Thunderbird Support Forum

I'm trying to send a reply e-mail and I get this message. "Sending of the message failed. A certificate that is not yet valid was used to issue the server's certificate. The configuration related to smtp.gmail.commust be corrected." What must I do or what can I do?

I can't find this info anywhere. I had three email addresses. I made several subfolders for saving certain emails under the LOCAL folder. Then I added a couple new emails. All those newer emails addresses are below my local folder (which contains lots of subfolders.) I would just like to move UP my email folders so they are all in a line and I can check all the emails while the LOCAL folder and its subfolders is at the bottom of the list. Does this make sense? I have tried moving it and nothing happens. I guess the word I'm looking for is REORDER. I want to reorder my folders. Thank you. (I collapsed everything to make it easier to see in the picture.)

Been on Thunderbird for about 3 weeks, then didn't open for about a week. Version 115.6.1. When I try to get messages, it gets stuck at downloading 1 of 684, eventually quits. How to fix?

Hey, I would like to move my thunderbird profile (including all the old emails) from my old PC to a new MacBook. Before I buy the MacBook, I would like to verify that this is indeed feasible. I have migrated my Thunderbird profile from PC to PC and found it very intuitive. Is it essentially the same process for migrating the profile from PC to the MacBook? I assume the folder would be slight different but there will no not be a conflict due to the data format, right? I would be grateful for a brief confirmation / some advise. Thank you! Simon

I need someone in Tallahassee, Fl, to help me with my account. Is there anyone who understands and can help me with my existing account that needs straightening out. I would like personal assistance.

Hello, I moved Thunderbird data to a new computer according to your instructions via a USB drive On the target computer everything goes well until point 9 of your instructions. "Choose to replace your current data when prompted." However, this screen does not appear. I open Thunderbird, but then only the screen to enter the email data appears. So Thunderbird does not open with complete data. What do I do? I'm wrong.

Suddenly I can not receive my emails on Thunderbird. They do show up on my cell phone. When I send an email, I get the following, "Your message was sent, but a copy was not placed in your Sent folder due to network or file access errors. What can I do?? Ed PS I will get your email response on my cell phone, thank you.

I have been using Thunderbird on my PC's for at least 8 years. It has been reliable and easy to set up for use with multiple acccounts. However, in the last couple of weeks it keeps freezing up and the header bar tells me it is "not responding". I have tried closing and reopening the program & restarting my computer, no joy. I wonder if there was an update recently which caused this sudden bug? My current version is 115.6.1

Had to wipe old Win 11 due to corruption. When setting up from scratch, I use 3 gmail accounts. However when I downloaded Tbird, trying to set up myt 3 gmail accounts, Gmail will NOT authorize Tbird. I have tried all advice that I've seen on forums and on YouTubes. None work. Contacting Gmail is impossible. Forums are not providing any solutions. Does anyone have a proven fix? I appreciate your help. Thank you.

Clearing the "Recent" list when attempting to move emails used to be simple. Go to your profile while Thunderbird is NOT running and delete the panacea.dat file. It's no longer there. The only threads in the support forum suggest the same thing, but the threads are EIGHT years old. Where is the list of entries for the "Recents" folder located and how do I reset it. I have more than 20 entries, most of which I've used only ONCE. How to I clear this mess?

As of today, I can no longer send or receive emails in Thunderbird. No settings were changed. I checked and everything is set up the way it should be. Bluehost also confirmed it all looks good.

SO WHY DID THUNDERBIRD DECIDE TO STOP WORKING TODAY? Fortunately I can still get the email within Webmail, but I prefer not to do that, since all my folders aren't set up there. Any ideas what caused this and more importantly, how can I fix it? I do have the latest version of TB.

The images show that it just sits there for a long time trying to send and then the other shows the resulting error message.

Hello,

I run a. Thunderbird v 78.14.0 (64-bit) on a Macbook Pro 13"mid 2012 with Mac OS 10.10.5 (Yosemite) b. Thunderbird v 115.5.1 (64-bit) on a Macbook Pro 15" mid 2012 with macOS 10.15.7 (Catalina)

How do I make happen, that I sync the calendars in both Thunderbirds constantly, i.o.w. instantly (like for example the iMAP emails do)??

I find the option for new calendars: "On the network" ... Which network is here meant??? In the help there is not much info about it. I am not using and will not use Google or any kind of "social media" (!)

Can I use my own homepage host (which has some webspace left) in order to sync? Or for example an online storage like mega.nz ?

Or could the both macs just sync the thunderbird calendars just via WiFi/WLAN directly (AirDrop ?) or via Bluetooth ??

It would be so great if calendar sync would be as easy as the emails do!

Thanks for you advice!

Best wishes, Thomas

I'm not sure where to put this post. Sorry.

I don't have a lot of internal hard drive space and want to have Thunderbird store emails to an external hard drive. So, I have a few questions about this.

Q1: How do I do this? I saw a procedure on a non-Mozilla site and it seemed questionable to me. So I thought it would be best to get the procedure from here

Q2: When I move the files (not copying them) will this impact the emails online (Gmail and Yahoo)? I don't want to accidentally delete them from the server

Q3: I am concerned about the following scenario: I tell Thunderbird to use the external drive. Thunderbird starts to download emails to the external drive. What happens to the emails that are on the internal drive? does Thunderbird move them to the external drive? Or will I have to move them manually? Can I safely move email folders on top of folders of the same name without messing anything up? (I'm concerned that Thunderbird would not know that a previously downloaded folder exists and would start to download it in the new spot. So when I move the folders from the old spot to the new spot, it would overlay the new copy and I don't want that to mess anything up)

I hope my questions make sense. I'm not always clear about how I ask things

I just updated Thunderbird. So, I'm running the latest version. I'm using Windows 10 (old computer)

Thank you MistWing
