This is the message I get when it does not go. I contacted Spectrum and they told me to check Thunderbird.

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: p-impout004.msg.pkvw.co.charter.net cmsmtp 73.238.167.193 blocked. Please see https://www.spectrum.net/support/internet/understanding-email-error-codes for more information. AUP#Out-1130.

I have not been able to get my emails today from Charter on my desktop. Everything was working fine yesterday but nothing in coming through today. It looks like it might load, message that it is downloading 1 of 26 and then says nothing to download. I look on Charter website and there are current emails to download but Thunderbird must have a glitch. I have been on the phone with Charter twice, all the settings are correct for incoming and outgoing ports.

I have looked at the settings in Thunderbird and they are correct. I can get the emails on my iPad and iPhone with the Thunderbird app but not the desktop.

Can anyone give me some direction of where to check next?

I have been using Thunderbird for many many years. I am 70+ and the number and kind of hoops I have to jump through just to keep getting my email are getting beyond me. I recently moved my business hosting, and somehow a change was made in my original email code on Thunderbird so I was not able to do anything with it. I want it on Thunderbird BUT I live in a small rural town and can't find anyone who has been able to help me. The other email systems require a code sent to a cell phone, and although I have a simple emergency phone I do not have a smart phone so I can not receive the code. The other email systems I've tried require an email code be sent to a smart phone almost every day, and although we tried to do this with my daughter's smart phone she is frustrated with me because she has to come over and help me so often. Also, I have so-o-o-o many emails in my original account and I don't want to lose them. Can anyone help??? Does anyone there at Thunderbird work on anything like this? Is there a way to reach Thunderbird directly???

I have created an account instance in account settings, and the "Test connection to server" says it is OK, but when I go to the mail tab the get messages button and New Message are grayed out an NO accounts are listed in the "folders" area. Not does it ever ask for my password to the SMTP server I have selected. I have an existing account with my own email service (Hover), and MUST connect to that. This is critical, as I need my e-mail to accomplish necessary activities.

Hi - Thunderbird has not fetched any emails from the past two days. I am running 153.1.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 10. If I remember correctly, I downloaded that version four days ago. I vaguely recall getting some message somehow that I needed the ESR. (Sorry I don't have a very good memory!) Thunderbird did fetch emails for two days after that...but I suppose it's possible that I didn't restart Tbird right away, so maybe it was still using an older version until two days ago?? My ISP is RCN/Astound. Last week, I changed my password on both the RCN webmail and on Thunderbird, and I could send and receive after that. Tonight, when I discovered that Thunderbird wasn't fetching, I also tried to send an email, but I initially received an error message. It was something like "Your message was unable to be saved" and then there was something about saving it as a draft. I've seen that message many times over the years, but I don't remember exactly what it said. Thinking it might be a password requirements issue, I changed my password again. I don't know if that mattered, but I am now able to send emails -- but I still can't fetch them. I turned off my Windows firewall and Windows real-time threat protection. That didn't help. I saw this thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1531863 tonight and set "network.dns.disableIPv6" to "true." That didn't help either. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide. Though I am not a expert, I am happy to provide more info if needed. Thank you in advance for your help.

Dell Desktop - Windows 10 to Lenovo Laptop Windows 11 I followed the Alternative Manual Transfer between Windows 10/11 Roaming Profile and Local Profile Now on Lenova - Mozilla will not open - Profile Missing - Your Thunderbird profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible. I do not know how to uninstall it or how to start over.

Dear Sirs,

I want to configure my email ID sundar@srikrishnalogistics.com (provided by rediffmailpro.com) in Thunderbird.

I have already tried configuring the account.

• • • • • • • • • • • email from support@rediffenterprisepro.com

To configure a Rediffmail Pro email account in Thunderbird using IMAP, use the following settings:

1. Open Thunderbird Go to Account Settings >> Account Actions >> Add Mail Account. Enter: Your Name: User's name Email Address: sundar@srikrishnalogistics.com Password: Email account password Click Configure manually.

2. Enter IMAP settings Incoming Server (IMAP) Server: imap.rediffmailpro.com Port: 993 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication Method: Normal Password Username: Full email address

Outgoing Server (SMTP) Server: smtp.rediffmailpro.com Port: 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication Method: Normal Password Username: Full email address Then click Re-test → Done.

3. Verify synchronization After configuration, Thunderbird should synchronize the mailbox folders with the Rediffmail Pro server.

Important: If the user wants all emails to remain on the server, ensure the account is configured as IMAP, not POP.

