I had a cryptogroup email account on Mozilla Thunderbird for many years. Then quite suddenly it stopped working. I could get no information about why or what happened even long after it expired. It just went away.

I moved to another system. But I find myself in a legal battle that requires an email from that system. I have no way to access it since the server is no longer available. But I desperately need a copy of that email.

Is there any way I can get to those emails or to someone who can get to those emails and send me a copy of the email I am looking for?

Obviously this cryptogroup email will not work any longer. So any notifications sent to it will not get to me. So Please send any response to nvfree@proton.me.

Thank you.

Hi This is not the first time I am getting this issue. I have among many email accounts from diverse providers 2 Outlook & 1 Hotmail email accounts. For some reason, in the last 2 weeks, Thunderbird stopped automatically logging in, although I have not changed log-in data for any of them. If I try to sign in the provided Thunderbird log in box, it rejects the log in. Even stranger, after running Thunderbird in the background in the last 2 hours, like today, SUDDENLY & without warning, I get alerts of new mail in the Hotmail account. This also happens for the Outlook accounts, which show new mail having come in yesterday and the other day, although as of now, unlike Hotmail, the other 2 have not subsequently logged in yet. I can log in via Firefox into those accounts, but Thunderbird will not, at least at the start of Thunderbird, but at a time later I have no control of? What is this strange behavior affecting only Hotmail & Outlook and how can it be permanently corrected?

Thank you in advance

Whenever I reply to an email, Thunderbird inserts a detailed email header above the message to which I am replying. How do I minimize that info to Date-time, Sender, Receiver, and Subject?

Thunderbird 128.0.1 Nebula just updated. Now it freezes up when I try to open an account's Inbox. The main interface page shows messages in an account but when I go to the account and click on the inbox Thunderbird freezes up! I never had this problem with the previous version. I have multiple accounts with multiple services and it hangs/freezes on every single one. Sometims if I let it sit for several seconds, it will open. Other times I have to close Thunderbird and re-open it to check the inbox.

Is there any way possible to revert back to the previous version? This is horrible! I absolutely HATE it!

all of a sudden Thunderbird would not "Send" any email ... a box comes up wanting the password for the Outgoing Server but Thunderbird will not accept the password which is correct and has actually been used before when this same problem happened

Is it possible to download Thunderbird onto an older windows 7 computer to collect my emails from a server where they still exist? (It is going to shut down soon.! ) I am currently using Outlook 2016 & POP and need to upgrade to a new PC and wish to take all my emails going back to 2018, when I go to it, In a form that I can read.! I understand taking emails to a new PC is fairly easy with Thunderbird which is why I want to come to you.

After I have downloaded all my old emails from old server using POP, Can I change Thunderbird to receive from the new server which is IMAP .? and can this change be made seamlessly within the Thunderbird programe so as to then continue receiving mails as normal? Please confirm this is all possible

Hello I donated yesterday, seems every time I make a donation something go array. Maybe a coincidence

Today I have 2 problems.

1. I can't see the text in any of my sent emails. The emails are there but the field for the text is blank. I tride restarting Thunderbird, I tried restarting my computer. Still Blank. Any thoughts on how to get them back.

2. In my inbox with random emails, not many, the text will change from what is readable to something that looks like HTML coding. Here is an example.

Have used Thunderbird for many years without problem but today: 1. Thunderbird asked to compact Inbox folder said OK 2. After Compacting appear to have lost all emails back to 24th Jan 2023 emails prior to that date are OK) 3. Emails which had arrived today are shown with subject and time but on opening they are blank except for message ----=_NextPart_000_00BC_01D6069F.D8AB25B0- 4. Messages which came in after compacting were OK and readable. 5. Following comments previously made tried inbox/properties/repair folder. 6. Following attempted repair messages that were readable at 4. above were now blank except for the message "Next part...." as in 3 above.

A. Can I recover my lost emails? B How do I prevent Thunderbird from corrupting new emails when it compacts folder?

Cheers

Suddenly, Thunderbird lost all emails. I think it happen after I used the "AddressBook". I deleted some duplicate entries from there.

Somebody suggested to check the Indox file c:\Users\trei\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\j5akdx98.default\Mail\pop.GMail.com\Inbox

There I have found indeed that "X-Mozilla-Status" was 0000 instead of 0001. I closed TB, did a batch replace, deleted the msf files and indeed the emails were back. However soon after that they disappeared again. Now the status is correct (0001) but the messages still won't appear.

Hello, From yesterday we have a problem opening Thunderbird. It doesn't load, when we click 2 times on the icon it shows a text, which says Couldn't load XPCOM. We tried restarting the PC but it doesn't get better. May you help by telling us how we could fix it?

I am an aged pensioner of limited means & have already provided monthly donation to Mozilla & possibly other parts thereof & now you're asking for more donations from those in favor of / & already supporting. Does you're management of various aspects of your endeavours need to be rationalised??? & so increase support for your causes? Thunderbird, Mozilla & perhaps other aspects thereof?

I have 2 email addresses in use [edited from public] but this form has not been assembled to be informed of such situations!

Thunderbird on my computer is using a huge amount of system resources. It's using about 730 MB of RAM on any given day. The app also stalls for over 5 seconds if I'm trying to click between any two things in relative succession.

Comparatively, my outlook program uses only 130 MB of ram or so at the same time. The total RAM usage was using approximately 55% of my system resources. I've tried doing the reset and boot into the safety mode, but it just goes back when booted normally.

My computer has 16MG or RAM, 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1355U, 1700 Mhz, 10 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s), using Windows 11 Pro

Is it possible to open an email file from 2005? When I left the company I was working for in 2005, I copied what I thought was the main email files. I was hoping to load it into the latest version of Thunderbird. See attached screenshot for the files I saved. Thanks!

Thunderbird 128.0.1esr (32-bit) on Windows 10 (German version) When I open an email with attachments and I select "save all", Thunderbird crashes. An apology dialogue box opens and I can either close or restart Thunderbird. This started happening several weeks ago. Would be grateful for any help.
