Thunderbird Community Forum

Hello, I just moved my email host from Microsoft to Bluehost and I am having trouble getting Thunderbird set up correctly. I can send and receive from Bluehost webmail, and I can receive in Thunderbird, but not send. I can reply successfully, but all sent mail from Thunderbird shows as sent but never arrives.

I am running Windows 10 and using Thunderbird 140.7.1esr

Any help would be great. Thank you!

My junk email has increased dramatically lately. I'm sure it's just life on the internet but I'm trying to figure out if clicking "unsubscribe" actually does anything. I've been putting all the emails that I click "unsubscribe" into a separate folder. I'd like to sort the folder by the email address of the sender. However, when you click on the "from" selection in the message window it gives you the entire entry that the sender put in the send section. In other words I see "The Scary Law, Thomas T. from NFE <daily@today.newfinanceera.com>". Is there a way to get a column that just shows the "<daily@today.newfinanceera.com>" so I can sort on that item?

Mit meinem e-Mail Konto .gmx.de kann ich keine eingegangenen Mails mehr weiterleiten und auch keine neuen Nachrichten mehr versenden. Nach dem Betätigen "Senden" kommt immer der Hinweis "Postausgangsserver SMTP kann nicht authentifiziert werden.Überürüfe Passwort und gewählte Authentifiziermethode unter Kontoeistellungen " .Ich habe aber nichts verändert und weiß nicht was ich in Einstellungen überprüfen soll oder ändern soll.

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.

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 can no longer send emails. I can send them through mail web browser and was in touch with their technical support and the problem is not on their end. The message I get when trying to send an email is: "Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to outgoing server(SMTP) Promail.ptd.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing STMP connections. Please verify that your outgoing server (STMP) settings are correct and try again". I checked my outgoing server settings and they are correct. I started Thunderbird in Troubleshoot mode and the problem still occurs. I started my Windows 10 in Safe Mode and the problem still occurs.

When I have Thunderbird desktop running but I am focused in another application, I receive a popup notification when a new email is received. In the popup, there is an X to make the notification disappear, but it would be very handy if there was also a trash can icon where, if you clicked on it, the message would be deleted from your inbox without having to go back to the TB app. I didn't see any such options in TB settings, and I have searched the forum to no avail. Is this possible? Thank you.

Hello, I just enabled the backup sync option for the Firefox web browser (Win 10). What is the equivalent process, or recommended method of enabling a backup for mail folders, calendar entries, address books, settings, etc. of the most current Thunderbird version on a Win 10 PC? I could not find a clear answer in the help forums. Thank you.

Hi, The question is in the title. I have imported my Outlook data in this 32-bits version (updated to 140.7) . I would like to keep them in a 64-bits version (147). I didn't find the solution. Thank you for helping me. Michael.

I am losing my Mediacom ISP account (which I have had for 20 years) at the end of this month. I have used Mediacoms web mail server all this time and want to keep many emails and addresses that are on their server. I was told that Thunderbird would allow me to transfer/copy these messages to my computer and retain them there in Thunderbird after I no longer have access to Mediacoms server. I have installed Thunderbird 3 times and spent 2-3 days with help from this forum trying to gt it to work properly but have not succeeded. I have a windows 10 HP laptop and am not completely computer literate so I don't believe I will solve this by myself. I even loaded up an old windows 7 computer which I did with ver 15. but that didn't work either. THe one difference I did notice is that the Tbird auto installation on my Win 10 machine selects POP and on the Win 7 machine it selects IMAP. Mediacom is uses IMAP

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have lost all stored folders with my email correspondence from the Local Folders for an unknown reason (I restarted my computer, and they disappeared). I can find some of these emails using the search option, but I cannot see the path of their storage location. I have checked my Profile/Mail/Local Folders, but they are not there. Are they stored on the server? How can I recover these folders?

Thank you very much in advance,

Jasmina

I don't think Arcgiving is really Performance but I can't find a better category. Is there a way I can get Thunderbird to Archive my 2021 files in Inbox into Archives>2021? I've done part of 2021 manually and need an app or something - but by year because I have to clean out first? Do I need to remove the 2022, 2023, and 2024 part of the structure to prevent them being archived?(again because I need to cleanout first)? Or would you suggest just archive everything up to and including 2024 and go thru archives to do my cleanup? Sorry this is very basic - I've only moved archives manually and need an app or add-on I believe.

Here's my structure:oops - can't use prt scrn to show you, sorry.

I do not know why but since yesterday I don't have the Orange Box in my Thunderbird home page to create a new message. I have to go into account and click on new message ( with a pen icon ). How do I get the orange box back. I have the orange area in the other pages like addresses, calendar, and the like, but not for new messages. How could I get it back because I installed a new copy of Thunderbird but it did not work. Thank you.

Since update to version 145.0 I cannot send messages, when sending I get this message "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <*******@shaw.ca> sender rejected AUP#POL. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again". Nothing has changed with account settings. Same problem on another machine that updated to 145.0. Any ideas what is broken?

Suddenly, when I go to send e-mails (to me, or anyone else) I get a pop up signal that says I can't send it because it might be questionable, etc. What do I do send my e-mails since none of them are "scam" or "questionable".?

Need help setting up my domain name with godaddy and Thunderbird email client. need to get DNS Records from godaddy also. Having more trouble with this than I should, I think. I have already setup an email account on Thunderbird with earthlink/mindspring and icloud. No problems at all, in fact, both were very simple. But no so much with the domain name and godaddy. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
