Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

When writing an email message, periodically the cursor jumps to the subject line.

A prior thread recommended unchecking the hardware acceleration option at Settings / General / Indexing -- though that has not worked for me.

Does anyone have a solution?

Please provide guidance on how to fix this issue. When I attempt to transmit an email I get the error: "Add security exception, Location: smtp.aol.com:465 This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information." When I Confirm Security Exception I get: "Send Message Error: Sending of the message failed. Peer Certificate issuer is not recognized. The configuration related to smtp.aol.com must be corrected." I cannot receive any emails either. No error message just no new emails since 5/29/2024. I have verified the settings needed and checked my system that they are correct. As this happened after an update I think this is your bug.

Two related problems I think:

1) I have never used the Archive facility, and I've unchecked the box in the Copies & Folders | Message Archives | Keep message archives in - for all the mailboxes. But I'm still getting *some* messages appearing in the Archives mailbox that now has no subfolders. And I never type "A" when reading a message. Some messages just appear there. They are duplicated in the Unified Folders.

2) On a random basis (every couple of days) the Archives folder gets several blank messages the date of 12/31/1969 that I can't delete or read. They can't be marked as read either so they stay in bold. And a little while later they're gone.

I am running Total Defense as an anti-malware, and I saw elsewhere the suggestion to turn off scan of the mailboxes, but wouldn't that leave me vulnerable to malware that comes in via emails?

Any idea what's going on? TIA!

Hi, I know 95% likely NOT to be Thunderbird but hoped someone might have some advise.

With TSOHost & they recently migrated me to xxxxxxxxxxxx.prod.sxb1.secureserver.net (no choice) I think this is a GoDaddy server.

emails use to Go instantly (talking about the delay between pressing send & it going, so I can go on to the next. Not how long it takes to get to the received. Now 4 to 10 seconds, I guess 6 or 7 seconds on average. Short emails, no attachments, size seems to make no difference.

SSL & ports etc. all seem fine, it works, just slow. Not changed anything else in TB apart from the server name.

Is faster direct from webmail but prob. around 4 seconds.

Thankfully receiving is just as fast as before, again the update of what is shown, not from X to Y. TSOHost once moved me in error & I had similar slow but also on receive, might open TB & it was 10 - 20 seconds, I think even longer, before incoming were show & updated. I got them to move me back. I think then it was GoDaddy underneath. TSOHost say its down to the client, which seems unlikely if the day before migration it was OK.

Any advise/ideas. May not seem a lot but doing through lots of short emails, it does slow you down.

Can't see how virus detection could be involved, as nothing changed, perhaps a difference server, Windows defender is doing some more stuff, wild guess?

I use Thunderbird to check the 15 different email accounts that I have to respond to. On the 4th of June it just quit sending or receiving emails. I tried deleting some of my emails but it hasn't helped. Do you think I haven't deleted enough or would there be another reason for it to quit working.

I just marked an email as spam/junk and I expected it to be moved to the spam folder. Unfortunately this did not happen. Even after restarting (latest version)Thunderbird the spam mail is still in my inbox. It's a bit disappointing and unexpected. Am I doing something wrong, or does this kind of functionality depend on the imap server?

If I try to save an attachment or add an attachment Thunderbird flashes up a window for one second then crashes. It only started happening a couple of days ago.

Tried attachment extractor add on but same issue. In "Settings > Save files to >Browse" also crashes. crashes also in troubleshoot mode. latest version of Thunderbird.

last crash report : Crash ID: 6c97ce14-2f2f-4f09-9424-6c7780240608

For the Inbox (main) window:

• Choosing File::Close does nothing.
• Typing Cmd-W flashes the title of the File menu but otherwise does nothing.
• The only way to close the window is to click its red close button (upper left).
