Thunderbird Support Forum

Title. Thunderbird is a really cool client but it's pretty slow. I blame that on the thousands upon thousands of emails that my hotmail and gmail each hold. I don't necessarily want to delete these emails, but I have seldom a reason to have any email older than 2 months in my thunderbird client slowing and crashing the program whenever I want to combine inboxes.

To this end I went to "Synchronization & Storage" and told it to "Synchronize the most recent 2 months" but it didn't delete the huge cluster of older emails. The next option is to tell TB to delete these emails in the same menu but as I understand it that would also delete them in the server, which I don't want to do for posteriority.

What do I do?

This is the message I get when trying to send emails: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: pgbentley101@gmail.com recipient rejected. Please check the message recipient "pgbentley101@gmail.com" and try again."

I use 3 calendars:

• 666jjv this is my personal and Google calendar
• Holidays in France
• Holidays in Belgium;

Obviously, when I want to add an event, it is in the first one. For some reason, when I create an event, the clandar "holdays in France" is presented and I have not to forget to change it 666jjv.

Is there a way to have 666jjc as first and even unique choice?

I have used Thunderbird for a long time to get away from all the bells and whistles that bloat other programs and now threatens the same for thunderbird! All I want is to be able to receive, store, and print e-mails or critical parts of them. Thunderbird has now got to the point I can only see a part of the email at the bottom of the screen. If try to select a portion of it, it downloads or prints all of it with a complete page of useless data about the source! Fortunately I can use Fineprint to clean it up, but that shouldn't be necessary. I contribute occasionally since I value your efforts, but I am beginning too question continued use that isn't any better than all the others.

Question about Thunderbird 115.4.1 and Gmail. In the "All Mail" folder... I delete messages - but only to see them still there the next day. I tried empty trash as well as compact folder and expunge - but I clearly am doing something wrong. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong and help me?! I also tried both moving to trash folder in different directory as well as "delete immediately" in Account settings.

Bonjour, Je suis sur thunderbird béta par hasard (mauvais téléchargement, erreur de manipulation) et, je désire soit retourner sur thunderbird release ou que thunderbird béta soit en français car je ne maîtrise pas du tout ni l'anglais ni l'informatique. Pouvez vous résoudre mon problème. Merci. Cordialement. Gilles

I am using older Thunderbird 102.x due to newer version having an issue. The Search tab contains "Find Events" input area, where i can search all Events, but not Tasks. Which is weird and wrong IMO. I always assumed that it search everything in calendar. So how do i search also Tasks or how to convert all to events?

From the beginning i was not told the difference between the Events and Tasks, it is not enough intuitive for me to differentiate the two. https://superuser.com/questions/1321548/thunderbird-add-on-lightning-what-is-the-difference-between-event-and-task

I use Thunderbird for 4 Google email accounts and 1 Sasktel email account. All 5 accounts are IMAP. Sometime within the last few days, hundreds of sent emails have gone missing from one of the Google email accounts, and the single Sasktel email account.

I haven't made any changes.

My disk cleaner is set to leave Thunderbird alone.

Thunderbird updates automatically. Could the most recent update have somehow deleted my emails?

Is there any way to get those sent emails back on my laptop? I see that they still exist on the Sasktel and Gmail servers (if that's the right terminology)?

I just downloaded Thunderbird for the first time because I have several emails and want to manage them all in one place. The calendar is great and brought my google calendars right over, but my wife and I share our calendars with each other and hers isn't showing up on here, like it did on google. Is there a way to import her shared calendar into mine in Thunderbird?

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

Issue 1: When using the scroll bar to browse the list of emails, it skips one email (advances too much), so when searching I sometimes cannot find that email. I tried resizing the list of emails to try to match the vertical size, but it does not seem to help.

Issue 2: I cannot customize the vertical size for the list of emails. It won't accept reducing less than about one third of the vertical size of the thunderbird window.

Issue 3: In between the list of emails and the display of the current email content, there is a large area that I find redundant. The 'From', 'To', 'Subject', 'Date' is redundant since the list of emails already show all this information. I cannot find a way to remove, minimize or compact this region. Even the list of buttons could be removed in my case since I mainly use shortcuts and anyway, they are available in the menu or when you right click on an email.

All my emails are missing, and I've looked online for solutions, and searched your "Support", but none of the suggestions have worked. My total emails still shows that they must be somewhere, but I need help!!!

When creating an email and typing the recipient in the "to" field, only 20 matching recipients are shown, the rest are not shown. How to remove or increase this restriction.

I have used Thunderbird email for many years. Starting today, I am not able to send an email. I get the following error message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: p-impout007.msg.pkvw.co.charter.net cmsmtp Connection Rejected - see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/24.106.196.86 AUP#Out-1220.

When I go to that web address, the web page says "Invalid Input".

What do I need to do to fix this problem? My email address is gbeale@ec.rr.com

I am unable to send emails using my thunderbird account from my OnlineBookClub addresses. I get the error message " The message could not be sent becauseconnecting to outgoingserver (SMTP) mail OnlineBookClub.org failed. The server may be availableor is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your outgoing server settings are correct and try again.

I am using Mediacom ISP. I can receive emails but cannot send them. I used 2 different outgoing servers- smpt.mediacombb.net port 465 and port 587. I get 2 different error messages when I try to send.

Sending of the message failed.  using port 587

An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: mcc-obgw-6001a.ext.cloudfilter.net cmsmtp ESMTP server temporarily not available AUP#DNS.

Sending of the message failed. using port 465 The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smpt.mediacombb.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP)correct and try again.

Do either of these help to explain the problem?

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.
