Hello, after updating the last version 128.10.0 I cannot send emails anymore. I read online about possible solutions, nothing worked. I have an updated Windows 11, my provider is KPN (Telfort). Telfort is a company that has been taken over by KPN, but I can still use my Telfort email address and smtp.telfort.nl as smtp address. That has not changed. I tried several adjustment for the smtp adrress, but the problem remained.

 I hope you can help me, thank you.

Hello, I use IMAP accounts for my online emails. And like yearly I make a mass copy of emails from an online folder to a local folder. I used the function "copy to" in the context menu, alternatively moving the mouse together with ctrl for the copy option. In my current version (nearly new...) the copy process is completely in the background (no info on progress etc.). And also no info on failing. And it does fail, after copying a small portion of the selected emails.

I would be totally fine with a modal dialog process, that is thunderbird blocked until the process has finished. Is there an option? Or any other way to have a bit more control on the process status and success? Thank you

Hello, My TB account is setup properly and I am getting mails from my gmail account. But when I compose mail on my TB account I am not prompted for any address completion while composing the e-mail. On Thunderbird and my web gmail there are many e-mail ids in the inbox.

How do I make TB so that it prompts me with these e-mail ids which are in Inbox when I compose mail?

Any help will be apprecated. Thank you, Deepak

Hello everybody I'm using Thunderbird version 115.10.1 (64-Bit) German. This question appeared some years ago. Now I'm still confronted with the same question. When I reply to messages or I'm up to forward a message, my signature is not inserted. I used TB for a very long time and I used this feature in the past extensively. I think, this must be an issue to TB .

Hi,

I'm getting low disk space available messages on my Windows 10 Pro PC.

Wiztree (see attached image) is showing 128gb in my imap.gmail.com folder.

Some time ago I started to get fairly regular popups about compacting my folders, which seemed to take an eternity without seeming to achieve too much, and I noticed that every time the TB application was shut down and restarted, the Inbox would show mails starting from 9/5/2022 every time (see attachment) and then gradually start to slowly load all more recent mails. In the lower left of application, is the message "Downloading message xxx of xx,xxx in Inbox" and it slowly counts away.

Around this time I had ine excess of 40,000 messages (many with attachments) and I began deleting all the larger attachment emails, and slowly started to cull older emails to where I now have 14,000.

The disk useage appears to have worsened over the past few months.

I'm thinking I have some sort of corruption in the database??

Please advise as to best way forward.

Thanks in anticipation, Peter

Right now Thunderbird is taking all my deleted Comcast email and undeleting it. It's doing it for every folder and going back to 2008. This happened about a year ago o a gmail account. I hope it doesn't hop over to gmail when it's done with Comcast. This is TERRIBLE! Did a setting change with the last update? What can I do other than manually go through thousands of emails and re-delete?

I am having a problem with receiving emails that are someone replying to an email I sent. I don't hear back from them and when I give them a call to see why they haven't responded they say, yes they have. So I go and type their name in the search bar at the very top and it shows me their responses and says that the email is in my inbox but it isn't! How do I figure out where these emails actually are and how can I get it to stop doing this?

I was using my email receiving and send in the late evening everything was fine. Next morning I get up and now I cannot send emails. What the heck happened. I've been using outlook and I hate it. I want my Thunderbird back. First it comes up with box that says "login to smtp.gmai.com with user name has fail.' Then asked to enter new password which I don't have but I try different passwords anyway. After a few tries it seems to connect to something and tries to send the message. But after a few seconds nothing happens. Did Thunderbird update that night and bigger things up? I'm so upset.

Hi,

Using the latest version.

I've just done a search for a text string and have a list of messages 600 exactly. I select all and right click and "Move messages to", and select a folder name.

Nothing happens.

If I do it on a single message the message moves successfully. A group of two messages also appears to work. Sometimes a group of three will work but anything more than that, nothing happens.

It does appear to think the messages have been moved because when I right click, in the menu I see "Move to <foldername> again" as an option. But If I use the option "Open Message in containing folder", it takes to to the Inbox and not the folder.

If I open the Activity panel, When I try 1, 2, or sometimes 3, I see an entry appear moving the message/s, but when I try to do them in bulk, no entry appears.

I have 600 messages to move, how can I achieve this?
