I upgraded my Fedora nad I think that Thunderbird 149 came with that upgrade. I cannot send mails. Ctrl+enter has no reaction. Downgraded to 148 and everyhing is fine. |<

The sorting of the Recent Destinations menu has changed and is now no longer usable. It is not sorted by most recent or any other obvious order. It now takes me more time to scan through the list to find what I want when it used to be a very useful/quick tool. Anyone else notice this new issue? Thanks!

Recently I posted about this problem here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1580858 In sum, I was having problems both in downloading messages from the Spectrum server and also with sending messages. I've attached screenshots of the error messages.

Matt and David kindly posted some helpful responses. The problem then seemed to spontaneously solve itself and I breathed a sigh of relief. Then a few days later it re-appeared.

This time it's not quite as bad in that I'll get the error messages but then usually a few minutes later I can download the messages or send an email. But it's still a real problem.

I called Spectrum again and this time the rep was adamant that if I can still use the Spectrum webmail feature (and I can), then it's not a Spectrum issue.

Last time Matt asked about my antivirus. I use Windows Defender (and occasionally do a manual scan with Malwarebytes free version), so if I understood him right, I should be OK as far as antivirus interference.

Matt also suggested I set TB so that I download messages at startup and every 15 minutes. I was set to every 10 minutes so I changed it to 15.

Matt said for me to check the Activity Manager. I've attached a screenshot of what that showed a few minutes ago. But I should note that this was after an error message displayed but my email downloaded anyway.

Finally, Matt said I should check the Error Console (Control + Shift +J). I've attached a screenshot of that. He also said I should use the trash can to clear it, so I did. He then said to press Shift + F5 to attempt to get my messages. But on my laptop, F5 just dims the display so no dice on that. But I have a second laptop and F5 is "neutral" on that one so I tried it there. I didn't get any new error message.

However, one of the screwy things is that sometimes I get all my messages as normal, but only after the "Can't connect to the server" message displays. And that's what happened with my second laptop above.

I hope I've provided better info. this time. And I hope you gents can help me with this mess.

Thanks,

Andrew

Hey Guys,

My Left click to open links from my emails has stopped working. I have to right click and select Open Link. I have tried everything, tried going through some of the config editor options i saw people mention for this issue and its all set to True already. There is no data besides PDF under the settings / attachments section. So cant change anything there. I tried a new profile, no go. I did a full uninstall and delete profile and started again, still same issue.

Left click to open links for everything else on my computer like firefox etc. Just cant open links through thunderbird. It used to work, it seems to have stopped around the same time as the latest update but i cant be sure about that. Only stopped working the last few days,

I am running Thunderbird 140.9.1esr on openSUSE Tumbleweed.

For a long time now, Thunderbird often runs at high CPU (80-100% of one core), for several minutes at a time (5-10 minutes). This seems to happen many times every day, with no apparent cause from my end. (I just got back from Lunch, and the fan on my laptop was going crazy because of the high CPU.)

What can we do to identify and fix this issue?

Couple months back had to restore computer. Wouldn't let me add my POP gmail account, said had to use IMAP. POP was no longer accepted or something to that effect. So I got IMAP set up. (Of course, I did save my old POP folder with some messages in it.) Ever since setting up the IMAP folder I only get maybe 30 messages each morning. Never more. Which is no way right. I've googled and tweeked the synchronization/storage settings and the server settings. Nothing works. I'll spend hours googling suggestions and trying them, then get frustrated and move on. Then a week or so later I go thru it all again. Nothing changes!! Still only get the very few emails each morning. About 30 or so minutes after the initial download of messages, I'll get a pop up saying imap connection lost. This is SO frustrating. I have no idea what to try next. I never had this kind of issue with any of my POP accounts. Any suggestions? I've probably already tried them but will certainly give it another try. Thanks! Lynn

Thunderbird forces me to use the new amount hub. And I get authentication error when trying to setup outlook.com email

Windows 11 home, Thunderbird 156.0 (64 bit)

Recently I noted a changed behavior - emails with photo(s) in them used to have the option to right click on the photo and then an option to save-as was offered. The only thing that happens now with a right click is the photo is enlarged or shrunk - no other options.

