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?

In Firefox, to send an email, you click on the NEW EMAIL button in the tool bar and the email app appears. When you click on the TO button to add email addresses, the ADD RECIPIENT page appears and a list of people and their email addresses normally appear.

THERE IS NO LIST OF PEOPLE AND EMAIL ADDRESSES. They have been moved to the PEOPLE folder on the left side tool bar below the top MAIL icon. The email list in the PEOPLE folder is still in tact

My question is how do I correct this error which appears to have happened during an update.

One would think if you highlight the PEOPLE email list it could be moved back to the ADD RECIPIENT list but that does not appear to be possible.

What is the solution????????

I get the messgae 'Unable to write email to the mailbox...make sure the file system allows you write priviledges and you have enough disk space.' When I looked at the errors Thunderbird recorded I found thei:

pop3.server1.2: Incorporate write FAILED! Component returned failure code: 0x8007000e (NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY) [nsIPop3Sink.incorporateWrite] NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY: Component returned failure code: 0x8007000e (NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY) [nsIPop3Sink.incorporateWrite]

I recently had to restore my thunderbird app as I had issues with my laptop. I do not run Avast...I have tried the 'repair' option in folder properties in thunderbird. Nothing seems to help. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me. I have been using Thunderbird for....well it has been aloooong time and I have never had any issues with it previously. I am running WIn 11 Pro.

Using a new, clean install of Xubuntu 26.04, with thunderbird 140.10.2esr 64 bit, ubuntu snap build 1.0. In settings: play a sound when new message arrives, no sound is heard. When clicking "play" to test the sound, there is no sound. Also, if "use the following sound file" is checked, there is no sound when "play" is clicked. (I have tried various .wav and .mp3 files.) I have installed pipewire-alsa, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Hi

When Thunderbird is started maximized it overlap taskbar if is set to hide and taskbar won't show until Thunderbird is minimized and maximized. Another way is to press the Win key two times. Then the hided taskbar can be shown/use. The same thing happens to Firefox. Only when is first started. Then if Firefox is minimized and maximized, press Win key two times, press F11 two times then the hided taskbar show/hide normal.

It is a setting that can be changed to start Thunderbird and Firefox in full screen and do not overlap hided taskbar?

I have connected a Google Workspace (Gmail) account to Thunderbird, let's call it scott.harper@myorg.org. I am able to send, receive, and reply from this account as expected.

In my Google Workspace configuration, I have an alias address forwarded to my account, let's call it info@myorg.org. I receive messages addressed to "info" just fine. But when I send or reply to messages addressed to "info", I'm running into a problem.

In the Account Setting I opened Manage Identities, and added info@myorg.org as an alternate identity. I then edited the Private Data for that identity so that the "Reply from this identity when delivery headers match" option is checked, and set to match info@myorg.org. See attached image.

When I reply to an incoming message, the From field appears to be (sort of) correct... it shows from info@myorg.org, but next to it (in italics) is the primary account identity, scott.harper@myorg.org. See the other attached image. This is also the case when I compose a new message and select the info identity.

In both cases, when the message arrives at the destination inbox, it is from scott.harper@myorg.org instead of "info".

I'm assuming I don't have the matching rule, or some other setting configured correctly. Would appreciate any other tips/ideas.

There is a message in my Inbox that cannot be deleted or moved. I've tried re-starting Firefox several times to no avail.

The stubborn message is actually completely blank when viewed in Tbird. Also - the stubborn message has already been moved to another folder where it can be read (i.e. message contents available). Yet - this stubborn "ghost" mail message will not disappear from my Inbox!?

I am connected to an Exchange email server - one of the "shared" servers administered by Microsoft.

I had hoped to get away from the insanity of Outlook, but it seems when it comes to email, there is no escape!

And finally FWIW, When I view my Inbox in "Web Outlook", there is no "stubborn ghost message" in the Inbox - the message is where I moved it.

