Forum zhromadźenstwa Thunderbird

hello, most probably we went way over what's supposed to be as regards thunderbird folders. one of these folders (with some 5,7 Gb content) finally sort of lost all its subfolders, sub-subfolders and emails. the files are there on the disk, but Thunderbird can't see them anymore. I tried to fix it with the available button, but after 8 hours it was still stuck at the very first step (don't know if there are more, really). also I searched online and found some interesting solutions, among which ne pointed at removing the panacea.dat e global-messages-db.sqlite files in order to force Thunderbird and rebuild its index. I am running v 115 though and there's no panacea.dat here. I wonder if there is any new procedure to get the same result... or else, whatever viable solution that could make me recover the former folders structure. of course, the first thing I would do after recovering would be to simplify the structure and/or reorganise in order for the folders to be less heavy, according to any suggestions of yours... that would be more than welcome :) thanks, kind regards

128.6.0esr (64-bit):

Have in the past received occasional e-messages where I needed to go to a file-sharing site to open pix. That is the extent of my understanding of file-sharing, how to file-share my e-message with the .mp4 files attached, etc., etc.

PC here; Windows 10.

So how can I file-share my message with .mp4 attachments?

Thank you. Appreciated.

The last few days I am unable to send emails as I get an error message which said there is a SMTP error - I have checked it & cannot see what the problem is

I was also unable to receive emails for a day or two but that has now corrected itself

Have used Thunderbird for many years and would like to continue but this problem makes it impossible

I would like to donate but don't want to when this problem exists as it makes it un-useable

Any help much appreciated............Elizabeth

opening mail results in 'flashing' and not being able to see it. Headers sometimes do not match body of mail. Repaired folders several times, ran troubleshooter, uninstalled/reinstalled. Still happens. Flashes so fast you can sort of see the body, but it won't actually download. Took 10 tries to grab email # code to sign in here.

The messages are all still there, but nothing remains that may be selected.

My workaround is to type a period (.) in the search bar and Filter messages by: Sender. Since every sender's email address contains a period in it, I'm able to see the entirety of the inbox contents again.

Still, it's a pain in the butt!

I down loader Thunderbird v128.5.2esr. Got me emails importing from MS live mail. I cannot move, copy or delete messages in the subfolders in the local folder. Try (move to) and (copy to), also, try (mover folder add-on) and (mover messages add-on).

Is there a setting I am missing in the Thunderbird settings or is there something else going on?

Thunderbird supports multiple file formats to import contact lists. How do I import profile images of contact list? .vcf files are supposed to support image data, but thunderbird does not seem to detect that.

I am experiencing a symptom sometimes when I delete a message in the Thunderbord email client (in any folder), all messages disappearing from all accounts in the entire Thunderbird including Inbox, Drafts, Trash, Sent and everything else. All folders become empty. The messages are not deleted, just not showing. Using the Trash icon of Thunderbird or pressing the delete key are the same. There is no way to display the messages again except to close and re-open Thunderbird. After that, everything return to normal. This does not always happen, about 75% of time. Thunderbird version is 128.6.0esr (64-bit), Windows 11 but the same also happened on previous versions and Windows 10.

Like the title says, I am getting some emails that move from Unified Inbox to an IMAP subfolder of account X, but remain visible in the UNIFIED Inbox.

First uploaded image shows 3 IMAP accounts as they appear in Thunderbird, second uploaded image shows how subfolders appear in IMAP account X (the third account in Thunderbird).

Mail is properly arriving in the 3rd account and shows up in both IMAP and Unified Inboxes, but only sometimes (and not with specific senders) can be moved into the 3rd account subfolder.

They are correctly removed from the IMAP Inbox but remain visible in the UNIFIED inbox and are found when I search in the UNIFIED inbox but not in the IMAP Inbox.

The messages persist in the UNIFIED Inbox through multiple restarts of Thunderbird and my PC, and some email continues to arrive in the 3rd account and cam be moved as expected, then another arrives that cannot be removed.

Strangely, if I delete the mail from the UNIFIED inbox, it is deleted both there and in the subfolder, so it appears something is making the display of the UNIFIED inbox keep a link to the new location of the email.

Bleah!

Any body see anything similar? I read several older threads about move problems, but this seems different.

Thanks!

