I have the Owl add-on for Microsoft Exchange. However, Thunderbird will filter the messages and attempt to forward them but the following messages appear for each instance, "Sending of the message failed. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again."

I have checked and the three E-mail addresses that I am attempting to forward messages are correct.

Help!

I have used Thunderbird for decades with no problem. On a new Windows 11 machine, though, I am having a problem. I am running 128.4.2esr (64-bit) and just reinstalled it, but keeping the profile folder.

When I start Thunderbird, it should open to mail, specifically a unified inbox and various other mailboxes below. Instead, usually, it is blank. Other reopened tabs correctly display their title and content. See screenshot.

Thunderbird works correctly if I start it in troubleshooting mode, but at this point my few add-ons are disabled. (Quicktext, Compact Headers, dark theme.) See screenshot, lightly redacted.

With Thunderbird running, in its bad mode, selecting "mail" brings up the same blank page. Also, "calendar" shows a correct list of my calendars but will not display their content. However, "address book" works, showing my address book correctly.

If I am lucky or patient -- waiting for the mail tab to potentially come to life -- Thunderbird occasionally works and, if it does, stays fine for days, as long as I don't close it. What could be going on and what should I try doing?

Thanks for any and all help.

I have 128.5.2esr (64-bit) on two different machines.

Both have been experiencing LONG delays sending emails, where the error message is that the email was sent but it couldn't be stored in the sent folder. I have followed instructions to repair that folder but that hasn't had any effect.

This morning this happened again, this time it wouldn't store in either sent or drafts folders. I ran disk checking with no errors reported and no other programs are showing any problems. There is plenty of free disk space, I am only using 407 MB of a 4 TB drive.

I noticed slowness opening a message so went in and did a repair on my inbox. All messages disappeared. Quit TB and restarted, same, no messages. So I did a repair again. The messages reappeared, but most are empty! I don't keep many messages in my inbox, just really critical ones, and now they are all gone.

New emails display correctly.

How can I recover these messages? Some are actually really critical and would take some work to locate as I receive an intense amount of emails and some of the critical ones are months old so would take an enormous amount of time to find in the gmail system.

Please help with suggestions, not only on this but in having TB work without these recurring problems.

The Reply command no longer shows when I want to send an email back to the person that sent it. There is a note at the bottom of the email that says: A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and setting from identity Vince Hunter < omni232@telus.net> Can you give me instructions in laymans terms to fix this bug and return it back to the way it was?

I am new to TB and have spent about six hours trying to delete gmails in both POP and IMAP formats only to have them reappear multiple times a day. I am using the Unified Folders option too.

TB, on Windows 11, appears to operate normally retrieving gmail every 15 minutes. I also have TB beta installed on my Andriod phone, it appears to operate normally as well.

On Windows 11, I go to the email account and delete the emails, empty the spam and trash folders....then I compact those same folders and the main email folder as well.

After a several times a day the 75 or so emails reappear in the inbox. I've only been using TB one day.

I have to have done something wrong? No software behaves like this on purpose.

It there a torture the user check box I didn't uncheck somewhere? I am at my wits end.

Please help me understand and resolve this behavior?

Thanks, Craig

No I cannot see my Emails, whatever I try to do, there is always the image of supporting Thunderbird or doing a donation.

It`s a pity, that I cannot send any screenshot... -

I can send e-mail through Thunderbird on my laptop but can not receive e-mail. I have checked all of my settings and nothing seems to fix the problem. I am receiving e-mail for that account on other devices on which I do not use Thunderbird. Any suggestions?

When I was using Outlook in the old days, ie before it was 365, I used to take a copy of my OST file and save it as an annual archive, then delete all the folders or contents from my existing, live OST file that I didn't need anymore.

How do I achieve the same with Thunderbird?

I have a few email accounts, so Thunderbird is an ideal client to bring them all together. I have used my Yahoo account with Thunderbird for years now, possibly approaching 20 years, with no problem. However, during the last couple of months I have had problems with the connection such that Thunderbird stalls while accessing Yahoo and I see "Thunderbird not responding". I may even get a "Server has disconnected" message. If I get the latter, then suddenly the situation resolves and the email messages are downloaded. Otherwise, it is just a matter of waiting a couple of minutes until it clears, but it was always instantaneous in the past. Occasionally, I will also get delays when trying to send an email, but generally it is with downloading. Nothing else has changed. The only other change in the past few months has been the verification method for hotmail/live addresses which was not a problem.

Any thoughts? Peter

My emails are not coming through and says server down but all is correct after techinal support from Star Communications at my account email address cherring@intrstar.net.

Hi Happy New Year I have installed Thunderbird and web translate, but I miss the method like in Outlook where I could right click and have the email translated. In web translate I have to copy the text and have it translated. Is there another method that can make it easier. I also think it is a cumbersome way to add web translate before it is at the top and can be used in Thunderbird. Bruno

Under "Personal Address Book", I have several sub-address books, like "From Mike" and "Local". How do I add a new sub-address book. I guess I did this before but either TB has changed or I cannot remember how to do it.