Hi I have a hotmail account registered to my Thunderbird account, I receive mail. OK but it won't send mail comes up with error "unable to connect". Followed by:- (Should be a screenshot but it wont load?)

which says "Sending message failed The message could not be sent connection to server SMTP timed out."

This is a new occurrence not experienced before?

If I go to webmail it will send OK?

I've noticed that if I attach a file to an outgoing message then use ctrl+enter to send the message, Thunderbird also opens the attachment. How can I prevent it from doing the latter?

Hi All,

I have been working with a new service provider to move my domain and Email service for the past week. The domain move wasn’t an issue, but migrating Email has been a major pain. The new service technical staff had numerous issues just accessing the Outlook account, so copying the inbox and folders turned into a nightmare. Then I installed Office 365, just to access Outlook, and create PST files, which I provided to the new service tech staff, to synchronize all folders, but most of the PST files didn’t end up in the new server.

So, in Thunderbird I created an account for the Outlook service, and that synchronized everything, and was ecstatic! I then attempted to change the correctly synchronized Outlook account on Thunderbird, to the new IMAP server, but I can’t figure out how to change from the Microsoft Exchange Mail Server, to the new IMAP server. Since the Email Addresses on both servers will be the same, and only change with the DNS update to point to the new server, I am unable to create an IMAP account on Thunderbird, along side the Outlook account.

I am at a loss as to what I can do at this point. Can anyone help?

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!

Ich erhalte die Meldung "Nachrichten konnten nicht in die Mailbox-Datei geschrieben werden. Stellen Sie sicher, dass das Dateisystem Ihnen Schreibrechte einräumt und genügend Speicherplatz zur Verfügung steht, um die Mailbox zu kopieren." Speicherplatz ist genügend vorhanden. Bis jetzt konnte ich meine Emails problemlos abholen. Bin erreichbar über Telefon [edited] oder Handy [edited phone#'s from community support forum]

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?

I started getting this message when I attempt to download my email to Thunderbird:

"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 am using AOL with the address: rc.woolfenden@verizon.net on a Windows 11 platform with a 1TB solid state hard drive. I have never encountered this issue before.

Mail filters for custom headers like List-Unsubscribe, Authentication-Results or Received-SPF copying messages from IMAP accounts to Local Folders do not work on the Yahoo! IMAP account. For example:

filter1.jpg: name="_Inbox2: List-Unsubscribe <https" enabled="yes" type="17" action="Copy to folder" actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Inbox/_Inbox2" action="Stop execution" condition="OR (\"list-unsubscribe\",contains,<https)" (should copy messages from IMAP folders to _Inbox 2 on Local Folders)

filter2.jpg: name="Spam: Authentication-Results dkim=unknown | Received-SPF fail | X-Antivirus-Status Infected" enabled="yes" type="17" action="Copy to folder" actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Junk" action="Stop execution" condition="OR (\"authentication-results\",contains,dkim=unknown) OR (\"authentication-results\",contains,dkim=perm_fail) OR (\"authentication-results\",contains,dkim=none) OR (\"received-spf\",begins with,fail) OR (\"received-spf\",begins with,softfail) OR (\"received-spf\",begins with,none) OR (\"x-antivirus-status\",is,Infected)" (should copy messages from IMAP folders to _Inbox 2 on Local Folders)

But filter3.jpg for Subject works well: name="Inbox" enabled="yes" type="17" action="Copy to folder" actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Inbox" condition="OR (subject,doesn't contain,t[k\6iq69pd+}'cr)" (copies all remaining messages from IMAP folders to Inbox on Local Folders)

(the snippets above are fragments of the msgFilterRules.dat file)

Filters1 and 2 work well on other IMAP accouns, like for example wp.pl. So this is about Yahoo or something is corrupted. My question is, what wrong is here ? And by the way - how to create filter copying all messages from IMAP to Local Folders ? Is better way then filter3 looking for random string in the subject or somewhere else ? Thank you.
