Hi, I' ve been using Thunderbird for years with no problems, but the other day my servier changed their settings and now Thunderbird won't recieve any of e-mails. They sent me settings and finally I figured out them to work on my phone, but not on Thunderbird. The new serivcers address is "ny201.whpservers.com" and the incoming port is 995 and the outgoing port is 465. I used the same settings that I used for my phone, but they won't work on Thunderbird. I'm supose to use SSL for incoming/outgoing messages and when I use testing connection to server I get a message of "The certificate for mail.dostie.net:995 is not valid for that server. Someone could be trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue." Can you please provide help to resolve this issue.

Thank you Donald Dostie

I have a number of pop3 accounts with the same mail host, but suddenly one of them gives me the message "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

I use Thunderbird on two Windows machines, and the problem is on both, so it is something in the interaction with the server, however, there is no problem accessing the mail via webmail directly on the server.

I have tried to change password on the account, but the problem did not go away. In fact, I got the box to tell me that the old password did no longer work, so I know that the problem pops up after log in to the account. Before the error message appears, the message "downloading 208 messages" (or something similar) briefly appears.

Is there a way to find out exactly what fails?

It's been almost a week now, and my 2 Microsoft email accounts will not connect to Thunderbird anymore. All was fine for years, but something changed that I can't figure out!?! I have gone to my Microsoft email server and checked that my passwords still work. I even updated one and it works on Microsoft server but not Thunderbird's!?!? I even deleted one email account from Thunder bird to re-install it, but when I tried a fresh re-install Thunderbird still won't connect to Microsoft server??? I'm at my wits end, and may abandon Thunderbird completely if someone there doesn't help me connect!!!

Since yesterday (27 Apr 2026) any and all mail that comes into Thunderbird gets marked as SPAM. I searched online and found people saying that I could reset the junk training filter, so I did this, but incoming mail was still marked as spam. The next suggestion was to delete the training.dat file. Did that, restarted Thunderbird and incoming messages are still marked as spam. The last suggestion was to turn off adaptive junk mail controls. Didn't want to do that because I assumed that it would let spam through. Nope. Turned it off, restarted Thunderbird and two emails from my work came in and got flagged.

I'm running version 140.10.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 11. I am using IMAP to connect to the mail server but it's not running any spam detection software (like Spamassassin). I know this because it's my server and even if it was, no updates have been preformed since the first of this month and this just started happening yesterday. Combine this with the bug that Thunderbird notifies me of incoming mail, even if it's spam (didn't post about this because there are plenty going back a couple of years), is starting to make me look for an alternative.

OK, so I see where others Thunderbird users have previously asked about why e-mails are disappearing from their Thunderbird junk folder but have a quite different problem. So, when I go to my junk folder momentarily all the mails are present, but then right before my eyes 2 or 3 just simply disappear! They truly disappear and are nowhere in any folder on Thunderbird account -trash, archives, sent, etc. I did the obvious and Googled and there are some informative posts about Thunderbird settings for time-outs and filters and automatic deletion - BUT, BIG BUT all my settings conform already to all their suggestions on these various web posts. So at my wits end I ask the folks in the community if they have any explanation as to why e-mails in junk folder on Thunderbird literally just disappear in front of me. I would be greatly appreciative of any suggestions.

I was a Thunderbird user for a long time, and so signed up for monthly donations in support. But I ended Thunderbird use when switching to a new computer, and now I'd like to cease that monthly automatic billing. But the Donor Portal doesn't work - the login link is never sent. So how do I terminate this monthly billing?
