Hi.,

 Cox cable just discontinued their email server and moved all it's email accounts to Yahoo.

I had been using Thunderbird successfully with Cox for several months before this happened.

 I am able to send and receive emails now via my new online Yahoo server;  however I have not

been able to connect / use Thunderbird to send and receive emails since the Yahoo changeover. I have tried many things, but I either get a "failed" error message or a "timed out" error message. Yahoo support has not been able to figure this one out. They are hard to get a hold of and hard to understand (communicate with). They are overseas from the US.

 I appreciate any help you can offer.

Kind regards, Ken

Changing settings documentation is confusing for non-developer types. Instructions are cumbersome and unclear.

I may be missing something, but how can I remove threading completely from Thunderbird or how can I download an older version. I"ve searched for 102.15, but cannot find a way to download it. I really prefer NOT to use another email client. I've always used Thunderbird, but I cannot tolerate this threading thing and I can't seem to disable it.

Can you please let me know why the coloring of my text which was so simple in the earlier versions is no longer possible.

In such situations can you allow me to use an older version till you fix these bugs?

This is very frustrating and will be grateful if you can help.

I have been a donor and really want to see Thunderbird succeed.

Global email search does not find anything unless search string is modified only in certain ways

Hello,

This is my very first post to a support community so please excuse me for any rookie mistakes and oversights.

T.B. 115.8.0 (64-bit) Windows 10 - IMAP settings with multiple domains and multiple accounts on each.

Problem/Issue: Most searches return the expected results, but in certain cases, and seems to affect mostly the sub directories in Local Folder (have not been able to replicate problems in strings found elsewhere).

Things I have already done: - Rebooted PC - Compacted the folder where the email resides - Repaired such folder - Confirmed that Global search is clicked for such folder - Opened the email to confirm that it does open and is valid (Remember that it's in Local folders so already downloaded)

E.g. Global search string "Re: New Project 25-301-623 needed into Swahili - word count 321" (which does exists in Local Folders) does not produce any results but (Deleted first character of the string) "e: New Project 25-301-623 needed into Swahili - word count 321" produced results for "New Project 25-301-623 needed into Swahili - word count 321" without the results for "Re:...". Additionally, no filters are displayed such as Location, People, etc. (Running the same search within the folder where it resides works fine.) Cutting down the string to only "Re: New Project 25-301-623" still does not find any results. Global search for string "Payable Summary for: August 2022", which resides in the same folder tested is found but no filter data available for Location, People, etc. However a search for "Project delivery for Job: 25-258-813" again residing in the same folder is found with Location, Account and People. I've tested same approach and tests on different folders to rule out Folder specific problems and behavior is the same problem.

Another example that might help in figuring things out. I tested a string of an email subject from an amazon order, which are long in nature do to # dashes, long numbers, etc. Performed a global search and the email was found but no Filters shown. Did the same search removing the end of the string "has shipped" and the email was found once again but with all Filters showing.

I hope I have been thorough enough. If any additional information is needed please let me know.

Thanks to all.

Hello, I have been using Thunderbird with the Manually Sort Folders app for years. The ability to place folders and subfolders where I need them is essential for what I do. With the latest Thunderbird "upgrade", it was downgraded as the Manually Sort Folders app is no longer useable. Until Mozilla fixes it to where either the app can be used or Thunderbird is improved so that it will let me sort folders itself, I cannot upgrade. Please either render the Manually Sort Folders app useable again or make Thunderbird so that folder can be sorted. Thank you.

""Description: COX Server Name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com Port: 465 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2 User Name: your user name, duh - Mine keeps changing the user name to the last name I put into any of my 6 accounts. The only way it will send mail is if the correct user name is in the correct account (obviously). Why is it changing constantly? click OK""

I've read the "fixes" from 2023 and they do not work for me. I tried changing the DESCRIPTION to blank, didn't work. Changed them to the corresponding e-mail for the account. Didn't work. Changed it to "SMTP" with the corresponding e-mail. Didn't work.

It keeps changing the last one I edit to the one I edited before it. It's driving me crazy. Won't send mail unless the User Name is correct (obv.)

Whole mess started when forced to switch from Cox to Yahoo recently. Seems to be working other than TB changing the name as soon as I type in the next one in the next email address and then it not working until I change the User Name back to the proper e-mail address of the 6 accounts.

Everything I have is in Seamonkey Mail (2.53.18.1) and I am trying to get them out. all I want is all my mail folders, don't care about the rest of the settings, all contacts are in my gmail , it's just all the mail folders

You cannot see from the screen shot but clicking the button does totally nothing, all the seamonkey folders are name & name.msf

I sent an email with multiple BCCs and no CCs or TOs, I put myself as one of the BCCs.

I did not receive it and I do not think anybody else did as well since I asked a few people.

The email is in the sent folder. I tried forwarding the email from my sent folder to myself as CC, and that worked. I also tried fowarding as BCC, and that worked.

So what is going on? Is BCC working? How can I know for certain? Do I need to foward the email as BCCs to all my BCCs to get this to work?

Thanks for your help.
