Thunderbird Support Forum

Hi all,

Just upgraded to Thunderbird 115(from the last Non beta version).

I have multiple email accounts.

When I click to the inbox off one of my gmail accounts it does not display to the last message received. Thunderbird opens to a message about 1/4 up into my inbox.

I have a second gmail account and this behavior does not occur.

I'm sure its a easy fix, I just can't figure it out .

Hello,

I did a clean install windows 11 21H2, installed Thunderbird 102.1.1 and later 102.1.2 in the wizard i copyed my password and all the other info imap, after pressing ready checking password keeps on checking noting happens.

My password is correct and also all the other setting.

Must be a bug in the program.

Getting this message as of today when trying to connect to my Outlook/Microsoft Office 365 e-mail account. No change of password or any security settings were done. Googling for the error reveals plenty of other folks coming across it in Thunderbird but not one working fix. Plenty of TB blaming Microsoft and vice versa. IMAP access is still working on iOS so that does strongly suggest a Thunderbird side problem.

Please no "switch to a different email provider" proposed solutions that isn't helpful.

The message field is too narrow for all messages, except pure text messages. A screenshot is attached. How can I modify the userChrome.css so that all available space gets used?

I can't send emails out of Thunderbird but can receive them, not sure what to do? Is there a phone number I can call with Thunderbird for help? I'm not that savvy with all this.

I am at a clomplete loss here and after hours of googling and frustration I just need someone who can help.

- I purged all installation folders and paths, deleted profile and reinstalled Thunderbird 115.1.1 on absolutely (!) clean sheet, it is dead on and I inspected all versions and folders.

- I hoped that the version fixes my login issues, but if anything, they're worse and the logins don't last nearly as long as they used to.

- I am aware of the imap, smtp and tls configuration

- I am aware of the settings in gmail, also tried all combinations of oauth2, less secure apps, app password, I tried all of that

- tried enabling javascript manually, cookies, checking all local browsers, especially firefox browser and legacy IE options for anything that could be wrong

- I can set up and add my gmail accounts, usually once upon install. It will then work with no issue, receives and sends mails, loads all sub folders. It just won't stay.

- I can go to account/privacy and view and edit my passwords. I can enter the correct password there and the account itself works and loads mail. If I close and re-open TB, it's still fine. On the 4-5th time of opening and closing, it locks up and starts promting for sign in.

- I get logged out of one or multiple accounts and get promts to sign back in. These login page windows then cannot be interacted with, at all. They are not displayed correctly, the buttons are just dead and do not react or lead anywhere if I click. Some do the little brightness animation and recognize that I clicked, but nothing continues. I have no ability to enter or submit the gmail credentials in there.

- I tried navigating those with on-screen keyboard, CTRL +, also with scroll wheel etc., it cannot be resized or interacted with. Also changing the window and screen scaling size (100%/150%) does nothing, I also checked all actual browsers like firefox and chrome and they all have normal zoom, cache and cookie settings. Why is the login page not usable?

I know it would probably be fine after reinstall but I just cannot keep doing this. It does not last even a week. I even deleted the profile and re-setup everything several times already, it still comes up with login pages all the time. And if those are not usable then I cannot go forward.

This is all on a fresh Lenovo Thinkbook G15 that is nearly new. I have never seen software not work this vehemently. I have given all info that I have and all that I tried. Can someone please advise, I don't understand it anymore.

After an update yesterday, thunderbird v104.2 opens up as a blank window. The menus show up and it seems to download messages, but I'm unable to see any folders or messages. I've tried deleting the "global..." file, I've uninstalled and reinstalled an older version, and nothing is working for me. I've read other threads about this issue and tried the solutions, but have not found one that works for me. I'd appreciate any new ideas. I'm running on Windows10 thanks

Start new Windows session. Start Thunderbird and works OK. Shut Thunderbird down and try to re-start during same Windows session and it will not launch. Reboot Windows and try to start Thunderbird and works OK. Alternatively, going into Task Manager there will be a number of Thunderbird processes running. If I manually end them all (while Thunderbird is NOT active) then I can restart as normal too. This all began with 124.0 Beta 1. Never had the issue prior.

Also, Thunderbird crashes if restarting within the app. By this I mean clicking the X it appears to close (excepting those persistent processes running) but "Restart Thunderbird" such as to launch Troubleshooting mode or from the "Restart to update Thunderbird" config crashes the app with 100% consistency.

