Thunderbird Community Forum

Yesterday, after downloading my emails from the weekend and deleting all of the junk mail Thunderbird suggested I compact my Inbox. I went and emptied my trash folder and then compacted my inbox. After the compacting was complete I could not get any of my emails to load in the preview window or in a new window. I then went to properties and tried the "repair". After that I lost all of my emails back to 5-24-21. Is there anyway to recover my lost emails?

As per this archived question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1386828 I want to turn off junk filtering completely. Like the poster on the above mentioned question, I have done everything suggested, but Thunderbird still puts messages into the Junk folder. How can I achieve this? Info requested on the above mentioned question: - I am using Thunderbird 115.13.0 (64-bit) on Xubuntu 22.04 - My email service is gandi.net

i was able to see all of the emails for some accounts that no longer have a working login, but now they are all just empty with only 1 fake inbox folder, so where did it all go and how can i get them back? it even finds them via the main ctrl+k search, but dont show any in the inbox folder anymore (there are also no profiles under the hamburger help menu etc... and i probably just copied them into a new folder after renaming the 1st clean installation folder etc...)

When I tried to set up a second email account (peters-up40@t-online.de), I received the following error message: "login to the server failed. The configuration, username or password may not be correct." The new address is correct, it was confirmed to me by Telekom. The PW is the same as in my first email address. What did I do wrong? Regards, Uwe

how do I reset my wife's Email account ? Mine is still working. (margaret.brown0023@btinternet.com has failed, but bob.brown23@btinternet.com is still working)

Hi all,

I see lots of posts about emails disappearing but none exactly fit my situation.

I find messages disappearing especially when I move them to another folder. My config is TB115.10.1 Been using TB for countless years as an excellent app. After update 115 it has turned into a real mess for me. Always been POP accounts. Gmail is the server. All mail left on the server unless I delete it. I create a new POP account every year to keep track of emails by year. Have lots of folders to place the inbox messages.

For about a week now, when I move a message to a folder. Say Paid" or "Cars", the message is no longer visible or selectable. I have read/unread/folder size turned on under my Inbox. So I know the missing messages are there in the folder but I cannot see them or select them. Some of the folders contents have completely disappeared. This a disaster for me. Has just started happening but was working fine before this TB update. Never happened before.

Another note. Just discovered that ALL the read messages have become invisible and unselectable even in the Inbox. Only the unread messages are visible. I will appreciate someone's kind help. Davol

Hi,

I'm looking for a method of customising the preview pane headers so that it displays more than From: To: Subject: and Tags: but I can't find an add-on that does this.

In particular I'm looking to display the Resent-From: header or even better any headers that match a regular expression I specify.

Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit)

Thanks

Simon

My Thunderbird email account always asked for a password to contact host. This request for password has disappeared the last coupleof days .The email is working fine. A couple of weeks ago I had a request from mozilla thunderbird to agree to an update alowing change in the computer . I agreed. Could this resulted in loss of password request ? I would like what happened . Thank you for your help. Kind regards Katrina

I have a Thunderbird calendar as part of my Thunderbird email service on my laptop. It is not a Google calendar. I can see my Thunderbird email on my Android phone, but not my Thunderbird calendar.

When I go to the Calendar tab on my phone when in Thunderbird, it shows me a Google calendar, not my Thunderbird calendar.

What do I need to do to see my Thunderbird calendar on my phone?

I have a large Gmail inbox with about 260,000 messages collected over many years. After setting up the account as IMAP it took several days to download the full messages ("Syncing").

However, even after the syncing of all 260,000 has completed, I get a message in the Status bar that messages are downloading again; e.g Downloading message xx of 40,707 in Inbox...

After done, and a few hours later, it start gain, now Downloading message xx of 7,149 in Inbox... This keeps going on during the day with different remaining numbers in the inbox (increasing and increasing numbers).

I am not sure what triggers the download. Maybe when I look at another Inbox and then return to this Gmail inbox(?)

How can I troubleshoot this? Is there some way to find which messages are downloading? I am assuming that the same messages are downloading multiple times (I am receiving less that 50 messages/day).

I am using Betterbird 115.14.0-bb31 (64-bit) on Windows 7. When the messages are downloading the CPU goes very high and the program (and PC ) become unresponsive.

Hi,Before the last update which changed a lot Now if I reply to a email & need to save it before sending it,I cannot where as before I could reply to a email & needd to save it before sending it,now I cannot WHY & HOW to thanks Darryl

Help! My main email address and another one no longer are listed when I open Thunderbird. I tried to reinstall my main email but was prompted that it already exists. I have not received any email since 7/23/2024. My main email is belaflom@belaflom.com.

hey, After the last 2 updates, my quick filtering (ctrl+shift+K) broke. It works very slowly, it freezes the entire program. Is there any way to fix this? I work on Windows 10, regularly updated

My COX email was transferred to Yahoo a few months ago. I followed the procedure outlined by COX and changed over to Thunderbird as I had used before. Everything worked great until the morning of August 18. I cannot receive or send email. I have tried contacting Yahoo who will not help me unless I subscribe to their Premium Technology package. I would really like to talk with someone from Thunderbird but have not found any help. HELP I cannot receive or send email

I have set the retention policy on my Thunderbird account for 30 days both in the setting for the inbox and the All Mail inbox and I have used the same setting for my account however it only works on the inbox and I have 1745 message in the All Mail folder which intermittently deletes the older messages and then restores them.

Am I doing something wrong?
