Installing my Gmail's address book should i import it? should i use my Gmail address? to identify the address book? for example: When writing an email i must type the recipient's email address. Thunderbird is not referring my gmail's address book.

I would want to be using my personal address book that is in Gmail.

Gmail is already sync'd to Thunderbird and appears to be functioning correctly except for the above issue. thanks for any guidance, DW

Trying to install T'bird on a new computer. Already have it installed on three PCs and two tablets. Server setting is POP.centurylink.net but T'bird only gives the option for POP3.xxxxx. Using POP3.xxxxx won't let me configure the account. How do I fix this problem? Thanks,

I have downloaded an update from Thunderbird about a week ago, and since then I have been unable to send emails. when trying, a box appears that tells me i MUST ENABLE AUTHENTICATION TO USE THE EMAIL SERVER? My provider ,SLINGSHOT.CO.NZ cant seem to help at this stage. I did find while searching Thunderbird that the recent down load w as not completed,why, I dont know. But I desperately need Thunderbird to get my outward mail operating. Thank you, J. Tresidder c/o-email. --johnnyripper@slingshot.co.nz.

A few days ago my wife clicked to open an email and the whole Thunderbird page changed so that it is now almost un-usable. I tried using the program that allows you to recover to a previous day with no luck. In frustration I saved the email file from profiles, uninstalled Thunderbird, rebooted then downloaded a new copy of the software and installed it, no luck, it opened with all my emails in the same almost un-usable configuration I can still receive email from a webmail program but it is slow and frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Bruce

I had a defective hard drive that was replaced. I lost the profiles that I had previously on the old hard drive (Except for the profiles from a year ago). Is it possible to reinstall Thunderbird as if it was a completely new program, link it to Spectrum webmail, and recover all my emails still on Spectrum webmail. and also create a new recreated profile. Thank you.

I have three email account in Thunderbird, two are AT&T (bellsouth.net) and one is gmail. One of the bellsouth emails is VERY slow, reading and deleting, but the other two emails run very good, no problems at all with reading or deleting. I have read through many many similar but not quite the same questions in the forum and I have tried every one of the suggested things to try to fix this but it is still a problem. Any new suggestions?

I see it as Thunderbird hijacking the resources of my computer to run Firefox and take me to the donation website. I'm fine with the request for money in the Thunderbird screen, I can navigate away from that. Don't open programs other than Thunderbird before I require them.

I have Thunderbird 128.4.2 (32 bit) on Windows 10 Home (64 bit). I want to add a second email account. To do this, I used File> New> Email Account. I entered the email address and password. TB found and entered a server configuration. The new email address appears in the Folder List but has only an Inbox folder after it. The other folders (Sent, Junk, Trash) are missing. Test messages show the new address in TB will send a message correctly except it hangs trying to save the sent message. The new address is unable to receive a message. Please advise how to get the new email account (outlook.com) set up in Thunderbird. Thank you.

Hi. I've recently lost the ability to have a unified in-box. I have five e-mail accounts, all of which are IMAP accounts. In addition, with the recent thunderbird upgrade my windows 10 pc client has moved each e-mail account around (up and down) and I can't figure out how to change the location in the left pane or otherwise order / align the e-mail accounts. Any assistance appreciated.

Recently my outgoing messages have started being directed to my Local Folders sent folder and not retained in my email account sent folder? Is there a stting to correct this

I don't seem to be able to get threading to work for me in card view. I have downloaded the add on and i am still having challenges. Can you help me understand what i am missing?

Dear Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am experiencing a significant slowdown in email synchronization in Thunderbird. Emails take a noticeably long time to appear after clicking, and the overall syncing process is extremely slow across all folders.

The problem began on Friday, December 6th, following my use of the "Repair" button on the Inbox (8.9GB) and Sent (10.7GB) folders. After initiating the repair for the Sent folder, synchronization across all folders (Inbox, Sent, Spam, etc.) slowed down considerably.

Already done: Checked "All Mail" on Google IMAP: The folder does not appear in IMAP. Troubleshoot Mode: Attempted, but it did not resolve the issue. Reinstalled Thunderbird: Uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird on my Mac, but the problem persists.

The issue seems isolated to Thunderbird and does not impact my Mac’s overall performance, memory usage, or speed. The synchronization delay affects only Thunderbird, while other applications function normally. I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to resolve this issue and restore normal synchronization performance.

Thank you in advance for your support!

For many years I have enjoyed using Mozilla Firefox Web Browser and Mozilla Thunderbird email client. Apart from the occasional glitch, everything has run well until I installed the latest Thunderbird Version 128.1 esr, earlier this month. I had used Message Filters to move inbox emails directly into my Local Folders. Now there is no option to either create a new folder or create a new sub folder. I tried to convert a little used Local Folder, and lost the sub folders. I don't know where they went and cannot restore them. Q1. I just do not understand how to use this new version. Do Mozilla have an instruction manual for using the V128.1 esr? How do I alter the previous version installation to be compatible with this one? Q 2. If, for the time being, I would like to stick with the familiar previous version, how do I do that? Mozilla are convinced V128.1 esr is a big step forward. I need your help to convince me to change and how to do it. Regards, Colin
