Thunderbird Support Forum

Hi Really need some help please.

Running TB latest version 115.11.0 on Win 10. Multiple gmail and other accounts, both POP and IMAP.

Following a catastrophic loss of accounts and messages, I made a fresh TB install then I restored from a previously saved profile from a month ago.

Accounts and folders with messages all now appear.

With one POP gmail account, the inbox and sent folders are stuck at last month's position. I expected the last month's messages to be downloaded as soon as I log into TB, but I'm not able to Get Messages.

My TB log in to collect gmail messages is rejected with this message - The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: [AUTH] Invalid credentials.

I have checked the account settings server address, and password is set to 0Auth2.

I have changed the gmail password on the gmail website (browser is Firefox) - which is accessed without problem, but only incoming mails are visible, my outgoing mails should be on my PC.

Every time I get the "enter new password" dialog I enter the password that gets me into gmail's on-line website - it is rejected with the STAT message.

I cannot send or receive gmail messages through TB - how can I force gmail to let TB access my emails?

Quite often recently, Thunderbird just stops pulling in emails.

It seems that I need to upgrade but find out by chance by looking under About under Help. Should there not be some other prompt as it is very confusing and some may have no idea what is happening?

Thanks.

Thunderbird 115.11.1 (64-bit) Windows

Hi,

Thunderbird is not threading messages properly. It only seem to go one level deep ...

This is what it shows: aaa ..bbb ..ccc ..ddd ..xxx ..yyy

Where it should be: aaa ..bbb ....ccc ......ddd ..xxx ....yyy

I cannot find a way to fix that.

Help please.

I have used Mail Merge addon for years and it works fine. But I would like to use the if then else capability in my TO line. I have the authors page on usage but everything I try seems to be wrong. I have a spread sheet with the following headers: Email Veteran

Under email is the email address. Under Veteran is either Y or N. If used as stand alone {{Email}} in TO line substitution is flawless.

However if I use {{Veteran|Y|Email}} it doesn't work. I have tried enclosing the Y in both single and double quotes and that does't help. I have replaced the Email field name with some text and that doesn't work. So I am thinking that I must have an issue with the way the fields are being interpreted.

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Thunderbird and MailMerge addon.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I've noticed recently that addresses that were in my personal address book have disappeared, basically they've been deleted. This next bit is from memory so excuse the vagueness. The last time I looked for these I found them in a bin marked as "deleted by thunderbird".

What is going on?

I need these addresses back.

Hi When I send an email they are not going into my "sent" box. They are going into a folder with both my email account addresses i.e. if i send an email from my email account sandy.bell3@bigpond.com it goes into a folder of that email name & the same for my business email account it goes into a folder named csb.wandpc@bigpond.com which came up that obviously was created by you. I would prefer them to go into my proper "sent" folder. How do we fix this. Many thanks. Sandy

I have many programs/apps in my Windows 10 task bar (at the bottom of the screen), and when one of those programs is minimized, the task bar icon for that program has a blue line under the icon, to show that it is still active, but not showing on screen -- that is, except for Thunderbird. If I'm not writing a message in TB at the time I minimize it, there is no blue line under the icon. The problem is: when I'm ready to shut down a session and I've been using Thunderbird at some point in the session and have minimized it, I can't tell from the task bar icon whether TB is active or not, without clicking on the icon. I don't want to have to do that every time I close down the computer, and I don't want to close the session with TB still active. It seems that a simple coding addition would fix the problem, and I can't believe no one else has mentioned the problem. This is not new with 15.1 -- it's been going on for several versions. The ONLY time the icon appears is when there is more than one page of TB open (like Main & Write).

Your prompt response is appreciated. Thanks, engrollie

I have a new email which has been set up in outlook 365. I have created the new identity in thunderbird which thunderbird set up. The new identity will receive emails, it will send read receipts, but will not send emails. It just says "sending message" but it never goes. I have waited for about 3 minutes and it doesn’t even seem to time out.

