I've Thunderbird installed after it was deinstalled by a fail installation routine. On yesterday during this new install thunderbird has recovert the mails but only up to siste month May. The account on gmail isn't available completely.

Is there a possibility to try a completely recovery again.

This is an Ubuntu /Oracular OS. koffie

restoring email in thunderbird has stopped with mai 2024

What do you understand by "restoring" email? Recover lost email? Recover deleted mail? Download email?

Send Later release notes recommends "configure Thunderbird to store your drafts under Local Folders rather than in your IMAP account" to avoid a bug.

How do I do that?

Open in Conversation no longer an option in Thunderbird 128.5.2esr. The shortcut, shift control O, does not work anymore either.

Is there an add-on that will restore this essential bit of functionality?

I have set a "Filter Rule" to forward any email with match to another folder. The issue is those email are also showing up in my inbox. I only need these in the "Moved Folder".

Since updating Thunderbird lately to 128.3.3esr (64-bit), "Open in conversation" is grayed out, SHIFT+CTRL+O shortcut also doesn't work. There is a small chance it happened on a previous update, I'm not sure. This function is something I use regularly so this bothers me greatly. I tried rebuilding the global database according to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database with no luck - the problem persists. The file now has 1,18 MB, I'm quite certain it was significantly larger before. The problem occurs in all accounts I have and it worked on all of them before. Threading itself works properly if I go to View>Sort by>Threaded so the messages are recognized as threads properly.

Thunderbird has been working fine for years, and a few days ago I went to check email and the program only cycles and won't respond, I've done the regular things, like restart the modem, computer and redownload the program. I have windows 11 home, on a laptop, and thunderbird has about 100 saved messages.

As of 8am Sunday 12/22/2024 Thunderbird stopped retrieving email from my email accounts. These are @cox.net accounts that Cox transferred to Yahoo many months ago. I logged into Yahoo Email and my mail is there. I have not made any changes. The last email I got via Thunderbird was time stamped 7:59am.

Thunderbird was open when my Ubuntu Unity 24.04.1 LTS system abruptly powered off. When I restarted the system, Thunderbird first downloaded a ton of duplicate Emails from pop.gmail.com. Once I cleared those out, Thunderbird now times out attempting to reconnect. I am running the .deb (not the snap) version of Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit). I'm sure something got corrupted and I'd like to get that straightened out. Thanks in advance.

By the way, I do have both the Cardbook and GCalTab addons which read my contacts and calendar entries from Google just fine. Only the Gmail portion is FUBAR.

Hi, Thunderbird was working fine in the morning, but later in the day, it suddenly stopped downloading messages from my Hotmail inbox and asked for my password again. When I entered my password, I got the following error message:

"Sending of password for user mazyarm@hotmail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop-mail.outlook.com responded: Authentication failure: unknown user name or bad password."

Thunderbird won't sign in to check emails. I also get the message:

"Login to server pop-mail.outlook.com with username mazyarm@hotmail.com failed."

And those are the messages I now get whenever I click on the Get Messages button. However, I am still able to access my Hotmail account directly using the Firefox web browser, so I know that my username and password are not the problem.

Does anyone know what's going on? How do I solve this problem? Thank you, Maz

Version 128.5.2esr / Mac OS 15.2 I've been using Thunderbird since 2006 and never had this problem before. The folders in one of my three accounts (iCloud) have suddenly become very unstable and disappear. I can restore them by checking the individual folders in Subscribe. They're OK at the moment, but I've had to restore them twice in the past couple of hours.

I can't seem to change the color of text within an email. I used to be able to do it easily, but now, following the same steps I have always used, the text remains black. I have read other posts on this problem and have tried this recommended by sfhowes:

1. sfhowes 7/19/24: 'Make sure you don't have 'Always' for 'Override the colours...' in Settings/General/Language & Appearance, Colours (see picture). Mine is set to "never" (see screenshot attached)

Here's how I am trying to change the color:

1. Highlight the text in the email 2. Select "Format"/"Text Color" from the toolbar menu 3. This brings up a small popup titled "Text Color". (see second screenshot). 4. I click on the (black) box to the right of the words "Choose a color". This brings up a larger popup titled "Choose a Color" (see 3rd screenshot) 5. I click on the color to which I want to change the text. I click "okay" on the smaller popup and then close the larger popup using the red circle in the upper left corner of the larger popup. (I do not have an "okay" button on the larger popup.)

However, the text remains black, Any suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help.

I get email on both my lap top and cell phone. Have not pulled down my email on the lap top for a while. The last emails I see are dated 11/14/24. Did something change? Did I miss an email from Thunderbird? With so much garbage coming through every day, it's easy to miss somethink unusual!

I changed computers and in order to make sure I could use TB on the new one, I updated the old computer from 120-something to 128.5.2, and then installed 128.5.2 on the new one as well. The transfer went okay - once I saw the video that explains how to do it - but when I sat down to write an R-T-L email, it didn't automatically R-T-L, and when I looked for the "switch-direction" button I was used to in the old TB, it wasn't there! I can write in Hebrew, (or Arabic), but I can't R-T-L the text. HELP? HELP! Thank you

I have the filter snapshotted below When I receive an email which matches one or more of the tests, the recipent of the 'forward to' gets about 20 copies of the incomog mail. I am on imap win 11 23H2 T'bird is 128.5.2esr (64-bit). fix please!

I'm trying to put TB on a new computer. I can receive email on the new computer, but I can't send. It keeps asking me for a new password. I enter the password and tell it to remember it, but it just keeps asking for the new password. I'm practically certain that I'm entering the right PW.

What can I do to fix this.

Hi,

I have my messages in IMAP folders stored in maildir format. I know how to make that happen.

I cannot find a way to have messages in local folders stored in maildir format.

Is there a way?

Rick

Basically the title. With TB closed when there were no tabs open, I have located the profiles on the win10 PC in c:\users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird and copied said folder onto a USB stick, then pasted it from the USB stick into the same location on the target (win11) PC (and apparently according to the progress panel everything was pasted as it should). On the target PC, Thunderbird does open, but in the default account definition tab (and creates a default-esr profile along the way), but does not find the profiles I copied onto the target PC. I really need the existing mails and folder structure. Thanks in advance!
