I have a hotmail.com address. Until recently, it worked well as webmail, plus also from TB on laptop, via IMAP and SMTP.

A few days ago, the sending function via SMTP stopped working (not IMAP); and webmail is still fine. I've tried a lot to solve it, but to no avail.

My guess is that MS is to blame, but don't know how to reach someone better-than-hotline there.

Details see annex; OS is Win10, TB is 115.9

Would someone be familiar with this kind of problem? According to my traditional european quality idea, best should be to get in touch with an MS technician with access to the syslog, to hear what the system's response to connection attempts is - but this seems to be precluded? I wonder what alternatives there might be?

I am running 4 email addresses (3 hotmail.com and 1 live.com) on TB 102.15.1 (64 bit) - Windows 10. About a month ago I upgraded TB was unable to send anything no matter what Server settings I used - tried every combination - so I downgraded back to Version 102 and everything went back to normal. About a week ago, one of my hotmail accounts started giving me a "fail to log in" message. The other accounts work fine. The "fail to log in" will go from 2 or 3 times to 15 to 20 times in about an hour or so but every time, sooner or later will work and then it will be fine for a few hours and then start again. I have had these accounts running on TB for well over 10 years with no problem and I have not changed anything in the Server settings or anywhere else. The account I am having the issue with has been running on TB since TB started with no problems until now. I assume that TB may be having some issues with the Outlook platform but I have not changed anything there either and I have no problem logging into hotmail.com directly. I have spent many hours combing the internet for hints to no avail - everything I have tried has either had no effect or screwed things up so I had to back track to where I started. Any ideas???

Made a mistake and installed 157.7.0 on Linux

Now cannot backup/restore to another computer so cannot use that computer.

Old Profile used to be in .thunderbird folder - easy!

Now profile seems to be in /home/oem/snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird/26pphmrb.default

This does not contain all emails especially for pop3 and anything after Nov 23. It does not work

Q's

Best way to fix? Can I force it TBird to read the .thunderbird in home directory? Can I install an older version of TBird easily? Is there some other way to restore the profile and clone another computer?

In 115.8.0 (and earlier versions), the plain text Write window text area ignores the Colors shown everywhere else. Even if I choose Edit->Settings or Tools->Settings from the Write window toolbar, and select Composition in the Settings window, I get color choices that affect all other windows, and even the Write window header line and the dropdown menus from the Write toolbar, but NOT the Write window toolbar itself, nor the content I'm composing!

The text of the content I'm writing is decently visible, but the background behind it is medium gray, and the quoted text I'm replying to is a pale green almost indistinguishable from the pale gray background. Miserable for my lousy vision...

Is there some trick to getting that text area to follow the colors seen everywhere else in Thunderbird?

bold text4 or 5 years ago i simply synced TB and Firefox straight to my laptop from my desktop. Today it does not seem to work that way. Why has it gotten more complicated? I have all of my emails, address's and etc.saved profile and cannot seem to replace it. I tried the thunderbird.exe -p and it gets confusing there. Apparently it does not give one the option to replace profile like mine, but one can create one. I tried creating by entering my old Profile and it did not work. It says to use the Browse button which should bring you to the actual spot to add your profile. I do not see a 'Browser" button, but do see 2 separate folders buttons, but i do not know which to choose, if any. I have donated in the past when things were working smoothly, but discourged to add to it now with all these upgrade mess's. Like they say, "if it ain't broken, leave it alone..." s amd

Suddenly I cannot send emails. I can receive emails. I have checked my account settings and they are correct as follows: Charter Communications mail.twc.com port 587 Starttls normal password ggordets@san.rr.com. I contacted Spectrum and we proved that the problem is not them by initiating an outgoing email to myself using webmail. I even tried uninstalling and re-installing Thunderbird. As indicated above my email is ggordets@san.rr.com

I have posted this as a reply to another part of this Help page but repeat it in the hope that I get a faster answer.

