Forum zhromadźenstwa Thunderbird

I've been using TB for years. Recently, I uninstalled it to try other mail clients. I decided to get TB working again but I'm incredibly frustrated that I'm unable to get an outlook.com account and my nexamortgage.com account working. The NEXA account is google based and is usually quite easy. I also have a Keller Williams account that is also Google based and that worked fine on TB just before I tried to setup my NEXA account. I have tried to enter both manually and have tried multiple different IMAP, SMTP Port settings and Server settings, but nothing is working.

Hey guys,

I am relatively new to Thunderbird but I love it so far but...

Second time this has happened and I figured this time its time to fix this correctly.

So emails just vanished in my inbox. Items still in sent and trash and other sub-folders.

I can't tell you exactly the last thing I was doing. But it was either message filtering or deleting unnecessary emails. Then I clicked on another folder and when I moved back to inbox everything was gone. Checked the filter and seems in order.

Everything is still on the host server. How to I recover the emails from the host back to my computer because as far as thunderbird is concerned its already downloaded those email.

Emails are run as POP.

From the menu View - Folders - Tags i can view tags in the side bar, which is very helpful. My problem, as you can see in the picture i'm attaching, is that tags are not sorted according to the greek alphabet. Is there a way to sort tags? I'm aware that the first 9 tags are presets.

From time to time especially when I make a break and the screensaver starts Thunderbird crashes. There is a split between the taskbar of Cinnamon and Thunderbird. The program doesn't react anymore. The only way to use it is to kill it and start it again. I really don't know why this happens. It is a new phenomenon. Here are my Systeminformation: [code] System:

Hello - When I logged into my email this moring a vast majority of my emails from previous days and in my filed emails are gone. Is there a way to get them back? Not sure what could have happened. Any assistance is appreciated!!! Thank you.

I was in the process of searching my files to attach one to an email when the attachment window suddenly expanded from approx 50% of the screen to almost full screen and I can find no way to reset it. I can see the sideand bottom edges of the window, and move the expand/contract arrow on the cursor to these sides and the bottom corners, but it does not operate, and there is no button to minimise or adjust it. I have just checked and it is operating perfectly fine on both Firefox and the main Thunderbird window, and email viewing windows. Is this a change to the program settings - it appears to only apply to the "Attach" setting - viewing attachments and emails are as they always were.

HI, I have two email addresses on Thunderbird, one I have lost (not main one) including all downloaded emails for that address. I did some "tidying up" in settings, by deleting some items that had a dustbin next to them thinking they were junk (mistake?). Win 10 pro. Thunderbird 146.0.1 -32 bit. But most everything else on laptop is 64 bit. If you can help please, to restore address and/or get all old emails for this address resent. I have tried to open the same address, by typing it in, but it downloads nothing. However I do keep getting the message to input the password, sometimes for both my addresses?

I'm back with an old problem.

When filtering email, it gets interrupted with the error message of:

"The folder "xxxx" could not be found, so filters associated with this folder will be disabled. Verify that the folder exists, and that filters point to a valid destination folder."

Yes, the folder exists.

The previous solution was to change the mail server to imap.googlemail.com. I did that, but connectivity to it has become erratic (it services Germany, Poland, and Russia).

Is there anything else I can do besides use the imap.gmail.com server and keep reenabling the mail filters?

1 How can the list "recent folders" in the icon "store in" be sorted alphabetically? (sorry, my version of Thunderbird speaks German) It used to be alphabetically, but now is sorted chronologically.

2 I cordially suggest to add a function exactly like this one, but with item at my own disposal (maybe the favorite folders).

Thanks, Martin

Thunderbird doesn't carry over calendar events alerts/reminders after updates to it or reboots generally, at least in Ubuntu (24.04).

I expected my events and reminders to carry over even after updates and computer reboots. They don't. I missed an important appointment because of that oversight. Thunderbird used to work.

I doubt that there's an existing fix for this, so Thunderbird Calendar needs to be updated so that Calendar events alerts don't disappear after updates or reboots. Meanwhile, I'm looking around for email and calendar apps that don't have this problem.

Thanks

My 'sent mail' has suddenly all disappeared - although still on the mail file server. Inbox mail is fine - but if I send a test message to myself, I get the reply, but the sent message is not saveb. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird twice, n - the second time deleting the Mozilla folder under C:\users and then rebooting This happened whilst I was using Thunderbird. I have used Thunderbird for years without problems I have run a virus scan with Malwarebytes, but no problmes showed up. All folders are still vixible on my iPhone

I am about to try reinstalling again. I don't want to have to change email clients.

Any help much appreciated.. Thank you Joan Kemp

Sent mail has suddenly vanished, even though it is still on the originating file server. This happened very suddenly. I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, but no change. I am about to reboot PC to see if this will solve the problem. Very strange!

Hello,

When creating a new account with the email provider @gmx.de, after entering my name, email address, and password, it is confirmed that this combination is found in the Mozilla ISP database. (1)

After clicking the 'Done' button (2), an error message is displayed (3).

I can log in to the email account using the same credentials via a browser.

What could be the cause of this behavior?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

As you can see in the screenshot, the umlauts are missing in many emails. Unfortunately, the corresponding fonts can no longer be set in Thunderbird; I use version 140.6.0esr (32-bit). Where can I set that ä, ö, ü, ß (...) are displayed normally? Greetings from Berlin, Markus

I am a regular supporter of Mozilla. Since changing my desk top computer and re-entering Thunderbird, I have had font size problems, to read incoming E-mails but even more so with sending E-mails, when the print size is almost too small to read. What can I do about his? Please go easy on me : I am a non-techy 91 year old so words of few syllables in everyday terms, please.
