It's possible to drag/drop contacts from To to CC or BCC.

It should be possible to do so across messages open in separate windows.

But when I try it, it fails.

I am running Thunderbird 140.11.1esr on Windows 11. I have many email accounts mainly with btinternet which I access with Thunderbird. Most of them work fine but when I tried add another email account with a very large inbox all of the folders download fine but the inbox itself doesn't show any messages but the number alongside the folder says 220479 (which I think is unread messages). I have tried this on 2 different laptops with the same result. I have tried to Repair the folder. The folder is selected for offline use and I have tried to press the Download now button.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Thunderbird will connect to my yahoo server, but will not "bring in" the mail. The msg bar will say for example "loading 1 of 76. The doesn't until server has timed out.

somehow i managed to import from one email account to another thinking i would like it but i don't like since it just makes me have same mail in 2 places but i don't know and can't find how to cancel the import, can someone tell me how

I recently obtained a digital certificate for use with S/MIME. I followed the process laid out in

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/instructions-smime-certificate-using-csr

to generate my key pair, create a CSR, submit it to a CA, download the resulting certificate file, and import it into Thunderbird. I also imported the intermediate certificate showed as the issuer for my cert, which in turn appears to be signed by one of the certs trusted by default in Thunderbird.

Having done that, I see the certificate showing up under "your certificates" in the Certificate Manager, with a "not before" date in the past and a "not after" date in the future. So everything appears to look correct, but when I try to send a signed email I get the following error message as a pop-up:

"Sending of the message failed. You specified that this message should be digitally signed, but the application either failed to find the signing certificate specified in your Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings, or the certificate has expired."

And if I look at the console in developer tools I see:

"mailnews.send: NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIMsgComposeSecure.beginCryptoEncapsulation]

I can't make sense of the error message, since the certificate appears under "your certificates" in the certificate manager, and it does not appear to be expired. Can anyone suggest how to determine the root cause and fix it? Does it matter that the certificate is for a non-default identify I've added for the account in Thunderbird? Does it matter if the "common name" in the certificate doesn't match the "Your Name" field in Thunderbird? Any pointers on what to check would be appreciated.

I'm not sure exactly when this problem started but it could have been when I had to move my primary email from Xfinity over to Yahoo. Also not sure if this started after a recent Thunderbird update. I can not send new emails nor can I forward old emails. Haven't tried reply but suspect it is the same. This is the message I get: Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again. All settings and passwords are correct as I can receive and send from all my different accounts using browser. I can send emails from my accounts, on my iphone, though not using Thunderbird on iphone. Account settings and passwords are the same on the phone.

When I receive a junk email, it spends a brief time in my inbox before being moved to the spam folder by the automatic classifier of Thunderbird. In that brief window, the notification system already displays the notification. I found no way of changing that behavior. Is this normal behavior? How to change it?

I've been trying to create and account on thunderbird with both my outlook and posteo emails but every time I click on 'create an account' it says:

Authentication error.

Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.

It showed me the same message last year when I tried to use thunderbird for the first time, and again now that I tried again thinking it was an issue that might have been fixed since then. I double check the configuration, username and password for both me emails but it doesn't want to got through. I tried it both on my computer with the desktop version and on my android phone, and neither works.

Is there anything I could do to fix this issue?

Have been using Thunderbird for years. Tried to set it up so my wife could also use it but the profile was the same as mine so when I deleted her profile, it also deleted mine and now I do not have access. How can I recover my profile so I can have access to all my previous emails and email addresses??? Also, since I cannot access the profile it will not open the app menu so I do not have access to the version.

Hello,

I have this problem. On only 1 PC from 5, with same mailboxes installed and same configurations, on one of the mailboxes, Thunderbird does not accept setting to "not read" the letter. I tried making time to read the letter and it worked for 10 min, and then again stopped. At final, no matter how it is set, when I push to read the message it always read it.

Tried repairing the folder, but doesn't work.

Any Ideas will be great.

Thank you

I keep getting this message. TDS says it isn't aware of what this this and to contact you to see how to rid myself of this message.

Thank you, Michael Evans
