I am shifting over to TB from Windows Live Mail. I have installed TB Ver 115.16.2 on 7 computers successfully (Win 7, 10 and 11) over the past year. But on one Win 7 computer TB will not save the password. Usually TB asks for the Password during set-up. But here it asked for it in a pop-up box. Yes, I entered the correct password. Yes, I said "save with Password manager." But here it keeps asking for it, over and over. At one point TB connected to the POP download server, just long enough to download all the incoming emails, but then quit connecting. It won't connect to the SMTP server. The port numbers for POP and SMTP are correct and the security settings are correct. I've done a lot of web searching. Most sites say that profile files logins.json and key4.db may be corrupted. I disabled them (by renaming) and copied those two files from another computer on which the same Thunderbird version works properly on the same mail server. Same thing - TB still keeps asking for the POP server password. I just deleted TB (uninstalled, and deleted all the appdata directories, and verified there were no lingering registry keys using a list shown on Spiceworks). I'll next reinstall, but don't have much confidence that it will work. Thanks.

Ich benutze Firefox auf zwei Windows 11 Rechnern. Die Version ist auf beiden Rechnern gleich, (149.9 esr 32Bit ) , beide Rechner greifen im Fall des Verfassens einer E-Mails mit Anhängen auf einen gemeinsamen Speicher über LAN zu, seit kurzem gibt es bei einem der beiden Rechner aber beim Anhängen einer Datei an die Mail eine Verzögerung von ca. 5 Sekunden, bevor der Anhang auftaucht, unabhängig von dessen Größe. ( Also auch kleine Pdf´s werden verzögert angezeigt.) Der zweite Rechner hat das Problem nicht, selbst bei grösseren Anhängen. ( Auch sind die Rechner fast bau-und ausstattungsgleich ) Testprogramme auf dem Problem-PC zeigen keine Auffälligkeiten beim Schreiben und Lesen, auch die Internet-Verbindung ist die gleiche... Habe bereits die Einstellungen der Konten und des Programms in beiden Rechnern verglichen, sie sind gleich. Hat jemand eine Idee, woran das liegen kann?

Can not send emails through RoadRunner Mozilla Thunderbird. Can receive. Can send in Spectrum.net, so email account is working properly. Can send and receive with android phone, just not Mozilla. Can not check for latest updates.

I have had my main email account with Earlink.net since 1997.

It's functuionality is OK, but falling behind with the years, and now not at par with major email accounts. Furthermore, they keep raining tehmonthly price!

I'm using your Thunderbird as a backup only.

So, I want to get another/new account, at a better, more modern provider, and hopefully at a lower price.

But, once I do that, I need all my emails (organized in folders) accumulated for years to be brought to my new account AND future emails received at my old Earthlink account to be forwarded to my new account.

Please advise!

Thanks!

Please help! I have not received emails on thunderbird for a week. I have had to go through my web browser. I received messages that thunderbird is temporarily unavailable. What is the problem? How can I resolve this issue? Thank you very much!!

We have been using the Brother MFC-J6940DW iPrint&Scan Attach to email successfully with Thunderbird. It creates a new email and attaches the scanned item to it. Recently it stopped working. Nothing happens and there is no error message. We have run all Windows updates. We have uninstalled and reinstalled the Brother drivers, uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, downgraded Thunderbird to v 143 and 140 from current 144 version. We have confirmed Thunderbird is default mail app and verified in registry that Mozilla Thunderbird is default in HKEY_CURRENT_USER|Software\Clients\mail > (Default) value = Mozilla Thunderbird and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEISOFTWARE\Clients\Mail > (Default) Value = Mozilla Thunderbird. We have made sure the Firewall talks nice to the Brother Utilities and the ports are ok for Public and Private. Brother tech support says as long as we can do a normal scan that it must be Thunderbird or Windows. Does anyone have any thoughts or other troubleshooting ideas? Thanks in advance. -- Sue

I cannot set up my icloud email in Thunderbird.

Error implies that the password is incorrect but i know it's correct, i am able to sign in to webmail using it just to prove a point.

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

I have verified server info on apple support and verified username and password is what i use on all other devices. Username and password also works on MS outlook.

Dear Support Team,

I am writing to report an issue I am experiencing with Thunderbird. Every time I use Thunderbird, an attached error message keeps appearing. This problem is delaying my work and affecting my daily tasks.

I kindly request your assistance in checking and resolving this issue as soon as possible. Please let me know if you need any additional information or screenshots of the error message.

Your prompt support would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Verwalte über Thunderbird mehrere Mailadressen, jedoch läßt sich keine dieser Mailadressen öffnen. Es kommt ständig die Mitteilunbg , 'Keine Nachricht gefunden' . Bei Neustart kommt die Mitteilung Thunderbird wird bereits ausgeführt, und dann erneute 'Keine Nachricht gefunden ' ... !???

Von der Erstinstallation war ich gewohnt, dass von oben nach unten die Darstellung der Ordner wie folgt war: Posteingang / Entwurf / Gesendet / Archiv / Spam / Papierkorb / Local Folders /Postausgang / Unbekannt Nach der neuen Installation, die erforderlich war (Rechnerneuinstallation) ergab sich folgendes Bild von oben... Lokale Ordner / Papierkorb / Local Folders und dann alle meine selbst erstellten Ordner am Ende dieser Aufstellung kam die Zeile mit meiner web-Adresse xxxx.xx@web.de dann Posteingang usw. siehe oben aufgeführt Damit liegt der Posteingang am Ende meiner Ordner Auflistung und das ist über den unteren Monitorausschnitt hinaus, diese Situation ist für mich untragbar und deshalb werde ich wohl auf ein anderes e-mail Verwaltungsmedium umsteigen müssen. Eine Kopiermöglichkeit um die Ersteinstellung zu erreichen war kläglich gescheitert und jetzt ist das Durcheinander noch größer beste Grüße B. Bein
