Thunderbird Support Forum

Dear

Subject to the following mail addresses: gunter.peeters@scarlet.be

We keep getting the following message when sending emails. An error occurred while sending email. The mail server replied: ip 213.49.30.104 blocked for relaying spam http://www.scarlet.be/pm/?e=f53&s=r&p=213.49.30.104. Please check if your email address is set correctly in your account settings and try again.

We are able to receive emails.

Is it possible to check this out?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards Gunter Peeters

After updating to Thunderbird version 115.12.2(32 bit) two days ago, I can no longer send emails. I get an error message "Authentification error (VM401)" I use Virgin Media. I can receive emails OK. I have not changed any server settings for a long time. I have been in touch with Virgin Media, they say the problem is with Thunderbird as I can send emails from on their one line system. I can also send emails from my Android phone. Any help would be appreciated.

Verzenden van het bericht is mislukt. Er is een fout opgetreden bij het verzenden van e-mail. De mailserver antwoordde: Unable to relay without authentication.. Controleer of uw e-mailadres juist is ingesteld in uw accountinstellingen en probeer het opnieuw.

I occasionally get a Authentication Failed to Server (Outlook.com) and when it occurs it continues for 1-5 minutes then goes away again.

Is there any error logging proceedure that I can set up to see what the exact issue is?

I've tried running a parallel alternative email client (eM Client) and that doesn't seem to suffer in the same way, but I much prefer Thunderbird so would like to find out what the problem is.

Attachments in pdf format are covered with green color. The color disappears, for example, when I open printing setup window. I have arleady repaired the folder and fully reinstalled thunderbird. Do you have any ideas how to repair it?

I'm grateful that I've been able to use Thunderbird for free up until now. I wouldn't mind making a small donation. However, Thunderbird's email service is currently unavailable. Received emails are not displayed in the inbox. All previous history has also been erased. First of all, I would like your cooperation in fixing the current problem and restoring the system to its previous state. I will make a donation as soon as the system is restored. If the system cannot be restored without a donation, you can make a donation first. I look forward to your reply.

"Sending of password for user joebernard@verizon.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.verizon.net responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later"

^^This message comes up every time I try to send an email. It can be received outside of Thunderbird and to other addresses.

I get the pop up that includes Add Security Exception

 You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site.

Legitimate banks, stores, and other public sites will not ask You to do this. Location:

This site attempts to identify itself with invalid Information. Unknown Identity The certificate is not trusted because it hasn’t been verified as issued by a trusted authority using a secure signature.

I am in Australia and Optus is my email provider. They have checked all is working at their end and suggest I contact Thunderbird which is why I am here.

Thanking you for trying to help

My e-mails fail to be delivered to my inbox immediately. They are held up somehow and then suddenly appear days later as a batch of them as though they have been held in a storage box.

When I restart Mozilla Thunderbird, my S/MIME certificate preferences under Account Settings seem to break.

When I initially select a certificate, both the common name/certificate name and the certificate fingerprint appear in the interface (see Working Settings.png). However, after restarting Thunderbird, only the common name/certificate name appears in the interface, and I cannot use S/MIME to sign messages (see Broken Settings.png). When I attempt to do so, I receive the following error message:

Send Message Error Sending of the message failed. You specified that this message should be digitally signed, but the application either failed to find the signing certificate specified in your Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings, or the certificate has expired.

To be clear, Thunderbird has no problem finding and using the certificate right after I set it—the problem only appears when I restart Thunderbird and the appearance of the certificate in the settings changes. The certificate does not expire until April 2025, so this is not the issue. The issue also occurs with another account using a different certificate that is also unexpired.

I am using Thunderbird 115.12.2 (64-bit ESR) on MacOS with Apple Silicon.

Hello,

My friend recently encountered an issue where he can no longer send email messages. Suddenly, all the buttons in the "Message" tab, except for "Create," became disabled. Additionally, the "Send" related buttons in the message creation window have disappeared.

I attempted to restore these buttons using Alt -> Toolbox, as suggested by similar questions. While the buttons do reappear in the toolbox view, they vanish again once I exit that view. All outgoing servers are configured correctly, and this setup has worked for several years without any problems. It seems that something is now blocking the ability to send emails.

We also tried updating and reinstalling the Thunderbird client, but nothing has resolved the issue.

Attached, you will find images of the disabled menus and proof of the correctly configured outgoing servers. Apologies for the software being in Russian; I hope it's still clear which buttons are disabled since the interface layout is the same.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated! Thank you.

Hi!

I realised that Thunderbird keeps deleting my messages in every account from the trash folder. I didn't change any of the settings and I checked them again - as you can see in the screenshot, the settings say to not delete messages in the trash. It's a catastrophe, because I've lost messages that I had to check again.

-> Is there any way to restore messages that Thunderbird deleted without my permission? -> Is there any way to make sure that Thunderbird does not delete messages any more?

Thank you!

Version: 115.3.1 on a Mac

Hello, When I try to add my Gmail account into thunderbird, it goes this way : - enter my id and PWD - continue : IMAP and SMTP servers are automatically detected - continue : I am redirected to a google sign in window where my id is already filled. - continue : instead of asking my PWD, Google sends a 400 bad request error.

How can I add my Gmail address?

Thank you. Juliette

Hi,

I am running thunderbird-115.12.2-1 and Arch Linux and have the following Problem:

- I am using Unified Folders - Online search is disabled - If I change the view in any Unified Folder with more than 1 source folder to grouped by Thunderbird freezes and sometimes crashes - It does not matter what the sort by value is - Any time I switch from a not grouped by unified folder back to grouped by Thunderbird freezes and crashes sometimes again - The length of the freeze depends on the numbers of source folders for the unified folder. E.g. for my Inbox with 11 source folders between 5 and 10 minutes

I already tried - disable all addons - clear the disk cache - set mail.server.default.use_condstore to true - delete global-messages-db.sqlite

https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/y795od/comment/jwk1kyp/

Right now the group by feature is not usable for me but makes it so much more clearer that I don't want to miss it.

Can you help me ?

Recently I've had problems with the SMTP server refusing to send my e-mails, I am still being able to recieve them however. When choosing to enter a new window the window where you should put your passwords appear and dissapear at the same time. I've never experienced this kind of problems before. I even removed the account and the smtp account and re-added them back again to see if it would help but to no avail.

I am following the article from Mozilla called Microsoft OAuth Authentication and Thunderbird in 2024. But still it won't work.
