Tuesday Oct. 7, our ISP converted to a new e-mail program. I could NOT log in/on I called our ISP's help desk. The 'technician' could not help me log in to our Thunderbird POP 3 account. He had me, WITHOUT asking if I had essential - legal - medical-etc. e-mails in the IN BOX or in folders! He NEVER warned/cautioned all ?would? be lost - GONE.

I URGENTLY need to recover all TB POP3 IN BOX & e-mails in folders. I need to access legal messages today, if possible.

If Mozilla does not have a recovery program, what do I do? I am not seeking to recover ' deleted messages (unless his having me change from the POP3 account to a 'new' IMAP account is the same as ' "delete" '.

Any & all prompt responses APPRECIATED! Remain WELL & Be SAFE!

Can someone explain why the emails I write are still spell-checked, even though I have unchecked "Check spelling before sending message" and "Check spelling continuously" in "Settings" countless times? Even the Thunderbird add-on "Replywithheader" still checks spelling, even though I have unchecked "spell-check" there too. I don't want spell-checking, but I can't get away from it! It really bothers me.

Hi ... I have carefully followed the instructions but when Icopy and paste ihe file involved - it seems to transfer - but NO PROMPT to overwrite appears. What might I be doing wrong?

I'm unable to access one of my email accounts on Thunderbird. I put in all the correct settings multiple times and it keeps telling me I must have the wrong configuration.

I can't access an MSN.com account, but I managed to do so with two other accounts. I've already deleted it twice and tried again, and the password is correct. Can you help me?

je n'arrive pas a accéder a un compte msn.com pourtant j'ai réussie avec 2 autre compte.j'ai deja supprimer 2 fois et réessayer et le mot de passe est correcte. pouvez vous m'aider ?

When attempting to access my emails on Mozilla Thunderbird i am met with a text box prompting me for my password, when I enter the password it informs me that is it unable to connect to the server. following guides online for similair issues it encourages you to change your authentication to "Oauth2" however this option does not appear for me and all relevant responses on here are in regards to microsoft accounts whilst my account is from a custom domain. Any help would be appreciated as it is a great inconvenience to not have access to my email.

Bonjour, récemment j'ai dû reinitialiser windows 11, j'avais fait un backup avec ashampoo backup. Après reinstallation de thunderbird, je voudrais restaurer le donnés et surtout les archives. J'ai restauré les données dans de profile, mais je ne vois pas les anciens messages ,calenders et contacts. J'ai lus dans les forums , de recharger la version 141, pas de succès. J'ai lu aussi d'effacer global-message-db.sqlite , pas de succés. Que doit je restaurer, et dans quel version ? Merci pour votre aide. André

Starting yesterday, cannot send E mils messages. Mediacom, my Internet provider says it is a server problem with E mail provider. Message started a "abusive practice- SMTP failure then changed to ESMTP after following provider's tech advice and emptied all JUNK. Now Monday AM---same situation---receiving E mail but cannot reply---will not send. Thank you Vic

I have recently installed Thunderbird on a Raspberry-Pi - additional to several Windows PCs

I'm using the same Mail-Adresses via Thunderbird - and on my MobilePhone - on serveral devices.

This all works fine...

But Thunderbird on the Pi has created two "SENT" Folders - one is named "Sent Items" - the other just "sent".

Now - only the one folder named "Sent items" connects with the IMAP - the one named "Sent" only remains local - Mails sent from the PI DO NOT show up in the "Sent" folders on the other devices - all mails sent from other devices show up in the Folder "Sent Items". But the Mails sent from the Pi actually reach recipients and receive answers.

The Location for the folders is listed under properties as:

imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent (on the PI) - folder "Sent" imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent%20Items (on the PI) - folder "Sent Items" and imap://[username]@imaps.[provider]/Sent Items (under Windows)

To solve the Problem, I tried to EDIT the line Location under properties, but this can't be edited (doesn't allow entries - or delete with cursor - nor pastes from Copy / Paste.)

So how can I synchronize the SENT folder(s) from the Pi with the Server...?

Thank you for any suggestions

How can I change cities in the weather feature? I insert a different zip code or city in the temperature feature but it stays with LA. I can change from F to C but not location.

Using140.3.1 I have only one email address/account & it has worked happily with TB for several years, but recently all my incoming emails are marked as "this is a draft".

I cannot identify what has been changed, that could cause this, nor can I find a solution on line. Some similar problems have been indicated, but without resolution

I have noticed that when in "All folder" view there is no draft folder showing in the folder pane, but when in "Unified folder" view there is a drafts folder shown In this UF view, the received messages in the "inbox" are displayed and the same contents also appear in the drafts folder. ( But duplicated; Both folders show the same message count number although the actual number in the drafts is double that in the inbox).

Any suggestions would be welcomed, & thanks for reading.

I have add several accounts hotmail.com in Thunderbird with out a problem but, I can't add hotmail.gr account.

I'm using Win 11 and ver 140.3.1esr (64 bit)

Thunderbird works perfectly except for just one thing. Every time I write any email it freezes after about 2 minutes. If it's a short email, it gets sent. If it's longer, before I can get to the end, the program freezes, and I have to use Task Manager to stop it. No problem receiving and reading emails. This started about a month ago.

I use Bitdefender, but it still happens with that off. Windows is up to date. Any ideas why this is happening? Thanks.

Hi I was using TB 142 without problems. When upgrading to 143 ou 144.B4 I have problems sending mails to all users after some times. Usually the first mails are sent immediatly but after around 10 mails, I have very slow response (varies from 5 sec to more than 1 minute and sometimes timeout). Usually quitting TB solves the problem but this is very annoying. I went back to 140LTS and sems to have no longer this problem. This was tested on many diffrent networks. I am running under Fedora release 42

Thanks
