Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

This is the message I get when trying to send emails: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: pgbentley101@gmail.com recipient rejected. Please check the message recipient "pgbentley101@gmail.com" and try again."

Title. Thunderbird is a really cool client but it's pretty slow. I blame that on the thousands upon thousands of emails that my hotmail and gmail each hold. I don't necessarily want to delete these emails, but I have seldom a reason to have any email older than 2 months in my thunderbird client slowing and crashing the program whenever I want to combine inboxes.

To this end I went to "Synchronization & Storage" and told it to "Synchronize the most recent 2 months" but it didn't delete the huge cluster of older emails. The next option is to tell TB to delete these emails in the same menu but as I understand it that would also delete them in the server, which I don't want to do for posteriority.

What do I do?

I can't seem to delete an old account on Thunderbird. It says it's a "special account" with no identity associated with it. Can someone help? I tried uninstalling and re-installing Thunderbird and the old account still appears.

I'm trying to set up a new protonmail account, too, and Thunderbird says it doesn't recognize the (correct) password. Is the old account causing the problem?

‘having lost my password for Thunderbird, is there any way that I can create a new one? My Thunderbird has not retained my old password. Please help as I prefer Thunderbird to other systems.’

I have a folder, called "important" showing up in my list of folders and it annoys me that some emails it contains never made it to my Inbox. Why does this folder exist and how can I get rid of it?

Hi there!

How can I see the full mail adress in my list of received emails (instead of just a name)? It's kind of a security issue, since everybody can just pick any name. My friend Robert can send me a mail showing his name is PayPal. It's an open door to scammers and deception!

It seems like there were add-ons in the past "Show Adress Only" or "Full Adress Column" but they're not supported by new Thunderbird versions.

How come an add-on is needed to show such a simple and already received information? There are so many things that can be displayed but this important one seems missing. I would feel much better if I could see the real mail adress for any mail received without having to click on it. Thunderbird would feel more professional.

Are there any other supported add-ons to enable it? Why doesn't Mozilla add this function?

Best regards

I need a button to get immediate check of my email inbox from my provider. The old button has been replaced b y a NON-FUNCTIONING button which offers the key alternative alt-1, which also DOES NOT WORK

When creating an email and typing the recipient in the "to" field, only 20 matching recipients are shown, the rest are not shown. How to remove or increase this restriction.

I have used Thunderbird email for many years. Starting today, I am not able to send an email. I get the following error message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: p-impout007.msg.pkvw.co.charter.net cmsmtp Connection Rejected - see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/24.106.196.86 AUP#Out-1220.

When I go to that web address, the web page says "Invalid Input".

What do I need to do to fix this problem? My email address is gbeale@ec.rr.com

I am unable to send emails using my thunderbird account from my OnlineBookClub addresses. I get the error message " The message could not be sent becauseconnecting to outgoingserver (SMTP) mail OnlineBookClub.org failed. The server may be availableor is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your outgoing server settings are correct and try again.

I am using Mediacom ISP. I can receive emails but cannot send them. I used 2 different outgoing servers- smpt.mediacombb.net port 465 and port 587. I get 2 different error messages when I try to send.

Sending of the message failed.  using port 587

An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: mcc-obgw-6001a.ext.cloudfilter.net cmsmtp ESMTP server temporarily not available AUP#DNS.

Sending of the message failed. using port 465 The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smpt.mediacombb.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP)correct and try again.

Do either of these help to explain the problem?

I have set up a number of Message Filters to automatically run when new email is recieved. None of the run automatically on new email. This is frustrating on it own however I can’t even run them manually on individual filters for the inbox. I have recently moved to Thunderbird for my primary mail client from Mac Mail and definitely like it better, but filters not working and working perfectly in Mac Mail makes it difficult to switch over completely.

The T'bird 115 with tabs has caused my problem. With 115.5.2 every email in my inbox and deleted box have been tabbed and extend for a huge number across the screen to the righthand side. Many have multiple copies of each email. Using web advice to turn off tabs which suggests use TOOLS / Options /Tabs to turn off tabs. There is no Options in my TOOLS drop down. Another solution is to right click in a space in the Tab bar then click Customise then look for the Tabs option. The Customise tool only gives option to add more buttons to the menu bar. I have avoided going back to an earlier version as I am worried I might lose information in the folders that I have created for important emails (ie insurance, warranties etc). I thought the Tabs was a good idea but it is not working for me. I would appreciate any suggestions.
