Help! Why are my gmail emails inbox and sent not showing up since 11/18/24 ?? I have shut down several times now. I have attached a screen shot of my server settings. Does that show something? Im running windows 7 professional Thank you!

Hello, I recently came back from being abroad to find out I am not able to send emails from my MAC computer. I am able to on my phone but not my computer. I had tried everything yesterday with our server guys and there is something on the Thunderbird side that is not allowing me to fix the issues.

If I log into the web mail, I am able to send e-mails.

I have discovered that the emails in Thunderbird I have saved from earlier in 2024 are listed in Thunderbird but do not open for my talk talk and gmail accounts. Also some even older emails still open and some do not. How can I access them again via Thunderbird? I have attached two screen shot as an example to show how they are listed and what happens when I open the email.

When I was cleaning up mails in Thunderbird I noted that the Inbox under Local Folders is presented as containing zero messages, but the Inbox file under <my profile>/Mail/Local Folders contains roughly 400 MB of data. A quick look (via awk) tells me the messages already exist in other folders or are those that I have cleaned out.

A bit of background: I have for years downloaded (POP3) mail locally and and stored in my own folders under Local Folders. Message filters are set up to move each received mail to one of three folders. Nothing is supposed to end up in the default Inbox.

Any ideas of how to best reduce the size of the Inbox file?

Dear Thunderbird Community,

whenever I delete a message or sort a message into a folder the attached Error message appears. The result is very disturbing since no matter whether I click on OK nor the red button, my Thunderbird eMail account and all folders are empty - don't show any files anymore. I am forced to close Thunderbird and open it again each time !! The file I deleted is deleted and the file I transferred into the folder has been transferred but whenever I repeat any such activities Thuderbird basically shuts down showing attached Error message.

I still have 350 Gigabyte free space on the disk and yes, of course, it's my laptop with me being the one and only authorised to write on it.

Anybody with any idea what I could/should do to solve this issue?

Best regards, Michael

I have just opened Thunderbird email software, which I have had for years. A new version has been installed, as instructed, but ALL my email address files have been wiped. How can I recover all those email addresses please? Please respond to my main email address as follows:

shawphilip7@aol.com

When creating a new event in calendar, the event organizer always shows the same incorrect email address. The calendar settings have the correct email but this is ignored. Create a new event and then invite attendees; the event organizer always has the same email address regardless of which calendar I am adding the event to. The incorrect email address that is shown is an old one that I do not use anymore.

My calendar syncs with a nextcloud calendar. It seems that TB is getting the email address used for password recovery and notifications and using for the meeting organizer. The email address set in the calendar properties in Nextcloud seems to be ignored.

Is this a bug, is there any chance to fix it?

I am unable to download new email from my Yahoo/ATT account. I get no error message when I try. Previously worked without a problem for several months after having installed Thunderbird on my new PC running Win11.

Sporadically, in Thunderbird Mobile Android (Pixel 9), deleted emails do not go into the Trash Folder. E.g., as of today it shows some emails deleted today, but then there is a gap going back 4 days. Nor does it (the Trash Folder) appear to sync with the server which shows "No Messages" on my Windows 11 computer. Started about 4-5 days ago (21Nov).

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)

my thunderbird quite downloading messages. I don't get any errors or warnings or anything. It won't download when thunderbird first opens and it won't download if I click download. It doesn't do anything at all to tell me if I have an error. It just doesn't download. My email works online and on iphone still. Win 11 Mozzila browser i7

I have been using Thunderbird for years, and it's usually worked great. Please read through what I have done so far:

---

When I opened Thunderbird today, I was greeted by an empty screen, no E-Mails.

When I receive Mails, I still get notifications and when I click them, a new fullscreen tab with the E-Mail is displayed and when I close it, I'm back to the empty screen.

I have restarted my computer since. I was able to access my E-Mails via other clients, so I could do my work, but it's still really disrupting right now.

Attached you find multiple images, one of the empty screen, one of the other tabs working (contacts) and one of my accounts being properly setup.

Now, when I used the troubleshooting mode to reset my toolbars, it suddenly started working again. However, a new problem: Now the grouped view no longer works, and this time I was unable to restore the functionality.

When I try to enable it, nothing happens and when I open that menu again, the checkbox is gone.

This is the dev console output when I try to enable it:

``` Error intiating smart mode. : Component returned failure code: 0x80550005 [nsIMsgFolder.msgDatabase]

Troubleshooting mode does not help here.

I would really like to see this fixed, as I use Thunderbird mainly via the grouped inbox. Thank you for any help on this.
