TB was working great until ten days to two weeks ago. Now it constantly crashes, crash reports fail to send, can't open emails, reply or forward, nothing works and then it crashes again. I have had complete virus scans, malware scans, threat scans done and none are detected.

What happened? I love TB but it no longer works.

With Sequoia released - the "Writing Tools" invoking Apple's AI are available in most apps now via the context menu (e.g. select a paragraph/block of text and right-click and the context menu or menu bar shows the menu entry "Writing Tools" wherein you can get the Apple AI ecosystem to rewrite, proofread etc - however this is not available yet in Thunderbird 128.4.2 when composing/editing an email.

See the screenshot below - I'm writing this using Safari and it's available here - even for this little message...

I appreciate this is a North American facility at present and you have to fully enable US English on your Mac and then enable "Apple Intelligence" in system settings...but once you have done this, the facility is available in most apps unless the API chosen doesn't support it.

Any thoughts if / when Thunderbird might get updated to use the API to invoke or enable this?

If I can think of the one writing app where I spend most of my time, it's eMail.....while it's true I can select a paragraph and pop it over to Notes via copy-paste, invoke the AI there and paste it back - that's not as convenient.

I haven't been able to load my emails for several days. It states different reasons why.....today it stated "Unable to open the folder Inbox on robinstrandell@centurylink.net because it is in use by some other operation. Please wait for that operation to finish and then select the folder again." When I try to do anything it goes to "not responding". You made me give a 6-number code to get here but of coarse I'm not getting my emails.......good thing I have an actual Centurylink account I could use.

Account on my laptop not receiving new emails & not allowing to send. See them coming thru on cell phone but need to work on laptop Think google is interfering Please 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?

I've looked at other people having the same problem. When I delete an email, the one next to it gets deleted also. This has been going on for some time now. I've lost an important email to this problem. Somehow it needs to just target one email, not any others.I'm using a mouse with a cord at my desktop. The menu at the left expands sometimes, when I don't mean it to do that.

thunderbird has worked just fine for a long time, but recently it will freeze, then if i keep clicking it will show not responding when sending emails, but then after a short time will go back to working. been thinking of reinstalling the program???? thanks

I had to delete one of my email accounts and reenter it. Now when I send an email from that account the copy goes into another account sent box. I have checked both accounts and everything looks good

Any solution how setup Thunderbird for email delete on PC and on the server

Thank you

I am using Thunderbird 128.4.2esr (64-bit) with IMAP where all mails are moved to a folder structure in the local folder.

Since the latest updates of TB, I see that some of my folders under "local folder" suddenly become doubled like

Inbox/FolderA Inbox/FolderA-1

The original FolderA contains sub-folders and even sub-sub-folders. The newly generated FolderA-1 seems to contain all messages from the original folder, but just plain without the sub-folder structure.

It seems that the new FolderA-1 was generated as a kind of backup. It is hard to decide if this new folder can be deleted. The AddOn "Remove Duplicate Messages" does not work here, since it only works on a single folder. Moving all messages from the new folder into the original one does not help either, since the AddOn does not compare messages between folders and their sub-folders.

How can these problems be handled?

This mysterious (1) appears on my folder list even when the folder is empty. This only started about a couple of weeks ago. Have updated to 128.4.2esr but that has not altered the issue.

Hi Team, Whenever we paste any excel table in Thunderbird new mail the tables are not showing only data content showing. Kindly suggest solution to paste data with tables. Thanks Rishi

Whenever I try to search for emails digital marketing WhatsApp group links in my inbox or other folders, Thunderbird either doesn’t return any results or takes a long time to process the search.

I’ve checked that my search settings are correct, and I’ve tried rebuilding the index for my mail folders, but the issue persists.

After the last update of Thunderbird on Kubuntu 24.04 I'm no longer able to attach any files, open any attachments or open any URL links in emails. Any ideas why I'm not longer able to do this and how to fix it?

I can paste images in an email, but not attach any files.
