How can I change an IMAP server on an existing T-bird account after T-bird deleted the saved password and IMAP server for that account? I tried to change the IMAP server address for an existing T-bird account, but T-bird and/or my ISP deleted the saved password and IMAP server entry for that account, so T-bird cannot get incoming E-mails. I would like to add an/the IMAP server back to the account without deleting the account, adding all of its settings again, and waiting 6 hours for T-bird to re-download all of the most recent 10,000 messages in the Inbox and all of the 15,000 messages in other folders again. The SMTP server and its saved password are still in the Saved Passwords table.

now i am getting mail but my dad and my brother both said they are sending mail and it says undeliverable I tried sending to my self and it came through I have Thunderbird through Comcast. i see mail in Comcast that is coming through so i do not know why. the only thing i could think of was they tried yesterday when the update was going through i received a mail at 7.15 this evening so i have no idea why it would bounce back did nothing to change anything

This afternoon, without any warning, all my mail in every folder could not be displayed. This is the second time this has happened in the last month and a half. I have two mail accounts - one that goes through Yahoo and the other Gmail. No mail is displayed in either account.

When I run Thunderbird in troubleshooting mode, the mail does display. I then disabled the few addons that I use but that didn't make any difference. When not in troubleshooting mode, no mail is displayed.

Of course, there's "troubleshooting information" but that's way too technical for me to get anything out of it.

I've been a Thunderbird user for over 20 years and I would like to keep using it but this performance is discouraging.

What do I need to do to get past this issue? I'm assuming I'll be able to read an email response by using troubleshooting mode.

Thanks.

Hey everyone

I need to remove the line that is added when you reply to emails. It adds added steps when cutting and pasting when I quoting emails when replying.

I have multiple profiles with multiple emails in each profile.

I found a thread here dated 2016 that instructed to add this to the css file.

I didn't have en excisting css file I could fine so I created a folder. >chrome > and put a userContent.css file within that.

This is code.

blockquote[type=cite] {

  padding-bottom: 0 !important;
  padding-top: 0 !important;
  padding-left: 0 !important;
  border-left: none !important;
  border-right: none !important;

}

In TB 155.01 when I click on Delete the email leaves my Inbox but does not display in the Deleted folder. If I look at Properties in the Deleted folder it shows the correct number of messages in there but the messages themselves do not show in the right hand window. Thus there is no way of seeing what the messages are, just the total quantity in the folder.

I added a new entry in my Address Book and sent a message to that person. I next tried to use Thunderbird to read messages and it locked up. No system shutdown/restart fixed that. Reinstall ofThunderbird did not fix it either. I have many stored messages that I do not want to lose, so I have not erased all about Thunderbird. What do I try next?

I've been using TB for years and all has been working well. But now I have no idea what is going on.

When I try to download new email from my Yahoo account (using pop3) it tells me that it is downloading 1 or 25 (say) and none get downloaded.

Then I delete some emails in TB and a little while later those deleted emails get downloaded again but none of the latest emails. Even if I logiin to Yahoo and delete those emails, TB seems to manage to download them again. How?

If I delete the first email it should download sometimes the rest will download but not always. Sometimes when I update to the latest version of TB emails start downloading.

I have tried to doing a repair on the Inbox but this seems to make no difference.

I've no idea what to try. Anyone got any advice/suggestions?

Also, how do I get from the Beta version of TB to the stable version? I don't even remember choosing to use the Beta versions.

Lastly, I often get pop-up messages saying that folders cannot be compacted because something is using those folders. I've never understood why TB puts out this message. Why does it not just compact the folders when it has done whatever it is doing? Is there a way of stopping these messages and finding out what is using the folders?

Having established a new Outlook account I cannot sign into it properly with Thunderbird - I get authentication failures each time despite all settings apparently being correct, IMAP enabled in the web browser view of the outlook account and so on. Oauth2 set and all server settings good. I have been over and over things. Tried various suggestions of the web to no avail.

I have tried unsuccessfully with three separate machines - two Microsoft 11 laptops and an iMac. All fail.

I can access the account and send/receive emails from a web browser and I have got it working okay with an iPhone, an Android tablet and a Microsoft email client - but not with Thunderbird. I even get a browser popup on the iMac when I open Thunderbird asking if I am trying to sign in - I say yes and it says I am all signed in - but the email doesn't authenticate. I have passcodes all set up etc.

A separate Hotmail account does work with the same Thunderbird client and has the same server settings (apart from the username obviously).

I am at a loss how to resolve this other than move to a different email application.

Any ideas?

I run Thunderbird on MacOS for some years without a problem. Now, after a hard reboot, Thunderbird won't launch anymore. I tried reinstalling to no avail. Is there anything I could do here? Or do you need any more info? The crash report is as follows:

Thunderbird has been working well, but all of a sudden it stopped sending my emails from aol accounts. I have tried many internet solutions and nothing is working.

