Hallo,

ich benutze Thunderbird 154.0 unter Windows 11 Pro, aktuelle Updates. Seit geraumer Zeit bekam ich die Meldung, dass Ordner Posteingang nicht komprimiert werden kann, weil er ungültige Daten enthält. Das habe ich heute abgeklemmt, indem ich die automatische Komprimierung abgeschaltet habe. Danach war eigentlich alles gut und ich hätte besser nichts mehr machen sollen. Aber dann entdeckte ich den Button "Ordner reparieren". Nachdem ich den geklickt habe, werden mir im Posteingang keine Mails mehr angezeigt, Anzahl = 0, Größe auf Datenträger jedoch 2,3 GB. Die Daten scheinen noch vorhanden zu sein, nur die Anzeige scheitert. Im Papierkorb sind die vermissten Mails auch nicht zu finden. Alle anderen Ordner sind inhaltlich ok. Ich habe eine 5 Tage alte Sicherung, die ich auf einem anderen Windows-11-Rechner mit frischer Thunderbird-Installation eingespielt habe. Leider zeigt sich dort nun das identische Problem. Hat jemand eine Idee?

Viele Grüße Peter

Hello. I have been unable to send email from one of several POP accounts on Thunderbird (v 115.18.0). I believe this occurred after Network Solutions changed the SMTP server for that email account. I am able to send email from my Gmail IMAP account setup on the same Thunderbird program on my PC. I have tried all the port and authentication settings for SLS/TLS and STARTTLS, changed/updated passwords, etc. I do not get any error messages, just never receive the test email I send to my other accounts. I updated the SMTP server on my iPhone mail app to the new NetSol SMTP and it works on that platform. I just cannot get it to work on Thunderbird on my PC. NetSol support said to delete account and start over which is not possible as it is my business email account. Also, the inbox is too large to back-up to an external drive. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. John

I upgraded my 2012 macbook pro to the latest version of thunderbird and I can not get my emails. I am running os10.15.8 Every time I try to get messages a yahoo page opens up and wants me to sign into my yahoo account. I can't get rid of the yahoo page it just keeps reopening again and again. Everything was working fine until I upgraded thunderbird to 153.0.3esr. My other mac that has not been upgraded can still get my emails.

Is it possible to go back to the prior versions of thunderbird or make this new version work with my mac?

I have been using the INBOX that is under my email address. This worked for years except one time before when the same thing happened where the messages are from years ago. I have to go further down to use ALLMAIL to get the current messages. The INBOX shows "3" while the ALLMAIL shows 5,626.

So, the INPUT is not current as before but old messages. How do I fix this?

Thanks,

Eddie

I recently migrated to Linux and was able to reinstall my Thunderbird account. However in the previous MS windows version I was able 'choose 'the font as well as other basics for each account signature. In the version I now have it is purely a default font. I tried the forum solution which was to create a message in html then copy it in- didn't work. i don't want to have to add a file everytime when it wasn't necessary before? I want a different signature for 5 different purpose accounts. Why can't I do this in this version of Thunderbird? I also no longer see what font I am in. I just created a dummy email and chose a font. I doubt that will be in place for my next message ie it doesn't offer a default option as outlook would

Maybe I have not found where to set it, otherwise it is a .change request.

When creating a new message and entering a name in the “To” field, all email addresses for the recipient are displayed for selection. - Order as in the address book - The one marked as “Default” is neither the first nor identifiable as such. The order in the address book cannot be changed either. Thank you --- [German] Als Standard markierte Adresse wird nicht als Erstes angezeigt. Neue Nachricht, Eingabe des Namens in „An“, es alle Email Adressen für den Empfänger zur Auswahl angezeigt. - Reihenfolge wie im Adressbuch - die mit Standard gekennzeichnet ist weder die Erste noch als solche identifizierbar. Reihenfolge im Adressbuch auch nicht veränderbar. Vielen Dank

Sans aucune raison ni manipulation je n'ai plus de mails dans Thunderbird

J'ai quitté l'application, redémarré mon MacBook et rien n'y change. Quand je vais sur le webmail j'ai bien la totalité de mes mails. Par contre j'avais un dossier local et du coup je n'y ai plus accès non plus

I started a monthly donation to Thunderbird a few hours ago and now I'm thinking it may have been a scam. Not sure, and I have sent an email to your donation email about this. Since I made that donation (and maybe this is a coincidence), I am not able to send any emails. I can compose an email, but there is no "send" button anymore. Can you help me with this? Thank you very much.

