Dear Sir or Madam, Since last monday I'm unable to receive Thunderbirds messages but can send and the 2 emails went into my local folders file now instead of my daviddss2007@aol.com sent file (see attachedment). I am unable to carry out any functions of my current files in daviddss2007@aol.com (eg move, change or delete). I've also noticed if I try other methods to retrieve messages I get the 1st attachment each time on my screen. I've tried checking my Settings / Account settings with my very limited experience and all the settings appear to be correct according to other blogs I've read. As further info when I open my Thunderbirds page it is not normal for the page to show permanently daviddss2007@aol.com: Connected to imap.aol.com... (see 3rd attachment). Normally it would search for emails received in my INBOX and if nothing found remain empty?. I hope the attachments assist - so PLEASE HELP Dave S Smith

I want to send some attachments with Thunderbird but suddenly, yesterday, I am unable to get My Documents to open and select the required file. I can open Thunderbird as normal, and I can send text only emails, but when I select "Attach" then My Documents comes up but as soon as I click on ant folder then I get the message "Attach file - Not Responding". The window just stays like that until I close the programme.

This a new problem from 1 day ago.

I am using Windows 11, 64 bit Pro, fully up-to-date; I use Hitman Pro, fully up-to-date, 64 bit; and I use Malwarebytes, fully up-to-date, 64 bit. I have a Lenovo Thinkbook i7 with 1gig hard-drive and 16 gb RAM.

I keep everything current and up-to-date, and programmes like Adobe Acrobat 2020, Hitman Pro, Malwarebytes are all paid-up subscriptions and all up-to-date.

Perhaps someone might have a solution to save having to to reformat my Email programme to Firefox or MS Messenger or some other thing.

Добрый день. Пришлите пожалуйста инструкцию, как можно уменьшить занятое место на почтовом сервере с помощью mozilla thunderbird, делая эти письма доступными для архивного просмотра в thunderbird?

I started using Thunderbird several months ago. I use Windows10 and Edge; using the settings advised by optus. Optusnet is my email server. With some difficulty I downloaded my address book via a CSV file. Emails to or from Yahoo addresses do not arrive. A sent message records as having been sent and is in the sent box but is not received by the addressee. Arriving emails do not arrive from Yahoo. All other email addresses appear to be delivered ok. I have double checked all of communication settings. Please advise.

New user here. I am trying to clean out my inbox (over 10000 emails). I select multiple emails trying to delete them. However, no matter if I hit the delete key, the trashcan, or right-click and select "delete selected messages"; only 1 email is deleted.

What am I doing wrong?

The latest Thunderbird releases have been crashing regularly, with these submitted reports. I'm trying to ascertain what I need to do to mitigate or eliminate the crashes.

In the last 2 weeks my wife Thunderbird refuses to send emails. The attached image is the error message. I got Telstra to reset her P/W, but Thunderbird still asks for a P/W. Using her details on Telstra webmail, messages are sent with no problem. I had same problem back in September, but I can't remember how it was solved. Your help would be much appreciated.

I copied Thunderbird folder in on my old computer to thumb drive. I Installed Thunderbird on new computer. I replaced the Thunderbird folder on the new computer with the data from the old computer. The folder on old computer had over 9,300 files. I ran the Thunderbird on the new computer. The old mail data was not shown. I was asked to create and new mail account the new computer. Mail from old computer did NOT appear. What is needed to get all of my mail, addresses and calendar data to the new computer. A large number of files are in the folder. see a sample of the names are attached,

thanks

I am running Thunderbird snap 128 esr on Ubuntu 24.4. A few days ago the usual alert popped up advising me that a new version of Thunderbird was available. I duly closed the programme, waited a little while and then reopened it. But on checking I found that it was still stuck on 128.4.2, while the release notes say that the latest version is 128.4.4. Yesterday the alert appeared again. I again closed and opened the programme but found it to be still on 12.4.2. The same thing happened again today. Any idea why Thunderbird is apparently not updating? NB: Each day the alert is reducing by one the number of days in which it says Thunderbird will be automatically updated.

How to Enable Delete Confirmation Dialog Box in Thunderbird email Trash on Linux system.

My Thunderbird was set up to do this and worked fine until today when I somehow double clicked the mouse and the system eliminated that check before deleting. Please help me restore it and be simple and concrete in instruction because I am not tech-savvy.

Thank you

Hello Folks Incoming email is posted directly to my Trash folder and not to my Inbox on my Thunderbird program. Can anyone help me with this problem please? Terry O 2shea@email.com
