Thunderbird 128.1.0esr takes more than six seconds to open an email or to delete an mail. Thunderbird is totally unresponsive and frozen during this delay time. This is very bad. I have taken all steps to ensure that my installation is not the reason. The previous version of Thunderbird was even worse. This still remains unusable. As the final measure, I even tried 'view message body as plan text' but this did not cut the time either. If the email is opened the first time, this delay occurs. If the same email is re-displayed again later, the delay does not occur. The delay always occurs when deleting an email. Opening the Mozilla email address certification mail from you guys to create a Mozilla account took more than 10 seconds to open and display. I am running Windows 11 in a VERY fast machine. I hope there is a solution; if not I have to find another email software. The delay also happens if Thunderbird is started in the debugging mode (shift-click).

In June, bluemenofmorocco@gmail.com no longer sends or receives email via thunderbird. Other Gmail addresses keep working via thunderbird. Says authentication error. I recall I had to set up a password with Google on my Google account. My daughter says this happens sometimes a third party access issue. I don't recall this earlier password to Google years ago. Thank you for your help.

I recently had to re-install Thunderbird for technical reasons. I lost all my saved emails (in folders) but they are still on the server's website - Bigpond. I have contacted Bigpond but they state it is not possible to export them to my email account. Can you please help with a solution? Thanks Chris

Hi, I am using windows 10 pro and i use thunderbird for my emails. Can you please tell me how i can easily backup to a usb and how i can check if its done correctly? Thank you

I usually work with my computer hardwired to my router. For some reason, this is not working anymore and now I have my computer connected via wifi. As soon as I changed from cable to wifi, Thunderbird started to ask permission to connect to my Google account every time I open Thunderbird. Sometimes I have to grant permission several times. At some point, it stops and I can keep on with my work until the next time I restart my computer and open Thunderbird. Then the cycles starts all over again. Any ideas¿?

As seen in the image, I have wasted spacing after the message in the list, how can I either remove the wasted space, or preferably, center the text as is the norm with outlook/emclient/others

It just looks and feels so unnatural and i just cant get used to it.

Questions re Email Inbox and Reply window:

1) I can't find a list here showing the Inbox icons and what they mean, specifically this one. I can't delete it, nor do I see anything in the inbox list of column indicators that it might be. I'd like to know what it's for and if/how it can be removed.

2) I want to have more space for the message pane; the only way to do this is to have a smaller font size for the email List pane. I don't see where I can change this. Is it possible to decrease this font size? I've tried but haven't t been able to locate info on this website.)

3) Reply font: I keep changing it to my Preference, but it keeps going back to a default.

Also, find it annoying that I can't select a specific font SIZE. I've never seen a Windows desktop software of ANY kind, not just email, which doesn't give have choice of font size as well as the font itself. Is there a suggestion area on this website?

Thanks.

When I open T bird in win 10 or 11, it takes a couple of minutes to scan all my email accounts, during which time the program is too slow to be useable. Is there a fix for that?

We have a Thunderbird email for our woodcraft organisation. It is linked to our website. The website is hosted on the server of a member of the club, but we need to remove the website from his server. We have decided to close the website down. Will this impact on our email? If necessary, we can create a new Thunderbird email address, which is an inconvenience, but is there any way Thunderbird can move all the existing emails across to a new address? If not, I will have to save them all some other way, which is a big job. Many thanks in anticipation.

I have two email accounts set up as POP mail servers that I want Thunderbird v. 128.1.0esr (64-bit) to check. Until recently they both worked fine. Now while one of them continues to work, mail for the other is never downloaded. Comparing the Thunderbird Server Settings for the two accounts, they appear to be identical except for User Name and MessageStorage/Local Directory.

Even more confusing, I have identical accounts on both a laptop and a desktop computer. I get the problem with the laptop (above), but *not* with the desktop, where I have Thunderbird v. 102.15.1 installed!

Is there some setting I'm overlooking?

I'm considering changing the location of my HOME calendar. I went to Home Thunderbird Calendar "Changing calendar preferences" in Mozilla support and looked at "Location". It said "Location: This is the location of your calendar. Do not edit this unless you know what you are doing."

I have not had much success in getting more detail. What do I need to know to be sure I know what I am doing.

Receiving a 'bounced' notice in my inbox that tells me to advise sender to reduce the size of their message. It does not tell me who the sender is. How can I figure this out?

Thunderbird did an automatic update late today and since then have been unable to send emails. Incoming emails appear to be working.

I am using a Gmail IMAP account

The error message is - " Login to server smtp.gmail.com with username stevematulick@gmail.com failed. "

When I then select cancel then get a further Error message -

"Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com. Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'. "

I quit all and shut down my computer on 30 July 2024. On returning, ( 9 August 2024) and re-opening everything, I cannot get any emails newer than when I shutdown the system. Am I doing something wrong?

Dear MZLA,

I donated to MZLA, looking forward to an "improved" Thunderbird. I am very frustrated by the result.

Downloaded and started new Thunderbird, and I have several questions:

This is a serious inquiry; I am desperate for information & help.

1. What happened to my address book? How can I get it back? A hundred or more addresses just disappeared.

2. What happened to all of my saved messages? How can I get them back? I used to have a neatly organized file of saved messages. If I was still using Tbird for my business, I would be looking for a lawyer. As it is, I am simply looking for something as useful as the old Tbird.

3. How can I save a message to a specific category or off line file? I used to have several hundred categorized files in my data base for saved messages.

4. Why does my effort to use a help request not respond to my mouse clicks? It seems to always want more donations.

5. Can I go back to the old version? It was easier to use and more straightforward.

6. What am I missing in this "new and improved" version? Is there another email application that would give me the nice features of the old Thunderbird?

7. Can I revert back to the old Tbird and recover the extensive lost addresses and saved messages?

8. If I decide the "new and improved" Tbird will not provide the features the old one did, how can I get a refund of my contribution?

Your early response will be appreciated.

Jon Wilson,

How do I delete multiple emails? I keep getting emails that say that I am at 95%. The only way I have figured out how to delete emails is one at a time! That will take a long time. I have tried clicking and selecting and that is not working! HELP!
