Thunderbird Community Forum

A few weeks ago, I noticed that the contents of my inbox folder stopped displaying correctly. Initially, when I received new emails, they appeared normally in the inbox folder. However, after a few days, the contents of these messages started to disappear, leaving only blank emails. I have created subfolders within the main inbox folder, and those subfolders haven't been affected at all.

I tried repairing the inbox folder, but after doing so, the non-displayed messages completely disappeared from the inbox. I have two POP accounts (let's call them Account A and Account B), and only Account A's inbox folder has been affected.

I would greatly appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue. Thank you!

Hi,

I recently came across the Thunderbird versions are being mentioned as "esr".

In 115.0 version, I see "esr" is added from the 115.10.2esr to 115.14.0esr, the latest version. I also do not see any change in the installers provided. I would like to understand what is the difference between the previous versions and the versions with "esr"?

In 128.0 version, I can see only 128.0.1esr and 128.1.0esr. Is there no normal updates? Now only esr is supproted?

I had version 115.0 installed but I was able to upgrade to 128.1.0esr without any issue. Is this supported?

Regards, Asif

I use RCN as my ISP. There is an email address I have been sending to successfully for years, but recently all my emails to it are rejected. The error message I get is

550 DKIM Sender Invalid - envelope rejected - https://community.mimecast.com/docs/DOC-1369#550 [fCBPAkhbPf-Iq3bdFn4emA.us643]

Can you help me get this fixed?

Thanks, Jim M

The folders and address lists exist in .thunderbird/5sdfwbvt.default /Mail/Local Folders

and in  .thunderbird/5sdfwbvt.default/storage/abook/mab  and abook/sqlite

How can I get thunderbird to access these resources??

I'm installing Thunderbird on a new computer, now with Windows 11. I had exported my entire email set from the old computer. When importing on the new computer it pulled in all my old folders and the emails in them -- except for my inbox. A few emails were pulled in but another 800 were not. What can I do to import them?

I am baffled. Why isn't Thunderbird an option in the Windows 11 context menu, "send to"? Said another way, when I click "share" Thunderbird is not an option. Can it be fixed? If so, how? I am surprised there I found nothing in my Google searches. Your help will be greatly appreciated. John

I am in the process of moving hosting and email from an Outlook-based host to a new domain host. The existing email accounts will be re-created on the new host. I cannot back or export the emails from the current domain host so have added them to my existing Thunderbird install, plan on exporting or backing them up from there then exporting / importing them to the new host.

From Thunderbird, I ran File -> Offline -> Download/Sync and selected just the email accounts (and folders) I need to transfer then ran the tool. Now I am not sure where those emails are saved. From the default profile folder I See multiple sub-folders blocklists, crashes, extensions, imapmail etc - 31 in all. Which files should I be looking for to export ONLY the 2 email accounts of interest and not ALL the email accounts I have in Thunderbird?

Cheers Mike

Hi, When receiving an email I want to reply by making a text comments in the received text, with clear identification of what is my new addition. E.g. by starting my lines with my initials and a new colour of my comments. I.e. An in-text-dialogue Is this possible to configure in Thunderbird? Br / Gunnar Sjolander

Hi!

With the new release Support for TBsync was removed or has changed and isn't working.

And we really enjoyed the convince of TBsync with Cal- and CardDAV.

As we are having our own small Mailserver we already have experience with the Autoconfig XML File.

And here comes the real Question:

Do you have something similar like Autoconfig but just for the Cal- CardDAV stuff? If not and not even planed please fix TBsync. In case you have something - even if you consider it "Beta" - give it to me, I try any way :).

After an update to Thunderbird around 8/10/24, I can still list future calendar events, but no longer past events. It is very useful for me to list past events. For example, I can quickly find out when I last had a flu shot. Could you restore this ability to print a complete list of past events, as well as future events? Thanks! Carl Lund

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird#searchl Please tell me how I may change my emails now going to AOL.com, back to my Thunderbird account pata.798@Verizon.net? emails?

I've been looking for a solution to an annoying problem for a while now but I can't figure it out. When I reply to an email from Thunderbird the quoted text should be hidden in the recipient's client but instead it appears as a normal text making my emails too long and annoying for the recipient. Is there a way to get around this problem?

Hi! I´ve already informed my hosting service about this issue and it seems like the problem is Thunderbird instead. I tried to use the information given on your website, but nothing happened. I´ve had to log in and change the password multiple times now for emails to work, but after a few days I stop getting emails again. I don´t use Thunderbird for this email, so let me know if you need more specific information etc.

Hello, I would like to backup my whole Thunderbird profile every day (or at least every week) automatic, and I didn't find any workful solution for it. The problem is, that I have only POP3 protocol and Inbox file brakes, if there is any new message while copying. Unfortunately, I can't move my mail to IMAP, it's not a variant. Automatic closing Thunderbird (like in crontab killing process) before backup is not a variant either, because it's not safe. Manual closing Thunderbird would solve my problem, but, as I said, I need to do it automatic). For example, If I am absent for a few weeks, backup should continue working fine. If anyone have already found working solution for it?

P.S. ImportExportTools NG "Automatic backup" is not automatic, you need to close Thunderbird manually every day for this to work.

This is essentially the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1430726 . I am running 128.1.0esr, and the problem surfaced recently. I installed 128.0.1esr (replacing 115.13.0) on July 31. and the problem might have been re-introduced there. I have not researched the version numbers, so I do not know why I went from 115.13.0 to 118.0.1esr.

Here is the problem. I want to see all of the mails with a certain string in the sender field. After I have typed the first character in the filter field, Thunderbird goes into a "Not Responding" state, and I see a spinning blue circle. After I have entered the entire string, it takes a while before TB becomes responsive. When TB becomes responsive, I can delete all of the selected messages (in less than a second). But when I then remove or change the string, TB takes a lot of time before becoming responsive again. Wayne Mery posted at the end of that other archived thread "115.9.0 has a patch related to quick filters which may help." Has that patch somehow been regressed? Thanks.
