    Formating, it must be gone now?
    When you update, delete and reinstall your profile is kept and only program-files are deleted / replaced. All your prefs , account details, mail, folders and add-ons are intact.
    All that is in a hidden directory %appdata%\roaming\thunderbird\profiles\.......

  • How can I delete an e-mail account in Thunderbird?

    I have somehow acquired an e-mail account that only appears to show itself in Thunderbird and a screen continues to request a password. That account does not appear in my "Profiles and Settings", but I wish to delete it. The address is "my name" followed by: @mail.talktalk.net

    Simply enter the configurations menu from settings, go to personal config and the account should be listed there, select options and delete.
    Simple! :-)

  • How can I delete and e-mail address from thunderbird?

    I tried to download my e-mail address to thunderbird, but the spelling of the domain was wrong. I then added the e-mail account with a correctly spelled name. Now I have two e-mail accounts and it keeps trying to connect with the wrong one. I need to get it deleted from the account.

    From the menu bar select Tools-Account Settings
    Select the account to remove.
    At the bottom of the account list select Account Actions-Remove Account
    No menu bar? Press the alt key.

  • Spinning circle * Thunderbird is not responding when I try to write or access emails. I had attempted to delete a bunch of old txt messages in seldom used Gmail

    I saw I had almost 30,000 txt messages on a Gmail account that I had created a gmail account for on Thunderbird. I didn't realize that they were going here from Gmail. I highlighted all of them and attempted to delete them. The spinning circle finally went away and all of them were gone. But when I tried to do anything else on Thunderbird with my regular email accounts (Comcast & Hotmail), I would get a spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. I had to use Ctrl Alt Del and then reopen. I tried compacting but this morning when I tried to write an email from one of my Comcast emails in Thunderbird, again I got the spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. In order to do anything, I have to close the program by hitting Crrl Alt Del and try again.
    My Trash Local folders says 8300.
    This morning, when I tried accessing Thunderbird at the bottom of the taskbar it said, "downloading....of 17,000 to All Mail. Had no clue what that meant. I let it continue until all were and thought my issue would be resolved. But no. :(
    Something obviously got corrupted in the program. What do I need to do to fix this?
    Thank you.

  • How can I customise Thunderbird message columns to show sender raw address (not display name) and the "Received for" email address that was used to reach me?

    I find it increasingly important to be able to see a sender's actual email address rather than just display name, as they usually don't show a company name - which a domain always would. Is there a way to customise settings/write a script/tweak files to add raw email & domain name columns? When dealing with a number of people at the same company it is hard to order or glance through a list of emails to find them. I also know 2 people with the same name at different companies and it is impossible to distinguish!
    Secondly, as a related column addition, since a number of email aliases reach me it would be useful to have a column to show the "Received..for" part of the message source which reveals the actual email used in the To/CC/BCC which led to me. Again can this be tweaked or scripted?
    I have programming experience but have not made add-ons and would be open to a suggestion which involves creating a custom add-on if adding columns with custom values is possible that way.
    Best Regards,
    Drew

    Extended message headers can be searched from Edit/Find/Search Messages, or the folder context menu, by adding custom headers to the search criteria. So, you might be able to create a search on specific properties of a message.
    The method of adding custom headers to searches is the same as the one described here for filters:

  • I cannot get emails to download to my Thunderbird site, though I have not changed any settings or passwords, and I can still access my Xfinity email.

    I have talked to Comcast support and Comcast Security Assurance, and they tell me that the problem I am having with my Thunderbird email is a problem with Thunderbird and Mozilla since I can access my Xfinity account with no problems. On my Thunderbird email site, it says that it is connected to Comcast.net with my correct email, and that it is "downloading 1 of 19 emails", but they never come through. My husband and I use the same computer, but have separate email accounts. His is working fine. I checked all the port connections etc with Comcast, and they are all set up the same. We have not changed passwords or anything else on our email sites, and have been using this email program for 11 months, since we bought this new computer. It is a Dell OptiPlex 960 with Windows 7, and we have had no problems with email up to this point. I am thoroughly frustrated at this point and don't know what else to do. I understand there is no phone number to connect with Thunderbird......I am a 67 year old "non techie" female, so I would appreciate suggestions for me to follow be simple an explanatory! Thanks.

