Guten Tag, seit dem Wechsel vom Hosting wird bei den Mails der Übermittlungsstatus (DSN) anfordern nicht mehr angezeigt. Woran liegt dies? Danke fürs Feedback. Grüsse TS

This questions is oft asked and answered, nonetheless, the answers include features I don't seem to have. Perhaps I am just not looking in the correct place.

I am told than once I am viewing the Address book, I can find "Export ..." and "Import ..." in the Tools menu (and that this is different from what one sees in when not viewing the Address book.

Not true for me. First, the Address book appears as a tab, just like and beside any open emails. Second there is no "Import ..." in Tools menu and the Export in that menu is the usual export of the entire profile, which includes the Address book in some form I am sure but not the form I need. See attached screenshot.

Seems I was able to do this in the past and the replies to others questions indicate it's still possible but try as I might, I can't find this feature.

If I am just being stupid, please be gentle in your response ...

Thanks, Tom Zeller

I recently received an update on my Iphone 14. I have files set up to see on my phone that mirror my desk top. When I drop an email into a file I can see it on my desktop but it does not appear on my Iphone. Please help me figure this out as I do a lot of business on my phone and must be able to access these out of office.

Thank you

1. When I start Thunderbird, the first thing that comes up is the "misinformation" "No message found". Only some time later is the inbox with the new messages displayed. The initial "misinformation" is annoying.

2. When I open a message, I have to constantly click backwards until I get back to the inbox. Why is there no button for this?

Please reply to delloc@gmx.de

Kind regards Dirk E.

I am having intermittent problems with inbound email messages showing only the "Subject" and everything else blank.

This only happens with emails from known persons or groups, and does not seem to happen with spam mail, or advertising and news email.

My email folder is nearing 200GB. Could this be the problem ? I also have an aging laptop, would moving my email to a new machine with better processing power fix this....???

Hoping someone else has seen this issue and can help.

Thank you !

I am long time user of Thunderbird and currently using version 128.10. I am having trouble downloading and sending email either from Gmail or from my MS Exchange account as of late (May 2025). Email sometimes selectively downloads but I am no longer able to send email either through my Gmail of MS Exchange accounts as both the Gmail and exchange SMTP servers time out. This problem started with the previous versions of Thunderbird circa Nov/Dec 2024. A Thunderbird or Windows update resolves the problem for a short time but then the problem it reoccurs. Server settings are all correct and have been checked multiple times. I've deactivated Norton AV and firewalls, added and/or verified port exceptions but to no effect. This problems has resulted in many overlooked important emails until they've been double checked on webmail portal. Is trouble sending and receiving emails a broader issue with Thunderbird users and are Google and Microsoft deliberately making it difficult to use Thunderbird as an email client? I've seen older posts dating to 2023 reporting similar problems and I'm surprised that without changing anything on my end that this problem suddenly popped up. Any suggestions on how to resolve?

Thunderbird shows me a Google login box for an account (@sidly.org) that I don't have in Thunderbird. I had one, used it, but removed all its details from the incoming and outgoing mail server settings. Nowhere in Thunderbird is there any more information about this account (@sidly.org) and the window still appears. Uninstalling and reinstalling has not helped. I would be grateful if you could point out where I can EFFECTIVELY remove this account information and why it still appears.

I am having recurring problems sending e-mails, not knowing when it is going to work or not. The following message is one that I usually get:

"Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <info@axxxxx.co.uk> recipient rejected - relay denied.

Please check the message recipient "info@xxxxx.co.uk" and try again."

I also get the following message when trying to send:

"Login to server mail.madasafish.com with username btom@madasafish.com failed."

These are my current settings:

Details of selected server: Description: btom Server Name: mail.madasafish.com Port: 25 User Name: btom@madasafish.com Authentication method: Password, transmitted insecurely Connection Security: None

I haven't changed any settings from the last time I was able to send e-mails, so I would appreciate any help.

SMTP settings for MYFAIRPOINT.NET (Server Name, Port, Security, Authentication). I have now spent 5 hours and cannot get Thunderbird to send a message through Myfairpoint.net. It used to work for years with no problem. My inbox with IMAP is working just fine.
