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

Cox.net is transitioning from in-house e-mail to e-mail handled by Yahoo.com. Our cox.net addresses are supposed to (and apparently have) transitioned so that they still work, but are processed through pop.mail.yahoo.com.

It is my turn to be transitioned and I have been successful in doing so to the extent that I can send and receive using my address(es) ...@cox.net through Yahoo web mail and on my Samsung phone. I have not, however, been successful in either sending or receiving mail using Thunderbird on my desktop.

I have been successfully using Thunderbird with POP settings for years with four different cox.net addresses. [I'm currently just trying to get two of them working -- unsuccessfully.]

I am using Windows 10 on a Dell desktop. I am using Thunderbird 115.9.0 (32 bit). I have reset the POP and SMTP settings as directed by Yahoo. One of the errors I receive is: "Error with Account .... Sending of password for ...@cox.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded (SYS/TEMP) Server Error - Please try again later." It then asks me to retry or enter a new password. I have checked the passwords saved by Thunderbird and they are correct.

I suspect, that with all the Cox accounts being newly routed through Yahoo servers that I am not the only Thunderbird user experiencing this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it likely to help if I uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird? Would I loose all my mail, etc. if I did that? [I did the delete and add account in my phone and that was successful, but I wasn't concerned about losing mail there as it is all on my desktop.]

Thanks in advance. billb1111

I am showing beside the inbox that I have 4 unread emails, but I have nothing in the message (inbox) folder. I have looked everywhere and cannot find these messages anywhere.

I use Thunderbird for my email. I have two computers and have donated on each on of them over the last few weeks. The Donate page appears when I am in my email and takes up the bottom half of the display. How do I get rid of this and stop it from coming back? Thanks for your help. Gary

Hi.,

 Cox cable just discontinued their email server and moved all it's email accounts to Yahoo.

I had been using Thunderbird successfully with Cox for several months before this happened.

 I am able to send and receive emails now via my new online Yahoo server;  however I have not

been able to connect / use Thunderbird to send and receive emails since the Yahoo changeover. I have tried many things, but I either get a "failed" error message or a "timed out" error message. Yahoo support has not been able to figure this one out. They are hard to get a hold of and hard to understand (communicate with). They are overseas from the US.

 I appreciate any help you can offer.

Kind regards, Ken

I have two email accounts on Thunderbird. One, the gmail account still works perfectly, but the other, a cox.net, has started today to not move and messages to trash or junk as set by the settings. This problem is across all my devices, PC, ipad and Iphone.

Is there a simple fix to enable links in emails? I've tried several suggested fixes but still the links don't work.

Changing settings documentation is confusing for non-developer types. Instructions are cumbersome and unclear.

When I attempt to send an email, I get this pop-up:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: impout006.msg.chrl.nc.charter.net cmsmtp 15.181.97.27 blocked. Please see https://www.spectrum.net/support/internet/understanding-email-error-codes for more information. AUP#Out-1130.

My ISP is Spectrum, they said issue is with Thunderbird, incoming s/b 993, outgoing 587, which I confirmed. How can this be fixed?

I have Thunderbird, version, 115.6 on my iMac. Up until this morning I have had no problems.

First when I used "Get Messages" this morning it kept telling me there was an error with my server. But after the error was fixed by contacting the server, Thunderbird was no longer able to connect to the server any more. I can send messages ok and they go through but I can't receive them since "Get Messages" no longer works.

My Apple Mail program on my laptop works fine, so the server is back to working properly and I can pick my Thunderbird sent messages there.

How can I get Thunderbird to connect to my server again for incoming messages?

Thank you, Martha

I have a personal family domain, with email service - my provider supplies me with a number of pop3/smtp addresses.

I have a Thunderbird a/c setup on a desktop running Linux Mint, thgunderbird version 115.5.0 (64-bit) SUPERNOVA using one of the pop3/smtp addresses - husbandATmydomain.me.uk and I receive emails from another of the domain's pop3/smtp addresses, sent by my wife from a Windows 10 laptop using Thunderbird, under the address wifeATmydomain.me.uk

Her Thunderbird a/c is correctly set up in her Thunderbird, to use the smtp server for her email address, wifeATmydomain.me.uk. There are no other addresses or identities set up on her thunderbird account. My thunderbird a/c is correctly set up to use the smtp server for husbandATmydomain.me.uk and has several other pop3/smtp addresses able to send addresses using their own smtp servers.

In MY Thunderbird address book my wife's address is given as wifeATmydomain.me.uk, with the display name "wifefirstname surname".

When I receive an email sent by my wife, to me, it appears in my Inbox with the Correspondents column showing MY name not hers. This means I am constantly missing emails from her. because her name is not visible in Correspondents column, but mine is there instead.

The Reply To: and From: addresses are correctly given as wifeATmydomain.me.uk when I examine the receive email details. It is only displayed with MY NAME, in the Correspondents column in the Message list header pane, using Classic View. Everything about her emails displays correctly in Message View, using Full Headers display.

The only thing I could find in research was to make sure her a/c was using the correct smtp server. It is.

How can I fix this please?

I have set up a number of Message Filters to automatically run when new email is recieved. None of the run automatically on new email. This is frustrating on it own however I can’t even run them manually on individual filters for the inbox. I have recently moved to Thunderbird for my primary mail client from Mac Mail and definitely like it better, but filters not working and working perfectly in Mac Mail makes it difficult to switch over completely.

UNABLE TO DELETE MESSAGES FROM MY INBOX

I have a problem with being unable to delete messages from my in box.

I have searched the online support and found a couple of articles going back to 2020:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1292956

and

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1293317

but they seem to relate to an older version, as mine is 115.4.3 (64 bit).

Having taken a backup first, I’ve followed all the instructions including deleting the Trash folders and forcing an index repair without any success.

The problem doesn’t occur on every message and I seem to be able to delete the odd one but at present I have almost 1,000 messages in my inbox awaiting deletion.

I’m using Windows 10 Home, version 22H2, a POP3 account and regularly compact all folders.

The second of the above articles asked for an image of my ‘pop account name’ folder, which is attached.

I hope someone can help me please.

Regards and TIA

Phil

I want to single space my out going messages. I changed the paragraph setting from body text to paragraph format, this temporarily fixed it but it went back to double spacing

Hello, Experts:

First up, I'm a happy user of Thunderbird with some years of experience. I make use of filters, and up until about 2 weeks ago they all worked. Now two of my filters (not all) have stopped working automatically, and I have to go to Tools/Message Filters and run them manually.

I'm on TB 102.15.1.

I have deleted the non-working filters and re-created them. No change in behavior.

I would NOT like to de-install/re-install TB because it's a good deal of work, and TB is a critical system for me.

That said, I keep a laptop computer for travel, and the filters work on that platform. IS THERE A WAY to copy a file or folder over from the working laptop onto my desktop machine, where the filters have failed?

Thanks in advance, Bob