Aloha. I'm helping a friend with setting up a new Windows 11 PC, and cannot get Thunderbird to connect to Spectrum's servers. I spent an hour on the phone with Spectrum support and they just gave up and said it must be an issue with Thunderbird. Here are the details:

- Brand new Dell 24 All-in-One EC24250 - Windows 11 25H2 plus all additional fixes. - All Dell drivers updated. - Thunderbird V155.0 64-bit

If I click on 'Get Messages' after a while I get: "Connection to server mail.twc.com timed out". I've gone into the config editor and changed mailnews.tcptimeout from 100 to 500 and still get the error.

In the Account Settings | Server Settings | Test server connection I get: An error occurred connecting to mail.twc.com:993.

I've tried this with both setting up a brand new account in Thunderbird, and also via copying the 'Thunderbird' folder from %appdata%\roaming from her old machine.

Email configuration (from Spectrum).

IMAP Settings Server name: mail.twc.com Port: 993 user name: abcd@hawaii.rr.com Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password

SMTP settings Server Name: mail.twc.com Port 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal password

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this scenario?

I updated to 155.0.1 via the update modal yesterday, on MacOS Tahoe, and it didn't restart as normal. The main message pane was blank with "No Message Found" (screenshot attached).

I tried installing a fresh 155.0 over, that did not work; but, a restore of the prior app from my Time Machine did work -- that is, the application not the user profile data.

I just thought this was strange; never ran into it.

If there is an issue and I can help test it usefully, I happy to do so (I have backups! LOL).

Thunderbird not connecting to server. It says timds out and an error occurred connecting to mobile.charter.net. I can neither send or receive emails. This started 8/20/2026

On September 5, Thunderbird updated to 155.0 (20260828141248) (on Windows 11 10.0.26200). I use IMAP.

Since then, when I try to delete a message, I get an error: The current operation on ‘Inbox’ did not succeed. The mail server for account <email address> responded [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn’t exist: INBOX/Trash (0.001 + 0.000 secs)

But in Settings, "When I delete a message: Move it to this folder: Trash" is set. Not Inbox/Trash or INBOX.Trash, which also exist, but Trash at the same level as Inbox. I logged into webmail for this account, and there's definitely a folder for Trash. All deleted messages prior to the update are still there. If I delete a message in web mail, it is moved to the Trash folder.

The same is true of the Sent folder. In Settings, "When sending messages, automatically: Place a copy in: "Sent" Folder on: <account name>."

It looks to me like Thunderbird is doing something different from what the Settings say, and definitely something different than what it did before the update.

Suggestions?

I'm aware (e.g. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1277401) of how to toggle whether the message window stays open (opening the next message) when an email is moved or deleted. But I would dearly love for it to happen only sometimes.

Specifically, when a new message comes in, I want to read it, usually move or delete it, then read the next new message, if there is one. But if the next message is an old one, I don't want to keep having it shown to me. I keep my inbox fairly tidy, but I'm getting sick of seeing that message from a year ago that doesn't have a better place to be.

So, after moving or deleting a message, if there is an adjacent unread message, keep the window open. Otherwise, close it.

If there's an unread message somewhere else in the folder, don't jump to that one. Trust that I've left it unread for a good reason, and don't want to now constantly get shown it, and also have to remember to mark is as unread again.

If it's easier to look for other unread emails based on dates, a few days (enough to span a long weekend, for example) would probably be enough, a week at the most. Or make that number user-configurable.

Recently I posted about this problem here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1580858 In sum, I was having problems both in downloading messages from the Spectrum server and also with sending messages. I've attached screenshots of the error messages.

Matt and David kindly posted some helpful responses. The problem then seemed to spontaneously solve itself and I breathed a sigh of relief. Then a few days later it re-appeared.

This time it's not quite as bad in that I'll get the error messages but then usually a few minutes later I can download the messages or send an email. But it's still a real problem.

I called Spectrum again and this time the rep was adamant that if I can still use the Spectrum webmail feature (and I can), then it's not a Spectrum issue.

Last time Matt asked about my antivirus. I use Windows Defender (and occasionally do a manual scan with Malwarebytes free version), so if I understood him right, I should be OK as far as antivirus interference.

Matt also suggested I set TB so that I download messages at startup and every 15 minutes. I was set to every 10 minutes so I changed it to 15.

Matt said for me to check the Activity Manager. I've attached a screenshot of what that showed a few minutes ago. But I should note that this was after an error message displayed but my email downloaded anyway.

Finally, Matt said I should check the Error Console (Control + Shift +J). I've attached a screenshot of that. He also said I should use the trash can to clear it, so I did. He then said to press Shift + F5 to attempt to get my messages. But on my laptop, F5 just dims the display so no dice on that. But I have a second laptop and F5 is "neutral" on that one so I tried it there. I didn't get any new error message.

However, one of the screwy things is that sometimes I get all my messages as normal, but only after the "Can't connect to the server" message displays. And that's what happened with my second laptop above.

I hope I've provided better info. this time. And I hope you gents can help me with this mess.

Thanks,

Andrew

thunderbird Version 153.2.0esr (64 bits) Hello, following an update, email retrieval is no longer working for an account with a ....@rocketmail.com address. Thunderbird opens a "Yahoo" login window, but when I enter my address, it is flagged as invalid. Fortunately, I am still able to log in to this account via a web browser.
