Running Win10 - Thunderbird 128.5.2 My Thunderbird app is associated with 5 Gmail accounts. Configured to: IMAP Mail Server Port: 993 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication Method: OAuth2

Problem: When I launch Thunderbird and subsequently attempt to open a message in an Inbox, Thunderbird starts downloading over 400 messages. It attempts to download the same 400+ messages every time it's launched. Attempts to navigate within Thunderbird while the downloads occur result in "Thunderbird not responding" making the app useless.

Mitigation attempt: I've reinstalled Thunderbird from the Thunderbird site, but it did not fix the problem.

Anyone else have this problem? What's the fix?

Thank you for your reply.

hallo, ich kann mein zweites Email Konto nicht einrichten. Als Fehlermeldung erhalte ich die Antwort, dass das Passwort falsch ist. Das ist aber Quatsch, bei Telekom https://email.t-online.de funktioniert es. Grüße S. Kupp

Hope you can help I am getting repeated failures on Thunderbird 128.4.3esr (64-bit) Saving to Sent folder using IMAP the failures happen repeatedly on separate email addresses on separate domains

Luckily I have the option to SAVE each email to Local - Root directory/Sent-{email_address)

Sometime Thunderbird crashes and generates a Log file which gets sent to Support

Otherwise I have to re-start Thunderbird to get it to save again (Saving to Sent IMPA folder) Computer is Win10 The only add on is the British English Dictionary (Darmouth) from the Thunderbird Add ons

This is the latest Error Log from the error Console application

To whom it may concern

I have several email addresses and I'd like to place them in a neutral and safe haven. I read that Thunderbird is one, if not the best.

Any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

I've been (mostly happily until 2 yrs ago) with Eudora. My usage model is to keep all (saved) email locally (20 yrs archive), access via POP. Unfortunately, the evolution of HTML, iso character sets, etc has been forcing me to move on. I tried TB about 2 yrs ago and abandoned the project for lack of time and urgency. I'm trying again, but now very serious. Anyway, I set up an install and did basic tests - all ok. But I can't seem to find config options to customize. I found some option to set my mail store to a folder of my choice (away from the system root -- C:\ - i use windows 10-11.) to something like E:\docs\tb. It created inbox, trash etc. right there. My previous install attempt (2 yrs ago) created these in a subfolder named for the email account (eudora calls 'personalities'). I do want to use multiple accounts each in their own 'garden', not in the same inbox, outbox, etc.. I can't find where to configure this - I can't even find how to configure my earlier choice to store them on E:. What am I missing? On some settings for copies and folders, it offers (eg) Sent folder on <email account>. I presume this is particular to IMAP and not relevant to my current setup.

That's enough to get me started, but I would like to eventually migrate my Eudora archives to TB, so a pointer to docs on this would be appreciated.

Tnx, Tom

Thunderbird is our e-mail client. We have a number of e-mail addresses. On one of our computers we can receive but not send on one of our verizon.net e-mail accounts. All of the outgoing server information (except the username is the same for both accounts. When we try to send e-mail from the one account it just hangs and never sends (I eventually cancel sending). We are running Windows 11 Professional on the affected machine. Thunderbird is successfully managing e-mail from multiple e-mail providers. When I had time I looked on-line for solutions, nothing I found worked. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Like a number of others, I'm getting a lot of IMAP errors when sending email or moving it between folders. It seems like the IMAP connection is lost after 15-30 minutes and the only way to recover is restarting Thunderbird.

This is happening with Pair.com-hosted email in my case, and does not happen with Seamonkey. It's only been a problem with Thunderbird.

When the fault is triggered when sending email, the outbound message gets hung on the "Copying message to sent folder" step. Looking at TCPView, I'm not seeing any TCP connections from Thunderbird to the IMAP server:

thunderbird.exe 22264 TCP Altais 60613 localhost 60614 ESTABLISHED 2,227 2,227 thunderbird.exe 22264 TCP Altais 60614 localhost 60613 ESTABLISHED 2,227 2,227

If I hit cancel to escape, I get the message: "Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-Personal Account (IMAP).". If I then save to the local folder, moving it from there to the IMAP Sent folder fails until I restart Thunderbird.

