Thunderbird Community Forum

I have a Hotmail account and multiple gmail accounts. When I try following your (obscure) instructions for changing passwords, the box of passwords is only for my gmail accounts. None for my hotmail.

As Hotmail is very important to me, I'd like to keep accessing it through TB but you make it tough.

I am now not receiving my Hotmail mail and as I get too much traffic 200+ msgs a day, it will build. Please send simple, direct instructions on how to find and change the hotmail password, thank you.

My computer suddenly started the above error message for multiple programs. The local computer shop was able to sort out what appeared to be the root cause and that recovered some things but I still needed to reinstall a number of programs.

The program I am terrified of reinstalling is Thunderbird. All my emails on five email accounts since 2011 are stored in TB and I naturally do not want to lose any of them.

The major problems are the computer is running Win7 Enterprise and I am 82 years old so I am prone to needing things spelt out in greater detail than many others.

Can anyone provide a way to reset the program permissions (preferable) or identify the best way to reinstall and still access all my historic emails?

Thank you

I am using Thunderbird 115.18.0 and Windows 7 professional (no snarky comments please).

All has been working fine for years, but in the last few days, strange thing have been happening:

In the pane with all of my email accounts, the ">" icon to the left of the first account has been disappearing. This meant I could not look at any folders, including Inbox, Drafts, Sent etc and handmade folders. Cured by closing and opening Thunderbird.

I now have two Archive folders, one called Archive, the other Archives. Both empty, neither can be deleted.

Periodically, when the ">" is present, selecting it (to "V"), the list of folders SLOWLY appears, one folder at a time.

Periodically, the bottom of the Thunderbird window, shows a 'downloading' message, of hundreds of files. Several GB of data has been downloaded over a couple of days.

Opening the Inbox folder, the pane with subject, correspondents, date etc has changed the sort order.

Sometimes, all of the emails in this pane have had their font underlined.

Nothing on my system has intentionally changed,

Any ideas what has gone wrong, and how to put things right would be appreciated.

Thanks,

I have just installed Norton 360 but am not able to receive emails. I followed all the steps as outlined in the Norton help site as much as possible and Thunderbird tells me that wscert.der is installed. However it was all to no avail. When doing so I did not see the screen asking me to trust this CA to identify web sites but every other step seemed OK.

I have just upgraded to Thunderbird 102.15.1 on my laptop and have a problem with right-click menus on folder names.

The menu appears for a brief instant and then disappears. If I move the mouse cursor slightly then it is redrawn and behaves normally.

Is this a known problem, i.e. requiring a further upgrade?

Cox communications has changed their security and, when making the recommended changes, a lock appears on all mail boxes and cannot send nor receive messages. need help!

I'd like to use Thunderbird for my email but I've been unsuccessful. My domain is hosted with LiquidWeb and they haven't been able to help me. Is there someone or somewhere I could approach with this problem? Many thanks!

I recently updated my older computer from Windows XP to Windows 7 and forgot to print out my address book from Thunderbird. I did save the file on a thumb drive and when I try to open that file, my computer does not recognize the file ending .MAB and will not open it. When I tried to open it by adding Thunderbird to the Windows list, it puts the file in an email and still will not open it. Please help! Thanks in advance for your help.

I want to add email addresses from incoming emails to my addressbook. Using Thunderbird 31.6.0. Takes too long to do it one at a time. Any thoughts on how to do it?

Outlook, Groupwise and Pegasus(freeware) allows editing of received e-mails. Thunderbird had plug-in that is not working with curent version. WHY NOT make it standard feature of Thunderbird??? Please do it. If others can do it, why cannot Thunderbird not do it?

I am not getting my emails from franciscanmychart.org I think it might be a filter issue. How can I make sure I get these important emails.
