Emails have stopped coming in to in box. Email works OK on Iphone with Gmail. When I send from account I get this message.

"Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-petermillward441@gmail.com."

Microsoft sent me this: 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.

Will Thunderbird continue to link me to Outlook? If so, how?

Thank you.

I stored my profile at a custom location (windows) and then ported to the profile folder over to ubuntu linux,

when I start thunderbird with that profile directory though, I only restore basic information about the accounts, but none of the cached emails and also none of the passwords, I have to relogin which even prompts e.g. google to reask for 2fa.

So how do I port everything over, including cached messages and passwords so I don't need to relogin/redownload emails?

I have multiple nstmp files in a subfolder of IMAPMAIL of TBird 115 using GMail in Windows 115. The files range in size from 170 to 335 megs. Do I need to keep them all, or can some be deleted? On a weekly basis, I do move mails I want to archive from the server to Local Folders and compact the various folders, as well as regularly deleting mail I don't need from the IMAP Inbox. I keep mail in the IMAP Inbox that I need to be able to access from anywhere. It looks like the size of the NSTMP files seems to follow the historical size of the IMAP Inbox. Thanks!

I recently received an email from microsoft stating that after 16th September I may not be able to access my Hotmail account using third party email apps. I only use Thunderbird on my win 7 computer.

Will I still be able to access this account with Thunderbird??

Thank you

Rob

Update: Unfortunately I've tried all the settings I've found on here but hotmail doesn't seem to work with the new settings. I've taken a screen shot of my original settings which I'll include. As of right now, after trying the new settings, I can't access my Hotmail. Following are the messages I see when I try:

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • @hotmail.com: Host contacted, sending login information. After a few minutes I get a message that it has timed out.

****************@hotmail.com: There are no new messages  However, I sent 2 messages via Thunderbird to my hotmail account (which does send the messages). I went into my Hotmail account via my browser to confirm that the emails were sent and received. 

I tried changing Server Type to: outlook.office365.com, smtp.office365.com I've changed the port to: 587 then back to 995. None of these work. There also aren't separate settings for incoming or outgoing settings that I can find. I've also included a screenshot of the Thunderbird about box showing version information.

As of now I have reverted the settings back to what they were and I got the 2 test emails I sent. I have no idea why the OAuth2 settings won't work. I also tried the Port: 587. The default didn't change from 995 even after restarting Thunderbird. I should also mention that I restarted Thunderbird after each change I made to the server settings.

First image is original settings. Second image is about screen for Thunderbird

I'm out of ideas. Nothing seems to work so far. One last question for now. Are there settings after I log into Hotmail via my browser that need to be changed??

Thank you

Simple question to which I have been unable to find a a straight forward answer.

Thunderbird 115.12.0 (64 bit)

MS Office caps out at 50GB. Thunderbird used to be 4GB many moons ago, what's the limit (if any) now?

Hi, I want to export only my contacts. In all descriptions they say click right to select standard adress book, print, export... In my ThB it only offers standard adress book. How can I select the export only for my adress data? When I selct export in the Extras menu it only gives the option to export the whole profile (limited by 2GB). Can you help me? Hans170

Hello everyone.

I have a small business, and a domain, therefore everything are capped, hence I use POP3 instead of IMAP.

I am using Thunderbird on multiple devices, everything works fine, but is there a way to synch all Thunderbird emails on multiple devices, so I don't have to delete junk mail that has previously been deleted or copy paste sent emails to multiple devices.

NB: I apologise if my issue has been resolved previously.

Thank you

We access AOL/Verizon account using Thunderbird. The other day, when we hit the Get Message button or a periodic check is done to look for new mail. We get the attached pop-up. It appears to be spoofing to be a an AOL page. We are no longer able to access our email. Has anyone else seen this problem and is there a fix? We are using the correct settings.

Hello, it's been a while now that when I land here https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/ I only see version 115.0 as the latest Thunderbird version while version 128 doesn't show up. Is this intentional or not? If not, what's the issue there and is this the right place where to report such issues? Thank you Best Regards

I just received a message that i will lose my access to my e-mails using a third party app . in this case Thunderbird from 16th September

Unless The Third party app (Thunderbird) will be upgraded to a more secure authentication ?

Will Thunderbird be able to do that before the 16th of September? see the full message i added as image.

I want thunderbird to block TOP LEVEL domains. This does not mean (example@example.com) or (example.com) This means .com

I have a huge list of Top Level domains I need to completely and totally block ALL emails from. I cannot block domains. That is a useless effort for 4 reasons:

1.) The Top Level Domain called .space (among other in my list) use spam email addresses such a example.space This gives them an INFINITE number of email addresses to use. There is NO way to block them other that at the TOP LEVEL.

2.) Blocking just the Domain (example@example.de) is also useless... read reason #1

3.) ICAAN has made it much easer for spammers to create unique top level domains. .... read reason #1

4.) My email provider does not and will not provide me options to block any Top Level Domain I choose. Its beneath them to provide such an essential tool.

So, How can I set up Thunderbird so that it will totally block and Never download from my mail server ANY top level domain that I choose???

I dont want to know about using other email programs. Just provide me a method, tool, app, add-on, shareware, or whatever that will let me use thunderbird to block TLDR's

Just received an email stating that after Sept 1, Microsoft will no longer support the use of third-party email apps without use of 'Microsoft’s modern authentication methods'.

What does this mean for Thunderbird?

I can't setup a new Gmail account because (1) Thunderbird won't let me finish the setup until it tests the account at Gmail, but (2) Gmail won't let me finish setting until they they can sent me a setup email to me at my new address on Thunderbird. It's a Catch 22. What do I do? Thank you.
