Thunderbird Community Forum

I have Thunderbird on another PC that shows the incoming emails with the contents with the contents displayed under the email list, yet on my new PC I cannot seem to get that setting. I have to double click an email and it opens a new tab. I have used your help and also YouTube to no avail.

I've tried setting up Thunderbird archiving according to the documentation to save archived messages locally, and in the same hierarchy they had when I archived them. That is, if I have:

INBOX

   Box1
   Box2

... etc. then archiving would create a parallel structure in Local Folders

However, this isn't working.

I select "Keep message archives in Other (Archives on Local Folders).

For "Archive Options" I select "A single folder", "Keep existing folder structure of archived messages" and "Recreate inbox folder".

However, when I archive something, Thunderbird just creates a folder "2026" (this year) and puts the message in there.

Why are my settings NOT working?

After the last update when trying to send email I get the warrning of app: errer with "smtp.gmail.com". Any idea on how to fix it? Thank you for your help.

I have a SoGO email account through my educational institution. I configured the new account in Thunderbird just as I did with my other email accounts (which are all functioning well). My SoGO email was verified to be working, and I was able to receive new emails and also search my old emails. However, when I try to send emails, I come up with a Send Message Error that says Authentication required. I have checked the email address, the Outgoing Server, the authentication methods, and the server settings, and I can find nothing that is wrong. I am still able to send emails from the other accounts, and I am able to get incoming emails to the SoGO account, I just can't send them.

Hi, I' ve been using Thunderbird for years with no problems, but the other day my servier changed their settings and now Thunderbird won't recieve any of e-mails. They sent me settings and finally I figured out them to work on my phone, but not on Thunderbird. The new serivcers address is "ny201.whpservers.com" and the incoming port is 995 and the outgoing port is 465. I used the same settings that I used for my phone, but they won't work on Thunderbird. I'm supose to use SSL for incoming/outgoing messages and when I use testing connection to server I get a message of "The certificate for mail.dostie.net:995 is not valid for that server. Someone could be trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue." Can you please provide help to resolve this issue.

Thank you Donald Dostie

It's been almost a week now, and my 2 Microsoft email accounts will not connect to Thunderbird anymore. All was fine for years, but something changed that I can't figure out!?! I have gone to my Microsoft email server and checked that my passwords still work. I even updated one and it works on Microsoft server but not Thunderbird's!?!? I even deleted one email account from Thunder bird to re-install it, but when I tried a fresh re-install Thunderbird still won't connect to Microsoft server??? I'm at my wits end, and may abandon Thunderbird completely if someone there doesn't help me connect!!!

The attached message pops up when in coming mail is coming in, not anything gong out. How can I fix this. See attached image. I have checked my sent messages..nothing shows up..I have checked my out box in local folders still nothing shows up

I lost my windows 11 computer, and need to restore all my missing Local folders in my new computer that I have just installed Thunderbird. I think I need to delete everything under c:\user\myname\appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird\*. Tried this and still no Local stored emails found when I brought up Thunderbird? I have years of data stored there and really need them.

Dear Team, I have to download approximately 9000 emails in the inbox/ sent folders saved in yahoo with attachments. Though I could download after spending a week, unable to see the downloaded messages. Please inform how to proceed. Thanks. p.s: As suggested by chatgpt, I selected all messages in both the folders and downloaded them again. Please suggest best way to download the messages quickly and verify the contents. Thanks for your help. -Mani

RE: How to turn OFF message preview when I single-click on message?

When in TB message list, and selecting a message for an operation by making a single-click on the message, the selected message opens. When using CNTL key to select several messages together for an operation, each of the messages opens an individual preview pane. I have searched TB's knowledgebase, but apparently no other users have this problem.

the new "experimental" account center doesn't work (version 150.0) how can I go back to the precedent account creation tool ? the option "experimental account center" is NOT checked, but I still have only the new creation account form.

Greetings!

I am a lone software developer in my own office.

I do not store my passwords. I type them in every time I log in. It's the only way to remember passwords: type them in every time to reinforce memory.

I want to see my passwords when I type them. I don't want a click option to view them. I want to be able to see what I'm typing every time all the time.

I've been a contributor for a number of years. Please create an option to support my request.

If you need me to program the change, please let me know.  :-) I suspect that it is simply a matter of turning off a property on the entry field. This is my third request.

Cheers, Peter Petropoulos

So I have gone through many of the suggested actions in removing an email account from Thunderbird. It keeps asking for a password for an email account I no longer use. It was a gmail account. I have removed calendar reminders. I have gone to the profiles. It is not listed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird. But Every time I open the program and several times while using. It asks me for the password. How do I remove this?
