Forum der Gemeinschaft Thunderbird

I am an longtime user but not a freak in using the system. I have the feeling that ISPs have difficulty in implementing good standards, but Thunderbird as well. I had a sequence of issues and failures and had to repair them by continuously changing settings and now it becomes virtually inoperable. I do not want to spend time in solving all these issues, if expert fora suggests pieces of python code as solution I have to conclude that the system does not work any more. One other problem TB changes apparently so much its own menu structure that that is also not working any more. And solutions given cannot be implemented. Sorry to say, this is immature freaky programming, you need some serious system engineers and managers to repair the chaos. Google and ISPs will anyhow continue with their own interest so Thunderbird should be robust against the outside inconsistencies. My complaint is both for the calender as the mail handling. Sorry to say, I am willing to pay that you could hire good programmers, but the volunteers with proper guiding are possibly better qualified. I hope you can solve the issues - changing fully to another environment implies reorganising my work environment.

Hoping you can recover, success, Lars Venema

Hi,

I’m using Thunderbird with unified folders to manage 12 email accounts. I’d like to configure Thunderbird to hide the account folders for unselected accounts in the unified folders pane. I’ve noticed that the Postbox app does this — it only shows the folders for the selected account.

Is it possible to achieve the same behavior in Thunderbird?

Thanks

Добрый день! Убрал галку с настройки "Автоматически отмечать сообщения как прочитанные не работает", однако в почте по прежнему письма становятся прочитанными, что делать?

Где находится данная настройка, нахожу только в поиске =(

Добрый день. Пришлите пожалуйста инструкцию, как можно уменьшить занятое место на почтовом сервере с помощью mozilla thunderbird, делая эти письма доступными для архивного просмотра в thunderbird?

After the update to the new version of Thunderbird, it is running slow with "not responding" messages. It takes a few minutes to download emails from Google Mail but eventually works. I run widows 10 on 64bit Del laptop with 8GB RAM. I cannot upgrade to Windows 11 as my system will not support it.

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i3 CPU M 370 @ 2.40GHz 2.39 GHz Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.80 GB usable) System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

I started using Thunderbird several months ago. I use Windows10 and Edge; using the settings advised by optus. Optusnet is my email server. With some difficulty I downloaded my address book via a CSV file. Emails to or from Yahoo addresses do not arrive. A sent message records as having been sent and is in the sent box but is not received by the addressee. Arriving emails do not arrive from Yahoo. All other email addresses appear to be delivered ok. I have double checked all of communication settings. Please advise.

Hello all. :-)

Since the last update, I can SEND email fine(including attachments), but when I OPEN any email, all the items on the screen show up like editable objects, none of the links work, you can't download or otherwise access any attachment, and I am getting a cryptic message in yellow at the bottom of the window.

I tried downgrading to the last version that worked, but then TB would not allow me to import the profile, as the latest version has obviously done something in the profile, to make it incompatible if you downgrade - I just get a message that you can't import the profile, it was created in a newer version of TB......sod off. ;-)

I have attached images of what I am seeing. I have pixelized my email address etc, for privacy.

Can anyone help?

New user here. I am trying to clean out my inbox (over 10000 emails). I select multiple emails trying to delete them. However, no matter if I hit the delete key, the trashcan, or right-click and select "delete selected messages"; only 1 email is deleted.

What am I doing wrong?

The latest Thunderbird releases have been crashing regularly, with these submitted reports. I'm trying to ascertain what I need to do to mitigate or eliminate the crashes.

etc, ad nauseum going back to 03 October.

In the last 2 weeks my wife Thunderbird refuses to send emails. The attached image is the error message. I got Telstra to reset her P/W, but Thunderbird still asks for a P/W. Using her details on Telstra webmail, messages are sent with no problem. I had same problem back in September, but I can't remember how it was solved. Your help would be much appreciated.

I copied Thunderbird folder in on my old computer to thumb drive. I Installed Thunderbird on new computer. I replaced the Thunderbird folder on the new computer with the data from the old computer. The folder on old computer had over 9,300 files. I ran the Thunderbird on the new computer. The old mail data was not shown. I was asked to create and new mail account the new computer. Mail from old computer did NOT appear. What is needed to get all of my mail, addresses and calendar data to the new computer. A large number of files are in the folder. see a sample of the names are attached,

thanks

First of all, I love your product. Have used it for many years.On a club computer trying to put it on my computer and it is endless checking passwords. No matter what I try when installing my yahoo in my or my gmail account

It has verified it with both email providers. The provider show the thunderbird is being used as a client. I have tried this with the email password and without no matter what I do I cannot get past this problem. I have windows ten

Hello, I've been trying to figure out why my TB program has stopped responding to the email button on my Logitech K270 keyboard. It calls up the Windows Mail 8, but not TB. Everything else on the keyboard works fine, but it will not call up the TB program. I've tried various settings in SetPoint, 6.9, but it won't work. I've tried contacting Logitech, but so far, they've been no help, so I'm hoping somebody here, has run into the same thing, and figured it out. I mean, why would the button work for Windows Mail, but not TB?

Thanks in advance.
