Hi all,

I have tried on K9, and Thunderbird Mobile.

On my tablet, with K9 mail, I exported my fully working accounts, and imported to my phone. All worked, except one account, where it only has an outbox. No inbox, no sent folder, nothing.

I then Installed Thunderbird mobile, and used the QR code link in the desktop app, to sync to it. Same issue. All other accounts work fine, but not that one account. Only an outbox.

I've logged into the web version of that account, and no restrictions are on folders. And it's only on my phone. On tablet it's fine.

I can't even choose folders in settings, for sent, etc, as there are none to choose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Did ask forum for help on 12/9/2025, and though there was some info on line to solve my problem, I was unable to understand it, or proposed solutions did not work.Tried now to log into mozilla account, but cannot find any section about any replies. As problem driving me crazy, will try again.

1 When emails come in, instead of the sender being shown in the from box, it gves me at pethen.riseup.net as the sender. 2 If i click on any link in the text of the email which I need to access, this function does not work. All that appears is the link text I click on gets surrounded by a text edit box (ie a thin square line with small boxes you can put an arrow on to change shape of box for editing 3 a yellow banner appears at the base of any email reading " a unique identity matching the from address was not found. + "the messagewill be sent using the current from field and settings from identity peter hendry<pethen@riseup.net> 4 My other emailaddress linked to my mozilla thunderbird client has no problems. This has to be such a simple problem relating to the account set up which for some reason my PC has taken into itself to change, either text in my address books do not match, or I have ticked a wrong bos in the setup, or not ticked one at all,

Please can any help this struggling man! Peter

Hi,


Thunderbird: 142.0 (64-bit)


With Account Hub

When I try to add a mail account that I deleted before, I receive an error message:

  • Error Creating Account
  • Incoming server already exists.

When I add my email account, I receive the message, "Can't find a server," and Thunderbird adds the incoming server configuration somewhere. It's not in the "Account Settings" menu.


Without Account Hub

I deleted my profile folder and started from scratch.

I tried to use the same configuration settings I have in the mobile version of Thunderbird, but without success. Unfortunately, it's not possible to import the settings from Thunderbird Mobile.

I have the same problem with the Account Hub, or without it. How can I fix this problem?

Many thanks,
