Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

I can see my email when I search for the sender, but when I click on the email it does not come up. When I scroll down in Thunderbird, it does not scroll down to the date. I have attached a screenshot but again I can't pull it up.

Inbox messages are not marked as read automatically when displayed in the Message Pane. This started happening in rel 102.8, and continues in rel 102.9.

The Setting is set to 'Automatically mark messages as read - immediately on display'.

Is there anything to done?

I find it hard to explain and tend now too often to just give up.

I was overwhelmed with the response to an earlier question which itself was archived.

Here it is https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1380099

I want to get this sorted - but probably my lack of mental dexterity and neurodevelopmental disabilities make it impossible.

I looked at Outlook recently but that was not ideal either - I feel as if I am being guessed by technology too often - automatic spelling correction was bad enough - but this is something else and more AI is coming - I have just experimented with the NEW Bing search experience - it seems as if rather than being encouraged to think things through and formulate strategies that work for me - too much is being done for me.

Still at 74 - and in less than good health - I will not need to worry much more.

I would still like to see how to use Gmail with Thunderbird in a simplified form so that I can control what has gone where and understand the hows and whys.

Thanks to those who tried to help me before - I am sorry I did not respond positively to all the work that was done for me -as others did not get involved - I guess this must be a personal issue and not shared with many others.

I just reinstalled Windows and Thunderbird, and am trying to use my previous profile and files. My files were previously stored in c:\Thunderbird, rather than the default location.

With TB closed, I opened the Profile Manager, clicked Create Profile, changed the location to c:\Thunderbird, and then click Create Profile. I left it set as the default profile.

However, when I open Thunderbird, I'm at the startup screen, where it's asking me to enter my email address. None of my files are visible.

I then deleted the profile (but left the files intact), and used the default profile. When I entered Thunderbird, I clicked Import, then Import from another Thunderbird installation, then Choose a profile folder, and then I selected c:\Thunderbird. I left all boxes under "What to import" checked, and clicked Continue and then Start Import.

Got a message: "Import failed unexpectedly, more infomration may be available in the error console."

I then tried it again, leaving only "Accounts and settings" checked. Same message.

Going into the error console, the message is this: "Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Could not open the file at C:\Thunderbird\prefs.js".

I then went into C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\ and deleted the Thunderbird folder and tried the import again, as well as the creating of the profile again. Same results.

Any ideas about what I could do?

Thanks!

I have Thunderbird set to minimize to the task bar, but I often hit the X to close, as that's what I did with Eudora (which I sorely miss, Thunderbird is definitely subpar in comparison). After 6 months, I still find myself doing it. Is there a way to alert when I hit close? I'm not sure I want to download the add-on to minimize on close since it has unrestricted access.

My Ex recently accessed all my accounts, passwords, pins, the lot. He's changed passwords locking me out of just about everything. I thought I was safe with this twice wiped laptop, but I've just been locked out a new email, which has the one attached to my website: zoe@zleger.com. I need to find some way to get this email back into my hands so I can also recover the new email. I can say I sent a donation last year if that helps verify me. I've created the chisamore email when Google would no longer give me an account with any combination of my name, all of which I have been locked out of. This newly wiped computer has just been infected, sadly by something my son sent me as his email was the last thing I opened until I tried to log into the other email. Now I am locked out of both. I had been conversing with Linux.org about all this (Coreopsis) but I was soon locked out my own computer without even finishing the thread. I have to assume this email is being read but I hope I'm not locked out again. Yes, there is definitely someone watching this and mucking me about. Any help recovering my my website email would be greatly appreciated. Zoe

In recent versions of thunderbird, I am not able to use the wizard to add my mail account to thunderbird. When I try, I get an error popup saying the ingoing server is already added. It isn't. It is a completely fresh install of thunderbird on a new pc. There are no existing accounts at all in the settings.

My setup: I am using the hosting provider nordicway.dk with my own domain ellenshoej.dk.

The wizard is able to correctly discern most settings, except it gets the username wrong. The username should be the whole emailaddress, but it guesses to only use the username part, in front of the @-sign.

I attach a screenshot of the error popup.

If I go into manual settings and enter the correct username and try again, I still get the same error. (screenshot 2).

