Thunderbird Support Forum

Hi.,

 Cox cable just discontinued their email server and moved all it's email accounts to Yahoo.

I had been using Thunderbird successfully with Cox for several months before this happened.

 I am able to send and receive emails now via my new online Yahoo server;  however I have not

been able to connect / use Thunderbird to send and receive emails since the Yahoo changeover. I have tried many things, but I either get a "failed" error message or a "timed out" error message. Yahoo support has not been able to figure this one out. They are hard to get a hold of and hard to understand (communicate with). They are overseas from the US.

 I appreciate any help you can offer.

Kind regards, Ken

Dear Team,

Our MD laptop thunderbird configure for mail solution. 25.3.2024 auto update run 115 to 125 version. after 125 version in thunderbird mail view option are changed. in version 115 that mail view option i working. how to uninstall latest update 125 or how rollback older version 115.

Some time ago, two of the folders in my Inbox have had their icons changed to the same icon used for Drafts. I cannot figure out how to get their icons back to the typical Folder icon and these two folders cannot be moved in the list of folders to rearrange their order. Please help.

When I open message filters and click on "Filter Log" , I just get the small window shown below, no log even though logging is enabled. Running Tbird 115.9

Thanks for any tips on getting this resolved. KR

I have turned anti-virus off, checked account settings and checked provider's access limit. I can receive emails in webmail, but not Thunderbird. I don't get any error message in Thunderbird, emails just won't come through.

Suddenly I can not receive my emails on Thunderbird. They do show up on my cell phone. When I send an email, I get the following, "Your message was sent, but a copy was not placed in your Sent folder due to network or file access errors. What can I do?? Ed PS I will get your email response on my cell phone, thank you.

Hello,

This is my very first post to a support community so please excuse me for any rookie mistakes and oversights.

T.B. 115.8.0 (64-bit) Windows 10 - IMAP settings with multiple domains and multiple accounts on each.

Problem/Issue: Most searches return the expected results, but in certain cases, and seems to affect mostly the sub directories in Local Folder (have not been able to replicate problems in strings found elsewhere).

Things I have already done: - Rebooted PC - Compacted the folder where the email resides - Repaired such folder - Confirmed that Global search is clicked for such folder - Opened the email to confirm that it does open and is valid (Remember that it's in Local folders so already downloaded)

E.g. Global search string "Re: New Project 25-301-623 needed into Swahili - word count 321" (which does exists in Local Folders) does not produce any results but (Deleted first character of the string) "e: New Project 25-301-623 needed into Swahili - word count 321" produced results for "New Project 25-301-623 needed into Swahili - word count 321" without the results for "Re:...". Additionally, no filters are displayed such as Location, People, etc. (Running the same search within the folder where it resides works fine.) Cutting down the string to only "Re: New Project 25-301-623" still does not find any results. Global search for string "Payable Summary for: August 2022", which resides in the same folder tested is found but no filter data available for Location, People, etc. However a search for "Project delivery for Job: 25-258-813" again residing in the same folder is found with Location, Account and People. I've tested same approach and tests on different folders to rule out Folder specific problems and behavior is the same problem.

Another example that might help in figuring things out. I tested a string of an email subject from an amazon order, which are long in nature do to # dashes, long numbers, etc. Performed a global search and the email was found but no Filters shown. Did the same search removing the end of the string "has shipped" and the email was found once again but with all Filters showing.

I hope I have been thorough enough. If any additional information is needed please let me know.

Thanks to all.

I'm using Thunderbird 115.8.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10 with IMAP, a gmail account, all folders are set to sync offline.

Two days ago someone sent me a message with a couple of attachments, I read it, it was downloaded ok.

Today, working offline, I try to read the same message and I get "The Body of this message has not been downloaded for offline use".

Searching for this problem online is insanely frustrating as there appears to be an infinite number of explanations online telling me how to get the message body downloaded. It WAS downloaded, I was looking at it two days ago! This has been a common problem in Thunderbird for me for several years now. Messages are downloaded, read, I go offline, they are still there ok, then a few days later they mysteriously say "The Body of this message has not been downloaded for offline use".

Fragments of the message bodies appear in search results, even at the same time as trying to read the messages gives me "The Body of this message has not been downloaded for offline use." It's in there somewhere, I can even find the entire message body by searching the data files in the profile folder, but Thunderbird THINKS it's not downloaded.

I need to work offline a lot, and any help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

With the moving of Cox emails to Yahoo would it be feasible for Thunderbird to put an instruction list(with screenshots) of how to get all our TB email accounts from Cox to TB? Do we have to delete all our TB email accounts and re-enter them into TB under the new Yahoo or can we just change the server settings on the existing Cox settings? If just changing server settings what are the settings for the new yahoo? All my accounts are IMAP so if instructions could be made, maybe one for IMAP and one for POP for those who use either. Thank you

I have two email accounts on Thunderbird. One, the gmail account still works perfectly, but the other, a cox.net, has started today to not move and messages to trash or junk as set by the settings. This problem is across all my devices, PC, ipad and Iphone.

I'm very confused. I've been using Thunderbird as my email server for a few years. Recently, I stopped receiving emails December 12, 2023. I sent in a problem according to the help page that I found. I believe Mozilla is now the server for Thunderbird? I don't even know if that is accurate (part of my confusion). I followed prompts and confirmed my email address, apparently I now have a user name. I still can't send or receive emails. Can you help. I need step-by-step instructions, please.

Enabling my incoming emails. This has been failing for weeks. I reset my account with thunderbird and made a donation (thinking that was the problem) but I am still not receiving incoming emails. Tried and checked all my account settings - cannot find what the problem is. Please help.

Hello. I was searching my Inbox for e-mails I knew I had, but they weren't showing up! After doing a general search, I found the e-mails in the search results. Then, I clicked "open in conversation" and they were all there and labeled with "Inbox" or "Sent" folder, respectively. So I right-clicked and selected, "open in containing folder", but it didn't work! The "containing folder" opened [i.e., the Inbox], but didn't show the e-mail! So then I searched manually by scrolling in the Inbox to the date of the "hidden" e-mail -- yet it wasn't there!

(In other words, when I did "open in conversation" from the search results, it showed the conversation, but I can't actually see the e-mails in their containing folder!) Besides for this problem, but I think there are a lot of other e-mails that are "hiding" in this way as well. What should I do?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Sincerely, Jonathan Rosenberg
