After updating to 153.0.1esr(aarch64). the SEND button has disappeared. There's no way to send an email. (I can receive emails.) I am a Mac mini M2 Pro. OS 26.4.1

I cannot find a link to download a previous release of Thuderbird, which was working fine until this update.

Hello,

Every now and then Thunderbird pops up the notification in the screenshot. Can anyone tell me what it means and if I should do anything about it?

Alan.

My account setting correctly are set to store send mail in send of the account. Now: - Shoud be: a send mail goes always there - Is A send mail goes sometimes to the local send folder

Pleas, tel me how to corect that.

Kind Regards, Ruud

when I try and add my microsoft outlook account, it redirects to a webpage, which after saying yes a few times with an already signed in session, redirects to localhost 44645. localhost 44645 notably does not seemingly direct to anything, and thunderbird does not change. clicking "continue" re opens the microsoft webpage How should i connect my outlook account? system details; ``` OS: Linux Mint 22.3 x86_64 Host: ThinkPad L14 Gen 2a Kernel: 6.14.0-37-generic Uptime: 7 hours, 40 mins Packages: 2177 (dpkg) Shell: bash 5.2.21 Resolution: 1920x1080 DE: Cinnamon 6.6.4 WM: Mutter (Muffin) WM Theme: Mint-Y-Dark-Aqua (Mint-Y) Theme: Mint-Y-Aqua [GTK2/3] Icons: Mint-Y-Sand [GTK2/3] Terminal: gnome-terminal CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 5850U with Radeon Graphics (16) @ 4.508GHz GPU: AMD ATI Radeon Vega Series / Radeon Vega Mobile Series Memory: 14803MiB ```

I had this issue some while back, then an update resolved it. Seems another update has brought it back.

Having just updated, still on ESR, I find that I now have 2 folders named "Spam", but in fact looking at the folder properties 1 is actually still "Junk".

The images explain it well.

As in the past, I'm unable to correctly rename the second Spam folder back to Junk.

It has to be the update that caused it (as previously).

When can I expect another update to resolve it?

Why is Thunderbird consatntly coming up with "Authentification failure while trying to connect to server outlook.office365.com"? It never used to and would download my hotmail emails perfectly until about a month ago. This is very frustrating, I have removed my hotmail account from thunderbird and re installed it, works for ocassionally the back to same old message authentification failure. What is going on with thunderbird?153.02

I need a filter on a message to FULLY FINISH before a next message starts to be filtered. The "help" (quotes because it's an abyssal crap) says that simply ending the filter with Stop Filter Execution does it - but that's simply NOT TRUE: calling a console program in the filter, I can see five DOS boxes opening at the same time with five messages matching, i.e. the filters on the next message DID NOT wait! So... what can I do??

All of the above is because I'm getting "Too many simultaneous connections on the server". I'd like to limit the concurrency, but it only seems to be possible in IMAP, while this connection is a POP. Why only IMAP??!

The issue has been "An error occurred connecting to mail.mediacombb.net:993." on the server page, where you can "test connection to server" in Account > Server Settings > Security Settings. I get the same error message for each four different accounts. I have no problems with the other two different accounts not associated with Mediacom (MC). I contacted MC and they said my settings were correct and to contact TB. I have read several posts with no real solutions except that was resolved through an update. I plan to switch to a different Linux distro later. I am currently using Big Linux Manjaro with the latest update. Note that I had no problems with TB until last month. I do not do the uninstall/reinstall apps unless it will resolve my issues as a last resort. Second, sometimes I receive MC e-mails and did not run the "test connection to server," then until today while troubleshooting for several hours. I was trying to send out an e-mail, which I had no problems last week. I already went to Account > Server Settings > Advanced and changed the "Maximum number of server connections to cache" from 5 down to 1 with no luck.

  The e-mail server settings are:

imap.mediacombb.net 993 SSL/TLS Normal Password and smtp.mediacombb.net 587 STARTTLS Normal Password They have not been changed since I switched from windows 10 to Zorin 18 to currently Big Linux Manjaro. I attempted to locate a method to check if the server settings were correct via Terminal. M$ Outlook has a test page that you can send to yourself or another e-mail account. Last, MC tech informed me that M$ Outlook is more friendly than TB. I know that I have used M$ Outlook for years and rarely had any connection issues unlike TB. Unlike Evolution, which was my first after M$ Outlook, TB is much better and easier than Evolution. Thank you in advance for your time and advice.

Hello - new forum user with some previous familiarity with Thunderbird. I'm looking for advice on mail import from Outlook (M365) on Mac OS. I will only be using TBird for accessing historical mails in future rather than as the main mail app going forward.

