Forum zgromaźeństwa Thunderbird

Bonjour, J'ai Thunderbird depuis très longtemps et j'ai toujours pris l'habitude de stocker tous mes mails dans le répertoire "Dossiers locaux" qui se trouvait toujours sur un HDD différent de celui ou était installé Thunderbird. A chaque nouvelle installation de Thunderbird, je renseignais le chemin ou était stocké "Dossiers Locaux" et hop en 30s, j'avais tous mes messages archivés depuis des années. Je viens de changer de version de Ubuntu (24.04.3 LTS) et la nouveau Thunderbird (140.7.1 esr), donc comme d'habitude je renseigne le chemin de mon répertoire local "Dossiers Locaux" mais rien ne remonte dans Thunderbird ? J'ai essayé (bidouillé) plein de petits trucs sans succès et je ne m'en sort pas ! Pouvez-vous svp me renseigner ?

Hello there - I just changed my gmail password. I deleted the existing Thunderbird account for that gmail and created a new one. I accept the imap discovery and get the login error because it appears to be using my old gmail password. How do I get thunderbird to allow me to update the password to send for authentication? Thank you!!

Is it possible to copy just the Mail folder from a Thunderbird Profile backup in Time Machine on Mac? I have deleted an email account from Thunderbird and I did not tick Delete Data so the emails are still there in my Profile but they no longer show up in the tree in Thunderbird on my Mac ( OS 14.8 Sonoma). I had a lot of subfolders into which I had put incoming and sent emails on particular topics. For example I had a folder called Family, and inside that I had a subfolder called Birthdays as well as many other family related topics. My last Time Machine back up is about a month ago but that would be good enough to restore from. I tried ‘Import’ in Thunderbird but it only imported the main folders and the emails within but not the subfolders. I have another email address besides the deleted one and if I overwrite the whole Profile with the older one from Time Machine it will lose a lot of new stuff accumulated since that backup. Any help most appreciated

Well Bugs Are Back In Spades With ThunderbirdTurd!!

With THREE of my Email Accounts (2 Gmail and 1 Hotmail) Thunderbird Keeps Returning Mail To SPAM After I Mark It NOT SPAM!! ...... Over And Over and Over And Over and Over AGAIN!!

I've Contacted BOTH Gmail and Outlook Tech Support, And BOTH Are Blaming YOU Mozilla!!

WTH is Going On??? Fix This, Mozilla ThunderTURD !!!

Under my main email account in Thunderbird there are two Spam folders. I don't know how a second one was created but I'd like to delete it. When I right-click each Spam folder, only one has a Delete option, but when I select it, the Spam folder doesn't get deleted. How can I delete the extra Spam folder? thanks.

using thinderbird and export we could have calendar.ics and calendar.html now it is impossible to save in html. please help. It was so perfect the calendar saved in html, so we could print all the data perfectly Now the results says that error happen and olny ics type can work

So, from time to time I need to find a sent email, it is not in my sent folder, I check my settings and there it is, I then set it to use my sent folder on the IMAP server, this works for a while, but then seems the next time I want to find something in the sent folder it has reverted back. Any Thoughts?

This is what I get when I click on email link. I can't delete it. This has to be solved before I can get to my second problem https://webmail.spectrum.net/mail? context_token=eyJza3NpZCI6ImNvbnRleHRfdG9rZW5fc2lnbl9rZXlzZXQiLCJza2lkIjoiNmJkYzZiMTEtZjBiZS00ZGFlLTliOWUtY2RkMGMyNWE5ZmUyXzIwMjAtMDEtMjRUMDcuNDIuNDQuMzQwWiIsInNlY3BvbCI6ImNvbnRleHRfdG9rZW4iLCJraWQiOiI2YmRjNmIxMS1mMGJlLTRkYWUtOWI5ZS1jZGQwYzI1YTlmZTJfMjAyMC0wMS0yNFQwNy40Mi40NC4zNDBaIiwia2V5VHlwZSI6IlJTQSIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2IiwianRpIjoiYWU2MzMwZDYtNTBlZi00Mjk3LThlOTMtZDUxOWVjZmMxMjdkIn0.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.SkxhnFtRLxHTpXXn5_kDX8nBISuPu3wdpoNFwTKLtmUadL29D40rNMHlmEOOa2LbGFVi8qlEWnscUMV8WXGLF02RFhSsEMFtBbXGpB9XUy6q_YW5FRJo1su5AJxboh1LMastJ39rdqnooQsnvA5_Mmy4NDBZrb1bQCmzXn3wiLsiBDMxorQ8Kk45CEWL6Bz09Z8EltuEQ2yVN3FGTGqAeU2i5-qNv12kzgimIu4TbDyE2DIi6_AKenLGc1kXlcZ8oxGjUEbJm1AThmpNbGF9WJ7d55_JQyfGWvEMIYNOtAiPaNNRCF1AlcBP3TAH34L1uI49Ve6C0SvidbRu2jYDuQ&referrerAppVisitId=202601311716P-753ab3c2-c22c-44cd-865d-2b77307fabfa&referrerAppName=SpecNet&referrerAppType=Web

