Thunderbird Community Forum

I just installed updated to 115.14.0 for my OS 10.13.6. I had a very old version of Thunderbird 45... I went through the gmail sign on procedure and it looked like it was successful but I can't download or send any messages. I have verified incoming and outgoing server settings on Gmail. Any insight would be great!

When I try to download messages I get a message that it can't connect or that it times out. When I send messages: Sending of the message failed. "The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again."

incoming server settings: imap.gmail.com and I have tried pop.gmail.com (Profile currently shows Pop mail server but I have it set to imap.) SSL/TLS I have tried ports 993 and 995 Auth: OAuth2

Outgoing server settings: Smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 Auth: OAuth2

I have a mailing list on Thunderbird for both my local community service club and one for family news. I have used these lists for years and years. However, last night when I tried to send out an email to the community service group it wouldn't send. Upon further investigation, I found that the list was now empty - no emails were in the list! When I tried to add them back in and hit "ok" they did not stay on the list - just disappeared!

The same thing happened to my Family List, but not to our Beekeepers list. It seems they would all be gone, but some are gone and some are not!

Is there any way to get this to work again? I set up another list for the Community Service group with a slightly different Title, but that wouldn't work either.

Thanks! David & Renee

I have some Gmail accounts that are approaching the size limit, but I still use them, and want to keep them. Much of the content is archive material, and I might occasionally want to search and retrieve from it, but I do not need to have it remain and taking up space on the servers, as I could store this on my drives and do this offline. What options are available to keep a an email account synced on their servers (IMAP) for current email content and save archived content on my drives (POP), preferabl;y so that I could move them back and forth between the two?

I am currently on Ver 115.12.2 (32-bit), but I've had this problem over several versions. I recently downgraded from the 64bit version (for a different reason), it had the same issue.

Old messages in the Inbox are listed twice, including those that have been read. New incoming messages are not duplicated, messages where I've deleted the duplicates are not again duped. Messages that get filtered to or moved to folders are not duped. Old messages that are in folders are not duped.

I have several email accounts in TB, and I only see this on my most active- of course! I have compacted all folders many times and rebuilt the Global Database with no effect. I tried opening in Troubleshooting mode and they are still duplicated. It is a POP account.

Since update to ver 128.1.0esr the "new subfolder" feature does not work (does not show window to name new folder). I have many subfolders and I rely on them heavily. I tried restarting Thunderbird, then Windows. I ran in debug mode with no success. I downloaded and installed 128.2.0esr again. No change.

Is it possible to go back to the earlier version? Which is? Thanks, Frederick

POP3 mailbox, Thunderbird 115.13.0 on Linux Mint. I have TB set to automatically download headers only for new messages. When I select a message and click the "Download the rest of the message" button for that message TB downloads the message as expected but immediately jumps to the next message. This is new behavior in the last few days. Can't remember when it updated last. It has always worked as expected in the past - i.e. download and display the message. Suggestions?

Why does Thunderbird not accept my password and repeatedly asked for it for all hotmail accounts? I enter the password (repeatedly) and sometimes with will accept if and mostly not. How can this be fixed.

I've received an email from 'mozilla', but in the end it's coming from a russian site called idealcart.ru.

I do believe this is fake, but was unsure what to do.

I logged into my mail and checked some mails and actioned it this afternoon.

I closed thunderbird and later when opeing it again all my mails and accounts was lost.

I can still see some of the local folders, but thunderbird does not import any mails when I try

Using 115.10.1 (32-bit), Windows 11.

I get a lot of SPAM. Much is filtered out upstream (via a Barracuda system supplied by my ISP) More (but less effectively) by Thunderbird. But some (too much) still gets through.

My question - most of the time I can recognize it's SPAM by only looking at headers - subject, and correspondent (sender). I have no need to check the email content.

But to junk the email I need to select it, which causes the email content to appear by the built in browser in TB.

Not an expert, but this seems like an unnecessary security risk, that gives the email content (and any included code) time to do something. Am I overthinking this? Is there a way to mark an email junk without selecting it?

thx,

I retain about 15,000 emails from 2015 to current. My Thunderbird crashed and I repaired the inbox. Once I did this the emails from November 2020 through August 11, 2024 vanished from my mail program. How do I get the missing emails back?

Thunderbird automatically updated to v128 earlier this week after I went to Help - About Thunderbird to check that it had updated to v115.14.

Everything seemed okay immediately after the update, but when I started Thunderbird the next day it was very unresponsive. Checking the Activity Manager showed that Thunderbird was indexing messages, but that this was happening very slowly. I let Thunderbird do its thing that day in the hope that things would settle down.

The next day when I started Thunderbird things were still bad. I tried Rebuilding the Global Database but when I restarted Thunderbird it was just as bad, if not worse.

I then turned off indexing in the Thunderbird settings and Thunderbird is now responsive and back to normal.

Is anyone else seeing anything like this? Any suggestions to fix the problem?

I am a long time Thunderbird user so my profile is very large with a lot of accounts, and has been through a lot of Thunderbird versions, so it is potentially more complicated than normal.

Thunderbird version is currently 128.1.0esr (32-bit).

Thanks

Hello, since the last update I can't read the Filter-Protokoll anymore. I only see the aktivated checkbox but no content. But I know that there a message about junk.

I'm on tb 128 and use roadrunner. I see my emails on spectrum server but can't download them? I was using pop, they said imap is needed.

   Username: Your full Spectrum email address

   Password: Your Spectrum email password

   SSL: On

   Protocol: IMAP

   Incoming Server Port: 993

   Outgoing Server Port: 587

   Requires Authentication: Yes, or checked

Login to server imap.mail.att.net with my user name failed a couple of weeks ago. I can't receive my emails but I can send them. What can I do?

I have a whole series of filters attached to my main inbox. After I added a filter to many, it won't process the filters and it won't let me move messages to the local folder it belongs in. This has been going on for a while and I was hoping updates would fix it, but it continues to screw up. Please let me know before I get to frustrated and try to convert over to Outlook for my business email.

Thank you to David & Toad-Hall who kindly worked to get my Thunderbird to download my messages from Juno in a series of support messages in mid-July.

I have worked with KW, a computer help person at my senior center. I have a follow up appointment with KW on Fri 8/16, 1 pm MDT. Last session KW succeeded in re-setting the STMP server port to 25 and the POP3 server to 110. See screen shots.

This did NOT enable Tbird to download my messages from JUNO. There was a' change, Tbird would no longer SEND messages via my Juno account, earlier it would send test messages. see 3rd screen shot

Like Toad-Hall, KW is suspicious that the last message Tbird downloaded from Juno 6/26 that directed me to reset my password in Juno was malicious. We reset my password and Juno & Tbird both open with the new password I set up directly from the Juno webpage.

KW suggests I ask you if it is possible to deinstall & reinstall Tbird, Might that restore Tbird to function? Would I lose the contents of my saved messages in folders?

Additional screen shots, maybe useful info.

I really love my Thunderbird! I like to work off-line, I like storing my files on my computer computer.
