Thunderbird Форум

Hi Windows 10 64bits - Thunderbird 115.11.1 (but same happens with Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon). It is the 1st time I ask in this forum, so I hope I respect the rules... "Sometimes", in my e-mail "imapmail" sub-folders, "some" files with an added "-1" appear ("draft-1", "sent-1" , ...). They are always newer (modification date) than the file without the "-1". What are they ? Why create a "-1" that consumes space, and not over-write the existing files ? Is there a parameter somewhere in TB to avoid this behaviour (I closed TB, deleted them, but they "sometimes" reappear when I reopen TB ) ? Thanks in advance

installed Ubuntu 2404 on my acer laptop along with Thunderbird, added gmail email to Thunderbird and it fails to connect to google for their security check.

popup when trying to login to google to let Thunderbird access gmail.

400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

I think the linux Thunderbird is broken.

I have been through this google process with Thunderbird 3 times windows 10 and 11 and once on an android phone with no problems

Dear Support,

suddenly my INBOX file has a size of 480GB - the mails in all my IMAP folders online is less than 4GB.

How can that happen?

Is there a fix or should I just re-create the account?

Best wishes, Johannes

TIA , Time to Migrate TB Portable to new computer : I was advised that all need to do is Copy this Folder C:\ThunderbirdPortable to new computer . But that doesn't bring over all my email accounts . Pls , what else do I need to do ? Thanks...

Norton 360 updated last night and now Thunderbird isn't working.

I tried logging in to Thunderbird but it kept saying my certificate was wrong and refusing to check my emails. I tried to click "add exception" but it didn't help.

It also kept saying its own homepage was a security risk and blocking it.

I figured it was Nortons new update, but have no idea how to fix it. I turned off Nortons Email Protection, which didn't help. So I uninstalled Thunderbird and reinstalled it.

But now its saying it cannot login to the outlook server when I try to add an email account. I know the information is correct, all I can guess is that Norton is blocking it somehow?

Any idea on how I can fix this?

Hi all. I had a hard drive failure and managed to mostly clone the old drive to a shiny new one. There were errors logged during the clone and TB appears to be a victim of those errors.

Win 11 x64.

When I launch TB I get the icon on the taskbar but no main screen. If I hover over the icon I see a small box with the TB logo top left where you’d expect it, and Home next to it. Clicking it has no effect. TB appears to be functioning because new emails are being filtered according to the Rules, as witnessed on my phone.

I tried reinstalling 115.11.1 with no change. So obviously somethings fubar with my profile. What is the best way to proceed? Obviously I’d like to avoid having to set up all my email accounts plus the associated rules etc if it’s possible. I use IMAP if it’s relevant.

Thanks in advance, Tony

I want to move a lot of gmails to the Bin but keep them in local folders. An answer to someone else's problem said to be sure the local folder contains a true copy and not just a link, by checking that I could read it, but how do I do that for several thousand emails? Maybe they are all true copies in at least in one local folder? I need to remove a large chunk of 25000 gmails in All Mail to free up space on my hard disk. I was having problems with Global Search and followed instructions to re-index everything. Apart from taking several hours to index All Mail, I subsequently found that I could no longer get 2GB free space by using Disk Cleanup, the best I could get was about 300MB, which is apparently too small for Thunderbird to compact All Mail, or for Dropbox to sync with my mobile phone camera photos. The All Mail file in C:\Users\Michael\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\hgwapwu4.default\ImapMail\imap.gmail.com\[Gmail].sbd is 4.5GB, and Important is 1GB

I want to Change date order (ascending/descending) of messages when there are no headings for mail including the date column. How do I do this? I recently installed latest version of Thunderbird.

Here is a very strange problem: 1. all my notifications about interac are attributed to only one person: INTERAC e-Transfer: A money transfer from X has been automatically deposited. Under correspondents I have Y, no matter what X is. 2. When I do a global search for INTERAC, all notifications show up, but attributed to Z, different from X and Y. Further, Z only sent me an interac transfer once, maybe 10 years ago. Indeed, if I global search for Z, none of the interac notifications show up. 3. this is ONLY on Thunderbird, not at the server.

Any ideas?

Good morning Windows 10, TB 115.11.0 32 bit. Multiple email accounts, some gmail, others like sfr, lol and free. All accounts use POP. All working before weekend, shut down the PC. Monday morning, opened Windows, all seems there except TB which has a screen with an Account Setup tab inviting me to set up an existing email address. Close that tab and the attached screen image appears, open tabs blank, no accounts pane on the left, no emails, no local folders. Nuffin. Restart TB and Windows, twice, still Nuffin. Look in Profiles, yes, under Mail all profiles appear to be present and the correct size. Going to gmail’s on line email system shews account open and receiving email normally. I had a problem a month ago after a TB update when all accounts were present but no emails were displayed. I changed the password to 0auth and recovered my emails. That took three days to resolve and I lost a business client through the delay in responding. Today I must file several court documents or I shall be in deep poo. Any suggestions how to recover the left hand accounts pane and see the accounts and folders will earn my undying gratitude.

