Thanx for initial reply to my help request ...

My problem with Thunderbird downloading my Yahoo.com e-mails continue.

I've changed Yahoo.com passwords in the past with no problems. Thunderbird seems to have changed & become more complicated. I can't find the app password Generator for Thunderbird, but I'm able to see my Yahoo Password & the Oauth2 security protocol etc

So how in the heck can I get Thunderbird to work properly? And download my my messages into TB as it has done for years.

I'm using Thunderbird 102.15.1 on kubuntu. With previous versions I could set up an automatic filter to move emails to defined folders depending on various criteria. How do I do this with this version? Thanks Hugh Grant

Recently, my SENT file has not been keeping the email I send. Has anyone else had this problem? Can anyone suggest how or why this has started happening?

I count on being able to look and see that I have sent or replied.

Thanks for any help, Jerry

I recently installed Thunderbird on a new Windows 11 PC. I am using Thunderbird 128.11.0esr on another machine and it works properly. I attempted to clone my 128 setup onto the new machiine by copying the Profile folder without success. Some settings were transferred, enough so that the inbox was filling with my emails. I tried to send a message. It failed with the message: "Sending of the message failed The message could not be send because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com times out. Try again" As far as I can tell the SMPT server settings are exactly the same on the two setups: Description: Gmail Port: 587 Connection security: STARTTLS Authentication methon: OAuth2 Username TMerrillH Sending GMail using the GMail app works properly. Could it be something in the OAuth2 system?

Group contacts have been established and the group is listed in the Address page. An email is prepared and the group name is inserted in the bcc slot. An x appears to the left of the group name. The Send button is grayed out and the email can't be sent. What is the problem?

I am trying to send an email to a recipient of a previously SENT email keeping the originally SENT email with it. In now defunct Windows Live Mail emailing software, I use to click on "Reply All" and remove my sending name from the 'send to' address. Is there a similar function in Thunderbird?

Hello, Mi 9 SE with MIUI 12.5.1 Android 11 RKQ1.200826.002 Thunderbird 10.0

I moved from K9 to Thunderbird some time ago without incident. In the last few days I realised I had received nothing and checked on my PC and indeed mails were waiting. I tried to send a test mail from the phone, the mail remained in the OUTBOX and I received the following error message :- "Failed to send some messages ErrnoException: connect failed: EACCES (permission denied)" I checked and this is an Android error and various articles I found that suggest necessary changes to the manifest which I am not capable to change; I am not a coder. I decided to save the configuration, delete and reinstall Thunderbird. After this and reapplying the passwords the waiting mails were delivered. I then tried to send a test message from the phone and again the same error was generated with the phone blocked again from sending or receiving.

I suspect that there was an upgrade applied with a changed manifest that broke the operation of Thunderbird with Android 11.

Can someone please verify this, it may be impacting many installations on older phones?

Many thanks!

I have setup Thunderbird to check for e-mail each 30 minutes. But I never get any notifications of any new mails :-( And mails are only downloaded when I start the app and swipe down. Folders are setup to sync (but "push" is not enabled). Power settings are set to "Optimized" (works for all other apps that check for things).
