Since the update of Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit) it freezes every couple minutes on a profile with 3 email accounts. One - no longer used - has about 2300 emails and is kept to access old emails.

The second is my primary Gmail account with 4351 emails in Inbox and 2234 in Outbox. Inbox shows 1.2 gb and Outbox 911 mb. The freezing has caused very significant challenges with reading and sending emails due to the freezing. As it is my primary email it is extremely concerning. And I am in the middle of a couple huge projects so I am getting a lot of emails.

The third is minimal with 26 emails.

I know it is not the number of accounts in the profile as I have 4 other profiles with more accounts and none of them freeze at all. (I manage/monitor other websites and keep them all separate.)

Also as others have noted the Filter function is doing weird stuff and rarely works properly anymore.

I'm trying to work out how to save two different profiles on the task bar (a profile for my work accounts and one for my personal accounts). I'm nearly there and even had it sort of working for a while but the solution wasn't reliable and something somewhere breaks it after a while. I was wondering if there's a more reliable version than the way I did it.

I basically followed the instructions for adding two firefox icons to the taskbar, replacing Firefox with Thunderbird with a few adjustments. (https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/s2k5tt/have_multiple_firefox_profile_and_taskbar_icons/)

• Create two profiles.
• Create a Shortcut (on the desktop) for Thunderbird.
• Drag Shortcut to taskbar
• Open Thunderbird from the new icon.
• Enter Config Editor (Tools>Settings>Config Editor)
• Add taskbar.grouping.useprofile=true and browser.startup.blankwindow=false to the advanced config settings
• Close Thunderbird and open it up again. You should now get two Thunderbird icons on taskbar. Make sure both are pinned.
• Right-click one of the Thunderbird icon,right click the instance within and then properties. Replace "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"" with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P WorkProfile" in the Target edit box.
• Do the same with the other pinned icon but with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P PersonalProfile" in the Target edit box.

One problem I have is naming the the two icons after I've created them. Sometimes for no apparent reason they stop working and I have to re-apply the target setting changes.

Any other, more reliable ways of achieving this?

Apologies if this has been discussed before here, but in Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit) the All Events option is missing for calendar searches, which means it is no longer possible to search past events, see screenshot.

Hopefully the All Events option will be reintroduced soon?

Thank you.

How to completely reset Thunderbird preferences except for configured accounts? I mean all visualization preferences, menus, themes, buttons, whatever. But don't touch e-mail accounts.

told by several people they had had suspicious messages purporting to come from me. Contacted Virgin Media, eventually got a new password, and was assured I would now get e mails as normal. This did not happen. Tried again, got a password for external apps, but still no success. No e mails are appearing even on the Virgin Media site. Any suggestions most welcome.

regards, Gilbert

I have changed email address and would like to have an auto reply sent to the sender to alert them to the fact that the email address has changed. I will still need to receive the intended email, but just a return email saying please be advised that our email address has changed to xxx@xxx.com, just for a month or so. Any help will be appreciated.

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

Running W10 on PC, no problems on other programs, on TB for at least 10 yrs. For past week TB has taken up to 15 seconds to delete or send some messages (not all). I thought this might be 3,500 messages in Sent folder so deleted oldest half of these. No difference, then I noticed that TB has deleted all my sent messages since May this year. Now it won't put my sent messages into the sent folder, they just disappear, and TB still delays on deleting or sending. Have tried repair button on inbox and sentbox, no difference. My wife remains on 115.14.0 without problems (so far!) I have just seen that v.128 has self-installed, could this be the problem?

I have Thunderbird version 45.8.0 on a 2009 iMac with OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63). The computer is so old that I can't upgrade it further.

I have a bunch of really sentimental emails that I need to get off that computer before it crashes for good and onto a safe external hard drive or two. I saved one to a local folder and copied it to the external HD, and that worked, but I want to save it as a document instead of an email. Is that possible? I guess that's not really a Thunderbird question now that I think about it, but I could use some suggestions if any of you have any ideas and a little time.

Thanks very much for your help.

Hy ! The version of TB y run is 128.1.0esr (32 bits) under Windows 10. I am a user since 2005. Under "disk space in "local folders", I have (translated) " never delete messages"

While seaching old messages, I just discovered that, although theses messages appear in the list of messages of local folders, there is a lot of theses local folders where, when I click on a message in the list, a window opens whith an empty content.

This does not occur the same way for all the folders : for example, in one of them, the messages dated 2005 do not open (they appear in an empty window), while messages dated 2006 and earlier open as usual. Other example, in another folder, containing messages dated 2008 to 2010, not any opens in another way than an empty window.

I have tried to ask my question in the mozilla forum the 15 th august, but no answer. That is why I try on this site. I have translated here the question I posted on the mozilla forum in French, my native langage, and I hope it will be understandable ...

==> Do you have an idea of why this happens and what I should do see again the content of these precious old messages ( my genealogy and others)

Best regards, GV, Cannes, France

The operating system: Windows 10. The content of messages in the inbox or in the sent folder disappears. Emails from a continuous period are disappearing, for example, now they have disappeared from 12th July at 9:45 to 22nd August at 12:13. The messages are visible on the list, but they have no content. They had content before. Moreover, when I deleted all the emails from such a folder, its file size on the disk did not decrease to 0. The problem started to appear the day before yesterday. It had never happened before. How can I fix this problem?

Hello!

I´m having some really weird issues opening mail with attachments. Sometimes they open normally and other times the mail body is just an endless stream of random characters and it slows down Thunderbird drastically.

These mails are in my local folder and saved from a Gmail account.
