There are many answers to the question of how to disable message threading. All are from earlier versions than mine, which is 115.7.0 -- as witnessed: Sorry! 0 results found for ‘disable threading in version 115.7.0’ for ‘Thunderbird'

Thunderbird seems to have so many minor changes and alterations in the recent past, that basic usability is affected. Not a good thing.

Once before, a few years ago, Thunderbird got so out of control that I had to go to a different mail client. Are we back to that?

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,

I followed a prompt to compact the data in my Thunderbird email folders. After I did so, I found that the content of all the emails I sent after 4-16-22 was missing. The list of the sent emails was still there but the message box was blank for all those emails. I know who an email was sent to but not what was in the email. This was on my laptop. Surprisingly, these emails did not disappear from Thunderbird on my desktop computer. How can I recapture the sent emails in my laptop?

I have 10 email accounts in my Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit) and I am using Microsoft Windows 10 Pro and all my sent, draft, archives and templates are going into a different folder. I want them to go into the folder from which the email was sent but they are all going into the email tinakeeling@att.net.

I have changed it to reflect the correct folder but then a few days later and every time I restart Thunderbird the program changes the folders back to tinakeeling@att.net

I have even unchecked the box "place a copy in" and when Thunderbird is restarted it reverts back.

What can I do to fix this issue?

Hello, I'm new to this Thunderbird I'm using a desktop computer with Win 10 and Office 2016. I have been having issues with outlook 2016, it keep asking for my credentials and I can't seem to be able to find any solutions so a friend recommended Thunderbird to me. I'm trying it and so far my emails are synchronized but not my calendar nor my address book. I cant seem to find where Thunderbird can sync with those two. I do not want to import into the app but sync like my iPhone is doing so if I enter an event in any of them it will show up in the other one. Pretty simple but I can not find this in the Thunderbird desktop app.

please help Kind regards Richard

my husband has been using mozilla thunderbird for a long time. it is easier for him than anyother. today he can't even get it to open up properly. Any help would be great

Microsoft sent me this: Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods.

Will Thunderbird continue to link me to Outlook? If so, how?

Thank you.

I came to Thunderbird because I have been using an email server - btinternet - for many years and it has become clogged with a backlog of emails many of which were not opened and remain so. I would like to retain my email address, John.romm@btinternet.com, it is a vitally important one for my work. But I would ike to use and manage it Thunderbird which is already working well for me. However, it is important to do both of two things. First, I need to bulk delete all unopened emails - some 160,000 of them. And second, I would like to construct filters to keep a wide range of incoming emails out of my inbox. Please help!

Whenever I am sending mail, i am getting below error. Please help me in resolving this.

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail.

How can I change the subject prefix (Re:, Fwd:, etc.) ? I would prefer "RE:" to "Re:" for my outgoing mails. "mailnews.localizedRe" handles recognition of incoming subject prefixes, but I found no pref for my outgoing mails. Thank you!

Does "mailnews.localizedRe" still work? If yes, how?

The (preinstalled) default value is "AW,Aw,aw". But when I reply to a message whose subject line begins with "AW:", Thunderbird prepends it with "Re:", so that after a few back and forths we have silly subjects like "Re: AW: Re: AW: Re: AW: .............. ".

Has "mailnews.localizedRe" stopped working? Or how can I get it to work? Thank you!

Please ask any questions. I sent an email by mistake earlier. I also want to delete the email on the receiving side. very sorry. Thank you for your reply.

I recently created a new profile, changing from POP3 to IMAP in order to meet the new Microsoft security requirements. All went well until I went to change my address book backup copy routine to access my address book in the new profile.. I cannot find any .MAB nor .SQLITE files anywhere! My address book is out there somewhere, as I can bring it up in Thunderbird, but I cannot find the actual file. What's going on?
