Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

I am unable to send emails. I am asked to enter my password and have tried many times. The instructions to enter my password just keeps repeating over and over. I am at a loss as to what to do. Any suggestions?

Somehow I moved many messages from [my account’s] Trash to Local Folders Trash and would like to restore them on a folder scale rather than moving each message - one by one. Nothing has been lost, just moved to an out of the way place. Thanks.

I've provided all of the other data, no problem. But the <Your login> field has only "YOURDOMAIN\yourusername" in it as a format hint. The field carries an Info symbol, but it's greyed out.

There are many possible domains, e.g. microsoft.com, office365.com, outlook.com, each with possible 3LDs, and the domain-name of the organisation that provides my account.

The most obvious (MYORGDOMAIN\Roger.Clarke) gets the error-message: > Authentication failed. Please check the username and password. (I checked, and they're the same as I use for a webmail login there).

Leaving it empty gets this error-message: > Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password. (That about covers the possibilities then ...).

I was forced to change the passwords on two of my accounts, one on yahoo.com and other on gmail.com after which they stopped working in Thunderbird after entering the new passwords. I completely deleted the accounts thinking I could add them again and they'd work.

They both act the same, so I'll just mention Yahoo. I successfully log in on the OAuth2 popup but Thunderbird returns the errors on yellow. I know the logging in is successful because I get a confirmation on my backup email "Your Yahoo account bogdan253 was used to sign in to a new third party application on thunderbird."

Gmail acts the same. Thunderbird is unusable at this moment, I will have to find another app if I can't fix this.

Hi! My BT Yahoo account was locked because someone had tried to access it 'without permission'

I changed my password and now its unlocked. Incoming & outgoing all OK on my phone and iPad. All the settings and new password OK on Thunderbird. I can get incoming mail, but I'm unable to send mail.

I have another Yahoo account on Thunderbird that's now suffering the same symptoms. Both work fine on the Desktop Yahoo app. I have a Gmail account that works OK on here.

I uninstalled/reinstalled one account but when reinstalling I get the message "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration username or password" but I'm sure it's all correct.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

Hello, My email signature does not work properly in Thunderbird. I'm using the html code shown below and in the attached screen shot image, and while the text displays properly, the image never displays (also shown in screenshot image). I tried a bunch of things I found in help for related threads, but nothing has worked so far. I have no issues with my signature in Google mail on my desktop or Apple mail on my iphone. It works perfectly on those email client. I'm using 115.6.0 with Build ID 20231215200246 on a Macbook Pro. Please advise.

The HTML display for incoming email seems to have broken between 10/21/2022 18:23 (which I believe to be the time of the 102.4.0 upgrade) and approximately 10/22/2022 (today) about 16:30. Is there any way to restore these as HTML display?

TB 102.6.1 (64-Bit), macOS, DE locale

TB macOS with GUI on extras "Filter" edit lacks scrollbar in sub-window thus making amending / editing of filters almost impossible on the macOS GUI of TB. This mishap was introduced in TB 102.6.x only recently, I presume.

Please consider correct and fix asap.

Question: How to reasonably edit the textual config file for TB filters in cases like this?

I have used Preclick Gold photo organizer for years to send photos via Thunderbird email. After updating Thunderbird today (12/22/22) I can no longer send photos. A message appears MAPI Error-2147467259. What can I do to fix this?

Hi Everyone: This is the first time I've ever gone to a "community" to ask for help. Please bear with me. I'm pretty simple minded and I am not a computer person. I was very happy with the old format. I would start an email, with another person or persons, and if the general topic was the same (such as a project I was working on with 1-2 people) I would use the "reply" or "reply all" to continue this string of e-mails. The recent changes now bring up different "tabs" at the top of the screen. This is very confusing and shows a series of emails that are generally not relevant to what needs to be addressed. It also does not always show who the current email is actually coming from. My question is: How can I go back to the old format. I found it simpler, easy to use, and more succinct.

When using ThunderBird to write an email message, if I delete part of the message, ThunderBird automatically places the deleted text in the Windows clipboard. Is there any way to stop this behavior?

I have 5 Thunderbird accounts. Four are through Google mail, but every time I update the Thunderbird service, Thunderbird doesn't accept the existing Gmail passwords. I have checked the Account settings. All is as it should be. Took a pic of the "trouble shooting" page and noticed that key Google items are missing. No Google Location Service Key, no Google SafeBrowsing key, no Mozilla Location Service key. Probably the problem. How to get them back?

Ok everything was working fine then I did something whilst I was deleting (one at a time) emails from a gmail account now some mails have no toolbar/infobar -see image 2 whereas some do -see image 1 also the mails when the toolbar is missing are now html which makes them pretty impossible to read its like the View Sourse has been put into the mail along with removing the toolbar The date on the mail is different on the mail toolbar than the folder -see image 2 Its really weird as its not affecting all mails in that folder just some I updated but no luck and cant find info on the web and view or account settings Any help greatly accepted

Windows 10 thunderbird 102.7.2

I was recently alerted by Tbird that I had been spoofed (I think it had been in 2021 but was certainly some time ago). I had problems with my BT email a short while ago due to a problem with SMTP which was successfully resolved and a new password applied. Since this was some time after the recorded pwning I assumed that the necessary change had been made. However, after months of no spoofing I am now receiving regular spoofs. Can the spoofers have been alerted by the pwning notice?

Please see screenshot -- the options for 'attachment status' are simply gone.. can't search by 'has attachment'?

Version is 102.1.0 (64-bit)

Thank you Gigi

Hi, new to TB and feel like I have most things working properly but I am unsure what this upward and left facing arrow is? It doesnt seem to be on the list of icons on the help pages. Thank you.

In my thunderbird "Unified Folders" inbox I have a folder "Mail for". I have no idea how this ended up here, but I can't find any account for it in my account settings and it keeps trying to connect to `test.imap.com` (notification shows up) - please, how do I remove this? (See images attached - as you can see, it lists 5 accounts but there is a 6th folder)
