I just today returned to Thunderbird. I successfully inclued my 3 email accounts but two of them only have inbox and trash folders none of other folders such as drafts, spam ,deleted or trash etc. folders. My G-mail has all these folders. Do I need to delete the two accounts with the missing folders and reinstall or is there a setting I need to change. Regards Mike

As a last resort to restore my emails after trying everything else, if I delete my account and register it again as a new account will I lose all current emails and folders?

I am trying to set up the latest version on Thunderbird on my wife's old Gateway (WIN 7 home premium). The previous version of TB has problems so I deleted it and am starting over. I have manually configured this TB with the server info from the TB accounts on our other computers, but get the error as stated above. What do I need to check?

Thunderbird finds my account using my email address and password, shows my account configurations and when I hit done to finish it gives me the following error:

Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration username or password.

Even though Thunderbird already lets me access 4 other emails I own at snet.net. I am able to get on that snet.net account at yahoo with the same credentials I give to Thunderbird.

I have removed an iCloud account from Thunderbird but it keeps asking for the password, I have tried removing all references to the account that I can find including the calendar. Any ideas? Thanks
