Thunderbird Support Forum

I used to use Thunderbird exclusively, but GoDaddy dumped my three main mailboxes into Exchange Server; even with Owl, Tbird could only be used for one of them, so I was forced into Outlook for those accounts. But I kept Thunderbird to use with the non-GoDaddy mailboxes. However. I did not remove the GoDaddy accounts from Thunderbird, as I was busy. Now, when I click the Thunderbird icon on my taskbar, Outlook comes up instead. Ditto when I enter Thunderbird on the start menu! It's not even my normal Outlook, which has my main three mailboxes. but an Outlook that shows only the least-used of the three. How do I get Thunderbird back? And when I do, how do I delete those three mailboxes from it?

I have been successfully accessing my icloud account with thunderbird on Windows 10 for years and then on Tuesday (June 4th) it went weird. All I am left with is thunderbird's cached inbox e-mails. If I try to update the list of new e-mails, it just sits there with no errors reported. If I try to read some cached e-mails I can see the full text. (I am setup to always read plain text), but for some, I just get whitespace. I see "myname@icloud.com connected to imap.mail.me.com..." on the status line for most folders, but some just clear that status message.

I am not receiving emails and when I try to send an email I get a warning "Sending of the message failed.Peer’s Certificate issuer is not recognized.The configuration related to smtp.themessagingco.com.au must be corrected" I have made sure that the account information for incoming and outgoing mail is correct, but that is the limit of my understanding of what I can do. How can I correct this problem?

Hi. I have 3 e-mails. recently I could not receive on another e-mail. I called my cable tech. he said that thunderbird hadupdated and some users had problems. He had me change my port to 578. I did and now the same e-mail will send but not receive. so three of my e-mails will send and only 2 will receive. I am very ignorant with computer use. I use a flip phone for travel. thanks dan

I am running 115.4.1 (64-bit). I noticed fairly recently that my main gmail account is not downloading the latest emails. I went to "Help", "About Thunderbird" and got the following error:

Update failed. Updates available at https://www.thunderbird.net/

I'm including a screen capture of the error.

Am I supposed to simply download the version at "https://www.thunderbird.net/" and then run that?

Thanks for any help.

HI

Outh2 Saved Password entries is being removed automatically after few months in password manager. It is asking again to Re-Authenticate. After authentication, It is getting removed again after few months. Please help.

Hi Everyone. I'm sure that Thunderbird used to have the option to show conversations (received AND sent messages) in folders especially useful in the Inbox. However I can;t see a way to enable that in the current version. I know I can go to conversation view in the context memory but it seems crazy that is an option by context but can;t be set as a default for 'normal' viewing in folders - all I can set is to see half the conversation with the trail of received messages but not my replies intermixed with them so I see the whole conversation. Am I missing a setting somewhre? Thanks fo any help.

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 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.

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

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.
