Thunderbird Community Forum

I have been looking for a while but unable to see if this is possible or if there are any addons that can help

I use the tagging feature and have my tags shown at the top. However, I am prone to forgetting that email have been tagged as at a glance it is not really possible to tell if there are any tagged emails in the folder

Is there a way to set a "count" next to each tag so that I can tell if there is still emails requiring attention? If not, is this something that has been looked at?

When I click the button to “repair a folder”, some e-mails have disappeared.

The inbox file is too heavy and cannot be opened as a text file.

I moved the defaults file to an external HDD and saved it over the defaults file on my computer. I could not restore them.

Is there any other way to recover my email?

For some reason I'm now getting a bunch of system information showing in the header part of displayed emails and in forwarded emails. I've included two images, one that shows the information in an email that I received, and a second one that shows just part of the information when I try forwarding that email. I don't believe I've changed any Thunderbird settings nor do I recall any updates having been installed.

Any help greatly appreciated.

When I go to send an email or hit reply, the new page is full, and I mean FULL of gobbledegook. How do I get rid of it once and for all? It is a page of this: -- PK???���X�?}u?'?'?Index/Document.iwa?'̈́?hV???R?�N?????�?"? ? ?.??" ? ��/????"? ? ???????*$��f��f��fɨg��f��f��f��f��f��f��f��f???��f???��f"??��f2??��f:??��fz�? � "?en_US:??��fJ?en_USP?`x?�??�?�

When I start Thunderbird I get the error message: "Login to server imap-mail.outlook.com with username mousehold@hotmail.co.uk failed." I have searched the internet and found this Mozilla support page, which seems to describe my problem: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202

However, I am unable to complete the solution offered, as Thunderbird (version 128.1.0esr (32-bit)) does not have the 'OAuth2' as an Authentication option for the Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings, as described on the support page...?

Hello, after exporting the mail, the ZIP file weighs over 40 GB. How to restore all emails from this file to new mail? When extracting a 7zip file, various errors pop up with this archive

I just installed the newest Thunderbird client on my Windows 11 PC but I am unable to add any email accounts to it. My Gmail account hangs forever checking the password and my custom domain account hangs forever after it says Password OK. Both have messages like the following on the status bar at the bottom of the screen:

"Mail for user@host@emaildomain: Sending login information"

Nothing else happens. It just sits on this forever. If I Cancel, my email addresses are not added to Thunderbird.

I'm not sure what else I can do. Even trying to set the servers manually does not fix the issue.

I accidentally deleted a POP account and I lost every folder that I had on that account, how can I recover it?

I tried with some recovery programs but it didn't work

How do I send emails using outlook? I tried using the Oauth2 and also closing and relogging into the account. Nothing seems to work.

I can receive emails but cannot send. See attached images.

Thanks!

I cannot receive or send any emails. Server is not authenticating. This is a sudden fault. Thunderbird is updated to 128.0.1esr (64-bit). Opening Thunderbird shows message "Authentication failure while connecting to Thunderbird imap.gmail.com”.

What is the fix for this?

Hi This is not the first time I am getting this issue. I have among many email accounts from diverse providers 2 Outlook & 1 Hotmail email accounts. For some reason, in the last 2 weeks, Thunderbird stopped automatically logging in, although I have not changed log-in data for any of them. If I try to sign in the provided Thunderbird log in box, it rejects the log in. Even stranger, after running Thunderbird in the background in the last 2 hours, like today, SUDDENLY & without warning, I get alerts of new mail in the Hotmail account. This also happens for the Outlook accounts, which show new mail having come in yesterday and the other day, although as of now, unlike Hotmail, the other 2 have not subsequently logged in yet. I can log in via Firefox into those accounts, but Thunderbird will not, at least at the start of Thunderbird, but at a time later I have no control of? What is this strange behavior affecting only Hotmail & Outlook and how can it be permanently corrected?

Thank you in advance

Thunderbird 128.0.1 Nebula just updated. Now it freezes up when I try to open an account's Inbox. The main interface page shows messages in an account but when I go to the account and click on the inbox Thunderbird freezes up! I never had this problem with the previous version. I have multiple accounts with multiple services and it hangs/freezes on every single one. Sometims if I let it sit for several seconds, it will open. Other times I have to close Thunderbird and re-open it to check the inbox.

Is there any way possible to revert back to the previous version? This is horrible! I absolutely HATE it!

all of a sudden Thunderbird would not "Send" any email ... a box comes up wanting the password for the Outgoing Server but Thunderbird will not accept the password which is correct and has actually been used before when this same problem happened

Hello I donated yesterday, seems every time I make a donation something go array. Maybe a coincidence

Today I have 2 problems.

1. I can't see the text in any of my sent emails. The emails are there but the field for the text is blank. I tride restarting Thunderbird, I tried restarting my computer. Still Blank. Any thoughts on how to get them back.

2. In my inbox with random emails, not many, the text will change from what is readable to something that looks like HTML coding. Here is an example.

Have used Thunderbird for many years without problem but today: 1. Thunderbird asked to compact Inbox folder said OK 2. After Compacting appear to have lost all emails back to 24th Jan 2023 emails prior to that date are OK) 3. Emails which had arrived today are shown with subject and time but on opening they are blank except for message ----=_NextPart_000_00BC_01D6069F.D8AB25B0- 4. Messages which came in after compacting were OK and readable. 5. Following comments previously made tried inbox/properties/repair folder. 6. Following attempted repair messages that were readable at 4. above were now blank except for the message "Next part...." as in 3 above.

A. Can I recover my lost emails? B How do I prevent Thunderbird from corrupting new emails when it compacts folder?

Cheers
