I have tried all the resetting of passwords and each item in the account settings ( I think I have). Each time when I test it says that the incoming server was found. Nothing about the outgoing server. I'm using Windows 11 and I think the latest Thunderbird version. I really need help to get past this. Further, when I attempt to send with "Control - Enter " keys, The error message uses the wrong server name.

I have had Thunderbird for several years. For some reason, it got to where Thunderbird wouldn't allow me to send out emails. It would retrieve them, but I couldn't send out. I tried fixing it to the the limit of my knowledge of these matters - and I could have made things worse - but nothing worked. Finally, I deleted what I thought was the entire Thunderbird program and downloaded new / reinstalled. Unfortunately, I still have the same issue. Any advice? Thanks.

I recently switched to a new desktop computer running windows 11.

I installed Thunderbird and copied the profile folder accross from my old PC, which was running Windows 10.

Everything appeared as expected when opeing up thunderbird on the new pc - emails, subscribed calendars etc. I can access all calendars and add / modify events etc. I can see that the Google calendars are syncing OK as events added throught Thunderbird show up on my phone when accessing the calendar directly. Reminders also appear on my phone for events added through Thunderbird on my PC, but no reminder window anywhere on my Windows desktop.

I'm wondering if this is a Thunderbird issue or if it's Windows 11 blocking the notifications.

Any help much appreciated

Hi, I often recieve mails with an invitation for a date. Opening the mail I see the date and 3 buttons accept, preliminary and reject (I am not shure about the English buttons) When clicking accept no mail to the invitor is send. What setting is wrong? I am using 128.9.1esr (64-Bit) Many thanks Wolfgang

I want to switch from Outlook and use Thunderbird for our office emails. However there is no way to protect the saved email logins.

When I use a master password, every time the user opens Thunderbird, they need to enter the password but I do not want to give them the master password as it defeats the purpose. Ideally the master password or another setting should protect the saved logins only and the user should be able to login to Thunderbird without additional password.

So this means Thunderbird is not an application to use in office environments?

In 2023 I lost my access to Thunderbird email ccounts when Cox.transferred email accounts to access through Yahoo. During that process I had to change passwords on about 6 email accounts several times. I was usung thru Thunderbird. At thin point I can read old emails from about 2022 - 2033 on thunderbird . Thunderbird keeps telling me to put in th password -- but the password bave been changes so much I do not know what to enter for thunderbird.

BUT I have can access the ...cox.com email thru Yahoo. However the needed gyrations drive me nuts.

Is there anyne who can help me get back to using Thnderbird?

I thought I'd subscribe to an RSS feed using Thunderbird. I got to the add feed window but it is too big for the screen and I can't scroll down to click the enter button. Nothing I do enables it to resize, including in settings and about:config. I'm on the latest linux version.

Thunderbird performs a compaction. When it is finished the blue progress line is still showing on the bottom right hand side of the window.

You can select any folder and any view condition (read, all, tags etc) and no emails are shown anywhere.

• Restarting Thunderbird fixes the problem with no errors.
• This has happened a lot of times now and is consistent.
• If you force a compaction the problem does not occur.

Update: Usually, in frustration, I restart Thunderbird to fix the problem. This time, whilst typing this forum question, the problem resolved itself. I guess about ten minutes elapsed before the application righted itself. I will watch for the next incident and see what other information can be observed.

Have been using Thunderbird for a long time >4 yrs) and only recently when sending emails to Yahoo email addresses they get bounced back with an R8 Authentication Failed Must Login Error 5 message As said no issues before and just stared in past week. Checked and confirmed with my internet provider all my settings are correct so mus be either a Thurnderbird or Yahoo mail issue Any help anyone could provide to help me get this issue fixed would be greatly appreciated

Hi, I have a strange experience with thunderbird's calendar: an hour or two after i created a new appointment in my calendar, i cannot change this appointment anymore. When i do so, this appointment is not saved anymore when i click on "save & close". When i alter and save this appointment within the hour it works normally and the item is saved as expected. I searched the settings, but nothing could be found concerning this issue. My OS: Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS. Thank you very much for your efforts. Wyl. Holland.

Whilst setting up Thunderbird I have had trouble setting up XMPP. My XMPP account works fine with BeagleIM but I am having trouble getting used to how Thunderbird does things. Anyway, I now have more than one XMPP account but cannot delete the unwanted ones. How can I delete duff XMPP accounts?

I am trying to set up second email address from my current account to use on a second home computer that I will be using for work. I keep going in circles following instructions etc. but when I get to the pass word I get a 'red' message that indicates it doesn't recognize me. What's up can someone help? I am digitally challenged.

I do not understand why in the left hand side bar window I have listed both "Local Folders" and "Local Folders2". The problem is that when I go to look up something I thought I had archived I find it is not there. I thought the folder would contain it. However it got put in the folder either called "Local Folders" or "Local Folders2". I would rather there not be two "Local Folders". As it is now if I archive something and go to look for it, I won't know which place I archived it because both of those folders have the same listing. It is really confusing to me. What can I do so that I will only have one "Local Folders" listing.

Does anyone know of a plug-in or a way to password protect a profile using the profile manager?

If this question has been asked before, I'm sorry, didn't find it myself. So what it is I'm looking for is a way to password protect a profile from being opened unless the correct password is entered. Does anyone know of a way to make this happen?

Don't want to create a different windows profile to do this.
