Thunderbird Support Forum

Hi. I have been using Thunderbird successfully with my email account for years. Recently a new problem has appeared. Generally, if I create a subfolder in Thunderbird I see it in the Comcast webmail, and vice versa. Sometimes, however, it doesn't carry through. I have some that are visible in webmail but don't show up in Thunderbird. I have removed and re-added the account to Thunderbird. Still they don't show up. I have checked with Comcast Support and they say that the account is fine. Is there something I can do to fix this? Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hi, I have a problem with add new account.

1. I fill in all the fields correctly. 2. I hit the "done" (Gotowe) button. 3. The "password checking" (Sprawdzanie hasła...) message is displayed all the time. 4. Nothing happens. All the time waiting for the password to be checked.

In the thunderbird I have already added 2 other addresses from this domain premium-wood: kontakt@premium-wood and sklep@premium-wood. I did not encounter any problem while adding these two addresses. The password for the account is definitely correct. I can log in via a browser without any problems.

What could be the cause of this situation?

Sorry for my simple english ;)

Able to receive emails on my Hotmail account on Thunderbird but NOT able to SEND. Started suddenly perhaps after Tunderbird update. Followed article “Thunderbird and Hotmail” at (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-hotmail) and found all settings correct as described. What now?

Has anyone received this message or know how to fix the issue that may be causing it?

All - there are enough questions on backups/restores that I don't want to load everyone down with an involved question, I'll try to keep it simple:

1- Using Mozbackup utility - appears to generally work fine and handy but continues to a) restore old accounts long gone (i.e. not present in Accounts list when backup file created with Mozbackup and b) does not restore complete set of new accounts (via Imapmail\*.com account files I take it). I am guessing that if any *.com account file is still sitting in \ImapMail folder and included in the .pcv file Mozbackup will try to restore this and set it up in Accounts list, so I'm going to try deleting all obsolete account *.com files before I do backup this time. Question remains about the non-restore of newer *.com account files though, which WERE present in \Imapmail folder at make backup.

Also, restore does not carry account server info into new accounts list, just the placeholder account name (in the list in Accounts pane on left). I have to repeatedly re-enter server info, re-establish connection, etc. Deficiency in Mozback or is this a safety thing?

2- see attached pic. Either Mozbackup, or something, is creating number-incremented copies of the account *.com files, with the newest (present time) copy having the highest added -# onto file name. Why is this and is it old to delete earlier/old dated files?

I am getting the feeling that it's safer/wiser to just manually backup-recopy all \Imapmail\*.com files (and *.msf files) into \Imapmail folder as per this post:

Any feedback appreciated! jt

when sending a message in Thunderbird, my sent folder always shows two messages sent, why is this and how can it be fixed? I have been through settings and cannot find any obvious setting that could be set to do or change this duplication in sending mail. Can you please advise? Bernibabe.

I have two emails dated 11/22/2021 from support@emarkys.com. If I do a global search for them using either “markys” or “emarkys” I get a drop-down window, image attached, that shows an option for support@emarkys.com. If I click on that I get a search tab that opens showing the two emails. If I click on either of them, I just get a blank screen in a new tab. If I click “Show results as list” I get a blank screen in a new tab.

The emails are located in a local folder “__Purchases” If I search for them using a quick search within the folder they are found just fine and open fine.

I have tried global searches for other emails in that folder and some work fine, but others do not, which is to say they fail like the markys search.

I did a right click on the Purchase folder and selected Repair. The folder only has 147 emails so it completed very quickly. But when it is done the folder appears to have no emails in it. If I click to another local folder and then click back to __Purchases all the emails are there.

After the Repair the search problems persist. I rebooted the PC and the problem persisted.

I tried repairing other local folders that also have name beginning with a double underscore and they repair fine and search fine.

NOW this is really odd. I went to my SurfaceGo to try the same search. Periodically I copy C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\y6jsbo3s.default to transfer my main PC’s TBird install on that machine. I did the same search on that machine and it worked ok. No problems. Then just for the heck of it I did a repair on the Purchases folder. Unlike the other machine, it appeared to repair fine and all the emails were there without me having to click on another folder. However, when I did the search for Markys I now had the same problem as on the other machine. It no longer worked.

Thunderbird 102.7.0, 64-bit, Windows 10.

I just fell over this today but it may have been around for a while.

I have lots of email accounts. It was great when TB starting properly supporting a per-account (outbound) SMTP server, however, this seems to have newly broken. I fell over it today, but I don't reboot things for ages so I cannot pinpoint the start.

Here's the issue.

I have accounts on many mail servers, many on the same (mainly att.net, and gmail.com, as it happens).

Each one of them, to send mail, wants me to log in with an individual sending address. Fair enough. This used to work just fine.

However, suddenly, just the att.net addresses are broken. What *seems* to be happening is that the same, single login address is being used for all N accounts. Naturally, this breaks when the login address doesn't match the one on the From: line. So I have to futz around, fiddle around, and so on, and then things work. (I.E. I change the TB settings so that the outbound SMTP auth login matches the From: line, have to re-enter the password, and only then will the message be sent.) So if I have two accounts, x@att.net and y@att.net, only one of them (at a time) "works" with att.net - it's whatever I successfully used last. If I sent mail from x@, this address is being used (and it's in the account settings field. over-riding what was there before), even if I send mail from y@. Or z@. Etc. If I change the SMTP auth address to y@, then that account works perfectly, but x@ doesn't. And so on.

Now the weird part is this: my Gmail addresses still work perfectly. I can send from all of them without changing a thing.

The only thing I can see is that Gmail is set up to use oAuth, and att.net is set up to use 'normal password' (via SSL, so I'm not that bothered about security).

Did I unknowingly manage to break something? Is there a new tweak? Help!

Hi Everyone: This is the first time I've ever gone to a "community" to ask for help. Please bear with me. I'm pretty simple minded and I am not a computer person. I was very happy with the old format. I would start an email, with another person or persons, and if the general topic was the same (such as a project I was working on with 1-2 people) I would use the "reply" or "reply all" to continue this string of e-mails. The recent changes now bring up different "tabs" at the top of the screen. This is very confusing and shows a series of emails that are generally not relevant to what needs to be addressed. It also does not always show who the current email is actually coming from. My question is: How can I go back to the old format. I found it simpler, easy to use, and more succinct.

The HTML display for incoming email seems to have broken between 10/21/2022 18:23 (which I believe to be the time of the 102.4.0 upgrade) and approximately 10/22/2022 (today) about 16:30. Is there any way to restore these as HTML display?

My Thunderbird is completely updated. Since July I have found it impossible to consistently send emails. I checked my outgoing settings and they are fine. I have no anti-virus (I'm using a Mac). When I turn off the firewall, I can send one email out, sometimes two, then they will no longer go out. I tried deleting Thunderbird from the firewall, then adding it again. Nothing doing. This occurs with both email addresses I use.

Should I remove Thunderbird from my computer and start over? Or is it a lost cause?

Hello, my computer died but before it did i backed up my Thunderbird profile files - the backup is 77.8GB so big to zip using export. I installed Thunderbird v.102.8.0 64 bit; and copied my backed up files over and now my email account list shows when clicking the dropdown arrow next to "get messages" but the email account list (72 email accounts) does not show in the left hand pane.

I have attached images of what I see, what is showing in app data - both local and roaming, and also of both .ini files.

Using the troubleshooting setting the software is pointing to the correct location.

I would truly appreciate your help.

Thank you,

Robin Monroe
