Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi All the folders in my accounts have stopped responding to commands such as delete/rename/subfolder/properties. Everything else works fine - sending/receiving emails. Tried folder repair but no joy. Cheers Neil

When I try to install mother's Thunderbird program on a new windows computer it downloads and installs fine, but results in a error message saying the password, email or server cannot be found when done is clicked on in order to use Thunderbird on this new computer.

I have reinstalled Thuderbird and changed the password, but nothing allows me to see past account page. Thunderbird has installed on gmail successfully.

Help.

I previously opened an emaii on my mobile, however, when I go to my Windows PC, it is not listed in the message list. I then used the search function in Thunderbird and it was found in the "inbox". Why isn't it still listed in the message list?

It used to be, (years ago) that the message filters worked, apparently, thus: in descending order- filter applied, message removed message from inbox next filter until the inbox was was empty, OR if not empty yet (because no previous filter matched), a final filter of "match anything" would be applied to the remaining messages in the inbox, and those messages would be moved to the designated folder.

Now, it seems that while the filters are being applied, the message is not moved immediately, but rather is copied to where it is intended, but left in the inbox, marked read, apparently. So, when the final "match anything" filter is encountered, ALL of those previously processed, marked read messages are actually moved (copy/delete, I suppose) to the final designated folder.

So, if this is not a bug, how can I achieve the original behavior?

Some additional, should be irrelevant info: I have one main account which mostly gets things addressed to my @spamcop.net address. Things I'm interested in go to one of maybe 50 folders under that account. Anything else ( that is, left over from the previous filtering ) is supposed to go to the inbox folder of my Spamcop account for possible spam reporting, Marked "unread". As it is, every incoming message goes into that account, marked read. Useless.

A final note is that messages ~moved~ to the main inbox are ignored in normal use, but if I select filters and manually apply them, they work as expected.

Thanks for any help with this. Doug McCrary, long-time user on Ubuntu

P.S. I'm not interested in using IMAP, I have everything else working as I like with POP3.

I changed my password on 'saved logins' for my incoming and outgoing email on Thunderbird. My email account is with Ionos When I input my new password it's not recognised on thunderbird (it is when I access my emails through my browser not thunderbird)

I'd be very grateful for any help, spent hours on this!!!

I received an autoreplied email from my colleague. I can see the sender/subject but when I double click (open) the email, as if there were no text inside. Then I open the same email in Outlook, there is a text content. My other emails in Thunderbird are working as normal (HTML format is visible). It just happened today and only just that one email.

Window 10 Pro... Ver: 10.0.19045 Thunderbird: 128.3.3esr (64-bit) Just updated and re-checked.

Thanks.

The contents of the tasks are synchronised via a Nextcloud. If content is changed on another device:

• If I move the mouse over the task (in the sidebar or the task view), the current (new) data is displayed.
• If I open the task, old data is displayed there.

Thunderbird 115 but also 128.3.3esr MacOs Catalina (outdated, I know, but everything else works :) )

I've been using Thunderbird for many years, and have always been very happy with it. I have it linked to my Google Mail account.

In the last couple of months, however, an issue has begun where at least 1, more usually whole batches of new emails in my inbox, are blank with a LinkedIn logo, both in the preview window, or if I open it in a new tab. Nothing seems to make it readable, I have to open my browser to view the emails, but it's never all the new emails, just some of them. Anybody had the same issue and fix?

When I create a new event by right-clicking on a day on the monthly calendar and then "Invite Attendees" I see in the new pop-up dialog that the organizer of the event has the illegal domain address of "@internal". The attendees receive their invitations but the .ics contains the line

ORGANIZER;PARTSTAT=NEEDS-ACTION;CUTYPE=INDIVIDUAL;SENT-BY="mailto:

<redacted>":mailto:<redacted>@internal

Since <redacted>@internal is an illegal email address the attendee cannot respond to the invitation either in the affirmative or negative.

How can I change the default domain of the organizer to the email address of the user creating the event? I have searched through all the settings I can find no mention of @internal there or in the documentation on the web.

I have been testing on my Win 8.1 system and Thunderbird 115.16.2 (32-bit), which is the most advanced available. The people I work with experience the same behavior with Thunderbird 128.3.0 on Win 10 and Win 11.

Persistent issue. I have now UNCHECKED (UK = unticked) EVERY BOX in the JUNK setings - both GLOBALLY - and for all 9 of my email account settings. Also cleared the "learning" memory.

TB still occassionally intercepts inbox mail and routes to other folders as junk or spam. Odd, but it is often frequently used email of my own origin, or from others on in my address book, but sometimes it actually is junk or spam.

I invest tremendous time in building the filter list and do not want TB to do anything other than follow THAT list.

I will reiterate a post comment that there needs to be an option to have ONE MASTER FILTER LIST to apply to all email accounts.

No image attached. If you don't know what the JUNK settings screen looks like ..... you are very probably NOT a person that should answer this.

Until this morning, I appreciated a feature of Thunderbird that allowed expansion of inbox folders when I would drag an email to a subfolder destination. Once the email was dropped into the subfolder, the group of organized folders would collapse back to the original view.

For reasons unknown, this feature has stopped today. Is there a setting to allow for the automatic expansion and collapse of inbox folders? If this feature can be reset, please inform me on how this may be done.

Thank you. John Westover, datavet@gmail.com

1) Unable to download more than one file from server. 2) Unable to move files to subfolders using Run Filter. Receive error message: "The messages could not be moved or copied to folder 'Archive/2020-2029/2024 on Local Folders' because writing to folder failed. To gain disk space, from the File menu, first choose Empty Trash, and then choose Compact Folders, and then try again" 3) Unable to repair one subfolder. Cannot move files to it manually. 4) Cannot move multiple files to archive subfolders manually.

I have emptied Trash, run Compact, and Repair Folder on all subfolders.

Please advise.

I cannot dismiss events that have already past. I have looked over previous conversations. I notice that the read-only checkbox is cleared. I do not have any plugins.

I notice that I get the following error message: XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://messenger/content/am-server.xhtml Line Number 171, Column 21:

The XML tag is <menuitem>.

I am running Thunderbird 128.3.1esr (64-bit) in Ubuntu Linux with the 6.8.0-44-generic kernel and 24.04.1 LTS release.

Thank you.
