After a bit I use Thunderbird, my sent emails are not copied, out of nowhere. I need to kill thunderbird

and then it is fine for a few hours, until it happens again. This since weeks. The error I get is:

our message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-XXXX@XXXXXX.edu.

How can I solve it?

Dual folders in Thunderbird: such as "Sent & Sent Mail", "Drafts and Drafts", "Bin and Deleted", "All Mail and Important", but the final answer in the earlier thread just doesn't work for me. How can I delete these annoying duplicated folders? I am using Gmail, and also a provider-specific email (BT.Com) and duplicate folders appear there, too: "Sent" and "Sent", "Deleted Items" and "Deleted", and "Unwanted". How do just delete the unwanted folders? Thank you

My computer crashed, but luckily I had a good backup. I had to reinstall thunderbird, which brought easily all my email back. However there were group lists in thunderbird that are gone. How can I retrieve them? The list would have had one name, but would have 20-50 people on the list. What to do?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hello there. I've followed the instructions in the appropriate support article and transferred our Thunderbird profile from a Widows 10 machine to a Windows 11. My profile as a .zip file is larger than the 2GB limit, so I used the Widows Explorer cut and paste. It's likely that I've done something slightly awry as one of my local sub folders hasn't transferred. Otherwise TB works fine. Is it possible to just restore the particular local folder, as I can find both the entries in my mail folder on windows explorer? However the view of the two entries looks rather different on the two computers when I compare a local folder that has transferred. Regards, Arthur

I'm experiencing an issue with Thunderbird that started unexpectedly. Whenever I try to access my email, I get a warning message saying that "The site certificate is not valid for this server. Someone may be trying to impersonate the server. It is not recommended to proceed."

I'm not sure why this error has suddenly appeared, as everything was working fine before. I haven’t made any changes to my email settings or installed new software recently. Has anyone else encountered this issue or knows how to resolve it?

J'ai changé d'ordinateur.Mon installateur m'a installé Thunderbird et je ne retrouve aucune trace des mails que j'envoie...Cette fonction n'est-elle pas prévue sur Thunderbird?

Bonjour Mes mails reçus ne s'affichent plus sur Mozzilla je les reçois bien sur une autre application

Remarque Mes mails envoyés s'affichent bien

A few months ago something happened which didn't allow access to emails. It may have been after an update. I was forced to re-download, I put my info in and all I have now is current email messages and access. I lost years of saved emails, Folder, Address books and info from different email accounts that I had set up on Thunderbird. I've since been using my emails website to handle things Is it possible to recover my lost information? How do I do that? Thank you, Joe

I have had Thunderbird for several years but have never had a junk or trash box, now getting messages re too many emails. How do I install a trash box as if I delete an email its gone forever

My account is izak@ibomax.co.za. This is not the first time that I donated but failed to connect and load Thunderbird. Seemed like I was tricked into donating without being able to use the program.

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone else has this problem. I sometimes don't check this email account for a week or two at a time. Every time I start Thunderbird and download mail after days of not checking, it starts filtering mail and then crashes after a few minutes. I have a lot of filters. 169 and growing. Some have multiple addresses to filter. According to the filter log, it crashed after less than 2 minutes of filtering, but it seemed like it was chugging away at filtering longer than that before it crashed. If I restart and download a small number of messages it doesn't crash. If I manually run the filters on the inbox, it doesn't crash. Is there something I can try other than checking mail more often? Thanks!
