I've been a Thunderbird user for years. I have no idea what they changed recently, but it's incredibly, incredibly SLOW, almost to the point of unusability. Even something as simple as deleting emails.

I usually do these in chunks -- select multiples and delete. We're not talking about hundreds of emails at at time here, just maybe 5-15. Select them all, hit delete, and it should take just a couple of seconds to delete the messages. It did, in the past. But lately, it's taking so long that I could leave and make a sandwich, and when I come back, maybe it will be done. Maybe it will still be working, though, or maybe it will have locked up because it was taking so long.

It's pretty difficult to get work done at this rate.

I get this annoying error message daily (sometime, 4 or 5 times a day). I have about 50+ email accounts on Thunderbird. So, I basically will need to spend about an hour or longer to fix a problem that I already had fixed yesterday.

It says..."login to account xyz failed" and I need to enter the correct password. I complied at the beginning (I have entered the CORRECT password day-after-day).

Does anyone know...how to FIX this problem permanently?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I noticed a few days ago that my sent mail is missing its content. The details of each email was still in the sent folder, but when I click to open the email there is zero content. I read in a related forum article to "repair" the sent folder and now all of my emails I sent since July of 2023 are gone!

Needless to say this is a major problem as I run a small business and refer back to sent mail occasionally.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Tom

I'm using Thunderbird (Nebula) 128.1.0esr (64-bit). I was composing a message earlier, in response to an email I received earlier. The message had a PDF attached, I saved it. After sending my response, I went back and noted the original message had disappeared. It's not in Trash, it just went away and I can't explain this. So I went to All Mail and (thankfully) found it. I dragged it to the Inbox where it should be.

I was in another window composing a message, so I can't imagine what would have resulted in this. Maybe I fat-fingered something (wouldn't be the first time!) but I don't believe I did. I wanted to ask here and see if there were any issues that may have caused this.

Thanks.

Dear support, I have set up a Nextcloud with a calendar that is already synchronizing via DAVx5 to my mobile phone via a dyn-dns-domain. Also the DAV connection to Thunderbird works if I use my LAN IP to contact the (local) nextcloud server.

However, if I want to use the dyn-dns-domain (that works with DAVx5 on my mobile phone), I get error 401. Via e.g. Firefox I can log on to the nextcloud via the dyn-dns-domain as well without issues. Nextcloud is set up as part of a docker service behind a SWAG reverse proxy (that is bypassed when using the LAN IP approach as that goes directly to the Nextcloud docker container), but as the configuration works with the DAVx5 on my mobile phone, I am not sure how Thunderbird would try to get access any different. Is there a way in Thunderbird to see details on the exchange to the server to see where the issue comes from? That might at least provide some more information what could be the difference between DAVx5 and Thunderbird. Thanks for any hint on how I can identify the problem.
