Having downloaded TB version 128, the details for TbSync via add-on manager states that it is not compatible with this version. My questions, as a first timer with TB are:

1. Can I still go ahead and use TbSync with version 128? I need it to get contacts and calendar from Outlook.com

2. Will the planned native support in 128 for Exchange ActiveSync allow for easy switch from TbSync?

3. I thought I would download TB 115 which TbSync works with, but all download buttons seem to point to 128 and I can't for the life of me find the actual download link for TB 115.

Thank you. Sep

In Outlook, when I navigate to a folder and reply to an email in that folder, the email I send is automatically categorised into that folder, and no other copy appears elsewhere (such as in the 'Sent' folder).

Is this behaviour natively possible in Thunderbird without resorting to an add-on?

I realise there is the option to 'Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to' in the 'Copies & Folders' settings of the email account, but this places a second copy in the 'Sent' folder. I tried experimenting with the radio button options '"Sent" Folder on' and 'Other' in the same settings section, but no combination seems to place one and only one email corresponding to the email I sent in the folder I emailed from without creating a copy in the 'Sent' folder of the account.

can you assign a combination of keys to replace commonly used text such as email address - as you can do quite easily on an iphone. eg when you type xx& your email address is inserted in your message.

Thunderbird has stopped loading my incoming email and ask for a password, but then says password is wrong. Is there any way to change the password for imap-outlook.com?

I use pop3 for all my emails. I am setting up a new computer (not copying over old email backups) and trying to get my msn.com and live.com set up. It keeps telling me my username or password is incorrect. I can sign into the microsoft email directly, so I know they are correct. In thunderbird I add email and password for the msn email. click on pop3 - it auto populates the info. but when I click done - it states: unable to login at server. probably wrong configuration or username and password. (I did try imap with the same username and password and it worked - I just prefer to keep everything on my computer)

My email address is [edited] @roadrunner.com Since early May, I haven't been able to get emails because I keep getting asked for a master password. I don't know it - I don't remember ever having to create one. Please help.

I work at the company, where we have several inboxes on Thunderbird. I can not send any e-mails, the error: Message sending failed. An error occurred while sending the message. Mail server response: tetiana@sleepinginkrakow.com: Sender addres rejected: not owned by user office@sleepinginkrakow.com tid:[21114]. Please verify the correctness of the email address in the account configuration and try again.

Diappointed with the color accenting in Windows. I only seem to be able to see a customized reply arrow, and a small dot in the 'From' line. In the screenshots on your introductory page the background of the card is accented and bordered. Is this only for Linux, or will it work in Windows 11 also? If so, where can this be set?

I actually prefer the line view rather than the cards in the Inbox pane, and would also like the color accent to be applied to the current selection highlight/background. Here for example (see screenshot) I would like the purple color (you can see it in the reply arrow) to be applied also to the background highlight of the middle email, where it is currently dark grey.

Many thanks in advance

Can no longer view passwords as I get a popup headed "Windows Security" asking for a user name and password. Tried several combination for the various email address without success. This has only happened within the last couple of days. Please advise

Hello. I'm in a real mess with Thunderbird which I've been using (and contributing to) for many years. My accounts (mostly Outlook/Hotmail) will not connect. Or, actually, they sometimes do, and most of the time don't. I've tried the various solutions that people kindly suggest. But, I think I've changed things so often - and also rather randomly - that everything is in a total mess. Do you think the issues with MS will be resolved? Or, if not, would you recommend the Outlook app, instead? Thanks!

I have 10 email accounts in my Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit) and I am using Microsoft Windows 10 Pro and all my sent, draft, archives and templates are going into a different folder. I want them to go into the folder from which the email was sent but they are all going into the email tinakeeling@att.net.

I have changed it to reflect the correct folder but then a few days later and every time I restart Thunderbird the program changes the folders back to tinakeeling@att.net

I have even unchecked the box "place a copy in" and when Thunderbird is restarted it reverts back.

What can I do to fix this issue?

