How can I change the order of my email accounts? I need to be able to move 1 or more accounts from the bottom of the list to the top of the list. I have Thunderbird 128.6.0

I have recently added a third email account (gmail) which works fine until I turn off the computer. When I turn it on again my 2 existing accounts are there automatically, but the new one does not reappear. I need to go through the "add new account" again to use it. It seems like I have missed something simple in the settings.

While trying to locate the ID#s for all 15 different email accounts managed by my TB desktop app, I discovered that there are two instances of a gmail account, but with different ID#s (although only one appears in my home screen). I've found no way of determining which one is valid, and I can't risk losing my main gmail account if I try to delete one and choose the wrong one. Does anyone have any ideas I might try, to determine which one is the "extra" and how this happened? I've tried looking at the source code for emails in that account, but can't find any ID# referenced there.

Some time ago I switched from provider A to provider B, in both cases with IMAP accounts. I did not copy mails from A to B. After cancelling the contract with A, Thunderbird cannot connect there anymore and asks for the password instead. I assumed I could just deactivate the syncing in the server settings but did not find a way to do that. I also thought that I could still access the mails that were synced before the cancellation but the mail list stays empty.

- How can I make Thunderbird stop from trying to connect to provider A? As far as I saw, I cannot leave the server settings empty. - How can I access my old mails? Can I somehow move or import them to account B?

Thanks!

Searches and AI tell me to use "Account Actions" on the account settings page but I see no "Account Actions" on my Thunderbird.

Thunderbird 128.10.0esr MacOS 15.5

Am I just blind? Am I looking in the right place? I could swear I've done this before without any trouble.

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 keep getting an alert saying I need to update my email account. How do I do that? (BOTH of my email accounts work fine on my home computer, but neither works on my classroom computer. I'm a teacher).

I can get as far as add email and password, when I click continue I can't get any further, just get a round swirly blue circle for ever.

I saw an answer that said don't add the password at this stage, but if I don't add the password the continue button is not available

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 am trying to turn off the message that I get saying "Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account". I cannot figure out how to turn this off.

Just make it stop. I reply to deny but it keeps coming up.

Just make it stop.

Yes..I've read the solution for this. Create seperate SMPT accounts with their own unique user name connected to the account in question and make sure they have the right smpt user name etc (tools>account settings>outgoing server (SMPT)> EDIT.

I haver a list of all my hotmail (and yahoo) accounts in there with the appropriate SMPT settings and user names unique to each account.

But when sending an email, it STILL errors-out with something like 'user1@hotmail.com not allowed to send mail as username2@hotmail.co.uk'.

I don't know where to go with this - thunderbird appears to insist on mixing up the identities despite me telling it otherwise.

I want to delete my Firefox account. But while trying to sign in it required a verification code sent to my email address. The problem is I don't have access to that email address (it has been deleted). So I can't receive the verification code. In that case how can I delete my account?

Originally downloaded and installed Thunderbird 140.3.1, created an Outlook account, but no folder other than an Inbox. Uninstalled Thunderbird, downloaded and installed Thunderbird 140.3.0, same issue, no folders other than an Inbox. Both configured using incoming server imap-mail.outlook.com, outgoing server smtp-mail.outlook.com. Windows 10, Outlook works okay as stand alone.

I am trying to get away from GMAIL and I already contribute to Mozilla as I use Firefox for all of my browsing. I purchased access to Mailfence thinking I would be able to use start using Thunderbird with it, but but I get an error indicationg that my password or configuration may be wrong when trying to complete "Setup Using Your Existing Email Address".

Help please!

My 'sent', 'All Mail', 'Spam'; and 'draft' and 'templates' folders in my gmail account in Thunderbird have suddenly disappeared My other account looks fine, as is my husband's account I have deleted the account from thunderbird and reloaded it but it remains the same. My gmail account on my ipad and iphone still have the all correct folders in place Can you help please - ?

Me and my colleague are using the same email account on Thunderbird. How do I delete the account from only my Thunderbird app? My colleague will still need access to it.

Impossible d'enregistrer mon compte "hotmail.com" dans thunderbird. "erreur identifiant ou mot de passe" alors que ceux ci sont justes (vérifiés sur le site outlook). Quelle solution ? Merci
