Thunderbird 140.7.0esr allows me to e-mail my OpenPGP public key to myself, but it doesn't seem to have any way for me to get access to my private key. I was wondering how to export keys? Thanks!

I had Mozilla which I accidentally deleted a couple of years ago. Spectrum serviced my email, dmarsh38@roadrunner.com, since then but now has abruptly cut that off. I'm wondering if Thunderbird will resume servicing this email, and how do I make that happen, how do I access it, etc.? I'm trying to avoid having to change my email address of 30 years.

Messages that I have moved to Archive have totally vanished. A message which I needed to keep I found in 'deleted'. I then moved it to Archive - and it vanished altogether. I do not feel in control of this new Thunderbird! Please, is there any way of getting this message back?

Continuation of my prior post: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1516342

Thunderbird has a routine problem with being unable to log into various mail servers. I have four accounts and they all seem to share this problem.

Most recent update: I've tested this in Windows Safe Mode, and the problem has not appeared. Since I can't do any useful work in Safe Mode, it's hard to give it a thorough test, but so far so good. Also, I have removed AVG antivirus because it was redundant. I have seen no improvement since it was removed.

Can this problem be resolved?

I'm trying to install Thunderbird on a Macbook - macOS Tahoe 26.2 I've made a donation but Thunderbird won't download.

I did not get any error messages, in fact nothing happened.

Dear Thunderbird team, I am using Thunderbird and Mozilla more than 25 years. It has never happened that after downloading a new version of Thunderbird my address book had disappeared. I will be most grateful if you assist me to restore it the *previous glory*.

Thank you kindly. With much gratitude, Michael.

I have removed an iCloud account from Thunderbird but it keeps asking for the password, I have tried removing all references to the account that I can find including the calendar. Any ideas? Thanks

Sending message failed

Failed to send message.

The message could not be sent because the connection to the SMTP server smtp.golf-south-africa.com has exceeded its expiration timeout. Try again.

PLEASE urgently help me. Thank you

Recently I have noticed some changes in the way my Thunderbird downloads POP3 messages. Previously, it would be common to ask for new messages once a day and receive upwards of one hundred of them. But in the last month, this number has been limited to about 35 at a time. If I ask immediately again, I get about 35 more, and this pattern continues as long as there are messages in queue waiting to be downloaded. I am not sure if this is due to changes in gmail, where most of my received messages originate, or to changes in Thunderbird itself, or to some sort of third-party hack. Now that I have trained myself to keep on asking until there are no more messages coming down, this change does not cause me much difficulty, although initially it sometimes caused me to overlook messages because I failed to keep asking as long as I should have. Apart from that, it does not seem to be harmful as far as I can tell. I'd just like to know if other people have noticed anything similar, and if anyone knows what is causing it, and whether it has some hidden advantages over the way things used to work.

Hello! The other day everything worked as usual, and I shut down the computer for the night. The next morning, Thunderbird immediately crashed/shut down when starting each of the 2 profiles I always use. The 3rd profile, which is the default-release running a different email, still seems to work normally. Thunderbird 115.10.1

I have tried Windows (10) safe mode, as well as thunderbird Troubleshoot mode and working offline, but the issue continued to occur.

I'm at a loss now as to what could cause 2 profiles to suddenly cause it to crash. By the way, one profile is for a gmail account and the other one is for an Outlook account, so they don't seem to be related.

In case it helps, there were 2 Microsoft Visual C++ programs installed or updated, and updates to Microsoft 365 and Google Drive just before the problem started. These were all auto updates in the background.

Any help from the Community would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I need help to log into Thunderbird. I get the same message over and over again (login to server imap.videotron.ca with username...............failed. I've tried several tried and true passwords from before and none fit.

I currently use imap with my email hosting provider and has worked well with Thunderbird. However, speeds are getting slower and storage costs have gone up. It is time for me to move non-current emails from my email account to back it up while still accessible. I was wondering if Thunderbird's Local Folders default path (C:\Users\......\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\......\Mail\Local Folders) can be changed to a google drive folder on D:\ drive. If there are any risks in doing so. Thanks.

Hi Team My Thunderbird account has a font corruption. Whenever I open a new message, The font appears as a weird shadowy type - See image attached. The signature is saved image. I can't set a Tahoma or Verdana or any from the overall font list as the base font. However, when I send the email, the recipient sees a normal tahoma font. Help!

Cheers Ian A user for 20 years at least!
