Hello, I upgraded to your 'unstable' version of Mozilla Thunderbird for email last year. The past few months it has been taking as much as 5 minutes before it opens up to the home page (in box). And in the past few weeks, the New Message icon top left of home screen has disappeared. So, I can only send emails to people who are already in my inbox, and trash box, by clicking on reply. I can't send an email to a new person that I want to email for the first time ever.

Is it possible to go back to the old version of Thunderbird? How would I do that, and would I lose all the emails currently in my inbox, and in my Files?

Trying to set up Thunderbird on new computer. I do NOT want to import anything but address book from old computer. I use Thunderbird to Gmail since I also have an Android phone and want to access emails with Thunderbird and Gmail. I downloaded the Thunderbird installer, but I cannot log into Gmail when the Thunderbird setup asks me to EVEN THOUGH I know I am using the correct Gmail password, it is rejected as incorrect. Do I need to set up a whole new Gmail account? I MUST use the same email address, and I doubt Google will allow me to set up a new account with that address.

Please help.

Hello

Version 128.5.2 esr.

After starting the program, entering the password and checking the "check box" MT does not remember the passwords for the email account and Google. The password manager is empty. After restarting it is the same.

Back to the topic.

MT new installation - does not remember passwords despite checking the "checkbox" in the IMAP account. This also applies to Google accounts for calendar (non-IMAP account). The password manager is empty. After restarting MT, the same.

I have been using Thunderbird for many, many years now and been happy with it.

However last 6 months or so, it has been constantly crashing, often several times a day. Crash reports almost never get sent as it says there is a technical error.

Using a HP Spectre 360 (7 years old) with Windows 10. All windows updates have been applied, and constantly virus checked etc. No other programs giving me grief like Thunderbird which is the most important program. Before Thunderbird I used Eudora which was also great. Always regretted changing to Thunderbird.

I am now over it and Thunderbird. How do I transfer all my emails, attachments etc going back 10-12 years or so to a new email program.

Any suggestions regarding a better email client. Don't want to use Outlook. Have been looking at Proton Mail.

Somewhere in between the latest Thunderbird update and me switching broadband providers from Virgin to Sky and back to Virgin again, all in the space of about a week, this problem has developed with sending emails.

At first when i switched from Virgin, I got a message that my NTL email address would no longer work after 90 days, as it was owned by Virgin. Each time I wanted to send from my NTL account I got a pop-up message asking me (Think I recall correctly) to insert my NTL password. I ignored it and switched my sending email address to my gmail email account. Now I find difficulty sending both in Gmail and in Virgin, sometimes having to wait several minutes for the email to go, sometimes it not going at all, other times waiting for a copy, then occasionally "can't copy to the "sent" folder so save in "Local Folder".

I would be grateful for advice how to revert to the previous excellent service i always had with Thunderbird.

It seems that ever since my Thunderbird auto-updated to 128.5.1, sending messages with attachments is VERY slow. I just sent a client an email with a 6.9 MB attachment and it took over 2 minutes to send. A few weeks ago, that would have gotten sent in seconds. I tried cleaning out my Inbox and Sent box by moving most of the messages to local folders, but no change. Any thoughts? Anyone else having this issue?

I've been using Thunderbird for a very long time, supporting it's development with modest contribution. Until recently everything went smoothly when sending a message (I use 2 email accounts). However since a couple of weeks, there seems to be a delay when ever I send an email. Usually I was able to send a mail and keep working through my other mails. But this seems not to be the case anymore; Once I've clicked on sent (which is instant) I wanna to work/read other emails a message appears (TB does not reply anymore) and then only 5 seconds later I can keep scrooling through my list. It's strange. Any idea where this comes from. Many thanks for your answers. Stefan

Gmail - deleted auto save drafts are shown in app, how to safely delete in TB?

Hello, The description of the old add-on, which is unfortunately no longer compatible, says it all: https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-us/thunderbird/addon/auto-save-drafts-folders/

Case 2: You are using Gmail IMAP. Gmail automatically copies deleted emails to the trash folder. This means that if you took your time writing an email, there would be multiple copies of the draft in your Trash folder when you got done. One for each time auto save ran.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this in TB >128?

Thank you

My mother has an iPrimus email address which she accesses through Thunderbird. Today, she noticed a large chunk of her emails had disappeared out of the blue. IPrimus couldn't find the issue or locate the missing emails and were under the impression it was a Thunderbird - third-party- issue. Can anyone please step me through how to retrieve emails or reset activity? Is there also a direct line with Thunderbird to speak with?
