I have been using Thunderbird for years and have never had any problems; unfortunately, from few days, every time I try to download my mail, thunderbird starts downloading all my 15,000 emails, even though they have already been downloaded and read. I am desperate... I don't know what to do. Please help me... thanks!

Emails received in reply seem to couple themselves under the original sent email. How do I tell Thunderbird to treat them as separate, and stored them in my inbox as a separate individual email. Thank for your advice. Kanga85

Dear Thunderbird: I have lost my password for gerry@bablaw.com. Because I don't have the password for gerry@bablaw.com, please send any reply to gerryblodgett@gmail.com, or a text message to 1-508-450-0066. Thank you. Gerry Blodgett

Greetings. I'm using Thunderbird with SendGrid. I have three accounts I'm trying to send mail through. SendGrid uses a username of "apikey" and a long key as the password. I read the instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1495483 which seems to suggest this is possible. I've set up accounts for each of the three and they all work as long as I don't save the password. When I save the password the smtp saved password is saved for whichever one I'm using. I can't seem to save all three. If I save one and then move to the next account, the old password is used.

Can anyone confirm if this is possible? And if so can I get some suggestions about what I may be doing wrong?

I've read several of the threads that suggest that most people go wrong when they select the smtp server. I have followed the directions to select from the Outgoing Server list at the bottom of the left pane. Each copy of the smtp server has a unique description. I suspect its because the username is the same for each one. Which is required by SendGrid. Thanks!

I'm new to Thunderbird and I'm no longer tech savvy - ugh. Eventually, I want to delete my accounts with gmail and outlook. I've discovered in trying to bridge thunderbird to my network/router? (i think that's what's going on), my network/router is connected to my gmail account. I haven't figured out how to change that or if I should. But when I try to sign into thunderbird email, it asks me to sign in with my gmail account. I have an apple email account and trying to get that to be my sign in with thunderbird NOT gmail. Is it possible to sign in with apple account and if so what steps (please in very simple instructions) do I need to take to get the sign in to ask me to sign in with my apple account? Do I need to change my network/router (of which I haven't figured out how to do and if I can get around that I would love that) somehow to the apple account? help.... Thanks for any and all help in simple language please. email is sue.bolling@icloud.com (hopefully lol)

Keep getting a message for only some of our email addresses when sending messages. Attached is a screenshot of the message. I have checked the smtp settings and they each have their own outgoing settings and they are linked to the correct user name but some work and some do not. We also are getting an error that requests us to login to yahoo. The yahoo mail popup window opens, we enter the user name and it pops up the Turbify business email popup window (because it is a business email). We again enter the user name and password for the email and it opens an error message blocking the turbify site sayin it is suspicious. We have deleted the email account and then added it back, but it does not solve the problem.

Sometimes I'll get an email that will not open to read. And it is at random doing this.

What I see is this. In Outlook it is shown but will not open. While I get the same email in "gmail", it will open. If I open it in gmail and go back to outlook, it is now open. If I open another email in outlook and then go back to the one that does not open. It will not open again.

Does not make sense, does anyone have a "fix" for this problem? Thanks ahead for any suggestions or solutions.

Shortly after my Win10 x64 ver 22H2 update on tuesday 5/13, my Tbird fails to save any sent message with an attachment to the local sent folder. It is sent correctly and saved with attachment in the IMAP server's sent folder. The same message sent with no attachment will correctly be saved to the local sent folder as it should. In both cases the message "saving to sent folder" is displayed. The TB version was just updated to 128.10.2esr (64-bit) and issue continued as before. PC restarts make no difference. SFC system scan finds no issues. Had no issues with this PC & TB over last 5 years until now. Issue is annoying, since I frequently use the local sent folder to forward messages to additional recepients.

A few days ago I stopped getting my mail. I checked to see if the firewall was set to allow Thunderbird. It was. I tried changing account settings. I found out that if I changed Connection Security from STARTTLS to SSL/TLS there was no change. But, if I went to NONE my mail came through. Fine, but I don't want to go on without Security. Any suggestions?
