I have a situation which I just can't understand how/why it's happening, but moreso, resolve.

I have an email account setup on my server which uses a filter to catch all messages that start with a specific word (let's say beagle) followed by any number of characters (numbers or letters which are permissible using email naming restrictions (eg 123, XYZ, 12398760, Xyate1238127) followed by the domain name, let's say beaglebiggins.co.uk (so beagle123@beaglebiggins.co.uk, beagleXYZ@beaglebiggins.co.uk, beagle12398760@beaglebiggins.co.uk, beagleXyate1238127@beaglebiggins.co.uk etc) and forward them all to a single account, we will use beagle@beaglebiggins.co.uk.

Got it so far? Good!

Now when an individual sends an email, we'll say jackosmith@simpleton.org, to any of the aliases, let's take beagle123@beaglebiggins.co.uk, the email is received fine, by beagle@beaglebiggins.co.uk. So far, so good.

Now in Thunderbird, and I'm presuming only Thunderbird as it works fine on webmail and Outlook for Android, when you click reply or reply-all this happens:

To: beagle123@beaglebiggins.co.uk From: jackosmith@simpleton.org

See what's wrong? No? Then I'll enlighten you...

When you click reply or reply-all, it should say:

To: jackosmith@simpleton.org From: beagle@beaglebiggins.co.uk

... the to and from fields are the opposite to what they should be.

I've seen people mention adding identities, but when you have an infinite number of emails, this is simply not possible.

Could someone tell me a magic trick or suggest an add-on that can resolve this for me please?

I do appreciate your assistance!

Hi there,

I'm using Thunderbird beta (currently 131.0b6) and since the penultimate version, no mail appear in the list of mails anymore. The count of new mails is displayed but not the mails themselves. (Last mail to date: 18/09/2024 at 15:33 – more than 40 mails received since that date, all having been counted but never displayed)

What I checked:

- imap configuration - message filters - deletion of .msf files (with thbd closed) -> all old emails disappear - forced sync of trash and junk folders - displayed unread folders, including 'Show / discusions / ignored' - created empty profiles in the beta version (Debian 12 and Windows 11) => same issue - opened a ticket on Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1920376)

 I created an empty profile in the stable version (128.2.3esr on Win11 & Debian 12) => no problem

Thanks for any hint you could provide me with

After each restart of Thunderbird, many email tabs appear with empty blank content. Imagine having many open tabs with emails and having to manually search for these emails and reopen them and close the blank email Tabs after every restart to see the content. It's simply hilarious.

And I've had this problem for a year now. Even after a complete reinstallation of e.g. Linux Mint. I have already switched to a Thunderbird fork on Windows, which does not have these problems.

When asked to re-enter the appropriate password I enter the never ending merry-go-round......I have 6 addresses. Whilst it is possible to access then via their specific accounts held with Microsoft this is time consuming,hence the preference of Thunderbirdb which up until now has been trouble free for approx 15 years. This unnecessary development makes me wonder why I only need a user naame aand password to access via Microsoft. I have tried every method kindly provided by other users to no avail. Can anyone provide the correct server setting for both IMAP and SMTP? As I have said these 'new' authentification/s are in my opinion tantamount to using a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. I hope my explantion makes sense? Surely I cannot be alone?

Thanks to the unnecessary and pointless meddling of Microsoft I am not unable to send or receive e-mails via Thunderbird. I constantly receive "log in failure message".

For the past few days I have intermittently had a problem sending email. I get email from Spectrum, my ISP. When I try to send I get this message: Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: p-impout007.msg.pkvw.co.charter.net cmsmtp 173.211.127.45 blocked. Please see https://www.spectrum.net/support/internet/understanding-email-error-codes for more information. AUP#Out-1130.

When I go to the indicated website and look up error 1130, this is what I get: The IP address you’re trying to connect from has an issue with the Domain Name System. Spectrum requires a full circle DNS for emails to be allowed through. Verify the IP you’re connecting from, and check the IP address to ensure a reverse DNS entry exists for the IP. If the IP address is a Spectrum-provided email address, contact us.

Note my email address is not Spectrum provided.

Dear Support,

We are seeing some errors appear when we either startup Thunderbird or click on our Inboxes. The errors say "Alert from account info@save********.ca i.4Wr1U6N InvalidParameter id: i.4Wr1U6N_CFR_1' - We get very similar errors repeatedly but with different ids. It is happening to 4 of our inboxes. All of the inboxes are on the same server but when we checked with Hosting Support, which while testing our inboxes were able to experience the same issue on their end as well, here is what they said:

I have confirmed to our Titan Team however, we do not find anything suspicious in the server. The external IMAP logins are passing. Below attached are the login reports. We also checked the IPs used to login to the account and even that is not blocked on our end. Additionally, the error message does not mention Server Error but Parameter Error, and the error looks decoded.

In this case, an offline email client app also logs data and has certain rules and parameters for configuration apart from the normal IMAP and SMTP settings, just like our password configuration (where some characters will not be compatible with one client but will be compatible with another client).

