Thunderbird 커뮤니티 포럼

I have seen many questions a bit like mine but they all refer to downloading emails. Mine is different: "The folder 'Trash on my@email.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again." It now happens on two different email addresses (one is POP one is IMAP). Trash seems otherwise to work and can be deleted. But still this alarm. MAS OS 15.1.1 (24B91) - latest Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit)

why do l have to click on inbox message twice so that it can open the message , this happens intermittently l have to go back and forth to mail address and then back to inbox message a couple of time before it can open inbox message

In Thunderbird I see two methods of accessing/editing SMTP settings for email accounts.

1. Using the "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" which displays all the email accounts in a list. You then select one and click "Edit" to view or edit it.

2. On each email account page there is an "Edit SMTP server" button. Click that to view or edit the SMTP settings for that account.

I'm seeing two problems:

1 - The settings made using #1 above don't carry over into what I see using #2 above.

2 - Using method #2 above, changing the SMTP settings for my newest email account also changes the settings (seen using #2 above) on one other email account. And vice-versa.

What could be causing this?

I thought there might be a problem with Thunderbird 133.0, so I attempted to install version 130 over it. I was told it was incompatible with version 133.0, so I uninstalled version 133.0 and installed version 130.

Since then, Lightning Calendar has been missing, even when I reinstalled version 133.0. The Events and Tasks tab is missing. Calendar does not appear in Add-ons and Themes. There is no trace of it anywhere. I uninstalled Tbird, deleted all of the folders for it and reinstalled Tbird, again. No luck.

I can start Thunderbird but it always crashes very shortly after startup (within about 30 seconds). Here is a crash report:

bp-e6e2f348-5338-458f-a03e-c03b70241224

I have started TB in safe mode, started Windows in safe mode, reinstalled, tried clearing startup cache. Nothing is working. Thanks for your help,

Fix it. I use Google Calendar integration. When a calendar item pops up a notification, Thunderbird stops retrieving email until I acknowledge it. This is a nuisance when I'm away from my machine for any length of time and I rely on Thunderbird to process incoming emails.

Thanks.

Just wondering why when I organize/delete my emails in TB (have several accounts in there) my profile size does not go down but always up? Should I be refreshing or something like that?

''''Simply put, none of the export methods for exporting and .ics file work.'''' Events and Tasks<Export is a dead end. Right clicking the calendar in the left pane and choosing Export doesn't work either. </p>

Thunderbird 128.5.2esr

i'm using:

Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit) Kubuntu 24.04 KDE Plasma 5.115.0 Qt 5.15.13

when i get attached files, like .jpg, .png, or .pdf, i can see that the message has an attached file, but thunderbird no longer opens those files, or knows how to make other applications, like okular, gwenview, or inkscape open them. this USED TO BE a standard feature.

1. receive an attached file: FILE-NAME.pdf

at the bottom of the window is a bar that says "1 attachment: FILE-NAME.pdf 3.8 kB"

2. click on FILE-NAME.pdf

EXPECTED RESULT: FILE-NAME.pdf opens in okular

ACTUAL RESULT: nothing

3. alternate-click on FILE-NAME.pdf and choose "Open" from the context menu

EXPECTED RESULT: FILE-NAME.pdf opens in okular

ACTUAL RESULT: nothing

4. alternate-click on FILE-NAME.pdf and choose "Save as..." from the context menu, and save the file somewhere obvious.

5. navigate to somewhere obvious, and open the file

RESULT: FILE-NAME.pdf opens

i looked at "Settings -> General -> Files & Attachments" and confirmed that "Portable Document Format (PDF)" is set to "Use okular". i also deleted, and re-added "Portable Document Format (PDF)" from "Settings -> General -> Files & Attachments" with no change in the above reported behaviour.

Hello! I recently got the update to Thunderbird 128 on my PopOS laptop via sudo apt update/upgrade. I don't know what the previous version was. Since the update, Thunderbird will spike my CPU to 120 - 140% (per command-line "top") if I have an interaction with it (e.g. reading and then deleting an email that was received) after the program has been sitting idle for several minutes. After a few minutes of loud fans, things calm down again so I presume Thunderbird is doing some sort of maintenance routine that completes successfully.

I do not have the global search index thing turned on. I did not change the default mailbox db idle time. I do have rather large mailboxes that are synced via SMTP, from three different providers. There are dozens of folders (not hundreds) containing thousands if messages (but not tens of thousands). Hopefully that gives an idea of scale .. I don't have a massive overload of untended email history but I do have a quantity of historical emails that the system has to deal with.

