Hi.

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

Hi All, I'm using Thunderbird to manage Apple and Outlook emails. When I logged in this morning all my folders under the apple ID have disappeared. They still exist in webmail but not in the program. Cant work how to fix this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Andrew

Can't send or receive email since Telstra changed authentication. After an hour on the phone with Telstra they claims settings are correct as I can access through webmail, but not through Thunderbird.

In privacy and settings, Saved password ,Under saved logins nothing appears, ( I did "remove all" as instructed by Telstra but we can't figure our how to add it back.)

Can anyone instruct me how to fix this? Many thanks I appreciate your assistance

I had to reformat a hard drive. Unfortunately, my current Thunderbird profile was erased. I have a 7-month earlier profile backed up, and my current emails are still available from Spectrum webmail. Can I re-install the old profile, and download the newer emails from Spectrum to create a new profile? What is the safest way to proceed and not lose emails? Thanks!

Using Thunderbird 115.13.0 Not able to send emails. Can receive. I am in Canada. Get incoming email from Mail System (NOT MY ISP)

Login from Country: US United States
Please use this url to enable SMTP sending for the new ip address

If you were not sending from this address then change your password IMMEDIATELY as it is known to a hacker g_safe_smtp: Login attempt from unknown address (23.227.149.3) user=wsilvera@uniserve.com. Open this link in your browser to enable logins: http://mx0.uniserve.com/vfy?f=87c21422

My ISP says this is a Thunderbird issue, and they cannot help. Warren

Hi,

I recently setup a second computer and installed Thunderbird (Built 115.13.0 (64-bit)) again. I transferred all my preferences, but have this strange problem, that the appearance of the email list looks different. In the previously installed version it is a simple list with separators and in the new installed version every email is in a separate box. I included the screenshots as a reference.

I googled and searched the settings to align this, but unfortunately without success. Does anyone know how to change this?

Thank you!

I have had 5 email accounts set up with Thunderbird for several years. Just recently Thunderbird freezes when I try to access that email account. If I click on that email account a second time, I get a Not Responding error at the top of the screen.

I upgraded to 128.0.1esr, but no change.

Ideas?

Thanks, Tom

We have been asked to change server settings to OAuth2 on Thunderbird. I thought I had followed instructions properly from the internet but emails will arrive now but I cannot send any. I keep getting a box asking for my password which then isn't recognised. Should I be going into my gmail account via Gmail itself rather than Thunderbird. We have 2 Gmail accounts and 2 outlook accounts coming into Thunderbird I am not a wizz kid at all this and only understand simple instructions. I am wishing I hadn't altered anything now!

Hi, since yesterday trying to send emails just results in the display box "Sending message" (in German) but it never completes that. Receiving emails works fine. The SMTP entries all appear ok, I have not changed anything in terms of hard- or software. I use windows 10 and thunderbird 115. Sending email via the online interface of the service provider works fine too. This problem appears only when trying to send emails via strato.de but not with gmx.de. As far as I can see the settings are identical. Any ideas? Best regards

I have several calendar items that I deleted on my phone which removed them from Google calendar but the reminders continue to appear in the desktop app.

I restored the items, modified them, deleted them from the calendar that appears in TB but no luck.

The notices lock the app - I can't do anything unless I cancel them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Need procedure to up date email that has been transferred to Yahoo from Cox.net Cox stated I can keep my email address and emails will come in through Yahoo. I do not have a Yahoo account which is separate from the Cox.net email address

Need procedure to keep Thunderbird as email contact for emails. Confused!! Please define how to get back to original system of using Thunderbird and automatically open up my emails. Thx

I have tried repeatedly to delete certain local folders but either they won't delete or just come back after restart

I have even gone into the file explorer under the profile-mail-local folder's and done the deletes but still they come back

What am I missing?

