Today, July 31,2024... Told by Spectrum that third party Thunderbird is no not supported on their servers

* My email 'In box' is frozen and the Login box persistently fails for xxxxxxx@roadrunner.com on mail.twc.com 

• My take away is that the only way I can retain my address is to attach it to a web mail account such as https://webmail.spectrum.net/mail or google mail.

Is there any way to keep Thunderbird separate and retain my current email address?

I get this strange message when I try to send an email that says ongoing server - smtp. authentication method in account settings, outgoing server SMPT.

I have Outlook in two other computers and Outlook works fine? Thank you, Jim

Is Thunderbird going to hand out email addresses as a client instead of being a browser? I would really love it if Thunderbird did this so I can get rid of my....antiquated MSN account. Microsoft has become rather full of their self, and I would prefer to be able to sever my last tie to them.

Hello,

My name is Jasper. I've downloaded Thunderbird and linked my gmail account to it and I'm at the point where I'm ready to delete emails from my gmail account. However, I weary that I've done something wrong, not followed the instructions properly and when I proceed with deleting my emails I may lose them permanently. Is there some way someone can review my account and check that everything is in order?

Regards, Jasper

No longer receiving nor able to send emails from my Comcast address. Password no longer recognized. Tried accessing emails through my Xfinity account but it won’t recognize my four digit code and DOB to sign in. Can someone please help?

Hello, I have recieve a message from Microsoft requesting a change in authentication method to access the Thunderbird e-mail box. I can makert the change for the Server settings from "normal password" to "OAuth2". Howver when I try to do the same change for the Outgoing server, there is no "OAuth2" in the list. So, for the moment, I keep the "normal password". Could you help . Additional information : the outlook name that I use is "Outlook.com(Microsfort) - stmp-mail.outlook.com (Défaut)". Regards Michel

//all of my email from 07/17/24 axe stuck on a deleted email when I try to open new emails, This isn't he first time that this has happened I've checked all of my settings and as far as I can tell everything looks ok However, I'm not a computer wiz so I don't know what the heck is the problem? And like I have said this isn't the first time that this has happened I didn't change settings on my computer and neither nor on Thunderbird???

Windows 10. Thunderbird 115.8.0 While trying to figure out why my taskbar badge says I have 99+ unread emails (for the record, I only have 7), I hovered over the tray icon, and it says I have over 4 billion (with a B!) unread emails. That's not even possible with the email address I'm using it for. Why would this be like this, and how do I get it to be accurate?

Reading the version notes on 128 it wasn't clear to me all that is changing. I am very happy with 115. The layout I use is the Folder view with a folder pane and a message pane. I do not use the cards view. Will this setup be essentially the same in 128?

Also, now that you have the new code will upgrading break my add-ins like it always used to before 115? The add-ins I currently use are: FileLink provider for Send, Header Tools Improved, and PopmailListRecipients.

thank you.

In the latest TB version, 128.0.1, emails I'm sending to oher people or even to myself are showing up in Sent but not being received by recipients- looks like big problem!

Every time I restart Thunderbird it looses my tab settings, I use many open tabs one for each email accounts inbox and then a few more, after a restart, I am force to close all except the first and the calendar and chats which are fine, and then manually open them all again, this needs fixing

Sehr geehrtes Support-Team,

ich habe ein dringendes Problem mit meinem E-Mail-Konto, das ich über Thunderbird verwalte. Leider kann ich mich seit kurzem nicht mehr anmelden, was besonders problematisch ist, da ich dieses Konto für berufliche Zwecke nutze.

Folgende Probleme sind aufgetreten:

Anmeldung fehlgeschlagen: Bei dem Versuch, mich anzumelden, erhalte ich die Nachricht, dass mein Passwort falsch ist. Leider erinnere ich mich nicht an mein aktuelles Passwort und konnte es auch nicht zurücksetzen.

Kontoerkennung: Obwohl mein Benutzername korrekt erkannt wird, führt dies nicht zur Lösung des Problems, da die Passworteingabe weiterhin scheitert.

Ich habe bereits folgende Schritte unternommen, um das Problem zu beheben:

Überprüfung der Internetverbindung Überprüfung der Kontoeinstellungen in Thunderbird Versuch, das Passwort zurückzusetzen Leider waren diese Maßnahmen nicht erfolgreich. Da ich dringend Zugriff auf mein E-Mail-Konto benötige, wäre ich Ihnen sehr dankbar, wenn Sie mir schnellstmöglich helfen könnten, das Problem zu lösen.

Bitte lassen Sie mich wissen, welche Informationen Sie von mir benötigen oder welche weiteren Schritte ich unternehmen kann.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Alaa Nasser

About Migration of Thunderbird to a new iMac, Used Apple Migration Assistant to transfer files to new iMac. Firefox only worked after required install of Rosetta. However Thunderbird did not. Message: "Thunderbird damaged. Can't be opened, move to Trash." Is there still a way to retrieve all T-bird on old iMac to new iMac?

Hello, I'm Christian. I am still facing issues changing my Thunderbird into an IMAP account, for following reasons: -exporting the existing is OK -creating the IMAP account is OK -Reimporting the messages from previous POP3 account difficult, because: -when using the import fonction, a local folder is being created with a directory three that looks liked the previous Dir structure I had previously. But transfering the folder and files proves difficult, the copy/paste function does not work properly so I can't just click and drag. My thunderbird folder is approx. 20g, could that be the reason? Furthermore, I cannot delete the previous POP3 account or the local folders. Any idea why? I actually do have a thunderbird account (POP3) comprises of 4 differents email addresses, I can delete 3, but not the last one as it appears to be the default one. Thanks a lot for your support, much appreciated. Christian

After recently downloading the Thunderbird update on a PC, a problem developed when trying to move email messages to folders and subfolders. The message sometimes disappears and is lost after moving it to a folder (using the menu tool).

Suddenly last night Thunderbird had copied several folders within one of my accounts. I discovered that the copy versions folders all were empty (while the original folders had the saved post. So I decided to move the empty folders into trashcan and then empty it. However I discovered after a reopening of Thunderbird that the original folders also were deleted, so I missed all my post within the many folders. Now I like to ask : Is there a way to recover such deleted folders, since as far as I know my C-drive has a backup while the program is functioning on my D-drive . So is there a way to recover deleted TB files from my d-drive by doing something in the TB program om my C-drive.  ??
