Forum zgromaźeństwa Thunderbird

I am not able to send emails I have checked all my SMTA settings I am running version 147 and this just began on 1/26. I have turned off anti virus, run in safe mode and nothing works. I can send emails from my phone and using the provider webmail but not on my laptop. This is the msg I get

' 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.

I tried unticking enable and it did NOT work. Help! I want the stupid filter gone. I have struggled for two years with the junk filter which does not work right. I have done shift J. The filter does NOT learn. A week aog, I saw that I could uncheck enable and that was supposed to stop the filter. That also did NOT work.

Today, an email I forwarded to myself from another platform went in junk. I never wanted any junk filter. It has been nothing but trouble and now I can't even disable it.

I recently updated the computers at my shop. My shop uses an older program Mitchell 1 to process and organize invoices. I have used Thunderbird to email invoice pdfs for the longest time but now after updating I get “ERROR SENDING EMAIL. MAPI RETURNED -2147467259” it’s my understanding MAPI is outdated but I figured Thunderbird would still support this function.

Hi All,

I have three different email accounts. In my main gmail account, if I double-click on a template, it opens up in a new email with the content of the template already in there (which is how I want it to behave.) In my other two accounts, double-clicking a template just opens a new tab with the contents of the template displayed, as it would if I double-clicked any email in my inbox.

I've been through the settings, comparing them for all three accounts, and I can find no difference anywhere. Right-clicking on the Template folder offers no obvious path to follow, nor does right-clicking on the template itself.

Any ideas why the difference in behavior, and/or suggestions on how to change the not-gmail account so it behaves the same way as the gmail account (double-click opens new pre-filled email) ??

Thanks!!!

my problem started when I got greedy and highlighted too much mail in gmail for deletion. There was warning but I wasn't worried about the time but that was 2 days ago Now when I open thunderbird it comes up twice but 1 not responding in task manager. I have deleted the programme twice but when the new install tries to open it's the same thing. I have 7 or so accounts and thunderbird works fine for me. I bought a copy of office from microsoft but the outlook didn't open the pst file(not happy) but I am happier with thunderbird. as I used it many years ago Any help suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am in Aus btw

I have a windows 11 pc with thunderbird 147 installed. It worked until Jan 16th, 2026. I added the account to my Linux pc that has thunderbird 140.5 ESR inststalled and it works fine with the account from the windows 11 pc.

Thunderbird is reporting error "could not connect to server . . . the connection was refused." However, it seems that it reports this error only when there is no new incoming message. And it does not happen consistently.

Thunderbird is version 147.0. Operating system is the current version of Windows 11 on an HP desktop workstation, new 4 months ago.

I have 4 email accounts set up in Thunderbird. Server settings for the accounts are set to check for new messages at startup and at intervals of 5 to 10 minutes depending on the account and to automatically download new messages. I have confirmed the server settings for the accounts match the settings specified by the ISP. When there is a new message to be downloaded it seems that it does, in fact, connect automatically to the server and download when Thunderbird does its check for new messages at startup or specified intervals.

When I have open the Inbox for an account and click on the "Get Messages" icon or right-click on the account name and then click on "Get Messages" I usually promptly see at the bottom of the window the messages "Host contacted . . . sending login information . . . Checking inbox for new messages . . . there are no new messages to download." That is true even if I do that within seconds of receiving the "could not connect" error. But sometimes there is a delay of many seconds before the "host contacted . . ." message, and occasionally I never get that response to the click to get messages. When I click to "get messages" I never see the "could not connect" error even if the "host contacted" message does not appear.

I have set to show an alert and play a sound when new messages arrive. The same sound is played when the "could not connect to server . . ." error is displayed. The result is the sound may be played every 5-10 minutes. I can tell that this issue does not happen consistently because I might go for several hours, or even all day, without the sound and without the error message. The occurrence or absence of the error seems to be completely random and unrelated to what I may have open on the computer.

Since I do seem to be receiving messages without a delay in delivery this is perhaps no more than an annoyance, but I would prefer to avoid the annoyance. This is not happening on other computers here which are using Thunderbird.

We have Thunderbird installed on 2 computers and, for the last 3 days, we have been to receive, but not send email. We can log in to our email provider online and send from there with no problem, so it's strictly a Thunderbird issue. We use Graceba/WoW for our email/internet, windows firewall, PC Matic AntiVirus, Windows 11, and Thunderbird version 147.0 (this information is the same for both computers). When we try to send an email with Thunderbird, the following error message pops up: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.graceba.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." Our outgoing server settings are correct; nothing has changed and no updates have been done. Something happened over the course of a day 3 days ago (it was fine in the morning and not fine in the afternoon) that caused us to not be able to send email. Please help!