I recently applied the latest update and now I can see all the message headers up to the update, but no new ones. The headers displayed do not have any messages attached. I have confirmed that the problem is on this computer only as my laptop which does not as yet have the latest update applied, works as normal in terms of new messages and old messages are also there. This problem only seems confined to my inbox. I have tried re-downloading my messages, checked all the settings and so forth and that works but still message bodies in the inbox. I have checked my password. I have used Thunderbird pretty much since it started (also Firebox has been my primary browser for many years and still is.

The other thing I did around this time was to install the Thunderbird app on my Android phone. As part of this I generated a QR code to copy settings etc over to the phone. 

I can see that I have my 2 account headers on the phone, but nothing else.

Over three days I retrieved 100000+ messages taking up over 9 gig of disk space. When I relaunched Thunderbird it asked me to set it up again which I did (probably unwisely). When it launched, the inbox was empty. It is fetching new messages but the old messages that I can still see on gmail.com are not visible.

Quando si apre la posta, il sistema si blocca su alcuni account ed è necessario chiudere e riaprire il programma. Quando si apre la posta durante lo scaricamento dei messaggi, si blocca e bisogna riavviarlo. Mentre si scrive un messaggio si blocca e bisogna riavviarlo. Spesso quando si riavvia molti messaggi in arrivo vengono duplicati

The global search in TB is completely defective. I am now running 128.2.0esr and hoped that update might fix it. It hasn't. I just wonder, are there any older or non ESR versions I can downgrade/move to, where the search is fully functional?

Hi,

can I create a local folder (i.e. unsynced with mail server) like in the Thunderbird desktop version? I'd like to have a local 'archive' folder.

Thanks.

Including a picture in case description isn't clear. In different email addresses, why are some inbox folders a top level folder but in others it is grouped with all the other folders 'sent, drafts, trash, etc.'. In one you will see that I can collapse all other folders into the Inbox folder. In others, I can't. I'd like all the inbox folders to be top folders so I don't have to either collapse all folders into the email header or leave them all open.

Picture shows the second email with a top level inbox and sent, drafts, trash, etc as subfolders.

Hello, Each time i log in to Thunderbird, a window opens saying “Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your google account”. So I click on "allow" and I receive a message on my phone to which I reply "yes it was me" but it happens several times each time Thunderbird connects. Any idea? Many thanks Bastien from France Bastienpelenc@mailo.com

Witam, Od wczoraj nie działa poczta: k.kacprzak@macgraf-design.com.pl. Nie wychodzą ani nie przychodzą maile. Sprawdziliśmy serwer i tak jest ok, poczta przychodzi. Na komputerze nic nie ruszaliśmy. Więc nie wiem gdzie leży problem. Proszę o pomoc. Pozdrawiam Karolina Chmiel-Kacprzak

When I am trying to subscribe to https://fosstodon.org/@linkwarden.rss Thunderbird stuck on 8/16 messages. Never finishes. After all I can't find feed in the feeds list and Mail\Feeds\feeds.json doesn't contain 'destFolder'. ```json {

       "url": "https://fosstodon.org/@linkwarden.rss",
       "quickMode": false,
       "options": {

I've had Tbird for a number of years and have been satisfied. However, this past year the program started to act up not sending emails every once in a while. Problem would clear itself in 2-3 days. Now it won't. I have not been able to send emails for three months. I have gone through all your advice in all your Support and all your info available on the internet. There is nothing wrong with my Tbird set up, my computer, or my ISP. It's a Tbird thing. I am not the only one who has this problem judging by the number of incidents in your support page. Please get this thing fixed because I am [this] close to uninstalling a now-useless program. Thank you.
