I just realized that my Thunderbird settings were set to never delete messages from my archive. My email was unusable for a few days as a result. I was able to change the settings under Disk Space so that my archive will delete messages once every 365 days and I also compacted my folders. I can now RECEIVE new messages again, but I still cannot SEND new messages out. I am unable to sign into my Thunderbird account as I forgot/lost my password. Could someone kindly tell me how to reset my Thunderbird password and advise me how to clear my archive....or explain why I still cannot SEND new messages?

I wish to transfer my Thunderbird accounts (i.e. I have two different email addresses in one Thunderbird installation) from my 'old' PC to my 'new' laptop.

Historically I have backed up my emails by copying the Thunderbird folder from <user>/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird and pasting it to my backup disk. This has worked well for more than 6 years. In that time, I've had to recover a couple of times by simply re-installing Thunderbird, establishing it with my main email account (ian_and_maureen@yahoo.co.uk), then replacing the newly established .../Roaming/Thunderbird folder with the archived one, thus recovering all my subfolder data in the Inbox of ian_and_maureen... plus a second email address.

I've tried to do this with the laptop, but I don't fully recover the historical data, all I get is the current Inboxes for the two accounts with no historical data. Can you advise me what I'm doing wrong? If this is the wrong way, what is the correct way? It seems essentially the same action as is described by the guide found at Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer | Thunderbird Help (mozilla.org)

My PC is running Windows 10 Version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.4717) with Thunderbird Version 115.13.0 (32-bit). The Laptop is Windows 11 Version 23H2 (OS Build 22631.3958 with Thunderbird Version 115.13.0 (64-bit)

I had been receiving new emails automatically. Now I have to restart Thunderbird to receive any new emails. My Thunderbird is set to download new emails every one minute. My email service is through Earthlink. Could this problem be related to a recent Thunderbird update? Thank you for any suggestions.

After detaching an attachment from a message in my Inbox (viewing in Message Pane), Thunderbird automatically skips down to the next message. How do I keep it from doing that? Thunderbird 128 for Windows.

What I want is really very simple and should be logical. I read my emails in the Message Pane. After detaching a detachment, I want to then reply to the person who sent me the file. But Thunderbird automatically skips to the next message in the Inbox, so when I reflexively hit "Reply," I'm suddently replying to the wrong message. It's really annoying. :-) And makes no sense. I'm not "done" with a message just because I've detached a file...

I'm pretty sure I managed to fix this once before, but all my searches only turn up answers to turning off "auto-advance" when deleting a message, not detaching a file.

On 31 July, a day before the Thunderbird update from V115 to V128, the emails in my inbox no longer had reply or forward options and were addressed as coming from me as well as to me.

A yellow message at the bottom of each email read: "A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and settings from identity Marcus Relton <my email address>"

My email provider thinks Thunderbird mistakenly believes these emails to be drafts. I have added on FolderFlags, which now has a V128 version since I first experienced this problem last week.

I am supposed to be able to right-click the inbox, go down the drop-down menu to properties then see another dialogue box but this isn't appearing.

I can only reply to or forward emails by right-clicking in the message in the inbox and I can't click on links in the email. I have to open the link then cut and paste them.

Mail.coop, here in the UK is trying to find a solution, having hoped FolderFlags would work, but if anyone has any suggestions, please share.

I saw someone had a similar problem with their drafts folder in April but the suggested fix didn't solve it.

Thanks,

Marcus

So, I'm currently testing the EWS integration and my email requires OAuth2. Unlike the 128 flatpak (which is all I can use on my main PC since it's immutable) where it would get stuck on Checking Password. My second machine has Ubuntu and I'm running the Daily from today.

It allowed me to create the account but will not pull down any emails, likely due to the lack of Oauth2. I've tried all of the other options for SSL/TLS Auth methods on the security settings for the incoming server. The only options are Normal Password, Encrypted Password, Kerberos/GSSAPI, and NTLM.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I just installed the newest Thunderbird client on my Windows 11 PC but I am unable to add any email accounts to it. My Gmail account hangs forever checking the password and my custom domain account hangs forever after it says Password OK. Both have messages like the following on the status bar at the bottom of the screen:

"Mail for user@host@emaildomain: Sending login information"

Nothing else happens. It just sits on this forever. If I Cancel, my email addresses are not added to Thunderbird.

I'm not sure what else I can do. Even trying to set the servers manually does not fix the issue.

je viens de réinstaller Thunderbird sur windows lors de la creation de l'adresse mail, les tests se passent bien, mais lorsque je clique sur terminé: j'ai le message jaune Component returned failure code: 0x8004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) (nsiMsgAccountManager.createincomingserver)

j'ai déjà vidé le cache de démarrage, redémarré

merci pour votre aide

我在配置QQ邮箱时候，有一个文件夹没有让我可以勾选是否订阅的按钮，只能保持订阅。显示的名字是"其他文件夹"。 When I configure my QQ mailbox, there is a folder that doesn't allow me to check the button to subscribe or not, but only to stay subscribed. The name displayed is "Other Folders".

我通过qq邮箱官方网页版登录的时候没有找到这个文件夹。显示订阅地址是imap://[MYACCOUNT]%40qq.com@imap.qq.com/%26UXZO1mWHTvZZOQ-，推测%26UXZO1mWHTvZZOQ-是文件夹在服务器中的名字。 I can't find this folder when I log in through the official web version of qq mail. It shows the subscription address as imap://[MYACCOUNT]%40qq.com@imap.qq.com/%26UXZO1mWHTvZZOQ-, presumably %26UXZO1mWHTvZZZOQ- is the name of the folder in the server.

我不清楚问题出在thunderbird的客户端还是qq邮箱的服务器上。我希望能够取消这个文件夹的订阅。 I'm not sure if the problem is with the thunderbird client or the qq mail server. I would like to be able to unsubscribe from this folder.

I usually work with my computer hardwired to my router. For some reason, this is not working anymore and now I have my computer connected via wifi. As soon as I changed from cable to wifi, Thunderbird started to ask permission to connect to my Google account every time I open Thunderbird. Sometimes I have to grant permission several times. At some point, it stops and I can keep on with my work until the next time I restart my computer and open Thunderbird. Then the cycles starts all over again. Any ideas¿?

I'm on Thunderbird Nebula 128.1.0esr 64-bit. I use IMAP and I have multiple accounts in my Thunderbird configuration. I have Google Workspace for our business which I can received and read email by IMAP, but I cannot send. I also have a personal Gmail account and that can send and receive.

Yesterday Google experienced a global outage and as best I can tell it has somehow screwed up the OAuth2 Session / Tokens for some Thunderbird clients. Over on Reddit there are other users reporting the issue and it appears to be a bigger issue on Workspace accounts. It does not affect the entire Workspace domain. In our business, I have other users who are on Thunderbird and can still send/receive email on the same Workspace hosted domain that I am having issues with.

I have gone into Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Passwords and removed the entries for the account that I'm having problems with. That did cause Thunderbird to spawn the browser window to Google to carry through with OAuth2 token approval. That got me back into receiving email, but I still can't send via SMTP.

When trying to send I get the following dialog, but clicking Enter New Password just does nothing and the Dialog just reloads again. I attempted to add a new SMTP Server in Thunderbird, but that never prompts a new OAuth2 dialog for that new server and same Dialog box appears.

I have been having an issue sending email after upgrading the version. I attached the error prompt. I would really appreciate if someone could help me resolve this. Thanks.

I have a problem with not receiving emails. My inbox is 100% full even after I deleted emails from the last couple of months. Can I ask for help? My thunderbird email is: gajos@muzeumgpe-chorzow.pl.
