Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

when I receive an email with an attachment, I cannot forward it to someone else without first saving the attachment to disk then recovering it and attaching to the new email.

I have been trying to install the lightning 3.3 add on for thunderbird 31.0. I get an error message that says "lightning 3.3 cannot be installed because firefox 31.0 is not compatible". I Use Linux Mint as my os.

Password not working, so can't pull up new emails. Undere Preferences, deleted all passwords in the hope that I would be prompted to enter a new password. No such luck. So now I have no password and no access to new emails. How do I add a new password?

I am trying to move my email from windows live mail to Thunderbird. I have three email accounts which i wish to set up. There does not seem to be any 'account setup button'. Is this achievable in some way ?

Thanks in advance for any advice

All of the read messages in my inbox suddenly disappeared. I didn't do anything to purposely do this. I searched for a recent read message and it was located showing the location of inbox. I changed the status to unread and it then appeared in the inbox. When I read new messages they change to read messages and stay displayed in the inbox as read but no old messages are displayed. So all of those old read messages are still available, so how do I get them displayed? Thanks Jerry

The Trash bin disappeared on one of my email accounts, so I restarted Thunderbird and it showed up but I can't delete messages. There's no error message or any sort of explanation the messages just sit in the inbox, still highlighed but not deleted.

I am trying to set up an out of office reply and all of the instructions that I have read say to use the "Message Filter" tab, but there isn't one on my toolbar. I can save a template but that is as far as I can go. Is there a way I can do this?

Thank you!!!

My server account was hacked overnight and I had to change the password. How do I change the password in Firefox because every time I want to send mail it now wants me to enter the password. (This was not the case before today). I have tried Tools>Account Settings>Server Settings but there is no dialog to change the password.

I can not send mail in ThunderBird sometimes.

It says: "The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server server name failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server setting is correct and try again, or else contact your network administrator. "

It occurs sometimes, not everytime. But really bad situation for me. I have Go daddy as email provider and ATT as internet provider Could you help me please abou this problem?

I think it used to happen when it was dealing with junk mail only and now I think it happens and freezes for 6 to 10 seconds every time it gets mail. And now finding it is slow to send even simple emails with not attachments. (5 sec. or more). I have lived with this for a long time and now need to deal with this annoying freeze.

Anyone having this problem?

Thanks Janice

Outlook 2007 has become very flaky as regards rules for sorting incoming email into folders, and Windows 10 had made it worse. I am considering switching to Thunderbird but want access to all my old emails. How do I import my email, address book, calendar, etc. (maybe not rules, i can reestablish those as things come in)? My computer is an HP Pavilion, 64-bit, recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10, 7G RAM.

Just installed Thunderbird. I can send email, but not receive them. My email server does receive them and the Server addresses are correct. Have tried all your suggestions to no avail. I have Windows 7 and use Goggle Chrome.

I was previously using Incredimail but all of a sudden it would not open. I uninstalled and re installed it but still would not open. I have uninstalled it when I downloaded Thunderbird.

I don't know what else to say. I did the update and when I couldn't open my emails I thought that maybe I needed to restart my computer and it's still happening. Any Ideas? I need very basic instructions to fix this please.

I have three email address, all bellsouth.net domains. If I go to the AT&T Yahoo site I can login to all three addresses without a problem. Therefore I know I have a good password and the accounts are not locked.

Last fall I lost access to all three email accounts via Thunderbird. AT&T support told me I had to establish a secure 16 character password and convert to from POP3 to IMAP servers (this proved untrue as POP3 still works). After much effort I converted all three addresses to IMAP and regained access. A few months ago one of the three address suddenly would not login via Thunderbird. AT&T technical support proved no help resolving this problem even after hours of telephone time. I can still reliably log into this account via AT&Ts Yahoo site but not via an email client like Thunderbird or OE Express. On both clients I tried both POP3 and IMAP logins, and although both work for the other two accounts, nothing works for the one problem account. Thunderbird gives the following message when I try to log in "Login to server imap.mail.att.net with username xxxxxx@bellsouth.net failed.". I used both the original password that works with Yahoo and the 16 character secure password, with the same result. I also checked the settings multiple times.

I tried everything I can think of without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
