Every time I close out of Thunderbird I lose one of my email accounts and have to reconfigure it each time. I looked through the settings and can't find out how to keep that from happening. Any input?

I've just installed the recent thunderbird app (still will need to figure out how to delete an older version from my apps folder), but most importantly i'm not able to access my existing ymail/yahoo ymail messages. When i try to get to it, i just get that spinning ring.

hi, Just discovered that when i send an image with "attach" it is shown inside the mail. Not what i was hoping for - i wanted the receiver to clic on "attach" or something like that, to see it without text. i imagine their is a setting for this.

Thunderbird has said it will save open E-mails when the program is closed. It does not. Please cause Thunderbird to save and re-open E-mails when it is restarted after having been closed or when the computer turns off during a power failure. Thank you. On the other hand, if I am wrong, and there is an action I need to take to re-open opened E-mail, please instruct me. John La Farge

I can't access an MSN.com account, but I managed to do so with two other accounts. I've already deleted it twice and tried again, and the password is correct. Can you help me?

je n'arrive pas a accéder a un compte msn.com pourtant j'ai réussie avec 2 autre compte.j'ai deja supprimer 2 fois et réessayer et le mot de passe est correcte. pouvez vous m'aider ?

Got up this morning and stared up Thunderbird as I always do but got a 'new account dialog'. All of my emails, folders, settings, etc. are gone. Went through the Help - Trouble shooting process to find the old profile. There are three profiles listed in 'About Profiles' and if I launch with any of them, all I get is a new setup. Freaking out here as I have 10 of thousands of emails, in multiple email accounts, in a relatively complex folder structure which includes online and local folder storage. I have a feeling that Thunderbird updated last night and is the cause of this problem.

Hello, I have a problem with Thunderbird that I don't understand and can't solve. Thunderbird can't connect to my IMAP account on the remote server perfectly even after a clean install. Incoming emails are downloaded, but only 82 out of 5600 outgoing emails. All login details are correct, I tried STARTTLS settings on the correct ports, but there is no change. I see in the Activity Manager that the connection between the server and the client is lost several times a minute. There is no network error, both I and the internet service provider have checked the connection. The client is running the Win11 operating system.

How do I disable the donation webpage that opens (in Thunderbird) automatically?

A common suggestion is to disable the start page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1226585 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1520014 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1515838 https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1507571 That option is already unchecked.

Some seem to be suggesting that this page opens when an update happens: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1512477 There was no update installed lately.

Hello,

I’m having an issue with Mozilla Thunderbird when using my WP.pl (IMAP) email account. Thunderbird keeps downloading messages endlessly — it repeatedly fetches headers and then tries to download all emails for offline use, but the process never finishes.

I would like to keep all my messages available offline, but it seems Thunderbird is constantly synchronizing and never stops downloading.

I haven’t tried any troubleshooting steps yet. Could you please advise how to properly set up Thunderbird so that it downloads all messages once and then keeps them stored offline without repeating the same process continuously?

I've been using Thunderbird for years (Windows 11 PC), and all has been working fine as recently as last night. Starting this morning, I continuously get the error message, "Login to server mail.comcast.net with user name xxx failed" (xxx not my actual account name). I've tried the "Retry" and "Enter New Password" options to no avail. I can go directly to the Comcast website, login and get my email that way, but I can't get Thunderbird to login.

To my knowledge, nothing changed between last night and today, but yet something seems to have happened. Any ideas appreciated!

Facendo segui alla seganlazione precedente relativa all' impossibilità di inviare posta con cui avete risposto con mail del 14/10 ore 9.00: l tuo IP è in una blocklist, probabilmente per spam o per altre attività anomale (non significa necessariamente che tu ne sia l'autore).

Prova a farti assegnare un IP diverso dal tuo internet provider (spesso basta spegnere il modem per qualche minuto e poi riaccenderlo).

Oppure contatta IOL/Libero/Virgilio e segnala la situazione.

In ogni caso non riguarda Thunderbird che si limita a mostrarti il messaggio di errore che riceve dal server.

Come mai da un altro pc riesco ad inviarla? Libero non c'entra e le configurazioni di thunderbird sui 2 pc sono le stesse. il fatto che il mio IP sia in una blocklist non mi è stato mai comunicato ne da voi ne tantomeno da Libero, quindi come si spiega il tutto se non per un'anomalia di Thunderbird. Attendo Ragguagli in merito. Cordiali saluti

When I'm composing an email, I can't move the cursor down past bolded text using the down arrow key. It just stays at the beginning of the bolded line. I can scroll up past it using the up key. This started a couple months ago, for some reason.

For months I have been working around a problem with Original HTYML message displays in my inbox. I have to revert to message body as Simple HTML for it to be readable. Please see the screenshot.

Something happened that took away my 'get messages' button and my 'write' button and the others that used to be there.

I can find nowhere to add these back. When I try to adde them back in view-toolbar-toolbar settings, 'SAVE' is greyed out.

Either I am a real dumb user or this is a real dumb bug that cropped up today.

I have no way to get messages or write one now.

Hello.

I have added a new account to Thunderbird, and it is not syncing to show new messages. I am getting a pop-up from Tbird saying "The certificate for mail.newcreationloughborough.uk is not valid for that server ..." etc. I have gone through the procedure titled 'Troubleshooting email client warnings about invalid server certificates' to add Norton's certificate to my email app (as directed by the 'resolve' link in the 'Resolve email sync issues caused by certificate warnings' from the Norton EE Cyber Security add-on), and it tells me that the certificate is already installed.

What can I do next to get it to sync?

Hello, I reported this problem and you replied with a solution and that was to downgrade to version 142. My question is: Then what ? Will I be stuck with version 142 for years or is Thunderbird working on a solution to this problem because presently updating to any version such as 144 only continues to erase local folder contents. Thank you for your support Douglas Noades

I have recently installed Thunderbird on a Raspberry-Pi - additional to several Windows PCs

I'm using the same Mail-Adresses via Thunderbird - and on my MobilePhone - on serveral devices.

This all works fine...

But Thunderbird on the Pi has created two "SENT" Folders - one is named "Sent Items" - the other just "sent".

Now - only the one folder named "Sent items" connects with the IMAP - the one named "Sent" only remains local - Mails sent from the PI DO NOT show up in the "Sent" folders on the other devices - all mails sent from other devices show up in the Folder "Sent Items". But the Mails sent from the Pi actually reach recipients and receive answers.

The Location for the folders is listed under properties as:

imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent (on the PI) - folder "Sent" imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent%20Items (on the PI) - folder "Sent Items" and imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent Items (under Windows)

To solve the Problem, I tried to EDIT the line Location under properties, but this can't be edited (doesn't allow entries - or delete with cursor - nor pastes from Copy / Paste.)

So how can I synchronize the SENT folder(s) from the Pi with the Server...?

Thank you for any suggestions
