I just set up Thunderbird Version 128.0.1esr on my Windows 11 desktop computer to replace the MS Outlook app. The wizard configured a POP3 TLS/OAuth2 profile for pop.gmail.com. I changed the default server configuration to leave messages on server unconditionally. I also set my inbox properties to "don't delete any messages". Nonetheless, my inbox at mail.google.com and android gmail app inbox are wiped out immediately as soon as Thunderbird retrieves the messages. The emails remain in the Thunderbird inbox but are not visible on the server. I've tried all combinations of message retention options and Thunderbird seems to ignore them and delete messages from the server inbox as soon as it retrieves them. Any ideas? I want to store my messages on my desktop but I need mobile access to my inbox when I'm away from my desktop.

Can no longer export messages as single text file, nor export messages AND attachments. NG Export worked beautifully, but no longer does. The only options for NG Export are now to export the profile, and for Thunderbird itself copy and past Emails ONLY as emls. Help!

I updated Thunderbird with software update on Friday July 19, 2024. When I open Thunderbird I get a 'blank' page saying "No Messages". Then mail is delivered as was normally done. When I try to delete unwanted messages the program seems to be working but doesn't delete highlighted message and doesn't open on the next message moved to. Also when trying to send a new message it times out, and I get an error message about SMTP. This is only since the new update was installed.

About 3 weeks ago, I stopped getting email from ATT in Thunderbird. I am able to go online to the ATT mail and see my email, so it is something with Thunderbird. I've looked online for other suggestions and have tried several. Between everything, I've really messed things up and not sure where to start now. Last thing I tried was to delete the certificate and now I can't seem to add a certificate. Not sure if I'm suppose to create a new one or if there is one on my computer.

This morning I found some steps on how to create one. It had me go to the End-to-End Encryption to generate a new one. I didn't see that option, so I created a new OpenPGP key (not sure why I thought that would help).

Maybe the best thing is to try and reinstall Thunderbird.

I'm open to any suggestions.

Thank you.

Ich nutze seit sehr, sehr vielen Jahren SeaMonkey Mail für meine Mailkonten mit mehreren Serveradressen beim selben Hoster. Jetzt werden auf meinem Win10 Rechner seit einiger Zeit die Mails von einem Server zuweilen automatisch abgerufen und dann wieder nicht und stattdessen mit der Fehlermeldung ZEITÜBERSCHREITUNG der Verbindung mit dem Server.... quittiert. Den gleichen Fehler erhalte ich immer, wenn ich versuche, die Mails manuell abzurufen. Die Postfächer der anderer Server werden anstandslos abgerufen. Zusätzlich habe ich nun Thunderbird installiert und dort genau das gleiche Problem. Am gleichen Netzwerk hängen noch andere Rechner, die ebenfalls mit SeaMonkey auf die gleichen Konten zugreifen und dort funktioniert alles einwandfrei, genauso auf meinem Handy mit K9 Mail. Ich habe gefühlt schon alles, was es zu googeln gibt ausprobiert, dieses Problem zu beheben, leider ohne Erfolg. Hat jemand eine hilfreiche Idee?

Yestterday I discovered I no longer have an archives folder in one of my accounts, It's the one I've saved subfolders of receipt emails and others I need. I've checked my web mail and they are still showing there. My other account on Thunderbird still has all folders. I've checked the settings and they are the same in both. When I go to 'subscribe' by right click there's no archive folder listed there. Checking the server settings local directory it only has the inbox as the pic I'll post. How can I get my archive folder and subfolders back? Please understand I'm 69 and not real well, and although I do a lot of simple tech stuff I'm not really up with this sort of thing! Hope someone can help please. 🙏

I got an email from Microsoft saying my Live.com or Outlook.com email accounts won't be supported in Thunderbird UNLESS I change the settings to OAuth2 in incoming and outgoing server settings.

I even REMOVED the email account and re-added it making sure it was OAuth2.

But for my live.com & outlook.com email accounts I continually get prompts for passwords from Thunderbird. Sometimes I can't even click the RED X at the upper right to shut the prompt down. I just happens over and over until I give it what it wants.

I am tempted to shut down all Microsoft email accounts and switch to Gmail.

I have Thunderbird version 115.12.2 (64-bit) I used Windows 11 23H2 build 22631.3810 Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.22700.1020.0

Any idea how to stop these prompts?

I like Thunderbird much more than any other email program I have ever used, and would like to keep it