I wondered if this was an iphone initiated email only problem but it also occurs when I send a jpg photo from my desktop from one email address to another.

I have tried a number of suggestions from the internet without success and my frustration is mounting.

Thank You Norman

Summary: Thunderbird intermittently fails to download certain POP emails that are visible in Mailwasher Pro. Some messages download normally, others disappear from Mailwasher (as expected after a successful POP retrieval) but never appear in Thunderbird. No error messages are shown. Environment: • Email client: Thunderbird (current version) • Account type: POP3 • Anti spam tool: Mailwasher Pro • OS: Windows 10/11 • Mailwasher behaviour: Messages appear correctly in MW’s inbox list. • Thunderbird behaviour: Using Get Messages retrieves some emails, but others vanish from MW without being written into Thunderbird’s Inbox. Detailed Behaviour: 7. Mailwasher shows new incoming messages normally. 8. When Thunderbird performs a POP “Get Messages”: • Some messages download correctly into Thunderbird’s Inbox and disappear from MW (expected). • Other messages disappear from MW (as if retrieved) but do not appear in Thunderbird. 9. These “evaporated” messages are not: • In Inbox • In Junk • In Trash • In Local Folders • In any filter redirected folder 10. No error dialog appears in Thunderbird. 11. Mailwasher logs show the messages were handed off to the mail client (this by omission). 12. The issue has become more frequent recently. Suspected Areas: • Thunderbird POP retrieval logic intermittently failing to write messages to Inbox. • Possible interaction between MW’s “hand off to mail client” and Thunderbird’s POP session. • Potential profile corruption or POP state file corruption (popstate.dat). • Possible Thunderbird bug affecting selective message retrieval. Assistance Requested: • How to diagnose POP retrieval failures where messages vanish from MW but do not appear in Thunderbird. • Whether Thunderbird logs can show POP level message acceptance or rejection. • Whether popstate.dat or Inbox file corruption could cause selective message loss. • Recommended steps to isolate MW interaction vs Thunderbird internal handling.

As a twelve or more years user of Thunderbird, I find it to be okay most of the time. I hate the spam folder that does not learn and I hate threads.

Today all of a sudden, I cannot save photos sent from my iPhone as jpg. I have always right clicked and a menu has appeared. Today, the right click just zooms in which I never want to do when I am trying to save.

I tried searchig online first before coming here. Apple is claiming that Thunderbird developers made a mistake and that is why the right click is not working. AI had me try a bunch of different techniques none of which worked.

When I do save after much effort, the "photo" in my Animals folder appears as the Thunderbird logo instead of the real item itself. The other weird thing is that my folders also do NOT show up where they should when I am trying to save. The menu doesn't give me all the folders as it always has. Instead it just say All Files which is not adequate.

I've had AOL for an Email provider for several years now. I rarely went to the website to check my Email cause Thunderbird was linked to it. But today, AOL seems to be turning off my Thunderbird (I can't send or receive Email at the moment). It's like malware with the continuous popups making me log in to AOL to use Thunderbird but then ending up on some Yahoo Oops screen. I've been using Thunderbird since before I transitioned to AOL after moving.

It's been working fine up until today. When I do anything on Thunderbird, the annoying popup screens appear wanting me to log in. Any ideas? Have I been hacked?

Hi, hoping someone could help as I am struggling to get my information back. I am using Ubuntu Cinnamon.

Thunderbird crashed last night, wouldn't work, tried safe mode. Nothing fixed it. It hung when opening up and after 30 seconds said force quit. So I was forced to reinstall. I did a manual backup but not using the inbuilt tool as I couldn't get into Thunderbird. I just copied the data from username/.thunderbird

After spending a long time uninstalling. Because it reached 78% and then crashed on uninstall. Eventually after reading various pages on the internet I managed to reinstall from the Ubuntu software manager using the latest snap version. (Which I am not sure was what was actually installed previously).

However having used thunderbird for nearly 20 years or so. I have a username/.thunderbird folder. And when I moved to this platform, I have a snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird folder.

