Please let me know what happened .... and why ... and if I cam recover them ... and how to make sure this never happenes again

Thanks for Any help !

I want to enter a whole lot of addresses into a particular address book but I find when I try to enter them there seems nowhere to click to say 'do it'. Have I missed something?

And how do I enter multiple addresses?

I'm finding threads that include the correct emails for the subject, but also additional emails that do NOT relate to the original subject. How do I pull the other "subjects" from being in the wrong thread and create their own thread. See the highlighted emails in the attached image. Each color represents a separate thread that should stand on its own.

Thanks.

I'm using Thunderbird for desktop and android. Everything is nicely organized on my desktop. Subfolders are contained inside parent folders as they should be. However, on Android all of the subfolders are outside of the parent folder. Is there a way to fix this on Android so all of my subfolders are organized back inside the main folder?

Thank you! Tim

Two strange things happened with my Thunderbird emails today, all POP3. In the folder with emails from my sister (top folder with a few hundred emails, subfolders going back to 2004 with thousands of emails), all the emails after Nov. 7 had disappeared. That could be a only a couple of dozen emails. They also disappeared from my iPhone. (Now play the Twilight Zone music).

Then there is a folder called Randy (me) with various subfolders going back as long. Many fewer emails were there. It was mostly for receiving bcc's of emails sent from my iPhone, and most of those had been moved immediately to my Sent folders. They are still there. But there still should have been hundreds of emails. Every single one, plus all the subfolders, have disappeared.

A fix I've seen here might be to rebuild the entire message database. That would only work if the messages were still there but simply not synced any more. Last time I did it I had all the messages, but the search function had become erratic. It took overnight. Given that I still have most of my emails and the search function seems to be working, I'm afraid that I could do more harm than good by rebuilding the database.

I have my entire TB profile backed up. I could use that, but then I'd lose everything in/out since 10 days ago, when I left on an extended trip to France. That would include lots of daily reporting to friends and family about the trip.

There doesn't seem to be any way to restore just one folder, which would be ideal.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Suddenly, bizarrely, some of my sub folders have disappeared. They are not "greyed out". They have totally disappeared. I now missing important content, that I need. I have been unable to find a solution by browsing on this forum. Can anyone help? And if they are gone for good, can anyone suggest how I can prevent this from happening again?

I keep getting a warning...Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox. I have no idea why it started or what that means. Help please?! Now I cannot even write an email. It's like it signed me out?

Why would we suddenly stop receiving emails on ALL our thunderbird emails at 300 pm 11/20/24? Some get message local network down. Can send test and that goes through but outside vendors not receiving. How do we troubleshoot? need help because do not know where to look

good day First I was informed to empty my mailbox, I have already deleted about 400 emails from a folder. Hold down Ctrl, e.g. select 27 emails, right click, trash can symbol - 27 emails deleted. If I continue to do this, only the bottom of the selected emails will be deleted. Deleting another 600 emails in this way would take the whole day. What is the reason for this, how can I fix the problem?

Hello. A few months ago, folk on here kindly helped me fix my connection to Outlook accounts. But, suddenly, things have gone wrong... though I have done nothing with any settings. I get the message: "You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site." If I click on "Get Certificate", nothing happens. If I remove ".587" from the field, I get "Peer's Certificate is not recognised". But I can't get or send any emails. Does anyone have any suggestions, please? Thanks!

Whenever I delete an e-mail from my inbox, all the other messages disappear. I have to exit Thunderbird and re-enter to get them back. What is going on and how do I fix it please ?
