Open in Conversation no longer an option in Thunderbird 128.5.2esr. The shortcut, shift control O, does not work anymore either.

Is there an add-on that will restore this essential bit of functionality?

I have set a "Filter Rule" to forward any email with match to another folder. The issue is those email are also showing up in my inbox. I only need these in the "Moved Folder".

Hello! I recently got the update to Thunderbird 128 on my PopOS laptop via sudo apt update/upgrade. I don't know what the previous version was. Since the update, Thunderbird will spike my CPU to 120 - 140% (per command-line "top") if I have an interaction with it (e.g. reading and then deleting an email that was received) after the program has been sitting idle for several minutes. After a few minutes of loud fans, things calm down again so I presume Thunderbird is doing some sort of maintenance routine that completes successfully.

I do not have the global search index thing turned on. I did not change the default mailbox db idle time. I do have rather large mailboxes that are synced via SMTP, from three different providers. There are dozens of folders (not hundreds) containing thousands if messages (but not tens of thousands). Hopefully that gives an idea of scale .. I don't have a massive overload of untended email history but I do have a quantity of historical emails that the system has to deal with.

I followed the excellent directions online to obtain a profile during one of these high-cpu sessions. It is available at https://share.firefox.dev/4dAmyAz

Please let me know if there is anything further I can do to help diagnose this issue, such as generating more specific profiles. The high-cpu state is a pretty common occurrance now.

Since updating Thunderbird lately to 128.3.3esr (64-bit), "Open in conversation" is grayed out, SHIFT+CTRL+O shortcut also doesn't work. There is a small chance it happened on a previous update, I'm not sure. This function is something I use regularly so this bothers me greatly. I tried rebuilding the global database according to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/rebuilding-global-database with no luck - the problem persists. The file now has 1,18 MB, I'm quite certain it was significantly larger before. The problem occurs in all accounts I have and it worked on all of them before. Threading itself works properly if I go to View>Sort by>Threaded so the messages are recognized as threads properly.

Thunderbird continues to delete my trash and inbox emails. I have tried multiple times to adjust the settings through those individual folders, but it does not seem to work. I've tried going to Tools>Account Settings>Synchronization & Storage>Disc Space where I changed the setting to never delete. Unfortunately, the SAVE box does not show on my screen so I'm assuming that is the problem. How do I get the SAVE box to show so I can save my settings.

Thunderbird has been working fine for years, and a few days ago I went to check email and the program only cycles and won't respond, I've done the regular things, like restart the modem, computer and redownload the program. I have windows 11 home, on a laptop, and thunderbird has about 100 saved messages.

As of 8am Sunday 12/22/2024 Thunderbird stopped retrieving email from my email accounts. These are @cox.net accounts that Cox transferred to Yahoo many months ago. I logged into Yahoo Email and my mail is there. I have not made any changes. The last email I got via Thunderbird was time stamped 7:59am.

Hello,

I hope you're doing well. I'm a faitthfull supporter of mozzila and thunderbird, so happy to have the app thunderbird now - thanks for that :) I'm using thunderbird to access my outlook adress since years. But, few weeks ago I can't send mail anymore (still receiving it) via thunderbird. I tried a lot of solutions, checked online the [[topic Microsoft OAuth Authentication and Thunderbird in 2024|https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202?_gl=1*pm7jt7*_ga*MzEzODU1MDYyLjE2ODkyMzY3NTE.*_ga_R3H4BDP5J2*MTczNDk2ODU4Mi4xLjAuMTczNDk2ODU4Mi4wLjAuMA..]] topic

But still nothing, I'm beginning to despair and I don't want stop using thunderbird but it's become really anoying. Can you help me please?

thanks and merry christmas ! Yo

I have tried global settings and the settings in Thunderbird but whenever i reply to a message the text is very small. I can enlarge it but have to do it for each message... Help! Please...

Thunderbird was open when my Ubuntu Unity 24.04.1 LTS system abruptly powered off. When I restarted the system, Thunderbird first downloaded a ton of duplicate Emails from pop.gmail.com. Once I cleared those out, Thunderbird now times out attempting to reconnect. I am running the .deb (not the snap) version of Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit). I'm sure something got corrupted and I'd like to get that straightened out. Thanks in advance.

By the way, I do have both the Cardbook and GCalTab addons which read my contacts and calendar entries from Google just fine. Only the Gmail portion is FUBAR.

The email in question is "GiantFoodStores@email-giantfoodstores.com" of course without the quotes. I have added to my personal email address book along with choosing not junk email but the email still goes to the junk email account folder. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you and Merry Christmas to all and a happy New Year's Joe

I am having intermittent problems with inbound email messages showing only the "Subject" and everything else blank.

This only happens with emails from known persons or groups, and does not seem to happen with spam mail, or advertising and news email.

My email folder is nearing 200GB. Could this be the problem ? I also have an aging laptop, would moving my email to a new machine with better processing power fix this....???

Hoping someone else has seen this issue and can help.

Thank you !

Hi, Thunderbird was working fine in the morning, but later in the day, it suddenly stopped downloading messages from my Hotmail inbox and asked for my password again. When I entered my password, I got the following error message:

"Sending of password for user mazyarm@hotmail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop-mail.outlook.com responded: Authentication failure: unknown user name or bad password."

Thunderbird won't sign in to check emails. I also get the message:

"Login to server pop-mail.outlook.com with username mazyarm@hotmail.com failed."

And those are the messages I now get whenever I click on the Get Messages button. However, I am still able to access my Hotmail account directly using the Firefox web browser, so I know that my username and password are not the problem.

Does anyone know what's going on? How do I solve this problem? Thank you, Maz