    First, is the Mute switch activated?
    Mute switch is above the volume buttons on the left side of iPhone.
    If you see red/orange color the the mute is ON.
    Also check Settings > Sounds > for New mail, Text Tone, etc.. have sound entries?
    If that's not the case try
    Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

  • In windows 8.1 when using thunderbird, I can't delete an email in the inbox when a write screen is open. Delete works when no write is open. Any ideas?

    Using Thunderbird 31.5.0. Windows 8.1 (unfortunate garbage version)

    Mark them as Junk and Thunderbird will gradually learn what is and isn't "spam" (it prefers the term "Junk") and will start sorting them automatically.
    You are indeed experiencing abnormally high levels of spam. Any thoughts on why? You do need to be selective about where you post your email address, and it helps to have multiple email addresses which you can use for different purposes. Also, never unsubscribe from unsolicited email messages. Just delete them.

  • For several weeks, Thunderbird downloads the same emails more than once, back to back. Also when I try to delete messages, "Thunderbird does not respond."

    The entire screen whites out when I try to delete or open another email. The margin above the File button shows that "Thunderbird is not responding." Finally, a new window appears in the middle of the screen asking me if I want to close Thunderbird. I am not sure if this problem started when I renewed my McAfee Total Protection program approx. 2 months ago. I also have over 1000 messages saved in both received emails and sent emails. I would like to just highlight a full page of them and delete all messages at once, but this is not possible.
    Thank you for your time.

  • In my newest desktop version of Thunderbird the arrow that marked my emails as ' already replied to' is gone. How can I get it back?

    In the newest version of Thunderbird my inbox doesn't show anymore the arrow that indicated I have replied to an email, which is quite annoying. The arrow to indicate I have forwarded a message is still there but the other one is gone. I like to have it back.

    You did run ''Thunderbird'' in its safe mode (as opposed to Windows or even Firefox)?
    I too would suspect a theme. And Thunderbird's Safe Mode disables all such add-ons.

  • Firefox will not start and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. It will go to a link from Thunderbird once Firefox is open, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    Firefox will not ''start'' and open a website from a Thunderbird email link. A link from Thunderbird will open once Firefox is ''already'' started, but will not initially start Firefox and proceed to open the Thunderbird email link.

    I also have this problem. I cannot open links from a discussion board I frequent nor can I open links from my email. Also after opening my email, I cannot go to any other sites except my home page. I can then go no where else.
    When I close Firefox and try to reopen it, it does nothing! I have to bring up the Task Manager and end the Firefox process before I can get back in.
    To the best of my knowledge, this problem started with the new update to Ver. 3.6.9. I am running Windows XP Media Center 2005

  • My keyboard in thunderbird is confused, printing the wrong letter or symbol for many non-lettered keys. Can you help?

    My Most symbols such as ? > < @ # $ 5 6 & " ' etc are all confused. I do not get what I actually type. This is only in Thunderbird. In Word 7, all is well.

  • The name for my email in thunderbird now has a Paddle Lock showing on it. What does this mean? Can I get it off?

    When I open thunderbird and get logged in my Email address name at the top of my thunderbird email has a Paddle Lock on it. What does that mean? Can I get it off? I am using a VERIZON email address. Over the last 2 days I have not been able to down load any of my incoming email messages. It keeps asking me for my Password which I type in and then it says its incorrect. After resubmitting my password I get a Error message says #0012 password incorrect. Is this something thunderbird did or happened from the new update for Ver. 31.1.2? I need help.

    The padlock indicates a secure connection to the server. You don't want to get rid of that.
    Please check with Verizon whether something has changed on their end.

  • I compacted my folders in Thunderbird, now all my emails are gone. Where are they, and how can I retrieve them?

    When Thunderbird asked if I wanted to compact all files, thinking this would just make better use of the space, I agreed. Now my emails have disappeared. I tried "Repair Folder" but nothing has returned. Any idea where I can find my emails?
