When I click the button to “repair a folder”, some e-mails have disappeared.


The inbox file is too heavy and cannot be opened as a text file.
I moved the defaults file to an external HDD and saved it over the defaults file on my computer. I could not restore them.
Is there any other way to recover my email?

Hi,

I'm using Thunderbird 128.0.1 on Mac OS 14.5, and recently (not sure when exactly), none of the normal messaging options like reply, reply-all, or forward are available. I still can start a new message, though.

Thanks.

I suppose the best place to start is when/where I think this problem started. Approx three to four weeks ago my thunderbird program stopped downloading emails from my server (Spectrum/RR). I say Approx because the problem sort of sneaked up on me without me realizing it was there.

I was using W7 and my hard drive was pretty much full and I was constantly getting messages that my email could not be downloaded due to lack of space. I started deleting stored emails and emptying the trash, which sort of kept me up and running for the past couple weeks. All this time my Gmail account continued to work as it should, downloading every email that was sent to me, but the Spectrum/RR account was spotty at best.

So today I fired up a new W11 computer for the first time. One of the first programs I installed was Thunderbird. When I attempted to set up an account using Spectrum/RR the process failed. I typed in all of the correct information, Name, Email, and Password but the account will not finalize. Instead, I continue to get the same message that the Configuration, Username or Password is incorrect.

I have since successfully logged into my Spectrum/RR web mail, so I know the username and password I am using is correct. I have also talked with Spectrum Technical support, and they have verified that what I am using to log in is correct.

I hope I didn't ramble on to much and someone can help me !

I update my Thunderbird yesterday afternoon to the newest version. Now when I click my icon to launch it it launches a second default gear icon with the hover text reading "thunderbird-esr". I purged the install and reinstalled with the same issue. I'm using Pop!_OS on Wayland if that helps.

Since we upgraded to 115, most of our PC cannot forward email larger than 5MB to team members. One or two PC can sometimes send without problem but not always.

We can press "forward" and the compose new email window comes up as it has always been. But when we press "send", it will stall for a while then responded "Cannot send email". Press "OK" and sometimes it will then respond "Creating email" or something like that. The sequence could be reversed (create first then cannot send). Cannot even save as Draft into the Draft folder on our own manged MDaemon mail server on our local LAN.

Thinking it is all due to the forwarded email being too big, tried many many times over weeks checking MD setting, LAN and individual local PC setting but still cannot resolve.

Today I tried something completely different. Instead of "forwarding one large email", I tried to attach large attachments like .jpg etc and found that it is the "attachment process" that is causing the problem. If I attach a larger file, say 10MB, it is problem. If I attach several small files, it sometimes go through even the total file size exceed 10MB. The I tried attaching just a few attachments, save to draft folder, close the compose window, re-select the draft email and then add more file. Repeating this several times I managed to be able to save to draft folder on the server and then send out an email of 49.9MB. I keep on playing with it for hours but I could repeat and can only managed to do something like 10MB/11MB.

This is still much better than trying to "forward an email" (as attachment or in-line) which we can only do up to about 5MB max.

Please help to resole this problem.

Thunderbird 128.0.1 Nebula just updated. Now it freezes up when I try to open an account's Inbox. The main interface page shows messages in an account but when I go to the account and click on the inbox Thunderbird freezes up! I never had this problem with the previous version. I have multiple accounts with multiple services and it hangs/freezes on every single one. Sometims if I let it sit for several seconds, it will open. Other times I have to close Thunderbird and re-open it to check the inbox.

Is there any way possible to revert back to the previous version? This is horrible! I absolutely HATE it!

Hi all, I am a long time Thunderbird user on all my Windows machines. Today I installed Thunderbird 128.0.1esr (64bit) on fresh Win11 machine. I successfully added my gmail account to Thunderbird. I have issue with my other account - the SSL cert is issued not for this specific domain and I get warning about this but I can't accept this as exception - it appears again right after clicking "accept exception". I know this is about SSL cert but I want to accept this exception.

On another Win machine I had configured both accounts for ages - it stopped to connect to this server right after upgrading to 128.0.1esr.

Disabling SSL scanning in ESET or disabling protection at all is not helping. When I change configuration from "STARTSSL" to "NONE" it then connects to the server. The issue is with accepting exception in Thunderbird. Do you have any suggestions?

Kind regards Daniel

I use thunderbird on two desktop computers that are linked via google. Last year or maybe year before I started getting a duplicate email problem. If I send an email from one of the 5 email addresses that I use the email is sent to the intended recipient but, it is also sent to the inbox on the other computer. This week because I was having a signing in problem I have reinstalled mozilla thunderbird on both computers and also deleted the email addresses and re-created the accounts for them. The sign in problem seems to have been cured but not the duplicate problem. Anyone have any ideas about this? Andy

Hi This is not the first time I am getting this issue. I have among many email accounts from diverse providers 2 Outlook & 1 Hotmail email accounts. For some reason, in the last 2 weeks, Thunderbird stopped automatically logging in, although I have not changed log-in data for any of them. If I try to sign in the provided Thunderbird log in box, it rejects the log in. Even stranger, after running Thunderbird in the background in the last 2 hours, like today, SUDDENLY & without warning, I get alerts of new mail in the Hotmail account. This also happens for the Outlook accounts, which show new mail having come in yesterday and the other day, although as of now, unlike Hotmail, the other 2 have not subsequently logged in yet. I can log in via Firefox into those accounts, but Thunderbird will not, at least at the start of Thunderbird, but at a time later I have no control of? What is this strange behavior affecting only Hotmail & Outlook and how can it be permanently corrected?

Thank you in advance

I like to have all folders displayed - also if they are not 'subscribed'. The reason is that we have shared e-mail accounts and colleagues may create folders which I will not see until I know that I have to subscribe to the new folder. Every time I recognize this I do a Google search to find the checkbox 'Show only subscribed folders' and uncheck it. Would it be possible to put that in a more prominent place than 'Advanced...'? Or even better a global setting that all new accounts I connec inherit the setting "'Show only subscribed folders' unchecked".
