Thunderbird was configured to send & receive via Cox /yahoo mail. Worked until recently but can no longer send or receive.

Please advise. Best Regards, Leigh Wax

I'm new to this Thunderbird thing. When I want to forward an e-mail to some of my contacts, the new message includes a whole lot of stuff like: X-Account-Key: account1 X-UIDL: ANRwYBEIR+KrZsX9vQTKkBuB6kw X-Mozilla-Status: 0001 X-Mozilla-Status2: 00000000 X-Mozilla-Keys: Received: from 127.0.0.1 by atlas-production.v2-mail-prod1-bf1.omega.yahoo.com pod-id atlas--production-bf1-566596458d-mfvgh.bf1.yahoo.com with HTTP; Wed, 21 Aug 2024 14:46:20 +0000 Return-Path: <bounce-mc.us5_11364951.351548-5bbafe5c9f@mail231.atl271.mcdlv.net> X-Originating-Ip: [198.2.142.231] Received-SPF: pass (domain of mail231.atl271.mcdlv.net designates 198.2.142.231 as permitted sender) Authentication-Results: atlas-production.v2-mail-prod1-bf1.omega.yahoo.com; dkim=pass header.i=@fbl.mcsv.net header.s=k1; dkim=pass header.i=@israellawcenter.org header.s=k3; spf=pass smtp.mailfrom=mail231.atl271.mcdlv.net; dmarc=pass(p=QUARANTINE) header.from=israellawcenter.org; X-Apparently-To: rabel380915@rogers.com; Wed, 21 Aug 2024 14:46:21 +0000 X-YMailISG: uTTry64WLDvQyypCA8NuFVo6amMGsGK9.q_plWqv8.cYMXNs tVkFqGBa_uQwlr0oWSdvUvskkh_LrX5Ffn1HzwdKoPoyuItQ7HB4AUJ1Tymz H9UjSdjzfxDfrKmikcAdGUZKPmlIJ3wFBwI655eEEbdsgVNhXqJR9K9EIoXu xp4Xb1TRFtiqXU0jMxkfKOpZfIE6arIMNq5wg3pPNDQpMFw4yMuy3Ppj4OGv zPRmPhfoarp7aePbUzuXHxNpqbBwPbDn_w3qvB._9Wh8swB3N4ZiNMxGhmLp rNJhwQEKpqdSivZbhAOxQ5oxBXXIhmRNQsFgjbcWmxHZ4uOTenyuZ8fS6upj S.fxJfPjWJieKz7tuQ0.0HdiVWYdczfEY.0qE4FddiW.3m5XG5HP.CWBQ4XU CEGHUUZcPOs3U3j_gcFVECRikL2bs2.IzyHz2NU9zyOf6YBAOTQzT1Wy7Nl0 yX6kBD3puwpclaCxUys9UxFxBT.oywupPJCtCQS.YGQ4m9wFxCCJtGm54FvC 80t8tJc7uRgWs_Lpipj9YZV4nJm5.2cNbbkDgXaK31QNj3I8IUsuOBJSnDWS fDjI5jMhq8IGyK0Y1L50yjyb.JaTl.d_bgTxEfihAZPhvAx9woxXF1JWb24V Q7ojiEuRoLg9LH9.xP4MJAZ8RJ_uNwpdLG9iXq.98iX5T3VDq8tiOkJGsgSQ bC_rao7j4XFaPLLpQBtmCPo8uf1L0Ge28paaR5KFKjtKCIHTP4th2Tc06DDG AYw2b.4RvIG9qAyIqVzyQh2q1NKKJXt8Mgn41vJ17BU3QAxINqkH2ZQyBD35 I9coRQSr8gZRFOyDck3s3WEiyO6Sf0IKsuWHBW1YAs20funTMApYsNYpxzWY GW9xMu0E3dueJvDZutmUKCEubaJLEI5s_3MqVPNqRCbmUO.oychst6xogcwd Y50n0L_3m.NvRq7ui2Rzf589MrFoDNxP2Zq3JJbC3MY46dQsj90xRkQx2XYb okThK2mOdFYZNL1JCt5o_1G0UB54iB.whpSVmiKcN1R2Bv4K7ifyCdICJHjd 0wuioz44Md7qTsHmvzdxh7A7kJJoHQ4E2dUwNN9lh_hgzUezU3Yo3ChSsAFU RK.02a_wV.7BU9HJE3oUCeYRPcRavjj10CXBP.zKzNdT2NIOR0Og9SJCmBZ5 meQ0KV11f8VMrBV1Q9eQKnNP.262P7W3uLYlwI4dDJrfU77CGLG72ZAMbfUu cxFHGdrMbiYxo5V33j6.U4KfJRrfKuyAXQbjThr4QH87ZGCgaYhnUQTJZkbB NdfqYV2ZvGcH2eX1uw--

Is there a setting that allows me to exclude all this? I cannot recognize any kind of setting in "Settings" or "Account Settings" that allows me to control this issue. Best regards, Rudi Abel

Curious if there is a way to turn off email notifications for only some email accounts logged into Thunderbird. We have several different email accounts we monitor with my business, and we don't require a notification for all of them & would love if there was a way to select which accounts you want live notifications for. Thanks!

