Thunderbird Community Forum

For a long time I'm having issues with messages in Inbox (and Junk Mail) are automatically moved to Deleted Items. It does not seem to be a fixed period of time. Sometimes it is 1 day sometimes more. The mail account is on an IMAP mail server (imap.pangia.biz). I have both Thunderbird on desktop and Thunderbird on mobile (previously K9) and that might even increase the issue frequency. Currently I started to loose some mails in Deleted Items as if they have been permanently deleted. However if I login to the web based online account I still can find the mails in trash folder.

Is this a known issue? How can I troubleshoot further? A sync. mismatch problem? Is the issue with my mail account provider how can I pinpoint the problem?

Messages no longer have any details. There are subjects and a link to browser only. I do not know why this has happened. I'm not aware of making a change like this.

I have a large amount of emails stored in a mail server (almost 22G), and the service will expire next month. So I want to use Thunder Bird to keep these emails in my local drive for later access. I am new to this software, and have a few questions. 1. Should I use IMAP or POP3 for my purpose? 2. Because it is a huge volume, I guess it may take several days to download all emails. Then, can I turn off Thunder Bird while it is downloading or pause the download process and resume later? What if the downloading process be interrupted due to internet disconnection, power failure or other reasons? Can the software resume where it leaves and ensure the integrity of all emails? Thank you for any help!

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?

I need help to stop emails being sent to me that are scams. I receive up to 45 a day. The senders names ends in

<security-noreply@linkedin.com>

<Admin@evervirs.pro>

example of full email address:

security-noreply@linkedin.com Dr Sam <Admin@evervirs.pro>

I cannot block them or unsubscribe them. This is my second request for help regarding this problem Tracey Lamont traceyml@iprimus.com.au

On 29 Nov 2024, TBird stopped downloading all emails from all my accounts. I have not changed anything on the computer and have run all the troubleshooting routines I can find for TBird. Still not working. Interestingly, when Better Bird import the settings from TBird, it exhibited the same issues. Any suggestions?

TIA

Back to the topic.

MT new installation - does not remember passwords despite checking the "checkbox" in the IMAP account. This also applies to Google accounts for calendar (non-IMAP account). The password manager is empty. After restarting MT, the same.

Bonjour,

Je suis gérant d'une entreprise et je fais face à un problème de taille.

J'ai 2 salariés qui utilisent la même adresse e-mail, sur deux ordinateurs fixes différents.

Lorsqu'un des deux envois un e-mail, l'autre ne voit pas l'e-mail envoyé dans sa boîte d'envoi, ce qui veut dire qu'on ne sait pas si nous avons répondu à tel ou tel e-mail, ce qui devient compliqué au niveau de la communication. On peut répondre plusieurs fois à un même client.

Existe-il une solution pour lier le compte mail ce qui fais que chaque ordinateur peut voir les e-mails envoyés, les e-mails supprimés etc... sans se mettre en copie.

Merci d'avance Geoffrey DANGER

I have a situation where i have Computer A, running win 7 pro, having thunderbird using pop3. On there I can see all my old emails going back to 2007. I now have Computer B, Win11 pro, running Zimbra with imap. I also have outlook. I am still using the same email address Is there a way I can copy my old emails from Computer A to Computer B? I have the whole pop3 thunderbird folder on a usb drive.

Hello -

Thanks so much for your help :).

I followed the instructions to migrate my Thunderbird from an old Mac to a new Mac. I first did it successfully back in July, but then for reasons not worth going into I continued to use the old Mac.

I now am going to start using the new Mac, and have 6 months worth of new email folders etc that I want on the new Mac.

I followed the same method, but none of the new information is showing up, and I can't imagine why - any thoughts?

Thanks again!!!!

Best,

Kathryn
