Thunderbird Community Forum

I have two Tbird accounts pmcreativeservices@rcn.com has been mine for 20 years, and it's what I use for bills, banking, etc. The other account is PatriciaRosemoor@rcn.com and is only used to collect messages that come from my author website. Yesterday, I got a message from someone who tried but couldn't put a book up at Amazon and asked if there was something I could do about it. My trying to send her a message via the PatriciaRosemoor account is what started requests for my Primary Password. One a minute after I cancelled the last one. I tried the two passwords I knew I had, but neither worked. I got a request for a new password so I did that and it didn't work either. I kept going back to it all day yesterday uselessly. I found directions of what to do online, but it didn't match up with my Settings information. Please, if you can tell me how to fix this, I would be grateful. Or, if I can keep the thousands of emails I probably have, I could try deleting the account and recreating the account. The problem would be how to bring all my saved emails back. Thank you for your help. Patricia

“My Spectrum email address is [redacted]@charter.net. Spectrum webmail can send and Thunderbird can't receive or send. The outgoing server is mobile.charter.net and the connection times out. I tested the connection from my computer and ports 587 and 465 both respond successfully. Thunderbird is set to No Proxy. when i tried to send today, it gave me this message, "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) mobile.charter.net timed out. Try again." i contacted spectrum about this and now when i try to send, it says nothing and the message never arrives.

After the latest update of thunderbird on 19-aug-26 I found that I could send emails but not receive them. After researching the problem I changed my server setting for imap to match what spectrum recommends, confirmed I did it correctly by spectrum. Test imap connection fails, but gives no information as to why. Tried 3 dirrent imap server: 1. imap.charter.ner 2. mobile.charter.net 3. mail.twc.com I confirmed with spectrum that I'm using the correct port number.

Is it possible to rill back thunderbird to the last release? Thanks for any and all help. I've used both google and duck duck go AI to look for answers.

After latest update Thunderbird cant send or receive emails. My settings are correct mail.charter.net port 993 outgoing mail.charter.net port 587.

Tells me I have a server error and is constantly asking for my password. HELP!!! I have been with Thunderbird since the beginning and have sent money to the cause, and now I need your help.

Thanks, Pam

Since upgrading my MacBook Pro to Tahoe 26.6.2, I notice that Thunderbird continually crashes when I open it. I've tried closing Thunderbird after each check of email, and I think that helps (at least a little).

I want to sync calendars across Thunderbird and iPhone. (Linux Mint 22 Wilma, Thunderbird 140.14.1 esr)

I am trying to use the Apple calendar server to sync with. Using the Create New Calendar dialog box in Thunderbird, then applying the Apple-assigned password, Thunderbird returns "Could not find calendars at this location. Please check your settings."

I would appreciate help with this.

A few days ago I sent emails and did not see the usual "Saving to Sent (IMAP)". Instead it said something like saving to Sent folder. That's fine, but the emails didn't appear in my Thunderbird Sent folders. I downloaded Thunderbird to see if my version was obsolete. Still no emails in Sent folder. The internet said I could delete my Sent folder, and Thunderbird would re-establish Sent folder. It did not. I can still see my old emails in my Local Thunderbird sent mail, so I deleted about 100 old emails in case the folder was too full. Still, the new emails I was sending did not appear. I checked with a few recipient people and they told me the email go to them. I have tried all the "solutions" I can find. What else can I do to see copies of my outgoing emails.?

I'd be v grateful for help as this problem's in an email needed for me to sue for libel.

I drafted an email containing >50 screenshots, but not as attachments. Current download speed 257Mb/s.

Looking at it just now, it's saved with many instances saying "may be an image of text that says" followed by a description. Or as attached.

I thought that if I sent it to myself it may display correctly, but it doesn't. There's no notification bar.

I have the following settings: • View > Display Attachments Inline: checked. • Privacy settings > Allow remote content in messages: checked (no exceptions).

Mozilla Thunderbird stopped responding, tried to shut down, restart, uninstall and install - nothing helps Still opens the window, but no messages white backgoround and (Not Responding)

This started happening a day or so ago... When I type part of an email address, Tbird shows all email addresses starting with it. Now the length is as long as the screen.. Any ideas? Thanks.

Each day, I read less than 10% of incoming emails. About 90% of the remainder are from the same senders. I manually delete these emails as they arrive.

NOTE: These emails are not "spam" or "junk". They are from well-known, respected companies or people, but I know from experience that they don't interest me. If I manually create a text file of such redundant email addresses, is it possible to write a macro which will delete each incoming email whose address is in the list of redundant addresses ?

If that's possible, I would be grateful if someone could show me how to implement that.

Thanks .

When I launched Tbird this morning, I got a message, "account.google.com needs you to confirm access again to help syncing with your account. Username: [redacted]@gmail.com" When I click OK, it says Tbird wants access to be able to access and edit/download/delete my contacts and calendars, which access I'm not willing to grant. So when I click Cancel, it says Sign-in couldn't be completed, and now I'm unable to send email. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? In dire straits----- Dave

Bonjour, après des modifications avec Orange messagerie, je n'arrive plus à me connecter à mes comptes Thunderbird marguerite.ortega@orange.fr et maguy.ortega@orange.fr les mots de passe ne sont plus reconnus, j'ai dû supprimer et réinstaller Thunderbird, mais le problème continue. Comment faire, pour retrouver ma messagerie Thunderbird. Merci et bien cordialement.

all INBOX emails disappeared from one of my email accounts. The other is working fine. Emails that were still open in one of the tabs are also now just an empty tab. --no luck repairing folder or deleting INBOX.msf. If I go to the Charter/Spectrum website the emails are still showing What should I try next?

Thunderbird not connecting to server. It says timds out and an error occurred connecting to mobile.charter.net. I can neither send or receive emails. This started 8/20/2026
