Is there a way to make a filter, or is there an add-on, that will automatically delete attachments from emails once the email has been sent? I want this to happen as I send the email. Note: I don't want the email to be deleted.

Filtaquila will allow me to detach the attachment to a specified folder, but I want the attachment to be deleted. Both AttachmentExtractor and AttachmentExtractor Continued are no longer available.

Am running Thunderbird version 115.18.0, on Mac OS 10.12.6.

Thanks

Ich habe eine wichtige Email versehentlich gelöscht. Als ich sie aus dem Papierkorb wieder zum Posteingang verschieben wollte, war die Email verschwunden und ist nirgends mehr zu finden!

My account on gmail is melvincheck@gmail.com. Thunderbird is now also downloading emails for melvin.check@gmail.com. Note the dot between names. How do I stop this from happening?

I am receiving a notification that states "The certificate for mail.bezonabotanical.com is not valid for that server. Someone could be trying to impersonate the server a" and I am not receiving any e-mails. How can I fix this?

I have set up gmail in pop3 so that it will download gmail messages to thunderbird. In my folders list I have Gmail acccount with inbox folder and also my other email account ***@i....com with inbox folder. I also have gmail set up to receive my other regular email as well as gmail messages. In thunderbird the ***@i....com emails are being downloaded to both inboxes. I used to get only the gmail messages into the gmail inbox and the other messages in the other local folders inbox. Not sure what to do. I want only the gmail messages coming to the gmail inbox in thunderbird.

This is a suggestion. Please move it to the right place if there is a suggestion box (could not find it).

This suggestion is for something that goes beyond typos. I am aware that Thunderbird only highlights typos.

Auto-correct would be a great addition to the Thunderbird UI. It might be useful in other Mozilla products. Yes, it should fix word typos, ("steve" corrected to "Steve"). MORE GENERALLY than that, it would be very helpful if it corrected a string to a text block.

1. Enter long proper names quickly consistently

   "usaidd" corrects to "United States Agency for International Development (USAID)"
   "nytt" corrects to "New York Times"

2. Enter symbols without knowing the hocus pocus

   "(c)" to "©"  and em-dash, Registered Mark, ...

3. Add boilerplate quickly and easily

   "mycpyr" to "Copyright 2025 ©..."

Allow users to maintain the auto-correct list. There are too many trades and professions to manage it centrally. It might be good to pre-populate it with a few common, illustrative entries as examples such as typographic symbols (save user's time) and an copyright template (creative commons?).

Thanks for your consideration.

I am trying to set up for a friend the Thunderbird email client for his BT internet account but am encountering problems.

When using the BT recommended settings: POP3 settings Incoming Mail Server: mail.btinternet.com Port: 995 SSL Encryption: SSL/TLS Username: email address xxxxxxxx@btinternet.com Password: btinternet password SMTP settings Outgoing Mail Server: mail.btinternet.com Port: 465 SSL Encryption: SSL/TLS Authentication: btinternet password Username: email address xxxxxxxx@btinternet.com Password: your btinternet password

I receive the message “Unable to login in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.

However if I change the POP connection security to “None”. All is well.

Can somebody please advise.

Thank you.

I recently hat some issues with one of my accounts. At first some random mails disappeared right after receiving them, which made me question my sanity. Last week, I was able to witness a mail being recieved, appearing in search results, disappearing in the client and disappearing the mail from the server about a minute later.

While I was still wondering about this and looking for solutions (I tried the "Repair Folder" last week), I found no apparent changes, until yesterday, when about 9 months worth of emails turned into thin air. (Not in the inbox, not in the trash, not in the archive or on the server). Fortunately our IT department has backups and could also confirm my suspicion that the deletion was issued from Thunderbird.

I think there is a severe bug somewhere, but at the current moment I don't have the smallest clues to write a useful bugreport. Where would you start collecting evidence for this?

(Running Thunderbird, version=128.6.0, on Windows10, when this happened)

Thanks, Daniel

When setting up Thunderbird, I did not see the radio tick box for removing mail from the server. What will happen now that I have removed about 10000 pieces of email from my local account on my computer's hard drive?

I have more questions, but would rather ask one at a time.

Hello!

After a recent update on my thunderbird, images that appear in emails in my inbox no longer let me click on the attached link, and now when I click on them it makes the image larger (the cursor appears as a magnifying glass when I hover over them).

Look forward to hearing from you! Amy

We recently changed our email password on GoDaddy (Microsoft 365 email), but Thunderbird is still able to send and receive emails without prompting us to enter the new password. Previously, after changing the password, Thunderbird would stop working and ask us to update the credentials.

Why is Thunderbird not prompting us to enter a new password? Is there a caching issue, or has something changed in Thunderbird's authentication process? What should we do to force Thunderbird to request the new password?

I am experiencing an issue with my email account in Thunderbird. I noticed that I can no longer receive emails, so I removed and reinstalled Thunderbird. After reconfiguring my email account with the following settings, I received a yellow warning message.

At first, I suspected it was a password issue, so I reset my password in GoDaddy, but the same issue persists.

Die Ansicht hat sich verändert. Die Spalte links mit Adressbuch usw. ist weg.

Die Obere Leiste mit verschiedenen Möglichkeinten z.B. Antworten ist weg. Habe natürlich versucht zu finden welchen Einstellung ich ev. verändert habe aber ohne Erfolg. Neu installieren?

There was a previous thread (archived) about moving IMAP folder contents to a Local Folder in Thunderbird, however, the instructions in that old thread are no longer valid in the current version of Thunderbird.

Using Mac OS version of Thunderbird 128.6. I am unable to create new Folders at all. The interface no longer seems to allow for a basic local folder without an email account. Why did this disappear?

I read that it is possible to create a dummy email account (w/ settings using local directory) and copy/move messages to the dummy account so that they are removed from the server IMAP folder and remain in the dummy account folder. I have successfully created a backup of the entire IMAP account into a dummy account (via download & sync to offline and copy mbox to new local folder).

However, this dummy account still wants to "check for mail" when I am in Online mode. I don't want this dummy account to keep checking for new mail - I only want it to be a local folder and not a mail account folder.

So 2 main questions: 1 - how do I make a local folder (not a mail account) that I can archive me IMAP messages into? 2 - how do you archive messages from IMAP folders to a local folder and make sure they are removed from the server?