I recently upgraded to Thunderbird 128, and now I have very strange things happen when I filter messages. After I type one or two or sometimes three characters into the Filter field Thunderbird freezes. If I continue typing the additional characters don't appear in Filter, nothing happens in filtering, and my mouse cursor disappears when it is in the Thunderbird window (it appears normally if outside the window). After several seconds everything starts working OK, and my messages get filtered.

So, in the end I can filter messages, but this freezing is frustrating and a waste of time.

I am using Thunderbird (ver. 128.1.0esr) as my email client. I have two Internet Service providers: Xfinity(Comcast) and AT&T. I can't send emails when using AT&T but can when using Xfinity. Can receive emails OK on both. Why is this?

I get the green light for creating an account... but it goes yellow tag when I click Done. Will you help, please. I am able to log into my account online with the same PW I have to use in setting up the Thunderbird account. Thanks from a donation customer. //... Joe

Hi,

   I've used Thunderbird on Linux for about 20 years and it has worked flawlessly connecting to my ISP mail for both sending and receiving messages. About 2 weeks ago I tried to send a mail and got an internal error back from the ISP SMTP  server that the message was being blocked as possible spam. POP continued to work fine.

I tried renaming my local .thunderbird directory and downloading the latest version of Thunderbird to try a fresh install. It behaved exactly the same way.

   The frustrating thing is that KMail, an alternate Linux mailer works fine with the exact settings that fail on Thunderbird. I can also send mail from my phone when connected to the same ISP wifi as the Linux machine. 
   I am not sending out messages to large groups of recipients. It will fail (but work in Kmail   and K9Mail on Android) with a trivial test message to myself. 

Any ideas how I can troubleshoot this? I like Thunderbird but can't use it if I can never send mail.

Thanks!

I am a 20-year (give or take) user of Thunderbird, and it is getting almost unusable.

I am hopeful someone can help.

A lot of context....

My principal account is at Comcast (POP3; normal password), but a consulting gig has caused me to add a Outlook account (POP3; OAuth2). And I think that (along with Thunderbird updates within the past year) are the cause of my issues. And the only circumvention I have found is restarting. And yes, I have a large, multi-decade collection of e-mails in about 100 local folders.

Issues that appear intermittently:

1) Pauses (for instance, while composing e-mails) lasting up to 15 seconds where Thunderbird is unresponsive to keystrokes or other UI gestures. 2) Sometimes there are permanent "(Not responding)" lockups. Also there are times where the address book is inaccessible until Thunderbird is closed and restarted. Restarting is also the frequent cure for the persistent authentication issues. 3) Inability to access address book implicitly or via menu item 4) On start-up, generally both accounts get authenticated, but I keep getting nags to enter the Outlook password - If I ignore the nag, it pops up every couple of minutes. If I enter the password incorrectly, it tells me, but if I enter it correctly the login screen goes away, but login screen reappears within a few minutes. 5) Likely in conjunction with (4) above, I intermittently cannot send e-mails outbound to the Comcast account, with Tbird complaining about authentication; reentering the Comcast password does not help until I restart. 6) If (5) above happens, when I restart Tbird, I have to reenter Comcast passwords, even though I always select "remember password" 7) nstmp folders keep getting created.

Thank you for any assistance you can offer.

Hello, I am desperate. After an update today, my profile is gone. It would be no problem to set up the mails again. But I had saved a lot of mails in local folders for years and I'm afraid that I won't be able to access them if I set everything up again. Unfortunately, I can't do anything with the help articles because they are too technical. I think I have at least found the location of the locally stored mails. How should I proceed so that I can access them again? Thank you so much in advance, Klaudia

I'm using Thunderbird version 115.12.2 on Mac Sonoma 14.5. Every once and a while, when Thunderbird crashes (unfortunately frequent, because of the numbers of folders and emails), my unified folder suddenly contains *all* of my folders, rather than just the 2 inboxes from my 2 different accounts, which is what I want and what I set up when I configured unified.

When I go into properties --> "select the folders to search" it allows me to uncheck 1 folder at a time. BUT I have 1,931 folders !

