Firefox on this Windows 10 computer stopped providing an email Send option about 2 weeks ago. I still receive all messages fine, but must use Firefox on an older windows 7 computer to send emails. What can I do? Other internet receive and send functions are still working. The problem is only with email.

Hello

i am struggling with TB as it always uses the default email of a server account.

Instead, i would like to use different accounts based on the recipients


I could not find an extension with this behavior.

For example, I would like all email exchanged (sent & received) to a domain ( @thatcompany.com ) to use a given account alias (myalias.email@proton.me)

Thanks for all assistance

Hi all,


After thoroughly searching this database, I could not locate an answer to the issue I am facing, although there seem to have been several similar cases.

My former university has recently decided to delete alumni email accounts, so I am using Thunderbird for email transferring from university to GMail (added both accounts to Thunderbird and then began copying emails and folders). Transfer is slow, depending on the server capabilities etc., but I am going folder by folder and so far it has been fine. I began the transfers a week ago.

Last night I noticed my Thunderbird inbox for my school is not showing anymore. The profile folder is only showing one file (.msf) for Inbox, instead of what should be, in my understanding, two files.

Thunderbird is still communicating well with the university email server because I made a folder rearrangement on the university webmail service (outlook.com) and it showed on Thunderbird. In addition, all my Inbox emails appear fine on the university webmail service (outlook.com).

Any ideas? This is obviously important and urgent.


Thank you in advance.

Had to change my ISP password which I did. I then removed all passwords from Thunderbird. I then downloaded the newest version (listed below) After the download I clicked on get messages - no response - did not ask for a password. My ISP pop address is properly listed. I went further and clicked on write - a box opened up asking for a password. Of course I entered my new ISP password and it showed up under saved passwords (smtp etc). I can write and send messages but not receive. I would appreciate a fix to be able to download messages - I miss my Thunderbird. Thank you - I must admit I'm not very teck savvy

I can get a couple hundred e-mails but none since 5-31-2026. I can see later e-mails in yahoo but I use thunderbird because yahoo is too cumbersome to use for just E-mails. I sometimes get a message that my account is being processed. I have had this problem before but can't remember how I got out of it. I am computer literate but I am also 91 years old. Think Biden! I need emails! I am frozen in the middle Roku install because I never got their code and they are now frozen.

I have used Apple Mail, GMail and Outlook; i am hoping that Thunderbird will achieve (relative) zero inbox.

My objective is to create an inbox that observes established rules/filters and directs my emails into the appropriate folders. I was hoping that Thunderbird would achieve this objectives but I have so far been unsuccessful.

I would be happy to screenshare with an appropriate technician in order to resolve this issue as its becoming increasingly frustrating.

I am setting up a new installation of KDE6 on PClinuxOS and have hit a problem with copying over my Thunderbird profile from my old KDE5 installation.

I keep the profiles for Firefox and Thunderbird on a separate data partition and access them from my home folder with symbolic links.

I then just copy the whole thing over to another computer's data file linked in the same way. This has always worked in the past and Firefox copied over OK, but there's a small problem with Thunderbird, everything is there but the inbox. I get the message:-

  " Unable to open the summary file for inbox on MUN. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long."

(MUN is the name of the mail server)

I've recopied several times but the problem persists. I'm not sure what file it's referring to, there is nothing by that name that I can find.

The outbox is OK I've just sent myself a message.
