Thunderbird Community Forum

Others have had hangs and/or have asked to revert to the last version. There was a response that said something about that not being a straightforward process, but no details were given on how to do it.

Most times that these hangs happen are when I start a quick search and it has Body included in the criteria. I have to kill it or else it just sits there forever. It's fairly frequent, but I also still can't get used to this new design and can't remember where things are. I want to revert or find something else. I've been using Thunderbird since Eudora went away. I do have emails saved under Local, as well as Gmail IMAP email for several accounts.

My current version is 115.12.2 (32-bit) on a 64-bit Windows 10 Pro Dell laptop. Some years ago I'd tried to go to the 64-bit version but for some reason it would not show up as installable. That may have been a previous laptop. I have a new laptop that I need to finish setting up. It's similar to this one, so maybe it would be better to use the old version "fresh" instead of reverting on the same laptop. IF someone can provide detailed instructions.

'What on earth has happened to my Thunderbird. I've been using it for years. But maybe 7-8 months ago there was an upgrade. And ever since the software has been extremely slow in starting. It takes at least a minute to start andn look for incoming mail, even if there is nothing there.

And when I am reading a message and want to look in my inbox, I can't go there directly but have click on Contacts first.

Dear Thunderbird.

Few minutes ago I did the update to 128esr Nebula, at first glance, it look pretty great...

But after the installation I found out that Antidote 11 is not compatible with this new version... DO you have an idea if something is in work so it will be compatible pretty soon ?

thanks ... for your great work a benoit

I am able to set up message filters to delete incoming messages from specific email addresses, names, subjects, etc., but I need to set one up to delete everything coming from a particular 'reply to' address. This spammer uses different 'From' names and addresses, so that's no help, but the 'reply to' address remains constant in all messages, and that is what I want to target. But 'Reply to' is not an option when setting up 'Match all of the following' etc. How can I do this? Many thanks!

When attempting to send an email this is the message I receive: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) gmail failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

I had my email address installed for many years. Recently it could no longer download messages into Thunderbird. I got an error message. I removed the email address and tried to reinstall it. I keep getting "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password." (All are correct) I am able to log into the web page and see my emails but I can't download them into Thunderbird like I use to do for several decades. HELP It is a Yahoo email address but is @bellsouth.net Please respond to ronseg@gmail.com. Thanks

My outlook email account got deleted this morning, suddenly. I tried reinstating it but it brought back old data. Old folders that were empty. This is a business account and I need it back ASAP.

How do I get it synced correctly to pull in all the correct data? This has never happened before. I"m at a total loss and need this information.

Thanks

For the last month or so, when I open Thunderbird the columns are often resized and the headings don't match the content (see example). If I close and reopen Thunderbird, this formatting goes away, but if I reopen it at some later point it is back.

I very often delete emails with attchments that have been or have not been saved. My question is what is the status of the attachment when the email is deleted. I obviously have a saved copy in memory but what happens to the attachment when I delete the email. Is it also deleted or is it still in the computer memory, if so can it be read. Advice please.

I have Thunderbird running on my Linux (mint). I can use it to access my mail on aol. It works well. I want to add a new email account I have on .gmail The last step wants to access "localhost" But the built in security functions will not allow that, so the addition of that new account fails. What can be done?

Why does Thunderbird create a "deleted messages" folder when there's already a perfectly good Trash folder? How can I get rid of it permanently. I've deleted it, but it reappears. I'd rather keep all my trash in one place.

On my old small laptop I wanted to increase interface font size. Erroneously thought that in layout.css.devPixelsPerPx I could insert the desired font size. I have inserted 12, now Thunderbird is unusable, some giant menu words appear but I cannot move anywhere. Can I I edit a configuration file manually to reset to a readable size? Which?

I have just downloaded the tvnz + app and now my original thunderbird mail display is a shambles. How do I get it back to normal, have been using it for many years ? Regards John T.

This is really not a big deal, and this may not be the right place to ask or report, but...

When Thunderbird downloads messages from my three email accounts into the Unified Inbox, the total number of messages that show in the red dot in the taskbar is just the number of new messages in my primary email account. This means that as new ones come into other accounts they never register in the taskbar. Is this a bug, or do I have something set up incorrectly?

Thunderbird Update auf 115.12.2 (64-Bit) is not working perfectly. The preview window in the 3 column view ist not updated. The movement of a sent message into sent messages is not working. Im running Win 11 and the problems acure after updating. Do You have any hints what I can do?

Thank You in advance
