Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

The new inbox format is similar to Apple inbox. I used Thunderbird because, in my opinion, the inbox layout was much better than Apple mail inbox which is one of the primary reason I use Thunder bird. Is there a way to go back to the previous inbox version?

Thunderbird. When I move an email it does not go to the new folder, it disappears. Ctrl-Z (in the same session, only) will bring the message back.

This is a serious and fundamental problem for an email reader. And there is no direct channel for getting help with such a fundamental problem.

The messages are not misfiled, they do indeed disappear. Thunderbird 115.11.1 (64-bit) on Windows 11 Pro 10.0.22631. OUTLOOK does not do this with the same mail accounts.

Hi, This is a clarification of a message the I sent several minutes ago. In that message, I may have stated that I was having a problem with forwarded messages using Firefox. Of course, I meant to say that I was forwarding email messages using Thunderbird.

I will restate the problem.

I am using Thunderbird 115.11.0esr (64-bit) on a Mac Mini M2 Pro running Sonoma 14.5.

When I forward an email message, multiple lines of HTML text is prepended to the message to be forwarded. I have attached a screenshot of a message with the first two lines of HTML text in a message to be forwarded.

How do I change this behavior so that the HTML text is not prepended with the forwarded message?

thanks for your help and I apologize for any confusion with my first post.

Hi, I'm using Firefox 115.11.0esr (64-bit) on a Mac Mini M2 Pro running Sonoma 14.5. When I forward an email message with Firefox, multiple lines of HTLM text are prepended to the forwarded message. I've attached a screenshoot showing the first 2 lines of this prepended text.

How can I configure Firefox so that his HTML text is not included in forwarded messages?

I have been using Firefox on Mac for a number of years. This behavior started when I upgraded to the Mac Mini M2 Pro and this version of Firefox.

Thanks for your help.

In new Windows 11 I created a Folder named General. In there I placed non urgent received e. mails. Now I cannot find it. It used to be in the small window left hand side where folders such as Bin, Scams, Sent are. (Been through also Application Basics where my profile is.) Thanks for any help.

Since Tuesday last the format of my email system has changed (and which I find terrible) but the fundamental problem is I'm unable to receive or send emails. Can someone help me with this . Settings may be incorrect. Telstra's so called experts have been unable to help

Hi, I seem to be having trouble syncing. I have an account which has 25 years' worth of emails on it, organised into folders. I reorganised the folders, and now on thunderbird they appear empty even though webmail shows them to contain emails.

I have tried going offline and downloading messages, changing my password, restarting, and clearing the startup cache.

How do I fix this, please?

Email from a trusted address over past decade is suddenly going to Junk as of today. Cannot see how to whitelist the Sender, and googling the question tells me to go to Tools>Options, however Options does not show in the Tools menu.

Hi all. I cannot seem to add my school email to Thunderbird. I love the platform so it would be great if I could figure this out.

My email address ends in @hws.edu. It seems to be run through Microsoft, but the 2 factor authentication takes you to their own https://sso.hws.edu/...

I have tried adding, just the email (and it says that the configuration isn't recognized by Mozilla's ISP), and then also just putting in the password (where it says, authentication failed either the entered credentials are incorrect or a separate username is required for logging in. This username is usually your Windows domain login or without the domain.) I don't know what\how the "Your login ex: YOURDOMAIN\yourusername" works.

I have no idea how to do manual configuration but would be willing to try. 

Any help would be appreciated

Recently I have been having an issue where all new incoming message to my primary email account will also end up in the inbox of my secondary email account. So basically, when I open Thunderbird and say 45 new messages appear in the inbox of my primary account (myname1@provider.com) those same 45 messages will also end up in the inbox of my secondary account(myname2@provider.com), even thought the messages were only addressed to the primary account. I checked to see if this was an issue with my internet provider, but when I check messages on their webmail, it only ends up in the correct account. Thanks for your help.

I'm using a VPN on my computer and phone and when I try to connect to the mail server, Thunderbird gives me an error saying that the mail server has disconnected. But when I disconnect from the VPN, everything works. This happens only with one mail server, on the others everything works OK even via VPN.

However, the the mail from this server is coming to my phone (where I use K-9 Mail).

I also tried to connect to the mail server via openssl, with the command "openssl s_client -connect mail.server.net:993 -crlf"

The connection is successful (when I'm on the VPN), but when I enter the command "a LOGIN my.username MYPASSWORD", it gives an error:

a NO [UNAVAILABLE] Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections=20)

I have set the "Maximum Number of server connections to cache" to 1 in Thunderbird, I have set to check for mail every 12 minutes (it already was 15 minutes on the phone before), and it is still the same.

Any idea how to solve the issue? I am connecting to this server with the same username and from the same (VPN) IP only from my phone and my computer, so I find it really strange that there are more than 20 simultaneous connections...

First of all, I would like to thank you for allowing me to receive e-mail through your organization for quite a few years now. Up until about 3 days ago, there has never been any problems with it. Why is it, that I have NOT been able to receive my e-mails FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS NOW? The last thing you sent me was a notice that there was some sort of faulty access by someone to my e-mail account and that I would have to change my password. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO DO THIS, BUT EVIDENTLY, MY ATTEMPTS HAVE FAILED. Could you please help me now to accomplish this?

When I try to send a message from my Thunderbird POP Server account I get:

“Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) webmail.digitalspaceportal.net timed out. Try again.”

Try again never works

Here are my Outgoing Server settings

Description: webmail.digitalspaceportal.net Server Name: webmail.digitalspaceportal.net Port: 1025 Default: 465 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authenticity Method: Normal Password User Name: jrf.consulting@attglobal.net

I am on a Win 11 laptop running Thunderbird V115.11.0 (64-bit)

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble with my Thunderbird app (version 115.11.1) on macOS. I'm trying to add my Google accounts, but after I attempt to connect them, I receive the following warning message: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

I've checked the configuration multiple times to ensure it's correct. Here are the settings I'm using for Gmail:

Incoming Server (IMAP): Server Name: imap.gmail.com Port: 993 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication Method: OAuth2 Username: [my email address]

Outgoing Server (SMTP): Server Name: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication Method: OAuth2 Username: [my email address]

I've also emptied all saved passwords and allowed cookies from sites without any exceptions. Is the version of Thunderbird I have still incompatible with Gmail? Or is there another issue that I might be missing?

Thanks for your help!

Win10/64-22H2 New installation of TB.

Attempting to create an email account in Set-up Your Existing Email Address. After entering the email information and clicking "Continue" the IMAP data popup showed correct information with the "Configuration found at email provider". Clicking "Done" causes a loop on "Checking password". Attempting to "Configure Manually" and Clicking on "Done" gives me an "Incoming server already exists." message.

The only option I have is to cancel the configuration and start over. I have done this several times.

Issue 1385895: Checking Password loop Issue 1380451: Incoming server already exists message

What did I change?: When typing a TB email, the sentence only types half the width of the page and wraps to the next line. Would look something like this: Isn't it great to be able to utilize the community to be able to resolve this issue I am having. I certainly hope it's a simple setting.
