For some reason, I am getting message that the Certificate for server is not valid (etc.). I can not get or send my emails as of this morning. Is there something I can do to resolve this issue?

Hi, I've been using Thunderbird for years. I have thousands of emails organized into folders based on at least 8 different email addresses. Today, all the mail from one of the folders disappeared, even though no intervention was made. The restore folder command didn't help either. The size shows 0 kb (it should contain many years of correspondence). I looked in the File explorer in the Profile folder, but both the cur and tmp folders are empty. It's not among the deleted items (of course I didn't delete them, I just checked there). I ran scandisk on the drive, no errors. I searched for email addresses in Thunderbird, it found emails from 2 years ago, but it could not display, it said "cannot be displayed". I have no more ideas. Please help me. Thanks.

Hello,

interesting behavior with a CalDaV calendar entry/date.

Scenario: Create a calendar-entry (date) with an alarm-setting (1h before...). Wait until the new entry is synced to the CalDAV server, in my case a Nextcloud. Close TB. Got to the Nextcloud calendar, or to and other client with that CalDAV Calendar, and remove the alarm, I do frequently in case the date paste... Start TB. After sync of the calendar, TB is telling you, that the date was changed at the server and asked "how to handle the detected conflict" (see screenshot). But 1. it isn't a conflict, just a normal change, which should change the local, "old" date 2. acting on the conflict resolution by pressing the button "Skip changes, load new" (Änderungen verwerfen und neu laden), I'm expecting to get the server version exchanging the local, old one... It does not: The local version will stay with the alarm. These date will not sync to server until TB is restarted. The alarm is now back on the server.

If the alarm is removed at the server (or on another client) while TB is running, the alarm is removed locally as "normal" change by synchronization...

I guess it is a bug!?

I'm using TB Version 128.4.3esr; build-id: 20241108210256 on Windows 11 (64bit). But this is also with TB under Linux (ubuntu, mint)

All my archived mail simply disappeared. I don't remember 'where' it was exactly because the layout seems to have been changed. It might have been in a 'Local Folders' that has its own 'archive', where I can now put new mail I want to archive. Or it might have been in the 'Archives' in the Unified Folder's list (an equal to Junk and Trash etc).

I want my emails to be listed with the latest up top, and then chronologically. I have selected countless times "unthread emails" but it's not listing mails separately in chronological order. It's especially frustrating as I want Firebird to be a viable alternative.

Tbird has not downloaded new emails since 29 Nov 2024 from either the gmail server or yahoo. I have not changed anything on the computer. I have tried turning off the VPN. I have verified the login information is correct. I have reinstalled with 128.5.1 esr. I have been using Tbird for years, the only thing that has changed is Tbird is not working.

TIA

I do not see server settings option. Under account settings, I see outgoing server (SMTP) but not incoming! PLEASE HELP as my service provider changed their email client server settings and unless I can update, I cannot use Thunderbird.

I have an issue where, from one day to the next, one of my employees lost the "open thread in a new tab" option. This option was available when right-clicking on a message and then selecting "open/open thread in a new tab." The option no longer works in the "inbox" folder, but it does still work in individual subfolders.

Long time Thunderbird user here...

This started about 2 days ago. I have changed nothing in my email account settings and MailWasher is able to download all new messages with identical account settings.

When I hit the Get Messages button, an Error Notice appears stating that "Connection to Server <my server details> has been interrupted." This Notice disappears pretty quickly so I can't capture it for you.

What is this referring to and how can I rectify the situation to enable me to receive New Messages? Although MailWasher can receive the new messages Ok, it is not a practical email client with which to manage my email correspondence.

What ever you can do to assist me with rectifying this will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards, Mal McNelley.

Delete function does NOT delete initially, it goes into 'Not responding' mode for many minutes. This issue is getting worse over the weeks. Any one any ideas please?? Alan O

During November my Thunderbird client 128.5.1esr (and the previous release too) stop sending email with my employer Office365 account. I can download email (IMAP) but not send email. I get the following window after a few seconds (see screenshot below):

          Login to account "Microsoft 365" failed
          Login to server smtp.office365.com with username XXXXX failed.

          [ Enter New Password ]               [ Cancel ]. [ Retry ]

The password is correct but if I try to Enter a New Password, nothing happens. Retry displays the same window again. I see that many people had this problem in the past and I have tried all possible solutions to no avail (configuration is correct, deleting and creating the account again, etc.).

I have been using Thunderbird for over ten years and today is the first time I have ever received error messages, no less two back to back that are preventing me from downloading new messages. I know that I have sufficient disk space and don't know how to correct the rest of the errors in the 2 attached images of the error mesages.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

As indicated, when checking messages, indicator shows that imap is being queried but it takes forever to load the messages. This may have been happening in beta 133.xx too.

Two computers, Thunderbird 115 and 133 on Kubuntu Linux 22.04 and 24.04 accessing the same mail folder on NAS.

I have had considerable trouble with Thunderbird snap and networking. I have now de-snapped and installed the binary.

Some mails in my Inbox appear to be there but are unable to be read. This is all emails prior to 9th November 2024. All other emails are accessible, in Archives and Sent folders, including those prior to that date - it is only the Inbox emails. The data appears to be there - the Size column shows the size correctly - and Status is displayed. When I open an email I get a completely blank Tab and yet all the info is shown in Table view - Subject, From and Date for each email is displayed correctly. They also show blank in the viewing pane.

Emails after 8th November are all displayed correctly. These emails go back many years and are important to me

Any help appreciated.

Here on Debian 12 with Thunderbird 128.5.0esr, it has become impossible to resize any of the elements in the classic view. I expect that hovering the mouse over the dividers between the various panes will change the pointer type and let me push the dividing lines up and down, or side to side. That just doesn't happen.

Actually, the problem is not limited to the classic view. Resizing anything has just quit working in any and all viewing layouts offered by Thunderbird.

There are some related threads here where people use custom CSS to work around limitations on what proportions can eventually be chosen. That's not my problem. I cannot make _any changes at all_. In the classic view, the pane in which the message text appears is uncomfortably small, but I can see several dozen message subject lines.

The behaviour is the same when I start Thunderbird in safe mode. Are there other non-destructive things worth trying? Thanks.

Thunderbird is our e-mail client. We have a number of e-mail addresses. On one of our computers we can receive but not send on one of our verizon.net e-mail accounts. All of the outgoing server information (except the username is the same for both accounts. When we try to send e-mail from the one account it just hangs and never sends (I eventually cancel sending). We are running Windows 11 Professional on the affected machine. Thunderbird is successfully managing e-mail from multiple e-mail providers. When I had time I looked on-line for solutions, nothing I found worked. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
