Thunderbird Support Forum

I've been using Thunderbird for many years with no issues. I opened it today on my laptop and all my accounts, settings, emails, calendar items, etc. are gone. It's asking me to set up an account. I have years worth of saved emails from 4 different accounts and they are all gone. How can I get them back. I am using Windows 10.

I was getting warnings from my e-mail server that I was near the mailbox size limit, and Thunderbird displayed a percentage bar in the lower right corner. I've deleted a lot of large messages and want to see how far I am from the limit now, but now the bar isn't displayed. Is there a way to refresh this? Or is it a warning that's only pushed from the server?

(Unfortunately, my webmail site doesn't compute the size correctly and shows me at over 400%, so I can't see the actual size there until the server sends me another warning.)

I have an address in my address book that I received many emails from. About a month ago they started going to the bulk folder. How do i get that address restored so i can receive emails from them?

Followed the instructions in the article and cannot send email (SMTP error) "Login to server smtp.office365.com with username xxxxx#outlookcom failed"

Tried a new profile - no change Followed directions for using config editor and deleting two items - no change Could go back to original settings (turn off OATH2) but have to get it working by Sept so might as well slay the beast now.

My son has a Hotmail account that he accesses (of course) in Thunderbird. Yesterday he received an email from Microsoft that seems to suggest that he will not be able to use Thunderbird to access this account after 9/16/24. Is this true?

I am running a Mac Mini M1, on the latest OS, after upgrading my TB I have just had 2 force quit because of TB. As you will see it is using over 40 GB of memory, normally between 500 - 600 MB

Hi,

I used to compose my mails in the Montserrat font because my website is also in that font. Now I notice that the font is no longer available in Thunderbird.

Is there any possibility to import a font in Thunderbird?

Kind regards,

Olivier

When I receive junk email, Thunderbird shows mail received (for example 10 emails) there are ...again for example 3 in my inbox and the other 7 are nowhere to be found. Not in junk and not in trash. I am concerned that there might be some emails that are not junk that I am not able to get. I would like to be able to review the junk folder prior to deletion. What setting options do I need to change to make this happen? I am using pop email... Thanks!!

Could I recover my message on thunderbird when I ever Setting : 1. Local Folder 2. Disk Space 3. Delete Message for 14 Days

I choose wrong setting, and my all of my message last 1 years have been gone Could i get my messages back? and where I can found the back up?

"Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the fle system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

After years of working fine, this message has started appearing whenever TB tries to retrieve messages. I've checked that there's enough space (there's many GB free). I've checked the authorisations of the email folders, they're all fine (Full Control in all cases). I found an answer in a forum suggesting that a rogue antivirus might be the problem, but I'm only using MS Defender.

In desperation I removed the entire Roaming/Thunderbird folder, uninstalled TB, reinstalled it (version 115.12.2), created a new profile for my email address (it's a Yahoo email address, and I can retrieve the emails directly through the Yahoo Mail website with no problems). But I'm still getting the same error message. TB tries to retrieve the messages, it says 'Retrieving message 1 of 105' for several minutes, then the error message popup, and nothing appears in the Inbox. (105 is all the incoming messages as of now since this started happening).

I'm completely stuck. Any suggestions?

I keep getting the attached error msg when trying to send an email. I've changed it to "Normal Password" as advised, but it's still the same. Any help would be appreciated. Regards norman

Thunderbird 115.12.0 inline image encoding does not work and neither Thunderbird nor any other email client can decode the images. I would not be concerned if the images were instead sent as attachments -- anything would be better than the situation right now. Here is what a the sent message looks like (truncated):

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

Recently switched from Outlook to Thunderbird, however still have Outlook to make sure Thunderbird is working the way I want to.

However any emails that I am sending - whilst appearing in my Sent folder in Outlook, aren't in the same folder in Thunderbird. Strange thing is however, if I use the search bar, it DOES find the email, and says it is in my sent folder.

I've tried sorting by name, by date, by anything I can think of, but I can't find these emails in the sent folder.

The only thing I can think of, is that the emails have not been delivered - even though sent - because when testing it out with a separate email address that I have, the emails appear fine.

Any ideas anybody?

I would like to remove the newly added listing "Local FOlders" from the Folder Tree and restore the Local Folders listing that was moved to the bottom (below All Folders) to its proper place, namely Above Local Folders. This group displays Sent Copies which I use frequently. The newly added 2nd display called "Local Folders" does not disply "Sent Copies" when I click on it in the folder tree. Thunderbirfd decided to move my original "Sent Folders" display to the bottom of the tree when updating to the latest version last night (early morning hours of 6/26/24). I run thunderbird in Windows 10 Desktop on Lenovo w530 using wired internet connection.
