Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

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?

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."

I have switched to work remotely and have transferred all my Thunderbird settings from my PC to my laptop.

I got to my new remote work place and can't receive any emails using my accounts set up in Thunderbird.

It is the same whether I use Gmail, Outlook or Yahoo.

I have tried many things but basically have taken all defaults for setting up email accounts. I am using Windows 11 Home and I am not going through a VPN. My Thunderbird version is 115.3.3 (64-bit)

For example for Gmail I get:

Non-overridable TLS error occurred. Handshake error or probably the TLS version or certificate used by server imap.gmail.com is incompatible.

Am I doing something wrong?

Good morning.

I would like to move the "Move to" icon (ex. #1 in the snapshot - please see attached snapshot) to the position of the other icons are located on the taskbar (ex. #2 in the snapshot). In other words, the "Move to" icon is not where I want it to be. I would like to see it next to the other icons. Please w

Thank you

My Thunderbird emails are fine directly on my laptop, but when I attach an external monitor everything becomes to pixelated I cannot easily read my email If I restart Thunderbird in Troubleshoot Mode with no addons or themes, it gets much better, but I use the add ons!

When will you fix (Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.)

I am waiting for emails from Toronto Hospital and the emails not working. Please fix.

In the German article "News in Thunderbird Version 102" is stated that I can get a colored picture when selecting "Rich Text". I find no possibility of selecting "rich text". Where is it?

I am on Version 115.4.1

Thanks in advance!

My son's email address has been in my Address Book for years with no problems. Recently his emails have been going to Trash. His are the only ones going to Trash. How do I correct the problem?

I'm a newbe Thunderbird user making the transition from Outlook which I've used for years but recently discovered is too compromising especially when it comes to archiving. Have been using Mozilla for years on a Surface laptop (windows 11), Cyberpower desktop (windows 10), and Android Note 20. I've downloaded Thunderbird and it is working fine. Where can I find user training videos for Thundbird, especially archiving? Are there other ways besides on-line gifting in which I can contribute to the research that makes Mozilla and Thunderbird possible? Thank you.

Unable to email GMail accounts. Error below:

Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM

After some basic research, it was suggested that the Outgoing Server should be set to Oath2 but I am unable to change this.

-hi friends,

I am desperately trying to import a contact book into TB. In CSV format. All I get get is 100's of unreadable records. My version of TB is 115.4.3 (latest). The import tool provides no info whatsoever about the CSV format. I found a bit of info about the format on Mozilla. I only need a few fields for the record. First Name, Last Name, Home Email, Work Email. These are supposed to be field numbers 1,2,5,6. I made a CSV file according to this, but import is as said impossible. Has anyone had any luck with this? regards /peter

Hi,

I am running out of space in my email account. Is it possible to export specific folders of emails out, so that I can delete those folders (and the emails in them) to make some space. I don't want to do a full export out, just those specific folders, so that if I ever need to refer back to those emails, I can import just those back in.

Is this something that can be done?

Thank you.
