I changed my Comcast password, and TB won't work and asks me for the new password. I give it my new password, but it doesn't work.

Does Comcast use the same password for my online account as my main email, or are they different?

How can I fix this problem?

PS - I can log on and receive email to me but I can't send email - even to myself. It asks for the password but it doesn't work.

Added - I tried to install TB on a new computer. All I used to have to do is enter my email address and password and it would set it up. Now it says that is has to search for my XFinity ID (it shows my house address), but it can't find my Xfinity ID. Same problem?

Something happened, and I lost many of the mailboxes in my Joshua Calev account. The Joshua Calev 1.jpg shows how my listing looks now, and Joshua Calev 2.jpg shows how it used to look. Where can I find those missing files (I do have a backup) to restore them? I can't just backup my whole Thunderbird as I'm using 4 different accounts (that's what I love about Thunderbird) and that would overwrite the latest emails I received in my other accounts.

I am using Thunderbird Beta 130.0b1 (64-bit).

Thank you for any help you can offer.

After Thunderbird update on 8/12/24, I can no longer open PDF attachements. The attachements are there, they simply cannot be opened. I can save the same PDF files to Downloads etc, so the file is there. Also cannot open any PDF file received previous to this date, that I could open before the update.

Any help would be most appreciated. Many thanks.

Recently, I upgraded my TB to 128.0.1esr (64 bit). After the upgrading, I encountered the following problems. (I am using IMAP to communicate with the email accounts. )

1) For some new email in the inbox, the email content could not be show, ie the email body is blank.

2) Those read email but still kept in inbox and other folders were not downloaded.

Please advise how to fix the problems.

Thousand Thanks cheers, Karl

I'm downloading Thunderbird on a laptop, and plan to replace its profile folder with the one from my desktop. I know how to do this. The problem is that the profile folder downloaded with Thunderbird is "unavailable" and I can't access it at all.

Got a new pc, loaded Thunderbird on it, and used Thunderbird export/import tool to move everything over; seemed to work fine.... EXCEPT now all my incoming mail automatically gets put in junk folder. I cannot locate any setting that should be causing this. I get quite a lot of different mail in a day, average about 40 and can't find anything online to help me figure out what to do. Should be a simple thing hopefully.

I donated $20 and tried to download. No instructions were given after that. I could not find Thunderbird on my computer. It isn't there. There's no place I can go to get help. Stan

I have been using TBird for many years, but only for email. I have about 15,000 emails and an 18 GB profile. If I start using TB for calendar events and tasks, will that substantially increase the profile size and does that become an unwieldy folder to maintain in terms of errors occurring with time, and in terms of transferring it to a second PC?

Make it easy to have Thunderbird store the latest messages on top in each folder rather than on the bottom. Sort function does nothing to fix this.

Make it easily to keep ALL messages unthreaded in all folders!

If I unthread them they always go back to threade after I login again.

128.1.0esr (32-bit) Release notes

Provide an option in global settings, to use a SINGLE, MASTER "MsgFilterRules.dat" file that applies to ALL accounts vs one for each account.

My self - and MANY other users - (based upon forums) have been attempting to create a single, consolitated .dat file, then paste it into each accounts Profile sub-directory. One issue is that periodically a user must repeat the process due to additional filters created over time, but only in its relative account.

I use Mozilla for incoming mail, but cannot get it to send mail out. I get an error message to check my SMTP settings, which I have done repeatedly, and it doesn't fix the problem. I use those same settings to send my mail OUT with webmail (which is inconvenient to have to switch all the time), so I know the settings are correct. Can you help me understand why my outgoing mail won't work even when I verify that the settings are correct.

This am, TB informed me I needed to compact. I clicked on ok, next moment all emails in my inbox have disappeared. I eventually found them in a trash folder. How do I move all of them back to my inbox?

Why are my personal folders shown when select Move To then under Folders it only shows Trash ? A picture is worth a thousand words, so without further adieu :

Folders not seen

I did not set up a password to view my passwords now I can't get out my passwords. I'm the only one who has access to the computer so there is no need for this "added security", more added annoyance. I've never had to have a password before to look up a password on one of my accounts but now I'm stuck with this function turned on. I think they must have forced it on me in a resent update because I just looked at my passwords last week. Yes, I know there is a thing to reset my passwords in Thunderbird and hopefully let me turn this silly requirement off. But I've tried that and it did nothing at all.

I just downloaded Thunderbird onto a new computer and can't get it to log into my Yahoo Mail. I recall in the past that I had to set Authentication to Oauth 2. There is no option for that in current download of Thunderbird. How do I get in?

Hi.

Why every time i run thunderbird and if i leave it open too often it bring me the error message for all hotmail/outlook mail accounts i have???

What the heck is happening and how i can solve this?

Messages came: 1) Unable to write messages to mailbox

                              2) Processing your a/c, please be patient

I would need someone on the phone to walk me through any changes, as am not very computer savy. Darlene
