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

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

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?

How do I revert back to a prior version of Thunderbird? The latest update has a great user interface but it has wrecked a few things for me. For some reason, some of the emails I put into folder (not in the inbox) now look almost like code. Also, I was using an ActiveSync addon to get an email address to work but now that is not working.

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.

Dear Mozilla Support

I have updated to 128.1.0esr (64 bit) and now I can't see the content of many sent messages. The content does not appear neither in the message panel nor when I open the message in a new window. If I try to forward or reply to the message it's empty and has no recepients and no subject - like a new empty message.

Please can someone help. We have a chromebook which we use thunderbird to send and receive emails. We are having trouble finding attachments to attach when we send emails. Can someone tell me where to find them. We have them in our files on the chrome book when we type an email and then select attachments we then can't find them. we have tried everything, before we used to save them to linux then this would then show the attachment and we could then attach and send. For some reason this doesn't work anymore. Sure it's a setting issue somewhere, if you could point us in the right direction that would be great. Regards Graeme

Strangely, I can't figure out how to add to someone else's post if it doesn't already have replies so I'm having to start my own thread. Anyway...

Thunderbird on my system is 32-bit on 32-bit Windows and a day or two ago it updated itself to version 115.10.1. Since then it's been slow at sending emails, receiving emails, applying filters and pretty much everything else. Is this being worked on? I saw a couple of similar reports from other people here but like I said, I can't add a reply to them.

And if it's not known about or being worked on, is there some way I can roll back an update?

Ever since I've been upgraded to Thunderbird 128, I've been experiencing constant hangs. I'm running the latest versions of Thunderbird and Windows 10. My antivirus software is Windows Security.

This issue seems to be most acute whenever Thunderbird checks for new messages. Thunderbird's CPU usage jumps to between 25 and 30%, and memory and disk usage also skyrocket. Thunderbird freezes completely, and everything other program that's running at the time is slowed to a crawl for several minutes minutes. Troubleshoot Mode doesn't help.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
