Every time I restart Thunderbird it looses my tab settings, I use many open tabs one for each email accounts inbox and then a few more, after a restart, I am force to close all except the first and the calendar and chats which are fine, and then manually open them all again, this needs fixing

when sending a message in Thunderbird, my sent folder always shows two messages sent, why is this and how can it be fixed? I have been through settings and cannot find any obvious setting that could be set to do or change this duplication in sending mail. Can you please advise? Bernibabe.

Since update to ver 128.1.0esr the "new subfolder" feature does not work (does not show window to name new folder). I have many subfolders and I rely on them heavily. I tried restarting Thunderbird, then Windows. I ran in debug mode with no success. I downloaded and installed 128.2.0esr again. No change.

Is it possible to go back to the earlier version? Which is? Thanks, Frederick

I followed a prompt to compact the data in my Thunderbird email folders. After I did so, I found that the content of all the emails I sent after 4-16-22 was missing. The list of the sent emails was still there but the message box was blank for all those emails. I know who an email was sent to but not what was in the email. This was on my laptop. Surprisingly, these emails did not disappear from Thunderbird on my desktop computer. How can I recapture the sent emails in my laptop?

Greetings ; Easy way to block emails by Address? I was hoping I could just Copy offending emails to Junk Folder . Or just Copy offending emails to "Block Emails Folder" . Unfortunately no-go...

So then , How can I block/delete offending emails ? Thanks for your Help...

I use Thunderbird 128.1 with NVDA in Windows 11, and find it annoying having to press Shift+F6 to focus the folder list, and then F6 to go to the message list. Please fix this in a future update so keyboard focus is automatically placed on the message list when the program opens. I've disabled all the extra preview screens and other things that come up when launching Thunderbird, and I'd like to quickly begin navigating messages without the unnecessary keystrokes.

I want to restore a Local Folder to a newly installed Thunderbird. I have a complete copy of the Local Folder and want to copy it into the Mail directory (as it was previously). I then want to have it included in the programs index. Will this approach work if I re index the entire program which should pick up these messages and then display them under the categories that are spelled out for the Local Folder? Any help would be appreciated ... Robert

TBird 128.1.0esr (64-bit) and Windows 11

Using Tbird with an imap server and gmail email, calendar and contacts.

Not having any problems with email or the calendar but contacts do not seem to be synching. I have only just noticed this and it appears to be since the Nebula 128 update

I tried Add CardDAV Address book but I get the following the "All address books for the specified account have already been added" message. (Screen capture attached.)

I have seen some responses that imply it should all be automatic. What am I missing?

Thanks all

Hello, I'm Christian. I am still facing issues changing my Thunderbird into an IMAP account, for following reasons: -exporting the existing is OK -creating the IMAP account is OK -Reimporting the messages from previous POP3 account difficult, because: -when using the import fonction, a local folder is being created with a directory three that looks liked the previous Dir structure I had previously. But transfering the folder and files proves difficult, the copy/paste function does not work properly so I can't just click and drag. My thunderbird folder is approx. 20g, could that be the reason? Furthermore, I cannot delete the previous POP3 account or the local folders. Any idea why? I actually do have a thunderbird account (POP3) comprises of 4 differents email addresses, I can delete 3, but not the last one as it appears to be the default one. Thanks a lot for your support, much appreciated. Christian

I'm experiencing an issue with Thunderbird that started unexpectedly. Whenever I try to access my email, I get a warning message saying that "The site certificate is not valid for this server. Someone may be trying to impersonate the server. It is not recommended to proceed."

I'm not sure why this error has suddenly appeared, as everything was working fine before. I haven’t made any changes to my email settings or installed new software recently. Has anyone else encountered this issue or knows how to resolve it?

I use IMAP. I've changed the server and I have updated the new credentials in my Thunderbird. But the old folders and emails are not showing! I've searched and got this :

"Use two accounts. Account 1 for the old email account Reinstall the account. If it was in IMAP the problem is solved. Account 2 for the new email account"

MY question: How do I set up the "second account" when the email address is identical for both "old" and 'new" accounts? Regards

Thunderbird automatically updated to v128 earlier this week after I went to Help - About Thunderbird to check that it had updated to v115.14.

Everything seemed okay immediately after the update, but when I started Thunderbird the next day it was very unresponsive. Checking the Activity Manager showed that Thunderbird was indexing messages, but that this was happening very slowly. I let Thunderbird do its thing that day in the hope that things would settle down.

The next day when I started Thunderbird things were still bad. I tried Rebuilding the Global Database but when I restarted Thunderbird it was just as bad, if not worse.

I then turned off indexing in the Thunderbird settings and Thunderbird is now responsive and back to normal.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this? Any suggestions to fix the problem?

I am a long time Thunderbird user so my profile is very large with a lot of accounts, and has been through a lot of Thunderbird versions, so it is potentially more complicated than normal.

Thunderbird version is currently 128.1.0esr (32-bit).

Thanks

On Outlook.com, my login ID is 'dsmasterson@gmail.com'. When I try to connect the email for this Outlook.com account to Thunderbird, Thunderbird asks for an email address and password. My problem is that Thunderbird will assume this is my GMail account and try connecting up the email from GMail.

How can I tell Thunderbird that this is my login ID and not my email address?

Over the past few weeks my emails are constantly freezing up when I open Thunderbird. It hangs up and I have to close the program and then restart, sometimes having to do this several times. It will then be normal for a short while, and start doing it again. I am running Windows 7 on my PC, I have the latest Thunderbird downloaded up until two weeks ago I never had this issue. I have not installed any new software either. I did think maybe it was CCleaner or Advanced Systemcare so I uninstalled those two programs yet the problem is still ongoing. Its quite frustrating and I can't figure out why its happening or what a potential fix for it. Thank you to those who respond.
