I have followed all instructions I can find through many searches online but cannot get my outlook email to configure in Thunderbird. First, I have no option to chose OAuth2 even though I have deleted any outlook passwords, email accounts, and Thunderbird is up to date. I have received so many error messages I cant keep track. Bottom line, all my other email accounts configure find except for outlook. Any help would be appreciated Steven Pecoraro

Hi. I have a problem since few months ago about the following fact: when i want to move emails from inbox to a specific folder, i am using "recent destination" option, but the folders doesn't appears anymore in alphabetic order. I have attached a screen shot with "recent destination" list of folders and currently they are not listed in alphabetic order anymore. Can you help me to fix this issue?

Thank you!

Sg Support team! vor ein paar tagen hat TB plötzlich nach Passwort (PW) gefragt, bei jedem login. Ich wollte das vermeiden. nach Eingabe PW habe ich "automischer Verwaltung" zugestimmt. Dann war inbox leer. Ähnliches ist ein paar Tage davor passiert. Inbox hat sich auf einmal wieder gefüllt? Sind meine emails noch vorhanden? Sind sie verborgen, wenn ja, wo? Ich möchte die emails wieder recovern? Wenn ja, wie? Es ist kein Filter gesetzt. Repair folder hat nicht geholfen.

ich bitte um Unterstützung freundliche Grüße Ulrike Radosch

Hi, What is the "@?" for Thunderbird? For gmail it's @gmail.com for hotmail it's "@hotmail.com. Eventually I want to rid myself of gmail. Thanks

Hello,

I downloaded all my emails from my .com mailbox into Mozilla Thunderbird. I could see all of them for about three days, and I was very happy to have them stored locally, as I am planning to move my mailbox elsewhere.

However, today all folders appear empty in Thunderbird and I can no longer see the emails, even though I can see that the files are still stored on my computer.

I have been trying for hours to solve this problem with the help of AI, but without success.

Could you please help me restore or display the emails that were downloaded locally?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards, Michaela

This has been happening for a long long time - probably a few years' worth of versions. I have just put up with it... currently running Tbird 147 and it just happened.

When editing an email (either the body or the Subject), if you use the backspace button (the one that deletes to the left) to delete some text sometimes the cursor will incorrectly be positioned about 5 or 6 characters further left than it should.

For example, if I had the text: "Quick brown fox jumps over the moon"

If I were to highlight "fox" in the above example, and hit backspace, I would expect the cursor to end up positioned between the remaining spaces after 'brown' ( pipe symbol here is meant to represent the cursor position): "brown | jumps"

But instead what happens is that the cursor ends up somewhere among/before the word "brown". It's always further left than it should be, by 5 or 6 characters.

I believe it only happens when highlighting multiple characters and then hitting backspace. It may be more (only?) prevalent when editing/replying to an existing email. (But I'm still only editing the new portions that I add at the top of the email; I'm almost never editing in amongst the original quoted email content.)

I also haven't ever been able to figure out how to make it happen, sorry. It is just random...It will happen once in an email, but then not again. But it happens frequently - 3-6 times a day perhaps. (Depends on how many emails I am editing.  :) )

I don't believe that I have noticed this issue if I were using the Delete button (deletes things to the right). I don't think it happens when backspacing one character at a time...but it might. I also use Option-Backspace to delete whole words at a time (instead of highlighting the word); not exactly sure if it happens only if highlighting a word, or only if Option-Backspace, or single key press... sorry, it is so random and unexpected that I don't have more specifics.

I know TB used to have a command to search for duplicate messages. Now, after installing the program again, I cannot find this command anymore. Why? Is it me or has it been removed? Thanks.

After deleting a large number of historical emails, including emptying the Deleted items folder, and emptying the Archive folder, Thunderbird restores a large number - but not all - previously deleted emails. Oddly the emails that are restored to the inbox are only ones from 2022. I have gone through and deleted them multiple times but they keep coming back. Any suggestions? Thanks, Simon.

For the last month I have been unable to send outgoing messages from my Thunderbird program. Initially I also stopped receiving messages, but a local commputer technician helped resolve that. I can now receive messages but, if I try to send an email I still get this message: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: p-impout003.msg-pkvw.co.charter.net cmsmtp 68.235.43.158 blocked. Please see https:// www.spectrum.net/support/internet/understanding-email-error-codes for more information. AUP#Out-1120." I have tried to resolve this through Spectrum and was told I would have to go to Thunderbird Support.

I am trying to reinstall email accounts that I have previously used but cancelled but when I try I am told there is an authentication error. What am I doing wrong.?

Hello,

A couple of days ago when I opened Thunderbird all of my emails in my Inbox before 18.10. where suddenly gone. All other files in my folders and trash are still there as far as I can tell.

First I thought they were moved but I can't find them anymore, they just vanished.

The inbox file in my profile folder is now 2MB in size, I have a backup from 2 years ago where it was 2,3GB so it must have been even bigger than that.

I believe there was a thunderbird update but it was so fast that I did not even notice at first.

I'm on windows 10 and thunderbird 144.0.1

I'm pretty sure my mails are gone, I was just wondering if anyone is in a similar situation and what could have caused this.

Thanks for any clues.

I have just followed the TB instructions to move to a new Win11 PC, All seemed ok after, new emails come in ok but I am missing my address book and archive files. Any ideas please. Ron

Hello, I have tried to send several email replies using thunder bird but they fail because the smtp server times out. Or cannot be reached. I am a new Starlink subscriber and am wondering if that could have anything to do with the issues. The software is on my dell computer running windows 10. Any help or suggestion is appreciated.

I'm trying to add my email accounts to Thunderbird, I manage to get everything set up okay (using "outlook.office365.com" as the SMTP server rather than the auto-selected "mail-smtp@outlook.com" that is autofilled), but when I try to add it and the popup window for Oauth2 opens up, I enter my email and password for my hotmail and outlook accounts, I get an error saying:

You can't sign in here with a personal account. Use your work or school account instead.

What's going on? I never had trouble setting up Oauth2 with my personal accounts before, until I switched to a Windows 11 computer (was using Windows 10 before).

What am I doing wrong? Or is this some kind of messup with Microsoft. I set up my Gmail account (with Oauth2) without any trouble?

I can't find any solutions to this online. Please help. I'm desperate to get access to my email on my new computer.
