Hello, The Optimum SMTP is recently rejecting emails I am sending from one of three Optimum email accounts that I have. When using the one account I get the following rejection notice:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Spam detected by content scanner. Message rejected (ID 6661A65F0037E564). Please check the message and try again.

This only occurs when I use Thunderbird to send messages. If I use Outlook on the same computer, I do not get the error. Previously, I was getting the error on all three accounts, but when I upgraded to 64-bit Thunderbird, the problem went away. Of course, I called Optimum and they said that the problem was on my side and were not helpful. They also don't take any responsibility if you don't use their web interface.

I would appreciate any ideas that anyone has on what I could try to eliminate this problem. Thank you.

Every-time I open up Thunderbird e-mail Version 115.11.1 (64-bit) to access my Outlook E-mail Account, it pops open a box wanting me to enter my password! :-( I can enter it and mark that box to use "Password Manager", but it doesn't matter if I check that box or not, because every-time I reopen Thunderbird it asks me for that password again! :-( This problem just started in the last few weeks...... Once I enter my password, I can receive and send e-mails just fine, but when I close Thunderbird and reopen it, that popup box reappears again, where I must enter my password. (see picture I attached) If I just X out of it, I can't access my e-mail at all, as that box asking for a password, pops back open again asking me for my password AGAIN! Which by the way is 100% correct, as I can access my e-mail through Firefox, Google Chrome or Edge Browser just fine. I have used Thunderbird for years and have NEVER encountered this problem before, I hope you have a fix! I am running Windows 10 Pro Version 22H2. Thanks in advance! Keith

We have had thunder foe a few weeks now and have been very happy with it. Today it suddenly stopped sending and receiving emails. I have checked the help page but am struggling to figure out how to fix. Can you please help. Cheers Colin

Good morning. I have been unable to receive e-mails since 30/05/2024. Has the fact that I received an e-mail message from "Mail@voice" <mboudreaux@firmgroupagency.com> on 31/05/2024, got to do with the problem. I would be grateful could help solve the problem. Thank you. Emyr Davies.

I use Thunderbird to check the 15 different email accounts that I have to respond to. On the 4th of June it just quit sending or receiving emails. I tried deleting some of my emails but it hasn't helped. Do you think I haven't deleted enough or would there be another reason for it to quit working.

I just started using TB about 2 weeks ago. I have not even gotten to the point of installing a eml to mbox software to move my folders, etc into TB from emClient. I am changing because emC quit authenticating 'out of the blue'. I have been getting and sending emails perfectly well in TB until about 4 days ago. I get a message that says it cannot connect to Comcast server. Nothing about authentication or a password. It just stopped! I talked to Comcast tech support today and they said everything on their end looked good. I have spent several hours tonight going thru TB checking everything, reading this forums notes on unable to connect, restarted a couple of times, etc. Needless to say, I am not happy and really don't know if I should ditch TB and go to a 3rd different email program. (Note: I am not one who changes often or without a fight to keep a program.) I have been with emClient for over 10 yrs. All their suggestions have not worked. I like TB and really want it to work. Suggestions please.

Today, Thunderbird has switched servers on my two email accounts. My two accounts are a Cox email which has been moved over to Yahoo and a business account which uses Gmail. I have messages on the Yahoo server but when I ask Thunderbird to "Get Messages", I can see from the info at the bottom of the screen that it's checking Gmail not Yahoo.

Okay, all of a sudden it's now back on track. I don't understand how this glitch came about. Hopefully, it won't happen again.

Dear Sirs,

Please help why didn’t support China Office 365? We are using China exchange online, but it can’t use Thunderbird login our account. We have ask them, they need the software register to their system, could you register thunderbird to their system? Thanks!

Hi, just upgrade to Windows1 and did a new installation from Thunderbird. latest version 115.11.0 (32-bits) But the new messages are almost directly market as read even with setting mark messages automatic as read set to no? On a other pc with Windows11 I had the same problem with the 64bit version but going to the 32bit version solved the problem. Any Idea how to solved this problem? Regards Karina

I have 2 different yahoo email accounts that I access through Thunderbird. When I added the 2nd account, it changed the SMTP Server Settings "user name" of the 1st one to the same as the new one. I received an error when I tried to send an email from the 1st account, after looking at the settings, i noticed the SMTP user name was wrong. When I changed it on the 1st account, it automatically changed it on the 2nd account as well.

I'm on Thunderbird 115.11.1 on Windows 11. I got an error that there wasn't space to download emails today. My Thunderbird profile shows this:

            121 File(s)    100,867,461 bytes
             24 Dir(s)  455,503,380,480 bytes free

In the startupCache folder File Explorer says that there are 2500 directories, 660 files, and 4.94 TB of content. The last few lines of a dir command show this. Note the weird dates on the directories and garbage names.

What is the best way to clean this up?

When I try to switch profiles, I get the following error: An unexpected error has prevented your changes from being saved. I have been messing around with this on and off for a couple of months. I uninstalled Thunderbird and re-installed with no luck. This error is not allowing me to switch to a profile that I have had for over 20 years and I have lost all my Local Folders, quite disturbing. I found a similar thread here, but no solution. Thanks, Paul

I sent a message a while back about slowness with 115, which I had to download because I had a crash.

There were various suggestions, but no solutions to the excessive slowness with 115. This culminated to day in a long 'no reply' mail which suggested the issue might be the virus checker.....

I checked again the various messages about 115 - most were archived, only one month since they were posted!!

Is there an issue with 115?? I saw a thread which asked was I having issues with it, my answer is yes, is there nobody out there with a suggestion??

Hi I am having problems with Thunderbird, i’m not sure if it’s to do with a windows 11 update or something else. Thunderbird is not responding also at the start of the ‘not responding’ emails from one of my accounts disappeared and then gradually started to reappear but didn’t get up to date and now just not responding st all. I have tried various things to resolve this, uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird, doing this and opening my pc in safe mode, doing this and opening Thunderbird in safe mode. Deleting and reinstalling the latest windows 11 update, reinstalling the latest Thunderbird update. I don’t know what to try next? I read somewhere to delete your profile, after saving it, and getting a new profile but no idea how to do this. Any help appreciated.

I am using Thunderbird version 115.7.0(64-bit).

The Inbox is 15.5 GB in size as shown in the attached image file,Inbox Size.Jpeg.

The Inbox folder is not displayed as the attached image file,Folders.jpeg, indicates.

Please provide me with a solution to this problem.

I have been using Thunderbird for probably greater than 15 years (back when I was in college). The last couple of years I have noticed an issue of when deleting multiple emails that has gotten progressively worse, where the entire application will hang in "Not Responding". For a test, I just deleted a batch of emails from the last month (newsletters, notifications, etc), it was 113 messages, and froze the application for more than six minutes. This was on my hotmail account but the same happens for my other accounts as well (all configured as IMAP). The issue has persisted through uninstall/reinstalls and even across a replacement computer. No extensions are installed.

Any thoughts?
