I've been using Thunderbird on Windows 10 since last year sometime. Currently I'm on version 151.0.1.

I've 4 x mailboxes here and since yesterday, 3 of them show me an unusual message when checking for emails. I tried attaching a screenshot but although the screenshot uploaded, I couldn't find a way to insert it here. But the message says Unable to write the email to the mailbox and asks me to check if I've write privileges (which I have) and to cheek the available disk space.(currently 101GB free).

The message is happening 2 or 3 times each day and lasts for about half an hour, then everything works fine again. Has anyone else seen this??

Hello,

I can't receive any of my e-mails. I can send e-mails out now. Plus I can put in my password to log into my e-mail.  This has been a headache for me, I have been with Thunder Bird for years.

I also get a boxes that says : Unable to write the email to the mailbox. It says to make sure the file system allows me to write privileges, and I have enough disk space to copy the mailbox. I have enough space on my computer system and all. Another box that says my e-mail is being processed. Please wait until processing is complete to get messages. I did e-mail you yesterday on these issues. As I said I can e-mail messages out now also log into my e-mail with my password. Thanks, Chris

My Yahoo account on Thunderbird sees no email found.

My eMail Providers: Yahoo, AOL, Gmail.

AOL and Gmail(2 accounts) work fine. Only Yahoo doesn't respond. As you can see in the attached screen shot, it shows a "No Messages Found" message.

I have tried everything listed in the support page.

I'm sure it is something simple but I can't see it.

To whom it concerns, It just happened yesterday June 11,2026. I put in my password to my e-mail to open it and it stated that my e-mail account is being processed. Said to wait until processing is complete to get messages. I have never had this issue, I been with Thunder Bird e-mail for years. It isn't even showing my e-mails that I had in my inbox on my e-mail. If you can please help, I need my e-mail up and going. Thank you, Chris Note, it also said that Thunder Bird had crashed in a box, they wanted to know what page I was on. I am not understanding this.

Já há dois dias que eu não consigo receber e nem enviar emails e já tentei de tudo, já até desinstalei o Thunderbird e reinstalei e nada... Uso o computador e tenho outras contas, mas só a conta do sapo que tenho(marcaomulder@sapo.pt) é que está a dar problemas... Já nesta conta, se eu acesso o servidor(sapo.pt) está tudo a funcionar correctamente, sendo portanto o problema desta conta no thunderbird! Estou a contar com a vossa ajuda, pelo que muito vos agradeço!

  • Já agora neste momento, depois que reinstalei o thunderbird, ainda não consegui reinstalar a minha conta: marcaomulder@sapo.pt

Cumprimentos!

I think I've tried everything to figure out why Thunderbird will not send emails.

Yes there was an update the last week of May to version 140.11.1esr (64-bit).

Yes the incoming and outgoing mail server info gibes with my ISP (Shaw) - added pix

Yes have done the necessary adjustments to Windows Defender and Firewall.

Yes I have increased mail.news.tcptimeout because occasionally have received message that "Outgoing server

  • SMTP" mail.shaw.ca timed out. Try again. Yes I have indeed tried again.

Yes I have called Shaw and they will not offer any suggestions because TB is a third-party.

What's left to try? A version reversion? Thunderbird has been so stable for so long. I even considered Betterbird but it uses the same profile so............

Thanks.

My email provider provides "Disposable Email Addresses" - aliases which still direct mail to my inbox but don't expose my primary email to any web sites etc. I provide them to. It's very handy for registering for mailing lists, product vendors etc. since if one gets leaked, it's no big deal. I can drop the email again, but at least I know who was responsible for leaking it (I still get spam to my old Myspace account). My problem is that I'll occasionally have a need to reply such an email, and by default my From: address is my primary email address, not the one in the To: header. This is confusing to the recipient (since it's from some unknown email) and also exposes my email unintentionally. Is there any way to configure Thunderbird to always reply using the To: address? If there are multiple To: or CC: addresses, it could perhaps be specified with a wildcard matching any of my aliases. I can do it with Identities, I know, but I have to set that up before replying and I frequently forget.

Hi I am Unable to send e-mails (only receive) after adding a 3rd account to my thunderbird, a microsoft e-mail (the other 2 are gmx and my old work e-mail). This is my private laptop. I tried tons of troubleshootings incl. deleting passwords, triple checking all settings (they are all correct), but I always get a pop up with "Login to server smtp.office365.com with username ... failed" when trying to send an e-mail. When I click on enter new password it just tries to send the e-mail again, which fails, so unable to enter anything.

Hello, I face a problem with my email provider. I received an email and I can see 2 dates-hours in the emails platform of my provider (coprmail Cosmote, Athens, Greece). Specifically, 111:24 am and 12:06 pm. In Thunderbird, for the same email account, the column Date shows the value 12:06 pm. This caused other problem. In search I made, in the emails platform of my provider, for the same email, I have 11:24 am and in the preview window of the body of the email shows 12:06 pm. In my question to the provider, why this happened, I received the answer that the message received at their email server at 11:24 am, and the other date, 12:06 pm is the hour that the sender sent the email. I can understand that the PC of the sender could had wrong date+hour, but what is happend with thunderbird? So, my question to the community is: In the table list of emails in Thunderbird, the column Date what does it mean? I am waiting for receiving your reply.

Hi

I have set up Thunderbird with a Zimbra mail serveur (Zimbra serveur 10.1.10_GA_4785) using the EWS new feature of Thunderbird.

I can setup the EWS account. The test of the secured connection to the server is returned valid. But in the mailbox, the list of folder is empty, and I see no email. Interestingly, I can successfully send email from this thunderbird using the exchange server as sending server.

To resume, no emails are received, but sending emails works.

So, I check the request to the exchange server when starting a synchronization : Here the result : Request : <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"><soap:Header><t:RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2010_SP2"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><GetFolder xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"><FolderShape><t:BaseShape>IdOnly</t:BaseShape></FolderShape><FolderIds><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="msgfolderroot"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="inbox"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="deleteditems"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="drafts"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="outbox"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="sentitems"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="junkemail"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="archive"/></FolderIds></GetFolder></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

I have a desktop that is windows 10. I use Mozilla for four email accounts, 3 of my accounts work fine. My problem is with TWC. Emails sent/forward and cant save drafts often fail. When I sign into spectrum webmail, my Mozilla TWC account works again for a while. This started about 2 weeks ago. I'm using version firefox version 151.0.2. I've eliminated Spectrum as being the issue and all my settings are correct. Thoughts?

I received a spam message this morning that had a "Disposition-Notification-To" (aka Read Receipt) line that had MY email address on it. I honestly don't know why a spammer would do this - but that's not the issue. I have Read Receipts disabled, but Thunderbird generated an email (to me) and sent it to my mail host. This seems like a bug. Even if the Read Receipt has my email address on it (making it mostly harmless), Thunderbird shouldn't have generated the message. Or am I missing something? Thanks.
