je fais comment ?

merci

Ich konnte unter "Posteingang" Unterordner anlegen, um E-Mails darin zu verteilen. Früher konnte man dieselben Unterordnernamen auch unter "Gesendet" erstellen und ich möchte das auch wieder machen. Wieso wird das nicht mehr angeboten? Gibt es einen Ersatz?

Thunderbird freezes on loading. It seems to be working (window notifications show incoming mails). The top bar has one item which says "loading" but never does! I am running WIN 11 pro with AVG. I have tried the following: - open TH in program safe mode - Open TH with laptop in safe mode - uninstall and reinstall - Open with antivirus turned off - Deleted all .msf files in current profile (judging by time and date) which seems to have been called xxxxxxxxx.repair . On restart TH did not reinstate the .msf files and the blank frozen screen was still there. - there were about 4 other profiles in the directory although in reality there should only be one. These profiles have various names: defaultnew, default (2 off), default-release and repair. - All profiles except the one with ".repair" were copied to another location before restarting. Any help would be appreciated.

recently i am having problems with sending emails from my desktop, via thunderbird. it keeps asking me to sign in with my new password. however i have not changed my password with virgin. i can send an email from my phone, so i know its not virgin. i have spent 3hours reading up and checked the server and outgoing settings, and changed switched adjusted what i could see, and set them back to the original settings, which in effect meant i have done nothing, and all of a sudden it works again. this did happen a couple of week ago, so not sure what's going on, and i really haven't got a clue what im doing, so any help or advice would be appreciated.

I can receive emails fine now as I had trouble for a while and didn't use Thunderbird which was a shame as I like it a lot. But now when I try and send an email it comes up with an error message. Please when answering this please keep it really simple when explaining as I am not very computer savvy. tia. I have enclosed the error message

Since 21/12 on my win 10 pc Thunderbird wont send or receive emails . My accounts are all gmail accounts and have been working fine for several years. I get message box as in attached screen shot. I have current Norton 360 subscription and run free Malwarebytes showing no malware etc. Have I been hacked, do I need to delete accounts and reenter them? Help please

Some emails I receive, when I reply to them, don't correctly display the email (body text) correctly. It looks like Thunderbird is choosing the wrong font colour for the reply email text and I'm after any info on why this happens and how to fix it.

Attached are two screen shots. "original.jpg" shows the original email and "reply.jpg" is my reply email. It doesn't always happen and it *may* be emails sent out by Zendesk.

I'm on latest TBird 128.6.0esr but it's been happening for the last few releases.

Recently, I've been receiving the following message:

"The folder '[Gmail]/Trash on **********@gmail.com' 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."

I have plenty of disk space available. I have checked the security settings for the installation directory and all related directories, and I have full access to them all. I have tried windoze checkdsk <volume>: /F /R which found no problems at all. Just for fun, I ran defrag to clean-up and defragment everything, followed by another chkdsk like before. Still no joy :-( I keep getting the message:

"The folder '[Gmail]/Trash on **********@gmail.com' 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."

When I opened Thunderbird to get and read my new email I received this error message after I could see that Thunderbird had found new messages.

"Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

I checked the hard drive space on all of my hard drives and I have GBytes of space and in PREFERENCES for the hard drive, WRITE is allowed. In fact all items listed in Preferences is set to allow.

I've rebooted the computer and even had Windows check my hard drive for errors and it found no problems. What do I now need to do? Thank you. Fred Berney

Hi everyone.

Since I constantly switch between multiple computers, some of them Windows, some Ubuntu, some dual boot, I have installed portable clients for both platforms onto an USB stick. These are set up to use the same profile folder. Generally, this works fine.

However, I have one issue with my POP3 accounts, which are set up to keep messages on the server for 7 days. After I have fetched a message with the Linux client, checking for messages with the Windows client will fetch the message again, resulting in duplicates.

I checked the data being written to popstate.dat and checked the knowledge base to find out the issue. I found out that the "Flag" (always "k") and "UIDL" sections are written identically by the two clients, but the "Timestamp" section is different, which causes the issue. According to the knowledge base, "The message's time stamp in the file corresponds to the date and time in the From - line at the top of the message source." Needless to say that the message sources of the duplicates are identical, so this doesn't add up.

So here are my questions: 1. Why is a timestamp written to popstate.dat in the first place? Shouldn't the UIDL be enough to uniquely identify a message? 2. Why is the timestamp calculated differently from the same source data on Linux and Windows clients?

Thanks, Ansgar

This problem started after the latest Firefox update was installed. I have looked in Thunderbird Solutions but with the only one that comes close to my problem the person was able to switch to a different profile. I don't have another profile that I can do that with. In another one the problem was solved with a bug fix in a newer version. I already have the newest version. ??? Please help.

When I want to delete an open email I have always used the delete function in the upper right hand corner of the open email. Since the program did it's major update there are times when I click on delete nothing happens and I have to keep clicking on it several times for it to finally delete the email. Also, when I open Thunderbird and then try to download my messages, many times the screen goes gray and I get a message at the top of the page that says Thunderbird is not responding. I have disabled all add ons and have tried to resolve this in troubleshooting mode but still no resolution. Thunderbird just isn't the same since the major update.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird for emails. Somehow I have clicked something and lost the actual email, unless I double click on it and then it appears as though I am replying to said email. I have the columns subject/correspondence/date and that is all. I've tried many ways to get the emails back on screen, but can't see how. I'm not overly computer literate. Many thanks for any help.

Hello,

am I correct that there is today no way to save the attachments of several (many!) emails of a folder in Thunderbird?

I have the same email address since the 90s and many thousands of emails, many with good memories (photos). I came from Eudora who had a great idea: an attachment folder :). From the technical side Thunderbird is probably doing this ok, but from the user perspective, it is not nice that all attachment are quite lost in the mailbox files.

I know that there are addons and other software that say that can do this task, but the most popular addon is kind of not developed at the moment I guess, and I also got errors.

What would be your recommendation for my task ?
