Thunderbird コミュニティフォーラム

I have just added another gmail account to Thunderbird. I'm using the portable version 115.12.2 (64-bit) on Windows 10 Instead of just seeing the Local Folders and a few folders I've made myself, I can see the Imap folder I think it is, for the email account just created. However, it's supposed to be Pop3 and everything works from local folders. I've compared the Gmail settings against an existing account and they are identical. I've also compared the smtp settings for the new account with an already established one, and once again all settings are identical. Yet for some reason this account appears as a main folder underneath the Local folder. I'm stumped (yet again) and am sick of wasting so much time to try and fix and getting nowhere. I'd love some help please to suggest what's gone wrong?

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have just migrated Thunderbird to my new CUBI desktop running Windows 11. I get security errors when I launch Thunderbird. My email provider The Messaging Company advised me to change server settings, which are now shown in the Troubleshooting Information page as account1 (pop3) pop.themessagingco.com.au:995 SSL/TLS Normal password smtp.themessagingco.com.au:587 STARTTLS Normal password true.

On launching Thunderbird I get the message Secure connection failed live.mozillamessaging.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate has expired. Error code: <a id="errorCode" title="SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_ISSUER_CERTIFICATE">SEC_ERROR_EXPIRED_ISSUER_CERTIFICATE</a>

   This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
   If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

Or you can add an exception…

AND when I attempt to send an email I get warning that the SMTP server does not have a valid certificate. If I ask, in either case, to "Get Certificate" the response is that the site attempts to identify itself with invalid information.

I have "tried again later" over two weeks, and nothing has changed.

The Messaging Company is a fairly large email provider: it seems strange that its security is incomplete. However, I am not happy to just set an exception and over-ride these errors without doing all I can to check that there is not something screwy going on. I really value using Thunderbird, and The Messaging Company's advice that I should just use webmail is not at all satisfactory: I keep everything on my computer or backed up to a portable drive here.

Please: is there anything I can do or should know to fix this problem?

I havenot received an email since 18/7/2024. I di receive an email a couple of weeks ago saying they had hacked my email and if I don't pay $500 usd into an account they would display all my private info. I worked okay for a few days then back to not being able to send or receive emails.Yhanks you Ray Topia ray.bev@xtra.co.nz

When I am typing in an email, it will type a few words, then, freezes for 3 ~ 4 seconds, or so, then, with catchup to where I was typing. If I have a mistake, and use the arrow key to move the cursor, it will move a few spaces, then freezes. I have to stop, wait for the cursor to appear again, then hit the arrow key again, and repeats. Moves a few letters/spaces, and cursor disappears again. and I have to wait again a few seconds to get the cursor back. I end up, just having to use the mouse to click where I need to go, so I can correct the spelling. ... some time ago, I ran across some pc -hack?- where you delete ALL temp files, and a couple of other things, that I dont remember now, which I did, and Thunderbird works fine - for a little while, as in few minutes I think it was, then was right back to hanging up/freezing - for several seconds. Has gotten so, I have had to go back to Outlook most of the time. Or maybe Onmail. ... Using Win 10 Pro Version 22H2 Build: 19045.3930 If this means anything to you.. ...

Thunderbird is only getting some of the messages on bluehost. Many are being left in a junk file on bluehost. I tried removing as many filters as possible but it makes no difference

I am missing email on my Spectrum webmail and on my mobile phones. They, Spectrum say my server settings are not in sync with my third party email ie Thunderbird. How can I check my settings?

I have an IMAP account which receives general email and email from a number of mailing lists.

I only want to see the mailing list email on my laptop, where I run Thunderbird (115.12.2).

So (on the laptop) I have Message Filters to move the email for each mailing list to a corresponding folder. But with IMAP I cannot add a rule to delete the email from the IMAP server. (I guess that is because folders in the IMAP accounts Inbox are resynced with the server ?)

What I'd *really* like to do is have a 'Retention Policy' (in the 'Folder Properties') to 'Remove From Server' -- so that anything appearing in such a folder would be removed from the server and/or not resynced with the server.

What I have done is create the mailing list folders in 'Local Folders'. This has the effect I want: it removes the mailing list email from the IMAP server.

However, the Local Folders languish at the bottom in the Folder Pane. I really want the mailing list folders to appear in the Inbox (for the account in question -- one of several I have).

Curiously: in the 'Saved Search Properties' for the Inbox, I can go to "Select the folders to search" and I can see all the Local Folders. I can select mailing list folders and when I 'Update', those folders disappear from Local Folders, but they do *not* appear in the Inbox. When I restart Thunderbird, those folders magically reappear in the Local Folders and still do not appear in the Inbox -- even though they are still selected to do so !

Even if it was possible to show some local folders in the Inbox they would not be in the Inbox for the account.

I do not know how Thunderbird knows which folders are local and which ones are not. Is it possible to change a folder setting somewhere so that a folder in an account's inbox is actually local (or is treated as local) ?