Here, there are no server errors logged, and can't see any failures, as I have shared the login logs. Also, the alert/error message is encoded, which can be only decoded by Thunderbird support. Hence, we from the server side will not be able to look at what exactly is causing this issue, until and unless this error is decoded from the Thunderbird side.

Therefore, we would suggest to contact Thunderbird. I hope the explanation helps.

Last night (9/23/2024), Thunderbird began presenting a screen (see attached) requiring me to sign in to contine to Mozilla Thunderbird Email. At the top of the screen is a "Sign in with Google" line. However, there is nowhere to sign into anything. My correct email is displayed but no entry for a password.

Clicking "Next" takes you to an Error 400 screen. There is no "Close" button and the only way out of the screen is to hit "Esc," which takes me to my Email account. After a short bit, the screen refreshes back to that " sign in to contine to Mozilla Thunderbird" screen. After one or two more uses of :Esc, I can get back control of my laptop.

Meanwhile, Thunderbird is frozen--mail doesn't update, and any attempt to use T-Bird returns me to the sign in cycle. Win 11; TB ver, 128.2.3esr (32-bit); server security imap.gmail.com, port 993, outgoing server smtp.google.com, authentication OAuth2. I've accepted cookies and javascript and closed my VPN. can't figure what to do next.

I have set up Syncing on Firefox and it was simple but I can't figure out how to do it in Thunderbird. I am recovering from a PC Reset and want to ensure I do not lose anything if I have to have my Iaptop sent away to be repaired.

I spent a long time looking for an email today. I sent it earlier in the day so was looking at the latest messages with todays date. I eventually found it after srearching for the Subject. The message was threaded but the message showing was from a few days ago. That was when I noticed the little arrow. That was when all was revealed. The version of TBird I used until I Reset PC last week did not have settings like that.

Please hep me.

I didn't know which Topic to choose so if its wrong please change it.

Hi

I'm trying to transfer a back-up of e-mails (OS2 - 15075 --> under local folders) to my inbox of loego93@gmail.com, but it keeps getting stuck on 272 as you can see in Thunderbird and in my Gmail on 124. I've tried it three times and always the same. Are there settings I need to adjust?

Kind regards

Hi there - been using Thunderbird for donkeys (since it was Eudora!). A few weeks back I started to get messages from Microsoft that I needed to change security settings as they were no longer supported on 3rd party email handlers like Thunderbird. So I re-created the three accounts I had there and it seemed to be OK, though SMTP did not have the OAUTH2 option available ... and when I tried to use the new SMTPs they wouldn't work. So I reverted to the old settings there and it worked again.

But this morning, with the big update to Thunderbird Nebula, I can no longer send emails from the MS accounts. My Gmail one is still OK ... but whatever I try, I cannot get the MS ones to send emails - I get a failure connecting.

Login to server smtp-mail.outlook.com with username xxxxx@hotmail.com failed.

I checked on MS and the details shown there:

SMTP server name smtp-mail.outlook.com SMTP port 587 SMTP encryption STARTTLS Authentication Method OAuth2/Modern Auth

Are what I have (I did have a different SMTP Server name came up - smtp.office365.com - but that doesn't work either)

So ... where is the issue? Is this a bug in the new Thunderbird setup? Something else? I don't know where to go ...

When I open Thunderbird (Mozilla), my files are not current. In other words, the most recent emails, probably since the last time I used Thunderbird, in my file folders are missing. I have tried changing the server settings but I think they are correct. Please be patient with me, I am unfamiliar with all the terminology, etc. Also, when I first enter Thunderbird, it does not recognize my password. A window opens with the message "Login to server imap.postoffice.net with username john.fn@usa.net failed." That message also appears when I click on Get Messages. Thanks for any help.

I constantly have emails that are blank with wrong information. I have to do the properties/repair folder things constantly to be able to view my emails. Apparently there is a problem in the mapping on the server that can be fixed.

Thunderbird v115.7.0 (32 bit) Win7 (32 bit) SP1.

I am trying to add another account, but when I fill in the account info (name, email address, and password,) it pops up an oauth2 verification window but the window "Fails to connect"

The title of the window is "Enter Credentials for (email address) on imap.comcast.net.

After some time, I get a "unable to connect" message.

I managed to copy some of the url, here is the beginning part https://oauth.xfinity.com/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=thunderbird-oauth&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost&scope=https%3A%2F%2Femail.comcast.net%2F+profile+openid&code_challenge_method=S256&code_challenge=xhwuKlnA_c...

This has happened before for Google accounts too.

Is there a fix?

Thanks, Mark.

Hi there,

Everytime I open an e-mail I get a blank page and I cannot see anything. I have uninstalled Thunderbird and re-installed it. I have disabled my anti-virus and anti-spam on thunderbird. There are no add-ons or anything in my thunderbird. I have no idea how to get rid of this. Anyone that can help?
