Thunderbird Community Forum

I have a working system. Using Thunderbird on Linux Mint MATE. I install on a new system and copy over the .thunderbird directory. Some accounts are working just fine, but two accounts have only new emails showing up. On the webmail interface, of course, these two accounts have only the new emails. But I do not understand the system well enough to work out why the old setup shows the old emails and does not match the webmail.

When an email is sent nothing else responds you have to wait a while, if you click anywhere it says "not responding" when you wait about 30 seconds ish it works ok,

I am new to TB and just getting used to the settings coming from Outlook. I assume that when a message is delete in the inbox the next message can be displayed in the viewing pane. This is not happening for me. I have tried: Not having messages Threaded. Setting: mail.advance_on_delete mail.delete_matches_sort_order mail.advance_on_spacebar All to True. No joy so far!

What am I missing?

Good morning, We use the latest version of the Thunderbird email program. We've noticed an issue with displaying messages in the list. Detailed case description below

The problem occurs when sending @. When a user sends an e-mail, it is saved in the sent mailbox. The user enters the list of sent e-mails and sees an incorrect addressee in the to field - in most cases identical to the one in the previous e-mail sent. The content of the email is correct or displayed incomplete The problem does not occur with all emails sent, only randomly The problem is so troublesome that the user is misled by the program After rebuilding the folders in TB, the @ sent list is displayed correctly

I just installed the latest Flathub Thunderbird, on Ubuntu 24.04. I was able to set up an account, but then disconnected my wifi while downloading mail, and the whole screen just froze. Tried to close but it wouldn't. This happens on both Thunderbird and Betterbird.

To Whom Concerned,

I recently changed Internet providers and thus my email address. My old email address under Shaw was matthew2523@shaw.ca . My new email address is matthew4246@telus.net . Also, with Telus I was able to establish Thunderbird on this computer through Google gmail which Telus uses for its email program.

However, when I installed Thunderbird on my other computer it was still connected with the Shaw system and therefore, I could not get into Thunderbird to make the necessary changes that I did with this computer. And so, I don't know what to do to solve this problem.

Do you have any ideas?

Regards,

Allen Wild

When composing a message, I attempt to drag a file from Win10 Explorer onto the composition window, but only the "no drop" cursor is displayed. Thunderbird 128.4.2esr (64-bit)

I was performing a search in my 2024 email inbox for a particular email. For some unknown reason, when I returned to my inbox, all the 2024 emails were gone. How do I put all my 2024 emails back into my inbox again?

From some months I cannot send mail from my account Tiscali : vaincez@tiscalinet.it. After sending message I receive the following error message:

"Invio del messaggio non riuscito. Si è verificato un errore durante l’invio della posta. Il server di posta ha risposto: MAIL FROM:<vaincez@tiscalinet.it> does not match authenticated user name. Verificare l’indirizzo email nelle impostazioni dell’account e riprovare."

On the same account I receive regularly mail message. Through the TISCALI website I have no problem. I have just submitted the problem to Mozilla Support with ticket ID 194931. Thanks in advance for your help.

I have an older computer and email (giacomo00@hotmail.com) works OK on it. I also have a newer computer and its email stops at 9 Sept. How do I get newer emails on my newer computer?

Nov 7 I stopped receiving emails on Thunderbird from Comcast. I am still able to send emails . Comcast states I need to change to IMAP server to continue third party access. I tried to do that but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bless you all.

When I open Thunderbird and emails start downloading, There is a message that XX messages are downloading. But when the downloads are finished, the actual number of emails is always smaller. What happens to the ones that are not downloaded? Does this mean that I am not receiving all emails that have been sent to me?

Since the latest Thunderbird update (128.4.2esr (64-bit)) in Ubuntu (Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS Wayland), it no longer responds to hovering over *any* boundary of any pane. I've restarted Thunderbird, and I've rebooted the machine, but to no avail. Panes can't be resized -- not horizontally, and not vertically.

It could be that the zone for resizing has been reduced to less than a pixel and that my low-res mouse in my aging hand just isn't precise enough to grab an edge. Is there an option somewhere to display easy-to-grab (and easy-to-see) handles on pane boundaries for those of us with old eyes, unsteady hands and crappy non-gamer mice?

At the very least, I need a clear cursor change when "in the zone" for grabbing and dragging, otherwise I'm liable to grab an email message and drag it instead (with potential data loss).

Thanks
