Subject: Account Settings -> Server Settings Occurrence: after update to 52.1.0 (32 bit)

My default setting was unchecked 'Automatically download new messages' and checked 'Fetch headers only'. After automatic update to 52.1.0 I could no longer download full emails from my email server by clicking on 'Download the rest of the message' hyperlink. However option 'Get selected messages' works and is active (available) from the start. I know this bug (inactive 'Get selected messages' after opening of Thunderbird) was on the Mozilla's back burner since ancient times :).

Setting opposite to default: checked 'Automatically download new messages' and unchecked 'Fetch headers only' loads emails without the problem but is potentially unsafe.

My contact is on Hotmail. I can receive an e-mail from them. When I replay, it is returned to me with the following: This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: [email removed]@hotmail.com SMTP error from remote mail server after MAIL FROM:<[email removed]@earthlink.net> SIZE=3240: host mx4.hotmail.com [104.44.194.236]: 550 SC-002 (SNT004-MC10F22) Unfortunately, messages from 209.86.89.69 weren't sent.

Problems since Thunderbird updated (automatically?) to beta version (63.0). Unable to send from one of my two companies' accounts, despite having been in ongoing communication with their tech support (STARTMAIL) that my settings are correct. They were correct. But now "Account Settings" are not visible (just a tiny non-functional window) unless I got to Help > Troubleshooting Information where they are merely viewable (see below).

Finally, I uninstalled Thunderbird via control panel on my Windows OS. Then I downloaded (from Mozilla website) Thunderbird version 60.2.1.

It opened with the same issues--unable to send via one account; unable to view under "account settings" the details for any of my accounts. Verified with my optimization software (System Mechanic) that 60.2.1 was the only visibly remaining Thunderbird artifact. Did hard shutdown of computer. No change upon re-starting computer.

I had expected that uninstalling and downloading the prior version of Thunderbird would mean that I would have to go through registering in Thunderbird my various email accounts. I thought that I could do this cleanly (all w. IMAP) & more efficiently (no duplicates or leftovers--seven accts on 1 server; one acct on other server). However, Thunderbird opened already populated exactly as I had it (even open tabs) prior to uninstalling.

The only tweaking I have done this week since Thunderbird updated to beta version were: re-set my Master Password... attempt to change the accounts on one server (my ISP's) from POP3 to IMAP (which doesn't appear to have stuck as IMAP, despite speaking to their tech support), but those accounts appear to be working... deleting and re-instating 3x my email accounts with the other server (which is IMAP) due to the problem of not being able to send email's (I have been in ongoing contact with their tech support)--each time applying the new password provided by my server.

BTW, earlier in this process I contacted my antivirus tech support. And I've tried sending with my antivirusware shut off, but login to the server still failed.

Help, please!

delivery format auto-detect does not auto-change to HTML when an image/picture is pasted into email body

problem was present in an early version of TB (sry don't remember which) then was fixed but has reoccurred on 38.4.0 (dunno if it begun at this version, just realized 38.4.0 has this issue again)

if delivery format option set to HTLM then it works (pasted image is sent)

When I send a message, I want it to go to SENT folder on IMAP server and stay there, so that I can have a copy of that same message sync'ed to my cell phone.

But I also want "A Copy" in my local folders. That way, when my server deletes all messages that are X days old (part of normal server maintenance), I will still have the original message saved locally on my computer.

Problem is: 1. when I configure Copies and Folders and "uncheck" the "when sending a message place a copy in" setting, it doesnt save the message anywhere. 2. when I configure it with "check" the "when sending a message place a copy in" setting, with the folder name on the IMAP server, it stores it only there 3. when I configure it with check" the "when sending a message place a copy in" setting, with the local folder nameit stores it only there

I would have thought that when sending a message, it would would always be placed in the IMAP server "sent" folder by default (since i am... ummmm... "sending" the message)... and then when I check the "when sending a message place a copy in" setting, it will save a COPY (ie: a 2nd instance of the message) to whatever other folder I select.

But it doesnt do that.