Even clicking Advanced configuration (blue link above the buttons) gives the same popup.

The only workaround I have found is to bypass the wizard completely all the way from the start. This can be done by only entering your name and email, then immidiately clicking manual setup and advanced configuration. This creates a blank entry in the settings. (screenshot 3) You can now enter all server settings manually, and then everything will work. But the wizard is completely broken for me.

Hello,

I'm having an issue sending emails from my GoDaddy business email account, which is part of the Microsoft Office Essentials suite from GoDaddy. Specifically, I'm unable to send emails using the Thunderbird desktop application (version 102.9.0). - I can receive emails without any problem, but when I try to send an email, I receive an error message that says:

"Login to account smtp.office365.com" failed. ? - Login to server smtp.office365.com with username my@email.com failed. Retry | Enter New Password | Cancel"

To provide some context, my SMTP server settings are as follows:

SMTP Server Server Name: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication Method: Normal Password Username: my@email.com

I contacted GoDaddy support, and they confirmed that my account and email are functioning correctly. However, the problem persists on the Thunderbird desktop application.

I have successfully set up other email accounts in Thunderbird using Gmail, and they are working fine. So, I suspect that the issue is related to my GoDaddy email account and Thunderbird.

I'm posting this message here in the hope that someone can help me resolve this issue on the Thunderbird desktop application. If anyone has any insights or suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi

I am going on holiday How do

Many thanks

Hi people! Ofesad here from Argentina.

I am building my website for my business and I started to create the email accounts for it: info@xxx.com, business@xxx.com, schools@xxx.com, universities@xxx.com, purchases@xxx.com, so on.

So I decided to use Thunderbird to to have'em all in one place.

Yesterday I try'd to set up the the accounts using IMAP. I had several issues and the only solution was to delete them from Thunderbird and set'em up again from scratch. I endup setting up 2 (business and purchases)

Now I am trying to add more and when I try to add the Info account I got an error: "Incoming server already exists". Logicaly since all the accounts are in the same server, the "incoming server" would be the same.

So, I dont know how to proceed or get around it go add all the accounts I need.

Any help would be more than welcome.

I have four accounts in Firefox, 1 gmail, 2 yahoo and 1 posteo - as of a few days ago, only the posteo.de account receives mail but none of the accounts can send mail, I repeatedly get the attached error message. Btw: I have not made any changes to any of the account settings.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated Susanne

I am a member of a team, which has an email (alias), let's call it team@mycompany.example

Mostly i send email using my personal email me@mycompamy.example, and I also wamt to continue doing so when responding to most emails sent to the team address

However, once in a while I may need to make an announcement using the team@ address as From:

So I set up a second identity using that address

This however now results in TB 102.9.1 (Mac) selecting the team@ address whenever I an replying to email originally sent to team@, which I do not want !! My normal identify me@ is already set as default !

I tried editing my default identify (me@) in Account settings/Manage identities and there

 [X] Reply from this identity when delivery headers match:  *

which did not help, nor did

 [X] Reply from this identity when delivery headers match:  *@mycompany.example

Note that the corresponding setting in the team@. identity is *NOT* set !

How can I make TB always select my default identify (me@) and never ever look at the delivery headers? If I want to use a different identity, I will manually choose it!

I have been using my email address as IMAP in the past, I have since changed to POP and wanted to know how I can download all the email messages from the server that are in separate folders via pop and have them deleted after the download.

Today is March 30th. I am not showing any e-mail for this date. The last e-mail is for March 29th, and that is strange. Also, one e-mail that I am sure was received today was dated yesterday.

Using Thunderbird 102.9.0 (64-bit), Windows 10

To clarify what I mean in my title: I've set up a message filter that is supposed to search in the body that contains a word. I know the word is in the body, but yet the filter is not being triggered.

I have tried a different word that has spaces before and after and it seems to work, so I guess that's the problem, but how can I allow thunderbird to work when there's different characters before or after the word also?

I used to be able to see all my inboxes in one folder. Since the upgrade, a couple of my inboxes aren't showing up. I have to expand all of my inboxes to see if I have new messages. I missed some important emails because they always used to come to my unified inbox. How do I get them all in one unified inbox?
