New domain just set up, added one email address with no problem, unable to add 2nd email from same domain, error message Incoming server already exists. Help please, quite urgent to get this working.

I have not found a setting in thunderbird that allows thunderbird to keep using and orange or yellow star next to new messages, at least for the same day, after opening any message. As soon as I open a message, all of the orange or yellow stars that indicate new messages disappear. To me, that is illogical and unnecessary. Is there a setting in thunderbird that would change this behavior and keep the stars beside the new messages?

My thunderbird program has suddenly started to display the mail from only one of my four accounts. The accounts can be seen flashing behind the default on startup but I cannot find a way to display them as they were before and as they work on other machines I have. This is a toshiba laptop which has worked perfectly with thunderbird till now.

Thunderbird (now 102.9.0) appears to change structures/methods from time to time, leaving me unable to find mail folders. This time, creating a new folder does what it should do, but then I can't find the folder afterward. It's there somewhere, but Thunderbird has no tool to find a folder - nor to search for a folder, or to relocate a folder. I can tell the folder exists, because I can't create another one. It's there, somewhere.

Aside from opening folders from A-Z, there seems to be no quick way to find a new folder (nor any folder, for that matter) that I can discover. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Is it possible to open links from Thunderbird with non-default browser?

I came across a similar old question on superuser and from there this article but even after setting network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https to true Thunderbird does not prompt for browser to use.

I am using Thunderbird version 102.9.0

I finally updated my iMac to Big Sur (11.7.4). Thunderbird (102.9.0) "works" OK, but the inbox message list is, like, invisible. That is, the list is there, but it cannot be seen. I can click on any line of the invisible list, and that message is called up in the message pane, like normal. This makes it very hard to find any particular past email -- I've got to click on each line of the invisible inbox message list, one after the other, just to see what it is. Any fix for this? Thanks!

BTW, the sent mail message list shows up like normal.

Hello, need to automatic delete all mesages older than 30 days. Have filter for that but seems it doesn't work because I still see 369 messages in folder. If I run filter manually, it works and remove old messages fine.

Any idea please? Thank you

With the recent update to Thunderbird I am getting the following error when I click on a link that will take me to the internet for information.

In a window I get

Choose Application Choose an application to open the HTTP link

When I click on the tab for the application it searches for an application (*.exe;*.com) that is not there.

Please assist me, I will even allow remote access to better resolve this headache!

My TB v102.8.0 has just stopped downloading new messages. I can see new messages on my web server, Optusnet, but they don't download to TB. TB can obviously see the new messages because it counts them and shows a running total just like it was executing the download, but doesn't actually download or show the new message(s) in my TB 'in' box. I was automatically upgraded to TB v.102.9.0 and I thought that this might be the problem, but when i restored to v102.8.0 the problem was still there. My VPN on or off doesn't seem to affect the problem Any thoughts? cheers Peter

My wife had years of emails in her inbox (over 100K!). She finally started cleaning up but accidentally deleted almost everything. This was an IMAP account on my server. She called me over and I went into the Trash and all the emails were there. I tried moving a bunch back and Thunderbird hung. After waiting I had to kill it and when I restarted it the Trash folder was empty.

I looked on the server and the files had been cleared even though nobody emptied the Trash.

I looked in her Thunderbird folder and I can see Inbox and Trash are both ~9.3G. Following some guides I checked and every email in both INBOX and Trash have "X-Mozilla-Status: 0001" meaning they are read but not deleted. I've tried several things including deleting INBOX.msf and Trash.msf but nothing gets recovered.

I can see all 100K+ emails in Trash. Any idea how to get them out? I've seen a couple of programs that say they can recover deleted emails but I'm not sure they are legitimate.

When I enter a new email address I routinely get this message: LDAP Server Password Required. What do I need to do to get rid of this pop-up box which asks for a password?

Hello.

For a few years that I use ThunderBird as a mail client for accounts.

From time to time that I receive emails that appears completely blank.

In that cases, I will always find a tag like this one: <mailscannerform24590 style="display: none;" form="" method="post" action="-" id="WebForm1" name="WebForm1"> And I have to remove the "display: none;" from the email source to be able to see the email contents.

I know that this is probably the correct behavior for the mentioned style sheet, but is there a way to prevent this situation?

Cheers.

I have filters to send emails from X address to a specific folder. This morning, there were 3 unread messages in the folder. TB didn't show them as read, although I'd moved onto & read all 3 until I clicked onto an older message in the folder. Same for the number in the parentheses. I'd noticed this problem before, but it seemed to disappear in subsequent updates. Now it's back. It's annoying to have to go back onto new but read emails to get rid of the folder's indication that there's 3 or 4 or however many new messages.

This is a comment, last time I posted re: a problem the response was a single proposed solution that my statement indicated I'd already tried w/no success, it wasn't helpful. For all I know, no one else has noticed this, no one will think it's worth bothering with.

As the title says, I was prompted to download and install the latest Thunderbird, I did, and on restart about 5 of my IMAP folders disappeared! I'm connection to the Apple iCloud, and everything has been working just fine until I did the update this AM. I have not changing any settings in ages.

How do I get them back?

I discovered a week old email when querying my email account in a browser that was automatically marked as spam, but is not spam. Marked it as "no spam" and as "unread" and moved it back to the inbox. Then launched Thunderbird and after launching it I again force thunderbird to retrieve mails from all my accounts, but this mail was ignored by Thunderbird. Waiting for several hours and trying again doesn't help either.

What' wrong?

Thunderbird v102.9.0 - Email.Provider: gmx - Method: POP (and changing to IMAP is no solution for me)

I lost all of my subfolders when updating to TB version 112.0b1 today. I have read a ton of articles and none seemed offer a solution (or least not a solution that worked or I could understand). It appears these missing folders are in the following folder: (C) > Users > AppData > Roaming > Thunderbird > Profiles > 3lqu3vu8.default > Mail > mail.comcast.net > Sent.sbd > Storage Folders.sbd > Inbox Storage.sbd The names and size of the subfolders seem to be a perfect match for what is missing. How can get this folders (or the information in these folders) back into the Inbox? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I recently installed a replacement Desktop computer and installed Thunderbird as is on my laptop. I Sync both machines. Under my old setup both Spam and Junk worked fine with Junk going to Junk folder and nothing to Spam that I remember. Now about 80% to 90% of incoming mail goes to Spam folder on both machines and I can't find any way to fix it. No settings for Spam. 1) I have entered good mail addresses into my address book in both computers. 2) I have selected Not Junk for all good mail on both machines several times. Can't find a way to select Not Spam. 3) Windows 11 on desktop & Windows 10 on Laptop. Still no improvement and most mail going to Spam. Would it help to turn off Sync? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated as I would really like to stay with Thunderbird if I can. Currently I am checking my Spam folder before the Inbox.