Is there a way to uncheck all folders in "select the folders to search" and then I can just check inbox in each of my 2 accounts?

Witam Czy i jak można wyszukiwać w kalendarzu wszystkich wydarzeń, nawet tych które mineły. obecnie moge wyszukiwać tylko: dzisiejsze, wydarzenia które nastąpią w ciągu 7, 14, 31 dni, 6 i 12 mc, w tym miesiącu, w tym dniu lub widoczne. Potrzebuje czasem znalesc wydażenie które mineło juz 2-3 mc temu i szybka wyszukwarka go nie znajduje. Wasza konkurencja Outlook bez problemu wyszukuje we wszystkich wydarzeniach. Czy jest możliwość wyszukiwania we wszystkich lub moze jest jakaś wtyczka?

Apart from my main email address, I also have a Gmail address. Recently I stopped receiving and cannot send any emails from that gmail address. I keep receiving a pop-up window every10 minutes asking me to update my gmail parameters. The links given in that pop-up window lead nowhere. I followed instructions given in "Automatic conversion of Google mail accounts to Oauth 2.0 authentication" but the problem subsists. I am trying to attach a screenprint of the pop-up window but can't upload the .PDF. Please help, thanks

Hello, we are running Thunderbird 128.1.0osr (32-bit) released on 8/6/24. Ever since the upgrade my husband's email has not worked correctly.

Around that same time, he received a pop up within the Thunderbird app asking for donations from Thunderbird. The popup would not go away and my husband lost a ton of his email.

Ever since these two events his Thunderbird email won't work correctly.

Messages since 8/4/24 at 6:32 am DO work correctly. Emails prior to 5/6/23 also work correctly. Any message in the time period from 5/6/23 at 11:26 am to 8/4/24 does NOT work correctly.

We are having the same trouble with the sent items folder.

We use a third party email that we import into Thunderbird and have used the third party email and Thunderbird since at least 2020 and never had this problem.

We can see all the message headers in our email list, but when we click on the email, nothing shows up. It will briefly say "message loading" at the bottom corner, but the email is totally blank. Furthermore, the message that peeks out at the bottom is the last email that we clicked on from the section of emails that does work. It is not changing to the email we are actually clicking on.

For example: lets say we have an email with message header "thank you for your order" received on 8/15. We click into that and it pulls up fine.

Then we go into older email from 7/31. The message header is "hurry sale ends today". If we click on that, it will say "message loading" at the bottom corner. However, the message preview at the bottom of the screen still displays the from/to/subject from the previous email we viewed from 8/15 "thank you for your order" (the message from 8/15 shows as blank though).

Even if we double click the message from 7/31 that we are trying to view, it just pulls up a blank screen. The bar at the top will briefly display the correct message title that we are trying to open, then it just blanks out.

Steps we have taken:

1. In Account Settings/Privacy I clicked to "allow remote content". This made an improvement as prior to this we were having the same problem even with recent messages. We could see one or two messages that had just arrived, then the third message we couldn't see. We have messages set to delete on the server after so many days. So I think it was able to recover the message that were still on the remove 3rd party server.

2. We moved a lot of the emails into archive folders as I thought the inbox may be too large. That didn't make any improvement.

Thanks for any help you can provide. My husband has a lot of really important information in his emails that he needs.

Hello, I recently replaced my old PC with new desktop running WIN 11. Although I am able to receive Outlook email. However, when I attempt to send mail from my Outlook address I receive an error message: "Unable to authenticate Outgoing server smtp.office365.com..." The smtp settings are attached.

Thanks, Richard

Hello Is it possible and how to search the calendar for all events, even those that have passed. Currently I can search only: today's, events that will occur in 7, 14, 31 days, 6 and 12 months, this month, this day or visible. Sometimes I need to find an event that has already passed 2-3 months ago and the quick search does not find it. Your Outlook competitor searches in all events without any problem. Is it possible to search in all or maybe there is a plug-in?

my head is spinning with trying to understand. i changed the authentication to oauth2 but can't seem to find out whats wrong and my dislexia is making it so hard to figure out.

My colleague, like me has been using Thunderbird for years, thank you. He has just purchased a new printer (Epson 2200) and he can no longer print any emails. Clicking on print brings up the box with 'Save to pdf' the ony option. We have gone into Troubleshooting Information and the printer appears in the print_printer line. We have also tried clearing the 'Clear saved print settings'. After we restart TB, no change, still unable to print with 'save to pdf' the only option. We have removed and reistalled the printer, which will print anything else outside of TB.

TB is up to date with the Nebula version. Windows 11 on new Acer Laptop.

Can you help?

Thank you
