Thunderbird Forum podrške

I am all of a sudden not receiving emails from group lists I previously have been a part of and my email is in the distribution list. This just started to happen.

Any suggestions? Not very technical here...

I've been using Thunderbird for a long time. I use a Win 10 machine with the latest version of Thunderbird. There are 5 email accounts attached to Thunderbird. When writing email I am suddenly unable to use numbering, bullets, or indents on 3 of the 5 accounts. After throwing up my hands in desperation I uninstalled Thunderbird (after saving the Profile folder), downloaded the latest version and reinstalled it. Same problem.

I posted about this about a week ago and the consensus seemed to be that this could not happen. But it is. I would really appreciate some help on this.

Thanks

I have a profile containing three email accounts. It's huuuuge, but I was able to transfer it over to a second computer last year. I'd now like to update specific mailboxes on that second computer but don't want to have to recopy the profile.

Is there a way to update/backup/copy a specific mailbox for transfer to a second computer without having to use the profile?

Also, I'd like to be able to backup one of the three email accounts specifically. Is there a way to do this without using the profile? Thank you for any help.

Hi,

  I am currently using Thunderbird 91.11.0 and I am having problems sending mail through one of my Gmail accounts.
  The account has been working for a long time using Thunderbird, and I am not sure exactly which version I was using when the problem started since I always update the version, and I only send mail on this account once in a while.
  I have 2 mail accounts on Gmail, and they are both set up in Thunderbird. I only have the sending problem with one of them. Everytime I tried to send using the problem account, I got "Login to server smtp.gmail.com with user name tak.ac.for.android@gmail.com failed." I "Enter New Password" and the same message appears.
  I have no problem with my other Gmail account sending or receiving. I checked the server setting and they are the same (except for the user name). I can receive mail no problem. I can use the browser version of Gmail and send/receive mail no problem. I did not receive any alert messages from Gmail saying they blocked sign-in attempts.
  Any suggestions on how to resolve the problem? Any more info you want me to collect to help pin-point the problem?
  I searched around and didn't find any similar problems.
  Thanks a lot.

Regards,

  Tak

I'm new to PC's. I have very basic knowledge of how to use an i-pad. A month ago I got myself a new MacBook. I installed Thunderbird, no problems. My old mail showed up, new mail came in. I installed GNupg.

Following FSF's excellent tutorial I set up Thunderbird with encryption, all good. Now I'm at the point where I 'should try it out' by sending 'Edward' my public key. This worked as I immediately got an encrypted e-mail from 'Edward' in my Apple inbox. However, on Thunderbird I was left hanging with a constantly spinning disc which I presumed meant Thunderbird was trying to retrieve said e-mail. This did not resolve.

After clicking here and there on Thunderbird's interface, I ended up at the account set up screen being prompted for my e-mail address and password. Three weeks had passed and I couldn't remember my password, nor find a note of it. I only have access to account set up and homepage. On homepage I looked through the 'hamburger' menu but I can't find anything that helps. So, I'm locked out of Thunderbird mail.

Any help would be appreciated on both how to resolve the password issue, and what might have gone wrong in retrieving 'Edwards' mail.

Many thanks, Darren.

No response to previous, so trying again with 2 questions: 1. Having lost addresses and calendar because of having to download fresh program, are addresses and calendar still somewhere in the computer to be retrieved?? 2. To guard against it happening again, can ads & cal be stored remotely for re-importing??

Running 91.9.1, W10. At about noon today I stopped receiving all emails from multiple providers. I have done no updates. Selecting any account results in the looping timer. The mail is available at gmail and aol as well as on my iphone. I've restarted Thunderbird to no avail. All network settings look good. I am running windows defender. As stated I have changed nothing on the PC.

I just noticed TB now has 5 address books & this is what I want to do: My email addresses are all mixed up so:

1] I would like down load all address books to 1 CSV file to sort & eliminate any email addresses that are NOT MY PERSONAL ADDRESSES.

