why just today is all my incoming emails coming to trasha nd not my in box in Thunderbird worked fine in the morning but i am not getting any mail in my in box it is all going to trash

It does not appear in the message search. Perhaps the emails of a particular account are not included in the search, but is there a way to address this? I have already rebuilt the “global search database”.

No matter what I do all I get is this: Login to server imap.gmail.com with username smyn1118 failed. and: Unable to log in to server. Probably wrong configuration, user name or password. Any ideas? ....... Sam

Hello,

Scrolling vertically with mouse-wheel in Thunderbird is uneven and unstable, while scrolling in Firefox* is perfect. (*or any other program) What could be wrong?

Thanks, Mark

Contacts with only an Organization and no first and last name will not synchronize to iCloud. I have to add the company name in the last name field to get it to sync. Running version 139.0.2 (64-bit).

Thunderbird 138/139, Windows 11 Pro 23H2. While composing a message, after a few lines the app freezes. Both the compose window and the main TB window freeze. Only opening the Windows Task manager allows me to close them. This did not happen with earlier versions.

If I save the message every few seconds while composing I can get most of the message back and continue after restarting TB. This behavior is the same in both the normal and troubleshooting TB modes. I can't even find a crash log to send to Mozilla.

Where shall I look next?

Thank you!

We've not changed any settings and today the name and email address of the sender of an email no longer appear when replying. It's always appeared prior to today.

Hello My wife was writing a long email and saved at regular intervals. Today my wife asked where here email, in drafts, was as she could only find one with a few characters for the message .... it's possible that she has blank the whole draft at some point and hence the saved draft with just 3 characters. Is there anyway to access the previosuly saved versions? Even if she could access one which only had 3/4 or 1/2 of what she typed it would help .... I feel that the lastest version of the saved message is all she has ?? Anyone know different? Many thanks in anticipation Neill

Group contacts have been established and the group is listed in the Address page. An email is prepared and the group name is inserted in the bcc slot. An x appears to the left of the group name. The Send button is grayed out and the email can't be sent. What is the problem?

Version 128.11.0esr (64-bit) Tbird won't download emails from server. I get a bunch of status messages at the bottom left of the screen: looking up server, connecting, checking server capabilities, etc, then everything just stops. No downloads. If I access this account via webmail, there *are* emails there that Tbird just won't download. No error messages of any kind, just those status messages in that bar along the bottom of the window. All appears well... but no messages.

On the sending sider, I can't send anything from the account either (image attached.) So there appears to be both a connection error (sending) and NO connection error (receiving.) Got me chasing my own tail in circles - - tried a couple of different email apps and they're all working as they should, same settings, both send and receive. I've never used anything other than Thunderbird and REALLY don't want to change, but if it isn't working, looks like I'll have to, like it or not. Any ideas gratefully received!

Move Thunderbird data to a new computer

I have the complete Thunderbird folder with 15 years of POP mail.

Install Thunderbird on new PC and overwrite the complete folder?

will be the same version of thunderbird.

I recently deleted a gmail account from my TB. It was a shared account so that account is still open but I have no more need of accessing it. So I went into my TB\Account Actions\Remove Account. It no longer exists on my main TB page which shows my different email accounts. Suddenly, and constantly, I have this window pop up, requesting my login info, which I no longer have. When I close the window, it just opens back up. I have to close it in order to get to my main TB window. It's horribly frustrating. Any ideas??

AOL made me do a 2 step verification and now Thunderbird won't connect to AOL. Thunderbird keeps asking for my AOL password, which I enter, but it won't connect. I'm guessing it's because AOL wants the code that they text me before allowing a connection. So if this is the case, how do I get around it? Thanks much for any help.
