Thunderbird Support Forum

I have accounts for my husband, sister and daughter as well as myself. Lately when I try to access my emails I keep getting messages to enter the passwords for these accounts. I have never had to do this before. I don't have passwords for them and don't even really know how to do this.

Also my emails are very slow. I was waiting for a link to a podcast and the email with the code took a little over five hours after the podcast before I received it. This has never happened before.

Help. Gail

i get a pop up when a new email come in on my main monitor. i have many. sometimes i would like to just delete it there rather than open up the inbox to delete once it arrives in my in box. a delete trash can icon would be nice to have on that pop up

I have installed Thunderbird in an attempt to escape from BT's email setup. Unfortunately, the Thunderbird I seem to have I am finding very difficult to use. Things like what to view, and how to arrange the various elements to view. Also, I seem to have a long list of messages in the inbox etc which takes a very long to time to load. I'm just wondering whether to uninstall it, and try again. Advice on setting it up would be welcomed. But please note I am not very computer-literate so, if it is a product intended for experienced users, should I try a 'Plan B'...?

I've been happily using Thunderbird for a long time and now have version 115.12.2 (64-bit) on my MacBook Pro. It's old (10.14.6) but it's all I need. Until yesterday, TB worked fine. Suddenly, business emails stopped saving to my "Sent" Folder. I deleted a number of old emails and compacted the folder but that has not helped. I don't have the problem with other TB accounts. I checked the account settings:

               Place a copy in "Sent" Folder on (my account) – as it always was.

I also checked "Show confirmation dialog when messages are saved". Despite seeing that, the message is NOT saved.

Are my sent mails from the last 24 hours saved anywhere? If so, how can I retrieve them?. How can I make sure they are saved in my "Sent" folder? Thanks so much!
