Until last month, Thunderbird never had any issue connecting to GMAIL accounts to send and receive messages. Suddenly, there is a bug and Thunderbird is not sending or receiving emails from GMAIL. Is anyone else experiencing this? Also, with the current version of Thunderbird, there is no way to insure that I am receiving updates and have the most current version. I have used Thunderbird for decades and it is now very buggy, and getting more difficult to use! - Mark Robbins

Thunderbird stopped receiving emails the day before. Now when I start Thunderbird I am being redirected to pinterest to sign in with username and password...not doing it. Hoping someone can help resolve this issue before I reformat my computer. Have not had this issue in the past and have been using Thunderbird for many many years, happened all of a sudden.

I am using Thunderbird with an IMAP account. My quota for my inbox, as indicated in the lower right, is 98%. If I log in to my provider's webmail the quota stated is 2%. How do I fix this mismatch?

I have relatively few emails in my Inbox, Sent, Trash, Draft etc folders. Deleted folder has been emptied. Folders have been compacted a number of times. Thunderbird has been closed and reopened. I have checked with my provider, names.co.uk, and they confirm that my current usage is 2%. They pin the blame on Thunderbird.

I have searched online and whilst this does appear to be a fairly common problem, I have not found a solution.

I have tried moving all but the few latest emails to Local Folder, going through the usual deletion, empty deleted, compact folders, restart etc. and can only lower the percentage a small amount in Thunderbird, and it soon rises again to 98%. And it's very inconvenient not to have recent emails still in my Inbox.

Can anybody help with a solution, please?

Hello,

Im struggling with adding second email account in the freshly downloaded Thunderbird on new PC. I tested on multiple PCs and the errors keeps repeating. It says the login information are incorrect but I know for sure they are correct. Exchange auth error it says. After multiple login tries the app just freezes and stop responding.

The first email account added is working fine. Thunderbird version 144.0.1. Windows 11

Hi; I've signed up for the vpn, several times, but nothing appears. I don't see any box on the top right of any bar. I don't even know the symbol, but have checked all that are there. How do I turn it on? I found something about "privacy windows" but that just leads back to the signup page. I know it'll be simple, but I'm missing it totally.

I have been using Thunderbird for a number of years now and found it very good , but at the moment I have a problem, As an example when I clic on an e bay account to open and send feedback it won't open just shows an oblong when square boxes corners and centre.

My email server is over a broadband connection. I need help with setting up the account. Both incoming and outgoing addresses are "https:/mail.cis-broadband.com". I have been unable to connect to the server.

Thunderbird not fetching mail. Message: "could not connect to server mail.bigpond.com. Thenonnection was refused. Note: Webmail working.

I recently lost my connection to my ISP and have re-established my connection, but Thunderbird can receive mail but cannot send it. I can send from the ISP mailbox. For some reason Thunderbird will not connect to my ISP’s outgoing mail server. Any ideas will be appreciated.

I was using MS outlook and recently I could not connect. Apparently ATT made a change so that instead of a password you need a Secure email Key. Since I needed to make a change I thought I'd try Thunderbird mail, but I still need the KEY. After a number of efforts with the ATT AI and human support people I could not find where the Key is entered on ATT. Now I know this forum is about Thunderbird and not ATT, but there must be Thunderbird users that have ATT and have made a seccussful connection. There are a few ATT help pages that outline how to do this, but each time I look at my ATT profile I can not find where to enter the Secure Mail Key. Is there anyone that can help me with this? THanks Mike

With setting up TB with all the correct settings automaticly, including a correct password,I cannot connect to the gmail server with the usual error of "incorrect settings or password" and 'checking' endlessly.

Mozilla Firefox. I had to upgrade on my Wi-Fi box to connect to my TV and it says that my browser is not communicating with the Wi-Fi box and I needed to communicate in order to activate the TV. The box is fine if someone could please tell me how or show me how to enable the browser in Mozilla Firefox so I can do this I would really appreciate it. It's been 3 days and I've been trying to get this to work but it's not working and it's also a 50-in Roku TV but roku's website is out and I can't get an activation code from them so I don't know what to do. But I would like for this problem to be solved

Since updating to v144.0.1 (distributed via Google Play) on OnePlus 5 with stock Android 10 (OxygenOS 10.0.1) Firefox initially performs as expected, but after a few days displays the 'connection has timed out' message when trying to access any URL (after a delay of around 45 seconds).

Issue occurs regardless of device connection to WiFi / cellular, other apps on the device have no issues with connectivity in both cases. PCAPDroid captures show DNS requests to the Android system resolver 10.215.173.2 with responses as expected, but no HTTP/HTTPS connections.

The issue persists across force stop, device restart, and clearing but is resolved by uninstalling and reinstalling until it recurs a few hours later. Issue also observed with beta build 145.0b7, but not yet seen using either Fennec 144.0.0 (Build #1440020) GV: 144.0-20251022155017 or with Nightly 146.0a1 (Build #2016122871), 6488d90a06c0b99c9f7000b8c0763c4f44253912, GV: 146.0a1-20251028041839

Currently whenever I try to pay for something via PayPal on mobile Firefox, it opens an about:blank page and never redirects. I am able to pay using PayPal just find when accessing via a PC. Unsure if there’s anything going wrong my end or if this is an issue Firefox mobile currently has. Having this issue on IOS on version 144.1

I literally cannot access any website at all. It was working just fine and dandy and suddenly, boom. It just stops working. I dunno if this is something that has been a problem for anyone else, but I do not want to switch back to chrome as it eats up my memory like a starving cow.

Any help would be wonderful.