So how do I configure TB to do that... put a copy of the sent message in the IMAP server "Sent Items" folder, and a COPY of that same message, elsewhere?

thanks!

The System Integration box just started appearing when I start Thunderbird. I've unchecked the box for Always perform this check when starting Thunderbird. I've uninstalled Thunderbird and reinstalled it. The checkbox in Options > General for checking for default email client is also unchecked. I do not have any other email client installed. Does anyone know how to stop it? Thanks.

Hello,

After upgrading my Thunderbird install to version 60.2.1 on my Xubuntu 18.04 machine, I cannot access my mail anymore, because there seems to be a problem with passwords.

Symptoms:

- When starting Thunderbird, I get an "Enter your password" box for each of my accounts even though I had my passwords saved.

- When I go to Preferences -> Security -> Passwords -> Saved Passwords, the list is empty.

- When I try to enter a password and save it, it does not actually get saved and Thunderbird will ask again soon after.

- The following line is logged to console a whole bunch of times:

JavaScript error: jar:file:///usr/lib/thunderbird/omni.ja!/components/crypto-SDR.js, line 179: NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Couldn't decrypt string

Other findings:

- Downgrading Thunderbird to 52.7.0 fixes the problem. The old saved passwords just reappear again and Thunderbird has no problem logging in.

- Starting Thunderbird 60.2.1 on a Windows 10 box with exactly the same profile folder works fine. It can read the passwords and access my mail accounts.

Can you please tell me what to do to fix this, so I don't need to keep using an old version of Thunderbird just to access my mail?

Thanks,

Hello, I followed the instructions to "Switch from POP to IMAP account" but I have a some concerns about the result. After activation of the new account, only "Inbox" and "Trash" folders were created on the client. Then I followed the instructions to Subscribe all the missing folders and first time I subscribed all of them. Then I noticed that there were two "Trash" folders, but only one of them was synchronized with the server. So I unsubscribed the Trash folder that was not synchronized. Is it correct? What is this second Trash Folder? Looking at the folder structure that has just been created for the new IMAP account on the client , I noticed that all the special folders (Sent, Draft, Spam, Trash) are contained in the Inbox folder, whilst for the old POP3 account (and two additional POP3 accounts) they were at the same level of Inbox. Is this the normal expected behavior for an IMAP account? I attached a picture with the folder structures. Thank you in advance.

At every attempt of sending mail via one of my microsoft acounts I receive the following error message

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp-mail.outlook.com is unknown. The server may be incorrectly configured. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

I can verify that smtp setting are those outlook suggests. I tried to change the port from 587 to 465 and 25 with no success.

System information OS: Debian jessie kernel version: #1 SMP Debian 3.16.43-2+deb8u5 (2017-09-19) Thunderbird version : 52.3.0 (64-bit)

I receive the same error via windows 8.1 I think with the same version of thunderbird (I will confirm it and repost). So maybe is outlook's or thunderbird's problem unrelated to OS

Ok, last week I migrated my Verizon Email to the new AOL/Verizon email set up. All went smoothly. I was sending and receiving no problem. All of a sudden, I am not sending or receiving. I can get mail from the AOL.Mail site, but can not get from Thunderbird. I have a G.mail Acct using Thunderbird and it works fine. Any idea why the new Verizon/Aol might be stumbling over Thunderbird? When I try to get mail it just hangs, when i try to send i instantly get this message...Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.verizon.net was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again.

Firefox on new laptop windows 11. (AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS with Radeon Graphics)

Firefox on new laptop windows 11. (AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS with Radeon Graphics)

Have noticed only when i use Firefox i get intermittent flickering on the screen. It does not effect browsing, though it has frozen on a couple of occasions. I don't know if that is connected or just something else.

I have tried two trouble shoot 'fixes' i found whilst looking for a solution and neither have worked.

1 - turning off recommended performance settings and hardware acceleration. 1b - turning hardware acceleration back on.

2 - checking in troubleshoot mode to see if it's an extension. Flickering happened in troubleshoot mode too.

