Tried to install Thunderbird, after installing see by surprise that my 30 years old emailadres (simonroos@zeepost.nl) is already registered and that Thunderbird is trying to make contact with it, tried to delete it, without succes, that was yesterday. Today I deleted all, installed Thunderbird again, using my main gmail address and when it did not work also another gmail address and get same warning: Login to server not possible, probably wrong configuration, wrong username or password. Checking and checking again, no errors found. Thank you! Best regards, Simon Roos

I am having 3 different issues.

In version 115.4.2 the drafts folder repopulates itself with messages from my sent box randomly as it sees fit. I have to keep deleting them. Is there a fix for that?

I despise the accordion title pull down.s in the inbox and sent folders. I want to have my replies listed as a single message. Can I unset that despicable feature or do I have to back date to some other version. If so, which one?

Believe it or not, I was using thunderbird version 2.x.x but was forced to upgrade because Spectrum internet provider switched from pop mail to imap. What is the first version (older than 115) that allows imap.

We have been trying to repair the sent folder in Thunderbird without success. Messages do not get saved there. Several recently have ended threads an said there is no support for email but that seems to be confused? In any case it loos like there is no simple fix to get the sent folder back. Do you think it would solve the issue to uninstall Thunderbird and install it again? Thank you for the help.

Hi there,

i try to describe my problem as good as i can, i am no native english speaker, so sorry for any confusing phrases :)

What is my acutal problem? When i open Thunderbird it asks me to type in the password for the account. If i type it in without checking "save password" everything works. When i check that Thunderbird should save my password, Thunderbird is trying to send the login information, but after some time (about two minuets) i get a timeout error while trying to reach the mailserver. I am able to login and work with webmail, i contacted the hosting provider, we double checked all settings in Thunderbird and he also checked if any IP of me is blacklisted or something, but everything is fine.

Since when does this happen? I am self employed and i am providing IT support for customers. Yesterday i got this new customer who said he can't receive mails anymore. His installation of Thunderbird was really old (version 45.x), so first things first i updated the installation to the recent version. When i first opened the updated Thunderbird the password prompt appears and the problems begin.

What i tried to fix the problem I did some research. I searched for pkcs11.txt inside the profile, but there was none. After that i looked for key3.db and key4.db files, i found both and moved them both to a backup-folder and started Thunderbird again. key4.db is created new, but that does not fix the problem. I can't find any more related topics to my problem, so maybe some of you have any idea. As i said, when i don't check the box to save the password, Thunderbird is working fine without any problems.

Thanks in advance for any help,

greetings from germany Christian

As of a few months ago, I have been running into situations where my local folders wind up displaying some entries with no title, no sender, and garbled content (see image). Attempting to Repair the local folders does not have any visible effect.

Server is Microsoft Outlook, connected to via SMAP. I'm running Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64-bit) on Windows 10.

I'm also connecting to this mail server with Microsoft's android client, but that obviously doesn't know anything about the local folders so it shouldn't (?) be interfering.

This is Seriously Annoying. If I put something into the local folders, it's because I want to archive it for reference. That needs to be reliable.

Time for me to abandon Thunderbird? Or is this a known issue with a reliable fix?

Hi,

in some strange turn of events, it appears that all the messages that I had carefully tagged are now not visible or not available anymore. I don't know what I did (but I'm also rather new to TB).

I had tagged and the archive'd many (1000's of) messages. Until few hours ago, the messages were visible when exploring the tagged messages . The tags themselves are still visible in the Tabs pane, but all the messages inside not anymore.

The count of emails in the inbox seems to be correct, so maybe (hopefully) those tagged messages were not deleted. I've already run TB in 'Troubleshoot mode': doing that, the tags are not visible anymore either (and I have no easy way to know if one of the tagges messages previously stored there are still there).

The tagged emails are from an IMAP account. I am on version 115.9.0 (64-bit), MacOS 13.6.3 (22G436), cpu M1Pro.

Any advice highly appreciated.

Hi,

I am creating a thunderbird extension for cryptography. My JavaScript code contains libraries such as tweetnacl, crystals-kyber and crypto-browserify. I bundled my code using browserify in hopes of getting it working within thunderbird. My code is working when run within VScode using node.js.

I encounter the error that 'webcrypto' is undefined. I assume this means that thunderbird cannot support webcrypto, which I think crypto-browserify is reliant on.

Is there any way to get webcrypto and therefore crypto-browserify working within thunderbird? Or alternatively are there any alternative thunderbird-compatible libraries that can perform the same functions? This would need to include Key Derivation Functions for example.

Thanks

Hello, I recently built a new Windows 11 desktop machine to replace my old one. I thought I had done things right, but apparently I messed up somewhere. I copied the Thunderbird Profile from my old machine and used it to transfer everything to my new machine after I downloaded and setup the latest version of Thunderbird on it. It kind of worked. The good news is that it doesn't appear that I lost anything, however I now have two sets of folders. At the top of the window on the left is my email address, with Inbox, Draft, Sent, Junk and Trash folders under it. This "new" Inbox is where any new emails arrive. However, under that it says Local Folders, which has Junk, Trash, Outbox and then another Local folders, which also has an Inbox folder with all of the many sub-folders where I had stored all of my emails for the last five years, by topic. I would like to have just one Inbox, where I get my emails, and then have all of my old topic folders under that, the way it used to be. Somehow I now have two sets of Inbox folders. Thanks for any help you can provide. It's a bit confusing to me. Dave

Why can't Search just be on the menu like it used to be?

Made a mistake and installed 157.7.0 on Linux

Now cannot backup/restore to another computer so cannot use that computer.

Old Profile used to be in .thunderbird folder - easy!

Now profile seems to be in /home/oem/snap/thunderbird/common/.thunderbird/26pphmrb.default

This does not contain all emails especially for pop3 and anything after Nov 23. It does not work

Q's

Best way to fix? Can I force it TBird to read the .thunderbird in home directory? Can I install an older version of TBird easily? Is there some other way to restore the profile and clone another computer?