I installed this new distro 2 years ago, and remember having issues getting my data into the system under Snap. But eventually got it to work somehow back then.

However since reinstalling I cannot see the last 2 years of emails, archives or data. It has launched into a 2 year old profile. I appear to have lost most of the emails from the archive folders (but kept the folders) removed all of the personal folders but then dumped all those emails into my inbox. Giving me 6500 emails that were in various personal folders. (I don't get 6500 emails in a year so don't know what has happened.) It has even changed all of the new dates to the US format, so nothing makes any sense.

I now have 2 Thunderbird profiles, over 12GB in size. And have apparently lost 2 years of my life. But reading support pages, suggests I should be okay because thunderbird doesn't delete data when you reinstall?

I have looked through various other threads which talk about pointing it at the profiles and mail boxes, however nothing works.

Any help much needed.

I use Thunderbird all the time as my email on a desktop PC.

For several emails, especially some from yesterday the Correspondent and the subject have  ?crossed?

For example: an email looked from the Correspondent list as if sent from my energy provider but the message was from a Garden Centre. It's not a one-off; another message looked like from a magazine but was a receipt for a purchase. They were not consecutive so it's not as if the list has 'slipped' by one or two. I think it's happened before but not as worrysome.

Is there a reason or solution please?

I'm now scared to delete unwanted emails without time consuming checking each one in detail.

Thank you for any advice/support/suggestions

I have an outlook account that will not install. I get the challenge, to send me an authentication number at another email address, and that says okay, you can close this window and continue, but then at 'continue' in Thunderbird I get an authentication error.

-I have added the email on another computer in Thunderbird and send/receive email, no error -I have added the email in the New Outlook email app and send/receive email, no error -I have added a different outlook account in Thunderbird on this computer, no error -I can log into the Microsoft live email app and send/receive email, no error -I have uninstalled Thunderbird as admin, removed the Thunderbird folders in %appdata% and %localappdata% for both the admin and user accounts, cleared the cache and cookies on the computer and in Thunderbird (including the token), then reinstalled Thunderbird under the admin account, logged into Thunderbird as the user and added the problem Outlook account; same issue. Press Continue and authentication error, even though the challenge screen says everything is connected and okay. Then I install the other Outlook account without any issues.

I am convinced that somewhere on this machine there is something that knows and hates this one email account. It is possibly because the profile file had a problem and I deleted the xulstore.json file per instructions to resolve the problem, but the file is there and the profile is working again for the other Outlook accounts, just not this one particular account.

Any Obi-wan or other wise counsel out there?

Hello people, I've just upgraded my Thinderbird because my inbox didn't load on opening the programme. I guess I have made a huge mistake somewhere in the process, because my whole archive has disappeared. I very much hope it still exists somewhere and that I will be able to restore it with your help. Thanking you in advance, Nele Ysebaert, Amsterdam

I have thunderbird for many years and now giving me trouble with my email that I get from comcast not letting email to come up says not responding and when it comes up and check the mail and then lower it to taskbar and their is a second copy which I lower it also also please help this is all has started recently and need help badly. If you need more information please let me know

For the past several months the saved passwords, for my Comcast account, have had to be reset. When viewed the password vault still shows the old but correct password. It happens after a restart required for a Windows Update. I put in a dummy password, reboot, put the original password, reboot and I'm back and working as it was in the past.

Isn't password manager suppose to save the password until changed or deleted? It had in the past!

Hi, In installed thunderbird on my mobile device and manage different email-accounts. Whenever I open an incoming email for account "A", I am in "answer"mode. For account "B" everything is normal. I don't see any different setting for those 2 accounts. Does anyone has also this effect and any idea how to solve this?

Hi I am an older person and have lost my profiles on thunderbird email - one is [redacted]@xtra.co.nz and the other is [redacted]@xtra.co.nz. We are in NZ and accidently deleted the Thunderbird profile and not the corrupted new profile I was setting up. Thank you. Gloria Sandbrook. I still have [redacted]@xtra.co.nz on my phone for communication. Cheers.