I recieved emails from Microsoft to update Authentication to Oauth as support for basic authentication will soon cease. Whilst I have not been experiencing any issues, after following the instructions, also provided here:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202,

I now have an unusable Thunderbird client.

This is because I am having to keep authenticating my outlook accounts (I have about ~100 email accounts). They pop up one after the other for each account.

I believe I went through all the troubleshooting steps but to no joy.

I did notice however, when the "Enter your credentials....." pop up box appears and I go through the motions of authenticating my account and TB against my Microsoft account, the following entry appears under the Settings > Saved Passwords > Saved Logins > "Provider" column for that account:

oauth://login.microsoftonline.com (https://outlook.office.com/IMAP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office.com/POP.AccessAsUser.All https://outlook.office.com/SMTP.Send offline_access)

The credentials include a very long auto generated password starting similar to "M.C533_BAY.0.U.-........"

A couple of things to note now regarding the oauth entry:

1. It possibly does not always get created when re-authenticating 2. After quitting TB and then re-launching TB, it dissapears

So the solution would be to somehow ensure this entry is created and it sticks even after quitting TB, since for those accounts that include this I do not have get the "Enter your credentials....." pop up box.

Is this something TB can investigate?

New HP windows 11 computer. Although I select multiple messages and use either the DELETE key or right click and select "delete selected messages", only 1 message gets deleted. I'm using my comcast.net email account. This worked perfectly only my old windows 10 computer.

My Thunderbird calendar file is located on my organization's Nextcloud server. We just changed to a newer version of Nextcloud and moved everything to a new url, so my calendar updates no longer work. I need to edit the address of the calendar file. I open the Edit Calendar and can see the old url in the Location field. I can select and copy the contents of the Location field but I can't change it.

See edited screenshot

Thanks in advance for your help.

Recently updated to Ubuntu 24.04, which required me to move from repository-installed Thunderbird to using Flatpak or snap. With either install, when I try to add the security module for my smartcard reader, via Settings - Privacy & Security - Security Devices - Load, I get "Unable to add module" with no further information. The error console doesn't show anything either. The module I'm trying to install is:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so

I've also tried adding the smartcard drivers from the vendor with the same result.

The snap version of Firefox works fine with the smartcard without having to add the security module, it was already installed.

I've been using Thunderbird fine for many years with my smartcard under Linux. It's just with this switch to Flatpak/snap install that's caused the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Thunderbird Team, when I try to change an existing Date in the calendar, I have to delete and insert the Date again, now it's possible to make changes. What can I do to make changes directly ? Thank you Gunther

Dear Sir or Madam, I have already described my problem in the Thunderbird forum and in the Mozilla group chat. Unfortunately, nobody was able to help me. A senior forum member told me that this problem was known, but that nobody was looking into it. Now to my problem: According to their help pages for Thunderbird, you can search partial expressions and complete expressions in the global search. To do this, you put the complete expression in inverted commas. I have tried this several times with different expressions. Unfortunately, no matter whether with or without inverted commas, only the partial expression is searched for. Example: "D-Link" Thunderbird searches for Link and not for D-Link. I have also restarted the search indexing. Unfortunately without any improvement. So my question is: are you aware of the problem? If so, are you endeavouring to rectify the error? If so, when?

with kind regards Jürgen Huber

i am moving my accounts from outlook 2007 to Tb slowly doing one account at a time, making sure it all works, then moving on the the next account, i have already moved my hotmail.com & outlook.com emails accounts to TB successfully and all the inbox, sent and draft emails also went to TB with ease.

I now have 2 bigpond accounts i want to move to TB from outlook 2007, i am only going to move one at a time and once one is fully working , ill move the other one. So now i am trying to move one of my bigpond.com email accounts to TB, the account moved over ok, but its not bringing over any of my inbox, sent, draft, or other folders with it at all.

the bigpond account in TB works for new messages in and out, but none of my emails previous and older emails from outlook came with it. i have removed the account twice and still same issue. there was a warning or something that popped up during the first time i tried this with bringing the bigpond over to TB, cant remember what it said, but something along the lines of bigpond isnt trusted or veryifed certificate. i cant really recall. but maybe that is why. i copied the same settings from outlook 2007 to TB, i even tried setting them to pop for one try and them imap the next try, i still dont know.

is there a way to find the log warning message any where on TB as to what happen during the first try of adding the bipond account, maybe that will help you guys narrow down the issue. As that warning does not come up any more when i remove and try to add the account again, it just happened the first time. i though if hotmail can work easily ( being so old ) then bigpond should definitely have no issues. maybe its a pop or Imap issue, i dont know ???

Something has gone wrong with my Thunderbird and It has suddenly stopped receiving emails for me from my server, I have checked the server settings and nothing seems to be wrong with it, please help.