2] Then I want to import MY PERSONAL ADDRESSES back to TB to 1 PERSONAL ADDRESS book, While eliminating [DELETING] all other PHONE BOOKS as I don't need them. I will do my own adding of emails myself, it's that simple.

some messages are displaying as garbled test, I tried all the different html settings in the body display no differences in any of the displays. Messages on wedsite are correct. No updates that I am aware off have occurred. I have rebooted computer and Thunderbird to no effect

I cannot sent email to one specific recipient. I have two accounts, one through gmail and one through AT&T. When I try and sent an email to this one recipient from either account, the File/Send Now function is grayed out. Ctrl-Enter does not work either. This is the only recipient I cannot send mail to. I've sent test email to several other recipients with no problem. Obviously, I'm not getting any kind of 'email blocked' type of message, since nothing is being sent out.

My Thunderbird version is 91.9.0 (32-bit)

Any ideas why this is happening?

TIA for any help.

I have forgotten how to print individual addresses from my Thunderbird address books! I know I've done it in the long-ago past--perhaps 10 years ago--with no problems, but I can't figure out how to do it now. Help--and thank you!

I don't know the correct terminology to describe my question. Extensive searching with various wording in several places gives answers to other questions. I have the same Thunderbird Mail account on two Linux computers. I can read and write messages from different email accounts on both devices and other mail clients with no problem. Changes made in one place are reflected everywhere else I have the same account. What I want to know is if I can have a new account added to Tbird on one computer automatically added to the other one. When I upgraded the OS on my desktop computer and installed Thunderbird, and signed in with my profile details, the left pane was empty. In order to start using it, I had to manually add each email account as if for the first time. I had thought that the information in the Tbird app on my laptop (same profile) would sync with the other computer, but it seems that's not what synchronize means. I've added a Blogs and Feeds folder to each of the computers, but when I add a new RSS Feed, it's only found on the computer I was using when I added it. Searching seems to suggest there is a way to do this with some complicated third-party mediation, but I use Thunderbird because it's simple to open any message right at my fingertips. Isn't there some way I can copy everything in my Thunderbird account from one computer to the other with just a few clicks?

Hello. I have transferred all my thunderbird emails to the new laptop I purchased for when we go away.. I am using my desktop daily and the lap top maybe once a month.. How can I set the lap top to stop all my emails while I am at home using my desk top. At the moment all my emails are downloading to both desktop and laptop and each week I have to open the lap top and delete all the emails that are there but I have already read and deleted on my desk top .. Hope you can help me set the lap top not to receive emails unless I turn the setting on when I go away.. Thanks Noel

Until recently, my AOL, Netscape and Yahoo accounts in TB all displayed all emails in my inbox, some 40,000+ for each account. Then suddenly, first my AOL account, then the Netscape account and now the Yahoo accounts are all limited to 10,000 emails in the inbox on TB. They all still reside on the web based programs, AOL, Netscape (AOL), and Yahoo. Years of emails just vanished. I tried deleting and re loading my AOL account hoping to repopulate it with the web based emails in the inbox but it came back with the most recent 10,000. I used the inbox like a search engine for subjects, attachments and correspondents in the past and that is all but impossible on the web based programs. Is there any way to return to the all inclusive storage of emails, especially to repopulate from the web based programs?

I am having difficult connecting to mailboxes in Plesk Obsidian on a VPS. I can set up the mailboxes in Plesk and make a note of the password. I then go into TB and start the 'Add Mail Account' process. All goes well at first. I get a green message saying 'Configuration found by trying common server names' (automatic connection). When I click 'Done' TB whirrs for a bit and then comes back with a green message showing a tick and 'Checking Password' but an orange message saying 'Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password'. If I try manual configuration I get a similar sequence (using ports 995 and 465, SSL/TLS and 'Normal password').

I do not have this problem when working with cPanel (on a different server, but very similar mailboxes and security settings). This suggests to me that there's something amiss in my Plesk settings, but what could it be?

I have searched around without success. Most articles that might help are for TB 31 (even the Plesk Obsidian on-line manual). Any suggestions, please?
