Whenever I attempt to send an email from Thailand, I get the message: "Send Message Error Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: smtp692.syd.oss-core.net."

Outgoing Server Settings: smtp.iprimus.com.au Port 587 (default) - (NB I tried 465 without success) Connection: STARTTLS Authentication: Normal Password

Hi there team,

I am using the Thunderbird in my MacBook Air M1 2020 and there are times that it don't work. Also, it will take days for the mails to actually load. And when I encounter the error. It prompts "Connection to server time out". And the email will keep on loading and I cannot receive new emails or send one. But sometimes it also works. I do not know what seems to be the problem. Please note that my internet is also always good. My mail settings are also correct. As Ive said, there are times that it is working however, it is always not working. How can I always make it work. I am a new macbook user. But always an iphone gal. Please see attached images for your reference. Thank you so much in advance for your help.

The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: [AUTH] Invalid credentials.

Does anyone know how do I can get my feeds back? I hope all my saved feeds are still stored somewhere as I use them for research. I just went to look something up and the whole heading is totally gone!

I have a new laptop, and have installed Thunderbird, which I have used for years. I have duplicated the settings on the new laptop that were on the old one. The old laptop did not have this problem.

When I send an email to Rogers Account 2, it doesn't arrive, ever. When an email is sent to Rogers Account 1, it arrives in the inboxes of both accounts.

I have allowed Thunderbird to do the account server setup, and have also done it manually. I've followed the setup instructions on Rogers Yahoo. Nothing has solved the problem.

So now I must see if anyone has any further ideas, as I can't find the problem.

There are many answers to the question of how to disable message threading. All are from earlier versions than mine, which is 115.7.0 -- as witnessed: Sorry! 0 results found for ‘disable threading in version 115.7.0’ for ‘Thunderbird'

Thunderbird seems to have so many minor changes and alterations in the recent past, that basic usability is affected. Not a good thing.

Once before, a few years ago, Thunderbird got so out of control that I had to go to a different mail client. Are we back to that?

OK, this is really complicated, and involves trying to rescue an old Eudora account to Thunderbird. If anyone wants the whole gory story, please ask and I'll tell all. ( I used Eudora Mailbox Cleaner and Eudora Rescue.) But the simple question is: is it possible to import a Thunderbird profile created on a Mac into a Thunderbird program on a PC? Thanks for any help.

As many have noted, this change eliminates the ability to search for past calendar items. It was a useful ability, especially for interval checking (say, "How long since my last dental hygiene?") but for many other tasks as well. Search of past events needs to be reinstated, if not in the previous manner, then in another - and sooner rather than later.

My emails stopped sending suddenly this morning after restarting Thunderbird. (Receive OK) Attached is screenshot of my SMPT settings. Also attached are the error messages I receive. The first message (received after trying to send with the settings in the screenshot) indicates that I should change Authentication Method to Normal Password. When I change the Authentication Method to Normal Password, I receive the second error message when trying to send. I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. (I have tried turning off my antivirus/firewall.)

I want to use another laptop to receive emails, so I removed the account from my current computer. Then I realize I lost the emails as well. I found the profile folder, just wondering if I will be able to access all the emails I received and sent before?

Have tried Nebula on LinuxMint Cinnamon and presently on KDE Neon (both latest versions) and it takes approximately 8 seconds for Thunderbird to shutdown.

Have two email accounts setup, both IMAP (GMail and GMX).

Hi, I have been using T-Bird and Firefox exclusively on Ubuntu since 2014. Periodically, and it seems to coincide with either one of those updating, I have had an ongoing issue with my ability to click on links in my email and have them automatically open my browser (if not already open) or to open in a tab when Firefox is already open. At some point while suffering with this condition it will 'just fix itself' and work sometimes for months or years then do it all over again. I have tried over the years to fix it myself and have read & tried every suggested solution that can be found. I can open my emails in AOL, click on any link and have it open in Firefox. This leads me to believe the problem is with T-bird and not any settings in my browser but just in case I have examined settings in both apps and not found a cause or solution. I have tried every suggested fix in 'config' and have even removed and reinstalled T-bird three different times over the years but to no avail. I really hate having to start over with a new installation especially since it doesn't fix the problem but has caused no end of headaches trying to retrieve my address book and re-customize my email program back to how I like it. PLEASE! Mozilla it's time to fix this ongoing problem that quite obviously plagues so many users out there. I am open to any and all suggested solutions but will be surprised if anyone can suggest something I haven't already tried.

When I recieve long e-mails that I must forward to others how do I edit parts of the text of the e-mails so some infos keep confidentials for some of the recipients and do not become public to all ? Do I have to rewrite the text everytime for each of the ?
