I have switched to a new internet provider and have set up new Thunderbird POP accounts with the new provider. I have not yet canceled the old internet provider; both are currently active. The attached screen shot shows four accounts. The first two are for the older provider and the second two are for the new provider. All four accounts are POP.

Q1: Are the local folders that you see associated only with the old provider?

Q2: If I delete the old accounts, will all the emails disappear from the local folders?

Q3: If yes, how do I create a new set of local folders associated with the new accounts? I don't see an option to recreate "Local Folders."

Thanks for your help!

I accidentally deleted an email account through Tools- Account Settings - Account Actions - Remove Account.

Is it possible to restore this account and its associated sub-folders.

I have installed Thunderbird on a separate PC and restored my latest backup, which unfortunately is 4 months old, meaning that I am missing 4 months worth of emails.

Might it be possible to link to files/folders containing my messages prior to the removal, perhaps by recreating the email account or might there be some other method in which I could achieve this.

Any thoughts you might have would be VERY welcome.

Kind regards - Deirdre

PS. We are using Thunderbird Version 128.0.1esr Build: 20240717233102

Dear Thunderbird Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance with an issue I am encountering in Thunderbird. Specifically, I am not receiving invitation links sent to my email address from Groove. Despite checking my spam/junk folder and ensuring that my email address is correct, the invitation does not appear in my inbox.

Could you please help me understand why this might be happening and provide any suggestions to resolve this issue?

Thank you for your support.

Best regards, Francesca

I have check my server details and all are correct, the same with the recipient email address. I have contacted my host and they have got me to try webmail which is all working fine. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

The email program my ISP uses is Zimbra.

I want to copy the various email folders with its email messages that were set up previously to Thunderbird.

How do I do this? The ISP advises they are not familiar with Thunderbird and cannot help.

Good morning, On 20/07 I noticed that Thunderbird duplicated all the defects. The option to remove duplicates does not work - no duplicates found. How can I fix this?

There are many answers to the question of how to disable message threading. All are from earlier versions than mine, which is 115.7.0 -- as witnessed: Sorry! 0 results found for ‘disable threading in version 115.7.0’ for ‘Thunderbird'

Thunderbird seems to have so many minor changes and alterations in the recent past, that basic usability is affected. Not a good thing.

Once before, a few years ago, Thunderbird got so out of control that I had to go to a different mail client. Are we back to that?

It should be very simple and no add on needed.

For some reason, all of a sudden, in the correspondence column it ALSO shows the email address.

All I want is for that to be removed. That's all.

By "full feature" I mean the SEARCH that presents a dialog allow one to specify the fields to be searched, sucn as Subject, From To, cc, bcc. It allows for multiple conditions to be specified and whether ALL have to match or only ONE of them. I've used it many times, but I've forgotten how to open it.

Thanks for your help, SweetTasha

Cox, bless their actions, decided to eliminate email service. They arranged to have all cox.net emails serviced by Yahoo. I prefer getting my email from Thunderbird. When cox no longer serviced my emails, Thunderbird stopped filling my inbox, i.e., After the tranfer to Yahoo, there were no further emails coming into my Thunderbird email listings. How can this be resolved?

My email address is [edited] @roadrunner.com Since early May, I haven't been able to get emails because I keep getting asked for a master password. I don't know it - I don't remember ever having to create one. Please help.

Today, July 31,2024... Told by Spectrum that third party Thunderbird is no not supported on their servers

* My email 'In box' is frozen and the Login box persistently fails for xxxxxxx@roadrunner.com on mail.twc.com 

• My take away is that the only way I can retain my address is to attach it to a web mail account such as https://webmail.spectrum.net/mail or google mail.

Is there any way to keep Thunderbird separate and retain my current email address?

I get this strange message when I try to send an email that says ongoing server - smtp. authentication method in account settings, outgoing server SMPT.

I have Outlook in two other computers and Outlook works fine? Thank you, Jim

Hello,

My name is Jasper. I've downloaded Thunderbird and linked my gmail account to it and I'm at the point where I'm ready to delete emails from my gmail account. However, I weary that I've done something wrong, not followed the instructions properly and when I proceed with deleting my emails I may lose them permanently. Is there some way someone can review my account and check that everything is in order?

Regards, Jasper

Hello, I have recieve a message from Microsoft requesting a change in authentication method to access the Thunderbird e-mail box. I can makert the change for the Server settings from "normal password" to "OAuth2". Howver when I try to do the same change for the Outgoing server, there is no "OAuth2" in the list. So, for the moment, I keep the "normal password". Could you help . Additional information : the outlook name that I use is "Outlook.com(Microsfort) - stmp-mail.outlook.com (Défaut)". Regards Michel

Windows 10. Thunderbird 115.8.0 While trying to figure out why my taskbar badge says I have 99+ unread emails (for the record, I only have 7), I hovered over the tray icon, and it says I have over 4 billion (with a B!) unread emails. That's not even possible with the email address I'm using it for. Why would this be like this, and how do I get it to be accurate?

Reading the version notes on 128 it wasn't clear to me all that is changing. I am very happy with 115. The layout I use is the Folder view with a folder pane and a message pane. I do not use the cards view. Will this setup be essentially the same in 128?

Also, now that you have the new code will upgrading break my add-ins like it always used to before 115? The add-ins I currently use are: FileLink provider for Send, Header Tools Improved, and PopmailListRecipients.

thank you.

Hi

Since Outlook have stopped us from using a number of email addresses I am looking to move elsewhere. I have always used live.com and not the app version of outlook. I have been using it for maybe 10 years or something so have a huge amount of email history. I send and receive emails from a number of business and personal accounts and like to manage everything in one place. If I move over to TB am I able to import everything over from live.com and start here with all my folders and emails the way they were before?

Thanks so much
