Thunderbird Community Forum

my access to my email stopped 4 days ago the sign in does not accept the password for my email I can't change the password without signing in. I have made no changes to the account.

Not sure if this is the right category but I am using Linux and Thunderbird 128

I am trying to sync my icloud calendar, so have gone to add a new calendar. Chose network and put in my icloud email and password but it just keeps saying credentials aren't accepted even though they are correct.

Am I doing it correctly or is there something else I need to do?

Thank you

Hello Frinds!

Please help me find a solution to a fatal Thunderbird crash that erased the Inbox folder and its subfolder structure. All emails have disappeared, and the cause is unknown. Tried "View" but did not help. Didn't find any local program tools to restore the before-crash-state.

Here are the details:

1. The incident happened due to a random, uncontrolled cursor movement in the bottom left corner of the program window using the "drag and drop" feature. There was no clicking involved. Or maybe it was a coincidence: happened when Thunderbird was upgrading.

2. The current version of Thunderbird Portable is:128.10.0esr on Windows 10 Home.

3. As a result of auto backup creation on the day of the crash, the backup was overwritten by the corrupted original.

4. The size of the main folder has not changed, so I believe the files needed for recovery are still available.

Is it possible that this disaster is the result of a version update? So so far, Thunderbird worked seamlessly.

Looking for help. So far, I have not been able to find a solution, including with the assistance of AI. Thank you in advance.

Best, Max

Hello,

I am a super happy user of Thunderbird calendar since many years.

Now that my kids have a lot of activities I am facing an annoying display issue with the upper part of the calendar in the Week view showing all days event : it is too small to show all events at once and hence proposes a scrollbar to navigate inside it (the attached image shows it for Tuesday May 13)

To solve that, I would be super happy just to select the "horizontal line" separating the all day events pane from the one below and then drag it to increase the height of the all day events pane. Unfortunately this is not possible.

So my question is : how can I increase the height of all day events pane so that I can see all my all days events at once ?

Thank you very much for your help,

Dear team

I am facing a strange problem while replying or forwarding the email using Thunderbird. It always seeps displaying sending message box. However, the message is actually sent by the Thunderbird. When I cancel, after several trials, the message box will go. Pl help. I am having this problem since version 115 and presently I am on Version 136.0 64 bit.

Screenshot is enclosed for ready reference. I have done clean installation also but the problem remains. Pl help.

Hello, every time I want to send or accept a message Thunderbird keeps asking me to enter my password. This is very irritating, although I activated the option 'Remember password' during the set up of my mail address. Can you help me with this? Thanks.

I've setup a filter rule to auto-reply to emails while I am on holidays and this works well. However, there are some businesses who will continue to have me on a cc list or in a team distribution list.

The idea is to only send an out of office reply once. I think Outlook does that from memory.

Is there a way to do it in Thunderbird or is this currently not do-able within the Thunderbird base product or via extension/addon?

Running Version 138.0.1 64bit.

Last week my computer was upgraded from Windows 10 to Windows 11. As a result I LOST all my address books and all my received emails. I am 86 and I am involved in many community groups. Now I have NO email contact addresses and recent emails from people. I went to the local Geek Squad for help and I was told all email addresses and all received emails were truly gone. WHY?? Geek Squad person told me it was a Thunderbird support issue. Thank you, David Baur dbaur@provide.net

Hello,

I have settings set in account settings to apply signatures on replies and forwards, however it is not happening. What else can I change?

Thanks, Taylor

When I downloaded Thunderbird, all the folders from my e-mail account downloaded; but, I could not move a message from the Inbox to a folder. Today, when I opened Thunderbird, all my folders disappeared. Please advise. Thanks, Dan

I have sent pictures from my phone to two people and asked them to send them back, The email with the pictures dosent appear in my email. I can send and receive email from both people, just not the ones with the pictures.

I have a new Chromebook, having previously used a Microsoft Surface Pro. I have loaded Linux onto my Chromebook and now have installed Firefox and Thunderbird but I can't get my email account loaded onto Thunderbird. I receive a message as follows: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration" I'm sure that I have entered the correct details. I was offered the chance to scan a QR code but that option doesn't seem to be there anymore. (The Chromebook doesn't have a front camera but it will lie flat so I was going to be able to use it)

Hello,

This morning, I am unable to access any of my labels and folders. One solution I thought of was signing out and signing back in to see if it would resolve the issue. However, I am afraid that if I sign-out, will I lose my labels/folders created in Thunderbird? What would you suggest?

Receiving this error a couple times a day when using Thunderbird: "The folder 'Inbox' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again."

I can delete some emails but for the most part, everything in the Inbox cannot be deleted. I have looked at other forums but I haven't found a concrete set of steps to get this error fixed. I am not very familiar with the inner workings of Thunderbird, so more details on how exactly to get this fixed if possible would be appreciated.

So, all of a sudden my incoming emails went directly to the "Junk" folder for no apparent reason. When I go to the Junk folder to view my emails, they don't show up in the right viewing column.

And when I try to send them back to my "Inbox," they don't go there and I have no idea where they go. I can't see them anywhere. I've checked my outgoing settings and they're where they are supposed to be....as well as my incoming server settings. They are where they should be. I use Comcast, and have checked with them, and those settings are correct

So at this point I have no idea what to do, and obviously need help from someone much more knowledgeable then me! Hopefully I've explained the issue clearly, and have made it easier for those of you out there. I'm not a computer dummy....but this has be quite baffled, as it came on suddenly, and had weird characteristics.

Thanks to all,

Michael...

tb version 115.18.0 64bit accompanied with KSOS 21.21.7.384 now.

with the previous version of KSOS i had this setup for a while now and it worked fine. thing is, kaspersky auto- updated and now, when i first boot my pc and start tb it goes unresponsive (white) for 2'-3'. after that, every time, i get the message account processing...... tabs are now empty.when it rebuilds, i input my password and it starts downloading messages adding to the list. could be, say, 30' later i press the "get messages" and in return "connection XXX was reset". when i try to send its "the connection to SMTP timed out". restarting TB doesnt do a thing. restarting PC, goes around in a loop, unresponsive etc etc. exiting KSOS though, fixes the problem but temporarily. once i restart KSOS TB is working fine for some time until i get the connection reset again some time after.... anybody else having this trouble as well nowdays? any potential fixes?
