Thunderbird tabs for open emails keep disappearing

I tend to have several emails open at once, to deal with them as I can (or to remember, then delete once I've acted). I also tend to have lots of emails in my inbox, usually over 1000, sometimes 1500. (Yes, I do have subfolders set up, but those are for saving messages, and my inbox is for things I haven't yet read or responded to.)
All too frequently, I'll have five or six open emails, hence five or six tabs across the top. Then the next time I open Thunderbird, they're all gone except the Inbox. The emails aren't gone, but of course, I can't find them anymore because I don't remember which ones were open. It's getting really annoying and frustrating.
Sometimes, I'll close an email, but it doesn't close, another one does. That warns me that the display has corrupted, and next time I open the program, all my open tabs will be gone.
Any ideas what's going on, and how to stop it from happening?

Thanks. I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, and Thunderbird 24.6.0.

Tab page and customization keeps disappearing

For the last two days, my tabs page and customization keep disappearing. When I open a new tab, it is completely blank, with no preloaded sites. When I try to add items such as bookmarks, home, search, adblock, etc to the address bar, they appear as if they have been added but do not appear on the page, nor do they appear after I shut down and restart Firefox. I have refreshed multiple times in the last few days. At that point, I can see the tabs page, see the settings gear, and can populate tabs, pin them etc. I can also get the customization to work. Most recently, the tab page was there, and I could see sites loaded, but the images were missing and never appeared. Sometimes when I shut down the computer, the settings are all saved, but other times they all disappear and the process starts all over again. This includes when I close Firefox with the Exit command under File rather than using the red X option.

Other users have reported problems with FoxTab recently: the reviews for it over the last 9 months are pretty blistering: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/foxtab/reviews/]. I don't know enough about that extension to help with that.
But regarding the built-in main toolbar, those are changes that Firefox itself should save. Our support article "[[How to fix preferences that won't save]]" covers many of the reasons that there might be glitches with that. Another common issue is utility/privacy/security software like Advanced SystemCare that has a home page protection/browser protection feature. This can roll back your changes between sessions of Firefox. You may need to disable that feature if any of your software has it.

My emails keep disappearing from my MacBook Air, my iPhone

My emails keep disappearing from all devices--MacBook Air, iPhone, iPad as well as our archair Sony VAIO w/Windows XP. We use Comcast, a "POP" account. All settings have been changed to never delete, empty trash after 90 days, etc., per Apple, AT&T and Comcast "techs". To where are they going? Can they be retrieved? Why does this keep happening? How can we prevent this from happening?

Is there a category for the dissappearing emails? Do they have anything in common? Have you tried refreshing the inbox?
Another possiblity is that since Macs and iPhones categorize mail a little differently, try going the the "all mail" section. You can find it under your account mail. That is, instead of going to your inbox, you go under there, where is says "accounts" and shows all your accounts, including the icons for each mail service. There should be a group saying "all mail" if you use google. Let me know if you find the disappearing mails.

Why are do my emails keep disappearing from inbox

Why do my emails keep disappearing from my inbox?

Actually you can set it to a 1000. But anyway i solved my problem. I had to set the days to sync from unlimited to 30 days.

TS3899 Why do my emails keep disappearing from my iphone? These are emails that I have not deleted.

My emails keep disappearing from my inbox even though I have not deleted them.

I have tried to rebuild the mailbox to no avail. The mailbox behavior says: Drafts (not checked) store draft messages on the server, Notes (checked) show not in Inbox, Sent (checked) Store sent messages on the server Delete sent messages when (option never selected), Junt (not checked) store junk messages on the server Delete junk messages when (option never selected), Trash (checked) moves deleted messages to the Trash mailbox and (checked) store deleted messages on the server Permanently erase deleted messages when (one month old option selected).
I have not set up any rules that I know of other than a signature, in the very least I have not changed any.

My Yahoo emails keep disappearing on my iMac.

My Yahoo emails keep disappearing on my iMac. I see them one second then POOF! there gone. Sometimes I'll see the number count of unread emails but no emails are displayed (See below). I see them on iPhone and iPad no with no problems. I do use Spamarrest as a go between to help filter out spam that YAHOO SPAM FILTERS IS SUPPOSED TO DO, but I dont think thats the problem since my iPhone & iPad are working fine. I think it is with the iMac but not sure what else to do. I have deleted the account and created a new one, sycronized, took it offline and then back again only to see that the problem is there again. The emails will randomly show up but as soon as I click away and then back again "POOF" they are gone or slipped on their invisability cloak. This is totally weird.

