Apologies, searched on help and saw older 2022 messages and attempted to correct but have had no success. My Thunderbird updated on March 4 version 115.8.1 and I have Windows Defender running somewhere in background..

Past week or two I will get intermittent error message "Failed to connect to server IMAP.Googlemail.com" seemed to clear on daily restart of PC Windows 10, now 100% frequency when Thunderbird opens or when I attempt "file-get new message for......"

If I attempt compose send a message I get the message, "Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent Mail) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or ........"

Thanks for any assist and guidance. Tim

Hi, I cannot get my outgoing connection to work. I have had message that said my incoming was ok but I cannot see any incoming mail, (TB locks up and says do not retry or the like). I have deleted TB and re-installed Ver. 115.8.1 (64 bit). I am using Win 10 on an older desktop. I have no difficulty getting and sending using Google mail account, I can log in and out without any problem. After a new TB install I enter my Name, my email address and Google password. Remember password is checked. I select POP, (a few times imap), incoming says pop3 SSL/TLS and POP.gmail.com For outgoing it says SMTP SSL/TLS and smtp.gmail.com and user name is my Google email address. I click "continue". NEXT; I get the popup showing a busted robot says user name or password not correct. On occasions I have seen the system searching for a password. Ultimately it may say contact supplier or the like. I have been down for 6 weeks and want to get back to TB, help will be appreciated. Bill bill.geneau@gmail.com

I've been using TB since the beginning, so like 20 years now, congrats! (to me 😜) Now I have at least 10 accounts and hundreds of folders and everything was fine until I started archiving some old messages in one account, and TB began creating new archive folders like YYYY/YYYY-MM which were being included in the Global Search/indexer by default. So I went to the properties of each folder and unchecked the option to include it in the Global Search results. I could see in the Activity Monitor the indexing of that folder would stop and go on to the next one, until I disabled all 12. Now TB is indexing over 100,000 messages but it doesn't say what folder these are in, I can't seem to find it.

What I did find is the global-messages-db.sqlite database which, after closing TB, I made a backup of, then I found the folderLocations table with hundreds of rows and the IndexingPriority column which had various values of: -1, 20, 40, 50, and 60. I set them all to -1 and TB is still trying to index over 100,000 messages somewhere. Where? and how to stop its madness?!

MacOS Catalina - Tbird, latest update, was working fine for months up until this morning. I have my primary email account set up as well as a few gmail accounts. The gmail accounts got new mail but my primary did not.

I switched to a new user account on the Mac and set up a tbird there using Imac. That works just fine, so I know my isp is working correctly.

Long and short, I restored my profile back to last night 5pm but that didn't fix. I tried restoring back to a week ago, no go. Then I restored the entire ~/Library/Thunderbird folder, no go.

Finally just created a new imac account which is reading emails now just fine but it's using up too much isp server space so I want to go back to the POP arrangement as before, using the previous profile. Are there other bits to restore to besides ~/Library/Thunderbird?

Thunderbird for some reason changes the content of some older emails to code language. It also exchanges the date and the content of the subject line randomly with that from other older emails. When I view the same emails in my Gmail account everything displays correctly. I have tried rebooting with add-ons disabled but the problem persists. i am not sure what to do ... can you help of give me a clue?

This is an example bit of the type of code that is displayed:

I'll try again because I would like to continue using Thunderbird. Many times over the past months I have tried to find the answer to this problem. When I click on a link in email it no longer loads my browser. My only option is to right click on the link, copy, then run my browser and paste it. I use Google Chrome, but have tried Edge, Firefox and other browsers and the result is the same. This would suggest the problem is somewhere in my Thunderbird settings. I'm trying to be patient and ask you to be the same. If this problem ever gets solved, I'll begin sending a donation.

   I'm using Chrome on Windows 10 on a desktop computer.  
   My wife also uses Chrome but, on Windows 11 on a desktop computer.  She has no problem with her Thunderbird links.  
   I look forward to any help anyone has to offer.

Sincerely, Jim Archibald, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada

Po instalacji Thunderbird na Windows 11 i skonfigurowaniu poczty, nie mogę posortować maili ani dodać kolumn ponieważ nie mam (nie wyświetlają się) nagłówki kolumn. Widać to na załączonym obrazku (zrzucie). Nie znalazłem gdzie włączyć taką opcję. Proszę o wsparcie.

I am running Thunderbird version 115.4.1 on the Windows 11 system. Having Thunderbird active (even in the background or minimised) stops the Windows key from working. How can I get the Windows key to work normally without closing down and exiting Thunderbird?

Hi Guys,

I have one email account in TB, called 'Mail'. A few days ago an account appeared in the folder list. It has the name of my email provider and 2 folders called Inbox and Deleted. New mail arrives in this new inbox. I've attached a screenshot.

As far as I know, I didn't do anything to create this new account. Does anyone know how to remove this account (Posteo) and get my mail in my original account (Mail)?

Thanks, Richard

Hello, I've written to You in below topic: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1435807

We've fixed it just as You've instructed us.

But we've still got problem with sending and saving emails. Some messages (not always, just in some periods of time), are not sent and not saved in sent messages. We've had this problem yesterday and now I don't know what has been sent and which were not.

