Hi, I have Thunderbird installed and have been using it to do my email on a self hosted server and to connect to a google calendar account. This has been working for years, but now I'm finding when I accept a meeting invitation via email, its not being put through to the Google Calendar. I've reset the google calendar link a few time (deleted and created again from scratch). Its using the caldav interface to Google calendar. I'm also seeing this random message pop up (see uploaded image) - but there is no details on what to do. Anybody have any clues?

I have also the small and simple problem of this old question: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1419582 if there is a solution or a workaround for ordering the addresses it qould be nice regards Domenico

Ok, so my Thunderbird updated this week to a new version, which I don't like very much but that's besides the point. Anyway, I always leave Thunderbird open (24/7) and I have a notification sound to let me know when mail comes in that I have been using for well over a decade now, but as of this last update my Thunderbird no longer plays that sound at all. I have tried every fix I could find online (ie: checking if its muted in volume mixer, making sure the default/proper sound source is selected, changing the drive for the custom notification sound, you name it I tried it) and NOTHING works. Even trying to use just the basic default notification sound doesn't work at all anymore. I have even gone to the length of completely reinstall Thunderbird itself but the problem persists.

When I click PLAY in the settings it plays the sound just fine, any sound I select, so I KNOW the sound is perfectly fine...it's Thunderbird itself that seems to be broken. It just will not play ANY notification sounds all of a sudden.

I need an email client open, and I absolutely NEED the notification sound. I have been using Thunderbird for like 15 yrs, I really really don't want to have to switch to a new client over something like this, but like I said I NEED that notification sound and if I can't get it working again I'll have no choice.

can anyone help PLEASE?!?! I'm desperate!

Everything has been working normally for years until today. I cant retrieve emails from ATT servers and the only message is "Host contacted sending login information". It hangs for 30 seconds and then nothing... No error message is displayed. I read a similar post and tried following the back and forth, but didnt find any solution. What I have tried: -Copied an old backup copy of a profile into the default. -Checked the server settings and tried the option of using a password instead of OAUTH2. -Created a new profile and set it as the default.

Each time I had to restore the profile by copying a recent profile backup into the default

No luck with any of these steps.

For the past 30 years I have had an e-mail account with FreeNetName in the UK, which during that time moved to Madasafish and then PlusNet.

I have always run the account on Thunderbird as POP3.

I've just moved the account to GoDaddy and set up an Outlook e-mail account with them.

I'm unable to set up Thunderbird on POP3 or IMAP to be able to access my e-mails, despite having followed numerous articles.

When trying to complete set-up, I get the error: "Configuration could not be verified. If your username and password are correct, it’s likely that the server administrator has disabled the selected configuration for your account. Try selecting another protocol."

Within the Outlook settings, the "Let devices and apps use POP" slider is greyed out.

Has anyone else had this issue?

Seit kurzen kann ich beim senden einer Nachricht keinen Anhang mehr hinzufügen, es öffnet sich kein Auswahlfenster mehr, was am 8.09.26 das letzte mal noch funktionierte. Weder über die Büroklammer, noch übers Menü Datei-Anhängen-Datei(en). Es passiert einfach Nichts.

In der Update-Chronik sehe ich am 19.09.26 ein Update auf 153.1.1esr !? Habe deshalb das neueste Update 153.4.0esr heruntergeladen und installiert, aber ohne Erfolg.

Hat jemand ne Idee? Ausgerechnet jetzt wo ich in den nächsten Tagen die Funktion dringend bräuchte...

Vielen Dank

Firefox said to update to 153.4.0 esr to continue to use Google Calendar. I did and was able to recover the calendar. But the upgrade lost all my emails and folders. Previous answers for lost emails have not worked. Please give me a step by step procedure to recover my emails. Thank you

I see a "Thunderbird ESR" notice appears when I open my laptop. I searched to see what it means. I'm still confused. 1) where did it come from? 2) is it best for me? I am a senior not interested in lots of changes (except improvements), but I am not an organization. Should I do anything or just leave it?

Running Windows 11 Home and Tbird 153.4.0esr. Tbird configured with IMAP. I have many years worth of emails stored in my Tbird profile folder. Profile folder is 25 GB.

I want to delete the bodies of all emails in the profile folder but retain the subject lines to minimize the size of the profile folder (while keeping bodies of all emails on the server). Then I can retrieve any email from the server.

Anyone do this successfully without losing emails? Is there a step-by-step procedure for doing this on the Mozilla website? (Google is giving me an Ai answer but not a link to a Mozilla answer.)

I have Thunderbird configured to log in to 3 separate email accounts, one of which is a Yahoo email account. Several days ago, a message appeared that notified me that Thunderbird would not connect to the imap account in Yahoo. I tried changing the password by logging in to the Yahoo account via my browser, but Thunderbird still gives the error message. Do I need to delete the Yahoo account from Thunderbird and start over, or is there something else that can fix Thunderbird so I can use it for all 3 email accounts? Thank you.

Hello there

I have had Thunderbird for a number of years on the same Windows 10 laptop. Current version 153.4.0esr (64-bit) updated today/yesterday trying to resolve the issue. I am able to retrieve messages from two accounts one earlier than the other but not to send any message. None of the others either hotmail, live or gmail. I was able to check individually the email inbox directly and all seems correct. I checked the profiles and found only one. Also old Mail folder for pop no longer in use. ImapMail seems to be correct. As I am writing another account has received messages but unable to send any.

This seems really weird! No error messages, or warning , just does not want to behave normally
