I have an account with optimum.net I no longer receive Thunderbird emails since 9-02-24 about 10 AM EST. I talked to the "Head" tech at Optimum and he constantly assured me that the problem was with Thunderbird, not Optimum. I do not receive emails from optimum (suddenlink,net) or yahoo.com.

But I can send email, through Thunderbird to each. I have to look on the web to see the emails, since Tbird does not receive.

I have changed no passwords.

I think that Bird only uses the server on suddenlink, my primary ISP The head tech at optimum sas=ys it it not there problem,

Could someone tell me the answer?

9-4-2024--For months the filters for my messages have not ALL worked right. Some of the older ones may work. The new filters disappear. I'm thinking it is because the Create Filter page does not display all the way to the bottom of the page so I can see and click ok to save it. Please fix this so the Create Filter page will RESIZE so I can save the filters I create. Mozilla Thunderbird programmers--Can't you write a program better than this?? Why can't you fix a problem that has been there for months maybe a year? Whatever is causing the problem please fix it.

Hi, I have Thunderbird running on two machines, Win10 Pro and Linux Mint. Both are latest versions. Both are configured for pop3. In both cases I have ticked 'Leave messages on server'. The two options below that are un-ticked. Despite this, whichever machine accesses new mail first, gets the mail. It is not then available to the other machine. The mail is still on the server. It is like the server thinks that the second machine to access it, is the first client again. I know I could just use IMAP but I really want to know why the present setup is not working. Could anybody help please? Best regards,

Can I use Thunderbird to send emails from my Home Automation controller?

In the past I have used my Bell and Gmail accounts, but they blocked the account because they thought it was a robo-emailer setup. I am currently waiting on an appeal for my Gmail account, but I want to have other options just in case.

I only send emails occasionally about automation detections in my home and only to a couple of my personal addresses (phone email, home email, work email)

Firefox latest update - How to switch off automatic closing of duplicate tabs

The latest firefox update makes it so that when you have duplicate tabs open, if you close one, it closes them ALL. I had an issue where YouTube decided instead of opening a video in the same tab, it opened in a new tab, a setting I immediately fixed when I realized it had happened.

Unfortunately, I only wanted THE DUPLICATE TABS to close, not ALL of the tabs linking to that video. I wanted A SINGLE TAB REMAINING of that tab, but there appears to be no setting anywhere in Firefox to change that. Can anyone help???

To be clear: When I have multiple of the same tab, I only want to close the other duplicates, not all of them, so I can still go about my business on that one tab.

Ex: I open a YouTube video by accident in multiple tabs, I wish to watch this video without having to search YouTube for it again. I want to close the duplicates of that video tab, but not the original one.

It gave me an error and now when I swipe to the 2nd page of shortcuts, each row is squished and left aligned (see pic). If I delete the last (16th) shortcuts, it goes back to normal. I would like to assign all 16 and not have the 2nd page be squished. Thank you!
