POP3 mailbox, Thunderbird 115.13.0 on Linux Mint. I have TB set to automatically download headers only for new messages. When I select a message and click the "Download the rest of the message" button for that message TB downloads the message as expected but immediately jumps to the next message. This is new behavior in the last few days. Can't remember when it updated last. It has always worked as expected in the past - i.e. download and display the message. Suggestions?

Why does Thunderbird not accept my password and repeatedly asked for it for all hotmail accounts? I enter the password (repeatedly) and sometimes with will accept if and mostly not. How can this be fixed.

I've received an email from 'mozilla', but in the end it's coming from a russian site called idealcart.ru.

I do believe this is fake, but was unsure what to do.

I logged into my mail and checked some mails and actioned it this afternoon.

I closed thunderbird and later when opeing it again all my mails and accounts was lost.

I can still see some of the local folders, but thunderbird does not import any mails when I try

Using 115.10.1 (32-bit), Windows 11.

I get a lot of SPAM. Much is filtered out upstream (via a Barracuda system supplied by my ISP) More (but less effectively) by Thunderbird. But some (too much) still gets through.

My question - most of the time I can recognize it's SPAM by only looking at headers - subject, and correspondent (sender). I have no need to check the email content.

But to junk the email I need to select it, which causes the email content to appear by the built in browser in TB.

Not an expert, but this seems like an unnecessary security risk, that gives the email content (and any included code) time to do something. Am I overthinking this? Is there a way to mark an email junk without selecting it?

thx,

I retain about 15,000 emails from 2015 to current. My Thunderbird crashed and I repaired the inbox. Once I did this the emails from November 2020 through August 11, 2024 vanished from my mail program. How do I get the missing emails back?

Thunderbird automatically updated to v128 earlier this week after I went to Help - About Thunderbird to check that it had updated to v115.14.

Everything seemed okay immediately after the update, but when I started Thunderbird the next day it was very unresponsive. Checking the Activity Manager showed that Thunderbird was indexing messages, but that this was happening very slowly. I let Thunderbird do its thing that day in the hope that things would settle down.

The next day when I started Thunderbird things were still bad. I tried Rebuilding the Global Database but when I restarted Thunderbird it was just as bad, if not worse.

I then turned off indexing in the Thunderbird settings and Thunderbird is now responsive and back to normal.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this? Any suggestions to fix the problem?

I am a long time Thunderbird user so my profile is very large with a lot of accounts, and has been through a lot of Thunderbird versions, so it is potentially more complicated than normal.

Thunderbird version is currently 128.1.0esr (32-bit).

Thanks

Hello, since the last update I can't read the Filter-Protokoll anymore. I only see the aktivated checkbox but no content. But I know that there a message about junk.

Login to server imap.mail.att.net with my user name failed a couple of weeks ago. I can't receive my emails but I can send them. What can I do?

I have a whole series of filters attached to my main inbox. After I added a filter to many, it won't process the filters and it won't let me move messages to the local folder it belongs in. This has been going on for a while and I was hoping updates would fix it, but it continues to screw up. Please let me know before I get to frustrated and try to convert over to Outlook for my business email.

Dear Mozilla Support

I have updated to 128.1.0esr (64 bit) and now I can't see the content of many sent messages. The content does not appear neither in the message panel nor when I open the message in a new window. If I try to forward or reply to the message it's empty and has no recepients and no subject - like a new empty message.

Please can someone help. We have a chromebook which we use thunderbird to send and receive emails. We are having trouble finding attachments to attach when we send emails. Can someone tell me where to find them. We have them in our files on the chrome book when we type an email and then select attachments we then can't find them. we have tried everything, before we used to save them to linux then this would then show the attachment and we could then attach and send. For some reason this doesn't work anymore. Sure it's a setting issue somewhere, if you could point us in the right direction that would be great. Regards Graeme

Ever since I've been upgraded to Thunderbird 128, I've been experiencing constant hangs. I'm running the latest versions of Thunderbird and Windows 10. My antivirus software is Windows Security.

This issue seems to be most acute whenever Thunderbird checks for new messages. Thunderbird's CPU usage jumps to between 25 and 30%, and memory and disk usage also skyrocket. Thunderbird freezes completely, and everything other program that's running at the time is slowed to a crawl for several minutes minutes. Troubleshoot Mode doesn't help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I haven't tried to print an email for some time. Tried today and just get an endless "preparing preview" message -see the attached screenshot. I can't find any setting to select a printer etc so I am stuck.

Any help appreciated

Last week suddenly hang during receiving new email, then i create a new profile to receive email. But some old email unable to read now or open. Please refer to the attachment and please advise.

i was able to see all of the emails for some accounts that no longer have a working login, but now they are all just empty with only 1 fake inbox folder, so where did it all go and how can i get them back? it even finds them via the main ctrl+k search, but dont show any in the inbox folder anymore (there are also no profiles under the hamburger help menu etc... and i probably just copied them into a new folder after renaming the 1st clean installation folder etc...)

I seem to have lost the ability to open live links sent to me in Thunderbird?

If someone sends me a link to a car for example on ebay I used to be able to clicl the link in thunderbird and Firefox would display the page on ebay, it now just wiggles the Firefox Icon and a notification comes up saying you can view it, you then have to click the firefox Icon as firerefox is there with the page from the linked email you clicked. If firefox is not running it will work as it previously did and open the link, but if firefox it running it just shakes the firefox icon and say available. Firefox won't bring the page to the fore like it did before the last update. Firefox is set as the default browser.

New feature ? or a setting I need to recheck and click ?