Thunderbird BETA 135.0b1 (64-bit) Probably not very interesting but: Windows 11 Home; 23H2; OS build 22631.4751; Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1055.0 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1195G7 @ 2.90GHz 2.92 16.0 GB (15.7 GB usable) 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Depuis 2 jours, je ne peux plus envoyer de courriel avec ma messagerie Thunderbird. J'ai tout essayé, rien ne fonctionne !!! je me suis créé un compte Gmail et la, tout va bien. Je vais donc quitter thunderbird et par la même occasion firefox. Merci mozilla 111

Mail is downloading to Thunderbird, but is not going to inbox. I can only see it if I search in the universal search tool, asking to see all the mail from today's date. I can't figure out where it's going! This is a new issue, after thousands of successful downloads from my domain.

I believe that since the update, I have not been able to access my emails or send emails. The password is not being recognized and I cannot receive or respond to my business emails.

I have email through AT&T, hosted by Yahoo, and have synched my calendar for years. It has now stopped enabling and updating. In calendar screen, grey ENABLE button now shows. Click it and I see a quick flash of items and instantly disappear. Nothing happens.

Select properties and the enable box is not checked. I can check it, click OK and again it won't enable. On my to do lists for this account, same issue. Click enable, it flashes the items and then they disappear. Won't stay enabled.

Contacts still sync so appears to be a caldav issue.

Was working fine, but stopped a few weeks ago. I can't find a solution. Help please.

Hi there, I set up a filter with action "Reply from Template". The template message looks to be okay and displayed normaly when sending directly. But if the message is sent using the filter, it shows a lot of unnecessery "text" and it is not displaying some of characters correctly. Any suggestions? Difference showed in images bellow.

Hi all, When I reply to an email after I click send, the email is somehow not sent to where it should be going but comes back to my inbox. If I select that incoming email, go to the Message menu, select Edit as a new message, and just send it straight away, it gets sent to where it should be and is put into the sent box as well. Is there something I've done wrong in the background, or is it a bug. Thanks in advance Steve

Hi,

  Thunderbird on Ubuntu for many years. Started from Ubuntu 20 or so it periodically stops receiving mails from pop yahoo account. Nothing described in community threads helps. It can be for month, two or three, then at some moment it starts receiving emails(nothing changed, even server not restarted, thunderbird keeps hanging not receiving emaiils) and receives for some period(can be couple of days or few weeks). after that it can stop receiving again and it hangs for long.
 This situation is for few years for now. last time it stopped receiving emails in mid of December. before this it was working fine for couple of months. 
 As nothing changes on my side I assume issue is on yahoo?

current release: Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS 128.6.0esr (64-bit)

 When not receiving emails I can see following in error log:

op3.server2.1: NetworkTimeoutError: a Network error occurred Pop3Client.sys.mjs:380:18

   _onError resource:///modules/Pop3Client.sys.mjs:380

pop3.server2.1: SecurityError info: Pop3Client.sys.mjs:422:20

   _onError resource:///modules/Pop3Client.sys.mjs:422

I am currently using Thunderbird (128.6.0esr) on a Mac with OS Sonoma (14.7.1). I have used Thunderbird for many years with a Gmail account on both Windows and Mac machines, and it has always worked well.

But a couple of days ago when I tried to open Thunderbird it went into some kind of loop. The MacOS spinning beach ball appeared and would not go away no matter what I did or how long I waited. The only way out was to Force Quit Thunderbird. Rebooting the Mac and trying again produced the same results.

I have logged into the Gmail account on the web and had no trouble accessing it. But every time (and I have made many attempts) I try to load Thunderbird the spinning beach ball appears again.

I cannot check any of the various settings that Help articles have suggested checking since Thunderbird will not load at all.

If anyone can suggest how to resolve my problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have been using the old Microsoft Calendar app on my laptop to manage my Google calendar which is also shared on my android phone, but the MS Calendar app no longer works after the latest Microsoft update. I decided to switch to using the calendar in Thunderbird since I already use it for email. But I get an error if I try to import a single calendar event from a .ics file.

I successfully shared my entire Google calendar read/write in Thunderbird and I can create new calendar events, so I know that it is writeable. But when I attempt to import a .ics file, I get an error saying "Import failed unexpectedly. more information may be available in the Error Console." I don't know how to view the Error Console, so I'm stuck. I can see that Thunderbird opens the .ics file and previews the contents just fine. But the last step of the import process fails.

Why won't Thunderbird import the calendar invite in a .ics file into the calendar from my Google account?
