Forum zhromadźenstwa Thunderbird

Hi, I changed the gmail password, when I opened Thunderbird it asked for a password I entered the new password. I now get a message authentication failed and it ask to allow Thunderbird access to the google account

Everythiung was wworking fine. Then, with me not changing anything, I suddenly couldn't receive or send emails. When I try, I get an error message saying "Sending of user name did not succeed. Mail server mail.optonline.net responded: AUTH CRAM-MD5 not supported."

I contact and they say it's a Mozilla issue, not Optimum. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

I've hit the refresh button 1000s of times to get halfway through my emails I'm still a few months from current it downloads 1-3 emails most of the time when hitting refresh all. And most of the help I found for this stuff is very out of date.

My work email is a .org domain. Can I use my .org email account in Thunderbird? When I try to set up my Thunderbird account I get the error message when I enter my .org domain email account. Message says "invalid email address".

Hi,

All inbox emails, except for the most recent ones, now appear to be empty. Can these be safely recovered?

Any advice on how to repair/recover these files would be very welcome!

Dear Thunderbird Support,

We would like to inquire on behalf of AIMS International Malaysia Sdn Bhd, as we are an outsourcer offering IT support vendor services. They are currently encountering Thunderbird email that is much too slow to download new emails. They stated that this problem has existed since July 19, 2024, following the global IT failures.

Please provide us with a solution for this issue, and we have attached an image for your perusal.

After new update to version 121 option fast filter is working so bad. Searching anything takes a lot of time and even sometimes crashes whole program. Normal working is not possible. What can I do?

I have two email addresses. For privacy, I will refer to them as: surname@mydomain.com (the main email address for my domain) and forename.surname@mydomain.com (an additional email address on my domain)

For several years now, I have been unable to wipe out unwanted/spam messages ('dead letters') from the main inbox, surname@mydomain.com (using shift-delete then Yes/enter). Thunderbird just strikes them through, but leaves then in the inbox. As a 'temporary fix' to clear my inbox of dead letters, I have just been moving such 'dead letters' into a local 'junk' folder, which now has more than 10K dead letters. Similarly, I can't wipe them from the local 'junk' folder. How can this be fixed, please?

But this still works fine on the second address, forename.surname@mydomain.com. However, unfortunately, a new problem has appeared today on this additional inbox, where I routinely keep all non-trivial messages as a record spanning many years. The entire inbox has been emptied, apart from one new email that arrived today! Help!

Quick Filter is still extremely slow on the newest version of Thunderbird (128.1.1esr). I asked a question about this previously. It was reported as a bug (see links below) and it says in the report it was fixed, but the problem still seems to be there in the newest version. Any idea when this will be fixed, or if there is anything I can do about it?

There is a thread about it on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/1e6hryp/quick_filter_is_super_slow_in_128/

There was a bug reported, and it is listed as closed (solved). Here is the bug report thread: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1908761

Thanks for you help.

Just Updated to Thunderbird 128.1: Now I Cannot Sort/Move Recipients from TO: to CC: / BCC: and Back on A-Previous Sent (Now New to-be Updated) New Email.... Can I Rollback to Previous 128.0 Version????

Dear Thunderbird team and community,

long term user here, thanks a lot for your awesome software, absolute essential live-saver.

A few days ago, I did the update to 128.1.0esr (64-Bit) from 115 on win11. Very smooth transition, no issues with my 4 accounts, calendars etc. Great experience.

However, since the update, QuickSearch Ctrl-Shift-K filter that did instanteaneous filters on my 25k mailfolders came to griniding halt.

What happend: - Type a search term with filters on 'subject', 'from' 'to'activate freezes the app for many wall-clock seconds (5-10). Switching to another app and switching back gives me a Windows (Thunderbird not Responsive) in the title bar of the main window during that time.

What I expected: - almost instantaneus filter without noticable lag

What I tried: - deactivate, then uninstall expression search addon incompatible with 128 - restart in Troubleshoot mode with all addons disabled - reboot OS (Win11) several times - searched forums and stackoverflow for similar issues using different search term approaches and combinations

Thank you very much for any pointers how i could resolve the issue. Thanks again for your awesome product!

Jakob

My system (sorry, German)

The quick search used to work wonderfully. With the recent updates, it works very slowly and takes a few minutes to display the request. I already fixed my inbox, but I continue having the same problem. I appreciate any suggestions.

Hello,

I have had this issue since at least 2022 starting with version 102.4.1. I am currently running 128.1.0esr on OS 14.6.1.

I figured I would post again, as it has been a few years and the previous posts are now archived, to see if any new solution options are known.

In short, Thunderbird runs perfectly fine in troubleshoot mode. When launched normally, it locks up as soon as it checks for new messages, I get the spinning beach ball, and I have to force quit to close it. Letting it sit for an extended time has no impact. Screenshot of status when it locks is attached.

If I start in Troubleshoot Mode it works normally. No problems at all. I don't appear to have any add-ons or extensions running, so I don't understand why this is fixing things. I've just been running it in troubleshoot mode for years now, which is fine, but annoying.

The only themes, extensions, or add-ons present are "light," "dark," and "system theme -auto." Nothing else.

I had read a previous post about disabling access to Contacts in System Preferences, I tried that, no luck. I also deleted all add-ons and extensions files, and folders. Folders were empty, no change.

Any other theories?

I cannot get into Thinderbird. It keeps asking me to enter my password for my 2 email addresses alan@the coombefarm.com and postmaster@thecoombefarm.com It has never done this before. I don't know a password as it has never asked me to enter one before

As I cannot receive emails my phone number is 07729 825441

Thunderbird was configured to send & receive via Cox /yahoo mail. Worked until recently but can no longer send or receive.

Please advise. Best Regards, Leigh Wax

When I attempt to move by Mbox folder (31,000 emails) from "Local Folders" to my Gmail inbox, it stops mid-stream at 1,600 emails. Any idea why? And any fixes? Thanks!
