Hello,

I updated to 115.11.1 (32-bit) and unified folders will not appear and the option will not stay checked. I have exhausted my options. I previously had 64-bit with same issue so I deleted and installed 32-bit as some said this would help the issue ( I'm on 64-bit windows 10 OS).

I've tried deleting smart mailboxes, virtualfolder and jsontreefolder

nothing is working, I am at wits end. Please help!

Message is: Media could not be loaded, either because server or network failed or because format is not supported.

IMO not a network issue......

There is a feature in outlook that I use all the time at work, where if I reply to a message in my inbox but I had already sent a previous reply, it will let me pick up my reply to include in the thread, that I reply to instead.

It would be great if Thunderbird would do that for my personal emails.

I use Mozilla Thunderbird as an 'app' on my PC (Windows 10) in order to access my Virgin Media mail - @ntlworld.com. In the last fortnight my outgoing e-mails have not been sent, and a message 'Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. Authentication Required (VM401)'.

After much time searching for solutions on the internet, I understand that it was because Virgin Media now require a two stage authentication, and I would need to generate a new password specifically for e-mail apps like Thunderbird.

After a great deal of grief, I eventually believe I have now generated this 'app password', but do not know how I can update Thunderbird (if that is what is required?) to include this password. I have updated the SMTP settings, but there appears to be nowhere to include this password.

I would be grateful if you could cast some light on this problem.

Regards,

Stephen Hartley.

I am unable to retrieve my emails from my AT&T account, keep getting an error that inbound.att.net system error (SYS/TEMP). It keeps asking me to enter my password, but will not accept my password for ATT. I can access my emails directly from ATT.net, so that is not the issue and have checked to make sure POP is correct.

Why don't you have a version that once you push it out, you just leave it alone, except for any serious security updates. I, and I'm sure many others, have very simple needs in an email client, and all the added whiz-bang features serve to only make it harder to use for many of us. Or, alternatively, make it modular, start out with the basic client, and then allow users to add any features they feel would be useful for them, instead o having a bloated application that 90% of goes unused.

Message from Microsoft using Thunderbird. What do I need to do? Thanks

Update your sign-in technology before September 16th, 2024 to maintain email access.

The safety and security of your information is top priority for Microsoft. To help keep your account secure, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email and calendar apps which ask you to sign in with only your Microsoft Account username and password. To keep you safe you will need to use a mail or calendar app which supports Microsoft’s modern authentication methods. If you do not act, your third-party email apps will no longer be able to access your Outlook.com, Hotmail or Live.com email address on September 16th.


What do you need to do?

If you are receiving this email, you are currently using an email or calendar app that uses a less secure authentication method to connect to your Outlook.com email account. You will need to upgrade your third-party mail and calendar app to a version which supports modern authentication methods.

Microsoft provides free versions of Outlook for your PC, Mac, iOS, and Android devices which can be easily downloaded and connect to your email account. Using an updated version of an Outlook application will ensure you are connecting in the most secure way.

How can you set up your Gmail, Apple Mail, or other third-party mail application?

Various non-Microsoft applications will have their own steps for connecting to your Outlook.com email account using modern authentication methods. See our help article - Modern Authentication Methods now needed to continue syncing Outlook Email in non-Microsoft email apps. However, you may need to contact the creators of those applications to provide you with instructions. In many cases, simply removing and re-adding your account with the latest version of that application will configure it to use modern authentication methods.

Hi all,

I'm writing an email reply and wanted to answer questions in a red font. So, my top line reply was "see below in red" and then I wanted to type Yes or No in red after each question. I couldn't even copy and paste from a word document with the font in red.

In Thunderbird, I clicked on the color checker, typed in FF0000 for the color code and clicked yes. Then the color selecter boxes on the menu went right back to white.

Any ideas?

With about 60G of accumulated e-mail in several Microsoft accounts, I moved all accounts into T-bird and put most in local folders. This somehow became over 600G in size. Everything works and compacting seems to be getting done since it's been working some weeks now. Yet this ten-fold increase in size is unwieldy and very difficult to backup. Perhaps related, I notice that M'soft's "new" free Outlook app is present and perhaps running on this computer. And all the e-mails I send from my main Hotmail account are listed twice in the T-bird sent folder. About half of the times I start T-bird, I get a message saying that login to server outlook.office365.com with username xxxxxxxx@hotmail.com failed; the other accounts never do this. T-bird offers to retry, but that usually ends with a repeat of the same message. I've learned that if I let it open, with time, the e-mails do appear, though I don't know how or why. I've also been using Libreoffice successfully for months now though I doubt that anything to do with this. T-bird nicely solved the original e-mail oversize problem I had with Microsoft's size limitations and I'd appreciate advice on how to deal with what's happening.

I have my email account set up on my phone (Android) and on Thunderbird. Both are set up the same way receiving emails via POP Mail server. Messages are left on the server until I delete them. Certain messages appear on my phone but never appear in Thunderbird. I do not have any spam filters set up on Thunderbird. Junk settings are set such that messages from people in my personal address book are not treated as junk, and yet they are also amongst those that do not appear. Junk messages, in any case, are not moved from my mail folder.

Furthermore if I try to forward the missing messages from my phone (where they appear) to myself again, they will still not appear in Thunderbird.

Why cannot I not see those (missing) messages?

Thank you in advance for any help. I am using Thunderbird 115.12.2

I'm on IMAP. I having a working knowledge of Thunderbird, but not a whiz by any means.

Since I have both personal and business emails, I keep them historically. I delete what I don't think I'll ever need to refer to.

When my email storage, gets into the 90's, I get nervous. I go through and delete as many emails as possible, and sometimes manage to get the percentage to go down 1 percent.

So... I'm a little confused. I thought that perhaps this was syncing with the Comcast server, and that the percentage was not for any Thunderbird storage. Is Thunderbird storing on another server?

What should my settings be, so that I can maintain all my email on my computer? I don't need to store it on any server. I'm afraid to make any adjustments for fear of losing email on my computer.

Is there someone who can walk me through this process in steps I can understand? LOL

I know I am set up with IMAP.

Thanks so much!

Wayne

I wish to access my emails through Thunderbird (in addition to Zimbra) . On a previous computer I had both providers working side by side without difficulty. However my attempted download of Thunderbird is thwarted by the message "you are about to override how Thunderbird identifies with this site. Legitimate banks, stores and other sites will not ask you to do this".

My further investigations online suggest I should "check where my email is posted (My broadband connection is with Shell Energy) and if in the same domain as the mail server, create the security exception".

I am not sufficiently computer literate to understand all this and Shell Energy say they cannot advise me. I do not wish to lose my existing email access via Zimbra and wish to continue using my email address. Would creating the security exception solve the problem and enable me to get both email services together?

With thanks, Patrick Palmer
