This is essentially the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1430726 . I am running 128.1.0esr, and the problem surfaced recently. I installed 128.0.1esr (replacing 115.13.0) on July 31. and the problem might have been re-introduced there. I have not researched the version numbers, so I do not know why I went from 115.13.0 to 118.0.1esr.

Here is the problem. I want to see all of the mails with a certain string in the sender field. After I have typed the first character in the filter field, Thunderbird goes into a "Not Responding" state, and I see a spinning blue circle. After I have entered the entire string, it takes a while before TB becomes responsive. When TB becomes responsive, I can delete all of the selected messages (in less than a second). But when I then remove or change the string, TB takes a lot of time before becoming responsive again. Wayne Mery posted at the end of that other archived thread "115.9.0 has a patch related to quick filters which may help." Has that patch somehow been regressed? Thanks.

Hello. Thuderbird has been acting strangely for a few days, lots of Not Responding messages and then it sorts itself out. But now, when I open an ordinary e-mail, it opens up in a Send window! With the message which you will find in the attached Image. My version = 128.1.1 esr (64 bit) Lenovo Laptop Windows 10 Grateful for any help folks.

After adding inserted the password of a new account to Thunderbird's main one for adding the new account to the app, the procedure stops showing a question with no chance to continue. The question is "Consent app to access data?" and it is followed by a long list of details with no options for going on. How can I overcome the problem?

I am running Tbird and I have numerous email addresses. Does my profile contain all those email addresses, pasworkds etc, or does each email address in TB contain a profile for that email address

With Thunderbird 128.1.0esr for Linux, no longer able to drag/drop images inline. Instead of the image being embedded, it is now inserted as a link to the file on the local hard drive, which of course is useless to the recipient and not the expected behavior at all.

I have moved from Mailbird to Thunderbird, a pat on my back I am really satisfied. I use POP3 so all my emails are downloaded to my computer. I keep two years of incoming and sent emails in Local Folders as follows: email account 1 year 2023 > Folders and subfolders organized per topic year 2022 > Folders and subfolders organized per topic The same for three other accounts. These occupy a lot of disk space, so I want to archive each email account with its folders and subfolders and move them to an external drive. Is this possible with Thunderbird?

At one time I had a version of Thunderbird that would allow me to bring in my Outlook emails. Now, I can't find it. And when I try to use version 102 or 115 it keeps updating to 128.1. Mozilla thinks I'm on some kind of release channel - whatever that is! So, am I no longer going to be able to get those Outlook emails? Thanks.

Yesterday was sending and receiving email to Microsoft forum. Today Thunderbird can't do either. Tbird on on Linux mint 17.3. Never had this problem before. Lost almost all Inbox entries and Sent files. and more in the left panel. Tbird version 60.6.1 64 bit. Email mail contacts OK. What should I do? Please help

Has Mozilla "Updated" its' Thunderbird mail client to fulfill Microsoft's new security login? Do I need to configure the mail client? Thank You for your Time in this matter!

Hi Would it be possible to add a feature where, when sending an email, I can set an "Awaiting Reply" reminder? The idea is that if I don't get a reply by a certain date/time, a reminder pops up so I can follow up with the person.

Thanks!

1) I get an email from (email@x) asking me to send information to (email address) 2) So I send an email to (email@x). I save this in Thunderbird 3) I then get a new message from (email@x) which asks me again to send the information in my previous email. This means they probably didn't receive the email sent in 2) or they didn't read it. 4) I click on reply to their message received in 3). I then want to attach the email which I sent previously in 2).

I cannot click on attach and select the email sent in 2) (which is saved in Thunderbird). I can of course click on the email sent in 2) and forward as an attachment, but I want it to be an attachment to the reply in 4) not a new email.

How should I proceed?

I'm trying to work out how to save two different profiles on the task bar (a profile for my work accounts and one for my personal accounts). I'm nearly there and even had it sort of working for a while but the solution wasn't reliable and something somewhere breaks it after a while. I was wondering if there's a more reliable version than the way I did it.

I basically followed the instructions for adding two firefox icons to the taskbar, replacing Firefox with Thunderbird with a few adjustments. (https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/s2k5tt/have_multiple_firefox_profile_and_taskbar_icons/)

• Create two profiles.
• Create a Shortcut (on the desktop) for Thunderbird.
• Drag Shortcut to taskbar
• Open Thunderbird from the new icon.
• Enter Config Editor (Tools>Settings>Config Editor)
• Add taskbar.grouping.useprofile=true and browser.startup.blankwindow=false to the advanced config settings
• Close Thunderbird and open it up again. You should now get two Thunderbird icons on taskbar. Make sure both are pinned.
• Right-click one of the Thunderbird icon,right click the instance within and then properties. Replace "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"" with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P WorkProfile" in the Target edit box.
• Do the same with the other pinned icon but with "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -no-remote -P PersonalProfile" in the Target edit box.

One problem I have is naming the the two icons after I've created them. Sometimes for no apparent reason they stop working and I have to re-apply the target setting changes.

Any other, more reliable ways of achieving this?

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
