In Outlook, when I navigate to a folder and reply to an email in that folder, the email I send is automatically categorised into that folder, and no other copy appears elsewhere (such as in the 'Sent' folder).

Is this behaviour natively possible in Thunderbird without resorting to an add-on?

I realise there is the option to 'Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to' in the 'Copies & Folders' settings of the email account, but this places a second copy in the 'Sent' folder. I tried experimenting with the radio button options '"Sent" Folder on' and 'Other' in the same settings section, but no combination seems to place one and only one email corresponding to the email I sent in the folder I emailed from without creating a copy in the 'Sent' folder of the account.

After an update a few months ago, all installations of thunderbird always open the calendar tab when the program starts. Previously, calendar tab only opened if I opened it (or maybe if it was left open when last shut down, idr now, sorry). This is only a nuisance, having to close the tab each time I start tbird.

I didn't post about this immediately, as I figured others would experience the same issue (or related) and devs would fix the problem. But it has been several months now and this does get to be annoying. I know that merely clicking a close button shouldn't be that big a deal, but I don't understand why this would become the default; moreover, why there doesn't seem to be any way to disable the calendar or at least modify this new behavior.

I've been using tbird for at least a decade and found it to be reasonably simple to use. I use the calendar function, but only for some installations. I would appreciate being able to change the behavior of the startup or maybe just disable calendar altogether where it isn't needed.

Thanks.

I've been using Thunderbird for my email for many years with no problems at all that I can remember, but all of a sudden, just in the last couple days it has become very, very sluggish to respond to clicks and commands. So far as I can know, I've not done anything that should have caused this to happen. Any ideas and/or suggestions?

From my inbox I normally highlight any emails I want to send to trash and press the DEL key. This morning when I tried to move these across I got a message advising that if I continue it would remove all files from my trash folder. My server settings are move them to nominated folder - see attached. How can I delete from the inbox and transfer to the trash?

The second problem I encounter is whenever I attempt to log into my Thunderbird account I am directed to go through the "Create an account" process as if I don't have an existing account???

'Have enabled and disabled. restarted, both times. Tried troubleshooting mode, and cleared the cache. Could not find the setting in the config screen. Not sure I was looking for the right thing, anyway. Your help will be greatly appreciated. John Looze

I am currently on Ver 115.12.2 (32-bit), but I've had this problem over several versions. I recently downgraded from the 64bit version (for a different reason), it had the same issue.

Old messages in the Inbox are listed twice, including those that have been read. New incoming messages are not duplicated, messages where I've deleted the duplicates are not again duped. Messages that get filtered to or moved to folders are not duped. Old messages that are in folders are not duped.

I have several email accounts in TB, and I only see this on my most active- of course! I have compacted all folders many times and rebuilt the Global Database with no effect. I tried opening in Troubleshooting mode and they are still duplicated. It is a POP account.

Last night all my messages current not received and saved and received disappeared. at one time my pharmacy came up but when I got out and went back in they disappeared, I did try to empty basket on junk mail but couldn.t

After downloading TB128.0.1esr (32-bit) the following error appears continously"

Authentication failure while connecting to server pop3.live.com

This was not an issue before this download!

Booted my computer this morning and eventually Thunderbird. New mail downloaded, but does not appear. All messages gone from midnight to 11:53 AM. Messages are on the server, but not my client.

I just updated Thunderbird to the latest version (128.0.1 esr 32 bit), and now a repeated event shows all of the repeats in the list. Is there a way to remove that from the list? I liked it better the old way.

I'm no longer able to signon to Thunderbird on my laptop. I can signon to gmail.com server to view email. 2 iPads and 2 iPhones also provide email. Just can't get Thunderbird signon to work on my laptop. I suspect this somehow involves Google. When I try to get msgs in Thunderbird, a panel pops up "Enter credentials for Google". Message indicates Signin to continue to Mozilla Thunderbird email. Then asks for a password. What password? Google or Thunderbird? Neither works. Not sure what to try next. Any help would be appreciated.

Dzień dobry, mam problem ponieważ komunikat z załącznika pokazuje się co minutę , oraz przy każdym wysyłaniu wiadomości muszę się logować. Utrudnia to pracę. Proszę o szybką odpowiedź i naprawę.

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
