Thunderbird Community Forum

I had a problem where emails from two months ago were empty meaning that when I click to open them, they contain nothing. I tried using the Repair Folder tool. Now, almost all of the emails in my inbox have been deleted. Unfortunately, I did not back up the folder. Any way to get these back? Is this expected action when using the Repair Folder tool?

Thank you

I was setting up my new email account on thunderbird and I was facing some issue, so to solve the issue I set up the account without entering the password, but later when TB is asking for the password and I am entering the password then TB is not accepting it, it is only showing that "Login to server imap.gmail.com with username 23je0520@iitism.ac.in failed".

please fix this problem.

I have a recurring but random problem when I reply to an email with a distribution list. TB seems to select an email address from the CC addresses on the original email rather than my mailbox address. example - mail received from user A with copy to B C D E. I reply to all and sometimes the sender address used by the system is one of the CC addresses (ie B C D or E). All users are getting the message but they think it was sent by somebody else. This could be a sensitive problem if I was making a report and then wondered why there was no follow up. Is there a setting somewhere that decides which sender address I use? I use two accounts, one is my internet provider (BT) and the other is Gmail. So far, I have only been advised of Gmail errors. Thanks in advance.

I'm a newbie to Thunderbird. I've added an existing email account to Thunderbird, but it displays the emails with the oldest on top. How do I setup the Thunderbird app to display the most recent emails on top?

My aol.com IMAP is used directly only for travel. The same email address serves my Thunderbird POP email. Currently, ALL incoming mail goes to the AOL server. I cannot see the messages nor answer them on the local system. I store nothing on the AOL server. How can I get the incoming mail to the local email tool?

Any work-arounds?

I recently have successfully changed, via my browser, the password of one of my Yahoo! accounts. Now, when I use my Thunderbird app, which collects my emails from many different accounts - including the Yahoo account - Thunderbird can no longer access my Yahoo! mail for the simple reason it still uses the old Yahoo! account password that had to be replaced. How can I get Tbird to know about the password change?

When I try to get my emails from gmail, message says there is error with certificate - see snip. I click on "confirm security exception" but it doesn't help. Still no emails. This has only just started in the last week or so. Originally emails would come through after accepting the certificate but now no emails can be sent or received. Help appreciated.

Server disconnects ONLY when attempting to open the"SENT" file. Have two accounts on Thunderbird with identical settings (email1 and email2). One works fine and the other disconnects only when I attempt to open the "SENT" folder. Have several months of sent emails that will not download.

Hello there! I was in my Address Book and i was handling a sub-list of contacts. While i was in that list i pressed "delete" list but instead of deleting this sub-list, deleted all the basic list with my contacts... How can i restore that? I checked also in my Yahoo Mail and the contacts are also gone from there... I use IMAP, maybe that's the reason...

I use Thunderbird 1:115.11.0-1~deb10u1 in Linux Debian

Greetings: This is the third time that I am contacting you about not being able to receive any e-mails. Thunderbird is the only one that I use and haven't been able to receive any new e-mails for the past week or so. You notified me that my account had been compromised or words to that effect, and that I needed to create a new password. I did this(with a bit of difficulty) and still have no new e-mails coming in to this account. I did try to SEND an e-mail out, and at first it stopped me for my NEW password. I gave it, and it then allowed the e-mail to go out just fine. I sent one or two more since then and they too seemed to have worked fine. For some unknown reason though, I STILL am NOT receiving any new e-mails. Can you please help me with this problem? NOTE: As I am STILL NOT able to receive any e-mails, would it be possible for you to send me any possible solution for this problem via my regular USPS mailing address? David Beard [removed address info from public support forum] Thanks much for any help you can supply.

Can't send Yahoo Mail. Was working fine until this afternoon. Getting error: Login to server smpt.mail.yahoo.com with username xxxx@yahoo.com failed. Using Thunderbird 115.11.1 (32-bit). Can someone help? Thanks!