I have Thunderbird 115.9.0 on my Windows 10 computer. I have four email accounts listed and wish to make the one at the bottom of my list the default account so that it will send emails generated by an MS Access database. This did work a year ago then I switched back and now changing it again is not working.

Neither changing account order or setting a default account is working for me. First I just tried to set the account at the bottom of my account list as the default. Failed as priority immediately flicked to the top account. I then shifted the bottom account to the top of the list. Looked good but restarted TB and the list was back to the old order. Again shifted the bottom account to the top and then made it default - looked good. There is no action to "save" this setting so restarted TB - no, accounts were the same as last week. Please help. I need that bottom account to be default on Monday morning.

I really am getting fed-up with Thunderbird which is getting increasingly user unfriendly and more and more geekified, e.g. the enforced belief on users that every user wants threading. To add to the gneral irritation, half a dozen emails have suddenly vanished from the folder they had been moved to.

Here's what happened.

1. The emails were moved from the iinbox to the folder.

2. They were unthreaded.

3. They then disappeared.

A search has not found them and opening and checking all folders has not found them.

So, two questions:

1, Where are they?

2. How do I get them back?

With the moving of Cox emails to Yahoo would it be feasible for Thunderbird to put an instruction list(with screenshots) of how to get all our TB email accounts from Cox to TB? Do we have to delete all our TB email accounts and re-enter them into TB under the new Yahoo or can we just change the server settings on the existing Cox settings? If just changing server settings what are the settings for the new yahoo? All my accounts are IMAP so if instructions could be made, maybe one for IMAP and one for POP for those who use either.

I migrated Thunderbird from a windows 10 pc to a new windows 11 pc using Laplink PC mover software. It successfully copied all my messages, address book etc. but the appearance was nothing like it was on the windows 10 machine. I've fixed most of the problems but the column headers are barely visible. I can't find anything in the settings despite hours of trying. Attached is a screen shot of the barely visible column headers, indicated by the red arrow.

Hey!

Is there a way to apply Message Filters only to a specific folder of the mailbox?

I have a filter that moves emails from my Gmail mailbox to a Local Folder. It works well.

However, if the same email gets downloaded to the "All Mail" folder of the same Gmail mailbox, it gets moved as a duplicate to the same Local Folder. (all Gmail mailboxes have this "All Mail" folder)

I have unsubscribed from the "All Mail" folder, as an attempt to resolve this issue.

However, if I go on the Gmail website, delete the email from "All Mail", it moves that email to the Trash. Then, once Thunderbird downloads that email in the Trash folder, the Message Filter applies, and the duplicate is moved again to the Local Folder.

--

I believe the only way to resolve this is if I could select "Inbox" specifically, for the Message Filter.

So my question is whether it's possible (maybe with an addon) to select which folder I want a specific Message Filter to apply to.

Thank you!

Hi there,

i try to describe my problem as good as i can, i am no native english speaker, so sorry for any confusing phrases :)

What is my acutal problem? When i open Thunderbird it asks me to type in the password for the account. If i type it in without checking "save password" everything works. When i check that Thunderbird should save my password, Thunderbird is trying to send the login information, but after some time (about two minuets) i get a timeout error while trying to reach the mailserver. I am able to login and work with webmail, i contacted the hosting provider, we double checked all settings in Thunderbird and he also checked if any IP of me is blacklisted or something, but everything is fine.

Since when does this happen? I am self employed and i am providing IT support for customers. Yesterday i got this new customer who said he can't receive mails anymore. His installation of Thunderbird was really old (version 45.x), so first things first i updated the installation to the recent version. When i first opened the updated Thunderbird the password prompt appears and the problems begin.

What i tried to fix the problem I did some research. I searched for pkcs11.txt inside the profile, but there was none. After that i looked for key3.db and key4.db files, i found both and moved them both to a backup-folder and started Thunderbird again. key4.db is created new, but that does not fix the problem. I can't find any more related topics to my problem, so maybe some of you have any idea. As i said, when i don't check the box to save the password, Thunderbird is working fine without any problems.

Thanks in advance for any help,

greetings from germany Christian
