I want to enter a whole lot of addresses into a particular address book but I find when I try to enter them there seems nowhere to click to say 'do it'. Have I missed something?

And how do I enter multiple addresses?

I'm using the latest version of TB: 128.4.3esr (32-bit) . . . But, I think I have noticed this on previous versions, also.

I like to Disallow Remote content from loading, for security purposes, and then to select to Allow it or not.

But I notice that if Remote content is Disallowed, when I click to delete the email, sometimes it works as expected, and sometimes it does not. The problem is, it's like it deletes it, but then another copy of the email appears. It will not delete. I have to hit Escape, and then delete it in the list. Then that does nothing. I have to close and re-open TB to see that the email is gone.

This is in contrast to how if I just Allow Remote content, deleting an email always works as expected, but then there is the security risk.

If you get a lot of emails you don't want, it's nice to be able to delete them quickly.

What is hanging it up, if you Disallow Remote content?

I have tried Deleting smart mailboxes and virtualFolders.dat . . . This didn't do anything

I'm finding threads that include the correct emails for the subject, but also additional emails that do NOT relate to the original subject. How do I pull the other "subjects" from being in the wrong thread and create their own thread. See the highlighted emails in the attached image. Each color represents a separate thread that should stand on its own.

Thanks.

Why would we suddenly stop receiving emails on ALL our thunderbird emails at 300 pm 11/20/24? Some get message local network down. Can send test and that goes through but outside vendors not receiving. How do we troubleshoot? need help because do not know where to look

In our company we have many clients which are using Thunderbird to send and recieve there Emails. We create a new Newsgroup and smtp with the same settings for all. There is one Client with the issue of losing all configuration set. It happens one time per month. The newsgroup, smtp settings and so on are lost AND i don't know why. All the others don't have this issue.

Do you guys have any ideas why this could happen? I am a little bit frustrated...

Greetings from Robin

good day First I was informed to empty my mailbox, I have already deleted about 400 emails from a folder. Hold down Ctrl, e.g. select 27 emails, right click, trash can symbol - 27 emails deleted. If I continue to do this, only the bottom of the selected emails will be deleted. Deleting another 600 emails in this way would take the whole day. What is the reason for this, how can I fix the problem?

Is there no way to stop thunderbird from constantly asking for pw? None of the posted suggestions work. In addition, oassword manager saves some in the wrong format - stmp/ instead of imap/

Any ideas are welcome before I am forced out of thunderbird.

Hello. A few months ago, folk on here kindly helped me fix my connection to Outlook accounts. But, suddenly, things have gone wrong... though I have done nothing with any settings. I get the message: "You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site." If I click on "Get Certificate", nothing happens. If I remove ".587" from the field, I get "Peer's Certificate is not recognised". But I can't get or send any emails. Does anyone have any suggestions, please? Thanks!

Bonjour Depuis la dernière mise à jour je n'arrive plus à envoyer un message et nous sommes plusieurs dans ce cas J'ai essayer de vérifier ma configuration smtp mais sans succès Voilà le message d'erreur : OFR203_200 Merci pour votre aide Ci-joint un capture de cette configuration

Whenever I delete an e-mail from my inbox, all the other messages disappear. I have to exit Thunderbird and re-enter to get them back. What is going on and how do I fix it please ?

I created a saved search on Thunderbird (POP, mac M1) to get all messages not older that 5 days. The result is aberrant: only a few messages are found and not the right ones.

I tried deleting and recreating the smart folder, with no success. I also tried to compact folders. No improvement.

Hi,

My company and I use your service and I'm doing an investigation by trying to track who created a sub-folder and when. I was wondering if someone could assist me with that or if you could potentially send me a step-by-step guide on how to do so myself?

Your assistance in this regard would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Marlon.

I am running 128.4.4 on Mac 15.1.1. When a message is received and viewed under Original HTML when viewing the email, I have the standard yellow images removed bar at the top of the email. Still, the option button on the right is no longer available to select download.

I have tried the following with no luck: a. Restarted in safe mode with no add-ons b. Made sure that the Allow remote content is unchecked. c. Made sure that permissions.default.image is set to 1 d. Reinstalled Thunderbird e. Made sure that exceptions for the add-ons are empty. f. Clearing out disk cache and history.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I recently moved from one email hosting company to a new one and in doing so Thunderbird (128.4.3esr (64-bit)) has become very corrupted. I attach a screen shot of the folders, which shows imap folders in local folders and the wrong order of email folders in imap. How can I resolve this please?

I keep getting emails that are unread or labeled "important" not visible in my inbox, while still showing in the list of folders that there's unread messages in the inbox. it's a gmail account. There's no filters, I've tried repairing the folder. I just noticed this happening in multiple gmail accounts. This is literally a critical failure for thunderbird and I'll need to find a replacement if I can't fix this.

Emails I SEND to recipients (some? all?) arrive completely blacked out. If the recipient HIGHLIGHTS where the text should be with the cursor, the text magically appears. Using Windows dark mode. Is there something I can do to fix this?

I believe my current problem is related to the earlier question I asked. See https://tinyurl.com/mr2rye3b for background.

I am now being required to enter a username and password for the newsgroup, everytime I start Thunderbird. This was not true before I had to start from scratch and re-setup Thunderbird. And it hasn't been true since I completed my new setup ... until yesterday.

When Thunderbird starts, I get the attached. Sometimes the same demand for logon credentials appears twice.

I don't want to enter any logon credentials when I run Thunderbird - as it was before. Is there a way to avoid this?