See attached picture of what I am talking about

Hello,

I need to transfer all e-mail accounts of a domain to a new E-mail host. My idea is to configure a thunderbird client in a server with all domain e-mail accounts in order to back up then. When I switch the domain to the new E-mail host, the idea is to use this backup to populate the new accounts on this host.

In order to test my idea, I did the follow steps:

1) Create a new e-mail account 2) Configured Thunderbird with this account (IMAP) and populate it with some messages and folders. 3) Did the Backup of thunderbird account profile. 4) Closed the Thunderbird 5) I’ve deleted the account a created it again with the same credentials, in order to simulate the account on a new host. 6) Then I Opened Thunderbird and, after synchronize the account, restore the profile.

The problem: As the message sync is done from the host to the client (Thunderbird), All messages restored are deleted. This because the new account have no messages in the host.

Question: Is there a way to use thunderbird to restore all messages of the profile to a new account?

I will need to do this for the almost 90 e-mails accounts of the domain. Anyone know a (free) tool that can do this?

Best Regards,

Marcelo

I struggle with very strange function of shortcuts - when I try to CTRL + SHIFT + R. So far Answer to all recepients. But 1 year ago it works in that way that message disappears and the dialog window is shown with info and option: Mark messages as read from <empty_field> till <today's_date>. When I try to find the message which disappeared I can find it in search results and its location is archive directory. I haven't created this directory. When I try to use combination CTRL + SHIFT + R when chosen message moved to archive directorry (search results) message dissapears again but for good (of course dialog window as described before is shown again). Has any body experienced the same? Any clues what happened? Any new update? How to restore proper action for CTRL + SHIFT + R? Any ideas?

Today, July 31,2024... Told by Spectrum that third party Thunderbird is no not supported on their servers

* My email 'In box' is frozen and the Login box persistently fails for xxxxxxx@roadrunner.com on mail.twc.com 

• My take away is that the only way I can retain my address is to attach it to a web mail account such as https://webmail.spectrum.net/mail or google mail.

Is there any way to keep Thunderbird separate and retain my current email address?

I get this strange message when I try to send an email that says ongoing server - smtp. authentication method in account settings, outgoing server SMPT.

I have Outlook in two other computers and Outlook works fine? Thank you, Jim

Hello,

My name is Jasper. I've downloaded Thunderbird and linked my gmail account to it and I'm at the point where I'm ready to delete emails from my gmail account. However, I weary that I've done something wrong, not followed the instructions properly and when I proceed with deleting my emails I may lose them permanently. Is there some way someone can review my account and check that everything is in order?

Regards, Jasper

Thunderbird clumps together emails in a string, which results in several annoying things. a) You can't immediately see who the latest email is from. b) When you open the string all the emails open up and you then have to close them one by one, which wastes time. c) Thunderbird sometimes clumps unrelated emails into a string, making it hard to track responses and find original attachments to earlier emails wrongly associated. I find all this completely useless and preferred when I could sort by subject line, sender or date. Sooo much easier! How can I go back to that?

Hello, I have recieve a message from Microsoft requesting a change in authentication method to access the Thunderbird e-mail box. I can makert the change for the Server settings from "normal password" to "OAuth2". Howver when I try to do the same change for the Outgoing server, there is no "OAuth2" in the list. So, for the moment, I keep the "normal password". Could you help . Additional information : the outlook name that I use is "Outlook.com(Microsfort) - stmp-mail.outlook.com (Défaut)". Regards Michel

Windows 10. Thunderbird 115.8.0 While trying to figure out why my taskbar badge says I have 99+ unread emails (for the record, I only have 7), I hovered over the tray icon, and it says I have over 4 billion (with a B!) unread emails. That's not even possible with the email address I'm using it for. Why would this be like this, and how do I get it to be accurate?

Reading the version notes on 128 it wasn't clear to me all that is changing. I am very happy with 115. The layout I use is the Folder view with a folder pane and a message pane. I do not use the cards view. Will this setup be essentially the same in 128?

Also, now that you have the new code will upgrading break my add-ins like it always used to before 115? The add-ins I currently use are: FileLink provider for Send, Header Tools Improved, and PopmailListRecipients.

thank you.
