Thunderbird Community Forum

I've been using Thunderbird for several years now and make a donation most years over recent years. The only thing I don't like about it is there is now way to block a sender.

two images. first image, the email that I SENT TO MYSELF, from my android phone, captured a product link, sent the link to me, and opened it on my desktop (or even opened on teh phone) and the HTTP link does NOT indicate it can be open,and if i hover over it, it does not open either.

BUT, if I FORWARD that same email to me (opened on desktop, forwarded to my email, and opened on desktop), it ALLOWS me to open it. why are the links not working if i send myself an email from my phone (where i browse products, etc, and caputere the links)? any assistance appreciated, thanks

Hi

I have Thunderbird 145.0 installed and made the settings for my Outlook mail account as you can see in the screenshot. I do not want the client to automatically check for mail.

However, each time it starts, I can see the notification in the bottom left bar, it will check for mail on the noted server. Those messages are then downloaded, if present.

The options to do that are not ticked, nor the option to check.

Any ideas how to stop this please..?

Thanks

Dear Support, when I forward a message, it gets successfully forwarded to the recipient, but the forwarding message itself is lost -- it's not in the Inbox folder, and not in the Sent folder.

The only indication is a forwarding icon in the forwarded message.

My settings are attached. I'm using IMAP with FastMail. I checked the Web interface and don't see the forwarding message there either.

I also tried selecting the `Sent Items` folder manually in the settings, no difference.

Here's a slightly trimmed `MOZ_LOG="IMAP:5,timestamp"` output https://gist.github.com/igrekster/f694698e4033637f2dd5d6202d99341d

Thanks!

How do I get Thunderbird to download from two mailboxes in the same account?

My friend has an In box and a second one called Wrenches that was set up in his Zimbra webmail. How can he POP download both mailboxes? It's fine if the messages all end up in the IN mailbox.

Att made me change my account password. Now Thunderbird cannot access messages. I have entered the new password in out going and incoming but there seems to be more to this than that because nothing happens. Where do I have to put in new passwords? Thanks so much. Marjorie

I cannot get connected to the ATT.NET server. I have the secure mail key code and have put it in and I still cannot get it to connect.

Thunderbird upgraded itself to version 140.2.0esr (64-bit). I also got a new browser tab for Thunderbird 140 Eclipse. However, now Thunderbird will not receive any new emails. I can see that they're out there via my mobile phone. I don't get any kind of message when I try to receive emails. It's as if it's totally ignoring my request. I have two email addresses - it will not work for either.

Additionally, I am able to send emails out to a gmail address. So the only issue seems to be receiving emails.

Specs: - I have a Windows 11 laptop. - I'm using POP3 (I know, my friends are giving me crap. But I want to keep my emails on my laptop, not on the server. I'm old school that way.).

I've tried requesting emails the following ways: - Hit F5 - Click on File | Get New Messages for | All accounts - Click on File | Get New Messages for | Current account - Click on File | Get New Messages for | <choose the individual account>

I've tried the following to resolve the issue, without success: - I saw online where someone mentioned a bug with the new version. They suggested creating a default account. I already had a default account, but changed it in hopes that it would help. However, it didn't. - I deleted the global-messages-db.sqlite file to try to rebuild the profile (this was also suggested online). The rebuild was successful, but I still could not receive emails.

Can you help me? Thanks very much!

After changing my settings for incoming and outgoing mail servers, Thunderbird still times out. Also, I changed the yahoo server settings to imap but the server type shows as POP. Is that causing the time out problem. Here are my current settings: Yahoo Server Type: POP Mail Server Server Name: imap.mail.yahoo.com Port 993 Username: dragracers@cox.net Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2 DOES NOT ask for account or anything else.

Description: Yahoo Outgoing server: smpt.mail.yahoo.com Port: 465 Security and Authentification: Connection security SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2 User name: dragracers@cox.net Does not connect with a time out approx. 30 seconds later.

Great, so I fix one problem, only to be confronted with a shiny brand NEW problem.

Version 141.0

Fixed the "T-bird lockup" when composing emails, so that's no longer an issue - - YAY.

Now, Tbird refuses to save drafts. I had it set to every minute while I was having issues with lockups; now, I'm seeing a "can't save draft' popup every minute. I mean really... I haven't changed ONE thing in the machine other than changing that "0" to a "1" in "about:settings." Is there something about that particular fix that could cause this "save no drafts" issue?

Don't have a clue where to even begin, since it cites either network issues OR file-access issues, and I fail to see why either would suddenly be an issue where it wasn't prior to fixing the lockups.

Anyone have any pointers where to start looking? I keep seeing reference to Tbird "logs," but have no idea where to find those. Seems a reasonable place to start (after all, it's the first thing I look at when my 3D printer goes nuts!)

in the last couple of days thunderbird has stopped showing emails from one particular account. Inbox is only showing messages up to yesterday, and all mail is only showing to the day before (?). The messages are on the proton webmail inbox ok, and are received by the proton mail app on my phone. I have not changed any settings, and it worked perfectly before now

my email is not synced to my phone or my other computer on my new Win11 computer . Yahoo is but not Thunderbird . I have to mark as read or delete messages that have been read on other devices when I get to this Win 11 machine . Thanks ! Ken

Not exactly , when I delete a message on my other computer or my phone they are not deleted on my Win 11 computer . My phone and Win7 computer seem act as if they are connected , my win 11 computer doesn't know that emails were read or deleted on the other system . Yahoo email seems to work across all , just not Thunderbird .

I'm trying to set up Thunderbird on my new Windows 11 computer. Every time I try to setup outlook.com I a get a message saying "Authentication failed. Please check the username and password" The version of Thunderbird I'm using is 144.0.1. I even went to outlook.com on line and changed to a new password and it still will not work. All my other email accounts are working perfectly.

Outlook works perfectly on my old windows 10 computer, but it will not work on this one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you,
