I have ended up with five different calendars. They all have different names--probably because I really don't understand how Thunderbird organizes things in regard to the rest of the internet. Several people in our household share calendars, to keep track of events, tasks due, and medications.

So how do I consolidate all the entries in all of these calendars? I have tried syncing, but that doesn't seem to work. How can I know that when I enter a soccer schedule on (one of) my calendars, it will end up on the calendar that my wife uses to print out our family weekly schedule?

Hi, I'm a new user. I cannot send email. Receive is ok.

I get this prompt: Password required for outgoing (SMTP) Server mailhost.zen.co.uk So I add the password, but then I get this error: Login to server mailhost.zen.co.uk with username zen53214 failed. Retry - Enter new password - Cancel I add a new password (the one I use on the zen webmail portal) and I get this message: Sending of the message failed. Unable to authenticate to Outgoing server (SMTP) AUTH command not available at this time. Please check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in 'Account Settings | Outgoing server (SMTP)'. The outgoing server setup is the following: Description: zen53214 Server name: mailhost.zen.co.uk Port: 857 Connection security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal Password User name: zen53214

There is a sync issue with zen email password but I cannot change it on the zen portal, because the password in ThunderBird doesn't have a special character and Zen will not let me change the existing password to one that doesn't have a special character.

What can I do to resolve? Please help. I'd like to stay with ThunderBird email.

Thanks!

Thunderbird 143.0.1 eclipse.

Quite recently I noticed that, in the list of folders, I see 2 "Junk" folders.

On looking at the properties for 1 Junk folder the location is shown as "imap://*********%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Junk",

but properties for the other shown as Junk locates as "imap://*********%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Spam".

I've tried renaming that folder in Thunderbird to Spam but the change doesn't take effect.

What went wrong, and more importantly how can I rename it to see it as "Spam"?

tnx.

I have just upgraded to Thunderbird 102.15.1 on my laptop and have a problem with right-click menus on folder names.

The menu appears for a brief instant and then disappears. If I move the mouse cursor slightly then it is redrawn and behaves normally.

Is this a known problem, i.e. requiring a further upgrade?

When I try entering a password , it is not recognized and I have to click on cancel in order to proceed. I have used what I recall was my password but it is recognized, but I don't get a message telling me it is the wrong password. How can I get back to the previous version that did not ask for my Password. Is that an option?

Hello, Having followed the advice as under: If you've previously made use of Firefox Sync, please make sure you're signed into your Mozilla account and have enabled Bookmarks within your Sync settings, because Firefox will automatically download any available data from our sync servers as long as you are logged into the account you used to sync.

Additionally, please consider that if your bookmarks are still available in the local storage of another device, signing into Sync on these devices will let you upload this account data and make your data accessible on any other devices you enable Sync on.

Andd checking the the Bookmarks tick-box was checked [as was last attempt] I tried to sign in to open the required page, but got 2 x 'error' windows, as attached, one for enail address [been using this for 2 yaers] and the other for password [how did I get this page up with the wrong password??]

I'm obviously a very dim Brit . . . . . please would you advise me as clearly as possible about whatv the heck is going wrong, thanx Kr CB

Hi, I have been using TB for many years, when suddenly 4 days ago ( Feb. 1st.) it started as a brand new install, asking to set up a new account, I got no previous warnings or had other issues.

Since then I have done several attempts to get it connected with my profile, among others: - Everything from this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data - Importing the Profile from Functions > Import > "Import from another Thunderbird installation" - Reinstalling TB ( without removing the profile)

All of it with no succes, there is no accounts, and no mails, only some empty local folders so I'm running out of good ideas, and I really hope you can help!

BTW, somehow the addressbook has content, as the only thing.

Thanks Best regards Preben
