I can't login to my Mozilla email account this morning. My service provider is working fine and I can send and receive emails through them but not through Mozilla. Please advise. Thank you. Tim Cimperman cody46@zoominternet.net

Hi there, it seems I'm suffering from the same problems as others in several countries. I have also not been able to access my gmx.com account via Thunderbird for about a week now. I live in Belgium and use a Proton VPN, in case this is relevant. I can't find how to delete cookies in history, nor any other potential solutions to the problem. Any help offered is greatly appreciated! Best, Doreen

Hi all, My Thunderbird settings are suddenly being ignored. First the order of the emails was altered to ascending instead of descending then the adaptive Junk setting stopped working so that although the correct emails are marked as junk they are left in my in box and I have to manually move them. I have checked that the settings are still as I chose but they are being ignored.

I have 4 email accounts with Thunderbird. When a message comes in it is posted on ALL of the accounts. What am I doing wrong? My main email address is: [edited from community support forum] @rogers.com. Kindly answer to this address. I am 83 years old and don't under stand the young way of talking.....please be specific. Thank you very much. Bryan Baker.

best regards

I have been using Thunderbird with two POP3 Hotmail accounts for some time and I am trying to set up a third account with exactly the same configuration. However, both the automatic and the manual configurations failed. The new account receives mail, but the outgoing smtp server config seems to have a problem. Sending messages times out or keeps prompting for a new password.

The Hotmail account has POP3 and IMAP enabled. Thunderbird is set to receive all cookies. I cleared history and cache after every attempt and also temporarily disabled the firewall.

Any suggestions about what the problem could be?

Dear Support Team,

I am writing to report an issue I am experiencing with Thunderbird. Every time I use Thunderbird, an attached error message keeps appearing. This problem is delaying my work and affecting my daily tasks.

I kindly request your assistance in checking and resolving this issue as soon as possible. Please let me know if you need any additional information or screenshots of the error message.

Your prompt support would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Hi there. I'm looking for a shortcut that takes me from the folderlist pane to the message pane and the first new message, when I'm on the inbox folder. The tab is not good. It moves between to many fields/options.

to test my new proton.com email service I sent a message from my proton.com account to my gmail.com email box, the message is not displayed in my gmail inbox. The reverse operation works (from gmail.com to proton.com inbox). Why?

Thunderbird version number: 148.0.1 Mail provider: Yahoo Client OS: Windows 10

The issue and steps I tried to resolve: On 1 Jan 2026 I switched from Outlook client on my Windows 10 PC to Thunderbird 146.0.1. I did not import any user data from Outlook but started with a clean install of TB for the new year. I use yahoo.com with POP3 as my email provider. Server Settings: Server Name "pop.mail.yahoo.com", port 995, SSL/TLS, OAuth2 Outgoing Server: Server Name "smtp.mail.yahoo.com", port 465, SSL/TLS, OAuth2

it all worked fine and I was very happy with the setup. Then from early to mid-February I was unable to use my computer. When I finally accessed Thunderbird again, it connected to Yahoo and showed that approximately 800 email messages would be downloaded and started downloading them. After downloading about 100 messages, Thunderbird timed out and I haven't been able to get it to work since.

I have read and followed or tried to follow these articles plus others that I may have forgotten about (not listed in any particular order) - OAuth2 Authentication for Yahoo, AOL and ATT | Thunderbird Help - including all the steps in Please check the following before asking for support - POP access settings and instructions for Yahoo Mail | Yahoo Help - Automatic Account Configuration | Thunderbird Help - Manual Account Configuration | Thunderbird Help - Thunderbird and Yahoo | Thunderbird Help - Send and receive messages in Thunderbird | Thunderbird Help - Can no longer get emails | Thunderbird Support Forum | Mozilla Support - Emails suddenly stopped downloading to Thunderbird 140.2.1esr | Thunderbird Support Forum - Get Messages | Thunderbird Support Forum | Mozilla Support - Cannot receive messages | Thunderbird Help - Problem with Thunderbird working with Yahoo Mail acccounts. | Thunderbird Support Forum

I have removed all messages from the Yahoo inbox and tried to find one or more messages that may be affecting the download. I don't know the best way to determine that.

