I am using the latest version of Thunderbird 128.3.3esr 64-bit on my Windows 11 Laptop.

I have just discovered to my dismay that I am no longer sending Return Receipts to my received emails. I know that in the past that I always did! My Global Settings for Return Receipts have not changed. Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated.

I was trying to create a unified folder for all my 10 different email addresses to display the messages received today. I couldn't figure out how to create one, so I set the criteria in the Templates Unified Folder and then I renamed that folder to "Today's Inbox". As soon as I hit ok, it disappeared, never to be seen again. So now, I don't have my Templates Unified folder, which I never used, nor do I have the Today's Inbox Unified Folder. So how do I create a Unified folder?

Installed latest version of TB and want to migrate account settings and messages from Postbox to Thunderbird. I used the TB import tool and selected the active Postbox profile to import. All three accounts were imported. All the emails in one account were imported. In the case of the other two accounts, one of which is active and one is inactive, TB only imported the message headers only, not the contents.

I then found a migration app from a software company that was supposedly designed specifically to migrate Postbox accounts and messages to TB. When I ran the app, I got the exact same results as when I did it manually.

Any ideas on why the message content is missing on all emails in the two other accounts? The account settings are unchanged from Postbox.

Thanks!

I've compared the two emails. One works the other does not. When I get emails this asks for password. So I tried to look up the password in the settings and dmm@chartermi.net did not show but the others did.

Hello, The installer seems broken on the latest version of Windows 11 (Version: 24H2) where it says that the installer is corrupt. I must say that this is not the only installer not working on this latest version of Windows, (all compressed installer seems to not work properly).

The steps to reproduce are very simple, just clean install a PC on this latest version and try the installer. (Tested on two different computers)

Meanwhile I found a bypass where you can extract the installer manually with WinRar and use it from here.

I would like to know if someone at Mozilla is working on a fix for this issue or if a patch from Microsoft is required.

If no one is able to provide a answer, please consider this message as a bug report.

Thanks for time !

I have been running using for many years and used to love it. Somehow, my Sent message folder got corrupted and now I'm having unbearable problems with Thunderbird. TBird now regularly stops working for 5 to 15 minutes and my computer is unusable during this time. It creates multiple Sent folders (Sent-1, Sent-2, Sent-3, etc.) each 15 GB in size, so if I don't regularly delete them, my hard drive fills up. I've posted before about this and got some help, but the problem isn't resolved.

Is there someone/some organization that offers personalized support, someone who I could talk to by voice and/or Zoom, for support? I'm willing to pay, if needed.

Thank you very much. Mark

I was under the impression that emails in Thunderbird would also be reflected in the email that TB is linked to. Not necessarily in the same format. But my TB is linked to a Gmail account.

Although most TB emails are shown in the Gmail account, there are a few emails that only show in TB and not in Gmail.

Does anyone else experience a similar email display? Does anyone have a reason(s) for this strange email treatment?

After an update to Thunderbird I can't seem to log into my Cox email account from Thunderbird. I have no problem logging onto the account when I am connected to Cox through my browser. The POP and SMTP settings appear to be set correctly in Thunderbird. Any suggestions?

Trying to place my local folders directly in my mac os user directory as a mounted, encrypted drive, with the rest of Thunderbird under the Library subdirectory. Looking in this directory (mounted gocryptfs) shows the expected files.

When I first open Thunderbird, there's nothing in local folders. The account setting for local folders indicates /Users/me/Mail. Nothing showing in Local Folders. I select browse, and again choose /Users/me/Mail directory. Still nothing showing in Local Folders.

I close Thunderbird, then reopen Thunderbird. Local Folders now there and showing all expected files. So there's your work-around, but why isn't Thunderbird just opening Local Folders as expected ? Ownership and permissions on directories seem the same as on all my other accounts.

If I select only Inbox in each Gmail account under Edit Saved Search Properties for Inbox then a lot of mail is not displayed. If I select only All Mail then a lot of mail is not displayed. However, if I select both Inbox and All Mail, then all the mail is displayed, HOWEVER, then I have duplicates of everything in my Unified Inbox.

I'm using Thunderbird 128.3.3esr(g4 bit) on Windows 10. Sometimes (not always) an email arrives and I read it, but when I go back to look for it later, it isn't in the inbox, whether regular view or unified view. It still exists on the server (Gmail) and I can find it in search. This doesn't happen for every email, but it has happened more than once. There are no inbox filters that I know of. I've rebuilt the folder, same result.

I've looked through similar reports online but not found anything that helps. Though I doubt it's relevant, I'll add that initially, unified view was empty, so I renamed the "smart mailboxes" folder as suggested online, and then unified view showed correctly.

Suggestions?

Suppose an incoming message has been filtered and moved to a specific folder (say F) and is displayed in a search window (for instance "recents"). How can we retrieve the information that the message lies in F? Thanks. Gérald

Olá, nos últimos tempos tenho me deparado com o thunderbird duplicando inbox e criando varias, porém com copias aleatórias dos emails da caixa de entrada, necessito de uma solução, pois uso amplamente o firefox em minha estrutura.

I've been getting a random photo (the same one every time) attached to my emails in Thunderbird so I can't see the body of my emails. When I go to my gmail account I can see the email body and genuine attachments if there but not in Thunderbird because of the attached photo. Not sure if connected but I've noticed I'm missing emails too - both received and sent. My emails come in to work email address connected via my gmail account to Thunderbird. I've had this set up for years as I prefer the Thunderbird interface to gmail's but this problem started a couple of months ago. Screen shot attached showing the email with random image attached, note it removes the email sender details too but this still came up in the search. Can anyone help? Thanks

I had Tbird running very well on my new MacBook a two months, I have it set to work perfectly with my outlook.com email account for emails, contacts and calendar. I have Tbsync and Provider for exchange add ons. In fact the whole set up was much easier on the Mac than on my old Win10 laptop. I also have BT, Gmail and iCloud email folders set up as well. As state the whole system was working perfectly, calendar events etc all synced and updated my Outlook.com account and also my iPhone. I was extremely pleased with how it was working.

Problem. I switch off my Mac last night as usual. Started up this morning and opened Tbird. Latest emails were duly received from all accounts including my Outlook.com.

However when I went to add a new event I noticed there were no calendars, none! Yesterday there were F1, holidays, personal. I then noticed that my address book was also gone, no contacts, nothing. Just a blank calendar and the empty Tbird default address book. No menu options for getting Outlook contacts or calendar re-set up exist. I feel rather annoyed, is putting it mildly!

Fortunately the data is still there in my Outlook.com account. So not 100% angry.

Despite the fact that I am downloading emails from Outlook.com, plus sending replies and new ones, something has gone missing. I must therefore assume that TBsync 4.11 or Provider for Exchange ActiveSync 4.12 has decided to go on vacation.

Tbird is version 128.3.3esr (64-bit) No updates have been requested or installed for months. It just simply was working well and then decided not too!

Any ideas for a fix? Or do I remove everything and start a fresh setup

When using Detach to save an attachment document on my disk and save space, the attachment are properly saved, but the size of the message is not changed and the attachment is still in the message. I tried to use extension too, and that did the same. Is there any problem there?

Thunderbird 60.3.0 (64bit). Windows 7. I know it's an old version, but it has to stay that way. The program does not open PDF attachments. When I click on the attachment, nothing happens. It can only be saved to disk. I cannot change the program used to open PDF attachments in the options. I am attaching a photo.
