Forum zgromaźeństwa Thunderbird

I have a large Gmail inbox with about 260,000 messages collected over many years. After setting up the account as IMAP it took several days to download the full messages ("Syncing").

However, even after the syncing of all 260,000 has completed, I get a message in the Status bar that messages are downloading again; e.g Downloading message xx of 40,707 in Inbox...

After done, and a few hours later, it start gain, now Downloading message xx of 7,149 in Inbox... This keeps going on during the day with different remaining numbers in the inbox (increasing and increasing numbers).

I am not sure what triggers the download. Maybe when I look at another Inbox and then return to this Gmail inbox(?)

How can I troubleshoot this? Is there some way to find which messages are downloading? I am assuming that the same messages are downloading multiple times (I am receiving less that 50 messages/day).

I am using Betterbird 115.14.0-bb31 (64-bit) on Windows 7. When the messages are downloading the CPU goes very high and the program (and PC ) become unresponsive.

I can click on View, layout then either Classic, Vertical, or Wide view and nothing changes on my Email inbox. When I installed the update on my desktop the view stayed as it was since I installed the program which I think it was or prior to 115. Thunderbird has been updated to 128.1. When I installed 128.1 fresh install on my laptop it has a card style view and I can't change it no mater which view the check mark is on. Restarting Thunderbird after changing the check mark to different views had no affect. Maybe I am misunderstanding the terminologies.

Hi,Before the last update which changed a lot Now if I reply to a email & need to save it before sending it,I cannot where as before I could reply to a email & needd to save it before sending it,now I cannot WHY & HOW to thanks Darryl

Help! My main email address and another one no longer are listed when I open Thunderbird. I tried to reinstall my main email but was prompted that it already exists. I have not received any email since 7/23/2024. My main email is belaflom@belaflom.com.

My house was hit by a lightning strike and it blew out my computer. It looks like both the drives in that computer are readable. So I am wondering how I can get all my email back into thunderbird. It was a pop account. All email was saved to computer. I'm using windows 10. I tried to just copy the old file at Users/Mike/AppData/Roaming but that didn't work. It didn't bring back all of the folders. Please let me know if there's anyway to rebuild all the folders and emails. Thanks in advance for your help. Mike

hey, After the last 2 updates, my quick filtering (ctrl+shift+K) broke. It works very slowly, it freezes the entire program. Is there any way to fix this? I work on Windows 10, regularly updated

My COX email was transferred to Yahoo a few months ago. I followed the procedure outlined by COX and changed over to Thunderbird as I had used before. Everything worked great until the morning of August 18. I cannot receive or send email. I have tried contacting Yahoo who will not help me unless I subscribe to their Premium Technology package. I would really like to talk with someone from Thunderbird but have not found any help. HELP I cannot receive or send email

I have 10 email accounts in my Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit) and I am using Microsoft Windows 10 Pro and all my sent, draft, archives and templates are going into a different folder. I want them to go into the folder from which the email was sent but they are all going into the email tinakeeling@att.net.

I have changed it to reflect the correct folder but then a few days later and every time I restart Thunderbird the program changes the folders back to tinakeeling@att.net

I have even unchecked the box "place a copy in" and when Thunderbird is restarted it reverts back.

What can I do to fix this issue?

See attached picture of what I am talking about

I'm trying to install Thunderbird on my new PC as I can no longer use Outlook (thanks Microsoft). I use Spectrum for my email (rbaldwin2@woh.rr.com), and I'm not able to get Thunderbird to work. I think I'm not getting the settings correct, so need help. I can be reached at my email address, or preferably from a live person at 937-416-9479. Thank you - Bob Baldwin

It seems that Thunderbird has set a checkmark for the new feature Attach VCF to the messages I send. But I think that programs should never change my settings without explicitly telling me. It is now unticked.

I am using Mac OS Ventura 13.6.9. I have been a Thunderbird user for many years. Since this last update, I have started having issues where not all emails are displaying. Seems like most recent emails open correctly, but when I get to emails that are a day or 2 old, I get the the following banner across the top of the screen when the email opens, but can't open the remainder of the email.

I have attached a screenshot to show what I am seeing.

I am using gmail and I can access the emails in gmail, but not in Thunderbird. What is the fix for this?

Thanks

I saw a post about creating a calendar event directly from email ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1091761]) and it mentioned using

Right Click-Convert To-Event or Task

However, I do not see that option. The post is archived so I cannot followup with the original posting.

Thumderbird asked if it could compact folders. Said yes. Now all that shows is the title line for all emails in inbox, but NO content displayed.

Can still see content in emails that are in other folders, seems to be only inbox that will not show content of the emails

New emails arriving will show content as well as some old old emails in inbox

In attempting to address inbox message duplication in Thunderbird (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1453812#answer-1666737), I've been systematically deleting thousands of old emails from my inbox, followed by a folder compacting.

Now, many of the remaining messages are unreadable. Most appear to be blank /empty, while some appear as gibberish text. I've tried repairing the folder using the tool in Folder Properties. That may have made the problem worse.
