For a week, I have not been able to send any emails through Thunderbird.

This is the only day that I have been able to delve further into the problem.

If I send an email, this is the response that I get after sending. Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.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.

I have contacted my main provider and they have been useless. I contacted my secondary provider and they sent me what the settings should be. I checked their info against mine and everything is correct.

I prefer Mozilla products over all others and I wish to get this corrected sooner later, I have two assignments to send over the weekend.

I would rather being doing something else that trying to figure out this problem.

I should be celebrating or mourning the passing of my wife 3 years ago, than trying to figure out what is wrong.

One thing I did do was to go to the Mozilla website and download Thunderbird again in case there was a conflict somewhere in the system.

Thanking you in advance. K

I have been using Thunderbird to access my email at optusnet.com.au mail server. Thunderbird is no longer working with this account - webmail is functioning.

Optus support say they cannot tell me how to configure Thunderbird to access optusnet.com.au email accounts after some changes. They told me to contact Thunderbird support to get correct server configuration settings.

Can you assist with this please. Regards Murray

Two websites I went to using Firefox today displayed the date as 6\18\2025. Today is 6\19\2025. One of them displayed the July 2025 calendar and would not allow me to click back to June. I have two Firefox Extensions on, UBlock Original and Chameleon. Any idea what may be causing this. I'm using a MAC.

For some reason Firefox remembered my phone number and is now trying to use it as a login when I attempt to login or register in any service. I've checked my saved passwords and autofill data, but I cannot find it, there's only usernames and passwords, and I have no saved autofill data, no phone number. Where can I look for it to remove it?

Good morning from germany,

I am a multiple year subscriber and wanted to watch game 6 before going to work (it is around 6 am over here) but the player isn´t running and it states that games can not be played, even the recap doesn´t start. Other videos are running as on youtube and other social networks. I switched a VPN from location germany to location USA to off but nothing works. I am using the newest version of mozilla firefox.

Can you give me some help what I can watch in order to watch the last two Finals games as well?

Thx guys

Hello Team, I installed thunderbird yesterday and so far its looking promising and actually I started to like it. But when on my first email draft I tried to use search and replace (Ctrl + h), I was not getting any highlighted letter on pressing 'Find Next'. When I press on 'Replace' still 'Find Next' button is highlighted and also nothing seems to be replaced. It is only when I close the Find and Replace window I see my changes. I am attaching picture for your reference. If this is not standard feature then please provide support to fix this issue.

I suspect I am PH#€%ed. Am I eligible for a miracle?

S10+ 139.0.4 NOT set up to sync | see attached for specs

In the bookmarks toolbar, I have many folders. I had one named Reference and one named Research. A few weeks ago after a big update my bookmarks had somehow nested multiple copies nested weirdly.

I messaged for help through the Garg app store, and a developer said to please file a ticket with support. I MEANT to do it, but time got away, and I'd already cut the sync and done a lot of cleanup.

I'd removed this phone from sync (no SIM, no cellular connection for the last year, but I use it on Wifi—I carry it around a lot for note-taking when I get brain dumps from people).

I discovered two Reference folders— one in the Toolbar and one in Bookmarks. I moved the one in Bookmarks to the Toolbar, and then moved everything in it into the other Reference folder, which had more, figuring I'd go through and delete the dupes at some point.

I then deleted the empty Reference folder and got the question, "Are you sure you want to delete the selected items [you IDtenT]?"

I confidently clicked yes, not realising my stupid fat finger had clicked on the RESEARCH folder to delete.

I may be able to find some of it to sync or sneaker net from elsewhere but there were swathes of unique addresses in that damn folder. I tried to search bookmarks for the folder and then for any folder. I tried to search "Internal Storage" for any whisper, and Apps which I hardly have any read access to in the file tree without success.

I read the readme called Manage Bookmark Folders in Firefox, plus a couple of hours of additional readme reading and flailing... but I cannot find the answer to a short list of pertinent questions.

1. How does one search/find a bookmark FOLDER, a regular one, which some ahole hasn't deleted?

2. Don't the help articles mention an UNDO option when deleting individual tabs and bookmarks? Sorry, bit of a swivet, but is there an undo for folders? I found no such offering mentioned when deleting an entire folder. I'm assuming no, but... (this might be a good place to mention (while I'm headbanging my desk) that some *other* browsers contain a numeric in their deletion warning, rather than a ubiquitous "these items", whether it's an empty folder or full), hope will spring. Biat£#.

3. Third and final— is there any way for someone without access to costly forensic software to recover this data?

A lifetime of backup, backup, redundant backups is mocking me, so please don't laugh at my self-induced misery. If there's no remedy, give it to me straight.

TIA, Alex

i'm an android phone user (A15) and i really don't like mobile website layouts, particularly when most websites fit elements to the screen aspect ratio instead of letting me pan around a more traditional 16:9 webpage. i've tried all sorts of user agent and javascript spoofing, but nothing really beats firefox's native "desktop site" toggle, but it sadly doesn't stay on across different tabs or sessions and i have to turn it on manually every time. it should be pretty simple to add this feature, and i'm sure that there's a lot of support for it too. thanks!

Will Thunderbird Release make it any easier to migrate Thunderbird from Win10 to Linux (Ubuntu or Mint)... With 200 million PCs becoming obsolete in a few months, I would think Mozilla would have noted that many of us are going to migrate to Linux but moving Thunderbird has been a nightmare (still unsuccessful nightmare). I've followed all the directives and none seem to work... I've been using TBird since it started and have a LOT of emails I'd prefer not to lose so if I could just get my Windows profile to work on Linux it would be great... I know you're busy, but we are facing an Armageddon of sorts out here... Help! Thanks a million cheers pj
