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

When I upgraded from MacOS Ventura to MacOS Sonoma, Thunderbird stopped working. Getting it to work the first time required me to use Apple's 2 Step Verification process to create an app-specific password. After the MacOS upgrade, that process was no longer available. Apple switched to 2 Factor Authentication, which is apparently different and incompatible with 2sv. The other websites and applications on my iMac have already switched to 2fa, and I'm not sure I can have both methods active on the same computer (but I've asked, Apple, anyway).

Is there a recent change in Thunderbird that would allow me to use 2fa instead of 2sv to access Thunderbird?

I have many years worth of emails in Thunderbird that I can no longer access. I can see the directory structure, and some of the email lists, but not the content.

Thanks for the help!

I'm getting the above message on only one of the accounts in my set-up but it's the main account (listed as a "special account") and extremely important.

It's a very large folder but, like others I have cleared space but it still persists and I CAN move e-mails to it so writing to the folder doesn't appear to be a problem - it's just downloading which is the problem. It logs into the server, tells me how many e-mails are available, occasionally says it's downloading a couple but doesn't download them and then puts up that message.

Please help, I use it for 2-part verification etc. and it's causing me serious problems.

How can I turn off the threading of my emails? Its driving me crazy as when an email comes in after a short time it disappears into the threads and then I have to open each thread to find out who sent the email. At one stage there were 6 emails noted near the inbox but no new unthreaded message, all went to respective threads. Very time wasting.

Hi there,

I accidentally changed my view to card view (at least I think it was me...) by clicking on a button on the quicksearch bar. Working quickly (to quick...) I don't know what happened, but the button was not there anymore and I cannot change back to table view anymore.

I really need table view! I manage hundreds of emails and need to be able to sort them quickly by clicking column headers.

I get this message from Thunderbird on my desktop computer on app start up: ]Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to live.thunderbird.net. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

This started suddenly about a week ago.

I have Thunderbird on laptop that works fine.

How can fix this?

"Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

I have plenty of drive space. I did compression of the inbox. I moved a large amount of old emails to Archives, but it still gives the error.

Windows 10 version. 32-bit Thunderbird though. Not sure how to fix this guys.

Thanks for any help. I suspect the latest version has a bug...

Hello. I need help getting Thunderbird to stop marking and sorting certain emails as threads. Seems to be completely spontaneous and for no apparent reason, even in the inbox. I have never actively marked emails as threads. I've tried to remove the "threads" function in the folder settings, but it doesn't seem to have helped in some cases. I also need help with getting the email "unstuck" from the thread structure, I have tried "Ignore threads" and "Ignore subthreads" with the result that the email disappeared. The documents I have seen have not been of any help. Reply preferably to my usual e-mail address, have a bit of ours with mail in the G-mail account.

  Please Bosse

Sorry for posting this here but no response in TB forum. After I installed the latest up grade TB 115 I have lost all the old emails in my inbox, sent, and trash as well as the ability to use TB as I can't sign in. I get the following prompt when trying to use my account. "Sending of password for user ****@att.net did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later", and then a prompt to "Enter your password" which does not work, although the pass word shows up in"passwords". The TB account works fine in the Yahoo web account, but I don't keep anything there on a daily basis. The web TB account lets me send and receive mail normally. I haven't changed my configuration ,password or uninstalled TB. My G mail works normally. My android cell also won't let me sign in and asks for credentials per password which is unrecognized.

Suddenly I cannot send emails. I can receive emails. I have checked my account settings and they are correct as follows: Charter Communications mail.twc.com port 587 Starttls normal password ggordets@san.rr.com. I contacted Spectrum and we proved that the problem is not them by initiating an outgoing email to myself using webmail. I even tried uninstalling and re-installing Thunderbird. As indicated above my email is ggordets@san.rr.com

Thank you. P.S. My operating system is Windows 10.

I just had the newest version of Thunderbird intalled. I've spent an hour trying to figure this out and I don't have time for this crap. There used to be a menu items for Tags that would drop down and you could select a tag or remove a tag. This doesn't seem to be in the new version of Thunderbird. Granted, there is a way to do what I want to do, but it is a pain in the ass! Can I get the "Tags" menu item back?????

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