I have 4 seperate email addresses in Thunderbird. Only one of them has this problem and I would like to resolve it. When I send an email, the copy goes into "All Files" and not into the "Sent" email; folder. Which setting do I need to change to put it right please?

Starting today, Thunderbird freezes during the "loading messages" process. I get a Windows hourglass and Windows tells me Thunderbird is "not responding."

Task Manager shows TB running but not taking up very many CPU cycles.

I suspect a damaged database, but what do I know?

Each of the tabs above is an email/message that was open the last time I ran TB.

I have no control over TB as it 'spins.'

I cannot find my TB version because TB is frozen. But it is fairly recent.

I need help.

I've done EVERYTHING.

New install of latest version. edited profile to point to saved data on USB external drive DELETED every instance of lock files terminated task numerous times. rebooted 3 times...

What now???

The method I formally used (Ctrl+) to increase text font size is no long working nor is Ctrl with mouse scrolling, nor is any other options I've found in settings. The font size on header and side bars is increasing but not the text of emails.

If you are using the release level of 153, and prefer not to see the Thundermail menu entry, do these two things:

Add this statement to the userControl.css file: /* ##### Stop display of Thundermail menu item. */ @media not -moz-pref("mail.accounthub.thundermail.enabled") {

 #tbpro-menu-id-root { 
   display: none; 
 } 

}

Set this entry in Config Editor to FALSE: mail.accounthub.thundermail.enabled

Hi, this seems to be a strange issue. I have a hotmail.com and outlook.com account as well as gmail. The hotmail one was in general use/default. It recently stopped authenticating over my main PC Thunderbird installation. The PC is a new build and was listed as a "known device" in the MS account settings. I tried removing it and it seems to not matter. But it all worked fine for awhile up until Meadows. It has authenticated a handful of times since then, particularly if I'm logged into the MSN account via the web, but not always.

I've tried changing to POP instead of IMAP and that removes the authentication error pop up message but it still won't update the folders/doesn't work. There's just no error message, so I changed the server settings back to IMAP.

It's all the same settings as worked previously including on this very computer. The same settings work with the outlook.com email, including on Thunderbird on this PC. But that wasn't in daily use or as default. The one that's no longer authenticating however was.

I've tried switching to a new profile and it doesn't work. Tried reinstalling Thunderbird and deleting old profiles to fully recreate, doesn't help.

Outgoing on this same failed account does work, only incoming will not Authenticate or update.

I have a laptop with a Win 11 and Thunderbird setup similar to as on the PC, works fine on the laptop with the same settings. In creating the accounts the "test server settings" feature returns no errors as well.

I can't tell where the actual source of failure is beyond that as the error message isn't very detailed or informative and based on the overall behaviour where it works flawlessly on the laptop, worked with those very settings previously on the now failing install, still works very rarely as well, up to and including on this same PC via Outlook program or over the web, with all the same settings. So it seems specific to Thunderbird, post Meadows update, on this PC, with only that email.

To further clarify, I have a second outlook.com based email, which still works with Thunderbird on this PC where the hotmail based account fails authentication. I also have tested the failing email via the Outlook program on this PC, including over the web by logging in with Firefox, that all works, just like it works with the laptop.

What I haven't tried to do when reinstalling Thunderbird is scrape every hint of prior installs out of it, but I did delete all of the profiles folders and content. I also just tried creating a new profile and making it the default. None of that helped.

Thanks

メールソフトをアウトルックからサンダーバードへ移行したく、サンダーバードのアプリはダウンロードしましたが、 サインインに失敗なのか？認証できなく困っています。受信サーバーはIMAPですが、サンダーバード ではPOP3とでてきたので、手動でIMAPにかえてもみましたが、とにかく認証しないのです。 どうしたらよいか教えていただきたいです。
