Thunderbird Support Forum

I'm using a VPN on my computer and phone and when I try to connect to the mail server, Thunderbird gives me an error saying that the mail server has disconnected. But when I disconnect from the VPN, everything works. This happens only with one mail server, on the others everything works OK even via VPN.

However, the the mail from this server is coming to my phone (where I use K-9 Mail).

I also tried to connect to the mail server via openssl, with the command "openssl s_client -connect mail.server.net:993 -crlf"

The connection is successful (when I'm on the VPN), but when I enter the command "a LOGIN my.username MYPASSWORD", it gives an error:

a NO [UNAVAILABLE] Maximum number of connections from user+IP exceeded (mail_max_userip_connections=20)

I have set the "Maximum Number of server connections to cache" to 1 in Thunderbird, I have set to check for mail every 12 minutes (it already was 15 minutes on the phone before), and it is still the same.

Any idea how to solve the issue? I am connecting to this server with the same username and from the same (VPN) IP only from my phone and my computer, so I find it really strange that there are more than 20 simultaneous connections...

First of all, I would like to thank you for allowing me to receive e-mail through your organization for quite a few years now. Up until about 3 days ago, there has never been any problems with it. Why is it, that I have NOT been able to receive my e-mails FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS NOW? The last thing you sent me was a notice that there was some sort of faulty access by someone to my e-mail account and that I would have to change my password. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO DO THIS, BUT EVIDENTLY, MY ATTEMPTS HAVE FAILED. Could you please help me now to accomplish this?

When I try to send a message from my Thunderbird POP Server account I get:

“Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) webmail.digitalspaceportal.net timed out. Try again.”

Try again never works

Here are my Outgoing Server settings

Description: webmail.digitalspaceportal.net Server Name: webmail.digitalspaceportal.net Port: 1025 Default: 465 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authenticity Method: Normal Password User Name: jrf.consulting@attglobal.net

I am on a Win 11 laptop running Thunderbird V115.11.0 (64-bit)

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble with my Thunderbird app (version 115.11.1) on macOS. I'm trying to add my Google accounts, but after I attempt to connect them, I receive the following warning message: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

I've checked the configuration multiple times to ensure it's correct. Here are the settings I'm using for Gmail:

Incoming Server (IMAP): Server Name: imap.gmail.com Port: 993 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication Method: OAuth2 Username: [my email address]

Outgoing Server (SMTP): Server Name: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication Method: OAuth2 Username: [my email address]

I've also emptied all saved passwords and allowed cookies from sites without any exceptions. Is the version of Thunderbird I have still incompatible with Gmail? Or is there another issue that I might be missing?

Thanks for your help!

Attempting to create an email account in Set-up Your Existing Email Address. After entering the email information and clicking "Continue" the IMAP data popup showed correct information with the "Configuration found at email provider". Clicking "Done" causes a loop on "Checking password". Attempting to "Configure Manually" and Clicking on "Done" gives me an "Incoming server already exists." message.

The only option I have is to cancel the configuration and start over. I have done this several times.

What did I change?: When typing a TB email, the sentence only types half the width of the page and wraps to the next line. Would look something like this: Isn't it great to be able to utilize the community to be able to resolve this issue I am having. I certainly hope it's a simple setting.

All contacts - email addresses- have disappeared - perhaps the compact request I received a day or 2 ago could have caused this??? Jerry Erickson jerry.erickson@midstatesd.net

I can receive mails - but not send mails An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: Service unavailable. Client host 80.208.65.43 rejected for spamming issues. Client Address 80.208.65.43 block for spam incident; http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=80.208.65.43 Service unavailable.

Is there a way to play a certain continuous tone when an incoming mail from a certain sender (e.g. xyz@example.com or just @example.com) comes in? That would be an extremely useful function, e.g. if you are waiting for particularly important and urgent mails and, for example, want to be woken up in the night when this particular important mail arrives.

I used to use Thunderbird exclusively, but GoDaddy dumped my three main mailboxes into Exchange Server; even with Owl, Tbird could only be used for one of them, so I was forced into Outlook for those accounts. But I kept Thunderbird to use with the non-GoDaddy mailboxes. However. I did not remove the GoDaddy accounts from Thunderbird, as I was busy. Now, when I click the Thunderbird icon on my taskbar, Outlook comes up instead. Ditto when I enter Thunderbird on the start menu! It's not even my normal Outlook, which has my main three mailboxes. but an Outlook that shows only the least-used of the three. How do I get Thunderbird back? And when I do, how do I delete those three mailboxes from it?

I have been successfully accessing my icloud account with thunderbird on Windows 10 for years and then on Tuesday (June 4th) it went weird. All I am left with is thunderbird's cached inbox e-mails. If I try to update the list of new e-mails, it just sits there with no errors reported. If I try to read some cached e-mails I can see the full text. (I am setup to always read plain text), but for some, I just get whitespace. I see "myname@icloud.com connected to imap.mail.me.com..." on the status line for most folders, but some just clear that status message.

I am not receiving emails and when I try to send an email I get a warning "Sending of the message failed.Peer’s Certificate issuer is not recognized.The configuration related to smtp.themessagingco.com.au must be corrected" I have made sure that the account information for incoming and outgoing mail is correct, but that is the limit of my understanding of what I can do. How can I correct this problem?

Hi. I have 3 e-mails. recently I could not receive on another e-mail. I called my cable tech. he said that thunderbird hadupdated and some users had problems. He had me change my port to 578. I did and now the same e-mail will send but not receive. so three of my e-mails will send and only 2 will receive. I am very ignorant with computer use. I use a flip phone for travel. thanks dan

I am running 115.4.1 (64-bit). I noticed fairly recently that my main gmail account is not downloading the latest emails. I went to "Help", "About Thunderbird" and got the following error:

Update failed. Updates available at https://www.thunderbird.net/

I'm including a screen capture of the error.

Am I supposed to simply download the version at "https://www.thunderbird.net/" and then run that?

Thanks for any help.
