Thunderbird Community Forum

Following a switch off and restart triggered I think by a Windows update, Thunderbird is not displaying any messages in my Inbox, though it is showing the number of messages in the Inbox title bar. 'Drafts' and 'Sent' all display correctly, but the 'Inbox' is blank with a grey icon of an envelope and the statement: "No message found". I am an IT novice. I looked on the 'help' pages. I have checked that no filters are set. I have right-clicked on the 'Inbox' title to display the menu with 'properties' at the bottom. I have clicked on that to bring up the dialog box with the "Repair" icon. It shows 'Inbox' in the 'Name' box but I note that the 'Location' box is blank. Presumably it should not be. Presumably it should show either the location of locally stored messages on my hard drive, or the location of the messages on the email server. I am not sure which. I have found the directory on my hard drive where I believe the messages are stored locally. The size of the file suggests to me that they are all there. The periodic 'Checking for new messages' is happening, but nothing is displaying, though a check via webmail shows that new messages are arriving on the server. What should I do to get my Inbox to display correctly? With many thanks, Iain

I run Thunderbird on my HP Windows 11 laptop. Occasionally certain Inbox email messages seem to disappear. Just the other day I purchased a Microsoft Office 2019 package. I received a confirmation email from Groupon and a email from the software provider Tomslicense. Both seemed to be gone from my Inbox today. Luckily I also run The Thunderbird app on my Samsung A15 smartphone. I was able to locate the missing emails on the phone and forward them back to myself. So what exactly is happening here? Could these emails be masked or hidden somehow by Thunderbird? Any ideas? Thanks

My mail stopped downloading Feb. 19 at 8:02 am. I use Bell and Mozilla Thunderbird with Windoes 11. Note that my wife also has Bell but Bell email and the messages download no problem. We both have the same email address, namely spaull@bell.net.

New Computer--4 days old Have downloaded Thunderbird (twice, the latest version from Moz website) Thunderbird crashes whenever I leave the computer long enough for it to go into sleep mode Crash reason: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ Troubleshooting gives no answers Now running in Troubleshoot Mode having disabled add ons (none, I believe) Not much running on new computer yet--Avast, DuckDuckGo [I had a browser crash & needed to reload it on day 2 of machine's life (DuckDuck)...which might mean it is a machine issue rather than Thunderbird?...] Help! bp-4f000aa4-9396-4686-9338-49b190250203

Use to be when I clicked a mailto: href my local Thunderbird would start with a new message in compose mode.

Sigh... Then I let one of my kids "send a quick message".

They have a Yahoo account, so now my machine is infected where mailto: href clicks land on login.yahoo.com rather than Thunderbird compose message.

Someone let me know how to get rid of the Yahoo login + return to starting Thunderbird.

Thanks!

I have been using Thunderbird for several years, without a problem. This week I started getting pages of this text when I attempt to reply to a message or compose a new message. See image. Newly received and older email display fine with no errors based upon the font used in the email, etc. The signatures on newly received and older email all display fine.

Do these plugins exist? If not, please make them, I need them!

1) The plugin lets you make filters for all mailboxes and folders, or for any selection of them, rather than for just a single folder/mailbox. Some things I filter for may arrive in any of several mailboxes, depending on the address I used, and it's a drag to create the same filter for each of them.

2) The plugin lets you search in specific mailboxes or folders, or for any selection of them, without having to wade through masses of irrelevant results from other folders.

3) The plugin shows you, in search results, what folder each email is in. Currently, when I do a search, each folder containing any results is on the list showing how many results it contains, and if I click on it I can see those results, but that's not the same - and it goes away when the results are shown as a list.

Thank you.

Hello All,

At the moment I'm using Outlook for Mac and I flagged many emails. How can I import these flags into Thunderbird, as I only see tags in Thunderbird

I have set up GPG on my own computer. My friends computer is on the same system, F41, Sway, Thunderbird. All updated. My GPG in Thunderbird works, and the other system hangs for around 30 seconds then return “failed to send mail”. The error console returns the following:

We followed the instructions Encrypt emails with Thunderbird and GPG | Bacardi55's Web Cave and GPG Keys Management :: Fedora Docs which as I said results in my other system working as intended.

Could the non-working system be missing a package or a pointer set incorrectly? GPG and GPGME are installed. Keys are configured.

Only just started with Thunderbird, so hope this isn't a daft question...

Am now setting up events in the calendar. I can see how to tag events for a wide range of categories (too many perhaps), but is it possible to highlight events in different colours, please?

Outlook doesn't let you do this, but the Google calendar lets you mark them up in different block colours - v useful for showing at a glance which family members are involved in which events - a bit like the old-style office wall planners.

Lookng forward to hearing from you.

I have Thunderbird mail. I have had it for years. But it has been hacked ? by whom. I believe it is Google. As I have a Gnome account and they constantly want me to delete it. And I am unable to get my mail on Thunderbird because Google it appears won't send it. I have a google account on my Linux Mint. I have checked my google account and password. I am also unable to upload photos on Facebook Lite. I uploaded an embarrassing block of my email by our Health Minister Mary Ann Thomas and I have been hacked ever since. I don't understand why Google would be involved if its only the Victorian state Government. Are you able to help me. I am going to get an external CD rom and load Duckduckgo on it to see if this will help. I don't write code but can understand basic concepts and load via instructions. I'm a 78 year old widow with a lot of discernment. The Victorian Australia situation worries me and I talk about it. I'm wondering if we have any free speech at all

Hi, i am a german speaker. Please not a difficult english, than'ks! I use Thunderbird mail and have two accounts 1) @ alice-dsl.de --- no problem

Hi, I have Outlook 2024 and not able to Import all my files to Mozilla Thunderbird. I click on Import from Outlook, it churns then closes Thunderbird. Appears my calendar imported but do not see any of my Personal Folders. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Arnie

Sometimes, when I delete one email from the inbox, the inbox shows "no message found", even though there are still other emails in the inbox. The remaining emails are still in the inbox, they just don't show. If I right click on inbox in the left panel, and select "open in new tab", the remaining emails show in the new tab, just not in the main inbox. If I close out thunderbird and start it again, the emails show in the main inbox. The problem occurs occasionally, whether I select delete from the menu bar, hit the delete key, or right click on the entry and select the trash can icon.

This problem started maybe 10 or more updates ago. For each new update I think "surely it will be fixed this time".

I have included a partial screenshot of what it looks like after the problem occurs.

This problem is different than any other questions I have found in the search. It purely a visual presentation error, not disastrous, just highly annoying. Any solutions will be greatly appreciated.