I followed the excellent directions online to obtain a profile during one of these high-cpu sessions. It is available at https://share.firefox.dev/4dAmyAz

Please let me know if there is anything further I can do to help diagnose this issue, such as generating more specific profiles. The high-cpu state is a pretty common occurrance now.

About a month ago I began the process of upgrading from W10 to W11. In the process, several problems happened. One of the problems was with Firefox. After reading and trying many suggestions from the Mozilla site, as well as several other sites, and having no success, I posted my problem on this Mozilla support site and hope that there was someone who could help. There was. After several days of exchanging messages (suggestions, instructions and results - mostly about Profile), Firefox returned.

The other major problem is Thunderbird. I have downloaded a current version (128.5.2esr). I have run it twice and, each time, email was downloaded. So that part seems to be working. What doesn’t appear are the settings I have used and message folders I have created over several years. I suspect that the problems are Profile related.

Starting from Help in the Thunderbird menu, then Troubleshooting Information, then Application Basics, I see Profile Folder. On that line is a button labeled Open Folder followed by (Local Drive). I click Open Folder and File Explorer opens to a folder named ab3xaztm.default-esr. It shows that the folder contains 59 items, including 10 subfolders. All files and folders show a December date.

Following the path C:\Users\rsuth\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\, in addition to ab3x…, there is another folder nlys3gkl.default that contains only 1 file, times.json.

Because of my earlier struggle – and eventual win – with the Firefox problem, I think that the Thunderbird problem might also be fixed in a similar way: Profile.

Slightly before the upgrading from W10 to W11, I made a copy of my Thunderbird folder. I think if I replace the currently active Thunderbird folder with the one I have saved, my Thunderbird problem may be over. However, I’m not certain that will happen and I’m not certain about the specific steps to take to make the replacement. (With my Firefox issue, there were a couple of small important steps I had to take to make it work, and those steps were explained to me by the person who helped me with my Firefox problem. So, after all these words, can someone point me in the direction to solve my Thunderbird problem?

Thanks for reading.

Just what the subject line says. Go looking for something and Search doesn't find it. Even after I remember the email and find it, Search does not find it.

Why is this? It is un-usable, actually as it happens all the time.

For instance, putting in a company name like "walmart.com" will find some but not all the emails with walmart.com and certainly not the most recent ones specifically with a person's name.

Recently forced to update MAC OS to Big Sur, then Thunderbird stopped connecting. Thunderbird asks for a password that i enter correctly (works when directly logging into Gandi) but will not accept. No option on entering user name, just password. Contact@kencorm.org

Also, I payed for years and I'm getting pay or account will close 25 Jan 2025...

Thank you, Ken Cormier

One of my email addresses, which I haven´t used for a month or so, has stopped sending messages. I am told to check my SMTP settings. Incoming messages are being received. The server is smtp.office365.com I am using port 587, as recommended by the Outlook site. I was using 465. I have restarted the pc since making the change. The email address is ....@outlook.com Settings are: SSL/TLS OAuth2

I am using WIndows11

I cant find any useful advice on the Outlook site.

Any suggestions ?

Thunderbird won't remember where it was last time (windows 10 and 11). Every time I open it, it has shifted and resized a bit from the last time. It's not one monitor to another or even the other side of one screen, but it's always slightly higher or lower, slightly smaller or larger... It's just driving me nuts because everything else is perfectly positioned. Note that I am using fancy zones to do this placement, but everything else works fine.

I am having a problem syncing my Thunderbird folders with iCloud. Every time I have to explicitly check that I want to subscribe to all IMAP folders in my iCloud account. Then after a short while a lot of folders get unsubscribed and I have to subscribe them again. I have experienced this instability with both Thunderbird and Betterbird as well as on Windows 10 and Pop_OS! 22.04. More people have reported the same issue, but no solutions have been shared:

• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1441368
• https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1444029

Does anyone know how can I fix this?

Impossible d'enregistrer mon compte "hotmail.com" dans thunderbird. "erreur identifiant ou mot de passe" alors que ceux ci sont justes (vérifiés sur le site outlook). Quelle solution ? Merci

This is a specific problem that started a few days ago. I sync between my Mac and my iPhone. It's worked perfectly for years, and still does so with two (iCloud, Gmail) of my three accounts. With the Thunderbird account, however, when I delete a message on my Mac, the message is not deleted on my phone. If I delete a message on my phone, sync works and the message is deleted on my Mac.
