I have 2 email accounts, both IMAP with comcast.net addresses. One account works fine, I'm able to subscribe to all folders. But when I try to subscribe for the other account, the "Select the folders to subscribe to:" list is blank. I've clicked Refresh but the Folder List but is still blank. What could be causing this? I'm considering deleting the account and adding it back, but I would lose some messages if I did that. It is set up with the imap.cpmcast.net server and the settings are just like the other account that works.

Hello & HNN. I run the same version of Thunderbird 128.6.0esr (64 bits) on 2 machines with the same Windows 11 Pro version 22H2. I configured both machines the same way (e.g. same DNS 9.9.9.9) and the only major difference is the ISP.

The mailboxes I want to config by my customer's side work pectly by my side (same params, passwd OK).

The weird thing is that on customer's side, creating a new mailbox never conclue. I mean your enter Name, email, passwd, select IMAP click on Continue > Configuration found in Mozilla ISP db. Keep IMAP (default), click done > stays forever on 'Mail for jdoe@hell.com: Sending login information' (with on some mailboxes like gmail 'Checking password...' "waiting".

How can we solve this problem, please? (Can I check logs ? N.B. pigning imap.isp.org works)

Greetngs to all,

                         I'm using Thunderbird Version 128.2.0esr with Windows 11.

I have clicked on View/Folder/Unified Folders but none og my IMAP accounts are listed.

Can anyone please advuise how to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

             Scott

I'm not asking a question now; I already found the answer. I'm contributing an answer in case others run into the same problem I did. The archive function in Thunderbird was running painfully slowly. I remembered it as being fast, moving from local folders (from POP) to local archive folders quickly, but lately it had been slow, like seconds per message. And I had thousands of messages to deal with. This is on Windows 10 Pro.

The fix turns out to be in Settings -> Windows Security -> Virus and Threat Protections. It has an option "Cloud-delivered protection", which "Works best with automatic sample submission turned on". Now frankly that sounds like a major-league security hole to me, sending old private messages to Microsoft! Turning them both off fixed the problem. Now archive is entirely local and isn't held up by Windows mucking into the system and trying to make copies of private mail and send them to the mothership before moving them. I don't know how Windows "Threat protection" broke into the internal operation of T'bird but that was an easy fix once I found it, and the archive function is very fast, even moving thousands of messages at a time.

I am using Thunderbird version 128.7.0esr on Windows 11 Pro. I moved my Mail folder (and sub-folders) on my local drive. I re-directed each of 4 email accounts to their new sub-folder. The emails are downloading from the email host's POP3 server. New email messages are not visible in any of the inboxes. The counter shows the number increasing when messages are downloading. Global search does not find the new emails. The new emails show when I right click on any of the inboxes and select "Search Messages" (From/Contains."@"). I tried manually removing the Inbox.msf from one account, but did not fix when I restarted. I tried the Repair Folder button (right click Properties on Inbox folder), but did not fix. I know the emails are on my computer, but I cannot get to them without the very cumbersome "search messages" function. Suggestions?

Hi, In "Composition/Spelling" I have both the "Check spelling before sending" and "Enable spell check as you type" boxes ticked. In spite of this my spelling errors are not being highlighted. What can I try next to rectify this problem? Hoping someone can help, All the best, Wayne

How do I set up a mailing list in this latest version of Thunderbird? In the past I was able to group people in my address book into various groups and then mass mail to a given group (mailing list).

I recently bought a new computer w/ Windows 11, installed Thunderbird just fine; but, I am unable to establish my previous groups/mailing lists.

Does anyone know of a way to doe this? I have looked at the help section on this, but its help advice is dated 2015 and applies to a much older version of Thunderbird. There is no "Address book > new> mailing group" option in this latest version of the program that I can find.

On Windows 11 Pro (latest updates) desktop, I use Thunderbird (latest update) to send/receive email. Usually, Norton 360 (latest update) VPN must be turned off to received emails. I say "usually," because sometimes it works with VPN on. Is there a way to receive emails without needing to usually turn off VPN? What I have been trying hasn't worked. Thanks, if you can help.

I have the server settings checked off to leave messages on the server for at most 14 days, but older emails are not being deleted by Thunderbird. After downloading messages, my Inbox on Earthlink Web Mail still has messages that are nearly a month old.

I like to be able to either accept or not accept the remote content for each message, mostly I don't need it, so I don't want to accept it in general.

However, the yellow bar, which I mostly ignore, is quite distracting when browsing through the mails, so I would like to change the color.

I already tried several approaches with the userChrome.css, like linked below, none of them worked for me. I am using the newest version of Thunderbird on Windows 11.

Hello Guys!

do you have some recommendation for my issues with printing my Mails. Everytime i want to print my Mails some codes come up and this isnt nice to print.

Do you have any solutions.

Thank you in advance!

Recently, I copied some emails into my gmail account. By mistake, they ended up in the Drafts folder. Doh! I now can't get them out of there. If I try and move one, by drag-and-drop or using the right clock menu, it disappears for a couple of seconds and then reappears in the drafts folder. How do I actually move them from there to another folder? Thanks.

Hi I am using the latest version of Thunderbird.

I have an extensive archive of historic emails organised by past year which have been exported to local folders on my PC. In the past a search for old email content, for example from a specific individual, has brought up a list of all the emails in the Thunderbird account both stored in the Thunderbird folder hierarchy and also in the offline files and short extracts of these have been shown. Clicking on one of these has always recovered the full email body content for that specific email from wherever it was stored.

More recently I am now finding that the body of the emails in the offline folders are no longer shown and the only way I have been able to view that email is to note the date and then physically scroll through the offline folder for that date.

Please advise.

Why cant I Move email accounts were I want them in Thunderbird, I had to delete and re-add one of my email accounts now it shows up beneath my Newsgroup account, and I want to move it above it or back to the top, as I have 9 email accounts and one newsgroup account, can you please help ?

Is there any setting to prevent...when opening an email with multiple replies that it doesn't open them across multiple tabs for every single email sent and received?
