Thunderbird Community Forum

Since Thursday last week, I've not been able to receive or send e-mails.

I constantly receive the error asking for my password. It's the same for my hotmail account and my two gmail accounts.

Please help.

Thunderbird stopped working and crashes at startup. It fails also in safemode. Any idea?

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

Last night (9/23/2024), Thunderbird began presenting a screen (see attached) requiring me to sign in to contine to Mozilla Thunderbird Email. At the top of the screen is a "Sign in with Google" line. However, there is nowhere to sign into anything. My correct email is displayed but no entry for a password.

Clicking "Next" takes you to an Error 400 screen. There is no "Close" button and the only way out of the screen is to hit "Esc," which takes me to my Email account. After a short bit, the screen refreshes back to that " sign in to contine to Mozilla Thunderbird" screen. After one or two more uses of :Esc, I can get back control of my laptop.

Meanwhile, Thunderbird is frozen--mail doesn't update, and any attempt to use T-Bird returns me to the sign in cycle. Win 11; TB ver, 128.2.3esr (32-bit); server security imap.gmail.com, port 993, outgoing server smtp.google.com, authentication OAuth2. I've accepted cookies and javascript and closed my VPN. can't figure what to do next.

When I right click on a document [Show More Options/Send To] Thunderbird email I get the following notice: There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs panel. I've been using TB for multiple years with zero problems, this started when I recently reloaded Windows 11 from scratch (due to a bot virus issue). I have reloaded TB 3 or 4 times. I have also tried creating an association to MapiMail which hosed my Send To link. I had to import a new Send To link from my wifes PC after restoring the registry entry for MapiMail. I have always used the 64 bit version, so the 32 bit version is not for me. I am out of ideas? Anybody else have this problem?

I was using Thunderbird for Windows 10 normally for many months. Recently, whenever I launch the app it immediately freezes, and I have to force quit the application. Reinstalling the app does not fix the issue. I haven't tried deleting my profiles yet, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

A couple of months ago Thunderbird started being very slow in multiple situations. I use POP3 and download all mails. I have fairly big mailboxes, some of them up to 2½ GB.

1) Downloading e-mails is slow.

But the worst is this one:

2) Clicking on unread mails first time. This can easily take 10 secs, where the app goes "not responding" and finally "Loading message...." With 10 new mails, it is a lot of wasted time.

3) Dragging mails from one mailbox to another Some of the same behaviour as above.

I have tried to compact mailboxes, but that doesn't help.

I am on release 128.4.1esr (32-bit), windows 10.

I have used Thunderbird for years without issue. In the last 2 days, it keeps crashing on one of my laptops (fine on the other). I sent a crash report, but I can't reopen Thunderbird. I tried both quitting and restarting. I shut down my computer and restarted it. I tried updating by downloading the latest version, but that didn't work either. I completely uninstalled it, reinstalled it, and it worked for a few hours. Now, it is back to the Crash Report.

Any suggestions? I love TB and don't want to switch to something else.

I've updated my MacBook from MacOS 14 to 15.1.1 and it seems to have broken CardBook 97.5. I've checked for updates to the add-ons. I'll get in touch with the developers as well. Has anyone else experienced this?

Thunderbird v128.4.3ser (32-bit) setup with 4 accounts: Shaw.ca (POP), Shaw.ca (IMAP), 2xGmail (OAuth2). The Shaw.ca (POP) account is the main one, and it stopped receiving email. Another (related?) issue is that Local Folders does not appear. The size of that one Inbox is 4.0GB, which I understand is a limit. I don't want to delete any of that email, but I'm fine with moving/archiving some of it. I moved a whack of it to an Archive folder, but the size of the Inbox and Archive folders don't change (4.0GB + 0.0GB). I have tried repairing and compacting. What can I do? I'm a technician/troubleshooter with many years of experience with Thunderbird ... I recommend it to all 6000 of my clients, because (until now) it is bulletproof.

Hi,

Starting less than a week ago Thunderbird has been running slowly. Sometimes it's quite noticeable and sometime not so much. E.g. clicking on a different folder sometimes happens immediately and sometimes takes maybe 4 sec. to display the folder. Clicking on a message sometimes displays it immediately but can take 7 or 8 secs. to display. Receiving messages seems normal and I haven't noticed slower speeds sending. Clicking on Reply for a message can take several seconds, and dragging a message to a different folder can do the same. Once I'm editing a message the edit speed is normal with no slow down and the address book and editing filters are both fast. I didn't make any changes to Thunderbird, this just started happening on it's own.

I'm running Thunderbird ver. 128.4esr (32-bit) on a windows 10 desktop PC using POP to access messages. I ran Compact on all the folders to no benefit. I don't know what else to try.

Please let me know how to correct this or figure out what's going on.

Thanks, Mike

Hey, im having some issues with Thunderbird recently.. Its been freezing and lagging for last two days, probably newest update causes that.. any other idea what could it be? Its happening on every device at my workplace. Mozilla team, fix it please. Thunderbird is our working tool.

What is meaning of the blue bar meter in the bottom right corner? It is stuck in half. After clicking on it the Activity Manager pops up, but with no actual info. If it brings some info about actual processing of data, it should display such info.

unable to use Thunderbird, try to open program and all I get is a white screen for 2-4 seconds, then a crash report pops up. Unable to get any further. Have uninstalled, cleared cache, reboot, then reinstall. Help appreciated. Win 10. Kevin
