I am using T-Bird 128.5.1esr 64-bit on Win 11, but this problem has existed for a while. Nothing will be displayed if I have the folder checked to show all mail. See screenshot. This is occurring in several folders, not all folders. Unread mail will display. I have tried repairing the folders.

I've been using Thunderbird for years with multiple google accounts on both Windows and Linux machines, no issues. On my main Windows computer one of the accounts started asking for authorization on a regular basis 2-3 months ago. I deleted the account, hoping to fix the issue, but when trying to add it back, I am stuck with this persistent issue:

- I get to the stage Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your google account.
- When I click Allow, instead of finishing the setup, it brings another popup window: Authentication required - Mozilla Thunderbird.
- No matter what I enter there (full gmail address, just the gmail name etc), it's not accepted, and the same window pops up again and again.

I tried to reinstall Thunderbird a couple of times, and also deleted all files inside C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Thunderbird and C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird . No change.

The issue affects only this particular computer, only this particular gmail account. All other gmail accounts work fine on this computer, and on my other computers (Linux and Widnows ones) all gmail accounts work fine, including the one which I am struggling with on the first computer.

There seems to be some caching going one which cannot be defeated by uninstalling Thunderbird and deleting the two C:\Users\xxx\AppData\*\Thunderbird folders. Where else can it be stored? Could it be Windows registry file?

Thank you in advance.

It seems that ever since my Thunderbird auto-updated to 128.5.1, sending messages with attachments is VERY slow. I just sent a client an email with a 6.9 MB attachment and it took over 2 minutes to send. A few weeks ago, that would have gotten sent in seconds. I tried cleaning out my Inbox and Sent box by moving most of the messages to local folders, but no change. Any thoughts? Anyone else having this issue?

The HTML isn't displaying properly here. Is there a setting to do this in the threaded view?

Also, is there a setting to be able to click on these "threaded" snippets to expand them to the whole message? Thanks!

I am trying to set up a shared calendar that all the employees in my office can access and add to on their own computers, but I am having trouble doing so. Ideally, I would like this on our network to be easily used. At some point, we will also need to be able to access it on our cell phones. How do we do this?

Bonjour,

Mes messageries étant bloquées j'ai suivi le conseil de supprimer mes comptes. A présent je ne peux pas entrer de nouveaux mots de passe et les messageries ne fonctionnent plus.

Hi iam using thunderbird for sooooo many years maybe 15 i dont remember. BUT lately it makes me crazy. If i am trying to fing some email i am using search area in the top of the app. And it will find nothing. Even if i know there is email from person who i am searching for. I will type just few letters or half od the email name and it will find nothning. To be able to find email i have to go online google mail web and search over there.

Why is it like this?

I have tried to install Thunderbird multiple times on my Windows 11 PC. Everytime I try to import my Outlook files it locks up at 33%. How can i resolve this issue? Thank you.

Dear Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am experiencing a significant slowdown in email synchronization in Thunderbird. Emails take a noticeably long time to appear after clicking, and the overall syncing process is extremely slow across all folders.

The problem began on Friday, December 6th, following my use of the "Repair" button on the Inbox (8.9GB) and Sent (10.7GB) folders. After initiating the repair for the Sent folder, synchronization across all folders (Inbox, Sent, Spam, etc.) slowed down considerably.

Already done: Checked "All Mail" on Google IMAP: The folder does not appear in IMAP. Troubleshoot Mode: Attempted, but it did not resolve the issue. Reinstalled Thunderbird: Uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird on my Mac, but the problem persists.

The issue seems isolated to Thunderbird and does not impact my Mac’s overall performance, memory usage, or speed. The synchronization delay affects only Thunderbird, while other applications function normally. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue and restore normal synchronization performance.

Thank you in advance for your support!

Hello,

my old laptop SSD crashed and I had to re-install Thunderbird. It took a few days to do so, in this time I switched from Windows 10 to Linux Mint.

After an import of a (luckily fresh) backup into the new Thunderbird installation, it don't receive messages between 02. December 2024 and 10. December 2024. I can find them via Webmailer (strato.de), but if I click on "Receive new mails" in Thunderbird, there are "no new messages" in its oppinion.

But it is possible to send me a new Mail to the given address, that will be received immediatly.

What can I do to get these E-Mails of the given date range?

Regards Tim

I use the Thunderbird add ons "mail merge" and "send later" to create mass mailings with individual salutations etc. Now I also want to send an automatic follow-up to these mailings. However, only to the people who didn't answer to the first mailing should receive a follow-up. Is it possible to automatize this process with Thunderbird? Or is there maybe an add on I can use for that? Right now I have to check every mail individually for replies and answer one after another by hand. That takes a lot of time and there has to be a solution for that. Can you guys help me with that? Thank you so much in advance!

Somewhere in between the latest Thunderbird update and me switching broadband providers from Virgin to Sky and back to Virgin again, all in the space of about a week, this problem has developed with sending emails.

At first when i switched from Virgin, I got a message that my NTL email address would no longer work after 90 days, as it was owned by Virgin. Each time I wanted to send from my NTL account I got a pop-up message asking me (Think I recall correctly) to insert my NTL password. I ignored it and switched my sending email address to my gmail email account. Now I find difficulty sending both in Gmail and in Virgin, sometimes having to wait several minutes for the email to go, sometimes it not going at all, other times waiting for a copy, then occasionally "can't copy to the "sent" folder so save in "Local Folder".

I would be grateful for advice how to revert to the previous excellent service i always had with Thunderbird.

Hello, The description of the old add-on, which is unfortunately no longer compatible, says it all: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/auto-save-drafts-folders/

Case 2: You are using Gmail IMAP. Gmail automatically copies deleted emails to the trash folder. This means that if you took your time writing an email, there would be multiple copies of the draft in your Trash folder when you got done. One for each time auto save ran.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this in TB >128?

Thank you

My mother has an iPrimus email address which she accesses through Thunderbird. Today, she noticed a large chunk of her emails had disappeared out of the blue. IPrimus couldn't find the issue or locate the missing emails and were under the impression it was a Thunderbird - third-party- issue. Can anyone please step me through how to retrieve emails or reset activity? Is there also a direct line with Thunderbird to speak with?

Lately I've noticed that e-mails aren't always coming through in Thunderbird.

They aren't in the junk folder either; but when I log in to outlook webmail - I have an outlook.com address - I find that some (but not all) of the messages have come through, either into the inbox or junk folders.

Any suggestions?
