I have 25+ email accounts.

I'm aware on how to empty all my 'Trash' when exiting Thunderbird.

My question is simply......is there a simple way to empty all my 'Trash' with a single key-press without exiting Thunderbird?

If doing so is possible, but doing so involves any type of coding or programming, please be aware I most probably lack the skills needed to execute anything complex. This is not to say I wouldn't want to try if the steps are simplistic.

Thanks in advance for your consideration. ;)

I am baffled. Why isn't Thunderbird an option in the Windows 11 context menu, "send to"? Said another way, when I click "share" Thunderbird is not an option. Can it be fixed? If so, how? I am surprised there I found nothing in my Google searches. Your help will be greatly appreciated. John

In the latest automatic update of Thunderbird to version 128.0 messages keep the headline in boldface even after being read, which didn't happen in previous versions. I wonder if there's a possibility of roll-back this change or customize it in settings?

My replies used to go into the same folder as the message being replied to. Now they don't, and I can't find the configuration option that used to enable that. Where is it? Is it gone? Forever?

Sometimes when I consign an email to the trash and then need to re-read it later, it's turned into gibberish. A tiny fraction of a recent is below. I've used the "repair text encoding" feature, without any result. If I scroll further down in the gibberish, there are links that weren't in the original email and would have had to be sucked in from other emails in trash, which I just don't get. I can go back to the email on my phone, but on my desktop, they are hopelessly jumbled. What causes this and how can I stop it? 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.

This should be a simple issue but I've been struggling for ages. I changed email host and have a backup of my profile taken before the changeover, which caused my (IMAP) emails to disappear. But I have that backup profile. That one I've called 'Profiles - old' and placed in in the same folder (>>>Roaming>Thunderbird ) as the new one, called simply 'Profiles'. Only Profiles is read but I can use oneor the other by swapping the names around. There are emails in that Old profile that I want to copy to the new one without losing what's already there. As I say, this ought to be a simple matter, and it probably is, but so far I've waded through reams of online instructions that I've found to be either inapplicable or more less unfathomably techie and not come up with a solution. Help would be much appreciated!

I use Thunderbird for email in and out but had an email from Microsoft stating that some changes are being done about access to Hotmail after September 16th. part is below:- Update your sign-in technology before September 16th, 2024 to maintain email access.

The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.

My thunderbird email account was on my old laptop and now I'm trying to get into it on a new laptop and it is asking for a password that I've forgotten and doesn't give me the option to put in a new one. What can I do to get my old email account working on my new laptop?

Husband's email account says he can't send emails; this happened on my account a few weeks ago but I can't remember how to fix it. Can someone look at these screen shots and tell me what we need to fix? Thank you so much for your help! (NOTE: Spectrum is the provider.)

Hi

I am having trouble finding emails with malicious attachments. I'm using one of ESET's security products which, after scans, find malicious content in the INBOX file, located locally on the device under the path %APPDATA%%RoamingThunderbirdProfiles(_Name_Of_the_profile)_Imapmail(_Name_of_mail)_INBOX(mail123). Unfortunately, the security product is unable to get rid of the dangerous file, but only gives information that something bad is in the email. When trying to find a specific email, I unfortunately run into a lot of problems. 1. the name of the email - in this case "mail123" does not exist in the thunderbird application itself. If I understand correctly, thunderbird itself chooses names for individual mails and then packs them in the INBOX file. 2. it is possible to correlate the email name from the INBOX file to the actual name(subject) of the email using other software such as MailStoreHome by importing the entire email profile (_Name_of_the_profile). 3. once the email is already correlated and found in MailStoreHome, I should be able to find the same email in Thunderbird (as I have imported the INBOX file, which is located locally, and which Thunderbird itself reads). Well, unfortunately no. Such an email in the Thunderbird mailbox (I already know the subject, content, date, etc.) does not exist.

And here comes my question. Is it possible to open the INBOX file itself and then find the unfortunate email and delete it?

Hello--

I would like to know how an individual can view the total headers in an email. In particular, I would like to open the headers that show who the email was sent to......

I read another person's question along the same lines, but did not notice an answer.

Please help.

Thank you

I got an email from Microsoft saying my Live.com or Outlook.com email accounts won't be supported in Thunderbird UNLESS I change the settings to OAuth2 in incoming and outgoing server settings.

I even REMOVED the email account and re-added it making sure it was OAuth2.

But for my live.com & outlook.com email accounts I continually get prompts for passwords from Thunderbird. Sometimes I can't even click the RED X at the upper right to shut the prompt down. I just happens over and over until I give it what it wants.

I am tempted to shut down all Microsoft email accounts and switch to Gmail.

I have Thunderbird version 115.12.2 (64-bit) I used Windows 11 23H2 build 22631.3810 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1020.0

Any idea how to stop these prompts?

I like Thunderbird much more than any other email program I have ever used, and would like to keep it

I installed a new hard drive and reloaded my win11.Before I did this I followed the instructions to save my email. after all was done i tried to follow the instructions to restore my email. Am not sure what happened but it looks like I have lost all of my email. any suggestions or places to go for help Roger
