Forum Bashkësie Thunderbird

I have seen many questions a bit like mine but they all refer to downloading emails. Mine is different: "The folder 'Trash on [email protected]' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again." It now happens on two different email addresses (one is POP one is IMAP). Trash seems otherwise to work and can be deleted. But still this alarm. MAS OS 15.1.1 (24B91) - latest Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit)

Beim Einrichten meiner bestehenden E-Mail Adresse "[email protected]" auf diesen Rechner erhalte ich nach dem Ausfüllen immer zuerst die Mitteilung "Einstellungen wurden in der ISP-Datenbank gefunden" Nach dem Anklicken von Fertig erhalte ich nach jedem Versuch den Hinweis "Anmeldung auf dem Server fehlgeschlagen; evtl. Konfiguration, Benutzername ... nicht bkorrekt" obwohl alles stimmt.

I am trying to migrate off of Google, email, and most importantly - *Calendar (with tasks)*

{I just got stung by Proton who's calendar does not include any tasks, only events. Thus my Google calendar cannot import 75% of the data correctly.}

I had started with an Offline version of Thunderbird, refusing to integrate with Google. I was thinking I could import later, and not have to connect to Google to do so. I was very wrong, it turns out you cannot export the calendar and tasks file from Google via download, and then import said data to the Offline Thunderbird on my PC.

I could not figure out how to go back and connect Google to my Thunderbird. After banging my head for many hours on text walls that did not give the helps I needed... It did tell me how to import files to Thunderbird, but the .zip file from Google does not worky. I tried all options with no dice.

I gave up, and uninstalled Thunderbird, and re-installed it - hoping to get the option to install it with google integrated this time. It remembers all my settings from the Offline installation. Still contemplating taking Thunderbird off the machine and do a registry hunt to kill all entries of TB. I will try that in a bit.

Ok, so How can I set it up to work with google to get my Calendar, with tasks included into Thunderbird? Keep in mind I plan to break the Google connection once it is fully imported, for security purposes. And, before people copy/paste the FAQ at me, I did do the steps, several times, and several ways, none of which resolved the situation.

I have done this many times in the past but due to a head injury I seem to have forgotten how I did it!

I just want to add a folder to my email so new emails for a particular subject all go into the folder with that subject's name. For example when I get emails from "Family Search" they all get sent to a folder in Thunderbird called, you guessed it! "Family Search"

Like I said I have done this and those ones work but I just am drawing a blank on the proper steps to set up a new one.

I am recently bereaved so my partner who was the IT 'expert' organising my laptop etc is no longer here to help when things go wrong..... One of my email addresses has stopped opening on my laptop although it works on my phone. I'm fearful of changing anything on the settings because I don't understand the 'incoming' and 'outgoing' server language terms ! I'm using Thunderbird as usual and my two other accounts are working fine. Help please.

I can copy my profile to my local drive without problem. But when I try to copy to an external drive I get a message: Error while copying "lock". It refers to a symbolic link. See attached file for complete message. None of the documentation I've viewed mentions the Lock file or if it can be ignored and not copied. I'm running Thunderbird 102.11.0. Yes, I know, I need to update and not just Thunderbird but my operating system too. Preparing for the update is what has exposed this issue.

I am unable to send messages.

I get the following error message - which I have checked and it is correct:

Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

Hello,

I habe been using Thunderbird for many years and I always considered it was a wonderfull software. But it seems that since Thunderbird revisions 128 replaced revisions 115 XXX, this software became less performant and less reliable than before: very (too) often it takes a big time just to open a received e-mail, it is longer and longer to send a new e-mail, even without attached file. Sometimes the software seems locked: nearly all commands are unavailable, in a "grey" state: "the program does not respond ..."

Somtimes, when you run Thunderbitd you see a huge disc activity, as if the software was re-indexing the databases after each launch.

Even if you re-install the software, from scratch, and you re-index all the files the behaviour does not improve.

Theses problems have begun since revision 115 XX was upgraded to 128. We have been told that Thunderbird sofware had been widely "redesigned" but as a result, right now, it is less good than before.

Looking on forums I see that I am not the only one to signal these problems ...

Can you give us some more informations about what is going on with Thunderbird ? It is going to be "stabilized" ? Does this last major evolution of Thunderbird is going to arrive to a more stable state ?

Thank you by advance.

Regards

I have tried global settings and the settings in Thunderbird but whenever i reply to a message the text is very small. I can enlarge it but have to do it for each message... Help! Please...

I can receive e mails but unable to open anything contained within body of e mail. e.g. P & O Cruises will send an e mail advertising cruise but when it says click on open to view - It will not open up. many thanks

Thunderbird present a "compact folder" message (done many time over the years), so I said go ahead. My Inbox was "cleared" showing "no messages" icon. First, this realy is a SCARY thing to show when compacting a folder, but they normally all come back. You really should display some different message or show the message still there while compacting. This time I got an error (sorry I did not save the exact error message) but it was that the folder could not be compacted due to an error, possibly not enough disk space and to check and make more space available. I had 290GB free space on my C: drive where Thunderbird is installed in the standard "Program Files" folder. After dismissing the error, my Inbox still displayed "No Messages" - THIS is the BUG that needs fixing. I thought I had lost all my emails!

Fortunately, exiting Thurderbird and reboot my Laptop and restarting Thunderbird shows the Inbos with all its expected messages.

I don't know how to report a bug formally, so I am hoping someone that does can pass this along to the appropriate peope or file it in the appropriate bug reporting system.

I use Windows 11 and had successfully installed new Thunderbird for Admin and DKeing (without password). But when I tried to open Thunderbird at DKeing it told me "already open, close it". I tried to close it, didn't help. I desinstalled Thunderbird under Admin, I desinstalled Thurnderbird under DKeing, I deleted the folder in Program Files ("Mozilla Thunderbird). Then I installed Thurderbird another time, trieing to open it. But it told me: Already open, close it. And no reaction when trying to close it. Schoene Gruesse D. Kluessendorf
