I thing Thunderbird is the nicest email to use but

I have an old "live" account, a "G mail" account and a newer "Outlook" account. They all receive emails fine. The G mail account will send emails. The other two will not. Can I get the setting for smtp for both live and outlook please. I have searched for some time and find different suggestions. Thank you, Garry

I get the following error message when trying to send an email:

"Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp-server.wi.rr.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 can send an email from my iPhone without a problem. I have two other Thunderbird email accounts on my iMac which wok fine. I have compared settings on all three accounts and they are the same. Thankyou

I am using Thunderbird to access my Hotmail account. It has been working but now I cannot send emails. My research says I need to change the SMTP authentication method to OAUTH2 but that option is not in the drop down list. Thunderbird says it is currently up to date. How do I fix this?

How can I fix this?

I don't want the Thunderbird to download all messages from server. I want to "tell him" - Don't download messages where "From:" is "something@something.com".

Is this simple task is achivable in Thunderbird?

PS I don't care is it POP or IMAP. It doesn't matter. What matters is can I tell Thunderbird (maybe by filters) - don't download specified messages from server?

I follow the instructions, i.e. I go to the account configuration and move individual accounts as I wish, i.e. I move some to the top and others down. Unfortunately, there is no "save settings" option. Therefore, nothing changes and as soon as I exit the "account configuration" window, everything is exactly as it was before the change. What am I doing wrong?

So I want a different menu from the default top line menu. I can get the line for my input to appear. I can move the icons I want into position. But I CANNOT get the system to accept that. There is no no button "accept as create". It all disappears when I do anything.

Hi there, I still have a problem with the settings in Thunderbird. I have set the column headers differently. But fixing them does not work. There is no button for that either. When I move an email to another folder, it takes the column header setting with it, often the default. Also when you create a new folder it gets the default "Toggel Message Thread", which is exactly what I don't want. There must be a setting somewhere that allows you to set and fix a different order of the column headers by default. In this forum "extensions.set-default-columns@clear-code.com.order" was recommended somewhere. But it is no longer available. After a lot of searching I still haven't found the solution. And it is still very annoying. Please help, all advice is welcome!

In the main window of the application, in my opinion, an excessively large window appears (approx. 40% of the application area!!!) asking for support (donation). Does a one-time payment (donation) eliminate this window once and for all? I am thinking of abandoning this application, the size is too distracting, too irritating

I have been reminded by Microsoft that Thunderbird will be unable to access my Outlook account after Sept 16th. I have followed the instructions on the MS help site to re-configure Thunderbird, but when I try to change the Authentication on the outgoing server settings OAuth2 does not appear as an option. I've been using Thunderbird with no issues for years and I'd hate to lose it... Thanks Nigel

The curse of the behemoth yet again? I refer to the ‘new’ imposition imposed by Microsoft with their ‘new’ authorisation and authentification nonsense when attempting to log in to account/s via Thunderbird. Why this is necessary when it is possible to log in via the usual manner direct is any body’s guess. My personal opinion is that it is a sordid and underhannd way of forcing us to subscribe to Outlook 365? Cynical me? For numerous reasons I need and use 6 e-mail accounts, sadly all Microsoft (outlook.com, hotmail.com. .co.uk and last but not least live.com). No need to explain why the excellent Thunderbird is used and has been for nigh on 15 years+. Over the past couple of months I have tried every conceivable configuration supplied by the support team and other poor users in the same position as me. None have solved my problem. I surely cannot be alone? I do not object to change if it is of benefit but this is madness. For the time being Thunderbird is redundant and the daily grind of signing in individually via Microsoft faces me everyday. Both time consuming and arguably pointless. If someone has a definitive solution please let me know. There must be one?
