Thunderbird コミュニティフォーラム

Dear Support,

After setting up a new laptop, I have tried to use Thunderbird to download the entire contents of my GMail inbox. When I'm logged into GMail via my Firefox browser, I can see 62,635 messages dating all the way back to July 2008. I installed Thunderbird and created a profile to access my GMail inbox via POP3. Then I set Thunderbird to download new messages. After a few hours, Thunderbird has downloaded 23,485 messages dating back to December 23, 2022. How do I get Thunderbird to retrieve the remaining roughly 40,000 messages all the way back to the first message from August 15, 2008? Can Thunderbird also retrieve messages from GMails Spam folder and drafts folder?

Best regards from Denmark,

Eric

Please provide a column that shows the real address / domain of incoming emails.

Many emails now pretend to come from a safe legitimate company, but you cannot easily spot them in Thunderbird. Thunderbird's Correspondents column shows the fake company name they are using, which is not helpful. The From column shows the same information (the fake name, but not the email address), so that doesn't help.

So I cannot tell the scam emails without clicking on the email and looking at it, which is dangerous.

Solution options:

1. Change the From column to report full address 2. Allow user to define what to show in From column (Name / Full email / Domain / Combination) 3. New columns "Sender Email Address" and "Sending Domain" 4. Add smarts to Thunderbird to highlight/block/move messages where sender is from visibly false address.

I hope you can jump onto this quickly. It would be a massively helpful popular feature.

Thank you. Derek

Hi, I am using Thunderbird version 115.13.0 (64 bit) on a Windows 10 PC with the only add-on being “Send Later”. Yesterday Thunderbird was working fine when I closed down my PC. Having just started my PC today I am finding that no emails in any of my folders are showing in Thunderbird. Weirdly the emails do temporarily “flicker” on in the folder but rapidly disappear. Any thoughts on how I rectify this? Hoping someone can help, Wayne

I have installed Thunderbird and want to set up an email account' . I enter: Name : Roger Keelingling@f2s.com pw : ******** (I have checked this visually and tried many times - must have got it right once)

I get the message "Thunderbird failed to find the setting for your email account"

According to f2s the settings should be as attached. I have tried manual setup with many options but nothing connects properly (or at all). On some attempts I get a message "The certificate for inmail.f2s.com is not valid for this server" (flashes up too quickly to read accurately). Any suggestions on account setup?

My Thunderbird profile is on a separate drive.

I had to reformat my computer. No problem with managing profile and all emails and folders, etc are ok. However, my calendar is blank!

Is the calendar not stored in your profile? Have I really lost all my dates and appointments?

I have three accounts in Thunderbird. On one account Thunderbird freezes when I try to delete any mail in the inbox. I have removed all mails in the inbox and put one mail back (have tried several different emails)to test and it still freezes. This problem occurs when deleting from any folder in this account. Deleting mail in the other accounts works ok.

Small padlock symbol has appeared on envelope icon and I cannot send or receive emails, can still access email service provider through internet and my mobile phone.

Hi, somehow about 10 subfolders have become invisible and I can't see them. This is a shared email account so other colleagues have access to it and they can view the folders just fine. I'm using Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit) on my PC and they all use Mail on Macs. I am including two screenshots, one is from my Thunderbird account where the file only shows 3 subfolders. The other screenshot colleagues’ Mail account shows about 13 subfolders which is correct. I have rebooted my machine and Thunderbird several times with no luck. Any solutions please?

OK, this is really complicated, and involves trying to rescue an old Eudora account to Thunderbird. If anyone wants the whole gory story, please ask and I'll tell all. ( I used Eudora Mailbox Cleaner and Eudora Rescue.) But the simple question is: is it possible to import a Thunderbird profile created on a Mac into a Thunderbird program on a PC? Thanks for any help.

Hi!

I couldn't find any decent TB or TB Forums Articels about this.

Instead best instructions seems to be here:

https://kb.uconn.edu/space/IKB/26063831538/Configure+Thunderbird+client+to+use+OAuth+for+IMAP%2F+POP

Especially at the end were it say's:

"Click “Done,” a Microsoft log in window should pop up"

That info is totally mssing in those TB Articels I've found.

And with the help from that page I managed to add one of my MS Account to TB (as IMAP), BUT not as a POP3 account that it has always been set as.

And if I try to add an MS Account as POP3 WITH OAuth2 in TB, this "Microsoft log in window should pop up" never shows at all! And then the account ain't working = TB can't poll for mail.

And I can't find out how to Convert/Change an existing IMAP/OAuth2 MS account to be a POP3/OAuth2 account ?! Is that at all possible?

(And why doesn't TB have a PopUp Windows (as in old Outlook Express and Win Live Mail) for when it polls for mail, so one can see what happens with every account, and then clearly read in that windows IF there were something wrong at any specific account. The TB "Activity Manager" doesn't show these thing, but it should!)

(Also TB should check for new mail in ALL Folders, as in SPAM (GMail), in JUNK (MS), and in TRASH, it could be a Setting for each account (or General) to make TB do that.)

/Thanx!

