Provide an option in global settings, to use a SINGLE, MASTER "MsgFilterRules.dat" file that applies to ALL accounts vs one for each account.

My self - and MANY other users - (based upon forums) have been attempting to create a single, consolitated .dat file, then paste it into each accounts Profile sub-directory. One issue is that periodically a user must repeat the process due to additional filters created over time, but only in its relative account.

I use Mozilla for incoming mail, but cannot get it to send mail out. I get an error message to check my SMTP settings, which I have done repeatedly, and it doesn't fix the problem. I use those same settings to send my mail OUT with webmail (which is inconvenient to have to switch all the time), so I know the settings are correct. Can you help me understand why my outgoing mail won't work even when I verify that the settings are correct.

This am, TB informed me I needed to compact. I clicked on ok, next moment all emails in my inbox have disappeared. I eventually found them in a trash folder. How do I move all of them back to my inbox?

Why are my personal folders shown when select Move To then under Folders it only shows Trash ? A picture is worth a thousand words, so without further adieu :

Folders not seen

I did not set up a password to view my passwords now I can't get out my passwords. I'm the only one who has access to the computer so there is no need for this "added security", more added annoyance. I've never had to have a password before to look up a password on one of my accounts but now I'm stuck with this function turned on. I think they must have forced it on me in a resent update because I just looked at my passwords last week. Yes, I know there is a thing to reset my passwords in Thunderbird and hopefully let me turn this silly requirement off. But I've tried that and it did nothing at all.

I just downloaded Thunderbird onto a new computer and can't get it to log into my Yahoo Mail. I recall in the past that I had to set Authentication to Oauth 2. There is no option for that in current download of Thunderbird. How do I get in?

Hi.

Why every time i run thunderbird and if i leave it open too often it bring me the error message for all hotmail/outlook mail accounts i have???

What the heck is happening and how i can solve this?

Messages came: 1) Unable to write messages to mailbox

                              2) Processing your a/c, please be patient

I would need someone on the phone to walk me through any changes, as am not very computer savy. Darlene

I'm on tb 128 and use roadrunner. I see my emails on spectrum server but can't download them? I was using pop, they said imap is needed.

   Username: Your full Spectrum email address

   Password: Your Spectrum email password

   SSL: On

   Protocol: IMAP

   Incoming Server Port: 993

   Outgoing Server Port: 587

   Requires Authentication: Yes, or checked

Strangely, I can't figure out how to add to someone else's post if it doesn't already have replies so I'm having to start my own thread. Anyway...

Thunderbird on my system is 32-bit on 32-bit Windows and a day or two ago it updated itself to version 115.10.1. Since then it's been slow at sending emails, receiving emails, applying filters and pretty much everything else. Is this being worked on? I saw a couple of similar reports from other people here but like I said, I can't add a reply to them.

And if it's not known about or being worked on, is there some way I can roll back an update?

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.

I recently updated my Thunderbird client to v115.0b6 (on a 2012 Macbook Pro with Mac OS 10.14), and as so many apps nowadays, it has become worse instead of better: - There is a large margin on the left side of the subject column in the email list which wastes a lot of space. How can I hide it? - Performance is worse: The update of the mailing list and the spam filtering is significantly slower than before. Often takes a second for 2-3 items. Why should an update with basically the same functionality ever become slower? - The issue that external images are never shown to me even after I have allowed external contents to be shown is still not solved.

As far as I remember, going back to a stable (non-beta) and more performant version (where the last issue shouldn't exist) is complicated due to database migration. Probably someone can help me accomplish this anyway.

Emails are being deleted immediately on download and nowhere to be found. Adaptive junk mail controls or off, unabled. I want all emails including 'junk'. Why is this happening? How can I correct this?

Below, and attached, is the error that is displayed each time an email is sent from thunderbird on a single PC only that is on a network. The error is for a malformed email that has a "." after the .com

Send Message Error ! Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <removed@removed.com.>: domain missing or malformed sender already given. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

Resolutions attempted: -The malformed email has been removed from the local address book and the error persists -Thunderbird updated to latest version

Any advice or solutions is appreciated. Thanks!

'bold text'bold textOn 6/24, Juno Security <security@support.juno.com> sent me an email that Thunderbird downloaded that my account had been compromised, & I needed to reset my password. I chanced my password in Juno & put that same password into Thunderbird [I think] Since then I have needed to use that new password to open the Thunderbird program, but Thunderbird won't download email from my Juno popmail to Thunderbird. Thanks for your help.

Hi guys,

I have a bug noted in Thunderbird for OSX:

Thunderbird for OSX always send messages to Sent Folder, even if not checked to do so.

I use BCC to send copies of my emails to Inbox, but everytime I send some email a copy is placed in Sent Folder even if I already set to not put a copy there. It seams that uncheck the checkbox to don't do so have any effect.

My Thunderbird just upgraded me from 115 to 128.1.0esr. After the upgrade I can no longer send emails. I receive emails but when I try to send them, after pressing the send button, nothing happens - no popup telling me that Thunderbird is trying to send the email or anything else. If I close the send box, it saves the email to drafts. - I have not changed any of the outgoing server details and all was working fine with the previous version - 115.??? (don;t remember the service release but I think it could have been 9). Any help to get this resolved would be appreciated.
