Thunderbird Support Forum

I suffered a BSOD on my fully up to date Win10 Pro (v 22H2, build 19045.4474)

Upon rebooting, Thunderbird is failing to open. The error message is:

   Unable to open the folder Inbox on xxx@example.com because it is in use by some other operation. Please wait for that operation to finish and then select the folder again.

There is no other process using the Inbox folder. I have rebooted and the error message persists. It looks to me like the more correct message would be that the Inbox or the profile is corrupted.

I see other threads asking how to restore a corrupted profile, but none of the answers are very useful. They all see to be tips on how to restore a backup of the profile at %APPDATA%\Thunderbird\Profiles.

If I had a backup of that folder, I wouldn't need to ask how to recover a Profile after a crash.

If it helps at all, when I opened the Error Console in Thunderbird, I see the following messages:

``` Uncaught Error: Component returned failure code: 0x8055000a [nsIMsgFolder.updateFolder]

There must be some tool that validates the Profile independently of Thunderbird.

Good morning. I have been unable to receive e-mails since 30/05/2024. Has the fact that I received an e-mail message from "Mail@voice" <mboudreaux@firmgroupagency.com> on 31/05/2024, got to do with the problem. I would be grateful could help solve the problem. Thank you. Emyr Davies.

I keep getting this message sporadically: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.hughes.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again."

I sent messages yesterday with no problem!

I can't see any issue with the SMTP settings. I've tried troubleshooting mode.