My thunderbird email is broken and I cannot interpret the error message. I found a similar problem at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1281109, but I have not been able to follow the solution.

The error message is:

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) promail.ptd.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

When I access my email at ptd.net, using firefox, I can make a full connect. But I cannot connect to email using Thunderbird, which is my preferred email tool.

My hope is to have a dialog in this thread with someone who can walk me through the steps to get thunderbird working. Can someone help?

I have removed an iCloud account from Thunderbird but it keeps asking for the password, I have tried removing all references to the account that I can find including the calendar. Any ideas? Thanks

Messages that I have moved to Archive have totally vanished. A message which I needed to keep I found in 'deleted'. I then moved it to Archive - and it vanished altogether. I do not feel in control of this new Thunderbird! Please, is there any way of getting this message back?

Thunderbird has worked great for a couple of years. Recently, I kept getting the “Retry” prompt...sometimes two or three times before it would download my email from the server (windstream.net). Now I get nothing. It still goes through the "connecting...blah blah blah but nothing happens. Going to the windstream.net site works but sucks. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have been using Tbird for years. I currently have 3 email accounts, an icloud and two gmail. One gmail account is personal, the other is a personal account but used by 3 people for a committee we're on. The first two accounts are ok but the committee account has lost most of its messages at gmail, but they still seem to be on my computer.

Despite having used T'bird for a long time I still need detailed instructions in how to proceed to put the messages back onto the gmail account, hopefully without touching the other two accounts

Sorry - I feel as though I'm monopolising this forum at the moment!

In my Menu bar, I have Delete, but, using this, I can only delete emails from the Unified list, not individual accounts. I CAN delete from individual accounts if I select the email, right click and select delete. Seems odd

No new emails appear to have been downloaded since 12.00 GMT on 27.01.26.

Size of file on disc suggests they are there but not displaying.

Downloads working fine on iPhone and iPad.

This has been happening for a long long time - probably a few years' worth of versions. I have just put up with it... currently running Tbird 147 and it just happened.

When editing an email (either the body or the Subject), if you use the backspace button (the one that deletes to the left) to delete some text sometimes the cursor will incorrectly be positioned about 5 or 6 characters further left than it should.

For example, if I had the text: "Quick brown fox jumps over the moon"

If I were to highlight "fox" in the above example, and hit backspace, I would expect the cursor to end up positioned between the remaining spaces after 'brown' ( pipe symbol here is meant to represent the cursor position): "brown | jumps"

But instead what happens is that the cursor ends up somewhere among/before the word "brown". It's always further left than it should be, by 5 or 6 characters.

I believe it only happens when highlighting multiple characters and then hitting backspace. It may be more (only?) prevalent when editing/replying to an existing email. (But I'm still only editing the new portions that I add at the top of the email; I'm almost never editing in amongst the original quoted email content.)

I also haven't ever been able to figure out how to make it happen, sorry. It is just random...It will happen once in an email, but then not again. But it happens frequently - 3-6 times a day perhaps. (Depends on how many emails I am editing.  :) )

I don't believe that I have noticed this issue if I were using the Delete button (deletes things to the right). I don't think it happens when backspacing one character at a time...but it might. I also use Option-Backspace to delete whole words at a time (instead of highlighting the word); not exactly sure if it happens only if highlighting a word, or only if Option-Backspace, or single key press... sorry, it is so random and unexpected that I don't have more specifics.
