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?

Regards

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

PS I have folder modes set to "All folders"

Here is the code to send and email with attachment from excel using outlook, I would like to send the email with Thunderbird and cannot work it out.

Sub EmailAspdf()

Dim EApp As Object Set EApp = CreateObject("outlook.application")

Dim EItem As Object

path = "C:\Users\nigel\OneDrive\Self Employed\invoices\" invno = Range("C3") custname = Range("B10") fname = invno & " - " & custname amt = Range("H41") dt_issue = Range("C5") term = Range("C6")

ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat _ Type:=xlTypePDF, _ IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _ Filename:=path & fname

Set nextrec = Sheet3.Range("A1048576").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)

nextrec = invno nextrec.Offset(0, 1) = custname nextrec.Offset(0, 2) = amt nextrec.Offset(0, 3) = dt_issue nextrec.Offset(0, 4) = dt_issue + term nextrec.Offset(0, 8) = Now

Sheet3.Hyperlinks.Add anchor:=nextrec.Offset(0, 6), Address:=path & fname & ".pdf"

   Set EItem = EApp.CreateItem(0)
           
   With EItem
   
       .To = Range("B16")

Why do mails disappear out of sight when I have read them. I only can see the unread mails in Thunderbird.. I have to go on the net to my one.com-mail to find the mails I have read.

For some time E-mails open as blank tabs. This mainly happens for older E-mails but it is still kind of random. Everything else seems to work fine so I'm really puzzled here. I tried a lot already: updated to the latest version (28.1.0esr), Troubleshoot Mode, compacting ... any suggestions or similar experiences?

When I open an email and begin scrolling, the cursor will move several lines then stop. Moving the scroll wheel on the mouse does nothing, Than, after several seconds, the cursor will jump down several lines and begin working normally. Then it stops, pauses several seconds, then works. Scrolling is jumpy, erratic. I have a couple of other programs (word processor, browser) that I use the scroll wheel to scroll through documents, web sites, etc. and they all work fine. I only see this problem in TB.

Hi,

I am facing an issue with Thunderbird.

I integrated my email address but there problem is the new message is giving "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" but I can reply and receive the emails.

Please guide me about it.

Many Thanks

First.. I HATE threaded messages. I'm sure there are plenty of use cases for it but I truly despise all things threaded when it comes to e-mail. Yet somehow mozilla seems to believe that it must be that absolute best thing in all the world for everyone to use. As there appears to be no way to GLOBALLY disable the use of threaded messages. By disable I mean, I don't even want to see a threaded column. I never want to see messages from any folder or new mail account even have an option for threaded. I want the entire feature to be completely removed. While I'm sure that removal of said feature is pretty much something that isn't going to happen. It would be nice to have a way to simply not have it be used at all. I shouldn't need to go and highlight a bunch of folders or turn it off EVERY time I add a new folder. I HATE sort by threaded because I HATE threaded messages. So why isn't there a way to just turn it off.

So.. I'm using a DESKTOP version not a mobile version. And NO I don't want to highlight folders.. there MUST be a way to just turn off threaded completely.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren!

Ich spreche nur ein sehr rudimentäres Englisch und müsste deshalb diese Mail durch den Google Übersetzer laufen lassen, der aber oft gravierende grammatikalische Mängel aufweist! Ich versuche deshalb in der deutschen Sprache.

Ich habe ein Problem, dass ich nicht alleine lösen kann. Leider habe ich auch keine befriedigende und entsprechende Lösung im Internet gefunden, die mir hier weiterhilft!

Ich hatte ein lokales Konto, das das nach einem Update von Thunderbird plötzlich keine Unterordner mehr hat!

Früher war es so, dass sich lediglich die Eingabe von User und Passwort abgelehnt habe, so blieben mir alle meine Unterordner erhalten ohne dass ich Kontakt zu dem E-Mail-Server aufnehmen musste!

Was ist zu tun, damit ich diese Ordner aus meinem lokalen Profil wiederherstellen kann?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen Gideon Effinger

Keep getting a problem with Gmail, since it went to the new security login OAuth2, it works for a little while with all the permissions granted etc, then I come back a little while later, I get gmail popups (see images) asking to give permission for TBird to access gmail mail/contacts/calendar etc. I was getting a bit fed up with it so removed the gmail account on TBird - BUT I still get the popups even though I deleted the account... It's driving me nuts (win11, desktop etc). I haven't got a lot of hair left, so any help would be gratefully received!