I printed an email from Thunderbird before responding to it. When I went to reply, it had disappeared from the Inbox. After some hunting I found it in the All Mail folder, but it refused to be moved or copied to the Inbox. Even when I forwarded it to myself it did not appear in the Inbox. The message was still present on the Gmail server but Thunderbird would not download it via Imap. Have I missed a setting or does Thunderbird consider an email to be deleted once it is printed?

Hey guys, the client I work for provided my with MS account to be used for communication. Since I am on Linux, these two things doesn't really bond well :) I was using mostly web access for MS Teams and Outlook OWA ...

However, I figured that I would love to try Thunderbird for at least emails (so I got them all my email at one place)...

After some discussion with client's ITHD (after they changed my license to E3 type) I managed to get the email working - so I can send and receive emails ... However, I cannot see the calendar so it's still almost useless for me for I don't see meeting request.

Any idea how to fix that? did any of you guys face the same?

While sending messages to multiple recipients not listed in an address list, I do miss this feature - ie one that upon a click shows the number of recipients. You know, If we know our daily sending allowance courtesy of the provider, then such a feature would allow us to work more efficiently.

In trying to fix settings I have created 2 new account + the original, all with the same name. The system continually tries unsuccessfully then blocks me for too many attempts. 1. how do I delete the two new accounts, one IMAP and one Pop, without deleting the original much used account? 2. How do I change the settings on the old account so it connects through the messaging.co now iinet no longer runs it? It should be IMAP not pop. My attempts so far have just created new accounts and more problems.

and I immediately began scrambling to get it back. I found this somewhere: "Don't Delete Files" is the preferred option because it saves the old profile's folder and allows you to recover the files to a new profile. So that gave me hope because that's what I had clicked (unfortunately, it was right before I saw the cancel button over on the right). That's what I get for being in a hurry I guess.

Anyhow, after 4 days of reading support forums and tons of trial and error, I'm no closer to restoring that profile than when I first started (although I've learned a lot about what does NOT work).

Btw, both my profiles have always been set up as POP3 at Gmail, although if I ever get this current problem sorted out I'll be shopping for a different POP3 provider. But that's another story.

I know how to create a new profile with Profile Manager. And I found the Profiles folders under both Thunderbird folder as well as ThunderbirdOLD folder. Have I been on the right track so far?

In the Thunderbird/Profiles folder, I don't see a folder with the deleted profile name (except the new ones (duds) I've since created ). On the other hand, I don't see the name of the profile that I did NOT delete either, but somehow it seems to be working just fine. Maybe it's the ".default" folder or ".default-release" folder? I've only ever had two profiles and I may have created the non-deleted profile first, so did that one end up being named .default? -shrug- I have no clue.

Anyhow, in the ThunderbirdOLD/Profiles folder, I also see ".default" as well as ".default-release" folders too. But in addition, I'm seeing a ".deletedprofile" named folder. So that's where I originally thought my several dozen email folders with several thousand emails and Address Book etc are hiding. But I've copied all the above mentioned folders into the several new Profiles I've created, on a trial and error basis but so far..... no luck. All I get when I open one is the new set up screen to set up a new pop3 account.... which I can do, but that's just starting from scratch without any of my saved data. I'm running out of ideas.

Where am I going wrong?

Every-time I open up Thunderbird E-mail, I get a pop-up box that says: log-in to account failed (see attached picture) A little information about my situation; I have used Thunderbird E-mail Program for years with my Hotmail Account, without any issues! I have also used "AVG Virus Protection" and I have Windows 10 Pro. My problem is every-time I open up Thunderbird E-mail, I get a pop-up box that says: log-in to account failed (see attached picture) This problem started long before I installed your latest "Thunderbird Version 128.0.1esr (64-bit)" to try and solve this problem, it doesn't matter what I click on, on that pop-up, it keeps reappearing and I can't get my e-mails! However.......I can log into my Hotmail account using "Firefox Browser" and I can get my e-mails, but I don't like their ads, where as with Thunderbird there are no ads! :-) How do I get your program to work again? I assume something changed, to make it not work, but I don't now what that would have been, do you? I have switched the Password settings to something I read here, in your help section, it did not work. (See picture of my server settings). NiceSeeingYou aka Keith

I no longer receive emails from a company I do business with. I previously received all of their emails but none in the past several months. They have not made any changes so it must be a Thunderbird issue. I was told to check my spam/junk folder but I can't find in Thunderbird. Can you help?

Thanks, Danny Monts

I did a search for disappearing email and saw many instances of this and although I read through the solutions, I don't know if any apply to me so I am asking about it.

I received a payment on 7/6 from a client. It was a Zelle payment notification from my bank.

Yesterday the same client sent the same payment. When I downloaded the mails from over night, I saw the new payment notification. However I wanted to move the email from the Inbox to a Sales folder just as I had done 20 days ago with the previous payment.

I then opened the Sales folder and the mail wasn't there. I did a whole system search by the sender and the subject and all it found was the 7/6 mail. The 7/26 mail is gone, as if it was a hallucination.

Since I knew I got the mail, and so I know I got paid, but it bothers me that other mails are being lost as well.

I am running Windows 10 and my Tbird shows "up to date". I am running Malwarebytes which allowed the first message through as it did this time. I can't fathom how a mail can disappear just moving it from one folder to another.

Help please!
