Thunderbird Community Forum

Recently I sent several emails to others who have gmail accounts. I discovered that they did not receive them when I checked with them by phone. This happened on Dec. 26th. Also, in my address book view, all my sub-address books disappeared. I can still access the groups when I identify them in the address line, but I can no longer see them in the address box.

I have successfully imported two gmail accounts and one plus.net account into Thunderbird but have been unable to get my outlook.com account to work. I keep getting "We can’t sign you in - your Browser is currently set to block cookies……" (https://login.live.com/cookiesDisabled.srf?uaid=d8765d38fd5349ada4d4d431073a1f36&mkt=EN-GB&lc=2057)

I use DuckDuckGo as my default browser but have also tried with Brave and Edge, turning off any available cookie blockers. I have set Edge to allow cookies but still no success. Can you advise please?

I have previously used Thunderbird for many years and intended to move back now that an Android app is to be launched, so this is disappointing.

For quite a while now, almost a year, when I delete an email, it deletes more emails than the one I was deleting. Why is this happening? They are going from my inbox to my Trash folder. Sometimes I loose an important email without realizing it. This happens on both of my computers, my desktop and my laptop. How do I fix this? Hope you can help and Thank you. Mark D.

I'm using Nebula 128.5esr 64-bit on my Mac. Some emails in inbox does not opening; even in Troubleshooting mode... cannot be deleted / moved etc... even I restart Thunderbird many times result is same... recently it happened again and I was able to remove by chance (I tried moved, delete, restart etc..). but then some folders are got empty and hundreds of emails are lost... I can only mark as read - unread only.

I'm using 128.5esr (64-bit) in Mac. There was a email in inbox ; I can mark it as read-under but cannot delete, move; I tried many times delete or move but nothing happened. After several restart that zombie email left but also I saw many empty folders which must have hundred emails in it...

my last backup belongs to months ago, so I lost all important emails. How to recover it I do not know. Any advice ?

I am preparing for a transit from MS and Outlook to Linux and Thunderbird. My outlook is set up in a way that all pop-3 accounts are in one PST file. I have almost no experience with Thunderbird, though I have set up Thunderbird on a test laptop and created one account as IMAP to test. this works nicely. I want to cancel my MS office subscription to not being forced into windows 11 in 2025! Office libre does the rest of the office app job.

BUT Outlook seems a different beast. Now, for the transition form Outlook to Thunderbird I will need to move over all PST files (the current one and all archives):

How can I import a PST file (which contains data of several e-mail accounts) into Thunderbird.

Does that work at all? If so, (I hope) how do I need to set up Thunderbird with all the accounts which are in the PST? What are the pitfalls? Should I use an automated (software solution) to be on the safe side or just not to not screw up?

Thanks a million for your tips and help

My Thunderbird had an automatic upgrade this week to 128.5.1esr 32Bit. Since then, I have not been able to pull down email for any of my accounts. When attempting to pull email from remote servers, the Thunderbird status message is "Checking server capabilities ....". This has gone for hours with no change, or the attempt just stops with no status update and no emails. This occurs regardless of VPN usage. What happened and how do I fix this ?!?!?

My inbox is showing as 96% full but there are only a couple of emails in it. It's acting like I have never deleted them even though I have & do. Yesterday it said 92% full. Sometimes the folders below it, sent, junk, deleted etc show as 96% full also, other times they don't. I have compacted the folders but each day it just gets more full. Please, how can I fix this issue? And please be specific, I'm not overly computer literate. Thank you. Jo

all of a sudden Thunderbird is just giving a message that says the server is reset and it won't connect. Nothing has been changed. This situation just started. I have made no changes.

When a reminder comes up on mine. There is a blank spot where I would think it would give what the reminder was.. So this box comes up with the reminder, the heading is there but underneath where i would think exactly what the reminder was about, is a blank area. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere or something? thanks I can't do a screen shot that would help if the reminder hasn't come up

I have used thunderbird for many years and have installed various versions on many different windows machines. I just got a new PC running windows 11 and installed the current version of thunderbird. The local folders show up but with no content (no subfolders and no messages found). My local folder (about 45 Gb) is located on a dropbox drive so that I can read and save emails on different machines.

I wonder whether it is related to this version? I have installed thunderbird on a different machine about one year ago and it worked fine (thunderbird is currently running this way on 2 other window machines and they are all OK). If this is the case, is there a way I can find and install an earlier version of thunderbird?

Thanks for your help.

Microsoft has been narrowing it's sharing of provider access, for customers of Thunderbird e-mail, same as with other software packages, that were using authentication and other services to allow use of MS software and be up to date on usage. We need qualitative matched data to produce results in transaction goals. Please e-mail and call me, [edited phone# from community support forum] to solve data usage.
