Hi. I have created 2 subfolders in "Drafts", which ALSO turned into draft folders:

• The folder icons switched from the standard folder icon to the "Drafts" icon.
• The right-click context menu is reduced (just like for other special folders), e.g. the "delete" command is missing.

So how can I delete this misbehaving folder now ?

I doublechecked in my account manager and via config editor that the subfolder are NOT used as DRAFTS folder for any of my (POP3) accounts.

Thank you so much.

Hi. Same question as in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1226211  : How can I customize the TB's main menu ?

I would like to remove menu items, which I never use:

• for simplicity
• to avoid accidental deletion (e.g. "delete folder", "delete message", "delete mail marked as junk in folder", etc.)

many thanks!

All of our "read" emails, --from all of our accounts -- have suddenly disappeared. All of the folders and subfolders are still present. We still get new email, but as soon as we read it, it's gone. We have had these same email accounts for years and have not made any changes. In Account Settings --> Synchronization & Storage --> "don't delete any messages" is checked. "Read" messages are still on our server.

So, 1) Why did this happen? 2) Is there any way we can get our messages back in Thunderbird?

I wanted to view my full history but that option doesn't show. Using V130.0 464bit Under Privacy and Security I'm showing "Remember History" and the only other thing listed is to "Clear History". No option to view history. Any ideas?

I just noticed after an update today that the Mobile menu entry (with bookmarks from my mobile Firefox instances) no longer appears in the browser's Bookmarks menu. I can access them from the bookmark manager, but this change seems extraordinarily stupid and arbitrary and is a definite step backwards.

After auto update to 115.14.0 64 bit, Get Messages (from GMail) shows Inbox total rising and status shows 250 messages but no new messages appear. Each time I try to download messages the status shows the same number and totals increase by that amount. I've gone from 7000+ to almost 15000 trying various "solutions" i've found and tried. Last messages received were Sept 1st just before the update. Using GMail mail app (tremendously unacceptable) I'm able to view new messages but that app creates copious vacuum (S*KS). Background, I'm running a desktop on and currently updated Win 10 Pro with 400Gb free disk space and using No Thunderbird add-ins. As a long-time user of TB, this came as a big surprise and the only "solutions" I found even partially related were dated 4 or more years ago. These included: deleting certain profile files, disabling firewall, virus protection, and VPN. NoJoy! I'm almost to a point of backup, uninstall, re-install, and re-import but reluctant to do that because of 2 previously failed attempts to recover messages. If that is the only workable solution, please point me to an article that allows me to recover my previous message. Thanks in advance.

To whom it may concern, Not able to send emails using Windows 10 with Windows Defender as my virus and threat protection service. Attached is SMTP Server screenshot. Already tried two other recommended numbers as Port numbers and still was not able to send emails. Thanks in advance for any/all assistance. Tom

Having just re-installed Thunderbird I receive the following error message when trying to set up my gmail account, which had been working fine before

400. 

That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

The password is correct as I can login from my browser and I have easily setup my other email accounts - not gmail. Also have re-started PC and Thunderbird.

Help please, regards, Haydn

Since a recent TB update in August, the program now downloads previously-deleted messages from Gmail. TB downloads from the In folder (OKI), but also current messages that I sent to Trash folder (not OK).

Example: 50 new messages appear in the Gmail In folder. I delete 30 messages from the In folder, and they correctly move to the Trash folder, leaving 20 in the In folder.

I next launch TB on my Win10 PC and press F5 to begin the download. Until recently, I would get the remaining 20 messages and ONLY the 20. Now, TB downloads all 50, as if 30 were never deleted.

                                         NOTE:  I changed no settings at either end.

If I go into the Trash folder before downloading and delete today's trash, those messages are totally gone and won't download. But this was never necessary a few weeks ago.

If any reader had and fixed this annoying problem, please tell me how you did it.

On my computer Firefox ask for the master password every time at startup. On other computers in my family, Firefox only ask for the Master Password when accessing a site with a password. I tried : - to disable than reenable Master Password - start in SafeMode without success. How can I solve my issue ? Thanks in advance for your help

Helo team, I think I hit some key and firefox settings changed. I see squiggly characters in menu options, bookmarks etc.. Web pages load all right. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling. It did not help. Please see attached screenshots. I use a Mac M1 mini.

Hello, I have a problem with subfolders. I created a few on my account, but they are not visible. When I go to the email application on my phone (samsung email), they are visible. please help me with this problem

I just recently switched to Thunderbird and Libre Office to get rid of MS365. I am happy so far, if there wasn't one particular issue which I do not find a solution for:

I know how to sort messages with the newest on top, I know how to toggle the threaded view on and off. But I would like to use the threaded view and find it impossible to adjust a descending order within a thread. So I end up with the newest thread on top, but the thread headline shows the oldest message and if I unfold the thread it's in ascending order.

This is a major issue for me. To avoid overlooking incoming mails, I need to switch of the threaded view. Websearch didn't provide me a solution.