My unreliable memory tells me I asked this community a question about Thunderbird. I haven't received anything that might suggest someone has replied, and I cannot remember the title I gave that post, so how do I search for it?

Just in case, my 'missing' question was (or should have been) why when I open Thunderbird does it open showing the emails that I received maybe a month ago, not the most recent ones. The most recent ones are there on the list, but I have to scroll down to get to them, which is a nuisance as I have to do it every time I go into Thunderbird

My thanks to you

I have added my gmail account to TB and it downloads all the folders and emails correctly, but as soon as I try to move an email with an attachment from a local folder to a folder on the gmail acount I get "Connection to server imap.gmail.com timed out" errors.

I've read a few historic suggestions about how to resolve this, but I haven't been comfortable with what solutions were suggested as they didn't seem to comprehensively answer the questions, I'm afraid.

Until this morning's attempts to resolve the "running out of disk space" warnings, I had two mail accounts on Thunderbird - my old Hotmail account and my new personal domain based account. Both accounts had old emails (3/4 years' worth) filed locally on my PC pending my satisfaction that the new mail account was working satisfactorily. To try and resolve the storage issue, I deleted all the locally stored emails from my Hotmail account from within Thunderbird, then deleted the Hotmail account, and restarted both my PC and Thunderbird.

The expected reduction on space occupied by the .thunderbird folder didn't materialise - at all.

How can I get back the space so I can continue working, please?

Hi Really need some help please.

Running TB latest version 115.11.0 on Win 10. Multiple gmail and other accounts, both POP and IMAP.

Following a catastrophic loss of accounts and messages, I made a fresh TB install then I restored from a previously saved profile from a month ago.

Accounts and folders with messages all now appear.

With one POP gmail account, the inbox and sent folders are stuck at last month's position. I expected the last month's messages to be downloaded as soon as I log into TB, but I'm not able to Get Messages.

My TB log in to collect gmail messages is rejected with this message - The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: [AUTH] Invalid credentials.

I have checked the account settings server address, and password is set to 0Auth2.

I have changed the gmail password on the gmail website (browser is Firefox) - which is accessed without problem, but only incoming mails are visible, my outgoing mails should be on my PC.

Every time I get the "enter new password" dialog I enter the password that gets me into gmail's on-line website - it is rejected with the STAT message.

I cannot send or receive gmail messages through TB - how can I force gmail to let TB access my emails?

I recently changed webhosts, which requires me to change the incoming and outgoing server names. When I change the name and reboot, the server name always reverts to the previous server name. How do I correct this?

I had 115.2.2 installed and all was good. I upgraded last night to 115.7 and things seemed ok but I am now on the road at Atlanta airport and I can neither send nor receive email. In the lower left corner of the display it alternately is stuck on compuserve: connected to imap.AOL.com or my other server eberger35:connected to imap.comcast.net

If I try to send a message from either my compserve/AOL, or comcast, or gmail accounts I get this error message:

The message could not be sent because the connection to outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.comcast.net timed out. Try again.

If I try to send from the compuserve or gmail accounts the message will reflect that server SMTP has failed instead.

I think everything was working at home before I left, but I'm not sure if I checked mail after I upgraded. Perhaps the problem is the Atlanta airport Wifi, but I won't be at my destination till much later today and thought I would post this now in case someone has an answer. I will be able to get the reply on my iPhone. Thank you.

Good morning. I need help with sending emails in Thunderbird. The problem has existed for a couple of days now and is confusing as some emails are sent and others fail. I am receiving mail OK. Details of my setup are :- I am using a HP All-in-one desktop running Windows 11 with Norton 360. My Thunderbird account settings: Server type: IMAP mail server User name: ****@gmail.com Server name: imap.gmail.com Port: 993 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: OAuth2 Outgoing Server (SMTP): Google Mail – smtp.gmail.com (Default) User name: ****@gmail.com Port: 465 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: OAuth2

The problem: I only recently set up Thunderbird and at first it seemed to working OK. However, now when I try to send a message, after some time, I the following error message :-

"Send Error Message Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again."

What is particularly confusing is that some messages are being sent. I have tried several fixes that I found from the Mozilla, Google and Norton web sites but none of the fixes resolved the issue. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.

Regards Mike

PS: I have 2 email accounts set up in Thunderbird. I just tried sending a test message from the Gmail account to the Bigpond account. From the Gmail account it appears to have been sent but in the Bigpond account an error message appeared as follows :-

"Could not connect to the mail server smtp.telstra.com; the connection was refused."

I don't know if this is a related issue or I have another one to resolve.

When you highlight an email and then delete it, the little check box at the far left then 'jumps' into the email either above or below the one you deleted. How can you stop that from happening? I've attached a screenshot to illustrate my problem. How do you stop the check box on a deleted email from jumping to an existing email you may not want to delete?
