I was using Thunderbird and it suddenly decided to not connect to the imap server. Connection timed out. This happened while I was using Thunderbird. Server name : imap.name.net.au Port 143 User name: current email address Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal password. I have tried reducing the number of connection, changing port number. I then started my backup computer which has not been used for a couple of months and same thing happened, imap connection timed out. My backup computer is a clone of my present computer. I have reset the router. I have ifconfig/flushdns I cannot get emails on my normal email address. If you email me use pps.nbbr@gmail.com.

Greetings,

New incoming message alerts show up in the Win-10’s notification area, as usual, & as expected. But clicking on the message notification clears the message from the notification area instead of opening the message in Thunderbird (as it used to), ever since updating to v115.0.1 (64-bit).

Thanks, Greg

I have posted up to yesterday requests for help with Thunderbird to both mail.gmail.com and to Thunderbird. Part was solved by gmail but they said that for slowness to contact Thunderbird. I got a notice things were solved and this morning both the pop.gmail.com (downloading posts with Thunderbird) and the smtp.gmail.com (sending posts with Thunderbird) were fast as usual - few seconds. I sent about 35 posts and only the first took two second. This evening the sending posts from my Thunder bird (of the desktop computers - 10 posts during an hour) take about two minutes. Sending from the smartphone take a second.

I cant send emails. Every time a pop up pops up with an error message that says "this account is locked out because of abusive behavior" and I get it on all my emails! Please help. I receive just fine but when I reply this error pops up. It has never happened before. So any help will be appreciated. :)

My account was set up maybe 10 years ago, which I presume was before authenticators and password managers were used in the app. With a recent PC switch I have forgotten the password. I've looked everywhere for an easier way to contact you through e-mail, chat or through calls but posting a thread and hoping you see my post looks to be the only way to reach your support. I can of course describe my inbox, saved messages, etc. I know my father went through the same process and actually went about calling you to get his thunderbird account fixed but this was a few years ago, so if anyone knows of a better way of contacting them other than this post I would appreciate the help.

A long time ago my Gmail account was set up to route through my Plusnet email account so that all emails arrived together on Thunderbird. I have now set up for the Gmail emails to arrive directly in Thunderbird which means that any Gmail email is received twice. How do I disconnect the Gmails being routed through the Plusmail account without stopping the Plusnet emails arriving directly from them.

Hi Forum Folke,

I have three different email accounts that I use in Tbird. I had assumed that each account had a separate Address Book, but now that I'm migrating from one ISP to another (fiberoptic!), in preparing for the changeover, I realize that I seem to have only ONE address book that spans all three email accounts.

First: is this correct? Only one Address Book for any number of email accounts? And my main question: is there any way I can filter the Address Book by email account? I'm losing one account that came with my old ISP; those are the emails I want to create an email list for so I can do one mass-mailing to everyone using that email address to let them know what the new address is, and that this account will be disappearing.

I suppose I could just email everyone and put wording in there that 'IF you use such and such an account, it's going away and you need to use this address instead... but I have a number of vendor/business accounts, and they aren't going to care about that - - it's on ME to go to the account and change my email address. I'm frankly not sure which ones use the going-away account, and which don't; I was counting on Tbird to show me which was which... but it doesn't. Not as it stands at the moment, anyway.

Any ideas are very much appreciated; I'd rather avoid a mess because of this transfer!

I have Thunderbird 68.12.1 on two PCs and when I open Thundberbird on each, it repeatedly asks me for passwords for all 6 of my IMAP email accounts, even though the passwords are correct. None of the email accounts will log in, so I cant send or receive emails on either of my PC's. It just started doing this this morning, and is happening on both PCs. I have been using the same version Thunderbird to access these accounts for many years without a problem before today.

The error message I am getting is: "Login to server imap.dotster.com with username xxxx@xxxx.com failed" with 3 options "Retry" "Enter New Password" or "Cancel"

I can access the same IMAP email accounts using the same passwords using Aquamail on my Galaxy Phone without a problem. So I know the issue is with Thunderbird logging into the email server, and not the passwords or email server.

Help would be greatly appreciated as I use my PCs to send receive emails more than my phone.

Hello,

I have a task where I need to send similar important mails to 50+ comapnies. The mail will ask for important information from these companies. Therefore It cannot look like a mass mail. These companies all have been in contact with us before and we are in process of buying something from them. This is not an attemt to spam or scam anyone.

How can I manage sendeing 50 or more similar mails to an excel list of mail adresses? (maybe even with a text adressing a certain person) How can i prevent ending up in the spam folder? I also do not want to send it as BC to everyone.

Is there a built in feature like this? Or is there a way to add emails from an excel sheet to the adress book and then send to everyone in the adress book?

Regards

For the release version of TB 115.0

The quickfilter is broken is a particular manner:

   some characters can be entered in the quickfilter-box.
   other characters (i.e. 'r', 'o'  the reply-shortcut key?) fail to be inserted/loses focus, and instead the reply- or open-message-action is initiated for the selected message.

I have not tested this extensively, but the issue shows up on my Win10 32-bit system

When you start typing a name or email address TB throws up a list of options matching the letters you have typed. For example, I start typing nancy and I get all the nancy's in my address book. See jpg. The nancy I usually want is listed 2nd, Garcia. I almost never write to Wojcik, but she is first and it does not make sense. By any alpha or numeric order I can think of using her name or address, she should follow Garcia. What determines the order in which they are presented and can I change that order?

I do realize that if I think to start typing the last name in the address box than I will get a list in which Nancy Garcia comes up first. But I have everything ordered by first name and usually am thinking of that.

This is not a big issue, but just wondering.

Thank you.

I've just upgraded Thunderbird to 115.0.1 from (I think) 102. Now it fails to connect to any mail servers, either IMAP or SMTP: when trying to access mail or send it, Thunderbird just hangs and does nothing. I use Office 365. I tried deleting one of the accounts and recreating it, but it hangs at the point at which it says it's checking password. Does anyone know how I can get Thunderbird working?

I tried to move my emails from the Webmail 7.0 app, but all that came were my inbox emails. How do I get my "sent" emails—and emails in other folders—to Thunderbird?
