Hy ! The version of TB y run is 128.1.0esr (32 bits) under Windows 10. I am a user since 2005. Under "disk space in "local folders", I have (translated) " never delete messages"

While seaching old messages, I just discovered that, although theses messages appear in the list of messages of local folders, there is a lot of theses local folders where, when I click on a message in the list, a window opens whith an empty content.

This does not occur the same way for all the folders : for example, in one of them, the messages dated 2005 do not open (they appear in an empty window), while messages dated 2006 and earlier open as usual. Other example, in another folder, containing messages dated 2008 to 2010, not any opens in another way than an empty window.

I have tried to ask my question in the mozilla forum the 15 th august, but no answer. That is why I try on this site. I have translated here the question I posted on the mozilla forum in French, my native langage, and I hope it will be understandable ...

==> Do you have an idea of why this happens and what I should do see again the content of these precious old messages ( my genealogy and others)

Best regards, GV, Cannes, France

Download History Backup/Restoration

(I'm not sure where one can put feature requests, if this is the wrong place, tell me where else to put it.)

So, here is the thing. There is the Downloads History, displaying all downloads done in the past. This list has several features so far. Among them are:

  • delete a file
  • remove from history
  • clear history

Hitting one of these by accident is very easy. This is a massive oversight. Things that can happen:

  • You want to remove several files from the history but accidentally hit deleting them.
  • You want to remove several files from the history but accidentally hit Clear History, which can especially result removing failed downloads from the past that you might want to retry.
  • You hit Clear History, expecting it to spare failed downloads intuitively. As it is, I will *never* use it, since I obviously want to retry failed downloads.

Therefore, I propose several feature requests:

  1. For history deletion/restoration, I propose an undo option. Certainly, the history does not take up much space. My specific recommendation is that history up to one week is logged. It can be deleted completely where the cache is also emptied, and old entries in the backup are removed automatically when the corresponding file is updated (something gets added or removed from history).
  2. For file deletion/restoration, I simply propose that the files are moved to the trash of the system, instead of being directly deleted. I am not sure why this is not already the case. Should be quite easy to implement as well.
  3. For Clear History, additionally to point 1, I propose that the user is prompted with "are you sure? Yes/No". Also, Clear History ignores failed downloads. Like that, it actually becomes useful. And again, this should be trivial to implement. I'd also be quite fine if this is made an option one can choose in the settings.

Note that I have seen replies to people with these or related problems that went like "you can go to the profile folder and search for this and that SQL file and..." - no. The points I wrote should be something that a casual user would want to have available, and going into technical folders is anything but user friendly. It should be doable with easy straightforward widgets within the browser.

Hey Folks. I have a couple of questions about email threading. I did try to search this before I posted

1) I have such long email chains that when threaded, the email at the bottom (new email) gets hidden behind the next column. I would like to change the order so that

  • A)new emails go to the top of the inbox list (or the whole chain does)
  • B) inside the thread, the new email is at the top of the list, so that the old emails are pushed under the next column instead.

I tried changing some of the "mailnews...." settings from 1 to 2 and 18 to 21, but they didnt really have the effect I thought they would.

Also, Im not sure why, but sometimes a member will reply to the thread, change the subject line, and send a new email. So the new email has remnants of the old thread, but a different subject. For some reason, these emails are placed in the original chain, however indented more to the left, instead of being placed in a a new chain. Is there a way to change this so that a new subject has its own chain?

Thanks for your help

Hello! When entering some (in tis case financial: https://www.nordnet.se/se) sites the time shown are exactly 2hours behind the system time. If system time is 11:15 (correct time zone in Sweden) the time shown on the site is 09:15. This is probably something that has to do with an update of Firefox. I have automatic update to Firefox but the problem has been there for some months although I have not been able to recognice it until the recent week. I have tried a "clean" new install of Firefox to a new directory with no import of bookmarks or anything but the problem is exactly the same. For your information I have tried a clean install of Duckduckgo browser which do not suffer this problem. But I want to keep with Firefox which I have used since at least 15years. I guess there is a "timestamp" or samething that have gone wrong, but should be easy to correct if you just know where to look. Best regards /Gunnar

Since the update of Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit) it freezes every couple minutes on a profile with 3 email accounts. One - no longer used - has about 2300 emails and is kept to access old emails.

The second is my primary Gmail account with 4351 emails in Inbox and 2234 in Outbox. Inbox shows 1.2 gb and Outbox 911 mb. The freezing has caused very significant challenges with reading and sending emails due to the freezing. As it is my primary email it is extremely concerning. And I am in the middle of a couple huge projects so I am getting a lot of emails.

The third is minimal with 26 emails.

I know it is not the number of accounts in the profile as I have 4 other profiles with more accounts and none of them freeze at all. (I manage/monitor other websites and keep them all separate.)

Also as others have noted the Filter function is doing weird stuff and rarely works properly anymore.

I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 128, and now I have very strange things happen when I filter messages. After I type one or two or sometimes three characters into the Filter field Thunderbird freezes. If I continue typing the additional characters don't appear in Filter, nothing happens in filtering, and my mouse cursor disappears when it is in the Thunderbird window (it appears normally if outside the window). After several seconds everything starts working OK, and my messages get filtered.

So, in the end I can filter messages, but this freezing is frustrating and a waste of time.

My Yahoo mail (used to be Cox) was working fine until the weekend then started giving me a pop up asking new log in as mentioned in another query: https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1459534

where the "Thunderbird" log in page runs through several URLs (Yahoo and Google among them) and winds up on a URL tsdtocl.com which a couple of sites flag as malicious. NoahSUMO suggests running an AV scan.

I ran MBAM pro (scan for rootkits), Malwarebytes adwcleaner, Sophos Scan and Clean and received clean on all. Haven't run HitmanPro as it messed up my computer several years ago when I tried it.

I tried moving mail from the inbox of one of the accounts (I have several) to a Local folder, deleting the account, and creating a new account (thinking maybe something would be different?). Of course, it wasn't. The login page winds up on the same URL: tsdtocl.com

My Mailwash Pro had suddenly stopped connecting to the Yahoo accounts over the weekend as well.
