How can I see my emails , they haven’t come through since 13/08/2024 and I really need it. It’s a recovery email address that I need desperately. Other thunderbird accounts are ok.

It still sends emails fine

Today all my yahoo & aol accounts were locked (About 10) . I had to release all 10 of them before Thunderbird can receive emails on accounts that are not locked (other than hotmail , gmail etc). I am reasonably sure this is not a yahoo / aol issue (though I know they are owned by same company Verizon Media )

Because I have seen this problem in the past with other email domains . If hotmail or gmail is locked then I cannot receive any yahoo emails until I release all locks on hotmail or gmail etc accounts

I read somewhere it may be auth issue such as OAuth2 but all my my settings are correct to OAuth2

I recently (unwisely) refreshed my Windows 10. I had to relaod Thunderbird, but when I tried to reinstal my previous profile, I couldn't do so. I've tried using profile manager. but it only seems to recognise two of the six or so profiles that exist in my profile folder. This means I can't access several years' worth of emails - I need to access these for invoice and work purposes. What is really frustrating is that I can see the profile I need in the profile folder, and all the emails seem to in the Mail/popmail/Inbox folder (all with a much smaller MSF. file of the same name). I've tried importing the profile into Thunderbird, but that doesn't work, it just imports the mailbox with no subfolders. A responder called David has already kindly provided advice (many thanks, David), but unfortunately the solutions haven't worked. Can anybody help?

After updating to 153.0.1esr(aarch64). the SEND button has disappeared. There's no way to send an email. (I can receive emails.) I am a Mac mini M2 Pro. OS 26.4.1

I cannot find a link to download a previous release of Thuderbird, which was working fine until this update.

Thunderbird ver 115.18.0, on a Win7 machine, upgrading not an option

When opening Thunderbird I get a sign-in message, inserting my email address and clicking the next button I get the google error message.

In the last month or 2, when I delete an email it does not show in the trash folder. I can wait from 5 minutes to even the next time I reboot my puter to finally see it it trash. Sometimes it sends it to the all mail or important folder instead of trash. And if I delete from there, it still takes tons of time to end up in the trash folder...if it even gets there. This seems to be getting worse by the day. I have clicked repair folder, no change, I have cleared Thunderbird's cache, no change. It's also now taking way too much time to load an email that contains a picture. This happens with at least 3 of these gmails. I'm at a loss here and extremely frustrated and about to change these gmails from imap to pop. win10 and TB is up to date. But it doesn't compact folders as much as it used to either. Any help appreciated

I'm currently making a custom theme for Thunderbird for my own personal use. I've gotten pretty much everything how I want it to look – except the main content. I prefer light mode for accessibility, and currently it's stuck in dark mode everywhere (my settings menu, calendar, mailbox, etc).

The first image is how it currently looks, and the second is how I want it to look (the black boxes are there to block sensitive info). What would I need to add/edit in my manifest.json and/or style.css to get there?

154.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11

My filters are broken in Thunderbird. I have deleted and recreated some to no avail.

I moved some folders from Local to under my inbox and it said it would update the filters automatically, but noticed it didn't do this. Looking at the Filter Rules it just left either the first or second column of Perform these actions under the Filter Rules empty rather than updating them. I tried moving the folders back to see if the filters would then work, but it's a mixed bag. Some filter properly and others only go under say Newsletters, but don't filter into Newsletters > Adobe for example. Others just sit in the inbox. I've tried moving some rules to the top of the list hoping that'd give them priority to be run first, but it hasn't helped. I have a lot of filters setup to help me track newsletters, classes, meetings, job applications, etc. I've missed some responses for a couple of days because of this. Any suggestions?

So I don't miss anyone, thanks in advance.

All of a sudden I have to open the program twice for it to run. First time the screen opens but it is just blank and says it is not responding. So I close it and then open it again and it is fine. Anyone know why this is happening?

I'm not sure what to categorize this as, but here goes...

I came in this morning and noticed that my Thunderbird screens are pixelated. The pixelation changes a bit as I move my mouse over the menus and comes/goes when looking in screens like the Filter Rules. The Filter Rules screen is much more heavily affected. I just ran the update to 154.0 and it is still like this. I am viewing it on a laptop screen, not my large external monitor. Firefox is displaying just fine as are other programs I am running.

This is the message I get when I try to send a message. Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <budguinn@charter.net> sender rejected. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

I have included a screen shot of my server settings.

With the new meadow update when either replying to a message or selecting new message there is no command menu bar to send save as draft etc.... tried several of the commands an setting changes but nothing seems to work - can do cntrl+enter to send and that s about it....

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

When I attempt to write/ reply/ reply all/ forward, the toolbar at top shows only the slanted pen symbol and "Write -- nothing below. So no "Send" button. The full toolbar that I am trying to recover is attached which I copied from a second computer. When I write click that "Write" bar at the top, noting in the drop down menu had any effect. Help/About says I am "up to date" running 153.1.0esr (64 bit)

I successfully linked / synced the thunderbird calendar with the iCloud calendar. Calendar entries manually entered in iCloud or iPhone calendar are successfully synced and are visible in the thunderbird mail. The other way round, syncing the existing entries in the Thunderbird calendar does not work. They do not appear in the iCloud or iPhone calendar. Searching the internet, the specific Thunderbird or Apple help-sites did not provide an obvious solution for this problem. I went through all (or nearly all) recommendations given by Apple, no success to sync from Thunderbird to iCloud.

Any suggestion what to modify or adjust

Windows 11 Sending, but not receiving e-mails in two OAuth addresses (one university account, one personalised domain gmail) Can't find 'Incoming Server Settings' to check if they are correct Have selected "manual configuration flow" and restarted Thunderbird

Hi, I just installed Thunderbird on a new computer and was super happy about how easy the setup has become for multiple e-mail addresses - however, I have two addresses where I can send, but not recieve e-mails. One is a university e-mail and one a personalised domain gmail - I used both without trouble in Thunderbird on my previous computer. They are both OAuth and the Outgoing Server Settings are correct, but I cannot find where to adjust Incoming Server settings. I've selected "manual configuration flow" and restarted Thunderbird, but still can't see anything new. Where do I find Incoming Server settings now? Thank you for your help,

Lena

I am trying to run Thunderbird on my laptop. I currently have it on my PC and my Phone. I just installed Thunderbird on my laptop and zipped my profile (60GB). I tried to open the zip file to make sure it was good. I could not open it, so i did not transfer it. I was looking for an easy way to get all my email accounts and passwords onto my Laptop. I would appreciate any help. Thanks! Kelly