I have installed Thunderbird and looked at the Import Tool but it doesn't list Outlook as an option. I've looked through the Import Tool support pages and I can see Outlook is an import option but it only seems to appear when I filter the web page based on Windows 11 rather than Mac OS.

Am I able to use the Import Tool on Mac OS with Outlook?

I'm using Mac OS Monterey 12.7.6 and have Thunderbird 153.0.1 and Outlook for Mac 16.89 (M365) installed.

If the Import Tool isn't available, is the next best option to drag individual folders from Outlook to the Mac desktop to create MBOX folders and then drag those into Thunderbird?

Thank you in advance.

Environment:

• Thunderbird 153.0.2 (aarch64)
• MacBook Air, M4, Tahoe 26.5.1

When I try to create or rename an Inbox subfolder in Thunderbird it all seems’’ to work (no error message), but after pressing “Rename” or Create” nothing happens.

Thought I found a workaround: Created a “Temporary” subfolder in “Local Folders” and “moved it" to the Inbox. And it showed up there. (But it was still in the “Local Folders”!). Tried moving a (Spam) email into the Temporary folder under the Local Folders, that worked. Tried moving a (Spam) email into the Temporary folder under the Inbox—it just disappeared! It was no longer in the Spam folder, but did not end up in (either) Temporary folder.

All was well until about six months ago. When I try to connect to my provider TB won't connect. BUT. At other times it will connect then every few minutes will try to connect again - then again .... I get this message "Connection to the server mail.comcast.net timed out". Then I get this message each time it fails "Login to server mail.comcast.net with username 170834000 failed". It keeps asking me to input my password even though everything is working appropriately. Then at other times it says it doesn't connect but it has connected and it still continues to ask me for a password.

I have uninstalled TB and reinstalled it thinking that would fix it - it didn't. I have changed my password - again to no avail. I let TB choose where to put things and configure each item appropriately. I don't try to get in the way of what works.

Comcast is apparently getting out of the email business and asking everyone to move over to their chosen substitute (Yahoo.mail) and I have not chosen to migrate at this point. Maybe that's the problem. This is the message I get each time I log into Comcast.net:

"A better email experience is now available for you

You're invited to upgrade your email account to Yahoo Mail, so you can enjoy a more user-friendly experience. Your email address, messages, folders, and contacts will not change.

With Yahoo Mail, you'll enjoy enhanced security, a built-in calendar that's easy to use, AI-powered inbox organization, and a top-rated mobile app for easy access on the go."

I am not aware of any changes in the settings from before when it was working well and now when it seems to be erratic.

I am not terribly computer savvy, but I'm usually able to trouble shoot and fix the issues that confront me. This time I'm out of my league! I need help.

Thank you for helping me.

My name is Barrie Johnson. I have been a Mozilla Thunderbird user for my e-mail services for many years. In the past couple of days I have been getting messages from Google telling me that my e-mail provider - i.e. Mozilla Thunderbird - will not allow Google to access it, with the result that I cannot get to a current version of my Inbox and there is no trace of my calendar details. Can you please help me?

I'm trying to resolve password issues. I fear that I might lose access in T-bird as I have through my browser.

T-Bird presently works to receive e-mail at two addresses: [redacted]@pacbell.net and at [redacted]@pacbell.net. It won't let me send email from [redacted]@pacbell.net.

None of my "they did work in the past" passwords allow me to log in with yahoo or AT&T

I want to use the same p- words with t-bird and yahoo and AT&T

How can i get new messages in a thread to move the thread to the top? (I have descending order selected) I miss new incoming replies when they sorted weeks or months ago by the original email date.

I have 5 emails setup on Thunderbird. I can receive emails for all 5 accounts. However, I can't send email on any of the accounts. I went through some of the old threads and tried to adjust the outgoing server, but I haven't been successful. Typically, I get a message like attached.

For some time, I've occasionally noticed a bug in Thunderbird where a task's description text is different depending on how its viewed. When a task is viewed in the lower pane or by double clicking it, the Description box contains old data. However, if the same task is hovered over with the cursor in the tasks list, the tooltip popup shows the current, up-to-date description data. If I cause the task to update server-side on my Nextcloud DAV server, then Thunderbird picks the update up correctly and all sources show the same data.

I'm not sure how to trigger this bug. Can anyone provide additional info?

“A fake login page at auth.tb.pro appeared while adding an Outlook account in Thunderbird. It is NOT a Thunderbird or Microsoft domain. Do NOT enter your password.”

Is this a known scammer - have others been caught by it.

I hope I avoided trouble by not responding and following the instructions I was able to get from Microsoft CoPilot to locate and remove the the dangerous cookies from my PC.

My screenshot shows the cookies that were there.
