Thunderbird Community Forum

Good morning. We have McAfee Ultimate with email scam protection. Our "att.net" email was hack 2 weeks ago. We have changed "att.net" passwords. We began to again receive emails. on 6/14/26 we began receiving this message when trying to down load emails - "unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox" We deleted emails found in the McAfee Alert mail box. We deleted the "att.net" email from McAfee and then reconnected it. we have gmail accounts and deleted trash. any thoughts for how to correct will be appreciated. jimw

A weird thing has started happening to my Thunderbird inbox in the last couple of days. Emails are showing as from a totally different sender. For example, a Google search on Sondheim has been "sent" by EDF (my electricity supplier) and some Groupon emails are showing as coming from people I correspond with. Also a Keto bread recipe from a low carb group I belong to has been "sent" by one of my work clients! More weirdly, I copied them into a subfolder on my inbox and they then appeared correctly. I have tried repairing the folder but it made no difference.

To whom it concerns, It just happened yesterday June 11,2026. I put in my password to my e-mail to open it and it stated that my e-mail account is being processed. Said to wait until processing is complete to get messages. I have never had this issue, I been with Thunder Bird e-mail for years. It isn't even showing my e-mails that I had in my inbox on my e-mail. If you can please help, I need my e-mail up and going. Thank you, Chris Note, it also said that Thunder Bird had crashed in a box, they wanted to know what page I was on. I am not understanding this.

I have 4 seperate email addresses in Thunderbird. Only one of them has this problem and I would like to resolve it. When I send an email, the copy goes into "All Files" and not into the "Sent" email; folder. Which setting do I need to change to put it right please?

Why Does Thunderbird Hang When Saving Draft? Right after creating a new email, and I "Save to Draft", Tbird says "Copying messages to Drafts" at bottom left of GUI.

The only way I could see to clear the "Copying..." message was to have Tbird check for mail in a different account. When I check for the draft in Drafts, it's not there - it's no where I checked except the original still in it's own opened GUI that opens when using "New Message"

Bottom line - can't save drafts.

When I try to send an email using my Mozilla account, the only choice provided is "send later". I do not want and did not knowingly ask for the choice "send later". How can I have my emails sent right away? Thank you very very much for any help you can give me.

I use Thunderbird on a Mac, where Gmail is my default email. When I try to send an email, it often takes 10 tries before it goes through, due to timeouts. How can I fix this?

In Thunderbird 151.0.1 [64 bit] I get the following error message: Error Inbox - inbox on .....[my email address] "There is not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the trash folder and compacting your mail folders and then try again." I did all of that, even went into windows disk cleanup to free up more disk space. I get the same error message. I have 3 email accounts in Thunderbird, only one account has this problem. When I use Outlook express I do not get any error messages but I do get a malicious email that AVG intercepts. So how can I purge bad email from Thunderbird ? Or what else may be going on and what else could I try ? I have deleted all old emails, in Thunderbird, I routinely delete old emails. Thanks alot Sam

I have email [edited from public] @riverplazatravel.com purchased through Rackspace For days, on my emails through Thunderbird, I'm receiving emails but SENT emails disappear. They aren't showing in TRASH anymore, or SENT....they are disappearing and I have to check with my customer and they aren't receiving them. Big problem. Please help I've spent hours of research and dont understand much of that and so many are outdated. I've messaged and called various people. Your email was provided to me by Rackspace.

I have used Apple Mail, GMail and Outlook; i am hoping that Thunderbird will achieve (relative) zero inbox.

My objective is to create an inbox that observes established rules/filters and directs my emails into the appropriate folders. I was hoping that Thunderbird would achieve this objectives but I have so far been unsuccessful.

I would be happy to screenshare with an appropriate technician in order to resolve this issue as its becoming increasingly frustrating.

My Yahoo account on Thunderbird sees no email found.

My eMail Providers: Yahoo, AOL, Gmail.

AOL and Gmail(2 accounts) work fine. Only Yahoo doesn't respond. As you can see in the attached screen shot, it shows a "No Messages Found" message.

I have tried everything listed in the support page.

I'm sure it is something simple but I can't see it.

When I try to send an email via Thunderbird using my email account it errors out with a smpt error. I went in and deleted all the passwords (like it said online) to force a screen to pop up. Then I closed Thunderbird and restarted it with no success.

Já há dois dias que eu não consigo receber e nem enviar emails e já tentei de tudo, já até desinstalei o Thunderbird e reinstalei e nada... Uso o computador e tenho outras contas, mas só a conta do sapo que tenho(marcaomulder@sapo.pt) é que está a dar problemas... Já nesta conta, se eu acesso o servidor(sapo.pt) está tudo a funcionar correctamente, sendo portanto o problema desta conta no thunderbird! Estou a contar com a vossa ajuda, pelo que muito vos agradeço!

• Já agora neste momento, depois que reinstalei o thunderbird, ainda não consegui reinstalar a minha conta: marcaomulder@sapo.pt

Cumprimentos!