I was on Thunderbird this AM with no issues until it did the 102.2.0 update. Now I cannot get into any e-mail account (AOL & GMAIL). Getting this message:

The server does not support the selected authentication method. Please change the 'Authentication method' in the 'Account Settings | Server settings'.''

All Security is set as the attached graphic and worked perfectly before this update

Please advise & thank you

I keep several email tabs open that have topics I am currently working on with clients. Recently they have been turning blank, so I have no idea what they are--I feel I have lost info that I need to do business. Why do they turn blank? I need this fixed ASAP!

Hello, I upgraded this morning TB to the latest version 102.13.0 but my account on office 365 is not working properly. I cannot forward messages anymore and the messages that I send have no content.

I am using Exquilla for Microsoft exchange and there is something definitely wrong since the upgrade was done.

Can you support urgently?

Best regards,

Fadi

I use compuserve.com (part of AOL) and Yahoo.com on Thunderbird. All are owned by the same company as far as I know. This morning Thunderbird reports compuserve server wrong authentication type, TB is set to OAuth2 which is correct and has been working. If I access the AOL/compuserve site directly through Firefox there is no problem. The yahoo account works just fine. I don't know how to tell where the issue is. Any thoughts?

Unable to start -> Side-by side configuration error message Unable to uninstall -> Another Message says there is an unfinished thunderbird update, must restart pc. after restart, no update starts. back to the same situation. Unable to Re-Install -> Downloaded Installer, but installation gives the same "unfinished update error"

I already copied the "Thunderbird" Folder from the "AppData/Roaming" Folder. Is this the correct Data Backup so I don't loose my emails?

Please help.

When trying to send an email, I received an error message saying that my incoming and outgoing email in settings must match. They do! Still cannot send an email. My ISP says the problem is on your end - something to do with the routing after thunderbird was updated. They said quite a few people are having the same issue. Please fix this!

My email is not receiving and cannot send emails. A message shows up saying that the server has been disconnected. How can someone who has no computer expertise fix this problem. My business emails come to this email. Should we get rid of it completely? We Need Help Fast. I've been posting messages but nobody has responded yet. Im not very familiar with this system and we Need Help ASAP! Please Help!!!

Since upgrading to version 115.8.1 I get unable to write email to mailbox . I have three email addresses in my profile. All are POP. One (from yahoo) always hangs and the other two fail intermittently. OS is Windows 10 64-bit at 22H2 level It doesn't matter if Zonealarm is turned on or off. I have over 300GB of free space on disk.

Full error message: Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

I successfully sent my last email on 26Oct21. Ever since,I cannot send email. I get the following message when I try to send: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.shaw.ca failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

I have tried everything suggested on this forum and other online help sites. One source suggested trying to ping my email server,and that failed as well. I tried temporarily reducing the TLS to 1.1,but that didn't help. I tried temporarily disabling my Windows antivirus and firewall,but that didn't work. I am at a loss on how to proceed,and am planning to take my desktop to a local computer repair shop to see if they can figure it out. Can you suggest anything that might help? Thanks very much!

Since installing Supernova, I find a huge (multiple minute) delay whenever I open a folder to a new tab or window. There was zero delay on the prior version to open a folder, so it appears to be specific to Supernova. I'm surprised that no one else has mentioned it on the forums yet, so it seems it might just be something about my particular setup. Can anyone help me diagnose what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

I noticed yesterday that when I tried to send a mail to myself that it did not arrive in the Inbox of either Thunderbird or that of the Inbox of the webmail of my ISP which is Proximus in Belgium. The mail is correctly copied to the sent folder where it can be viewed without a problem. There are no visible error messages displayed.

I use two identities and it is my identity, which is the default one, that has the problems. My wife’s identity-address can still mail to itself without problems. I have contacted a few regular recipients and they mention that the last mail from my address was around 10 days ago. Mails destined for them have been sent since then but have not reached their destination …

I have tried the Troubleshoot mode and clearing the cache without success in sending a mail to the same default identity-sending address.

I use Bitdefender Total security and the firewall allows access to thunderbird.exe regularly. Details of the Thunderbird release, the SMTP server and add-ons are shown in the screen prints attached.

Other suggestions ?

Thanks in advance Peter
