I have had Thunderbird for several years but have never had a junk or trash box, now getting messages re too many emails. How do I install a trash box as if I delete an email its gone forever

Two computers, Thunderbird 115 and 133 on Kubuntu Linux 22.04 and 24.04 accessing the same mail folder on NAS.

I have had considerable trouble with Thunderbird snap and networking. I have now de-snapped and installed the binary.

Some mails in my Inbox appear to be there but are unable to be read. This is all emails prior to 9th November 2024. All other emails are accessible, in Archives and Sent folders, including those prior to that date - it is only the Inbox emails. The data appears to be there - the Size column shows the size correctly - and Status is displayed. When I open an email I get a completely blank Tab and yet all the info is shown in Table view - Subject, From and Date for each email is displayed correctly. They also show blank in the viewing pane.

Emails after 8th November are all displayed correctly. These emails go back many years and are important to me

Any help appreciated.

Thunderbird is our e-mail client. We have a number of e-mail addresses. On one of our computers we can receive but not send on one of our verizon.net e-mail accounts. All of the outgoing server information (except the username is the same for both accounts. When we try to send e-mail from the one account it just hangs and never sends (I eventually cancel sending). We are running Windows 11 Professional on the affected machine. Thunderbird is successfully managing e-mail from multiple e-mail providers. When I had time I looked on-line for solutions, nothing I found worked. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I had to uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird Mail due to unresolved problems; however, now it never accesses the "Sent Folder". Then it tells me the email has been sent, but it never appears in my inbox.

I hope you can help me because I don't want to lose using Thunderbird Mail. Thank you!

I would like to be able to set a retention policy on top (parent) folder and have all the folders below it inherit that policy. Is this doable with Thunderbird? It would also be helpful to be able to turn off inheritance in a child folder if desired.

Thank you Steven Wheeler

See topic subject...but basically used to have a handy little attachment link at the bottom of the email preview pane...now its gone since latest update..

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks for any help on this.

I've been using Thunderbird for a very long time, supporting it's development with modest contribution. Until recently everything went smoothly when sending a message (I use 2 email accounts). However since a couple of weeks, there seems to be a delay when ever I send an email. Usually I was able to send a mail and keep working through my other mails. But this seems not to be the case anymore; Once I've clicked on sent (which is instant) I wanna to work/read other emails a message appears (TB does not reply anymore) and then only 5 seconds later I can keep scrooling through my list. It's strange. Any idea where this comes from. Many thanks for your answers. Stefan

Not responding message after each time sending an email, I have to wait a while as it freezes every time. Safe mode does the same. It is all up to date also. I use imap.mail.eu-west-.......

The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

Dear Mozilla, My 27" iMac crashed suddenly on Wednesday last week (when I wasn't actually using it) and would not boot up. A message referred me to Apple and I made an appointment in Glasgow to take my Mac for the repair. I plugged my Mac in before I left - and it recovered itself!

However all my Thunderbird emails, files and settings have totally disappeared! Apparently a Thunderbird update is responsible. I have spent hours on the phone trying to get help. I have spent hours with CHATDGP talking me through stuff. The data seems to be on my machine but whatever I do I can't get Thunderbird to work. I am at my wits end. I have all my work files in Thunderbird and have no access to anything.

This is the second time recently that my Thunderbird files have vanished. I had to pay an expert to come to my house and restore the first time, but he is very ill at the moment and unable to leave home.

Please help me. I would be very grateful to have my Thunderbird back and working correctly. I am on macOS Monterey, version 12.7.6 (21h1320).

kind regards Helen 07836 707504 UK

Hello! I just changed website hosts and when configuring the existing email address inside Thunderbird to the new servers and ports, all my existing folders for that email address where removed. Is there a way I can restore those folders from my local computer drive to show up?

Thank you!

Dear Manu,

I am trying to add an email account to my mozilla (thunderbird) email accounts - I currently have several already but need to add another one. These accounts are not mozilla accounts but typically outlook, for example. In this case the steps I take are:

To add an email account I go to account settings and "add email account"

Then it takes me to set up your existing email address where I enter the account I want added: for this case I enter the email address and password:

akadak@esmci.com

It then takes me to the MCI web site where I have to enter the password again

After which it then says approval required - see this print screen shot.

After I request approval - it sends me this

Then nothing happens - I don't know where it goes. I contacted the company and they don't know either.

This is the problem.

Hi there,

Thanks for your email!

You've reached the Mozilla Support team, where we primarily assist with restoring access to Mozilla accounts and subscription services like Mozilla VPN, Relay, Monitor, and others.

I'd like to start by asking a few questions to learn more about the difficulties you're experiencing:

Is the account you want to set up a Mozilla account? Do you want to create one or sign in to one? What is the OS version of the device you are using and what is the version of the program or app that you are using when you experience this? Can you provide a step-by-step description of the process you follow when this happens? Can you share a screenshot, or preferably a screen recording, where we can see the error you are encountering? If you'd like to send us a screen recording, you can learn how to do that here: "How to record your screen on any device"

Each of your answers is crucial to providing you with the proper assistance, so please don't disregard any of the above inquiries.

I look forward to hearing from you! Mozilla Support Team Privacy ∙ Legal

tried to set up an account akadak@esmci.com but says it requires administrator approval - who is that and how do I get it?

[N5K1X7-70E25]

I was able to send emails to all of my contacts until a week ago when two contacts at USCG.mil have been rejected. I have reset the computer, manually loaded the addresses, tested other address and everything appears fine, but not to them. Any suggestions?

Email errors started occurring on or about November 25, 2024. Multiple calls and tech support with Spectrum techs and hours of troubleshooting brought about O results. I obtained all necessary protocols for configuring email to Spectrum requirements and for sending and receiving, but I still get outgoing errors. I have been using Thunderbird for 5 years or more now and never had any issues until now. Upon inspection through Thunderbird tools/setting/ looking at "SAVED" passwords, I no longer see "IMAP" or "MAIL" access protocols. It was there previously. I also disabled all my firewall and vpn settings and still cannot send out any emails. I have thoroughly checked out both my personal email setting and my small business email settings and everything as it relates to Spectrum is correct. Spectrum said one thing they found was that the email settings (specifically, would not resolve with the server because of a syncing problem). Spectrum did all they could to resolve on their end, but the issues, as they see it now resides on the Thunderbird side. In an effort to resolve the issues, the Spectrum tech looked and looked for a phone number for Thunderbird and said this is the first time he has never found a number that one can call for some sort of assistance. Emails directly to Thunderbird are very, very slow. And to compound the issue, there are no lists I could find is a repository for error codes and no valuable tech support or specifications could be found that provides any real help for resolution. So now I am making a last ditch effort to contact Thunderbird for a one on one phone conversation that will resolve all the issues I have encountered. Hopefully with your immediate reply, we can resolve these issues and I will be able to help others resolve these same issues. These issues are not just isolated to me. There are literally hundreds maybe even thousands of people out there with the same issues. PLEASE contact me asap. Thank you for your time. (PS. I do receive some messages via email, but sending out is the issue)
