Thunderbird Support Forum

We have different email accounts that we use on various devices. One account (which used to work), will now not send from my mac. The other accounts send from this mac and I can send from the problem account on my android phone and ipad. It also works fine if I log in to gmail's website.

The problem account receives emails fine.

It says that my password is wrong, but I've tried many times to put in the correct password but nothing changes. I've even tried changing the password but still the same outcome.

It used to work fine and then one day just decided it didn't want to anymore. The only way round it is to save it to drafts and then send it on another device.

I'm using Thunderbird 78.14.0 (64-bit) which my about says is up to date. The problem computer is Mac OS 10.9.5. Yes I know it's old, but as I say the other accounts run fine.

If anyone can suggest something to try can you please write in laymans terms.

Thank you.

Bonjour Depuis deux mois, tous les mails à destination de orange.fr et laposte.net reviennent non distribués Auriez-vous une explication ? Merci

I am new on Ubuntu and on Thunderbird to which I moved. Before I used Pegasus under Windows.

With Pegasus, I got the possibility, when sending a mail, to direct the mail to a folder/sub-folder of my choice.

I tried several options in Thunderbird > Account > Copies & Folders. I was not successful.

How must I proceed ? Thank you.

Dear all, I have a couple of calendars on the disk as network calendars (file:///...ics) with offline support, and I just realized that I cannot delete any event. These calendars are not read-only, I can see the option delete, both with right-click on the event and double-click to edit the event, but after pressing delete, the event remains on the calendar. Just pressing the delete button on the keyboard after selecting the event has the same behaviour. If I try shift the events from one calendar to the other, they do appear in the new calendar, but they do not disappear from the old. I have restarted Thunderbird, and also tried this on another computer with the same results. Both szstems are Windows 11, Th underbird 115.10.1 I would be very grateful for any suggestions

Hi,

Is customizing alert sounds for different contacts possible for Thunderbird 115.6.1? I see a couple of add-ons, but none seem to work with this version.

Thanks

I have a number of e-mail addresses with a single provider. I want to set up TB on Linux Mint 21.1 so that all addresses work incoming and outgoing. Do I have to set each one up separately or can I set up the incoming and outgoing server details once and add all the addresses to that account. Thank you.

Cheers,

Jim K.

Hi,

I use a siteground server and whenever I add a new account, TB recognizes the settings but when I click "Next" to finalize the process, it never completes.

If I try to configure it manually, I get an error saying "incoming server already exists."

To fix the problem, I have to exit TB and manually edit the profile file.

I end up adding:

user_pref("mail.account.accountXX.identities", "idXX"); user_pref("mail.account.accountXX.server", "serverXX");

Then I make a copy of another account's

user_pref("mail.identity.idXX.XXX"

settings and make them fit the new account.

As you can guess, it's pretty tedious and annoying but I don't understand why this happens.

Any ideas?

Dear Thunderbird When we were running Outlook on Windows XP, we could have the following statement: mailto:kontor@radioringkobing.dk, and it would send a mail through Outlook Now we are running Thunderbird on Windows 10, and this feature don't work. We have a costum built program to adresse our members. if we have to use Thunderbird one mail at a time, instead of a bulk job, it will take oceans of time. Best regards Anton Andersen Radio Ringkøbing

Unable to send email from Mozilla Thunderbird Problem has been worked over days, good ideas have come in via this portal, all workable ones did not change the fact: email can not be sent Our server: acsalaska.net after contacting, went over our account, all is well on their end, it must then be Mozilla Thunderbird that holds the key Thanks for your input

Hi Not sure if this is the right place to ask. I am using Thunderbird for my email program I have it pinned to the taskbar at the bottom of my computer screen. I was wondering if there is a way that when I have the mail screen open and I open another screen like Settings, or Account Settings, if they can be shown separately on the task bar, and not combing so only the tab I have open is showing. That way I can flip between each one a lot easier than clicking on the one showing and then having to select the next tab in the actual program itself. Thanks Marc

Hello, I have NEVER had problems with [Currently using:Thunderbird 60.9.1 (32-bit). Can I update to current Thunderbird with no problems?] Or - simply NOT fool around and stay with the above version?

Thank you, P. Mitchell

I got a new PC and set my accounts up but forgot to transfer over my address book, so I did that yesterday. When I went to the Local Folders (now called little blue filing cabinet) a whole bunch of folders had appeared that weren't there before. Most of them allowed me to delete them, but after closing Thunderbird and going back in, all the files again appeared. Does anyone have an idea how I can make them go away?! Any advice would be gratefully received. Lesley

Hello again...This is a repeat of my earlier problem, but I sent the wrong image. Just to keep the thread, I added a previous image. Last error was referring to a bad rendering of my Manitoba Hydro online Bill... Now, how can I remit payment with this image??? progeny was "from mi06-ssvc.dcs.int.inet (LHLO mi06.dcs.int.inet) (10.0.141.211) by cds226.dcs.int.inet with LMTP; Wed, 16 Nov 2022 09:51:30 -0700 (MST)... see attached images.

I made the mistake up upgrading to the latest beta, not realizing it would convert my datafile to a different format and you can't go backward. I have done recovery over the years, but all the help refers to the old formats. Opening TB just causes it to hang. I have a large thunderbird file with a lot of files. I thought maybe a folder that I use a lot was too large so I tried splitting it in 2 but it has been unable to sync those since I moved them. Instead my whole computer hung and it turned out 400+MB was being taken by a folder which gets created when a folder can't finish compressing, but I had no choice but to delete that because my computer wouldn't function. In the past when a folder wasn't working right I would delete the folder index file and it would rebuilt the index and re-built that folder. Now all of my folders have mozmsgs but only some have sbd's. And the new folder isn't even there, although it's showing in my TB app when it opens.

I need to know what types of files I should delete in order to have my folders re-sync to the server.

Thanks!
