I have Thunderbird installed on a desktop and laptop (both running Windows 11) and an Android phone. I can no longer receive emails on the two PCs, though the phone still works OK. Webmail works fine on all three devices. I have tried all the remedies I can find on the web, but so far without success. When I send a test email to myself it goes out OK and appears in my webmail, but does not appear in my Sent box. I tried doing Repair Folder on my desktop Inbox. This caused all the existing messages in the inbox to disappear, though the folder size still shows as 400Mb. I have a secondary email address which I use occasionally (a gmail address). This is still working OK. All help gratefully received. Alan

Hi

"I am being asked daily for my pop3 password

Login to server pop3.tpg.com.au with username ##### failed. retry, enter new password, cancel"

Each time I enter the password and my mail rolls through. I have the password saved using the password manager and I can see that the correct password is saved. 
What do I do to stop this happening each day? This has only been happening since the last windows update so maybe a clue there
Any assistance will be very much appreciated

Unable to open the summary file for Sent on xxxx@gmail.com. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long. I have tried to connect my second gmail account. The first one went ok. With the 2nd on the Inbox and All Mail folders initially gave this error, but Repair fixed both, Sent and all other folders have this error and Repair no longer fixes the problem. Then I noticed that I was then unable to delete emails from 2 inboxes including Thundermail inbox.

URGENT: New Email is received, Can be found using quick search, but not appearing in INBOX or SPAM folders

I have Proton Mail, and Proton Bridge. It was working until Yesterday. Starting Yesterday, New emails would show up in the Web app, and the ProtonMail Desktop App, but would not make it to the Thunderbird Inbox. The first email that did this arrived at 1:30PM on 10/19. When a new email arrives, a new email windows notification will popup in the lower right hand corner. I checked Spam, and it is empty (I find this hard to believe). My phone also displays a new mail notification.

I know Thunderbird is receiving the emails. I can find the new emails by using "Quick Search", and searching for the email address of the sender of the new email. The results are completely without formatting, and do not indicate what folder they are in.

For example: I have a Gmail Account (GromitToo@Gmail.com), and I sent a test message to my ProtonMail address (MisterFuzzyGuy@Proton.me). That email contained the subject line "Ping 10/20" and it contained my auto signature. If enter "Gromittoo@gmail.com" into the quick search, and I hit the return button, it only finds a message I sent about 7 weeks ago.

If I then click on the magnifying glass icon, a new tab opens up with the results. It displays the first 10 results of 54 results searching for "gromittoo@gmail.com". At the top of the results is my "Ping 10/20" test email. I could not find the folder name where my "Ping 10/20" test email is located on this results tab.

I see that the text "Ping 10/20" is a hyperlink, so I click it. The tab shows up, and strangely, it show the email and one reply. No reply was received by the Gmail account.

I have done troubleshooting of the ProtonMail bridge. The fact that the email is found somewhere in my thunderbird installation, I don't think ProtonMail Bridge is the issue.

I tried the automated setting up - several times but get the error message below, I tried changing the authentication but same result.

I tried the Help here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-hotmail - but it didn't help!

I have the settings it shows for Outlook - but it doesn't work! When I "Continue" I get Authentication error. Show less

"Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.". It hasn't asked for a password.

I can login in to Outlook webmail and receive messages. Please help. I'm not overly technical but not totally ignorant either! Thanks, Isobel

Hello This is a Thunderbird on Windows 11 question If I select a file, right click and then click on "Send to" >"Mail Recipient", Windows tell me


There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.

But Thunderbird is installed, up and running and is set as default for MAILTO (see image)

So what could be the problem?

Luckily, files can be loaded into messages using the "Attach" command in Thunderbird if that gives you a clue

Thanks in advance for any help

Yahoo Mail authentication errors in Activity Manager

I recently set up Thunderbird for Windows as a troubleshooting step for my Yahoo Mail account which has been generating an incessant number of authentication pop-ups in Microsoft Outlook (Classic) for Windows. I had been using New Outlook for many months before switching to Classic Outlook a couple of weeks ago. With New Outlook, there had been no authentication issues nor pop-ups appearing. I have been using the OAuth authentication, not app passwords, in all cases.

Setup within Thunderbird was relatively easy and the OAuth authentication went through without issues. The account has synchronized and seems to be continuing to do so as I read, delete, and send messages.

However, when I went in to the Activity Manager, I'm seeing a number of errors, appearing every 10-15 minutes or so. They read as follows:

  • Alert from account xxx@yahoo.com: AUTHENTICATE Server error - Please try again later
  • The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account xxx@yahoo.com responded: UID FETCH completed.
  • The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account xxx@yahoo.com responded: p.

Can anyone help me understand what they mean? It would help me stabilize Thunderbird and might give some clues as to what is happening in Outlook Classic for me. It would seem some have authentication issues with Yahoo on different platforms while the service works perfectly fine for others. I would like to move away from Yahoo as I find it finicky with a number of its features, but I'm a long-term user (25+ years) and don't see that being a practical solution at the moment.

Thanks!

I have a number of pop3 accounts with the same mail host, but suddenly one of them gives me the message "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."

I use Thunderbird on two Windows machines, and the problem is on both, so it is something in the interaction with the server, however, there is no problem accessing the mail via webmail directly on the server.

I have tried to change password on the account, but the problem did not go away. In fact, I got the box to tell me that the old password did no longer work, so I know that the problem pops up after log in to the account. Before the error message appears, the message "downloading 208 messages" (or something similar) briefly appears.

Is there a way to find out exactly what fails?

I've received the following message the last few days when I send an email with Thunderbird:

Your message was sent but a copy was not placed in your sent folder (Sent) due to network or file access errors. (I am sure neither of those errors apply.)

It then gave me the option to "save" (I didn't get the exact wording before I clicked on "save") and I don't see it anywhere. This was a very important email and I need to find it.
