I have email [edited from public] @riverplazatravel.com purchased through Rackspace For days, on my emails through Thunderbird, I'm receiving emails but SENT emails disappear. They aren't showing in TRASH anymore, or SENT....they are disappearing and I have to check with my customer and they aren't receiving them. Big problem. Please help I've spent hours of research and dont understand much of that and so many are outdated. I've messaged and called various people. Your email was provided to me by Rackspace.

I have thunderbird downloaded on my PC and would like to be able to access my emails normally sent to my Apple address ending in @Mac.com. I have tried to set this up on my own with no success, so I turned to ChatGPT and spent 4 hours going down the rabbit hole that is AI. Total waste of time!!!! Now turning to, probably, where I should have gone to in the first place, you guys!! I don't need to access calendars or contacts etc just the email. Can someone who maybe has done this using the @Mac.com email address give me some step by step instructions on how to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks👍 Kev

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.

Hi, I have 3 gmail addresses and 1 hotmail address working in my Thunderbird.

It seems that when I right click on a file, a .PDF for example, and select send to mail recipient, Thunderbird usually opens the first email account in Thunderbird, maybe the default email address - I don't know. Whatever.

In most circumstances the senders address is usually NOT the account I wish to send the attachment from so I change the senders (my) address to the name/account in the headers that I want to send the email & attachment from. Perhaps the last account my cursor was sitting at...

When that email is answered, it comes back to me by the first email address in my list. It DOES NOT return to the senders address. The sent (by me) copy goes into the "Sent" folder from the correct address.

This gives the receiver an email address I don't want them to have.

Please help me vix this problem.

btw, I am running Windows 11 Professional with most of the Microslush removed.

Thanks in advance.

Since setting up Yahoo email on TB using POP3 setting, I noticed that while all my Inbox messages remain when downloaded on my PC, the Sent messages are being gradually deleted to leave only the most recent (currently) 11 messages, like it is if I log in online to Yahoo webmail. Does this mean I need to configure it to IMAP as well to make sure nothing is deleted once downloaded to TB on my PC?

I have version 153.02esr. Since two days ago I cannot reply or forward messages. It pulls up the appropriate page but there is no box to send, the space is just blank in the upper left hand corner.

I live in Germany and use t-online for my email. I can receive emails but not send. I have tried to fix it myself but nothing I do has worked. I don't understand all the technical stuff, so this is maybe my problem. Can anyone help me? PLEASE

Maybe there is someone near me in Germany (Obertshausen) by Frankfurt that can Help. I speak German so this would not be a problem.

It's been almost a week now, and my 2 Microsoft email accounts will not connect to Thunderbird anymore. All was fine for years, but something changed that I can't figure out!?! I have gone to my Microsoft email server and checked that my passwords still work. I even updated one and it works on Microsoft server but not Thunderbird's!?!? I even deleted one email account from Thunder bird to re-install it, but when I tried a fresh re-install Thunderbird still won't connect to Microsoft server??? I'm at my wits end, and may abandon Thunderbird completely if someone there doesn't help me connect!!!

In Thunderbird all of a sudden my sent e-mails are going in to the sent box of ANOTHER e-mail address I have on Thunderbird. I looked at some similar posts and think my settings are correct but obviously not. Please help! Thanks, Adam

I'm using Thunderbird 152.0a1 (2026-04-22) on Windows 10 64 bit. When I click the "Get Messages" button or File > Get New Messages for > [my e-mail account] nothing happens. The only way I've found to check for messages manually is by closing and re-opening the program.

Hello

i am struggling with TB as it always uses the default email of a server account.

Instead, i would like to use different accounts based on the recipients

I could not find an extension with this behavior.

For example, I would like all email exchanged (sent & received) to a domain ( @thatcompany.com ) to use a given account alias (myalias.email@proton.me)

Thanks for all assistance

I am using the latest version of Thunderbird 148.0 on a MacBook Air with latest OS Tahoe 26.3.

Yesterday I was unable to receive messages via Thunderbird app but could log in to my provider and view the messages on webmail. Checked my account configuration and changed the port to 110 which seemed to fix the problem.

However, this morning I again cannot receive emails but I can send them. When I click on Get Messages, the bottom pane which normally shows the app contacting the server and downloading messages instead only shows the blue 'thinking' line (sorry, don't know what proper terminology for this is) for a few seconds then stops.

When I go to Server settings for incoming and check connection to server it is fine.

Any ideas why this is happening?

HI, Thunderbird for Mac no longer allows me to see emails more than 4 months old. I have an AOL account and when I use the (lousy) AOL app I can see email going back at least a decade, so I know they are there.

This changed with a recent TBird update. I have checked online support, studied the different settings, and cannot find out how to set TBird to let me access all my email.

Can someone help me with this?

Thank you, James

Message Recieved:

*Fantasia I & II* Georg Philipp Telemann (1681–1767)
         Telemann’s Fantasias capture the brilliance and balance of the
         Baroque era—each movement a miniature world of counterpoint,
         grace, and invention.
*Kleine Passacaglia *Michael Kuntz (1915–1992)
          A modern take on a timeless form, Kuntz’s piece builds lyric beauty
          over a gently repeating bass figure. (See insert for more)
*Fair Phyllis I Saw* John Farmer (1570–1601)

Why doesn't Thunderbird have a recall feature where I can recall and given sent email like those in Outlook and Exhange has?

You know there is good reasons for wanting that ability and be supprised to see how many people wish they didn't send that email.

When attempting to send a web address under "file" tab using Thunderbird, there is an offering "email Link". "email link" does nothing with Windows 11 but worked with Windows 10? I have to copy and paste to send a web address to a mail recipient.

When email downloads from my internet server to thunderbird how do I indicate that the message is to be deleted from the server. ie I dont want the message to be in two places . At the moment after reading the email and saving it to a folder I have to log into my internet provider and delete the email.
