Thunderbird Community Forum

I am running Thunderbird on OS Ventura 13.6.7 on a Macbook Pro. I have used Thunderbird for years to access my Yahoo email account, but today (again after having problems a year or two ago) I keep getting a window popup asking me to login. However it does not ask for a password and when I click on next it gives me an error saying I have to enable cookies on my browser (they are enabled). I can login online but I would much rather continue to use Thunderbird as I have a number of other email accounts as well. I read about others here with similar problems but don't know of any anti-virus in my Mac. Here is a screenshot of the error message.

I am currently on Ver 115.12.2 (32-bit), but I've had this problem over several versions. I recently downgraded from the 64bit version (for a different reason), it had the same issue.

Old messages in the Inbox are listed twice, including those that have been read. New incoming messages are not duplicated, messages where I've deleted the duplicates are not again duped. Messages that get filtered to or moved to folders are not duped. Old messages that are in folders are not duped.

I have several email accounts in TB, and I only see this on my most active- of course! I have compacted all folders many times and rebuilt the Global Database with no effect. I tried opening in Troubleshooting mode and they are still duplicated. It is a POP account.

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.

I had three unread messages and this showed correctly in my task bar icon. I click on one of the messages to read it and the counter showed no nread messages.

How can I fix this?

Thanks

I installed t-bird in my outlook folder. Now there are replicas of my personal email data with suffixes .sbd and .msf. What is their purpose and can I delete them?

bold textThis is for my dad he has 3 different accounts on his Thunderbird account his own my moms and a gmail account. it is a web based account through comcast/xfinity . he has it set up for pop3.. he is using 115 version. any way every time he would try to sign in to his account it would come up with my moms account he would put in the password he thought he had and it did not work. Had he was unable to send and receive from his own account. I had him go to Comcast/ Xfinity and change the password which he did and tried again to get into his Thunderbird account and it for the Primary password and he puts in waht he just changed in Comcast it did not /does not work. what can he do. He had gone away for a few days unplugged his computer but tht should not have changed any thing. thanks what can he do.

I changed setting for 'unsent message' from 'alert me' to 'no'. Suddenly 'in' for ljboland@verizon.net show no read nor unread 'in box' and the Sent messages do not appear as tho there are none but on top ' 2201 messages' is shown.

I have been fighting this for a while but I do not receive emails from people with gmail accounts. My email service is from gmx.com that I access from thunderbird. Several months ago I suddenly stopped getting my wife's emails. She now texts me if she needs to send me something. Now the same problem with my daughter's gmail account. I have not received emails from some others that are probably also gmail accounts. I don't seem to have a problem getting emails from accounts other than gmail.

If I go to the gmx site, the emails are there but they are not being downloaded by thunderbird. Thunderbird does download all the other emails, just not the ones from gmail accounts. I have checked my message filters and there are no filters that reference gmail. How can I fix this?

If anyone can help me with this, I'd appreciate it:

Any anyone ever had Thunderbird Email Filter REALLY work? I never have.

- Some emails do get sent to my Junk Folder (where I have it assigned to go to). - Some emails are noted as Junk, but not filtered to the Junk Folder (please see Image). - Some emails are still coming thru as normal emails, with no notification.

I've added an Image of how I set the Email Filter for every SPAM email.

Thank you in advance.

Tried installing v115 latest on Ubuntu. Hangs when I try to set up email acc and it tries to log into the Gmail server. "Danger ahead" displayed on page with no option to force it to proceed.

Thus please dispense with any solutions for this and just inform how I can install v91.1.2 using apt-get

I see you list the versions but I see no where on how to specify which version to install.

Does "mailnews.localizedRe" still work? If yes, how?

The (preinstalled) default value is "AW,Aw,aw". But when I reply to a message whose subject line begins with "AW:", Thunderbird prepends it with "Re:", so that after a few back and forths we have silly subjects like "Re: AW: Re: AW: Re: AW: .............. ".

Has "mailnews.localizedRe" stopped working? Or how can I get it to work? Thank you!

I am running Thunderbird Flatpak from Flathub on Linux Fedora.

I just checked for updates in Software app. I noticed a few, plus system updates so ran them. I remember seeing Thunderbird reported something weird like ‘v128 [arrowright] v115’. I am making that up but I remember two numbers and the left hand one was a higher number than right hand one.

I thought it was odd but carried on, assuming Software updates never go backwards so it must be some weird anomaly. After rebooting, after updates done, I now get an error/warning when I open Thunderbird…

I’m now confused and worried I screwed up my Thunderbird, in which is 20 years of email. Hoping someone can allay my fears and perhaps advise what I should do? thanks
