Thunderbird supportforum

I’m not able to download any of my emails. This is the message that senders who try to email me receive.:

“A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  laurie@scottspencer.net     LMTP error after end of data: 452 4.2.2 <laurie@scottspencer.net> Not enough disk quota:     retry timeout exceeded”

I searched online for troubleshooting guidelines and did everything suggested that I found. I also uninstalled and then reinstalled Thunderbird. None of those things that I tried worked. I’m also not able to delete any messages. When I try to trash them, they just pop right back up.

This is my primary business email account and I would appreciate any help getting it up and running as soon as possible. Thank you so much!

I always use Thunderbird online so no need for offline storage. When I installed Thunderbird, online storage was set on for all accounts. I've since turned this off, but would like to recover the disk space. What Windows folders can I delete? Thanks.

I use comcast.net for my mail email, Gmail for my second, and I want to add both. THat is another topic I want addressed if it is possible to have tow simultaneous email accounts with the same Thunderbird email program, so I can switch back and forth when I need to.

My main concern is that when I go to add comcast email, it automatically forces me to sign in to the Xfinity website. I also have two-factor authentication where I click on the Xfinity app on my phone giving me permission to sign in.

It tries twice even after I click on the Xfinity app to give permission, but it fails. So, Thunderbird is pointless without me being able to successfully add my email client. What say you? And do not in any way point the finger at me, my devices, my phone or Comcast. Please get the solution, without being a narcissist, to fix my problem. I have all I can stand of this in the past. I appreciate it kindly, and thank you.

And I am not allowed to use any other form to sign in, even a text message because I use the Xfinity app. I am unable to change that, so get this fixed for me. I used Microsoft Outlook in the past with no issues with Xfinity and Gmail. See image screenshot on this post

Everything is successful up until when I click on "Done" and then TB hangs on "Checking password...".

Old topics on this have stated the issue is resolved by "uninstalling then reinstalling Thunderbird".

Not very practical for me - I have 37 email accounts.

I need another solution to the problem.

And I'm also curious - why I'm able to add (over time) 37 email accounts and now suddenly I can't add any more because of this issue?

Please, can someone provide an alternate solution - "uninstalling and reinstalling" when 37 accounts are involved doesn't make much sense.

In new Windows 11 I created a Folder named General. In there I placed non urgent received e. mails.

Now I cannot find it.  It used to be in the small window left hand side where folders such as Bin, Scams, Sent are. (Been through also Application Basics where my profile is.)   Thanks for any help.

Hello, I have not really a problem, but I want to know: how is it possible to get spam-emails without showing my email adress? In a normal list I can see the receiver adresses, in these spam emails with cryptical receiver that is not possible; I get even spam emails without any shown receiver Is this possible with BCC-Adresses?

With kind regards Hilhof

First of all, I would like to thank you for allowing me to receive e-mail through your organization for quite a few years now. Up until about 3 days ago, there has never been any problems with it. Why is it, that I have NOT been able to receive my e-mails FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS NOW? The last thing you sent me was a notice that there was some sort of faulty access by someone to my e-mail account and that I would have to change my password. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO DO THIS, BUT EVIDENTLY, MY ATTEMPTS HAVE FAILED. Could you please help me now to accomplish this?

Hi. My hard drive crashed. I have a new pc and the old drive is readable in a drive enclosure hooked up to new PC via usb. I have done the typical search for the appdata profile file, but I am not sure what I have here. I have attached a screenshot of the old drive and a global search on "Thunderbird". I am not sure where the profile file is residing. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.

I have thunderbird on two computers with to email accounts from aol.com. Recently on one computer the emails from the second account inbox are coming into the inbox of the first account not in the second inbox. How can I fix this ?

Hello,

Received notice today that my email addy is on the dark web which explains the recent emails asking for my personal info. 

I'm starting w/thunderbird... please a step by step instruction... I'm 75 yrs old & not a puter expert .. please.

Next , I'll change my internet provider password.

TY,MJ

I have used Thunderbird for many, many years with my @cox.net email addresses with no problems. Recently Cox moved all their email to Yahoo servers.

I have followed all the instructions for accessing email on the Yahoo servers using Thunderbird and have triple checked all the settings, but I still cannot download the emails. I get 2 messages: "Sending of password for user colorcreations@cox.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later." and: "Login to server pop.mail.yahoo.com with username colorcreations@cox.net failed." asking to retry, enter new password, or cancel.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem. I cannot be the only Thunderbird user having this problem.

In the main toolbar there is an odd shaded icon visible (see right side of attached screenshot). This is thunderbird 115 from debian. What is this icon and how to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance.

Apparently, from the bits I've read, the "solution" is to scrap Thunderbird and start anew with the knowledge that I set up my accounts "wrong" because I relied on the automatic setup and was ... led astray???

Frankly I expected better.

The reason I tried to switch to Thunderbird was because Apple Mail was behaving erratically (forcing threaded view though it was turned off) and there was no way to contact anyone about problems. However, typical for Apple because they don't communicate with users, the problem seem to have mysteriously resolved.

Anyway I'm switching back to Apple. For now. Because I don't want to play guessing games with my email about how to do things properly. Frankly, I'd switch to Gmail which all of my friends say behaves well. But I also don't want to be tracked and Google is evil in this regard. So here I am.
