Hi, my IMAP email account is getting full, so to make space, I moved most of my mail, including both Inbox and Sent, to the Local Folder, however there's no size difference showing, according to my email provider's quota meter. My IMAP mail is still just as full. Perhaps I'm not understanding what the Local Folder is. I thought this meant I could have mail offline but still accessible. Could anyone please help me understand this, and also please tell me if there's a way to keep my mail accessible and readable from within Thunderbird while keeping it stored offline so that it's removed from my IMAP account. Thank you!

Guten Tag, ich habe einen neuen PC mit windows 11. Auf dem alten PC mit windows 8 konnte ich Thunderbird nicht mehr geöffnet werden mit dem Hinweis " findet XPCOM nicht " .

Nun fehlen alle lokalen Ordner ( und die sind wichtig ! ) Wie kann ich die in der neuen Version einfügen ?

ich bin leider nicht sehr bewandert in Computerangelegenheiten und im Profilordner sind diese ganzen Unterordner nicht mehr drin. BITTE DRINGEND UM HILFE !!!! DANKE

My display of Thunderbird is overrsized in width, probably not significantly but enough that I am missing text. Normally this is not a major concern but I was checking out a rule applied to incoming mail and could see features to the right. I am using W11 operating system on an HP Spectre.

I checked the Config Editor in settings and "layout.css.devPixelsPerPx" is not bold and is set at -1. How can reduced the width of the display?

Regards

Mike

Occasionally some of my contacts said they were not receiving my emails. Therefore I sent an email to myself and it did not arrive. When I checked my sent box my email was there but the sent address consisted of the first part of my own address, followed by a completely different address, which I traced to a Spanish email provider: @d4.com.mx

It looks like my sent emails are sometimes being re-directed to someone else's address. How can this happen and more important how can it be stopped?

I had to delete one of my email accounts and reenter it. Now when I send an email from that account the copy goes into another account sent box. I have checked both accounts and everything looks good

I know the mail server I use has many more years of email messages saved in the inbox than I can get to display when using thunderbird. The thunderbird inbox seems to limit to about the last 2 years of messages. How do I get to earlier messages? Many thanks for your help.

Thunderbird issue:

System: Two computers running Linux Mint 21.3 - Google Chrome is the default browser.

Both running Thunderbird 115

Both have the same two accounts set up  : Pop3 – gmail.com

Both accounts were announcing ‘You Have Mail” using custom WAV file.

Both accounts are set for manual downloads.

I stay up to date on all updates for system as well as TB

Issue:

All worked A-O.K. until a month ago when one (primary account on one computer stopped announcing “You Have Mail”. The other account (secondary) as well as both accounts on the other computer still function normally, i.e. the wav file is functional.

I have tried everything that I can think of to address the issue but have been coming up empty handed.

I haven’t messed with the css files but have change paths to the file, used a different wav file. Tried oga, mp3, etc. all with no fix. I’ve changed themes and checked other add-ons. Still no fix.

I could live without it but I’m one that likes to have everything working!

Is it in my profile or what?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have several accounts.

One of the accounts never shows that it has unread messages. If I go into it - I see new messages just fine, but they are marked as "read". If I go to that account through web - I see the new messages as "unread", as they should be.

This happens on only one of the accounts. All others correctly show, in the list of accounts, that I have unread messages. Do not see any difference between account settings.

The offending account is from gmail, but I also have another gmail one which works correctly.

Any suggestions where to look?

Thunderbird version is: 115.16.2 (64-bit)

I am trying to apply this filter but unsucssesfylly. I am looking for a exact number that appears in the message, to move the e-mail to a specific folder. I've already checked usind CTRL+F and it appears. Any suggestion? Here are some pictures.

thunderbird version 2024 - toolbar customization: missing: "delete" and "junk"

Dear ,

we send a note as i handle average day, some 1000 emails in thunderbird.

for handling this , we use thunderbird last 10 years, where as the mail toolbar is:

previous - next - (delete ) - (junk )

In all versions up to 2023 , we would install above 4 (four ) settings on one line after each other.

In the new version from 2024 , the settings between: ( ) , are no longer in the main possibilies, but

we must use these settings on the line under; which takes far more time than all on one line.

Is it possible to have the ( ) settings, in the next new version , back again , like before ??

Nice greetings,

I am getting very frustrated with the junk mail. I have very important emails ending up in junk. They aren't marked as junk but they are still being put in junk. Most are in my address book so shouldn't be there at all. Even when I mark them as not junk, they still get put in junk. I've reset the adaptive junk and it makes no difference. I've even turned off all junk settings and they still go into junk! I'm totally at a loss as to what to do. Please, can someone help? I'm seriously considering giving up on Thunderbird and using a different email client.

Hello,

For 2 of my Yahoo DE e-mail accounts, I cannot go further when setting up. When I click on "I am not a robot" (reCaptcha), I get this kind of error message telling me that some API settings are invalid. This doesn't happen on other accounts of other providers. Thanks for your help. Best regards.

I am dislexic and sometime mis-type the destination domain address. Can I get Thunderbird to check the domain exists before sending it to the mail server? I can't find an addon to do this. Sometimes there is a considerable wait before I get an error message back.

As secretary of a bridge club I use "replay to" very frequently. To my surprise it behaves funny with version 128.4.2. When send to recipients and replaying to the recieved email I see the screen where another account signature is used and the replay is not filled in. As this is send to about 100 people its not nice. Hope you can fix this.

Thunderbird on my laptop (Win10pro on an I-7 HP laptop) keeps freezing (not crashing) and after installing on my Android (Moto G7+) the app freezes every single time I try to read the QR code on my desktop. Arrrggghhhh, can anyone help? I'm an experience computer user and Thunderbird user for over 20 years and all my other software works fine on both Desktop and Android.

I have 3 accounts with Gmail They are/ were all the same setup and everything was fine for years and now they are starting to not work properly. The sent mail folder doesn't work on one and it can't be deleted like the other 2. Delete and reinstall fixed it on one. And now the accounts functions are being merged. I deleted the sent mail on one and it deleted another one as well. The "fix" on the box for sent doesn't do anything. One account was getting mail in the inbox and sent mail box, the same message. And one account stopped sending mail but was receiving ok and I kept getting error messages that it was a bad address from Google. I've been playing with it for hours and finally got it sending and receiving to the right accounts I think. It's still set up per your directions for gmail. And I've rebooted TB and the computer a half a dozen times. Oh and TB also crashed once and sent the report. I hope you can figure this out because something is obviously corrupted. Thanks.
