Thunderbird Community Forum

I have 3 email accounts linked to my thunderbird email. initially they all worked fine but now even though they all show the number of messages in the inbox, when I click on the inbox it says 'no messages to show' Help please.

I have several email accounts and in the left pane they are listed in the order I added them. I want to change the order so the more used accounts are on top. I try dragging and it does not do anything. I searched the web and only solution listed was to download an api, which I did, but does not work on ver. 128. How do I change the order that these email accounts appear?

I use Thunderbird to download my email to my laptop (MacBook Air). I have 4 different email accounts that get downloaded -- 3 use POP. One uses IMAP. It is set up correctly with port 993 and security SSL. When I click on an IMAP message in my inbox, it opens blank, except for the subject line in the frame of the email. Sometimes it will fill out, but sometimes, especially lately, the blank message just sits there, taunting me.

I can read and respond to the message if I log onto the email server in a browser (Firefox, if it matters) but I want my messages on my laptop. I tried to switch to POP to see if that helps since my other 3 email servers work fine, but I can't make that work either. Thoughts? Thank you!

Incidentally, I do not need to save all my messages on my server. I'd be happy to delete them after a couple weeks, but I can't seem to make that happen either.

The Menu at the top of e-mail to be sent disappeared so I can's send e-mail. I was able to click "File" and then click "Send Now" for a few days but the menu bar just disappeared. [email protected]

I have a Word doc: This PC > Documents > Working > Demo > MyWordDoc.docx

I use Windows Explorer to navigate to This PC > Documents > Working > Demo

I highlight the file and choose SendTo and select Thunderbird

A Thunderbird message is created: - there is an attachment c:\Users\User\Documents\Working\Demo\MyWordDoc.docx - in the message the attachment's size appears as 0 bytes - see Fig 1

When I attempt to send the message I get an error saying "There was an error attaching . . . . Please check that you have access to the file."

Taking another approach I create a new message in Thunderbird

From the message screen I add the attachment This PC > Documents > Working > Demo > MyWordDoc.docx - there is an attachment MyWordDoc.docx (note there is no path prior to the filename) - in the message the attachment's size appears as 11.9 KB - see Fig 3

I can send this message (and its attachment) successfully.

These seems to have started in the beginning of November - I don't use SendTo every day so it is difficult to pinpoint exactly when it began.

Thunderbird 128.5.0 (64 bit) - I upgraded to latest version before posting this Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19045 - Updates are current

Why cannot I use SendTo to create a message with an attachment?

Hello:

Using Thunderbird for years. But please, for the love of God, someone tell me *why* Global Filters / Unified Inbox filters are not allowed? I've got 10-15 accounts, and I'm forced to refine/recreate my rules for each account?

Why? Why? Why? Why?

This is not a small thing, yet seems like such a common request. Please make this change/addition!

Thank you.

see the pictures: problems with receiving and sending emails. -my webmail functions correct, -internet is without problems, -XS4ALL states: no errors on their side, and account-info is correctly filled in, -windows 10, all updates installed, -fault is approx 3 weeks there, -sometimes it takes Thunderbird 6 hours to receive and send any emails, -version 128.5.0,

I use Thunderbird for many years, this is the first time I get problems, please help; Emails are important these days, because government and insurance companies communicate this way.

For my school account (outlook) when trying to send an email thunderbird does not send the mail from my school account but from my gmail account. Thunderbird also saves the email to the sent folder of my school account (which didn't happen at first but I messed about to make it happen, I'll explain) but does not save the email to my gmail sent folder.

To get the email to save to my school sent folder which is called "Sent Items" I made a new folder in thunderbird called "cheese" and renamed it to "Sent Items" before going into the account settings and setting the copy to save all emails sent from my school email to "Sent Items".

I then didn't do anything to the default "Sent" folder that thunderbird had created but it disappeared after I tried dragging the emails from that folder into the "new" "Sent Items".

Versions: Thunderbird: 128.5.0esr (64-bit)

OS: Edition Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2 Installed on ‎2022-‎09-‎03 OS build 19045.5131 Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19060.1000.0

I have Moz on two separate machines; one a Lenovo laptop Win10, the other a Lenovo desk top Win8. My message filters have stopped working. I can't tell if it's all or some, as I have 30 or more on each one. All I know is, my inbox is full of spam and messages supposed to be auto-moved to sub folders are still present. Furthermore when troubleshooting this, manually running both existing and new filters simply does nothing.

What can I do?

When trying to paste a screenshot from my PC (Windows 11), it fails—it does nothing. I've been attempting to set 'mail.compose.attach_http_images' to true and selecting "Only HTML" in the "Compose messages in HTML format" settings, but it still doesn't work. However, the screenshot from the clipboard can be successfully pasted into the Paint app.

Do you have any ideas or suggestions for resolving this issue?

This question was asked some years ago. The answers then, were all based on going to Account Settings>Server Settings and unchecking everything. This no longer works. (Current TB version: 128.x (64-bit).

Another solution offered was to copy everything to Local folders and delete the old account. This solution is not satisfactory, since I create an archive account each year.

Until about two years ago, I just added a copy of the account to be archived as a new account and deactivated it. This would be the ideal solution.

Is there an up to date solution to this problem?

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.

Hallo und guten Tag, ich habe seit Ende September ein großes Problem. Wir sind 3 Personen die zusammen auf einen Emailaccount zugreifen. Bisher haben wir Schlagwörter nutzen können um den anderen mitzuteilen, dass die Email bearbeitet wurde usw. Nun synchronisieren die Schlagwörter nicht mehr und alles versinkt im Chaos. Können Sie mir helfen? Gibt es eine Einstellung die ich machen muss? Emailaccount ist bei Ionos.

Viele Grüße und einen schönen Tag noch. Romy

Since moving to Windows 11 and reinstalling Thunderbird, I cannot access emails by this route. I have a domain hosted by Easily and can get to my emails directly through their Control Panel, but using the same email, password, ports etc through TB it fails to find the account. I have rechecked all the settings with Easily and tried several times entering them manually in TB, with the same result. What else can I do?

I've updated my MacBook from MacOS 14 to 15.1.1 and it seems to have broken CardBook 97.5. I've checked for updates to the add-ons. I'll get in touch with the developers as well. Has anyone else experienced this?
