I have downloaded Thunderbird from official Mozilla homepage. It seems to be installed correct. I got the icon and a question : should we start Thunderbird now. I answer yes. Then I get the message : Thunderbird is not found ? but I have just loaded it ? I am running windows 11 and I have got newest upgrade.

Hope you can help me out. Thx in advance. Regards Thorvald Antvorskov

PS I also have a PC running Linux Mint. Loading Thunderbird here was no problem.

As of today, I am unable to link to, or log onto, my email server - gmx.com..... Have never had a problem until today.

Today, when I opened up Thunderbird, ALL my email accounts came back with an error message stating that the login to the server failed (see attachment). I don't know what happened.

I checked all of my settings, and they are all correct (according to GMX), I tried to re-enter my passwords, and even re-booted my computer in the off chance that there may have been a booting issue. Nothing helped.

Can someone tell me what's going on? Why is Thunderbird all of a sudden not linking with the email servers? How do we fix this when all of the protocols are correct - and have been all along? Any thoughts, suggestions, or advice?

Thank you....

Running Thunderbird 140.6.0esr in Windows 11. This afternoon I found that one of my three accounts no longer shows up in the folder pane, though it still appears normally in the account settings tab. I can still send mail from it, but can't receive any. The other two accounts appear in the folder pane as usual and can send and receive normally.

Any help getting the account back into the folder pane would be appreciated. -- tralfaz

I have used Thunderbird for many years and and have loved it. However, recently my "Local Folders Inbox" have been extremely slow (deleting emails, reviewing an email, etc.). I have tried every suggestion that I have found without any change: reducing emails in the folder (down to about 75 remaining), compacting and repairing the folder, deleting and rebuilding all of the msf files and global database, disabling all addons, empty trash and junk, clear the cache, disable hardware acceleration, exclusion in antivirus, etc. It has become very frustrating. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

For the last two days, every time I start Thunderbird, a pop-up requests me to log in into Google Calendar. I have followed what little advice I can find:

• Unsubscribed/deleted all calendars
• Deleted all Gmail Accounts
• Deleted all saved passwords, and re-entered them only for my current email accounts.

How do I get rid of this irritating and unnecessary pop-up? I have updated to v128.14 but the problem persists.

Thanks in advance.

On more than one occasion I get the following message after sending an email. I'm told that a copy of my outgoing email has not been saved in the sent box:

"access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-aidan@clockwork1.plus.com."

Is there any way that I can overcome this issue and have a copy saved automatically, please?

I receive the following error message: Not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash, and compacting your mail folders and then try again.

I get the message when I want to download new emails. The suggestions to fix the problem DO NOT WORK. I cannot compact, the Trash is empty and I know there is GB's of space on my C: drive, which contains all Windows software. What to do?

I am using Protonmail with Thunderbird. In my Protonmail web account there is nothing in ANY folder but the very few I am currently keeping, including All Mail. The same folders and messages are represented in Thunderbird folders. However, in C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\wiu0xbpg.default-release\ImapMail\127.0.0.1, the All Mail folder contains all previous messages, including deleted messages, are still present. When I delete a message, I want it deleted. As can be seen in the attached image, All Mail is very large whereas all other folders are very small. 1. How can this be cleaned up? 2. How can this be prevented in the future? Thanks for any direction in this matter.

j'ai ajouté à thunderbird mon compte de messagerie infomaniak . l'intégration s'est faite correctement, mais je ne peux pas envoyer de mail à partir de thunderbird infomaniak sauf si je remplace le serveur sortant mail.infomaniak.com par smtp.gmail.com. quelqu'un sait ce qu'il se passe?

I can send but not received emails from my several accounts. I know there's email on some, as I can see and read them with Mailwasher.

I have noticed previous posts here with the same problem, but I haven't seen a viable solution. (I'm on a new computer since last week.)

Running Thunderbird 140.8.0esr 64bit Windows 11 Home, v25H2 932GB storage 32GB ram i7-13700k

Recently, I've started getting the following message every time I launch Thunderbird: "The certificate for imap.googlemail.com does not come from a trusted source."

Digging into details I get: "you are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site" "Location: imap.googlemail.com:993" "This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information" "Unknown Identity. The certificate is not trusted because it hasn't been verified as issued by a trusted authority using a secure signature."

Digging deeper into the certificate I find the issuer is Bitdefender who I use for antivirus and VPN. However, the VPN shows no effect when enabled or disabled. The validity period is 2 Feb 2026 to 27 Apr 2026

l can get email, but cant send it. Is Bitdefender at fault?

I'm stumped. What should I do???

New computer, trying to install Thunderbird. "Download" created a file called Unconfirmed 750544.crdownload which isn't executable and doesn't seem to do anything. How do I proceed to do an installation?

I'm reading this> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-export#thunderbird:linux:tb148 Looks great but all of my messages sit on IMAP servers and I don´t need a backup of those. I _do_ need a backup of settings, passwords, pgp keys, to move to another workstation. It is unclear what exactly is exported.

I am having trouble sending in email, i have gmail server (i am getting a time out error) i have the latest version of thunderbird i am receiving message ok, just cant send
