On 29 Nov 2024, TBird stopped downloading all emails from all my accounts. I have not changed anything on the computer and have run all the troubleshooting routines I can find for TBird. Still not working. Interestingly, when Better Bird import the settings from TBird, it exhibited the same issues. Any suggestions?

TIA

I am trying to delete an old email account that is no longer active or used. I have gone to settings and account actions. I can see delete account but it is not highlighted so I can do delete. What am I doing wrong? Colin

I use Thunderbird as an email client, and a POP3 connection to Virginmedia to download emails. This has worked pretty well for years. In the last few weeks the email content has been very slow to load. Although the list of emails in the inbox in Thunderbird appears quickly, when I select an email to view its content there is a delay of perhaps 5s while it says 'Loading Message...'. There is a similar delay when deleting a message.

Once a message has been loaded, it can be re-visited without a delay, but if marked as unread there is again a delay next time it is read. This is also true if I work offline, so it can't be Virginmedia's server.

I have another account using an IMAP connection which doesn't suffer from any delay. Thanks if anyone can advise.

Including a picture in case description isn't clear. In different email addresses, why are some inbox folders a top level folder but in others it is grouped with all the other folders 'sent, drafts, trash, etc.'. In one you will see that I can collapse all other folders into the Inbox folder. In others, I can't. I'd like all the inbox folders to be top folders so I don't have to either collapse all folders into the email header or leave them all open.

Picture shows the second email with a top level inbox and sent, drafts, trash, etc as subfolders.

Hello,

I can't send emails anymore. For a reason, from now on my server cannot handle encrypted passwords (I'm literally translating from French so I hope I'm using the right words). I tried to change my settings from encrypted to normal password, but it cannot work with these either. It used to work before, like for years. And now I get an error message. The message says that (in my case) I should contact my messaging service or provider. So here I am ! I'm not very comfortable with Thunderbird and I don't know what to do... It would be very kind to help me or to redirect me to another service that could solve this issue.

Thank you all !

Hello, Each time i log in to Thunderbird, a window opens saying “Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your google account”. So I click on "allow" and I receive a message on my phone to which I reply "yes it was me" but it happens several times each time Thunderbird connects. Any idea? Many thanks Bastien from France Bastienpelenc@mailo.com

Witam, Od wczoraj nie działa poczta: k.kacprzak@macgraf-design.com.pl. Nie wychodzą ani nie przychodzą maile. Sprawdziliśmy serwer i tak jest ok, poczta przychodzi. Na komputerze nic nie ruszaliśmy. Więc nie wiem gdzie leży problem. Proszę o pomoc. Pozdrawiam Karolina Chmiel-Kacprzak

Hi,

Several times a day, at least three or four, Thunderbird becomes unresponsive. I just get the little rotating circle and nothing else. It will go this for as much as three or four minutes.

I have reloaded Thunderbird twice with no improvement.

It happens on all three of my computers running Thunderbird. My mail comes through Google mail and I have two accounts, one through the University and a second private one. They both respond the same way. My computers are PC's.

I hope you can help me as I much prefer Thunderbird over the browser email client for google mail.

My email is dand@umn.edu

Thanks in advance Dan Dahlberg

I've tried Troubleshooting Mode but it only recommends "Clear Startup Cache" and when I click it to reboot the program Thunderbird stills fails to load the Inbox file and Troubleshooting Mode again recommends the same "Clear Startup Cache" as a remedy. Not sure what to do to get Inbox file loaded in program. BTW the program does download new emails to the Inbox file but program is unable to load the file. During Thunderbird program restart the message at the bottom left of Thunderbird window is "Summarizing files for Inbox" which after 20 minutes program crashes ans asks for a reboot. Any corrective action recommendations is appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

The narrow vertical scroll bar in the message pane is painful to use. And it has no down-arrow at the bottom. This is a recent development. I'm using 128.5.2esr (32-bit) on windows 10, on a desktop PC. Is there a solution? Thanks

Hi!

I am using Thunderbird from its beginning (28 years?? more??)

My version is 128.5.2esr (32 bits) few weeks ago, when login, I am notified for each mail I received since my computer was off. They arrive one after the other, as before, I had just one message for each ACCOUNT. So, if I have been mailed 30 messages on 3 accounts, I receive 30 notifications (and before, just 3). Is there some parameter to come back to previous system? Or is it a bug to be fixed? Thanks for answer!

When I am trying to subscribe to https://fosstodon.org/@linkwarden.rss Thunderbird stuck on 8/16 messages. Never finishes. After all I can't find feed in the feeds list and Mail\Feeds\feeds.json doesn't contain 'destFolder'. ```json {

       "url": "https://fosstodon.org/@linkwarden.rss",
       "quickMode": false,
       "options": {
           "version": 2,
           "updates": {
               "enabled": true,
               "updateMinutes": 360,
               "updateUnits": "min",
               "lastUpdateTime": null,
               "lastDownloadTime": null,
               "updatePeriod": "",
               "updateFrequency": "",
               "updateBase": ""
           },
           "category": {
               "enabled": true,
               "prefixEnabled": false,
               "prefix": ""
           }
       },
       "title": "linkwarden",
       "link": "https://fosstodon.org/@linkwarden"
   }

``` But if I try to add it again I got an error "You already have a subscription for this feed"

Hi all,

has there been a recent change in Thunderbird's archiving behavior? Whenever I archive an email in Thunderbird, it only gets marked as deleted since a recent update (about 2-3 weeks ago). The emails then stay in the inbox until I fully delete them. Previously, moving an email to the archive would delete it from the inbox right away.

Is there any option to control this behavior? It makes my inbox quite messy - especially when on the go and already archived emails keep appearing in my inbox.

Many thanks in advance.

I reinstalled thunderbird and cleared the profile folder. Then when I login Gmail, after the OAuth, it tells me "Unable to login at server. Possibly wrong configuration, username or password."

This only happens to Gmail. I also tried Outlook and this didn't happen.

I then tried running thunderbird in the terminal to see what it outputs: (image 2)

"line 232: Script terminated by timeout"

Technical information: TB version: 128.5.1-1 (arch linux aur)

This happened once before, then started working again for a few months and now doing it again. When I start up Thunderbird the emails will not load. I keeps saying "not responding." After around five minutes or so a couple of emails will load and then it's back to "not responding." Then another few or more minutes of waiting and another couple of emails download and back to "not responding." This goes on for hours. Tonight I have been waiting for eight hours and I'm still waiting with no end in sight. I can't do anything else with email until it finishes. This is very frustrating. Can you help?
