Today I started to receive this error message when I went to download emails from my aol account to thunderbird. This is the first time this has happened. "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." We have plenty of disk space so that can't be the problem. I could see many other people are experiencing this problem and there seem to be a variety of solutions depending on the circumstances. We are on Windows 11, we don't have McAfee installed but us Norton antivirus. I tried checking the settings, I've rebooted, and not sure what else to do. I can't remember some of the other comments I read. However, I am not technical and couldn't understand most of the suggested solutions. How do I get remedial help to figure this out?

I cannot send email. I get this same error over and over. I uninstall, and reinstall, the error is still present. Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: Connection refused - [181.215.65.87] blocked by Vade Threat List - ELINK003_101 - https://postmaster-earthlink.vadesecure.com/outbound_error_codes/#_101.

Thunderbird used to work. My POP outbound settings: SMTPAuth.earthlink.net Port 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal Password

I contacted earthlink, they didn't help.

When I send photos from my phone to my imac inbox, same email address, or when a third party sends me a verification code, "get messages" is very slow showing results. Sometimes minutes, so I have to go through several verification attempts. The primary email account is gmail. My ISP is comcast.net. I don't know if this matters, because slow Get Messages is recent. It used to work very well

Thunderbird Email: since Sept 2 Thunderbird update 155, my incoming emails are no longer coming into my inbox with my domain host provider webnames.ca. My other staff members have no problems since the update. The only unique thing I can think of is that with my host provider is that I automatically forward incoming emails to my gmail account. Some other staff automatically forward thunderbird email to another thunderbird email of the same domain name without an issue. I can get incoming emails from my other thunderbird accounts ending in the same domain name. The emails do show up in the forwarded gmail account.

For the last two or three weeks I have had problems with Thunderbird not downloading e mail from Charter for a few days and then it does for another few days, then it doesn't. Back and forth until the last two days it just seems dead, doesn't receive or send anything. What do I do?

Hello everyone! I also had the error, it randomly started moving messages to folders. I deleted everything, reinstalled (155.0.1), started building message filters. I'm at 29 now. (Gmail account) now I'm not getting new messages. For every filter I get a message saying that the filter could not be applied. No messages are coming, anywhere. What's going on?

All my new incoming e-mails are ending up in the trash instead the inbox. This happens since about a week. I have to move all e-mails from the trash to the inbox. There are no active filters, so what is the problem? Also the layout has suddenly changed. Please help.

thunderbird Version 153.2.0esr (64 bits) Hello, following an update, email retrieval is no longer working for an account with a ....@rocketmail.com address. Thunderbird opens a "Yahoo" login window, but when I enter my address, it is flagged as invalid. Fortunately, I am still able to log in to this account via a web browser. (Google translation from French to English)

I can no longer get email from my Yahoo email account. I've gone through all the troubleshooting hints and recommendations, as I understand them, but without any luck.

I only have the one account.

The Activity Manager (see attached) shows "No messages to download", but the message at the bottom left said there were messages, but TB doesn't download them.

On 3 August, Thunderbird was automatically updated on my Mac Mini to Version 155.0. Ever since, all incoming mail is placed in a folder called Satellite Radio, and distribution to the proper mailboxes stops.

Hi all I have recently installed Thunderbird on a PC that didn't have an mail program. Its Win 11 and includes Malwarebytes and Norton 360 for security Thunderbird 154.0, (64 bit)

I followed the set up as I have done many times before and previously had no problem. I am using Plusnet and have set incoming mail as POP3 on port 995. I have set outgoing mail to SMTP and port 465 ( plusnet recommended 587 doesnt work at all) I have set my login name and password. Security is SSL/TLS

Incoming mail is received normally Outgoing mail asks for my password as on attachment Entering a password doesn't work and results in another error message

Any suggestions? Cheers Keith Keith

Any suggestions

I think I posted my question in the wrong place yesterday, because I've had no responses. I will delete that Post.

Since yesterday I have been unable to send emails from any of my email accounts. Most are Microsoft accounts.

The first message attached 'pops up' every time I open / reopen Thunderbird Mail.

I saw something that looked unfamiliar to me under Programs and Features and have attached a screenshot of that, along with a screenshot showing the version of Thunderbird on my desktop PC.

Could updating to the latest version of Thunderbird have caused the problem?

Repeated attempts by Thunderbird to sync have alerted Google security about a gmail account I've been using. gmail requires me to sign in, but after entering my password, won't accept the UK phone number I am required to enter to verify my account. Clicking on 'Try another way' doesn't give me another way, so I'm in danger of losing access to that account.

Is there a quick and easy means by which I can permanently save all my sent and received gmail emails that are presently in Thunderbird?

These will be lost if I have to delete Thunderbird or when my PC fails. I can back up files on my PC but not Thunderbird emails so far as I'm aware.

Inbound emails are going to Trash instead of Inbox.

No changes have been made. How can I check settings to find a solution? I see nothing related to this issue. Thanks for any help.

Again this morning and yesterday I am receiving no incoming messages. The outgoing doesn't work either. You Thunderbird need to find a different server access!!! The server you are using is apparently Connected with my carrier which is Spectrum. They could care less about third parties and they have stated so. Thus nothing gets addressed or fixed!!! I hate to give up on Thunderbird but I might have to. Please help if you can!! Lee Noga

Thunderbird is downloading new messages but failing to display them.

Other functionality remains active, ie I can see and open messages, delete all the contents of folders, compose and send messages, but when the software downloads new messages they simply do not display and cannot be accessed.

Not sure if it's relevant, but the message INBOX count appears to be stuck at the number 59, although more messages than that have been downloaded.

Bizarrely this is the message displayed whenever I now open the Thunderbird application (it was there when the problem first appeared and returns everytime). Out of desperation I even made a donation in the hope it would release the messages!

Thank you in advance, Steve Davidson

Aloha. I'm helping a friend with setting up a new Windows 11 PC, and cannot get Thunderbird to connect to Spectrum's servers. I spent an hour on the phone with Spectrum support and they just gave up and said it must be an issue with Thunderbird. Here are the details:

- Brand new Dell 24 All-in-One EC24250 - Windows 11 25H2 plus all additional fixes. - All Dell drivers updated. - Thunderbird V155.0 64-bit

If I click on 'Get Messages' after a while I get: "Connection to server mail.twc.com timed out". I've gone into the config editor and changed mailnews.tcptimeout from 100 to 500 and still get the error.

In the Account Settings | Server Settings | Test server connection I get: An error occurred connecting to mail.twc.com:993.

I've tried this with both setting up a brand new account in Thunderbird, and also via copying the 'Thunderbird' folder from %appdata%\roaming from her old machine.

Email configuration (from Spectrum).

IMAP Settings Server name: mail.twc.com Port: 993 user name: abcd@hawaii.rr.com Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password

SMTP settings Server Name: mail.twc.com Port 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal password

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this scenario?
