Thunderbird Community Forum

I recently went away for a few days and shut down my pc. On my return I have had to recreate a new account through Thunderbird. Having done that I now find that I have lost all my local folders in my email. These are folders containing a history of emails received that I've needed to retain. I would like to get these back but don't know how to and cannot see any way of doing so.

I wish to change my email address on thunderbird account, i have been getting a lot of scam emails from unknown sources and will be cancelling [edited] @tpg.com.au email and changing to [edited] @gmx.com and wish to change email address and keep contacts.

Hi everyone,

 I've been experiencing weird troubles with some messages. When I click a message in the list to open it, sometimes the message opened shows parts of other unrelated messages, including incomplete content, lines of base64 encoded strings,  boundary lines, partial html code, you name it. Looks like sometimes the program just mixes valid headers with parts of other random messages, starting on random lines. Sometimes the message content shows only the final line of the code of another unrelated message (the boundary end). 

 I'm attaching two captures to illustrate the issue. Only one folder is affected (well, unluckily for me, is the INBOX...), so I guess that file is the one broken.

 I've tried the "repair" option on the affected folder, to no avail. Sometimes looks like the problem is gone, but then another message that was ok before shows up broken. 

 Thunderbird version is 128.1.0esr (64bits), running on Windows 11 Professional (23H2). Profile size is 30 GB, INBOX database file is 16.757.000 KB by now, with 17.445 messages. I'm using IMAP as server, and no message is broken on the server (I've checked them on the webmail service). The machine is using a SSD, NVMe kingston RBUSNS8 239GB, if you want to know... It's ok AFAIK.
 
 If you need any other information regarding this, please ask and I will gladly provide it. As you may imagine, this issue is driving me mad! 
   
 Thank you for any kind of help you can provide to fix this weird issue.

All my Thunderbird incoming emails from June 2019 -last week disappeared. My sent email is still there. I read that it is a not uncommon problem but I cannot understand all the Help Articles. I am 70 years old and can use a computer but do not understand how it works. Our IT consultant retired suddenly and I am urgently looking for a new one. I am in San Francisco.

I called Support at Sonic, They checked and updated my settings but they were not able to restore the incoming email.

Thanks for your attention.

the email when we log in we found that all the old email are lost, ho to recover all the email cause we have same important email.

Thank you for your advice.

Thank you regards Alice

Thunderbird Portable v115.9.0 may be the last working version that allowed multiple sessions and versions to run at the same time. I tested it and it worked.

Thunderbird Email v115.11.0 is definitely broke for Multi-Instance Sessions. I tested it and it does not work.

So perhaps somewhere between v115.10.0 and v115.10.2 Multi-Instance functionality was broken on the portable version of the Thunderbird Email App.

I quite literally feel like an IDIOT!!! All I want to do is send a [BCC:] Email to a Group I created in my Thunderbird Address Book, and I can't figure it out! And a Google search was ZERO HELP! WHAT AM I MISSING!!!??? HELP!!! I am using Version 1.128.1esr

My windows 10 laptop updates thunderbird versions automatically. From 115 it went to 128.1.1esr (64-bit). Suddenly, I cannot do any searches. After entering the first letter, a search appears to start that blocks all activity for about 5 minutes! And I don't know how to stop that search. There must be a bug. Can you please help to fix it? Another laptop that is still on 115 version works fine. So how do I downgrade to 115 and stay there?

Ho trovato il thread con la mia domanda precedente: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1460637?utm_campaign=questions-reply&utm_source=notification&utm_medium=email#answer-1670988 chiuso e allora sono costretto ad aprirne un altro. Sinceramente il problema a me da molto fastidio, non so come possa essere tollerato, adesso poi vien fuori che il problema sono io! Ma il problema c'è, ho trovato che era già stato segnalato qui: https://support.mozilla.org/it/questions/1365643 in pratica è lo stesso. Ho anche fatto un po' di prove cambiando le Impostazioni > Composizione, e verificato che non sono molto influenti sul risultato (sia per chi scrive, che per chi riceve, se entrambi hanno Thunderbird con gli stessi setting si riceve più grande). Infatti per notare una differenza e avere una dimensione accettabile, bisogna settare Stile HTML "Molto grande", altrimenti il carattere viene molto piccolo.

I have Thunderbird working extremely well at one location. I am now in a different location on a different desktop running Windows 11. I downloaded Thuderbird, but I cannot find a sign-in or logon panel anywhere. How do I sign in to my existing account ??

As has been asked all over the web. I can move emails from GMail to a local folder but all it does it remove the Inbox label in Gmail and the message stays in All Mail.

Why doesn't it copy that message to the local folder and then move it to Bin/Trash?

using the 'quick filter' feature of mozilla thunderbird version 128.1.1esr (64-bit) i was able to locate the message i was searching for in the top section (message list headers pane) but when i selected the correct message header, the contents that were displayed were from a different unrelated message.

in researching this issue i discovered that the message content for three separate messages now are displaying with the content from the same incorrect message. (the incorrect message content is a photo from an escape room, the three other messages should all be mostly text)

i assume there is a fix like rebuilding the index or something but this should not have happened in the first place so i'd like to report this as a bug.

pls let me know if i can provide any further information to help track this down if you want. happy Monday - NN

I deleted a work account (hosted on google) and I keep getting pop-ups from Oauth to authenticate it. Looking at the troubleshooting information while it is not in the mail and news accounts list it does show up as an account.

Also, looking at the profile directories I seem to also see possible accounts that were deleted a long time ago but still straggling around.

How can I resolve this?

Thanks leon
