Forum zgromaźeństwa Thunderbird

I have a Yahoo email address I would like to add to my Thunderbird app on Win11.

The issue is my ISP (www.rogers.com) also uses the www.mail.yahoo.com servers and I cannot add the Yahoo email as Rogers takes over the OAuth2 authentication.

The yahoo email is completely unrelated to my ISP.

I tried to generate an "app password" in Yahoo security but Yahoo's system seems to be broken.

I can't be the only one having this issue.

How do I add my yahoo email to thunderbird without Rogers screwing with the authentication?

Thanks in advance.

My Sent folder disappeared. How do I restore the folder with the sent messages still intact. Or, at the least, just restore an empty Sent folder. The In-Box, Drafts, and Trash are still there.

All the settings are correct, and it seems that because there's no Sent folder I cannot send an email. When I try to send a message I get the attached Error.

My local phone company routes email through Yahoo Mail, then to Thunderbird. It was all working fine until my Sent folder disappeared. Now because of the missing Sent folder I have to create the email message in Thunderbird saving it in Drafts so I have a record. Then, I have to copy it and send it from Yahoo Mail. Needless to say this is a pain in the you know what.

Can someone please provide the instructions to get my Sent folder back?

Thanks,

Tess

According to the Thunderbird 136 Release Notes there is a new Appearance" Settings UI to globally control message threading/sorting order.' How do I find this setting?

When I login, I receive the message, "the certificate for mail.bdmdata.com is not valid" and I cannot send or receive emails. I am using IMAP. I currently have to use jeffbdmdata@yahoo.com'

Google Mail is telling me I have to fix my password in Thunderbird. I can't see a function to do that. I did the Thunderbird method, and I did the Google method. Nothing happens. I hate Google securities! But this used to be easier. If the auto sign in did not link, it just asked for the password. Now I am expected to be a technician.

At work, we use one account on multiple devices. When searching for emails, the searched content is not displayed the same on all devices. One device searches for an email correctly, but another device does not. Can you help me with the problem? Thank you

Hello,

Thunderbird 128.8.0esr - Win 10

SSL/TLS and OAuth2 - POP mail server.

I cannot get TB to remove saved passwords. It's been happening for a year now, and the 'remove saved passwords' option simply does not work. It doesn't matter how many times I try, the passwords keep coming back and new messages download every time I open the program. (I'm not using a primary password). Sometimes I'll get the 'Thunderbird wants to access your Gmail account' pop-up, and clicking 'Allow' downloads my new messages.

Is there a way to delete the passwords from the profile folder?

(I've looked hard for a solution to this before submitting my question, but no luck.)

Many thanks indeed!

I am using domain forwarding through forwardemail.net

What do I use for an email address setup in Thunderbird.

Thunderbird requires and email address. I do not have an email provider.

Hi there

I have forgotten my Modzila Thunderbird e-mail primary password on my windows laptop, as I have been using the app for awhile without having to input the password for quite awhile now. I have entered a few times a few alternatives but could not remember it.

It does not give me any options to recover / reset the password nor it informs me if I have locked the account.

Not sure what to do here, any help?

Today is the first day using your latest update of Thunderbird (128.2.3esr (64-bit)) and I have been experiencing problems. In certain conditions when I am either editing a new email or receiving email, an email in my Drafts folder is Sent without my clicking SEND. No record of the sending exists in the SENT folder but the intended recipient has received it. In a second problem, the Correspondent in a mailbox has been edited to that ALL the email in the mailbox shows that Correspondent being the sender. I claim you have bugs in this release.

"mailbox full" - successfully archived ALL folders - senders still receive "mailbox full" message - cannot receive email. This is not on my gmail account which I am using in order to receive response.

Please can anyone tell me how to find my Thunderbird e-mail password? I'm trying to understand how mozilla thunderbird works because my late husband set them up but I've been hours trying to find them and getting nowhere! But I can't get into e-mail to know when someone might answer!

This is not a question. It is a statement of issues. I recently bought a new computer and tried to install Thunderbird on my new system. The installation went fine. The setup was one problem after another. Thunderbird required multiple attempts to connect with Outlook and sync my account. Next, I tried to import my contacts. Thunderbird failed numerous attempts to sync contacts. I finally had to manually import my contacts. Then spent an hour manually cleaning up my contacts. Thunderbird seems to have randomly assigned field names. (Names imported as numbers or dates) In addition, it imported contacts without associated data. (No email address, phone numbers etc.) After all that, Thunderbird would not allow me to use any of the contacts. The address book is there, the contacts are there, but it would not reference the address book when I tried to send an email. I had to go to the address book, copy the email and paste it into the to: field.

Next, I tried to create events and tasks. First problem, all calendars were disabled by default and no option was offered to enable the calendars. I spent another 45 min. trying to find a setting or something to enable the calendars. When I finally got them enabled, I spent another hour trying to get Thunderbird to create events and tasks. Thunderbird will not create either. I spent far more time than is rational to create each event and task. When I completed each attempt, Thunderbird trashed them. No event or task was ever created. At this point I uninstalled Thunderbird and wrote it off as a bad idea.

Folks, I am not new to this. I have been using similar apps since their early days. I know how to install and setup these apps. I am very familiar with the problems that may be encountered. And this far worse than anything I have seen in a long time. I do not know what is going on at Mozilla, but they have got some serious problems to work out. I will steer clear of Thunderbird for now.

Loss of data is always a bear and the 'procedures to recover lost emails' don't always work as designed

The first concern is emails I save in local folders with topic labels.... they are saved for documentation purposes and to be able to refer to them without saving them in the account 'new' mail folder.

The second concern is the 'address book'

Now, the big one - How can I save these 2 items in an automatic backup drive? I have a thumb drive and have downloaded their program and instructions. The BIG question is what files do I identify to be backed up every time something changes - the original email file, new emails, the original address book file and every time an entry is changed in some way ?

Big thanks - a solution can save lots of money at drug stores!

I have accidentally deleted the folder for thunderbird portable that was on a USB drive. There is no recycle bin on the drive and I haven't written anything to it since I realised my mistake. Is there and easy way to recover everything?
