Thunderbird gemenskapsforum

Without any warning about half of my folders disappeared as did the icon for writing a new email, as you can tell by my lack of jargon, I am not very skilled in the world of software, just an essential user, so any suggestions welcome, up to and including a 'takeover' by one of the actual software engineers, please advise.

I just got a new machine running windows 11 Home, I installed thunderbird just two of my email acconts and I can't see emails. The titles are there when i try to view don't get anything. I go back to my windows 10 set up I see my messages. Thank you in advance for your help..

I have a gmail account and all E-mails are forwarded to a roadrunner account. The E-mails in the roadrunner account are downloaded using POP3.

I am now setting up Thunderbird, and connect it to the roadrunner account using IMAP. For some reason, several forwarded E-mails in roadrunner Thunderbird Inbox are missing. They are, however, showing on the roadrunner Server. (They are also still in the gmail account).

To troubleshoot, is there some way to "refresh" the inbox or download the messages again??

I am running Betterbird v. 115.14.0-bb31 (64-bit) - Portable

I finally figured out what was causing the problem from this, old question.

I have filters set to auto-forward mail to another email account. Apparently when you have a forwarding filter, it does not add those messages to the outbox.

I need to become more competent with Thunderbird functionality. I see manua.ls has a manual I can download. Do you have experience with that? I find searching the knowledge base at Thunderbird difficult to use - my incompetence, I'm sure! Is there a tutorial that would teach me the basics? I've been using Thunderbird for about 20 years and it's vital to my business. I've had techs screw it up a couple of times. I think I need to be my own repairman. Any direction you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much!

Starting about 8/12/24 (2 days ago) I ran Malwarebytes. Now my Thunderbird is not capturing most of my yahoo mail. I still get some emails, but no emails sent out to large groups (that include me).

How can I troubleshoot this? How can I fix this?

Thank you!

For the past couple of months, every time I boot up my computer and launch Thunderbird I get the attached error messages for each of my email accounts (2 Hotmail and one Outlook)

Repeatedly clicking "retry" often results in success but sometimes I get the second message indicating the server has disconnected. Usually, after a few minutes things settle down, the messages come through and all is well but it is a nuisance. I would switch to using Outlook but it cannot send multiple emails which I periodically need to do and I don't want to encourage Microsoft's near monopoly of computer technology.

I have tried accepting coookies as advised elsewhere in here and tried turning on O Oath as my authentication method but this just got me another error message saying this authentication "was not supported on this platform" (whatever that means??) Anyway, I reverted to using "simple password" which does eventually work.

I looked at 2 factor authentication but that proved to be impossible to understand and, in any case, I rarely carry a 'phone with me and do not want to clutter my 'phone up with more apps. I use 2 factor authentication on a lot of my confidential accounts and none of these were as complicated to set up as this one and certainly did not invole scanning QR codes and installing special apps.

Will this bug be fixed by more updates to Thunderbird or is there some other way of solving this problem.

Hello. My Thunderbird has been slow to pen,lagging while in it,and when clicking on messages,they do not show,and have to close it by right clicking the icon several times then waiting for it to close,then when reopening it,it says it is processing,and still open,and a box appears with an option to close the program so it can open again.I have done nothing to cause this.I have many important emails etc,and i cant uninstall the program,so i installed OE Classic,and was able to import settings from Thunderbird to it,and luckily i was able to export Thunderbirds setting to a 2.1 gn file that was the file i used to import to OE Classic,but OE Classic waits,and authenticates,and then i get a big error message,and here is the screenshot. I guess i,l try outlook express if its still any good for email(have heard /read otherwise) By the way i tried right clicking on the thunderbird shortsut,and selecting run as admin,and make it run in compatibility mode for win7,and thunderbird was fast for a day or two,but now its back to quicksand. Any help is appreciated. ThankYou, Screenshot....

Incoming emails go to my "all mail" folder instead of to my "Inbox" on top. When I try to erase any emails, a line goes thru the email, but it does not go to "trash" as they used to. Nothing seems to get them to "trash"; my system is clogged with huge #s of deleted emails; driving me nuts!!! HELP PLEASE!!!!

When I search for anything using "Search Messages" (Ctrl+Shift+F) it takes forever - like up to half an hour!!! Even if the search criteria is "Subject contains" [textstring], or "Date is" [today's date] - which used to take seconds. It seems as if it's stopped indexing my emails.

Any idea how to fix this?

I'm using TB 115.12.2 and Windows 10.

Many thanks

I wish to merge TB115 calendar with Google calendar. Do I need Lightning? Do I need Provider for Google Calendar? Confused as Lightning features seem to be included in TB115.

Thunderbird was upgraded omn my Windows 10 machine and will not open. When I try to open this mesage comes up "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Thunderbird. Do you want to restart now?". I tried the restart many times but the message keeps coming up. I tried downloading the current version and when it tries to repair the install, the same message comes up. So then I just tried to uninstall it from my computer and the same message continues to come up. Can someone offer some advice? I have been a Thunderbird user for about 30 years and it always has worked well. Thank You

I get this annoying error message daily (sometime, 4 or 5 times a day). I have about 50+ email accounts on Thunderbird. So, I basically will need to spend about an hour or longer to fix a problem that I already had fixed yesterday.

It says..."login to account xyz failed" and I need to enter the correct password. I complied at the beginning (I have entered the CORRECT password day-after-day).

Does anyone know...how to FIX this problem permanently?

Thanks in advance.

When I sign into my email regularly on the Thunderbird program on Windows 11, it stops syncing emails past 2022. When I go to import my profile from the %appdata% location on the old PC, it doesn't do anything after rebooting the application.
