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.

My Thunderbird email app quit receiving new messages 6/13/2023 and I've had to use a different way to get emails on my laptop (note that it works fine on my pc) I finally got around to searching for answers and noticed a Mozilla Support thread that mentioned if the Connection Security is turned to NONE then messages are received. This worked for me too, but it doesn't feel safe to keep the security turned off. What can I do?

Hi, I get sextorsion mails now and then (blackmail which claims to be sent from my own mail account). These I routinely move to a folder for scam mails together with Nigeria letters and what else I get. There are quite a lot of mails in that folder now! A few days ago I wanted to do some statistics on all these mails, and to my great wonder, all sextorsion mails, save one, have disappeared from that folder. All other kinds of spurious mails seem to remain. Are there anything in Thunderbird that automatically do away with that kind of mail? One of the mails contained nothing but a screenshot, so it did not even have text that could trigger a delete. Kind regards, and a happy new year to you all, Carl Ejnar Nielsen

Hallo, wir haben einen neuen Mail-Anbieter und bei diesem heisst der "Gesendet"-Ordner in de XLIST "Sent Items" und wird nicht ins deutsche übersetzt. Wenn der Ordner "Sent" heisst wird dieser sauber übersetzt (von anderen Anbietern). Wäre es möglich "Sent Items" auf dei XLIST zu übernehmen, so dass dieser auch in "Gesendet" übersetzt wird?

Vielen Dank!

I have tried for years to get my main email address to work in thunderbird. I have 3 email accounts, two work great but my main one creber887@sbcglobal.net just keeps giving me server errors. I have no problems in firefox on yahoo. It is frustrating. It happens in windows and linux. Please help. Clark Creber

I used to be able to print my usernames and password list. I can only see it in an abbreviated form using the latest Thunderbird revision (with Microsoft). Any suggestions?

Server at mailin.telia.com will not accept my new passwords for two of my accounts, and does not ask for password, when trying to gett mail via Thunderbird. Webmail and Mail in iOS on iPad works problemfree. Is there no place in Settings for Thunderbird where I can put in password? Haven't found any. So far T has always asked for PW when new account. Never had a problem before.

Thunderbird 115.2.1 for MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 on iMac (mid 2011)

Please help! Out of the blue Thunderbird is saying my password failed. I did not do anything at all to make this happen. It has worked fine for years. But now I am unable to get in. I have spent hours trying to change the password and now I am lost in confusion. Nothing is working. I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird. Still cannot get in. What can I do? How do I know when someone answers this? I cannot get email.

Hello,

I want to install a lock on my mailbox. I thought two factor authentication is the best way to do so. However, I do not see any info about 2fa and Thunderbird. What I do see is: info about Open PGP key and S-MIME certificats to encrypt messages. I think both adds to security, however, it appears to me that the 2fa is the real lock and encrypting messages is useful in case the lock hasn't worked well: the messages can be read by a third person, but not understood. Is that right? And do I understand it correctly that there's no 2FA option for thunderbird? Is encrypting messages as safe and convenient as 2FA?

Hopefully someone could help me out...I'm a non-techie as you might already assume;), hopefully this can be taken into account..

Thanks! Simone

Hi, I did put a sender of a daily newsletter in the address book. I did use "Mark as Not Junk" with every newsletter of that sender in the last couple of months. . But Thunderbird always and every day lists the newsletter as Junk. (the sender is Smithsonian Magazine) So training the Junk filter does not work. How to change this failure of Thunderbird? Thanks for your attention and answer.

Outlook Mail no longer working on TB. I am using the latest Supernova update. Had to revert to POP which I prefer not to do. Is anyone else experiencing same? Hope this can be resolved.
