Thunderbird Community Forum

I'm having an issue with some of my filters not working. I've checked the several times and they should be set up correctly, but, for some reason, they don't perform their respective actions, even when I press "Run Now".

Also: I recently changed the sorting of my e-mails to be threaded by chain. I like to have all of my most recent e-mails show up at the top, but, within each thread, the most recent e-mail shows at the bottom (see the supposedly-attached image). Is there a way to flip this?

Thank you in advance.

To Scooter. The statements were on different days/times. I can live with this. I think when there were several emails sent from my phone, it was quite a long time on that occasion until they eventually did display in the Thunderbird sent folder. I think I will now review my home sync, and WiFi details etc, so I will shortly close my query. Just before I do this closure, it would be helpful to understand why you asked "if it was a Microsoft account" to which I said "no it's a Gmail address" - is that a possible factor in all of this?

All emails regardless of where they are coming from. Show the email as myself being the sender. As an example, hagerty insurance shows me as the sender and me as a receiver and hagerty insurance as the reply to :

why thunderbird not resreshing from server folder status ?!?!?!?!? i made my own c# email download program to get emails from email folders and trough my program i delete some empty already folders. checking from cpanel web mail with email account folders are gone, but when start thundirbird old folders that i delete are still there !!!!!! why is that ??!?!?!?!

I'm currently noticing that images sent to me aren't appearing in Thunderbird Inbox.

I look at messages first in Mailwasher (while they're still on the server) and download the ones I want to keep or read later. I saw an image in one of today's emails while it was in Mailwasher, but when I read it in Thunderbird, the image wasn't there.

Then I noticed a couple of other emails that mention an attachment, there is nothing there.

Previously received photos are still there.

Is there some setting I accidentally made?

Thanks, Kami

I get the following message sometimes in my MS Outlook email.

"Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally Local Folder/Sent-dwagner@lancorpnet.com.

Network fine, "file access errors"??? It did save it there either. How can I fix this

Hello guys: In MANY YEARS of using Thunderbird, my Incoming messages have started collected in Trash INSTEAD of in the 'Inbox' Folder ALWAYS set in 'Inbox' Folder set as the default: I have spent a lot of times searching for the cause of this malfunction but I can't find to find the cause and the way how to resolve this malfunction. Can anyone provide an effective help to correct this problem please - many thanks, Tony H.

Yesterday, when I opened Thunderbird, I was asked to input my password from two different gmail accounts. Why?

I received e-mails until about 6pm yesterday.

Today, I'm not receiving any e-mails and I cannot send any.

Please help.

I have been using Thunderbird for years and have never had any problems; unfortunately, from few days, every time I try to download my mail, thunderbird starts downloading all my 15,000 emails, even though they have already been downloaded and read. I am desperate... I don't know what to do. Please help me... thanks!

I am having recurring problems sending e-mails, not knowing when it is going to work or not. The following message is one that I usually get:

"Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <info@axxxxx.co.uk> recipient rejected - relay denied.

Please check the message recipient "info@xxxxx.co.uk" and try again."

I also get the following message when trying to send:

"Login to server mail.madasafish.com with username btom@madasafish.com failed."

These are my current settings:

Details of selected server: Description: btom Server Name: mail.madasafish.com Port: 25 User Name: btom@madasafish.com Authentication method: Password, transmitted insecurely Connection Security: None

I haven't changed any settings from the last time I was able to send e-mails, so I would appreciate any help.

Windows 10, latest version on desktop computer.

In all previous versions I was able to open an email from the list in table view (or card view) by right clicking and selecting open message in new tab, window or conversation right from the top 3 choices, now I have to slide over to a sub menu to do the same thing. Why the change? Plenty of space for the 3 options unless you are on a phone and that's a different app. I'm told Windows 11 has some of the same changes making you have extra clicks for something that was 1 click hurting your productivity.

Otherwise this version is an improvement since it opens the program faster and some things seem more responsive similar to the versions many years ago that did not have as many features.

Emails were not appearing in the Thunderbird (v128.11.0esr (64-bit), on a Windows 10 laptop) Inbox from a newly opened Gmail account (though they did appear in All Mail). The Gmail account was opened with default options, and it was added to Thunderbird with default options. They did appear in the Gmail app on an Android phone, but with the label 'Primary' rather than 'Inbox'. Investigation of Gmail accessed via a web browser showed that the Inbox contained four tabs: 'Primary', 'Promotions', 'Social' and 'Updates'. Doing Get started with Gmail > Customize your inbox > Default > Customize allowed me to "Deselect all categories to go back to your old inbox". This didn't fix Thunderbird (even though I forced a Get New Messages for) but, after I'd blundered around a bit more, it started working. So, I'm not sure whether I did something else to fix it, or it just took several minutes to start working. Also, the Android phone now shows 'Inbox' rather than 'Primary'. Question: Is there a way of sorting this out at the Thunderbird end, without having to make setup changes at the Gmail end? It would be very useful if Thunderbird could sort this out automatically when we add a Gmail account. Until then, it would be useful if your solution or, if no solution, my work-around could be publicised in Help. Thank You

Windows: Win11 24H2 Thunderbird: Version 139.0.1

The screenshot shows the reminder window. The window appeared, I enter sleep on the computer, come out of sleep, there is no window. The same thing happens if I close Thunderbird (with a cross in the upper right corner) and then launch it. And the same thing happens after the computer is turned off and on.

What actions have I done to understand the problem: 1) deleted the profile and created a new empty one, i.e. profile files have no effect on this; 2) reinstalled Thunderbird.

The problem started 3-4 days ago. The problem may have occurred after the Thunderbird program update - the update was on June 2.

Hello - I have 2 Thunderbird accounts supported by gmail. A recent issue has occurred that I cannot seem to resolve. Both accounts are active and accessible on my Android cell phone. Only 1 account is now accessible on my laptop. I have tried all available solutions to get Google to "recognize" this second account but no success. My last email received via laptop Thunderbird was May 1. Any suggestions? Thanks very much, Jim

Just today, not able to send or receive emails (google mail). Trying to send gives an error: 'Send failed. Peer's certificate... invalid signature'. Receiving is silent - just no downloading. Google's web client works ok.

Not aware of anything changing. Thunderbird is up to date (128.11.0esr (64-bit)). Windows 11.

I've not changed any settings ( still SSL/ OAuth2)

any help much appreciated. thanks Gordon

I tried to use the Thunderbird Import function but it won't allow me to tick the Calendar function. If I can't import my calendar from my outlook program then I can't use Thunderbird. Very frustrating.

Incoming e-mails do not always appear in the inbox when they arrive. They always do appear but there are often delays, sometimes of a few minutes, sometimes of several hours, and sometimes of many hours. At the end of the delay they always do appear, with the time at which they were sent indicated, even though that time is earlier than the time at which they appear in my inbox. I have sometimes sent e-mails to myself, as tests -- and these are also often delayed for five or ten minutes. I am not aware of any actions that I take that precipitates either the start or the end of the delay.
