I have two gmail accounts in Thunderbird- sending from Gmail 2 results a reply that goes to Gmail 1. It seems two separate outgoing server settings need to be used, with the same details but different names. I tried just renaming one, but the other one then adopts that name. Thank you for the help.

i have pop3 account and unchecked leave on server - but greyed and checked out is a 'leave for a maximum' which i have as 1 day, there doesnt seem to be an option to uncheck this? I dont want them on the server which is why i chose pop account. yet when i open web account, the emails already downloaded using the pop account are still there even thoug they were downloaded days ago. Why is this and how do stop this? is there a 'leave copy on server' box to uncheck that I am missing? i want to use pop to remove from server and just use locally but its not doing what i thought it would, which is remove from setver. Also it keeps repeating downloading from years ago so I was hoping that when the server synced it would stop downloading the ones it has already (mulitple times) I made an imap account to try to sort emails that way but it also shows old emails still on server. Should i delet this imap account as I already have a pop account running? Very confused. Help figuring out what to do appreciated.

Every 10 minutes I get an "authentication required" popup from a deleted icloud email account. I've looked, and there are no cookies or data or anything in the profiles folders referring to this dead account.

How do I make it go away?

I received an email stating that I wanted to create a new account. Not so ,not sure how someone was able to so this. Not sure which email I am supposed to sign in at. Bit I have had it for over 10 years. But never had to sign in. So I do not wnat my emails to be deleted, so how do we fix this. I also have donated to Mozilla over the years. I enjoy having it. So where do we go from here

Using Thunderbird 146 on Win 10. Trying to add existing mail accounts as already did in early Thunderbird 17. 1. one pop account (gmx.net) added successfully. 2. one imap account (gmx.net) added successfully. 3. trying to set up further pop accounts of gmx.net end in waiting loop although data check of program is ok. Checked and verified muliple times server data, account and pw.

Hello, i have three PCs with installed Tunderbird. On one of them i want to add a new mail-account. If i follow the instruction here: [https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/automatisch-konto-konfigurieren#thun...], it leads to an input mask (not a Tab!!!), where i can enter an account-name and the mail-address. Clicking on Continue some automatic search is started but never stops (=> screenshot).

As i tried to do it several times now and tried to find other solutions, red instruction etc., i write now. Also: Im not sure if it is a bug.

I already mentioned in the beginnig: I have three PCs here. I used one of the others compare, wehere it works as described in the documentation (not an input-mask, but a Tab). So the probem occurs only on this PC, not on the other. Systems: Not working on win11 Thunderbird 144.0.1 (64-Bit) Working on win10 Thunderbird 144.0.0esr (64-Bit)

Until recently I have had both my ****@****.plus.com and my ****@aol.com displayed when I open thunderbird on my desk top now I only have one. Can anyone tell me the settings to show a menu with both emails their folders, deleted, trash etc in one place. Thanks

I just have received an email from <Mozilla <accounts@firefox.com> inform me that for 2 years I do not use the products <<Firefox Sync, το Mozilla Monitor, το Firefox Relay και το MDN>>. However I daily use - every day -the mozilla firefox for internet. Is something wrong ? </p>

Thank you very much

I am trying to have all my comcast emails and folders and sub-folders added to Thunderbird as a new user. At first I used POP3 and every email loaded except nothing was sorted by folders so it's a useless mess. Then I tried to add the same email account using IMAP and at first it said permission was denied even though my comcast settings explicitly allows third parties like Thunderbird. And then when I tried multiple times to IMAP again I got an error that comcast.net was not a host name. So what steps should I do now to get all the emails and folders over on Thunderbird? Many thanks.

How do you change the settings for email accounts in Mozilla from an IMAP to POP. With IMAP I cannot download emails to the Mozilla program, with POP3 I can. Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Dennis Leadbetter.

As my subject states, I am a long-time TBird user - not a wizard or expert, but technically savvy. Now ... with version 140.0.1esr (64-bit), I cannot create a new account as easily as I once did on prior versions.

To be clear, my policy has always been to create new accounts for "A, B, C, and D" for each new year like what you see, left to right, in "Image-1." That has made it the easiest for any research about prior received or sent messages.

Attempting to do that now doesn't work. I put info in every panel; I setup for POP3 and enter a new password; then click Continue and get the message you see, left to right, in "Image-2."  :-(

I could really use some specific, successful advice ... PLEASE!  :-)

I realize this is a lousy day for advice!!  :-(

Can any one help please?

I help my brother inlaw with his computer, he has diminished mental capabilities when operating his PC. He has deleted his email address and its associated folders from Thunderbird and I cannot restore them for him. This is the only email address he has and does not remember the original password that was used to add the email address to Thunderbird, some years ago.

Many thanks Richard Ashton

I have TB 145.0 on a Mac.

When my trash gets pretty full, I empty the trash then restart TB just to have a fresh start. Been doing this for years. Well, I did it just now and when TB restarted I got a warning that said Thunderbird is an app I downloaded from the internet, do I trust it? First time that has happened.d I clicked on the button that said to go ahead and open it.

When TB opened, it wasn't aware of any of my email accounts. It's almost like I was opening it for the first time – except for 187 random old emails in an inbox.

Is there a way to recover from this? I had a lot of emails stored in inboxes and outboxes that would be disastrous for me to lose. They aren't there right now.

I'm retiring!!! I have my personal gmail account on Thunderbird (it's IMAP) on my work PC. I want to delete that account, BUT I want my personal emails -- past and present -- to stay on the gmail server. Is this possible?
