I hope someone can help here. I have used Tbird and FF almost exclusively from release. Thundebird is my only email program and the whole thing is playing up badly at the moment. I can send no emails. Some emails that show in the inbox show a blank screen and can not be deleted. All messages I send come back with an end of message error and SMTP blocked (see attached). This happened a few weeks ago and my email sourse gave me some new settings using port 587 and it worked ok until a few days ago then exactly the same again. They have checked and everyting works ok for them. I then checked with BitDefender to see if they could assist and everything was as expected so I did a complete computr scan with it and it came back with 3 trojan errors all of which were in Thunderbird. So I decided to do a complete delete and reinstall. No matter what I do or what I deleteincluding shutdown after every delete, when I reinstall it comes back with the total and Faulty Thunderbird So I can't start with a clean sheet. Not that I would like to as I have hundreds of contacts an email saves going back many years. Suggestions anyone

When I receive incoming emails there seems to be meta data showing in the header (Picture #1 attached),

When I reply, the data disappears in my reply email (Picture #2).

When I forward, this data shows in the body of my email (picture #3).

How do I get rid of this?

For the last several months on Windows 11/Chrome, when I am on someone's web page and they have a email link and I click it, nothing happens. In the past when I clicked it, it would pop up a new email message from me to that email address on Thunderbird. What I've tried so far:

o reset Chrome settings o Uninstall and re-install Chrome o Tried the hyperlink on another browser Edge - still doesn't work o Temporarily stopped my antivirus sheilds - no change o changed Thunderbird email composition settings for using plain vs HTML - all option choice, no change o tried changing various Chrome security settings, nothing works o uninstalled or turned off my pop up blocker, no change

Any ideas? Thanks

Using the french version of Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64 bits), I set, in the settings, the following options for one of my accounts (see picture): "Delete messages older than X days" "Always keep starred messages"

However, just after this setting change, I closed and reopend Thunderbird, and all messages older than X days are still there.

What should I do?

Can you retrieve an email from June, 2024 thru Thunderbird or have it resent? I have searched all file folders and cannot find the email. I contacted the email provide (Windstream) and they cannot recover the email. The sender cannot reforward the email.

I created a 2nd account years ago and it has worked since then. Now when I create a third account, it works well but when I disconnect I loose the account and have to recreate it again. How come?

I have an earthlink email account. thunderbird downloaded email for 2025-01-24 and 2025-01-26 but has not downloaded messages for 2025-01-25. There are messages there when I go online to earthlink and check the account using my browser. The messages for the 25th are also visible in my android earthlink app. I use thunderbird as my archive for messages so really want to get these messages downloaded.

My 'sent', 'All Mail', 'Spam'; and 'draft' and 'templates' folders in my gmail account in Thunderbird have suddenly disappeared My other account looks fine, as is my husband's account I have deleted the account from thunderbird and reloaded it but it remains the same. My gmail account on my ipad and iphone still have the all correct folders in place Can you help please - ?

Hello everyone,

I haven't really found anything that helped me with my issue on the web, so I hope it's okay to pose my question here. So I've been using Thunderbird on my laptop (currently Win10) for about ten years (latest version is installed). Over time, the folder in AppData\Roaming has been growing quite a lot, until it reached about 46 GB. Since I always had enough space on my hard drive, this never concerned me. At some point, however, it started to strike me as unnormal how much data has accumulated, since while I have indeed a lot of emails saved locally (the server type is POP, my email provider deletes the emails from the server after some time, but they are saved on my computer), most of them should only amount to a few KB.

I found out, then, that the automatic compression was not activated, so I manually compressed all my folders. This helped: The Thunderbird folder shrunk from 46 to 30 GB. It's not as much as I hoped, however. Even 30 GB seems wildly exaggerated.

So does anyone have ideas what I could do to reduce it further? I have analyzed the folder structure using WizTree and can see that by far the biggest files are the inbox files (I am using several profiles at the same time, the biggest inbox amounts to almost 8 GB, then there is another one with 3 GB).

What confuses me additionally (and might be part of the problem) is that there are more subfolders in th "profiles" folder than accounts that I'm using. Could it be that Thunderbird has created redundant folders (or there has been a problem over the years causing this)? And how can I find out which folders I still need?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am wondering why I have to close Thunderbird and reopen to get my emails. If I don't get emails for a few hours I close and reopen and there they are. I am running Windows 11, using Comcast/Xfinity, Port 993 and Port 465, SSL/TLS. What should I change or do so I get my emails immediately when they are sent to me? Thanks-In-Advance. Marc

Hello, I have read various post saying the profiles folder is %APPDATA%\Thunderbird\Profiles\ but on my side I have many folder, and it can explain why when I use a backup tool, I loose all my e-mail. I have - C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles - C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles - C:\Users\Me\Administrateur\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles

And how to have only one ? I have tried to edit setting to use only C:\Users\Me\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles but the application refuse it.

When retrieving/syncing mail from my imap account, the counter for incoming mail is always wrong, it says it is retrieving 4 out of 2 or 8 out of 1. Already tried the repair function, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Thunderbird v. 115.14.0.

I have 3 calendars in my Lightning calendar interface. Two are stored locally, one is labeled "Home", the other is "Recurring". I also have a Google calendar named "Shared". I can create and save events into any of these calendars and I can move events between calendars using the context-click "Edit". But if I receive an invite in email, when I accept it I am offered only the choice of "Home" and "Recurring". I cannot save it to "Shared". When I open the event, I am not offered a choice of calendar. I believe in the past I could accept invites into the "Shared" google calendar, but I might be wrong about that.

128.6.0esr (64bit) on Win11

I have a new laptop and I'm trying to set up my Thunderbird account. I have it all set up on my old laptop which I cannot not turn on. I can't access some passwords from the old laptop, etc. I use OPTIMUM as my email.

I am in need of "transferring" my T-Bird acct from my old to new laptop. Is it possible to bring over all the folder I have already created?

BTW, I tried to enter a new password on my new laptop but I get a 'failed' msg each time. It's all going in circles.

I hope my question makes sense.

Thank you! viggy1121

When I try to print a message with a long paragraph, the font size is reduced so the longest paragraph fits on one line - long lkines are not folded. Often the font is tiny and the printout is useless - is very hard to read. How do I fix this?

I have the problem that Thunderbird leaves the "Status" of a newly created event as "Not specified". This causes events to automatically be marked as "Tentative" when I edit them on another device/app, to which in turn they will be displayed darker in Thunderbird.

Since the process of changing the status of an event is not exactly fast and easy in Thunderbird (Double click > Edit > Options > Status > Confirmed > Save and Close), I am looking for a way to automatically mark events I create as "Confirmed". I don't use attendees or anything. I just want to organize my reminders.

I can't find anything about this on the forum or the internet in general, so any help or different solutions would be appreciated. Thanks!
