I often wake up my machine and immediately click "get messages" to see what's new. Often when I do this my request is blocked because the trash or some other folder is being compacted. This is annoying.

Why must tbird choose to compact just when I am trying to do something? Couldn't it do compaction and other such housekeeping in the background, when it would otherwise be idle?

With the latest update to version 128.3.3 in October 2024, I have lost the local folders to one email account and the address books to both email accounts. Any advice in how to retrieve them?

Hello,

I'm using 115.16.0esr (64-bit) for Linux. I received an email message. I have the protection for not download images (I don't know if this is relevant, but the issue only happened after I select download images, as I didn't try before). Now, when I select the message, I can't scroll down and see the bottom of it. Neither with the mouse scroll wheel, not using arrow or page down keys.

I tried opening the message in another tab, and did not work. I can only read the whole message when I click to reply, in the new message.

Image attached for better understanding.

What's going on?

Дробового времени суток. После смены пароля, пропали сообщения входящие, отправленные, удаленные. При это всем если использовать поиск глобальный (на нескольких почтах), то сообщения показывает. Каким образом вернуть обратно сообщения. Делал переустановку (с выгрузкой профилей), починку папок.

After the last update my settings have been a mess. Not sure what all the settings where because haven't need to change anything in years. It has been perfect. Now it is not letting me click a link for to a website. I have tried to fix in settings but sure just not picking the right option. Been at this for over 2 hours. Just can't find the right settings. Thank you

I am setting up a new computer, and have installed thunderbird. When I try to use the Troubleshooting Information "Profile Folder" option, it tells me the location is not available.

How do I get to that location so I can paste abook.sqlite and history.sqlite in and be on my way?

My entire experience with TB has changed and I don't know if it's something I did or if TB changed its format. I just want my old start screen back to the way it was before. Now, I send an email with photos included IN THE EMAIL and when I look at Sent email it looks nothing like what I sent and the photos are at the bottom of the screen as attachments. If these changes are on TB's end, I'm definitely not happy with them. Is there a way to get the previous format back?

nous sommes rentrés hier et je n'avais pas utilisé ma messagerie depuis le 24/10 Je n'arrive plus à accéder à ma boite mails et un ami vient de m'appeler pour me dire qu'il vient de recevoir un mail bizarre!! Pouvez-vous m'aider et me dire comment récupérer mon compte mail en toutes sécurités par avance merci bien cordialement Jacques Salsac

An e-mail body displayed does not match subject header. This is rare, 1-2x per month and for a single e-mail. The subject line above and below (even though rest of header matches body) is for a deleted e-mail. I've seen this most often with e-mails left in Inbox for several days. Windows 11 & TB 115.4.2 (but has existed in earlier versions as well)

I have a calendar reminder from last week (I was away from the computer). Now, it keeps popping up. If I click dismiss or dismiss all, nothing happens.

I am running 128.4.0.

Two queries:- I have a strange black square that appears when replying to emails. It can be moved with the cursor but won't disappear. I have the option set which displays the number of messages and the disc space they occupy in various folder. In the Deleted folder, when I empty it, either using 'Empty Deleted' or manually be selecting all the messages and using the delete key, The number of messages drops to zero but the disc space is still occupied. This is in contrast to the junk folder where the operation works as expected. Help, please!

I saw an image in here from someone replying to a different question where they had an actual icon for their unread mail status rather than the dot. How do you do that? Thanks!

Warum werden Adressen aus den Kontakten im roten Feld und mit folgenden Zeichen angezeigt "<>!" Nach entfernen der automatisch angehängten Zeichen wird die Adresse richtig angezeigt und man kann die Mail versenden.

Hi My Thunderbird email account has stopped receiving emails. I've just noticed no emails have come in in the last 6 days. I tried to send myself an email (from another account) which confirmed it wasn't working. I have unlimited storage so it's not a storage issue. Can you help me solve the problem? Thank you Anna

Hi to all,

I send messages over php with a link, for example:

Koordinaten: <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=49.7997283719618&mlon=7.796087265014649&zoom=15&layers=M" title="Kartenübersicht im Browser öffnen">49.7997283719618, 7.796087265014649</a></p>

When I copy the source code the link is correct. When I copy the whole html mail source code in a blank page and save it as .html, the link is correct, too. It works and the code generator (notepad++) shows no error.

But:

In the Mail Preview an -view the link is shorten to: ttps://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=49.7997283719618&mlon=7.796087265014649&zoom=15&layers=M The first h is gone. Any idea, how this could happen?!

Greetings Chnutz

Good morning, I have a problem with my inbox, because after a week Thunderbird deletes my messages on other computers, it works fine, I don't have a pop account, I only have an imap account, I don't have archiving enabled, I don't have any rules, the account has been reconfigured several times, I could find out how to fix it?