I use Windows Defender for my antivirus. I don't see anything in Defender that blocks or scans email messages which would prevent downloads, although I could be wrong about that. if this might be the issue, please provide some guidance about how to check Defender.

I have uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird. In the process I downloaded the setup file for Thunderbird Setup 148.0 and installed that version. It later auto-updated to 148.0.1. Before installation, I removed all external connections from my Yahoo account and completely removed Thunderbird from my PC, including the profile and profile.ini. When I reinstall and switch the account to POP3, Thunderbird captures the App password from Yahoo and connects just fine. But it still times out while attempting the first download of a message. The first several times it timed out, an error message was displayed but now it doesn't show anything. Except no messages are downloaded.

At this point, I don't know what else to try. Since I don't have much experience with Thunderbird, I don't know how to troubleshoot the process (logs to look at, etc.). I don't want to go back to Outlook but I need the email client to work and download messages. Any help would be much appreciated.

I am running Thunderbird 140.8.1esr on macOS Tahoe 26.3

I created an IMAP account in Thunderbird to replace a POP account

I want to copy the Thunderbird message filters from the POP account to the IMAP account

I read articles on Mozilla Support and these said to copy the msgFilterRules.dat file but I cannot find this file

How can I copy the message filters?

I get this error ALL THE TIME from TB. Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp-mail.outlook.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again. Copilot says that TB is NOT recognizing my personal Outlook email account as a viable SMTP account. Been on line with Copilot for couple of hours without success. Does anyone at Mozilla have anything to offer me?

A few days ago I lost all of my saved email messages, plus "sent" emails, and "deleted" emails. I had important information stored there for future use. I am hoping to be able to retrieve it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

récent utilisateur de thunderbird, je voudrais ajouter un dossier "COMMERCIAL" qui soit en mesure d'accepter les mails. pour l'instant, lorsque je crée un tel dossier il est considéré comme dossier personnel et il reste vide. Que faire ? Merci de votre réponse jpc.moneyron@free.fr

Hey, everyone!

I'm having a problem with my Google calendar on on of my Macs.

O have an M1 Mac Mini and I can access all of my calendars through that system. However, I also have a 2013 MacBook Air running Big Sur 11.17.10 and I can only access two out of my four calendars via Thunderbird 128.14.0esr on that machine.

The four calendars I have subscribed to are my personal calendar, US Holidays, Stardates (because I'm a Trek fan) and Phases of the Moon. On my MacBook, I can only access or view my personal and US Holidays calendars. The other two can't be found by Provider for Google Calendar.

Anyone know why this might be and how I ca fix it? Seems silly that an Provider wouldn't be able to access these calendars since the same version functions on both TB 128 and TB 140.

Thanks!

I am shifting over to TB from Windows Live Mail. I have installed TB Ver 115.16.2 on 7 computers successfully (Win 7, 10 and 11) over the past year. But on one Win 7 computer TB will not save the password. Usually TB asks for the Password during set-up. But here it asked for it in a pop-up box. Yes, I entered the correct password. Yes, I said "save with Password manager." But here it keeps asking for it, over and over. At one point TB connected to the POP download server, just long enough to download all the incoming emails, but then quit connecting. It won't connect to the SMTP server. The port numbers for POP and SMTP are correct and the security settings are correct. I've done a lot of web searching. Most sites say that profile files logins.json and key4.db may be corrupted. I disabled them (by renaming) and copied those two files from another computer on which the same Thunderbird version works properly on the same mail server. Same thing - TB still keeps asking for the POP server password. I just deleted TB (uninstalled, and deleted all the appdata directories, and verified there were no lingering registry keys using a list shown on Spiceworks). I'll next reinstall, but don't have much confidence that it will work. Thanks.
