Dear all,

i have some problems with an update from Thunderbird.

To complete the update, my initial password is requested. But I have forgotten this password !!

My e-Mail - accout with Thunderbird is bchristophersen@t-online.de

I hope, you can give me help.

Thanks in advance

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!

Can no longer view passwords as I get a popup headed "Windows Security" asking for a user name and password. Tried several combination for the various email address without success. This has only happened within the last couple of days. Please advise

I selected options to send me a copy of an email and now my inbox has all my mail in draft form with send only option and the note "A unique identity matching the from address was not found. the message will be sent using the current field and settings for identity" - mine

Trying to send a message under imap protocole i get an error message that i cannot understand. What can I do ? Error message is "Component returned failure code 0x80004005 etc Alain HIS

I have used Thunderbird for years without issue. In the last 2 days, it keeps crashing on one of my laptops (fine on the other). I sent a crash report, but I can't reopen Thunderbird. I tried both quitting and restarting. I shut down my computer and restarted it. I tried updating by downloading the latest version, but that didn't work either. I completely uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and it worked for a few hours. Now, it is back to the Crash Report.

Any suggestions? I love TB and don't want to switch to something else.

im after some help please. Please could someone help and advise what the size of gb allowed on a single email account on TB ? also can it be increased by paying for more space ?

secondly ; i am using imap due to syncing across multiple devices ( pop3 doesn't sync for me with my iphone / pc ) Could i save emails by filing them to a folder on my pc if i am running out of server space ? and if so how would i go about that? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can give me. Cheers

Hello,

Thunderbird v128.5.0 esr (November 2024) Installation of a few days. I am new to Thunderbird. I have only one email account.

I use directories in "Local folders" to manage incoming emails. I want to move (Move to) an email from "Incoming mail" to a directory previously created in "Local folders" --> IMPOSSIBLE I drag the email to the directory but nothing happens, the destination directory remains empty!? No error message?

Can you inform me about this problem, Thank you

I would like to share my 500+ filtres with my colleague on the info email that we both work with. How do we share filtres?

How do we share filtres continually when he or I create a new filtre?

How do we start by sharing my filtres with him?

We've tried with the addon Import/Export but that only deals with folders not filtres

Thank you in advance for assisting - maybe by creating the addon?

Hello,

I'm having trouble opening mail from a remote folder.

I ran this command to authorize the removable media: sudo snap connect thunderbird:removable-media :removable-media

If I mount my remote folder via fstab with this configuration, I can open remote mail with Thunderbird:

user@server:remote_folder/ /media/user/remote_folder fuse.sshfs noauto,x-systemd.device-timeout=5,x-systemd.mount-timeout=5,x-systemd. automount,follow_symlinks,rw,_netdev,users,idmap=user,uid=1000,gid=1000,IdentityFile=/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa,allow_other,reconnect,ServerAliveInterval=5,ServerAliveCountMax=1 0 0

On the other hand, if I mount the same remote folder with the sshfs command :

sshfs -o idmap=user user@server:remote_folder /media/user/remote_folder -o follow_symlinks

Unable to open mail.

Would you have an idea, please?

Thanks for you answer.

I have thunderbird installed as per the data above on windows 11. The issue is every time i open thunderbird , its starts downloading and indexing the messages , please see the image below

У меня есть почта на tutamail.com, но я не могу её настроить, так как не знаю, как это сделать.

translate.yandex: I have mail on the site tutamail.com, but I can't set it up because I don't know how to do it.

Since I subscribed for a monthly donation last year how can I delete the your Donation message page which shows up every time I open Thunderbird for my email? Best regards Thierry Scheidegger
