Forum zhromadźenstwa Thunderbird

Last little while (2 to 3 weeks), when I am getting Calendar (and most other) notifications, they come up as a full size (same size as Thunderbird) screen, rather than a small dialogue box. (See attachment) This is REALLY annoying!! How can I fix this?? Thanks.

Добрый день! Во вкладке "Входящие" горит значок 34 входящих сообщения, хотя по факту их нет. Сегодня поступили еще письма, они отображаются. Но общая сумма входящих сообщений по-прежнему включает эти 34 фантомные сообщения. Вероятно, это какой-то баг, как их можно очистить?

I have been reading some old questions on TB forums 0n how to speed up TB. Being old posts can you tell me if these options are now currently advised to be shut off in 2024? Should I turn on or off the setting for "Enable Global Search and Indexer" Should I turn off "windows indexing for the profile folders"?. If so, not sure how to do that. Should I disable the use of the option to "allow windows to search your mail"- if so where is this setting? How to reduce the number of FILES in the TB profile or just ignore this mounting calculation each time I make changes or compress? Thank you.

Hi, I don't know what I did but suddenly I only have the chat screen (which I have never been in, screenshot attached) and can't get back to my normal Thunderbird window where I see all my emails. All functions in the drop-down menus don't work, I can't get into settings or anything. What do I need to do to get back to my emails?

Quick Filter is still extremely slow on the newest version of Thunderbird (128.1.1esr). I asked a question about this previously. It was reported as a bug (see links below) and it says in the report it was fixed, but the problem still seems to be there in the newest version. Any idea when this will be fixed, or if there is anything I can do about it?

There is a thread about it on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/1e6hryp/quick_filter_is_super_slow_in_128/

There was a bug reported, and it is listed as closed (solved). Here is the bug report thread: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1908761

Thanks for you help.

Hello Team, About a month ago Thunderbird stopped downloading new messages, on my desktop pc. I have a Cox email account, and about a year ago they switched to using Yahoo. It's been working fine until last month. When I open TB, the inbox count of unread messages keeps climbing, but it's not adding new emails. I think it's actually adding duplicates of already downloaded emails. Some of which it looks like it is adding several copies, like 3 or 4. Can you tell me where to start? Many thanks.

Hej. Hvad skal jeg gøre så vores mail ikke forsvinder. Jeg kan kun finde mails fra 2024. Alle de mails jeg har gemt i mapper, som f.eks garantibevis og andre mails der skal gemmes, er væk. Håber I kan hjælpe. Vh. birte

Hi Everybody All of my folders in Thunderbird have become subfolders, which is annoying, but worst than that, most of them don't have messages in them any more. What have I done, how can I undo it and find those messages? I hope someone can help. thanks Rose

I have used thunderbird for many years and have installed various versions on many different windows machines. I just got a new PC running windows 11 and installed thunderbird 128.5.2esr. The local inbox folders show up but with no content (no subfolders and no messages found). My inbox folder is located on a dropbox drive so that I can read and save emails on different machines.

I wonder whether it is related to this version? I have installed thunderbird on a different machine about one year ago and it worked fine.

Thanks for your help.

Every time I run Thunderbird, it appears to lose its IMAP connection(s) after 10-15 minutes. I've tried varying the number of cached connections from 1 to 10 with no difference in behavior.

Restarting Thunderbird will restore connectivity temporarily, until the entire process starts over again.

It seems to be correlated to saving a copy of sent messages. The sending process times out while the message is being saved to the Sent folder after the SMTP sending is complete.

Once this happens, new mail doesn't appear, moving mail between folders has no effect, and some (but not all) messages can't be retrieved from the server.

My provider uses IMAP, not POP3. I am transitioning to a new computer. My entire work and personal emails over the last 10 years are on this computer. A loss of emails would be really, really bad for my work. I use my Thunderbird account on two devices: a main laptop and a small travel laptop. It's nice to have them synched, but not essential due to limited use of my travel laptop.

Currently all of my old emails are in IMAP folders on the new computer. My questions:

(1) Which is better protected from loss of emails, IMAP folders or local folders? On the one hand, I occasionally destroy a computer by doing something dumb like spilling water on it. But does it ever happen that a provider permanently loses emails, like a major server crash?

(2) To what extent is loss of privacy an issue with IMAP storage folders? Is there any history of privacy incidents with IMAP folders?

(3) If I move emails from IMAP to local folders and then delete the IMAP folders, will my emails be permanently saved in the local folders? I did an experiment and the answer seems to be yes.

(4) Considering the above questions, is it best to store emails in IMAP or local folders? Is there any significant difference?

Data in preview (when I move the mouse over the calendar entry) is always correct. However, the data differs from the one when I click on Edit.

For me it works when I delete cache.sqlite. But then I delete the newer entry (which is displayed correctly in the preview).

Any ideas? Where does the data in the preview come from? Apparently from a different source than the data displayed in the edit view?

Thunderbird says transfer calendar data to new PC as read only. Transfer is asking for read only as it is aborting task. How do I mark items as read only? Advice please

I can't find the Spam anywhere and so I'm afraid that I may miss some emails that are not spam whatsoever. The spam log never contains any email. Thank you very much for helping me with this issue Brigitte Would you please send your answer to kapretz@posteo.de also? That's my current and valid email adress. Thank you!!!

I have installed thunderbird in my virtual desktop, but whenever i try to open it, it gets in the not responding state. CPU and memory utilization are all fine. I tried re-installing it with default and custom setting but still getting the same issue. can you please help here?

For some reason, after using Thunderbird with no issues for years on my Windows 11 Desktop, I started getting an error message pop-up window, saying "Enter Credentials" but it's a blank browser window, with nowhere to enter anything. Since then I can't receive any e-mail, so I've had to use a different app, but I'd prefer to use Thunderbird. I've tried re-starting the computer, un-installing and re-installing Thunderbird, changing the Firewall settings in Microsoft 11 but NOTHING has worked.

Please help! Thanks, Dave S.

I have 3 ms email accounts. 1 of them keeps asking for credentials, but only gives me a blank window with nowhere to fill in my creds. The address box contains: https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?client_id=9e5f94bc-e8a4-4e73-b8be-63364c29d753&scope=https%3a%2f%2foutlook.office.com%2fIMAP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3a%2f%2foutlook.office.com%2fPOP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3a%2f%2foutlook.office.com%2fSMTP.Send+offline_access&redirect_uri=https%3a%2f%2flocalhost&response_type=code&login_hint=bawlmer23%40hotmail.com&uaid=a1c6152f56ff4771b71827445e32221f&msproxy=1&issuer=mso&tenant=common&ui_locales=en-US&epct=PAQABDgEAAADW6jl31mB3T7ugrWTT8pFe9stb-KL5GFdB7Qy-RTa4jUBlHBFVCTiH2DNsResusZlwqWAYfV70i038_0vnixvUW3eLT57QK-W0Dz1YzIRePz-C7L6t7-gwPQIaVEk-iXtKq-p901Wa0v5efhdbQfhObMJSTCPdBsFNLo6_-7i_5CCzxFBybmlvezLv5kud7wrbFdqlAYcQOrUdN6fH4yPqhl947WldiSYDJ_XA09BR0SAA&jshs=0#

This started yesterday. Everything I have tried hasn't worked.