So I have Thunderbird 128.0esr (64-bit) installed on Ubuntu 24; I have found a strange issue when I try to send emails with attachments. In this scenario, I scan files in from my scanner to a network folder, and then copy that file from the network folder to a final location, where I chose from Thunderbird to "attach"

If Thunderbird has been opened prior to the document being scanned and created in the first network folder, if I try to attach it to a email, it does, however, when I try to send I get a error "I do not have permission to access that file"; Strange. I close out Thunderbird, re-open, and try to send the file again, and BOOM, no issues with file permissions. I have replicated this many times.

Any ideas? I have tried running "thunderbird" in console to see if any debug information shows up, it does not. And yes, "closing the program and reopening it all-things-equal" always fixes the problem.

AFter verizon.net email addresses moved to aol, I had initial setup difficulty in TB, but after fixing that it's worked for years. Three days ago it stopped downloading. Usual error message is an aol server timeout, sometimes a "TB is processing this account, please wait." I've tried to reboot, re enter pw, and other simple measures, but nothing seems to work. Still downloads fine w/in aol and on my iphone and ipad, but I prefer this account on pc (latest Win Home). (I expect to finish closing out the address out in a few months, but it's a slow process). Any advice appreciated. Thank you for your help.

I enter my password but it tells its wrong. I have checked and double checked it, its the only password I have and it will not accept it. What do I do? I'm very bad at computer operations, I don't know the language or terminology. Can you help me out? Alt: e-mail, paulsporle@gmail.com

I click answer I get white text on white. I cannot read this text and I am not sure if the receiver can.

Why does this happen, what are the steps to prevent this. Why is Thunderbird doing this?

Hey guys, the client I work for provided my with MS account to be used for communication. Since I am on Linux, these two things doesn't really bond well :) I was using mostly web access for MS Teams and Outlook OWA ...

However, I figured that I would love to try Thunderbird for at least emails (so I got them all my email at one place)...

After some discussion with client's ITHD (after they changed my license to E3 type) I managed to get the email working - so I can send and receive emails ... However, I cannot see the calendar so it's still almost useless for me for I don't see meeting request.

Any idea how to fix that? did any of you guys face the same?

I am a long time Thunderbird user, first use dates back to version 0.3 (yes I am very old :) ). Recently I have started my own domain and introduced a few new mail addresses. Every new mail address I define, comes at the bottom of the list of mailboxes. And now that my old mail address is no longer used, I would like it to the bottom of the list. I have not found how to do that. Can you explain how I can achieve this? Environment Win 10 22H2, Thunderbird 115.13.0 (64-bit). Thanks!

Since installing Thunderbird (on Linux Fedora) I have been really confused by and disappointed in the search functionality. I used Mac Mail for the last 20 years, I know that is pretty good, but I was told Thunderbird is at least function, if not as 'pretty' (some say).

I dont use the Quick Filter box as I have a ton of local folders and usually just need to find an email which could be anywhere, but i KNOW it's there.

I begun testing it. Noticed a few things so wondering if someone can advise if this is just me, or normal behaviour...

In the global search, I finally realised (i think anyway) that it does not actually search everywhere, far from it. For instance, I searched for emails many times and it said they don't exist, so i panicked thinking they were lost, but no, I dived into Deleted Items and there they were. I store deleted items for 3 months, and often refer back to them for past purchase receipts or similar in the rare occasion that I need it again for some reason.

- It doesn't seem to search (doesn't find anyway) in my Imap Deleted Items folder,. OR the Local Folders

- It isn't searching/finding emails in my Local Folderrs, which is a HUGE problem as 95% of my email is stored in those. Why wouldn't a global search find stuff in my local folders? I have tested it and confirmed it's not searching in any of them.

- I have ebay messages in my INBOX, from a username starting with perrie134 - I tried BOTH the quick filter and the CTRL K search, searching for 'perrie134' and then 'perr' and ZERO messages come up. Does the search not include 'from' info?

As far as I can tell, the search is not working at all. So I am hoping something must surely be wrong my end, but grateful if someone can comment. I can't use a program that can't find emails when I type in information included in 'from' and 'subject' areas, but at this point it's failing in every way.

Appreciate any advice/thoughts. Thanks
