Thunderbird only shows home screen on startup. Clicking on Inbox do not shows the emails in the folder. It is still receiving emails into the folder. Other others seems ok.
It is strange because I have been using Thunderbird for many years, and none of this has happened before.

I set the mail to be seen in descending order, but when I reopen my mail goes back to ascending. Want it to stay descending.

I'm on a Mac ProBook, vintage 2009. My operating system is OS X Yosemite 10.10.5. I use Microsoft Entourage 2008 for my emails. Can I migrate my emails, which are in and out of folders, from Entourage to Thunderbird?

Our existing ISP is getting out of the non-commercial market, but will maintain the pop server for six months.
I have changed to centurylink as my ISP, and they have established two email addresses for us. We use two different machines. The email through the existing server has worked well, and continues to work on both machines.
Creating a new email account on both machines works fine, and it actually auto-configs.
Both accounts on the old XP laptop are fine. New mail comes in on both accounts, I can see each on the side panel, etc.
On the W8 machine, the new account is created, the old account remains, new mail can be sent and received, but if I close Tbird, the next time I open it, it "forgets" the new account. Only the original email account remains. I can go through the setup routine again, and it works fine as long as Tbird remains open, but closing it seems to kill the account.
Thunderbird keeps switching windows without me wanting it to (on Windows 10). Firefox does the same.

I have my inboxes window open, and click on Reply to a mail. A second window opens, and I start typing. At any point focus switches back to the inboxes window, causing havoc if any of the letters I am typing have effects (like deleting messages !).
This must surely be a bug - is there any way around it ?
The exact same issue happens with Firefox, though it is less irritating and dangerous. I believe that this is a Mozilla issue - the same thing does NOT happen using Chrome.

My current mail service provider may be going out of business, which means I would have to get a new provider/email address. Since I already have a Thunderbird account, can I edit the current settings to show the new server and address? If not, and I create a gmail account, is it possible to merge it into my existing Thunderbird account? Thanks!

Since Yahoo suddenly won't allow my wife's Tbird to continue to run, although it handles my account from the same computer very well, I am trying to shift to using a gmail account with Tbird. I can't load the gmail account name onto Tbird 38 or 45 because they are preset to autoconfigure with Yahoo. How can I run gmail with Tbird?
Really want to stay with Tbird.

Two days ago, I changed my the password on my email account. When I attempt to update the password in Thunderbird, I get an error message:
Sending of password for user name@hotmail.co.uk did not succeed. Mail server pop-mail.outlook.com responded: Authentication failure: unknown user name or bad password. [Error="AuthFailed:LogonDenied-LiveServerUnreachable-<X-forwarded-for.95.90.208.96> < XmlAuth-Consumer-457 ms-Oms-Oms-ppservere -puide > LiveldXmlAuth log on failure 'e3' <tarpit suggested>< UserType:OutlookCom> Log on failed 'name@hotmail.co.uk'.,User. name@hotmail.co.uk" AuthResult=2 Proxy=AM3PR08MB0021.eurprd08.prod.outlook.com:1995:SSLJ
Can anyone help explain this? The password is correct. I had two step authentication activated, but have since turned it off. Pop3 is enabled, and the server settings are correct.
I also tried every possible variable, I just don't know how to fix it.

Thunderbird Junk Mail Filters Do Not Work Consistently . Some accounts move Junk to the Junk Folder; Other Accounts Remain in Inbox

I have two accounts with identical junk mail settings, and one account moves junk to the Junk folder, while the junk mail from the other account remains in the inbox. I have checked the settings on both accounts, and they seem to be set the same on both accounts, unless there's a hidden setting I'm not seeing. I've checked both the Junk Mail settings under accounts as well as the Options under Tools (why is "Options" in the "Tools" menu not visible when the menu bar is hidden, by the way?). Everything appears to be identical.
So why is one account moving messages to Junk, and one account refuses to unless I manually go and ask it to? I WANT THIS ACTION TO BE AUTOMATED FOR BOTH ACCOUNTS, and I can't seem to make that happen.
All of a sudden the email is filtering out emails that i want? and i set up a junk folder so i thought maybe it would go there however i am not.

Thank you very sincerely!! I am a complete incompetent using computers!! I returned from a trip and had shut down my LENOVO using Windows 10. Upon my return, when I started my computer, I could barely see the top of the icons at he bottom and when I clicked on email, the left side of the writing was off the screen, I can't seem to learn how to reduce the image size so everything will fit and be legible.

When typing a message in Thunderbird the mouse pointer will disappear and can only be brought back with a computer restart. Pressing the Control Key I can see where it last was, but it won't reappear or move. It doesn't happen to all emails I send but regularly enough (several times a day) to be a pain.
The mouse pointer works normally in all other programs.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

I recently re-upped my telephone service plan with AT&T. Since that time my Thunderbird email is not working. This email account is connected to my webpage that is hosted by AT&T. It seems ironic that my email stopped working around the same time that AT&T did some changes to my account. They have been no help. I have exhausted every repair tip you offer and nothing is working. I am sure I have missed dozens of emails in the past month and hate to think of how my small business has suffered. When trying to retrieve messages on Thunderbird all I get is the loading circle of doom and then a message pops up that I have timed out. I have tried re-loading Thunderbird. I had AT&T undo the changes that were made to my web account. Nothing is helping. Can you tell me what I need to do?

I have this problem. I have not been able to D/L nor send emails from my "me.com" accounts for the last 4 days that I know of. The server is NOT the problem as I can D/L them on my ipad. I am running win7 home fully updated. As suggested in another post about the same problem I cleared the "Error Console"then restarted Thunderbird. It made no difference. I have copied the "error console" & posted the results below. My google gmail account is not affected & working fine.

New Dell Laptop; Windows10, Thunderbird 45.3.0 Kaspersky Internet Protection 2016
Almost regularly after activating the machine, Thunderbird slows right down making every action painful (particularly typing). The Win Task Manager shows that the programme is using between 30 and 40% of the CPU so, as well as practically stopping Thunderbird operations, it slows everything else.
I've cleared the junk and deleted mails, reduced the other folders and compacted mail regularly without any result. The programme does not appear to be doing anything or responding to incoming mail - it just grinds away.
After about five or more minutes it reduces its demands on the CPU, usage falls back to less than 5% and everything works normally, until the next time, later in the day.
Can anyone help please?
