Thunderbird Community Forum

I use pop3 for all my emails. I am setting up a new computer (not copying over old email backups) and trying to get my msn.com and live.com set up. It keeps telling me my username or password is incorrect. I can sign into the microsoft email directly, so I know they are correct. In thunderbird I add email and password for the msn email. click on pop3 - it auto populates the info. but when I click done - it states: unable to login at server. probably wrong configuration or username and password. (I did try imap with the same username and password and it worked - I just prefer to keep everything on my computer)

My emails stopped sending suddenly this morning after restarting Thunderbird. (Receive OK) Attached is screenshot of my SMPT settings. Also attached are the error messages I receive. The first message (received after trying to send with the settings in the screenshot) indicates that I should change Authentication Method to Normal Password. When I change the Authentication Method to Normal Password, I receive the second error message when trying to send. I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be. (I have tried turning off my antivirus/firewall.)

Fresh Install of Thunder Bird. Trying to send a new e-mail but not finding a SEND command there is only a SEND LATER button. Is there something wrong with my set-up that I need to change?

Also how can I change the font size of the tiles in my folders. I've searched the set-up over and over and not seeing an option for a font change. There is only a font change for new email.

Thanks Mike

Just updated to Thunderbird Nebula 128.0.1esr on Windows 11 and my calendars are all empty now. I have Google and Exchange (via OWL extension) calendars that have worked flawlessly up until this update, but all show no events in Thunderbird. No other changes have been made and the calendars appear populated in other applications.

The new edition released today doesn't allow the Keyboard "Return" Key to accept the recommended spelling correction. You must now click the "Replace" Icon in the Check Spelling Pop-up. Is there a setting/other where this can be adjusted/modified so that the Keyboard Return Key works again?

When entering an email address, The LDAP address book credentials dialog gets stuck in loop. Entering an address triggers the LDAP dialog asking for a password, however, I click cancel. (meaning I don't want to use the LDAP address book), but Thunderbird isn't handling the event correctly.

This prevents me from entering an email address.

Otherwise the new version is pretty nice.

Hope for a fix

I am a bit confused!

If I compose a message and start typing in the address field ("Partington") then 2 addresses are shown. One is the right one and one is an old one that I do not want.

However, if I look in my Address Book and select "All Address Books" then the old address is not shown. Can anyone suggest where it is picking this up from?

I have Thunderbird sedt to download my main business email plus my gmail. When I click Get Messages, it's only checking my Gmail account. It's not even trying to log in and get my business emails.

How do I troubleshoot this?

I was recommended by PlusNet to use Thunderbird so I can receive emails on my computer (Windows10). I managed to download Thunderbirds and start the process of setting up email, but guess I have got some settings wrong. Can you help me please?

Suddenly, Thunderbird lost all emails. I think it happen after I used the "AddressBook". I deleted some duplicate entries from there.

Somebody suggested to check the Indox file c:\Users\trei\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\j5akdx98.default\Mail\pop.GMail.com\Inbox

There I have found indeed that "X-Mozilla-Status" was 0000 instead of 0001. I closed TB, did a batch replace, deleted the msf files and indeed the emails were back. However soon after that they disappeared again. Now the status is correct (0001) but the messages still won't appear.

Ich habe mehrere email Adressen und will eine davon löschen, mit der ich viel Ärger habe.

Ich habe noch nicht herausfinden können, wie ich diese löschen kann.

Sicher ganz einfach, ich weiß es aber leider nicht.

Danke für einen Hinweis.

I have several email addresses and want to delete one of them that I'm having a lot of trouble with.

I have not yet been able to find out how to delete it.

I'm sure it's easy, but unfortunately I don't know.

Thanks for any advice.

This morning I did not get any new email messages downloaded. Get this message - could not connect to mail server imap.zoominternet.net. Connection was refused. Also saying my gmail account has timed out. Tech at my cable company had me remove my gmail account. Still cannot get in to my email account on my desktop. Please help.

I continue to get an error message every time I start Thunderbird stating that log-in to Microsoft mail fails and asking me to enter a new password. I would like to delete this account from Thunderbird as I rarely use it for messages. The "Delete Folder" option is grayed out and not available.

When I go to tools and select "Delete mail marked as junk in folder", it will only remove 1 junk item at a time. I may have 30-40 items and have to do this multiple times. Also, if I just try to delete the items by highlighting them, again, it only deletes 1 item. I have 2 separate emails in thunderbird and it only happens to one of them as the other works just fine. They are both set up the same. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

When I recieve long e-mails that I must forward to others how do I edit parts of the text of the e-mails so some infos keep confidentials for some of the recipients and do not become public to all ? Do I have to rewrite the text everytime for each of the ?

I updated from TB 115 to TB 128. My list of folders in the Folder pane is now "longer" and has a scroll bar. It used to all fit. It looks like the spacing between folder entries has increased. Is there any way to decrease it? Nothing obvious in settings. Can it be changed in about:config or a userChrome.css file? I had to do something similar with Firefox's Bookmarks list.

After the latest update I still have a serious problem: I still can't send e-mail. Every time I get a time-out message for the connection to the SMTP-server.