My email address is [edited] @roadrunner.com Since early May, I haven't been able to get emails because I keep getting asked for a master password. I don't know it - I don't remember ever having to create one. Please help.

Good morning, I would like to ask you about differencies (0 messages vs. 4 message) in search in TB vs. Outlook. Please see in attachment. Can you help me with this problem pls? I use IMAP settings in both email clients. BR Tibor

I was able to use items saved in my template file yesterday. This morning there are ZERO saved templates. I recreated 1, but I had 50+. Am I out of luck retrieving, and if yes, is there a way to stop this in the future?

In earlier version of Thunderbird I could type in the name of a sub folder address book, Thunderbird would recognize it and add all the entries automatically. Now, in the new improved version, this doesn't happen and the only way I can see of adding the names is to manually select and add all the members of the book. Is there a way of getting Thunderbird to add the sub folder members automatically as before?

I cannot see my accounts/emails as they suddenly disappeared. I am able to see my accounts when I go to File > Get New Messages For, but I am unable to do anything with my Thunderbird app. It shows nothing no matter where I click. The app is updated, and I have even uninstalled and reinstalled it.

Shaw e-mail has stopped working after years without issues on T-Bird. (G-mail still works) I use Shaw.ca e-mail, and recently have been getting a pop up error message. the error message reads 'The IMAP server imap.shaw.ca does not support the selected authentication method. Please change the Authentication method in the Account Settings Server Settings'. I have read online that the AuthO2 method is upposed to work, but it does no. Acckk - help anyone?

I have used Thunderbird for decades, first on Windows, and in more recent years on linux.

Note this refers to IMAP.

I have subfolders under sent for particular organisations. These have worked well for several years, but recently have found that many are not moved to their relevant folder, and some sent mail that should stay in the main sent folder, end up in just one of the sub folders. If you move it back the the sent folder it returns to that sub-folder The only change that I have made is moving from Plusnet to Zoho to host my mail around the beginning of the year. However, this problem has only been seen relatively recently, and IIRC first seen after a TB update, though there have been other updates since. When I first noticed that the sent mail was not moving to the subfolders I ran the filters manually and all of the other sent mail disappeared, including on the server. Luckily I had a backup.

I may have to make the sent subfolders as subfolders of the incoming mail though I don't really want to do that, and I don't know if I wil still have issues.

Any help will bee greatly appreciated

Hello, I have set up several mail accounts in Thunderbird. Unfortunately, the inbox of one account is not displayed in the Inbox group, the archive of another account is not displayed in the Archive group and the third account has an entry in the Sent group, but it is out of date. Instead, the current one can be found separately in the ‘Folder’ account. How can I fix this in the grouping view?

Sometime within the past few weeks, some images are failing to display inline. Mixed symptoms: sometimes get box where image should be, sometimes just see a link. TBird doesn't ask permission to display online content. Tried help and online search, without success. Screenshot attached. Thanks!

Good morning Windows 10, TB 115.11.0 32 bit. Multiple email accounts, some gmail, others like sfr, lol and free. All accounts use POP. All working before weekend, shut down the PC. Monday morning, opened Windows, all seems there except TB which has a screen with an Account Setup tab inviting me to set up an existing email address. Close that tab and the attached screen image appears, open tabs blank, no accounts pane on the left, no emails, no local folders. Nuffin. Restart TB and Windows, twice, still Nuffin. Look in Profiles, yes, under Mail all profiles appear to be present and the correct size. Going to gmail’s on line email system shews account open and receiving email normally. I had a problem a month ago after a TB update when all accounts were present but no emails were displayed. I changed the password to 0auth and recovered my emails. That took three days to resolve and I lost a business client through the delay in responding. Today I must file several court documents or I shall be in deep poo. Any suggestions how to recover the left hand accounts pane and see the accounts and folders will earn my undying gratitude.