Waiting for your reply. Best regards

OK, I asked this question many months ago and still don't have a solution:

I inadvertently changed the background of my Thunderbird to black with white text. I have NO idea what I did or how to get it back. I tried this: Menu app icon (3 lines) > Preferences select 'General' Scroll to 'Language & Appearance' click on 'Colours' Text = white Background = Blue uncheck - do not select 'Use System colours' 'Override the colours....' select 'Never' Click on OK

I really hope that someone can help! Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I was reasonably up to date on Thunderbird, but just today (March 1) I've started getting this: "Thunderbird.app is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash. This file was downloaded on an unknown date." I'm attaching a screen capture. If I keep hitting "Cancel" about half a dozen times, the little panel stops. But it soon starts up again.

So I updated to 115.8.0 (Mac), but it didn't help. Will I lose my email files if I delete Thunderbird.app and re-install? (I'll make a copy of my Profile in any case.)

Do let me know, as that "?" item in the upper right corner of the panel is less than enlightening.

Thanks!

Peter

On 12/12/23 I posted a query 'How do I stop mails being duplicated in a folder?'. I recently discovered by chance that in most cases repairing the folder fixes this. Good news! But it's still happening many times a day, sometimes on 'busy' folders that I regularly move to/delete from, sometimes on infrequently used folders.

What might be causing this please? As I said previously, what was an occasional problem became much worse after Supernova.

Thank you.

One of my email accounts is a company-named (i.e. myname@company.com) Gmail account at a company I work for. I have a lot of mail, distributed in a lot of folders. And, of course there's the All Mail folder.

I recently opened a message I sent a couple of weeks ago in the folder I stored it in. The message is displayed correctly (subject, correspondent, date) in the folder list, but when I open the message a different message (in the same folder) is displayed, except that the subject line of the message I was looking for is displayed.

I can open the message in All Mail and get the correct message.

This is the only instance of this problem I've found, but of course now I'm worried that there are others.

How do I fix this?

How can we help? -- Not sure what to say to this question. Tell me what's wrong?

I can send messages. My ISP is Earthlink and I am running Thunderbird 115.8.0 on Windows_NT 10.0 19045 on old laptop. This seems to happen when I get new installs of Thunderbird. But usually if I do the following, then messages can be downloaded:

empty the provided folders [Inbox to Trash] compact folders clear history, cache, & disk space delete Inbox and Inbox.msf in my profile delete Mozilla cookies in Firefox [yes, I realize this is not relevant, but I am desperate] close Thunderbird, sign out of Windows session, and Shutdown or Restart

This time I have even tried Troubleshooting mode, but nothing seems to help. Another clue, Thunderbird is not always asking for my ISP's password like it usually does at the start of a session.

Search does not work right. I find the latest update to be impossible to use. It comes up with a list of options that tell me nothing about what is in the emails. It use to be that It would just give me a list of emails that contain the search term listed with the latest ones at the top with the subject line and email address. I could then scroll through the list. I can not find any customization to return the old way. I have almost totally quit using search and just have to scroll through my emails to find any thing. I have a lot of emails in my inbox and it can take a lot of time by this archaic method. Please tell me how to change back to the old way or please change the a new(old) way in future releases.

Hey there support folks,

I'm having an issue with Thunderbird where I've removed an old account, but Thunderbird keeps trying to log into the account and pops up a warning every 10 minutes or so. I have no add-ons, no extensions, and I have two other accounts that work perfectly fine. I went through the process to remove my third account, which succeeded, yet Thunderbird is still trying to sign into it for some reason.

My hunch is that there is another section of the software (calendar, reminders, something) that is retained the account info and is trying to pull it from the server, but I have no idea how to find these other settings if they exist.

Thanks in advance for any help.

In Thunderbird for Windows 10 desktop, when I look at certain emails between certain dates, they display unrelated coded emails. This occurs on all my email from February 3rd to February 23rd. The last occurence is 10:23am on the 23rd. My emaill at 10:25pm is where it returns to normal. I have attached a screenshot for reference. To reiterate, the coding in the body of the email has nothing to do with the original email and some of the emails have been stripped of their content completely.

I should mention, these were showing normally originally. If I look on my phone email app, they are showing as they should be.

Version - 124.0b1 (64-bit)

Thanks Bob

I'm not familiar with how all this works, but excited to learn! I was going to wait to get the mobile client for Thunderbird once they launched the "Thunderbird" version, but didn't want to wait anymore and got K9 Mail. 😅 After setting up my account, none of my previous emails came through. Is this the expected behavior? I went through all the K9 docs and didn't see a mention of this. I've also gone into the settings and used the fetch mail option and tried to refresh the feed multiple times but it just spins forever. Have closed and reopened the app multiple times. It's been over a day and I only have about 2 weeks worth of email to fetch so I figured it can't take that long to pull everything in, right? I even got an email since setting up the account but that one didn't come through either. So confused 😵‍💫

I have many folders for 2 POP accounts. This morning everything looked ok. I quit Thunderbird after it had been running unclosed for a week. Came back home, opened Thunderbird, and there are no messages in any folders. My folder pane looks good. I can email from one POP account to another, Get Messages, and see that I have a new message in the other Inbox because the InBox icon changes. But click on that folder or any folder and there are no messages displayed. I looked in all the directories and the box files are all there and the correct size. Go to the bottom of that Inbox file and there is the new test message I just did. One other thing Thunderbird version 115.8.0, MacOS 11.7.10, and there is a SuperNova symbol that I do not remember seeing before. Thanks
