I´ve used Gmail through Thunderbird for many years now, mainly because I prefer your treestructure. After changing laptop I discovered that a new map had entered the tree, which turned out to be Gmail´s map "Important" (Viktigt in Swedish). Important stores ALL incoming mail, now over 3 700! There are "only" under 400 in the Incoming map. If I erase a mail from Important it will also be erased from the Incoming map, and vice versa. Important should be for me to decide if a mail should be temporarely stowed there. Can you tell how to clean out only the Important? Best regards and thanks

When I attach a pdf to an email I'm writing I'd like to be able to open it to check it's the right one, but since I updated it won't work, I get the message as per attached. Excel and Word documents no problem.

All of a sudden my account will not open automatically?...asks me for my password?...I have no idea what that is...if you answer via email I cannot open it to see your answer..

I received a request for donations for the 100th time. I have donated to the group more than once, and coincidentally, my system crashed and prompted me to make another donation. We need a permanent fix to stop the donation requests and get Thunderbird functioning properly.

Hi, our city provides a garbage/recycling calendar (weekly) that is added into Google calendar by a url. On my first laptop, when I installed Thunderbird and setup the calendar, the entries showed up (as well as other Google calendar entries). On my 2nd laptop, they don't show up, although other google calendar entries do. Any ideas? Thanks, Shawn

I use many filters to divert many incoming emails to nominated local folders. One filter only started misbehaving last year. It transfers the message but then enters random number of duplicates so filling the folder with garbage. The message gets duplicated 1,2,3,4 times at random.

How can I cure this?

Hi there,

Every time I try to use my emails on Thunderbird, it says it is not connected to the server.

Could you help with this, please?

According my settings the junk mails in junk folder should be deleted after one day. But - instead of deleting these junk mails - the junk mails just move to trash folder (which then must be cleared manually) - absolutely nonsense !! My thunderbird version 139.0.2 - before update to this current version, the junk mails have been DELETED (!!) according my settings and NOT moved to trash

Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration , username or password. Old computer went kaput have a new one but I am now unable to log into mt email account

Regarding: Thunderbird Version 128.11.1esr 　 Please tell me how to make folder pane wider than the system default width of the vertical layout. The reason of this question is that I cannot see full of folder names under the system default width.

hi, My spam folder has disappeared.

The Junk folder is there, but no spam is being moved there. How can I restore the spam folder? Thank you for assistance!

I am currently using tb 128.11.1esr(64-bit) and have the layout set to Classic View. On the right of the screen I have the Today Screen set to mini-month. Is there a way of showing days in that month where there is an event shown in Bold? At the moment I just see the days of the month and have no idea where there is an event. Thank you.

Account appears correct in the settings which has been checked through on line by Microsoft and Apple who suggest its a software issue with Thunderbird. Has anyone any thoughts as to the problem?

Microsoft analysis showed these comments:- "The request time out means your account has server issue which you temporarily cannot yet set up your account in thunderbird. With this, I would highly suggest contacting Apple Support so they can provide to you the correct information and when the server issue will be rectified for your account"

Apple support basically added nothing and suggested I contact Thunderbird Support.

Have just installed TB for the first time (replacing WLM) and am very happy with it. My only problem is that the option to open with a blank page is not working despite leaving the checkbox unchecked. I've tried checking and unchecking but it makes no difference, it always opens with the full setup options displayed. Is there another way to have TB open with a blank page?

Currently switching to Thunderbird from MS LiveMail. Found out, that Thunderbird does not search in attachments. This function is present in MS LM and is regularly used. Is there any solution for Thunderbird? Thank you.

In our work we use the cardbook extension; starting from version 95.2 it began asking the user for permission. I wouldn’t really like to explain to a crowd of users what to do with this request. Is there some way to grant these permissions without asking the user for them?
