Thunderbird Support Forum

In November of 2020, I was forced by ATT to stop using Thunderbird as my email client, for both incoming & outgoing email. ATT changed its security protocols, and that required that I begin (at that time) using ATT's (pathetic) email client.

I have used the very clumsy, very limited ATT / YAHOO email client ever since... and, hated every minute of it.

I had previously used Thunderbird for 10-20 years, literally, and I loved the dynamic functionality which Thunderbird offered.

Since then, I have hated my ATT / YAHOO email experience, and I would like to start using Thunderbird again, if that is possible, considering the ATT security protocols.

Can anyone help me ?

Hello, I might be asking the wrong people this question but I have to start somewhere. When ever I press ENTER while writing a letter in the ThunderBird E-Mail program I get a complete line skip. This makes the letter look very funny. Thank you for your attention to this matter for me.

Attention: Toad-Hall Jan 18, 11:33:01 PM - - Many thanks for answering my first query: Have not tried any of your suggestions as yet, truth be told don't think I would be able to. My new query, between the time of asking my first question and receiving your email we somehow retrieved our emails, have no idea how this happened, however, we are now able to send and receive emails: My new query, can you help us retrieve our local folders. Thank you.

Emails that have been opened and are around 1 month old, drop off my viewing pane, how do I set it up so I can see older emails that I have opened and wish to keep? It is only with this email address [email]@bigpond.com my other email address (hotmail) is fine?? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. Simon Ewen

I have unwanted Text being displayed on my Desktop. Currently the word "Thunderbird" is being displayed and I cannot get rid of it. I previously had the word "Firefox" displayed. I have removed Firefox and reinstalled it, but still have the same issue

Hi,

It used to be that I could add a new filter at the top of the list, and then hold down Alt-D while the key repeat would make the filter scroll down at the repeat rate until I released the key. It was easy to add an entry and move it quickly to the right position. Now that no longer works: I need to hit Alt-D or tap the Move Down button repeatedly to do the same thing.

I have about 300 filters that are stored alphabetically, so tapping a key or a button on average 150 times to position the filter is a pain. I know I can scroll the filter cursor to the right position and then add, but that doesn't work when I right click on the From field of a message I want to make a filter from to create a filter for it.

Am I missing something? If not how would I request changing the key repeat for Alt-D or Alt-U so it works like it used to?

Thanks, Mike

I can't send or receive messages using Mozilla Thunderbird using my [edited] @wavecable.com account. About a week ago I got the following notification:

Sending of the message failed. Peer’s Certificate has been revoked. The configuration related to mail.wavecable.com must be corrected.

I've been using Thunderbird for at least 10 years and Never made a change to the configuration.

I suspect that the problem is with Thunderbird because of unique way Wavecable is configured.

Please check to see if it's the problem is with Thunderbird or Wave and tell me how I should proceed.

Thanks, Ed Murach

Hello!

I spoke with Google Workspace support yesterday and downloaded email data from my account as a back-up. Google Workspace support recommended I download Mozilla Thunderbird, stating I could import the downloaded Gmail data into Thunderbird so I can directly access these emails. I have downloaded and made an account, but I cannot find where and how to do this process. Is this something you are able to help me with?

Thank you for your time and help!

Best, Ashley

My emails in Thunderbird no longer 'sends'. I get the message 'Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Authentication Required. Learn more at
