Thunderbird Support Forum

My Thunderbird account is synchronised to my BT mail account using IMAP

Although the folders that i have built in my BT mail box appear on Thunderbird the contents of those folders do not, all I have on Thunderbird is empty folders

Any ideas why?

I am with shaw/rogers but use Thunderbird for email. I stopped getting my emails today. How do I fix it? Also when I send it sends but states it can not save to save folder.

On my new laptop I can't get convert to task working. When I click on this option nothing happens. Convert to event works fine.

This functionality works fine on my desktop PC

hello. i just added two emails to our thunderbird email program: jfreilich@live.com and slederer@live.com. i keep getting this message: Login to server outlook.office365.com with username jfreilich@live.com failed. and no matter which password i enter i continue to get rejected...however, if i hit cancel then the mail comes through. rather funky. any idea what's up? this is the first time we are using an imap rather than the pop3. we do have two other emails on thunderbird that uses pop3 without any issues. appreciate your help as i fear i am loosing emails but definitely they are being greatly delayed and not downloaded automatically.

1. thunderbird refuses to save, acknowledge hotmail password. must reenter on opening program. dialog box remains until I manually close. Mail is processed. I can see my account behind the dialog box. mail comes in and goes out.

2. also - window opens behind email program with title bar off screen for google. must hit esc to remove. 2 screen shots attached.

I accidently deleted the password saved with Oaut2 for this mail account trying to fix this. thought it would ask for the password when i next accessed the program but no luck!

thanks for your help.

For the last few days, I am receiving only about 80% of the emails sent to me on my Thunderbird email. I receive the other emails on my ISP Squirrelmail web portal.

I have not set up any message filters on my Thunderbird email.

i have a problem with the number of no read emails, because look that is 9 the number of emails... and there are only 3 but in 3 different folders... how can i avoid that sum all or appear in "todos" (all msg) and importantes "(important")?

I use Owl to receive my emails on Thunderbird. This has been working fine, but stopped round about my renewal date. I have re-added all my account details and can get the data to come up, but it doesn't stay. Every time I close Thunderbird, so all the folders and emails disappear too. Please help. I have tried contacting the Owl Support several times by email, but they have not replied!

Running TB 115.7.0 on an iMac. I've made no changes to any of the setting recently. Overnight it stopped being able to send messages. Instead I get this error message:

"Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable Sender address is not allowed.. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again."

I have checked my email address in account settings and I have checked my SMTP settings and all seems to be correct. What could have caused this sudden change in TB's behavior and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks, Ted

When I delete an email from the inbox, the others disappear for awhile, then come back (thermometer at lower right shows how long the delay will be).

But if without waiting for the thermometer I open another folder and then go back to the inbox, they're all shown without delay. Why?

Since update to 115.7.0 that took place on 1/22/2024, ALL my local folders are stripped of content and new emails I have put into a folder have disappeared when I come back to the folder. In one case, when I clicked on a folder, the emails were there and quickly disappeared within one second.

I now have none of the emails I have been saving on Thunderbird for more than 20 years!!!!!!! I was around when the first version was released.

I have spectrum webmail on the tb's homepage but it cannot send or receive emails from other accounts. It says "cannot connect to nycap.rr.com". Unfortuneately it never says why it can't connect.
