I'll be staying with a friend whose ISP is Spectrum. Spectrum claims they have no idea what settings I need to change in Thunderbird in order to go through them to get to my ISP's mail servers. I'm assuming that there ARE settings that have to be changed because a few years ago, when staying with different friends in NY, I had to call their ISP (Verizon) to find out what needed to be changed in Outlook Express' settings. I no longer recall which ones.

I really need AUTOCORRECT for mail on Thunderbird (38.3 on a Mac)

My goal is to get an autocorrect to work in my emails (which are in both French and GB English) so that my 'deja' becomes 'dejà' and my 'cna' becomes 'can'.

I have searched and searched and can find nothing which offers me this possibility and without it, I'll have to give up on Thunderbird and go elsewhere - it is REALLY that important for me... so any/all help would be grateful received :-)

For info, yes I have installed British English 'Language pack' and '.. Dictionary, Forked by Pinto' (which is, seemingly, the only one that works with v38.3) as well as the French versions; so yes, I get my red underlines and my spelling suggestions, however I need them to autocorrect as happens in Word or Outlook.

Please and thanks in advance to anyone who can help ! :)

When I try to send I get the following error message:

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: 5.3.4 554 5.2.0 STOREDRV.Submission.Exception:SendAsDeniedException.MapiExceptionSendAsDenied; Failed to process message due to a permanent exception with message Cannot submit message. 16.55847:69000000, 17.43559:0000000060010000000000000200000000000000, 20.521. Please check the message and try again.

I've tried numerous times. No problem receiving e-mails.

I assumed that the program had become corrupted and so tried to uninstall it through the Control Panel. However it wouldn't uninstall. So I opened Thunderbird in Program Files(x86) Uninstall folder but did not find an uninstall.exe file, only a helper.exe file.

My version is 52.2.1 running under Windows 10

I think that this problem arose only with the most recent update to Thunderbird, which I installed yesterday or today (April 22). When I hit the Enter key Thunderbird automatically doublespaces, which is fine for text as it separates paragraphs. However, I also will sometimes type my name, address, and telephone number at the end of the message, using Enter for each to line, and I cannot find a way to make Thunderbird singlespace at that time. Word processors usually have a "line" option that allows for this (at least WordPerfect, which is still the best word processor, does). I'd much rather have Enter do only a single space; I can always hit it twice to double space between paragraphs (I've been doing that since I first used an electric rather than manual typewriter).

ics meeting invitations do not appear as attachments

I am using TB 31.7.0 on a MacBook Pro running the latest version of Yosemite. I use BusyCal as my calendar software (although I think that is not relevant to the problem I am experiencing).

When people send me an email with an ICS meeting invitation attached, the attachment does not arrive. I get the email but there is no attachment. So I always have to send a reply and ask them to manually type the meeting details into an email, and then send it to me. It appears that this problem occurs when meeting invitations are generated with Outlook. (That's a guess on my part.)

I've read through the forums to try to find a solution to this problem, and I haven't been able to find it.

Any suggestions?

As of Sunday, Thunderbird can no longer reach my ATT server to download email. It has behaved for ten to fifteen years. Last time someone at ATT fixed it. I have been on the phone or on screen with ATT most of my waking hours since Sunday. (In the process I lost my internet, my landline, my cell connection, etc.) Everything is restored except the connection between Thunderbird and ATT. Everyone thinks changing my password will do it. Done it four times. It gets me into the ATT mail. I have replaced the password in Thunderbird settings with it to no avail. Is there anything you can think of? Not only is Thunderbird more attractive than ATT, I have thirty years of mail boxes there, a continuation from Eudora. I will appreciate your wisdom.

I have a personal email account on yandex.com. It's setup within thunderbird, along with other accounts I run.

The past few days I have not been able to send emails due to failure connecting to the smptp server.

Now as it tries to connect I noticed (see attached print screen) that while I send an email from my yandex account, thunderbird is showing that it's attempting to connect to a gmx.com server (which is a different email account I have).

I have checked settings and configuration and servers are as they should be, so why on earth is this happening?

Any help to resolve this issue would be welcome as I am unable to use my email accounts in thunderbird.

I have Thunderbird Version 45.8.0 where after composing a message when I click Send, the message disappears nicely from the screen and the message is off.

However on the latest version 52.1.1 (32-bit) when I do the same action, Click to Send.. the message stays on the screen for a while and I have to wait for it to disappear before I can do something else.

Is this a case of different versions or is there a tweak in the new version that I can set up in order for the Send function to behave the same way as the older version?

It is getting quite annoying sitting and looking at the screen for the message to disappear after clicking Send.

Thank you for your help.

I email quotes from Peachtree Accounting using Thunderbird as the email client.

All was working fine until this morning. When sending a quote with an email address in the contact record in Peachtree, Thunderbird would open the default email profile with the customized signature content from the profile and the email would be addressed properly. I could customize the body of the email and send it.

If there was no email in the contact record in Peachtree, the same thing would happen except I would have to type the email address, customize the email and press send.

Now when I email from Peachtree, I get a popup that says "Another application is attempting to send mail using your user profile. Are you sure you want to send mail?" When I press OK the popup closes but Thunderbird does not open a write window for editing, nor is the email sent.

Any idea what changed?
