Hello,

i noticed with some thunderbird esr 128.6.0 ESR installations that if a user tries to forward a mail the mail is empty. Usually there should be the mail text and attachments, but its completly empty. We tried to send the mail to see if its just a visbility error, but the mail arrives empty too. This mostly happens with external mails. Internal mails still work as they should.

Any suggestions?

Many Thanks!

I use Thunderbird 128.6.1esr (64-bit) on Linux and have a mailbox file that got damaged subsequent to a folder repair attempt.

The mailbox file size report approximately 2,4gb and should contain approximately 853 individual messages, but when importing the file into the Local Folders only 5 messages are displayed.

I tried the following recovery methods to no avail: 1) Using the "Repair Folder" function in Thunderbird. 2) Importing the damaged mailbox file into Apple Mail. 3) Importing the damaged mailbox file into a clean Linux build with Thunderbird 128.6.1esr (64-bit). 4) Importing the damaged mailbox file into a clean Microsoft Windows 10 build using Thunderbird 128.6.1esr (64-bit). 5) Using "mbox2eml" in effort to convert the messages to EML format and then importing the result into a new Local Folder. 6) Using "cutmbox" to split the damaged mailbox file into smaller portions and importing the result into a new Local Folder.

Any and all advice shall be greatly appreciated!

Hello,

I have several CalDAV calendars from my Nextcloud server integrated into my Thunderbird 128.6.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11 24H2. I synchronize every minute. Sometimes, when opening Thunderbird, a message "Item changed on server" appears with the options "Submit my changes anyway" or "Discard my changes and reload".

By default, Thunderbird adopts the server entry. I notice this when I simply close the dialog with "x". For me, the calendar items on the server always have priority. Therefore, my question is, can I set this through the Config Editor so that this pop-up is not displayed? This way, the server entries are always automatically loaded in the background. I can't find a suitable solution, which has somewhat surprised me.

Attached is a screenshot from my documentation, hence the red rectangles.

Thank you very much!

We have 1000 clients network and most of the clients having thunderbird installed (latest version) and configured , since last few months we started getting complaints that some of the local folders not showing their content mail in the system , we tried to repair folder does not work, we tried renaming .msf does not work.. when we see the some of the local folders mail they appear in the list but if you try to open it it opens blank and after trying troubleshooting steps thoes mails getting disappeared.. please assist..

When using an external display, only Thunderbird may appear larger. (See attached image.)

This phenomenon does not appear on all displays, but only when using a Philips monitor.

Since this problem appears only in Thunderbird, it cannot be solved by changing the resolution of the PC.

Also, even if it is Philips, the display may still be correct. Rebooting does not solve the problem. The same phenomenon occurs with mirroring.

Please let me know if you know of any solution to this problem, as I will describe my operating environment below.

Hi - I have been looking for over 2 days. How do I import all my data (emails, addresses calendar) from Outlook to Thunderbird.

I have tried Import tool within Thunderbird - import from Outlook. I tried MailStore and was totally confused - the terminology was strange. I managed to make an archive - it took ages to find where it was and I still do not know the file extension.

No videos...nothing.

Thanks

I have used Thunderbird for years to access one mail account on AOL. In November, it suddenly quit working. In my efforts to fix it, I wound up with 2 sets of inboxes. How do I combine them now that I've downloaded & installed Thunderbird, which upgraded my program and reset the AOL connection? All mail is now going into a newer inbox, but I want it in the older inbox?

Hi,

after a cumbersome OS upgrade (Ubuntu 23.04 to 24.10), I faced 2 quite big problems:

First, I ended up with the new version of Thunderbird NOT seeing at all my profile, so proposing to create a new one. Just closed it and used my web mailer for 1 month, then I finally found some time to dig: the new TB came as a snap, so its profile folder wa no more in my ~/.thunderbird, but rather in ~/snap/thunderbird/.thunderbird (well, as detailed in a .ini file therein...) So, why doesn't TB automatically detect these cases, and propose to "recover" an existing profile located in a lication that was the same and immutable for the last 15 years, AFAICR?

Second, after creating a symlink from the new profile folders location to the old one, I ended up with TB recognizing all my email accounts with their passwords, BUT it apparently lost ALL my Local Folders old contents, i.e., showing an empty Local Folder Inbox, and no Archives (my whole 3GB email archive disappeared from the GUI). After digging, I realized I had a few symlinks bouncing back and forth in my home folder (from ~/ to work-xyz/mail-data/, and from there to ~/work/mail-data/... (you know, in 15 years things become messy). Therefore, TB had correctly found and read all my profile accounts info from the correct old symlinked location, but I noticed it created a new folder in ~/snap/thunderbird/work/mail-data/<profile-name>/Mail/...., ignoring the same folders already in the same profile folder where the account info was correctly found. After reducing the number of needed symlink traversals to just 1, everything was correctly found, but I had a hard and anxious time throughout the process.

Despite my setup being uniquely messy, I think there's a bug somewhere, so I wrote this, in the hope it may be useful to devels.

Keep doing the hard and excellent work on TB :-)!

My computer recently crashed, had to get a new one. In re-establishing the Thunderbird email I am having trouble syncing it with Earthlink for my old and new emails and file folders. The TB field is just blank, listing only archived email files from past years, and pop ups demanding the "new password", when I put in the password it does not accept it.

I have been trying for 2 days to do:

1. Move the Thunderbird data base to E-drive from c as there is no space on C. I allow thunderbird to install - no option for data base location and it puts it on c-drive my default. I then copy all the files to e-drive and then it wants to re-install again. Same PC.

2. I cannot get mailstore to convert pst as the Outlook function in Thurnderbird does not or I cannot get it to work.

I am complete novice and this is all to complex. I live in remote place in Austrialian out back

I had many email folders set up to save incoming emails of importance and they all got emptied at once during the transition from one internet server to another. I haven't been able to find them anywhere since. What happened and how do I prevent a repeat?

Why do messages with links get pasted with *some* links pasting as just regular text every time? Is there a workaround? I have tried "without formatting" and "with formatting".

I send a set of four e-mails every week to several hundred recipients. I have to split that into 4 outgoing sets. I have tried two methods of pasting the four messages into Thunderbird's message creation interface: write in Thunderbird or OneNote. (OneNote offers more flexible recordkeeping.)

These messages always have several in-text links to web sites. I want all the links to survive the required three or four copy-paste cycles. Some do, some don't, and I see no failure pattern yet. For example OneNote's links may or may not survive, ditto Thunderbird's. "Failure" is pasting the "display text" only, not a proxy that will not correctly connect, so I have to re-enter the URL in Thunderbird's drafting window with the CTRL-K shortcut.

Suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

Trying to send mail. Getting a message Sending of message failed An error occurred while sending mail. Relaying denied you must check for new mail before sending

Somehow my email is being distributed to all kinds of spam operations and I get at least one new Junk sender every day. I have tried hitting the Junk button for all such emails. I have tried filtering the senders off to Junk, with variations--eg, even after marking as Junk email from "enzo@newsletter.spartoo.com" I set up a filter so all "spartoo.com" goes off to Junk. And I edited the filters to make sure they weren't conflicting with each other. But nothing works and I feel like I'm in Junk Hell without any support from Thunderbird. Halp!
