Thunderbird Community Forum

Emails that arrive while my PC is shut down do not appear even after I start the PC and launch the app. There are no error messages. The server is configured to use POP.

I installed Thunderbird on a new computer running Windows 11. I use Thunderbird for 14 email accounts. I have set the folder view to "Unified Folders." In the Inbox, emails from different accounts appear twice—sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. These emails are not duplicates; in the folders for each individual account, the emails are all displayed only once. I don't have this problem on my old computer—same Windows, same Thunderbird, looks exactly the same. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Mein Betriebsystem WIN 11 Free-E-Mail bei Telekom Eingegange E-Mails werden auf dem Server von T-Online nicht gespeichert und auf meinem Thunderbird nicht im Ordner Posteingang sondern im Papierkorb vom Lokalen Ordner nicht im Posteingangs. Auf dem Handy werden Sie angezeigt und können gelesen und Bearbeitet werden. Beim nächsten öffnen der E-Mail App werdenSie gelöscht.

Welche mögliche Ursachen gibt es dafür.

Thunderbird somehow only syncs some events on some weekdays from one of my calendars. One event of two on tuesdays shows up, all events on mondays don't show up. These are similar events each week. It seems to be syncing all events from a different calendar on the same account from the same server.

Hi, The goal is download attachments from a RSS feed. I set a specific folder so i don't have to select path for every single file. Then clicking on the file link and it should start to download but it is very unreliable especially when used on many files in sequence it silently fails. Related big problem is absence on any useful file transfer indicator like Firefox has. There is a "download manager" tab but it is completely useless. It does not show any progress and the view has no scroll bar so nothing useful can actually be seen there. Downloading using "save as" button works. So you should either fix the direct link download or disable the feature completely until it does work, to avid missing files, because that is the worst outcome.

hi all. if i create a new blank Task it automatically pre-selects today's date as the start date, and if i create a Task from an email it sets the date the email was received as the start date. i know can filter tasks lists, and hide columns, but the real issue is how it looks on the calendar; with the fixed start date, setting a due date in a month's time results in a fixed, ongoing task for a month. is there any plugin or setting that will just stop TB setting a start date that i can't change, or letting me explicitly set it myself?

thunderbird is not sending or receiving email to a particular legitimate email address; never had this problem in the past--it's just one particular email--please stop blocking it; @inreach. garmin.com

I like to sort my mail using the menu functions

Message-MoveTo-RecentDestinations

Unfortunately, for some time now, the "Recent Destinations" list remains very small and most folders, regardless of how recently I moved messages to them, do not show up on the list.

I have tried quitting TB, deleting folderCache.json, but that makes no difference. The list stays the same, and it does not get updated for most folders.

Maybe that approach is no longer a panacea :-) and there is some other way to fix this?

When checking for new email a pop asking for the username and password of the for the email server. Also when a separate email client is downloaded. This only happens when. using a mac book pro. No problem when. using Ubuntu.

Hi. Since the Thunderbird update in March/2026, my Bell sympatico.ca email is no longer able to send emails out through Thunderbird. No error messages but emails never get to destination (I tried sending to myself on both gmail and sympatico accounts). I receive emails without issue. I tested the sympatico from the web or my iPhone and it works. Seems something changed in T-bird back in March?

I validated the Outgoing SMTP server settings and all seems OK (See attached file for screenshot of settings). Any idea why and what changed to cause this?

Tx, Robert Ziwani

I've been trying to connect for over an hour and I always get the answer; " Connection to the server impossible. The configuration, username or password are probably incorrect. My access provider is “Orange” and I made the mistake of accepting “Unlimited Emails”, I have 650,000… I work on a MacBook Pro Apple M1 Pro 26.3.1 (a) and the Mail app is very saturated and Tchat Gpt advised me to use your “Thunderbird” app I changed my Orange access password about 4 hours ago. Please guide me towards making your application work properly.

When I try to install my account Office 365 for my association's account (XXXX@patapon95.fr) it doesn't word with Thunderbird (I can connect on Outlook on the same account). I can also connect with my personnal acount on xxxx@outlook.fr on Thunderbird.

突然、どこにもメールの送信ができなくなってしまいました。 受信はできます。 KDDIを使っていますが、問い合わせしましたが、サーバーに問題ありません。 Webメールでは送信できます。 Thunderbird側の問題のようです。 添付のようなメッセージが表示されエラーになってしまいます。 解決策を教えてください。

Suddenly, I can no longer send emails anywhere. I can still receive emails. I use KDDI, and I contacted them, but they said there are no issues with their servers. I can send emails using webmail. It seems to be an issue with Thunderbird. The message shown in the attachment appears, and I get an error. Please let me know how to fix this.
