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?

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).

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")
   
       .Subject = "Invoice PO No: " & Range("C4")
       
       .Body = "Hi," & vbCrLf & "Please find invoice attached." & vbCrLf & "Regards" & vbCrLf & "Nigel"
      
       .Attachments.Add (path & fname & ".pdf")
   
       .Display
       
   End With

Exit Sub

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.

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

Hello, Please tell me, according to this code, on which date should the email be sorted for received in the Date column: August 6th or June 8th? The email was sent on August 6th, but TB sorted it into the Date column on June 8th? Why? Where is the problem?

I am trying to delete messages in my Deleted folder. This is the one that is automatically set up. I have tried all the steps described here: https://www.recoveryfix.com/blog/cannot-delete-messages-in-thunderbird/

But none of them work. Or rather, the folder appears empty for a few minutes and then begins to refill, giving slightly different message counts each time (sometimes 14,000, sometimes 10,000....). What do I do?

Thank you! Daniela

Hi, after a phone update this morning (Samsung) my phone Email has stopped working..?? Also my Thunderbird, on my PC has suddenly changed colours to an awful orange. (Top of page and selected Emails) Anyone got and ideas how to fix these two issues, Cheers, Ron.

All of a sudden some of my emails aren't working. I get a long URL to open them with and a notice that "It looks like your email client might not support HTML formatted email." What's going on??

Thunderbird updated. Win 10 system. TB ver 128.1.0esr (64-bit) Using Globat. SMTP settings per Globat recommendations. TB has been very slow. Does not keep up with my typing, e.g., it will "zone out" and characters will be dropped. Today, stopped sending emails from all email addresses. Can download - so far. Did troubleshooting. Failed. Suggestions? Help, please. Thank you.

Since August 5, 2024 many of my emails open as random letters and numbers ( behind the scenes code) or as a blank page. I have used Thunderbird for over 14 years and never had this problem. I can't read my emails because the message does not display except as a full page of random letters and numbers or it opens as a blank white page. Also since August 5th, when I use the search bar to look for a particular email, the screen bogs down. If I type in Don the only letter that displays in the search bar is d. Then a wheel turns and finally the remaining letter appear in the search bar after 60-90 seconds displaying don. Then the blue wheel turns again for 60-120 seconds and finally the emails that match the search parameters appears on the screen. This has happened also since August 5th 2024. It takes way TOO long to accomplish any task with these issues.

I scanned my computer for viruses. I cleaned my cache. I deleted all mail in trash. I call my ISP and asked for help. I ran the repair folder option 3 times. Not all emails fail to open but a significant number will not open. I work. I need to read my emails.

Please help. My email is [edited] @swcp.com. My phone # is [edited phone# from public community support forum]. Thanks you. HELP!!!!

Since update to ver 128.1.0esr the "new subfolder" feature does not work (does not show window to name new folder). I have many subfolders and I rely on them heavily. I tried restarting Thunderbird, then Windows. I ran in debug mode with no success. I downloaded and installed 128.2.0esr again. No change.

Is it possible to go back to the earlier version? Which is? Thanks, Frederick

In the past, I could highlight many emails, then shift-delete. Now they come back after the deletion. Is this a new process? Is there now some other way to delete many emails? Is there some setting to change? OR is this a problem, on my end, with Thunderbird, or AOL? Brian Quirk [edited] @verizon.net [edited phone# from public community support forum]

Hello, This morning, after I opened Thunderbird, I discovered that in my "Sent" folder, the content of all of my sent emails going back a few years were missing. The headers with the recipient names and subject were fine. Just nothing in the message pane, and also there were no attachments that had I sent to some of the recipients. In a internet search of similar problems in a previous Thunderbird forum, one person advised to right click the problem folder and then click "repair". After doing that and restarting the program, I was now shocked to discover that my latest "Sent" emails going back a couple of years were now completely missing. I opened every one of my various folders but could not find those missing "Sent" messages anywhere. Even files that "sent" folder that I had moved to other folders the past couple of days did not have any content in their message pane. However, my messages that I sent today were fine. My PC is an HP with Windows 10. My internet provider is Comcast, and I have used Thunderbird for many years as my email client with no problems - until now. The missing "sent" emails are all business emails that I sent to various clients, so I would really like to get them back if possible. BTW, my PC did an automatic hard shutdown during the night for what I think was for maintenance and to load some Windows updates. Therefore, I had to do a full start-up this morning. I wonder if this could have caused my problem?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Fresh install of 128.1.0esr in Ubuntu 2. New Message 3. Drag image file into compose window and drop as inline

Expected Result

Image displays inline
