First started yesterday afternoon, after working just fine in the morning, it would not save to SENT folder. Now this morning it will also not save to DRAFTS (in tools>account settings>copies & folders>place a copy in) both of those are checked properly. PLUS, I have two email accounts in Thunderbird, and it now keeps popping up that it cannot sign into one of those accounts.

It is up-to-date, I have cleared the start-up cache. Don't know what to do next to solve these issues.

Thanks NM.

Bonjour, je voudrais importer les contacts de mon compte Gmail dans ma messagerie Thunderbird, le fichier des contacts Gmail est au format .csv Comment faire pour que ce fichier soit totalement exploitable pour créer le carnet d'adresses au niveau de Thunderbird ? Faut-il convertir le fichier contacts.csv de Gmail pour retrouver un carnet d'adresses valide de la même façon qu'il est exploité au niveau de mon compte Gmail  ? Merci infiniment pour toute solution. Mon système d'exploitation est Windows 11 et le logiciel Thunderbird est à la version 128.5 Joël GRIVET

There is a problem with my Drafts folder. It says that there are 3 messages, and shows the icon for 2 new messages in the folder, but when I try to open the folder, it says No Messages Found. What is going on here? (Please see the uploaded image.)

Every time I turn on my email account it asks for the imap password. I have tried every password I have and nothing works. Keep getting message "Mozilla Thunderbird (Not Responding) and I cannot use my email account. Today I have found I have 2 accounts, same email address on the same account. Where and how this has come from I don't know. I have tried to delete the second account but it will not delete. It says it is loading 286 messages and at present 40 mins later is still going this is on top of the original account I have. Can you help??? How do I get my email account running smoothly so I don't throw the whole thing out the window. I hate turning on my computer. My kindle works better than my Mozzilla account (not computer savy). HELP

junk e-mails are automatically deleted and not put into the junk folder. I need to check the junk mail folder.

Help please - I can't find info on the net on how to fix this. I have done everything that I was able to find.

Hello, Very exited to see thunderbird coming to android but I cannot sync all my mails.

I am using posteo and I configure several filters from the posteo website itself so my computer and my phone sort the mail the same way. I don't have any trouble with thunderbird on my computer but thunderbird on my phone only download the mail which are not filters when I ask to check for new messages. I have to go to every folders which are present on my phone and drag down to sync each folder one by one.

Do you have a solution to receive all mails at the same time ?

Thank you, Have a good day.

I just updated to the latest Thunderbird version 128.5.0esr, Build ID 20241125170630 and after relaunching, all the email in my Sent folder is gone.

Running on a Windows 10 machine. Can someone explain or help guide & restore my old Sent folder?

Thanks!

Hi

I am unable to connect to TELUS email which is operated by Google. The unit is a new SAMSUNG Tablet 9A and is owned by a friend. I installed Thunderbird for Android on the unit. I cannot set it up because it requires OAuth2 Authentication and it is not available within the TB for Android. I use TB on many units using Linux and they work fine.

I do not want to use Gmail client but maybe I have to. Is there anyone aware of how to solve this problem so I can set him up with TB, which I prefer? Robert

Hello vols, My Thunderbird email has suddenly asked for a password to login to imap server. When entered, password is not accepted. No passwords have been changed on my email server. Help. I am now unable to receive emails. Many thanks Ian

I am with Activ8me, that is my internet provider, since your program update my email no longer opens and I cannot send emails, i have been on the phone for an hour with my provider and they have tried many things, nothing ever changed or worked, when I try to open Thunderbird it tells me the server may have gone down or there may be a network problem, if i try to send an email it tells me, peer reports incompatible or unsupported protocol versions and the configuration needs to be corrected, The Techs at Activ8me could not get it to work, they think there must be an issue with Thunderbirds new program, can you look into this please and see why activ8 emails do not work on here any more, hopefully someone can provide for me a complete and easy to follow guide that will fix this issue, Thanks, Ray

Hello thunderbird friends!

After what feels like a break of over 10 years, I have a computer again and have returned to Thunderbird. After setting up several mail accounts, I'm wondering how I can switch between them in the view. I only see one account at a time. I don't know how to get to the other account.

My second question is, how do I create a mail overview in which all emails from all mail accounts can be seen? I have this function in my Mail app on the iPhone and I find it very useful. Is this also available in Thunderbird?

Thank you and best regards from Germany

edit: I have found the option to change accounts. At least I can now switch between the mail inboxes. To do this, activate view/window layout and account view. My problem now is the following. I have a laptop and the display is quite small. With this type of display I now have 3 columns open. The account selection. The inbox of the respective account and on the right the email view. Everything is very small.

I would still like to have a single folder in which all emails can be seen. It would also be nice if there was a button at the top, for example Accounts, where I can click on it and a drop-down menu opens with the respective account.

Another thing that bothers me in the long account list is the long scrolling. Because I have drafts, trash, spam archive, etc... in every account. If I want to retrieve emails from my 5th email account, I have to scroll for a long time until I find the inbox. I hope you understand what I mean. It would be nice if there were favorites, for example only from the inboxes. this would reduce the clutter to a few points and you wouldn't have to scroll so much.

We have had our sympatico.ca account for decades, but have recently created a gmail address as we will probably leave Bell, for a number of reasons, and I understand that we will then lose all remaining sympatico emails. We recently switched from Outlook to Thunderbird, but my guess is that we will no longer need Thunderbird, and gmail will be easily transportable, though it has some rather distasteful features, limited storage being one. My question is, is there a way to migrate the emails away from Bell and retain them. This doesn't seem to be a strictly Thunderbird question, though I'm sure it has arisen numerous times in the past. Thanks.