I have FF 50.1.0,and for some time,I have had problems making payments using Paypal. Everything goes fine until I click to submit payment on the Paypal site,and the page freezes. This just happened today when I tried to make a donation to a local charity. I then made the donation in my Aviator browser with no issues. This has been an ongoing issue with FF for several versions.

New install. Windoz. Connect to existing IMAP email account. Several messages have incorrect date and time in the "Date" column. That column shows today's date and time very close to the time I first connected to the accounts. Message header shows coeect date. Why is Thunderbird misinterpreting the date in some cases?

After upgrading from Fedora 21 to Fedora 29, I cannot update my Thunderbird address book. I have tried disabling add-ons and deleting the abook.mab file, but I still cannot add a new entry using the pop-up GUI even to an empty address book. I can add a new entry by right-clicking an existing email address, and I can delete entries, but the "OK" button in the GUI does not work. Other users on my system do not have the same problem so something appears to be corrupted in my account. When I use the developer_toolbox then I open the address book I get these:

RangeError: invalid language tag: en-US-u-va-posix-u-ca-gregory-nu-latn mozIntl.js:78:31 RangeError: invalid language tag: en-US-u-va-posix-u-ca-gregory mozIntl.js:78:31

When I click "OK" in the GUI I get these:

TypeError: aDatepicker.yearField is undefined[Learn More] abCard.js:826:3 TypeError: birthdayElem.monthField is undefined[Learn More] abCard.js:575:7

Thanks. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

When I reply an incoming message other than unicode (eg in ISO-8859-7) in my editor the characters are correct but the recipient gets wrong characters (something like that: οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½οΏ½). The encoding of the message is by default the same as the incoming (ISO-8859-7) The only work around I found is to change the encoding to unicode before sending it. Is there a more permanent solution to that problem? I read the related articles in support forum and tried changed some settings with no success. Maybe I missing something...

Thank you in advance!!

Help?

This is a problem on my father's computer. I'm a computer tech, he is not. On MY computer, I haven't had this problem with Thunderbird 60, even though I also use Gmail (as well as other e-mail providers).

Immediately after Thunderbird updated itself to version 60, it would crash within 1-2 seconds of Thunderbird starting.

Troubleshooting: - Rebooted computer several times. - Starting Thunderbird in Safe Mode.

Still crashes.

I created a new Thunderbird Profile and set up his Gmail address using OAuth2. Successfully receiving e-mails with no crashes.

I exported his address books and calendars from the old profile, and imported into the new profile. Copied the Local Folders files manually from the old profile to the new. Got all the Thunderbird settings the way he likes. No crashes.

An hour later, Thunderbird starts crashing again. Now it only crashes when a new e-mail comes in.

Troubleshooting: - Rebooted computer. - Starting Thunderbird in Safe Mode. - Disabled filters.

Still crashing.

Submitted Thunderbird Crash Report with details and my father's e-mail address, which I will not put here in this public forum.

Windows 10, 64 bit (lots of memory and lots of hard drive space) Thunderbird 60.3.0 E-mail provider: Gmail

Yesterday Thunderbird wouldn't open on my laptop. I rebooted the computer and still couldn't get it to open. I started to get a crash report window when I tried. I used MozBackup to save my emails today. So, should I uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird? If so, could you let me know how to do that? Also, do you think the backup I made today is corrupted? I backed up a couple of weeks ago so I won't be missing too much if I have to restore the earlier backup. Thanks for your help! -Jeffer

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

Since a few weeks ago, Thunderbird freezes every now and then after sending emails. I tried restarting Thunderbird in Safe Mode with no success. I removed Thunderbird from my computer, moved my profile folder elsewhere, reinstalled Thunderbird from scratch (thus getting a fresh new profile folder) and I get the same problem.

Some people report that changing the signature file to html solves the problem, but I do not even have a signature file on my fresh new Thunderbird install.

I have 3 accounts (2 Google, 1 imaps). I use my own "Local Folder". That's all that is different from a fresh new install.

A new problem since July 1, 2024 Thunderbird keeps crashing on start-up when checking for new mail. HELP!! Crash ID: bp-e8be7291-7fe9-41c0-bd21-45d860240702
