Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

We have been using Thunderbird with a Cox email account. Cox has just transferred all its customers to Yahoo. I want to use Thunderbird with Yahoo. How do I set that up?

Hi.,

 Cox cable just discontinued their email server and moved all it's email accounts to Yahoo.

I had been using Thunderbird successfully with Cox for several months before this happened.

 I am able to send and receive emails now via my new online Yahoo server;  however I have not

been able to connect / use Thunderbird to send and receive emails since the Yahoo changeover. I have tried many things, but I either get a "failed" error message or a "timed out" error message. Yahoo support has not been able to figure this one out. They are hard to get a hold of and hard to understand (communicate with). They are overseas from the US.

 I appreciate any help you can offer.

Kind regards, Ken

Hello, I have been using Thunderbird with the Manually Sort Folders app for years. The ability to place folders and subfolders where I need them is essential for what I do. With the latest Thunderbird "upgrade", it was downgraded as the Manually Sort Folders app is no longer useable. Until Mozilla fixes it to where either the app can be used or Thunderbird is improved so that it will let me sort folders itself, I cannot upgrade. Please either render the Manually Sort Folders app useable again or make Thunderbird so that folder can be sorted. Thank you.

Tools> settings>Privacy & security , The panel for stored passwords is BLANK. I can't sign on to get email

I have turned anti-virus off, checked account settings and checked provider's access limit. I can receive emails in webmail, but not Thunderbird. I don't get any error message in Thunderbird, emails just won't come through.

How can I turn off the threading of my emails? Its driving me crazy as when an email comes in after a short time it disappears into the threads and then I have to open each thread to find out who sent the email. At one stage there were 6 emails noted near the inbox but no new unthreaded message, all went to respective threads. Very time wasting.

as from the 19/2 the emails are not coming through also It would not send emails if you can help you can email me back on thevrons@hotmail.com.Thankyou Ron Turner

Can you please let me know why the coloring of my text which was so simple in the earlier versions is no longer possible.

In such situations can you allow me to use an older version till you fix these bugs?

This is very frustrating and will be grateful if you can help.

I have been a donor and really want to see Thunderbird succeed.

Upon reopening Thunderbird mail today, I find that the latest update does not allow emails to be opened in a new window with one-click. Clicking on an email launches the message in a new tab instead of a window. Why create a new issue like this? DUMB . . . please fix.

Hello,

This is my very first post to a support community so please excuse me for any rookie mistakes and oversights.

T.B. 115.8.0 (64-bit) Windows 10 - IMAP settings with multiple domains and multiple accounts on each.

Problem/Issue: Most searches return the expected results, but in certain cases, and seems to affect mostly the sub directories in Local Folder (have not been able to replicate problems in strings found elsewhere).

Things I have already done: - Rebooted PC - Compacted the folder where the email resides - Repaired such folder - Confirmed that Global search is clicked for such folder - Opened the email to confirm that it does open and is valid (Remember that it's in Local folders so already downloaded)

E.g. Global search string "Re: New Project 25-301-623 needed into Swahili - word count 321" (which does exists in Local Folders) does not produce any results but (Deleted first character of the string) "e: New Project 25-301-623 needed into Swahili - word count 321" produced results for "New Project 25-301-623 needed into Swahili - word count 321" without the results for "Re:...". Additionally, no filters are displayed such as Location, People, etc. (Running the same search within the folder where it resides works fine.) Cutting down the string to only "Re: New Project 25-301-623" still does not find any results. Global search for string "Payable Summary for: August 2022", which resides in the same folder tested is found but no filter data available for Location, People, etc. However a search for "Project delivery for Job: 25-258-813" again residing in the same folder is found with Location, Account and People. I've tested same approach and tests on different folders to rule out Folder specific problems and behavior is the same problem.

Another example that might help in figuring things out. I tested a string of an email subject from an amazon order, which are long in nature do to # dashes, long numbers, etc. Performed a global search and the email was found but no Filters shown. Did the same search removing the end of the string "has shipped" and the email was found once again but with all Filters showing.

I hope I have been thorough enough. If any additional information is needed please let me know.

Thanks to all.

Dear sir, madam, I have a Thunderbird account. I have access to it and to the menu, but I have to put a password in to receive my new emails. I don't know my password and have tried really everything that is suggested on your website to get my password, renew it, access a reboot-option etc: nothing works - I still keep getting a window where I am asked to put in the password for my account. Please help me fix this, thank you in advance, greetings, M vd vegt

Sadly, my old Windows 10 PC crashed, and I'm migrating to a new computer. I have a backup of the old default profile folder (9k7faw1z.default), but not of the entire Profiles folder. I have tried to import this old default profile using the import function in my new Thunderbird install on my new Windows 11 computer.

Alas, I get the error message "Import failed unexpectedly; more information may be available in the Error Console." I looked in the error console, and it's empty.

Is there a better way to import my old data from my old default profile folder? It's 3GB of valuable data and I'll be in a pickle if I can't access it.

Thanks very much.

I'm very confused. I've been using Thunderbird as my email server for a few years. Recently, I stopped receiving emails December 12, 2023. I sent in a problem according to the help page that I found. I believe Mozilla is now the server for Thunderbird? I don't even know if that is accurate (part of my confusion). I followed prompts and confirmed my email address, apparently I now have a user name. I still can't send or receive emails. Can you help. I need step-by-step instructions, please.

There is an email app provided by xiaomi on my phone.What in the email sent by this app contains a special format of `Date` fields.It looks like that: `Date: Thu, 2 May 2024 05:55:12 UTC` It doesn't look like others' `Date: Thu, 2 May 2024 06:05:15 +0000` or `Date: Thu, 2 May 2024 10:35:14 +0800 (CST)`

but it is still conforming to standards (or is it only parsable by the JavaScript Date method?)

After I modified windows time zone and restarted thunderbird. all emails changed time so this is not a time zone problem.

But this email shown two different times in the preview and detailed pages at this moment.

So can anyone tell me if this is a bug? Thank you.
