Thunderbird will no longer send E-Mail but still works for incoming E-Mail. It provides the following error message:

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) outbound.att.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

The Outgoing server is configured as follows: AT&T / outbound.att.net / 465 / SSL/TLS / Normal Password / E-Mail

This configuration has not been changed in years. Everything I can find on line suggests this configuration should still work. Any suggestions you could provide would be appreciated.

Wenn ich Thunderbird öffne erscheint immer folgende Frage:

Geben Sie ihr Passwort für "[edited]@bluewin.ch" auf imaps.bluewin.ch ein.

Wo finde ich dieses Passwort? Sonst kann ich Thunderbird nicht benutzen.

Hi there!

I'm a long time user of Firefox, on and off since roughly 2004.

I just saw the Mozilla blog post about Anthony Enzor-Demeo taking over as Mozilla's CEO this morning and am writing here in an attempt to find a way to reach out to anyone within the Mozilla Foundation regarding the direction the Firefox application has been headed, and try to make myself and similar minds within the Firefox community heard about the changes that Mozilla has made to its policies and direction.

In February 27th of this year, Mozilla changed Firefox's ToS and Privacy Notices to incorporate legally binding policies for the application and strip it of its original privacy-first, open-source nature. This, while not a deterministic factor in how the application operates; illustrates a sudden, outward and hostile stance towards its existing user-base who is most commonly comprised of users dissatisfied with the lack of secure and private browser options available. Personally, I refuse to use Chromium-based web engines wherever possible and Firefox has been my one and only way to break from this "monopoly" of web engines.

Beginning to harvest user data for use by Mozilla and claiming ownership of any user content is immediately a massive breach of trust and contradicts what Mozilla as an organization has stood for since its inception. Going a step further to utilize this data to either be sold to advertisers as an asset, or to be used to train LLM's is exactly what I DON'T want to have happen with my data. I hate that this change happened and it massively reduced my trust in Mozilla and Firefox as a platform.

I never asked for this, Mozilla promised that it would never happen, and now I'm left betrayed by broken promises made with the express intent to turn a profit on my behalf as a user.

In Anthony's blog post, he mentions how AI has reshaped how people search, shop and make decisions in ways that were hard to see or understand. I outwardly disagree with this statement and feel as though AI has "infected" its way through society by brute force, being put in front of every user and shoved in every application. LLM's are not a catchall solution, do not help resolve issues in new and innovative ways, and are massively misused, causing excessive resource usage, gutting consumer markets, and decimating the tech industry by causing excessive amounts of data centers and global tech inventories to be purchased and built with no promise of delivery.

While I may want a fast, modern browser that is honest about what it does- I want that with no obscurity. I want a web engine that is open source, as lightweight and minimal in its design and coding as possible; and with no bureaucracy. I want to know how the engine works, to have the option to review its codebase front to back, to have my data stay as my data on my own local machine without providing it to a third party simply by using an application. Mozilla with its changes since February of this year have removed this as a possibility from their entire application suite.

I don't want AI in my browser- AT ALL. I have disabled it in every capacity that I can (frustratingly too, as these are all enabled by default and FORCE me to provide you my data without express consent.) and with every advancement Mozilla makes towards calling it "the future" and "the focal point", I lose trust. I don't want AI, I want the old privacy policy put back, and I really, well and truly and wholly, DO NOT WANT AI.

I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS, IT'S RUINING OUR LIVES, OUR SOCIETY, OUR PLANET, AND I WANT IT GONE.

Unless Mozilla stops this direction today, I will be seeking out new options, disallowing Firefox usage in any corporate environments within my jurisdiction, and actively informing friends, family and acquaintances of Mozilla and Firefox's fall from grace, and to utilize other user-centric options.

Thank you for your attention, have a great day, and I hope Mozilla can create action that will allow its users to trust it once again.

I have several folders defined under 'Local Folders'. Two ('Mark_emails' and 'Mums_emails') have been renamed as 'Sent'..... so I now have 3 'Sent' folders! Looking at the properties of one of these, shows:

       Name:  Sent
       Location: mailbox://nobody@LocalFolders/Mark_emails

I can't change the name back to 'Mark_emails'. I've tried Repair, to no avail. I can't delete it either.

It's a similar situation with 'Mums_emails'

I want to keep the emails that these folders contain.

I'm using Thunderbird 146.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11.

"Message In Conversation" has disappeared from my emails , so I can't see the thread I right click & only get the top 2 options BUT not the essential , messages prior so I can remember whats gone on & proofs I've sent etc

On 1 of our 2 computers here , ( top image what I have ... Bottom what my wife had & what had until several agonising months ago )

Any help/ solutions be very appreciated Craig , New Zealand

Hello, I am using thunderbird for two different aol accounts. Both receive mail on thunderbird. However, one of them does not allow me to send messages when I am in that mailbox. I checked the saved passwords, and both have the regular password for incoming mail, but a complex password for outgoing. oauth:login.aol.com(mail-w) Please advise. I did not want to do anything that might erase my saved emails for the one account. Thanks!

I have an entry in my address book which I want to update. I right click on the listing and a popup menu appears which includes "Edit". I select that, make changes, but I find no way to SAVE the changes I entered. How do I save the changes?

When i receive email with linkages i am getting this reply when link is used

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

I was editing a contact synced by TBSync from a gmail account.

I created a new note section and added some information that included ":" and newlines.

After saving, only the first line was saved. I tried to edit again to add the information a few times without success, then the entire contact was wiped of information, but still existed.

The blank contact can still be searched by the original name, so something still existed there.

After a restart, the contact is completely gone.

I created a new contact and tried to reproduce the problem by entering similar information, but had no further problem.

Mostly, I just wanted to log this event in case others have the problem.