Since all the folders are visible but only a few emails are appearing in Inbox, Sent Items, and other folders, kindly check the following:

   Open Thunderbird >> Account Settings >> Server Settings and confirm that the account is configured as IMAP.
   Right-click the email account in Thunderbird and select Subscribe.
   Ensure that all required folders are selected/subscribed.
   Right-click the account and select Get Messages to initiate synchronization.
   Please allow some time for Thunderbird to complete the synchronization, especially if the mailbox contains a large number of emails.

• • • • • • • • • • • • even after doing the above problem exists

i have done the above but still problem is there. All the folders are appearing in Thunderbird, but most folders contain very few emails or no emails at all, whereas there are many more emails available in the webmail.

Kindly guide me in configuring Thunderbird properly so that all my emails and folders are synchronized correctly.

Regards, Sundar Ram

can you add an option into the program that when it cant read the local emails from the disk for some reason, then it would ask for my permission to re-download everything and/or add an option to close or restart the program?

there is some really annoying bug when the Pc is in the process of using all of the available Ram (for some reason) and when i open TB at the same time, everything gets really slow, and instead of actually pausing to figure out what is wrong, the ******** ********** ****** just starts to throw in even more work to download all of the emails again for some reason, not even giving any explanation why it wants to do it in the 1st place....................... (while the screen even just blanks out, just because there isnt enough Ram avail to display all of this *********** *****........)

Hey everyone

So I got a tough.

I can't log into my profiles....an unexpected error has occurred, Sometimes I get an error saying the file is in use.

I locked out all my profiles on my main computer.

Here is what happened...

Computer crashed while TB was running in the background. Upon restart TB wont start - Restart computer again - Nope Tried opening TB in safe mode - Nope No error.

So I do a clean install -- Uninstall using revo to remove ALL files Clean install and TB Opens... Install Profile - An unexpected error has prevented your changes from being saved. Install a different Profile - An unexpected error has prevented your changes from being saved. Delete all partent.lock files on all profiles.... Profiles all still - An unexpected error has prevented your changes from being saved.

Attempt to open same profile on ANOTHER computer and it opens. ONE profile however will not open on the other computer - says a file is in use

Tried uninstalling and reinstalling and once again...

An unexpected error has prevented your changes from being saved.

Lost

Thanks in advance

Thunderbird Message Filters Here are the problems (nothing corrected in newer versions-since forever) Each time the app is closed and reopened, or Shutdown and restarted one or more of the following has occurred : “Message Filters“-main page 1) “Run selected filters on:” (folder dropped or changed) 2) "Enabled" Marks are dropped “Filter Rules” page 1) “Move messages to:” Folders are dropped Help! rb

I've encountered a stange issue: By default, a quoted reply is indented to the right with a vertical line on the left side. Since some time, this vertical line disappears when composing a reply - i.e., when clicking "reply", the compose window opens where the vertical reply bar shows up on the left for a split second but then disappears, leaving just the quoted text without indentation or reply bar. Compose in HTML is on, but it shouldn't matter for the reply bar display anyway. Reply quoting is also enabled, of course.

I know the reply bar can be toggled in the config by mail.quoted_graphical and mail.quoteasblock, but both values are already set to true. Setting them to false should completely disable the reply bar, but it shows up for a split second and is "auto-removed" in the compose editor. It's also not just a display issue in the editor because a recipient doesn't see the reply bar either.

Is there anything else I can check? Most likely it can be resolved with a clean profile, but I want to save the pain of setting up everything again if possible. The issue occured over the span of multiple recent TB versions on Windows 10.

Using version 154.0, all of my incming emails are going into my spam folder and my inbox is completely empty. I have turned off the spam assassin filter and the adaptive spam filter, but the problem persists. If I move a message from the spam folder to the inbox, it goes back to the spam folder within 3 seconds. I know that this is a Thunderbird issue because I uninstalled it and used my browser to access my email from my provider (runbox.com) and my inbox functioned correctly then. After I reinstalled Thunderbird, it somehow retained all of my settings and the problem persists. Is there a way to fix this?

Hello,

While working today, I used TB normally to send and receive mail.

Today I wanted to forward one mail to a supervisor. After i click forward, the window appears. I add the receiver, and when i want to type in a text, I can't. Nothing happens. It doesn't matter what I do; it won't write anything i type. I can't even insert copied text; I can't change anything, like the forwarded text in the mail is locked.

I have an email address and I want to migrate those emails to a gmail address. The problem is that I have around 2300 emails. I'm copying about 200 emails to the gmail address. The problem is that is taking too long and it's not copying all of them.

What if I copy all of emails wait to sycronize it and then copy it again? It will work? Or is there another way to do that?
