Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi guys, yesterday after trying to search for a message on my local folders suddenly all the messages dissapeared, the folder structure remains but the messages stored on them are gone. I've checked if it was a hard disk problem but it's OK, I ran a recovery software but couldn't find any message. I had 5 years of mail stored on local folders and now are lost. I've found in forums the same problems with Thunderbird v115.15.0. Is any way to recover the messages?

I would appreciate any help with this.

With the recent "drive" by microsoft to "2 step auth" (ie.oauth2) and its final steps of implementation, my older imac (ios 10.11) which was working with thunderbird (78.14.0 (64-bit)) now can not handle my outlook email account. During the process and adding back the account, you jump thru most of the setup and authorizing steps but it ultimately fails with the following

"AADSTS7000112: Application '08162f7c-0fd2-4200-a84a-f25a4db0b584'(Thunderbird) is disabled."

I guess there is some older version checks that have diabled this app??????

I am not able to update to any newer tbird version because of the "dated" imac. Is it possible to cause the app to be enabled somewhere in azure or whereever this check is done?

I know my system is old but so am I ... :-) Any guidance on how to get this working again would me much appreciated . I tried both "pop and "imap" settings but both resulted in the same error.

I do not have any problem sending messages that I originate, but when I reply to a received email the message that I send appears in my inbox, but does not get sent to the intended recipient. Can you suggest a solution to that problem?

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

Random Incoming messages get automatically sent to Trash after they have been read. The message can be moved back to Inbox but they automatically move back to Trash. How do I prevent this?

Hi In the last month or so, this has started happening.

I will open a message in my inbox. Maybe I have done a search for messages from a particular person. I open the message. When I close it, the in boxes for both of my email account suddenly say NO MESSAGE FOUND.

If I close and re-open the program, all my messages are there. But when I get the NO MESSAGE FOUND in the sapec where my emails shou;ld be - the same message appears for every folder I open.

Whats this all about?

When viewers submit a form on our website, the incoming email usually appears as subject 'quote request' with their name as the 'correspondent'. But since 2 days ago every 'quote request' is showing the same name as 'correspondent', the name of another customer we have been emailing back and forth with. He was originally a 'quote request' from about 4 or 5 months ago. It has changed to this name on every quote request email we have on the system, even going back 12 months! I know this is not a TB problem because it has only happened on our laptop, all the quote requests are still showing correct names on TB on our PC. So, it would appear that we have inadvertently clicked on something. Any ideas what we could have done wrong and, more importantly, how we can undo it? thanks Chris

Hello from Croatia! When using the "Quick Filter Bar" search, the older version of Thunderbird before the big update had a progress spinner which indicated the search is still in progress when, and that spinner is missing now. With a lot of emails in folders, it would help a lot to have this spinner back. Screenshot with previous location of spinner attached. Thanks for reading! Danijel

I am running thunderbird over an ssh -Y connection on my local LAN. The application runs with no visible (to me) problems, other than those reported in the console window. So, when it starts, it gives some GFX1/glxtest messages which I assume come from the fact that it runs remotely and some numbers reported to glxtest do not make sense (thunderbird runs on a dual GPU laptop, with the nvidia card enabled in performance mode). Then it says it cannot deduce the GPU vendor but I still get normal (if not a bit slow) GUI output.

Then I get console errors mostly from the calendar, which have to do with my google account, but the most worrying one is this one: "Assert failed: Calendar manager initialised calendars before loadCalendarComponent ran on the first 3pane window. This should not happen.\n "

Are they important and can I do something about it? (Screenshot attached)

Thanks for your time!

hi

Since the big upgrade in July(?), two things happen:

1. When I open Thunderbird, it shows "No messages found" before it loads my folders. 2. More frustratingly, after I send a message, an hourglass sign appears and Thunderbird hangs for about 30 seconds, during which I can't do anything.

Neither of these had been an issue before the upgrade. I keep checking for new updates in the hope that these will be fixed, but so far the problems have persisted. I am using POP and have the most up to date version of Thunderbird. Tried to run it in Troubleshoot mode - the problems are still there. Please help resolve this.

I have 2 email accounts on Thunderbird, both with the same ISP. I can get messages delivered to the inbox of my main account but Thunderbird no longer searches the server for messages on the secondary account. Both accounts are set up in Thunderbird with identical settings.

I have been online and read the support suggestions on how to resolve this but it hasn't worked. Support suggested it may be that the password has changed and advised me to remove the password from settings and next time I open Thunderbird I will be asked for my password. This did not happen. I removed the password from the account which is not downloading to my inbox and when I reopened Thunderbird I was not asked for the new password. However I can send emails from this secondary account.

I have checked webmail and there are definitely messages waiting there to download.

My main Thunderbird email (the one that is downloading messages to my inbox) is aparbury@comcen.com.au not the one showing on this log in.

I've been using Thunderbird for years on macOS with no problems. All of a sudden, as of yesterday, I can't create new folders and subfolders. I also can't rename folders. The software is up to date (128.2.3esr (64-bit)). The laptop is running macOS Sonoma v 14.6.1. I've tried restarting Thunderbird, restarting the laptop, and Googling for an answer, of course. I've also tried opening Troubleshoot Mode, that didn't make a difference. I probably have several hundred folders - it's a work account and each client has to have their own subfolder. I can't seem to find anything that says there is a limit to the number of folders, and in any event that wouldn't explain the inability to rename folders. Thunderbird is working fine otherwise.

None of the topics in the drop down I was given are relevant to my question, which is about the Calendar in Thunderbird 115.12.2, on Windows 10.

When I edit an event or create a new one in the Calendar, the height of the Description window is ridiculously small, as shown in the attached screen capture. It only displays a couple of lines of text whereas my descriptions are usually far longer than that. So I always have to resize the window and TB doesn't "remember" my preferred window height, so I have to resize it every single time I create or edit an event.

Is there any workaround for this, to set the default height of the Edit Event window to a larger height than Thunderbird's default?

Yesterday, my work email showed all the folders associated with my email: Inbox, Sent, Drafts, etc. Today, all that shows is Inbox and Deleted Items. How can I regain access to those missing folders?

I have been signed out of email since 25/09/24. The old password was not accepted. I seem to be able to change the password but that is not accepted iether. This is on an Acer PC. I am able to sign in to emails with the new password on my android phone which has Gmail, but also unable to sign in on my ipad.

Thunderbird 128.2.3esr on my Windows 11 desktop is not downloading new email and unable to 'copying message to sent folder'. I first noticed this the morning of 9/30/24, unaware of any settings or updates that occurred over the weekend that would effect this. I am able to send emails.

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.

I keep getting this pop up message when I click on my inbox folder. I have two other email accounts, and they are working. I have compared the settings for the account that is not working, with the accounts that are working, and they are the same. The account that is not working is my main concern. Sure would like to get it working again. Any suggestions? Thank you if you can help!

I'm using Thunderbird 128.2.3esr (64-bit) on Windows 11. Some messages appear as empty in Thunderbird, whereas they appear normal in my webmail. On example is a notification email from Google Sheets. I have enclosed a snapshot. Some other messages look perfectly normal, but I could not figure out the commonality between the messages that cannot be displayed.
