I am really really distraught right now. It took me two weeks to get the time and focus to write a long reply to a company's nice email to me. Stayed up till 2am to write it. Deliberately wanted to re-read it in the morning before sending. Gone. Nowhere to be found. I pressed "Save to draft" before closing my laptop. But not saved. This account actually has a "draft" folder, unlike most of my other accounts in Thunderbird, which I also cannot figure out and no one has helped me with.

why is everything going to trash in thunderer but not in Comcast.net email what do i do o i eed to reinstall it and uninstall it

can not  do restore point

Starting on 10/01/2024 Thunderbird no longer allows me to send or receive email.

When I try to read messages using Thunderbird, I get the following: Sending of password for user XX@msn.com did not succeed. Mail server outlook.office365.com responded: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

When I try to send messages using Thunderbird, I get the following: Enter your password for XX on smtp.office365.com:

I have tried redoing the password and it does not help.

This is on a WIN/10 system. I updated to the latest version of Thunderbird and it did not help.

I checked out Thunderbird on my WIN/XP and get the same results as with WIN/10.

When I use Firefox and login to https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/, I can send and receive email as before. The same is also true with my Mobile Phone.

The global search in TB is completely defective. I am now running 128.2.0esr and hoped that update might fix it. It hasn't. I just wonder, are there any older or non ESR versions I can downgrade/move to, where the search is fully functional?

I'm having an issue with some of my filters not working. I've checked the several times and they should be set up correctly, but, for some reason, they don't perform their respective actions, even when I press "Run Now".

Also: I recently changed the sorting of my e-mails to be threaded by chain. I like to have all of my most recent e-mails show up at the top, but, within each thread, the most recent e-mail shows at the bottom (see the supposedly-attached image). Is there a way to flip this?

Thank you in advance.

I installed Thunderbird and typed in my Office 365 email information to connect my account. Thunderbird found the correct IMAP settings, which I verified on Microsoft's website. It proceeds to open a browser so I can authenticate my account. After that succeeds it starts downloading all of my messages & folders. I thought everything went fine until I attempted to send a message. I get the following error:

Login to server smtp.office365.com with username me@mydomain.com has failed.

It gives me the option to enter a new password, which doesn't make sense since it's oAuth2 but I created an app password to see if that would work, and it didn't. The only other options are cancel & retry which don't help either.

I thought maybe something went wrong with the authentication process so I uninstalled thunderbird and started again with the same results. I've tried many other server settings, but nothing works, so I'm here.

Current Settings:

Server Name: smtp.office365.com User Name: me@mydomain.com Authentication Method: oAuth2 Security: STARTTLS Port: 587

I've tried: Using Port 465 / SSL/TLS Using Port 465 / STARTLS Using Port 587 / SSL/TLS Changing Auth method to Normal Password and then using app-specific password. Uninstall / Resintsall

One final thing to note: I followed the same process with my fastmail.com account, which worked flawlessly. I can send & receive fine.

I'm working in Windows 11 on my PC and can't find the menu tab to change layout of my email. The only instructions I see were posted ibn 2017. Why is this so difficult?

Hi

 I am using version 115.14.0 (64-bit) and I am using Fedora 39, up to date OS.  I have been using ThunderBird for a very long time.  I have been experiencing an issue which, unfortunately, seems to come and go.  I am experiencing this issue on 2 separate physical computers.  How can I restore the list of emails under any account when they are not visible?
 This is very troubling ...

Bonjour, J'ai effacé par erreur un dossier et ses sous-dossiers directement dans ma messagerie Orange. J'ai ensuite installé Thunderbird qui voit ces dossiers dans la poubelle mais ils restent désespérément vides des mails qu'ils contenaient. Est-il possible de les récupérer malgré tout svp ?

Can anyone tell me how to set up the THUNDERBIRD TO ALWAYS LOG-IN into its own Messenger and avoid the Yahoo's interference with his INADEQUATE Messenger format - this should not be high-science question but I have difficulties to find an information in the HELP-section - thanks, Tony H. ...!

Hi there - been using Thunderbird for donkeys (since it was Eudora!). A few weeks back I started to get messages from Microsoft that I needed to change security settings as they were no longer supported on 3rd party email handlers like Thunderbird. So I re-created the three accounts I had there and it seemed to be OK, though SMTP did not have the OAUTH2 option available ... and when I tried to use the new SMTPs they wouldn't work. So I reverted to the old settings there and it worked again.

But this morning, with the big update to Thunderbird Nebula, I can no longer send emails from the MS accounts. My Gmail one is still OK ... but whatever I try, I cannot get the MS ones to send emails - I get a failure connecting.

Login to server smtp-mail.outlook.com with username xxxxx@hotmail.com failed.

I checked on MS and the details shown there:

SMTP server name smtp-mail.outlook.com SMTP port 587 SMTP encryption STARTTLS Authentication Method OAuth2/Modern Auth

Are what I have (I did have a different SMTP Server name came up - smtp.office365.com - but that doesn't work either)

So ... where is the issue? Is this a bug in the new Thunderbird setup? Something else? I don't know where to go ...

Hi there,

I'm using Thunderbird beta (currently 131.0b6) and since the penultimate version, no mail appear in the list of mails anymore. The count of new mails is displayed but not the mails themselves. (Last mail to date: 18/09/2024 at 15:33 – more than 40 mails received since that date, all having been counted but never displayed)

What I checked:

- imap configuration - message filters - deletion of .msf files (with thbd closed) -> all old emails disappear - forced sync of trash and junk folders - displayed unread folders, including 'Show / discusions / ignored' - created empty profiles in the beta version (Debian 12 and Windows 11) => same issue - opened a ticket on Bugzilla (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1920376)

 I created an empty profile in the stable version (128.2.3esr on Win11 & Debian 12) => no problem

Thanks for any hint you could provide me with

Just wondering why when I organize/delete my emails in TB (have several accounts in there) my profile size does not go down but always up? Should I be refreshing or something like that?

I have spent 3 hours trying to figure this out. Nothing works for me.

Authentication always fails yet when I log into Outlook it always works.

I turned off using the new hub and was able to setup my email account but it told me OWL was not active (or something about OWL).

Godaddy is my provider.

What am I not doing correctly?

Microsoft outlook warned that I will no longer be able to use thunderbird after Sept 16th unless I use Oauth. I've tried changing settings to allow Oauth, but it's not listed as an option fot outgoing mail. Is this because I'm running windows 7? Is there any way around this, I want to keep win 7?

Thanks...
