I am on the 'Setup your Existing Email Address" tab/section in Thunderbird however after inputting the details of my existing email address I want to link with Thunderbird, at the bottom it just states "looking up configuration" but nothing happens. And yes, my email address details along with the password are correct.

Please help.

Two emails arrive, and the badge displaying "2" appears on the taskbar icon for T-bird V. 115, POP, on a Windows 11 computer. There are no other unread emails. One email is read, and the 2 remains, instead of decrementing to 1. Then the second unread email is read, and the "2" still remains. The only way to get rid of the "2", which is now a false reading, is to close and reopen T-bird. Is there any reason, other than a bug, for the badge on the T-bird icon to be entirely unresponsive to reading all the remaining emails in the list? Are any Win 11 settings relevant for this issue area? [T-bird was downloaded yesterday, so up to date.]

After updating to Thunderbird version 115.12.2(32 bit) two days ago, I can no longer send emails. I get an error message "Authentification error (VM401)" I use Virgin Media. I can receive emails OK. I have not changed any server settings for a long time. I have been in touch with Virgin Media, they say the problem is with Thunderbird as I can send emails from on their one line system. I can also send emails from my Android phone. Any help would be appreciated.

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.

I have migrated to a new email account. Both my new and old accounts were on Thunderbird. Yesterday I moved to delete the account I am no longer using. When I did this I was given the option of keeping my email folders---I have, or had, a lot of old emails I wanted to keep. So I selected to delete the account but keep the folders. When I hit the remove button all the folders disappeared.

Can anyone help? I am hoping to folders are still on my hard drive, can they be recovered and put into my new email on the computer? I am using a MacBook Air.

Please reply to my new email: marks@west-point.org.

Thank you

In working with T-Bird and trying to scroll an email, or sometimes scrolling folders (targets of rules) T-bird will stop responding. I have had this happen on two different W11 machines. ALT-F4 does not terminate T-Bird. I have to do the 3 finger salute, get into task manager and kill it from there. It will restart as if nothing happened. 115.8.1 (64-bit) is the level I am using. I see a new level is available, so I will try that in a while. (handling multiple tasks...).

I use SeaMonkey email. In the last month, something has happened to prevent me from sending email. I can receive, but not send. My provider, Spectrum, is no help in troubleshooting. I decided to try & set up a Thunderbird account, but it also prevents me from completing the installation because of configuration errors. I am at the point where I have done everything I know. Help.

Had a Windows update, and it apparently screwed up Thunderbird. Can't block delete messages, and the write message screen size changed - it's now all the way across the screen. That's just for openers - can't imagine what else might be screwed up.

Tried "troubleshooting" and it didn't work, and have no idea how, or if, the changes from the Windows update can be reversed.

Thanks very much for your help. I've been using Thunderbird for many years, but the mail has become almost unusable - if mail can't be fixed, what do you recommend to replace Thunderbird?

Hi, Having trouble connecting my 1and1 email address with Thunderbird as when I input email address details in the 'setup your existing email address' tab it just stalls on looking up configuration....

Help!

Thunderbird 115.12.2 is generating an overlay over the body of an email message blocking the user from clicking on the login link when they move the mouse cursor close to the login button contained in the email body.

Hopefully the attached images adequately demonstrate what is happening.

What is this feature called and how do I disable it please?

Thanks

I recently created a new profile, changing from POP3 to IMAP in order to meet the new Microsoft security requirements. All went well until I went to change my address book backup copy routine to access my address book in the new profile.. I cannot find any .MAB nor .SQLITE files anywhere! My address book is out there somewhere, as I can bring it up in Thunderbird, but I cannot find the actual file. What's going on?

Running TB 115.12.2 (32-bit), Windows 10 10.0.19045 Build 19045

Since migrating from BT to EE they changed some settings & now I am unable to send e-mail, but can still receive them. I can still use webmail though. EE cannot help as they have no knowledge of how Thunderbird works. The only help they gave was to contact you. I run version 115.12.2 (64-bit) using Windows 10. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

'bold text'bold textOn 6/24, Juno Security <security@support.juno.com> sent me an email that Thunderbird downloaded that my account had been compromised, & I needed to reset my password. I chanced my password in Juno & put that same password into Thunderbird [I think] Since then I have needed to use that new password to open the Thunderbird program, but Thunderbird won't download email from my Juno popmail to Thunderbird. Thanks for your help.

My email was hacked last week. I worked with Spectrum yesterday to solve the incoming mail problem as far as webmail is concerned. But I still cannot receive mail through Thunderbird.

Hi.

Why every time i run thunderbird and if i leave it open too often it bring me the error message for all hotmail/outlook mail accounts i have???

What the heck is happening and how i can solve this?

When I attach a file to an email in Thunderbird, the window of attachment goes always to the first file instead to return to the last file attached when I want to attach a second file which is a loss of time. It is better to return to the last chosen file.
