Thunderbird Community Forum

Hello,

I am running Thunderbird 128.3.0esr on Windows 11 as POP on gmail and having issues with junk mail. Items are being moved into the junk folder despite identifying them as not junk. I go into the junk folder, identify them as not junk, they move to inbox, and at some point Thunderbird moves them from inbox to junk. Nothing I do seems to prevent this from happening.

I decided to turn off junk detection. Attached are screen shots. However, the problem still occurs. Mail in my inbox move to junk without me doing anything.

Help!

Thanks, Art

When I send emails, some go to my trash folder and not my sent folder.

I have no way to tell if the email was actually sent out.

I have tried resetting we are updated I cant find anything on the internet or youtube

this is now a recurring event and need to get this figured out as this is affecting my business.

I just run into a weird bug in version 102.9.1 (yes I still use this for a reason).

I have some Alias email addresses, that is, on my Linux mail server they get re-directed to my main email address. However, when I *reply* to such an email address, Thunderbird swaps the From and To (and Reply-to) addresses, and send the email back to myself, from the From address the person who send the email to me in the first place. This is really bad.

So it seems when the email address does not exist in Thunderbird itself (as it is a redirected Alias) Thunderbird gets completely confused and mixes everything up?

In this case, my actual email address is bk@bart.gen.nz The alias is bart2@bart.gen.nz

When I click 'reply' it sets to TO address to bart2@bart.gen.nz, instead of the Reply-To "info@sartrack.nz", and the FROM address to "info@sartrack.nz". How is that possible? See original incoming email below.

An identical email but directed to my actual email addres, and the Reply works normally.

Thunderbird sometimes deletes more than one email when I try to delete just one. The system will delete the next one or two below it which is very frustrating. Is there a way to fix this?

Everytime I try to open thunderbird to view my emails, it requests my password.... then asks again and again reoccuring and still does not work I have uninstalled the program and reinstalled it yet it has just done the very same thing

I have a suggestion or rather a complaint about control V text into an email message. The spacing between lines is too compressed when a picture is also sent. See image below...

both my wife and I use TB on each of our machines mine is Windows 10 hers Windows 11, It has been fine for a while, but her machine sometimes shows a blank email that is fine on mine, by highlighting the folder and right-clicking and selecting folder properties and selecting repair folder this has resolved her issue.

Now however she has blank emails again, when selecting folder properties nothing happens no dialogue window appears, from the edit drop-down menu you can normally select folder properties as well but that option is not even there.

when she does right-click she has options which are from other drop-down menus as though the whole menu system has become corrupted. is there a solution to this or do I need to reinstall, if I do how do I keep all of her current emails and archives which go back about 15 years?

both on version 128.3.0esr (32-bit)

Hi all,

as per subject, with Thunderbird 128.3.0esr in Multiweek and Month calendar views I can't move elsewhere an event with drag & drop, while I can do it in Day and Week views: am I missing anything?

Many thanks

Hi,

we found such an oddity. We use a PGP key linked to the mageo.cz domain (the key is for addresses <somebody>@mageo.cz). Recently, importing a key in Thunderbird takes a very long time (the search on the keyserver is unreasonably long (tens of seconds) both when the key exists and when it does not exist). It seems to be some kind of anomaly only for this domain. For other domains, searching/importing the key is fast. A direct inquiry (through the www interface of the Hagrid keyserver) is dealt with promptly. The problem concerns only the search for the key via Thunderbird and only the mageo.cz domain

Thanks for the check/fix! Mira Krejci

I am a new user of Thunderbird. I have 4 email accounts. I am receiving multiple copies of emails both on my desktop and also on K-9 on my phone.

From reading the various entries on this support site I note this is a known problem. I have not found any posts that offer a solution.

Is there a solution? Do I need to run diagnostics to clarify my issue if so what diagnostics?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Mike Duffy

The last emails that I have received through you are dated September 24th. Why have none been received since please? I am receiving messages through other sources.

Hi, I've used thunderbird (now 128.3.0esr)/calendar for years on my NUC7 running linux (now 22.04.5 LTS) with no problems.

Within the last couple of days, however, I no longer seem to be able to "drag-and-drop" events or tasks from one day to another. I can use the mouse to select/delete/etc an event or tasks, but I can't seem to move them with the mouse -- I need to "edit" the events. Is this a known issue?

Any help appreciated -- I haven't been able to find anything about this with web searches.

Hello,

My client has a specific problem with Thunderbird, when he does something with mail for example moving it to a certain folder or deleting one, all emails disappear, then when he restart the app all emails show up again and that mail is not deleted/moved, I tried all of the suggestions in the attachment and problem sometimes disappear for 1-2hrs but always occurs again. Also Thunderbird generated 50+ Inbox folders by itself and it keeps making them all alone. I assume the problem is with some corrupted file but his thunderbird backup is about 50GB and he needs it all to be imported. It really drives me crazy.

Thank you in advance for your support, Hope we will solve this issue.

I want to change settings in Thunderbird. Vivaldi 6.9.3447.51 (Stable channel) (64-bit) Revision 182bbf0e4fdf8cd7876d2b24819fde3147f9af97 OS Windows 10 Version 22H2 (Build 19045.4894)

I tried all the other options in drop down menus all over and they all come up. But clicking on settings does nothing. I even went into account settings and tried clicking on Thunderbird Settings and it does nothing there also. Can I reinstall over the existing program without losing anything to try and see if that helps and fixes the problem?

You can help by going back to the old format. The new format makes it more time-consuming to delete unneeded messages because the screen shows only a small number of messages at a time. Also, the smaller print is less user-friendly.

I tried changing the authentication method to OAUTH2 for my Outlook live mail account (POP). For that, I had to change the server name to office365.com. After restarting Thunderbird, I was able to download new messages but all the old messages already stored in Thunderbird disappeared, even though Thunderbird still shows the same old Local Directory as being used.

How do I change the authentication to OAUTH2 & get my old messages back?

If I delete & again create the Outlook live account, would it effect my old mails/filters ?

I have Thunderbird V115.15 in Windows 7. Last week it stopped working correctly. Now if it starts a download from gmail it fails saying the account is being accessed by something else (but it isn't). Then when it does try to download the messages I either get 3 to 10 copies of every message or every message is blank and from a blank sender. Right now it is reporting 542 messages being downloaded but all are empty with no from info and those messages are from a week ago.

I am pulling my hair out trying to get this back to functioning!

Thank you

TB latest version on MacOS latest version TB has option to mark messages as read if it determines them to be junk this does NOT work. It puts them in junk folder but keeps them as unread. very inconvenient... any solutions? thanks (attached)
