Evening All
A little investigation goes a long way. The more I looked the more I was
convinced that my issues were the result of something being corrupt in
the .thunderbird folder. I made a new profile, re-entered my email
account details and one on my problems was resolved. I could now see the
email messages in the preview window, but I was still unable to send
emails. After much scratching of the head I decided to reinstall
Thunderbird, except, when I tried I got an error, No Disk Space. upon
checking there was only 4 gb of free space on the (81GB) root partition.
Using a bit of Software called Disk usage Analyser, (it has a nice
folder and file explorer pane which show the folder using the highest
amount of space). I soon found the culprit, /var/log, it was taking up
68gb of the 77gb of used space. I soon got that down to 31gb by deleting
some old log files. I am not 100% sure why the files were so large but I
have an idea it might been the UFW Firewall as the logging, I found was
set to full, now set to low.
Now I am able to send emails and the message previews are loading. Will
keep monitoring the disk space.

Hi all
I am running Thunderbird 128.4.1 esr (supplied by Mint) on Mint 22. I
have two email accounts setup in Thunderbird, one gmail which I have
had setup in Thunderbird for many years and one account for one of my
own domains. The issue is affecting both email accounts. Both
accounts email is filtered into individual folders under the mailbox
I have Thunderbird setup with Mailboxes on the left, emails listed on
the top right and mail preview below.
Mailboxes on the left : Hotmail, Local Folders, And Netscape,
Emails in the middle, and Calendar on the right.
Prior to some point earlier this week, If I got an email it will flag
up on the corresponding mail folder on the left, it will show on the
email list on the right, and If I move the cursor over the email and
click it would appear with the header in the preview pane below.
Now only the heabders appear and I am having to double click for the
email to open in a new tab or separate window to display the email
and even then not all emails will display the message. This is
happening on both email accounts and I can not see any pattern to
those email that display the message and those that do not display
the message.
I get this on nested emails, but not on single ones.
The other issue that I have had for a couple of months is not getting
all of the emails to the lug, but last night out of the blue 65+
emails appeared in my junk folder. This one did, so for some reason
my filter is not working right. I wonder if Hotmail has been holding
them up and just let a bunch through. I am down to two accounts -
Hotmail and Netscape(AOL).
I am on T-bird 115.16.2 (64-bit)
I have 9 filters set for Hotmail, and DLUG was 7th, so I have moved it
up the list.
