Thunderbird Support Forum

This is the message I get when trying to send emails: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: pgbentley101@gmail.com recipient rejected. Please check the message recipient "pgbentley101@gmail.com" and try again."

Title. Thunderbird is a really cool client but it's pretty slow. I blame that on the thousands upon thousands of emails that my hotmail and gmail each hold. I don't necessarily want to delete these emails, but I have seldom a reason to have any email older than 2 months in my thunderbird client slowing and crashing the program whenever I want to combine inboxes.

To this end I went to "Synchronization & Storage" and told it to "Synchronize the most recent 2 months" but it didn't delete the huge cluster of older emails. The next option is to tell TB to delete these emails in the same menu but as I understand it that would also delete them in the server, which I don't want to do for posteriority.

What do I do?

Hi guys

Can anyboby help with this ? I'm no computer wizz but I can't be the only one with this problem. My email is Microsoft 365 provided by BT which now uses " modern authentication " How do I get Thunderbird to work with this please ?

Unable to email GMail accounts. Error below:

Gmail requires all senders to authenticate with either SPF or DKIM

After some basic research, it was suggested that the Outgoing Server should be set to Oath2 but I am unable to change this.

Since latest update i can not remove email threading, i have tried the VIEW route no option there, i have gone into settings and changed it that way yet still emails are threading, how can i remove this?

When trying to sign messages with thunderbir on debian mails won't deliver.

If they are not signed, it will send smoothly even if they are encrypted.

I would like my response to e mail to start at top of thread not bottom. Help searches tell me to go to Account settings -composition & addressing - "authenticate quote" my version (V 115.7.0) does not have this option.

Problems with Thunderbird showing a lot of old emails when reciving new emails. Was not a problem before reinstalling Thunderbird after rebooting PC.

How do I erase all these old emails ?

B.r. John Ekman john.ekman@mail.dk

We have had a longstanding intermittent problem that is gradually getting worse. When sending emails the outgoing SMTP sending happens quickly, but there are massive delays in saving the sent message to IMAP folders.

Often it can take well over 1minute to save a message and quite often it does not save at all eventually we get a timeout with the error "Your message has been sent but a copy cannot be saved".

I appreciate there is the option to save to a local folder but it is a real pain to have to use this all the time.

This delays are happening across several different email accounts hosted with more than one ISP and whilst it is an intermittent problem it is occurring more than 50% of the time across multiple PCs.

Note: We use the option "Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to". However, the problem also arises with new outgoing messages that are not replies that would just be saved in the "Sent" folder.

We are using Thunderbird 115.1.1 (64-bit) running on Windows desktop PCs and laptops.

I have contacted the ISPs concerned but they think it is nothing to do with them and suggest it is an issue with Thunderbird.

I see this has been reported by other Thunderbird users, but the help resposes do not seem to offer a definitive solution. If it really is a problem with the ISP's IMAP hosting, please advise how I can gather evidence to convince the ISPs that they have a server problem. Our broadband speed is good and there are no significant delays with any other internet activity. Thanks.

Tunderbird makes no connection with any mail server. Does not ask for passwords, even when they were removed from store. Sending an e-mail results in: Verzenden van het bericht is mislukt. Er is een fout opgetreden bij het verzenden van e-mail: fout met uitgaande (SMTP-)server. De server antwoordde: Cannot connect to SMTP server 195.121.65.26 (195.121.65.26:587), connect error 10060. OS: Windows 11; VPN: NordVPN.

I set up a new computer, windows 11, and downloaded the latest version of Thunderbird. On the old computer the spam filter works normal, on the new computer Thunderbird puts a lot of normal mail in the spam folder. Is there a way to set the spam filter to not flag so many emails. I use gmail for my mail server. My iphone also uses the same gmail account and does not filter these messages

I can't sign in to my email with thunderbird. I can't get any email. It has worked flawlessly till now. I don't know how you can tell me anything since I can't get email.

I have an AOL mail account, which I access using Thunderbird., and get 1000s of mostly promotional emails I want to delete. To mass-delete them, I use the following process: 1) sort by correspondent - this helps group the numerous promotional emails together as many are from the same senders; e.g: the 1,000 emails from ACME-JUNQUE will all be grouped together, followed by 500 from ACME-KUNQUE, followed by 900 from ACME-LUNQUE etc. 2) using the left-click then control-shift method I then highlight all or most of ACME-JUNK's emails and possibly also those of ACME-KUNQUE, depending how many I want to try to delete at once. 3) I then right-click and choose "delete selected messages". The actual deletion process that follows can take some time depending on how many emails I've selected to delete.

BUT - I then find that not all were deleted; I can see this easily when I look at the inbox counter. This seems to depend on the quantity. I can delete maybe up to a few hundred at once but beyond that they don't seem to get deleted. It's as if Thunderbird (or the AOL service) can only handle so many at once and the rest fall of the list. I will try to do some tests to quantify this - but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this, and if so, is there a useful workaround? thank you
