Threads are a pain. It seems that Thunderbird decides when to create a thread and then emails no not appear in date order on the inbox list. Clicking on "ignore threads" seems to lose them completely rather than ingnoring just the thread. Any future emails on the old thread can only be found by searching for the sender! Please, Thunderbird, allow me to chose if I need a thread. Also, how do I disable threads completely so that incoming emails appear in date order in my inbox?

I suddenly cannot receive new messages, for the last 5 days I didn't change anything (in fact was out of town) but now I get an Error that says "Login to account ________ failed. Login to server mail.nctvocom with username ________ failed."

I have somehow lost the blue "write new message" icon that used to be just above my email address. Can't find it or figure out how to get it back. It may have said "compose new message" I don't remember. Thanks for any help

Hi Thunderbird keeps asking for my password

I followed the solution below

To stop Thunderbird from asking for password every time you send an email, do this: In Thunderbird, click Tools, Account Settings, and in left pane, click "Outgoing Server" Click Edit. Under "Security and Authentication" DESELECT "Use name and password" Click OK and again OK

However Under Securuty and Authetication I do not get the option to DESELECT and Click OK twice. But I do have authentication method where I can change from Normal password, or No Authentication, or Encrypted password....

Hope you can help What can I do? Thanks Richard

Good Morning Thunderbird is not receiving emails from any of my accounts? I have checked all server settings etc and everything is correct. I know my emails are working as I am still receiving them to my mobile device without a problem. Please can you advise if their is a problem with Thunderbird that is the reason behind this?

TB 128.5.2esr (64-bit) on Windows 11, using unified layout.

Not sure if I did something last year (and previous years presumably) to set this up, but TB has always archived incoming messages in a folder under the account, in a subfolder whose name is the year. For example, see the attached screenshot.

I was expecting that when Jan 1st came long, TB would do the same, but store them in a 2025 folder. However, it hasn't, and I'm not sure where this year's archived messages are. As you can see, there isn't a 2025 folder. If I click on the main Archives node, I can see the messages, but I'm not sure where they are. If I go to the account settings and look in the "Copies & folders" section, there is an "Archive options..." button. Clicking that pops up a window that has three radio buttons, the selected one being "Yearly archived folders" so I would have expected this to work.

Anyone able to explain how I get it to store archived messages in a 2025 folder under the account in Archives?

Thanks

This happened once before, then started working again for a few months and now doing it again. When I start up Thunderbird the emails will not load. I keeps saying "not responding." After around five minutes or so a couple of emails will load and then it's back to "not responding." Then another few or more minutes of waiting and another couple of emails download and back to "not responding." This goes on for hours. Tonight I have been waiting for eight hours and I'm still waiting with no end in sight. I can't do anything else with email until it finishes. This is very frustrating. Can you help?

I have used Thunderbird for what seems a lifetime and never had any big issues. But ever since the Outlook requirement for Oauth arrived, it has been a horror show. I can not send emails on Gmail or Outlook accounts. And the the email password gets reset to a weird and very long creation under the SMTP category. And now my Titan email accounts neither send or receive. All of this worked before. I am at my wits end .... as I really do like how T/Bird worked .... and would like to continue to use it. And I have donated funds on several occasions.

I want to know how to make a rule that forwards incoming mail to a sub folder in Tbird.

I am a convert from Outlook which has gotten unusable for gmail clients. I am happy with this mail but would like to make some rules to forward incoming mail to sub folders like "work" or "friends". Is there a way?

All of the sudden today I can't send email from Thunderbird. Incoming email fine. However whenever I try to send I get a server timeout error. This has been working fine for years up until today. This is the message; Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtphm.sympatico.ca timed out. Try again.

Hi, Whenever I receive an email that has a HTTP link within it when you "click" on the link nothing happens.

You have to click on the link and use the "Copy Link Location" option, open a browser and paste it into the address bar and it will go to the relevant page as shown in the email.

For me, the links do not automatically open in any of the browsers that are on my laptop - Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge or Firefox without copying the link first.

Please let me know if any additional information is required to help solve this issue.

Unable to send emails from my Laptop. Drop down box says "Outgoing server (SMTP) failed. I have compared settings on PC and are the same as the laptop. Have contacted my server provider and that is all ok. Can send emails from Optus webmail, but not from Thunderbird. Can send emails from the PC and that has Thunderbird also.

The Menu at the top of e-mail to be sent disappeared so I can's send e-mail. I was able to click "File" and then click "Send Now" for a few days but the menu bar just disappeared. k.blair@sunflower.com