Have the same problem. Have seen quite a few of my yahoo mails disappear & not reappear. Am unable to see them even in my yahoomail inbox or in the sent mail folders. Am worried if my mail account is hacked. Further, there are sounds that I keep hearing every now & then which seems like someone in the background is snooping in & checking items on my Mac.

Final cut wont open and keeps disappearing while loading

Since friday, I am trying to open final cut and wont let me, it disappears as soon as it starts loading. I restarted the mac so many times and I have reinstalled final cut and nothing. keeps disappearing.
any thoughts?

Before the long winded uninstall / reinstall hoopla, did you just try trashing your preferences? Might be all you need. You can do it manually of course but the free Preference Manager tool from Digital Rebellion handles it easily plus allows you to create preference set backups and more : http://www.digitalrebellion.com/pref_man.htm

Are Tabs for open apps available on MacBook Pro

I'm used to XP but recently got a used MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard. I'm thinking of upgrading to a newer model with either Maverick or Mountain Lion. Using the used MacBook I was disappointed that tabs for apps that were open but not being used did not appear at the bottom of the screen as in XP. (Or at least I haven't figured out how) I did note it's possible to use Cmd and Tab to show the open apps. However I would prefer tabs if possible. Are tabs availabe for open apps, such as Word, Excel and Chrome available in any of the newer Apple OS?
Thanks for any info.

Click the app's dock icon to bring its windows forward. You can see all of the application's windows by right-clicking the dock icon and you can view all windows at once by pressing the Exposé button (F3 by default).
This system truly leaves Windows XP in the dust.

Button or Tab for Movies and Music Disappeared

In iTunes, when I tap Apple TV, the only buttons or tabs that comes up are Summary and Photos.
No button or tab for Music or Movies appears.
Thus, I cannot sync either music or movies.
My Apple TV software is up to date as is my iTunes.
Suggestions?

you have your appletv connected to itunes as a sharing connection only (ie not sync options).
you need to remove the link to itunes and set it up again, this time as a primary library.

Help!! My emails keep disappearing when I open mail. Even the new ones that start to load.

My emails go into thin air when I open the mail icon. Both the new and old ones disappear. It gets better if I reboot, but still keep happening. This has gone on for a month now. I also tried to change my settings....ask before you delete, show the first 50 messages. I turned off the cloud. . .

I don't know what you consider rebootting, but here are a bunch of things that you can try. Some are just - hey let's give this a shot and see!
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit the mail app and restart. In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can also go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars - tap on your email account and turn it off - launch the mail app - then return to the settings and turn your email account on again - quit the mail app as described above - and then launch the mail app again.
The last thing I could suggest is to delete the mail account and add it back on again.

What is the bookmark button for? It keeps disappearing.

The bookmark button shows at 'customize' time but then just goes away. What is it for?

That Bookmark button appears when the Menu Bar is hidden and the Bookmarks word menu item won't appear. Showing the Menu Bar is the default for WinXP; with Vista & Win7 the Menu Bar is hidden by default.
That particular Bookmarks button opens a slightly truncated view of what the Bookmarks menu item on the Menu Bar shows. There's another similar Bookmarks button that is sitting in the Customize Palette which opens the Bookmarks Sidebar.
If you want to see the Bookmarks button that "disappears" when you close Customize, open View > Toolbars and click on Menu Bar so the check-mark is gone and Menu Bar will be hidden, replaced by the orange Firefox button.

I used to have separate tabs for each email address, now I only have one and have to toggle between them, how can I correct this?

Each of my email accounts was on a separate tab, so I could view them all together, somehow I managed to change the layout so that now i have to use "Go", "Folder" etc. I'd like the old layout back but can't find any way of changing it in the menu.

I do not know about separate tabs. Maybe you are talking about the Folder Pane down the left margin of the main window.
From the menu bar select View-Layout-Folder Pane

The Plus(+) tab for opening a new tab is not working

Even when i right click the bar and click "New Tab" it doesn't open a new tab.

Do you have the "Ask Toolbar"?
If so, please see if the solution on https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/793380 helps.

Emails keep disappearing from inbox on iPhone and ipad

Emails are being deleted as soon as I open my email folder and I have to read them in the deleted folder.
I cannot find anywhere in settings to change this.
Any advice please?

i had the same problem. but i noticed that once your laptop email downloads the email it will go from your inbox in the iphone. it is this new setting from hotmail. you cannot do anything. but if u have anothe email address like gmail or icloud.
first go to hotmail account setting from browser in your computer. in the setting you will see email forwarding. type in the alternate email address like gmail or icloud. u will receive email on those account which has come from hotmail. and gmail and icloud stays on the iphone.
