Thunderbird Community Forum

Installed an updated Thunderbird, and now it want to open attachments with "System Handler" and I do not know what that is and it does not recognize my installed applications to open applications. It does not fined LibreOffice, Evince, Image viewer, gThumb and so on. None of my applications. That means I can not open any attachments to Thunderbird, I can only save them in the file type they come in such as .xls. How do I get rid of System Handler and have Thunderbird use my resident applications.

"Set up your existing email address" will not work. Thunderbird stopped working no outgoing no incoming. Deleted account then downloaded new Thunderbird. Entering correct name, correct email address and password (also tried with no password) finds set up on Mozilla ISP sever. Select 'Done' brings up message "Cannot log in to server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password". This unsolvable for me now as I have tried everything I know and suggested in Help.

The above problem is copied from 1 year ago, now I have exactly the same problem again. Thunderbird suddenly stopped working. It would open but nothing shows on Inbox Sent or files etc. I have tried everything suggested. but nothing works. Have deleted everything Thunderbird and re downloaded Thunderbird Selecting the app shows that Thunderbird is 28.1.0esr (64-bit) version. I am now at a total loss to get Thunderbird back in operation.

This morning when I opened Thunderbird one of my email accounts displays the following for each email received since last night:

"--Apple-Mail=_DE41C5E1-7C51-4E82-AF8A-33451E8D062D-- --Apple-Mail=_15B38F36-FA9F-4D37-9155-2CF8D584427A-- "

I am on a windows computer. The other two email accounts I have in Thunderbird appear normal The emails on my email provider's server appear normal

Any thoughts as to what the problem is and how to fix?

Thanks

I have folders that i save my bills etc but when i go to check them they are empty. This has only recently happened, could an update cause the problem . 'bold te xt'

Yesterday, after downloading my emails from the weekend and deleting all of the junk mail Thunderbird suggested I compact my Inbox. I went and emptied my trash folder and then compacted my inbox. After the compacting was complete I could not get any of my emails to load in the preview window or in a new window. I then went to properties and tried the "repair". After that I lost all of my emails back to 5-24-21. Is there anyway to recover my lost emails?

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...)

how do I reset my wife's Email account ? Mine is still working. (margaret.brown0023@btinternet.com has failed, but bob.brown23@btinternet.com is still working)

Hi all,

I see lots of posts about emails disappearing but none exactly fit my situation.

I find messages disappearing especially when I move them to another folder. My config is TB115.10.1 Been using TB for countless years as an excellent app. After update 115 it has turned into a real mess for me. Always been POP accounts. Gmail is the server. All mail left on the server unless I delete it. I create a new POP account every year to keep track of emails by year. Have lots of folders to place the inbox messages.

For about a week now, when I move a message to a folder. Say Paid" or "Cars", the message is no longer visible or selectable. I have read/unread/folder size turned on under my Inbox. So I know the missing messages are there in the folder but I cannot see them or select them. Some of the folders contents have completely disappeared. This a disaster for me. Has just started happening but was working fine before this TB update. Never happened before.

Another note. Just discovered that ALL the read messages have become invisible and unselectable even in the Inbox. Only the unread messages are visible. I will appreciate someone's kind help. Davol

mohon bantuannya.

My Thunderbird email account always asked for a password to contact host. This request for password has disappeared the last coupleof days .The email is working fine. A couple of weeks ago I had a request from mozilla thunderbird to agree to an update alowing change in the computer . I agreed. Could this resulted in loss of password request ? I would like what happened . Thank you for your help. Kind regards Katrina

I have a Thunderbird calendar as part of my Thunderbird email service on my laptop. It is not a Google calendar. I can see my Thunderbird email on my Android phone, but not my Thunderbird calendar.

When I go to the Calendar tab on my phone when in Thunderbird, it shows me a Google calendar, not my Thunderbird calendar.

What do I need to do to see my Thunderbird calendar on my phone?

I have a large Gmail inbox with about 260,000 messages collected over many years. After setting up the account as IMAP it took several days to download the full messages ("Syncing").

However, even after the syncing of all 260,000 has completed, I get a message in the Status bar that messages are downloading again; e.g Downloading message xx of 40,707 in Inbox...

After done, and a few hours later, it start gain, now Downloading message xx of 7,149 in Inbox... This keeps going on during the day with different remaining numbers in the inbox (increasing and increasing numbers).

I am not sure what triggers the download. Maybe when I look at another Inbox and then return to this Gmail inbox(?)

How can I troubleshoot this? Is there some way to find which messages are downloading? I am assuming that the same messages are downloading multiple times (I am receiving less that 50 messages/day).

I am using Betterbird 115.14.0-bb31 (64-bit) on Windows 7. When the messages are downloading the CPU goes very high and the program (and PC ) become unresponsive.

Hi,Before the last update which changed a lot Now if I reply to a email & need to save it before sending it,I cannot where as before I could reply to a email & needd to save it before sending it,now I cannot WHY & HOW to thanks Darryl

Help! My main email address and another one no longer are listed when I open Thunderbird. I tried to reinstall my main email but was prompted that it already exists. I have not received any email since 7/23/2024. My main email is belaflom@belaflom.com.

hey, After the last 2 updates, my quick filtering (ctrl+shift+K) broke. It works very slowly, it freezes the entire program. Is there any way to fix this? I work on Windows 10, regularly updated

I have 10 email accounts in my Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit) and I am using Microsoft Windows 10 Pro and all my sent, draft, archives and templates are going into a different folder. I want them to go into the folder from which the email was sent but they are all going into the email tinakeeling@att.net.

I have changed it to reflect the correct folder but then a few days later and every time I restart Thunderbird the program changes the folders back to tinakeeling@att.net

I have even unchecked the box "place a copy in" and when Thunderbird is restarted it reverts back.

What can I do to fix this issue?
