Thunderbird Support Forum

i am trying to access my gmail mail but cannot put my password in. went to your help but in -- account settings -- SMTP server -- authentication method -- it will not show OAth option. have checked cookies settings etc but nothing ????

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

Many years ago with Virgin Media and Thunderbird I set up original e-mail of alexam@blueyomder.co.uk, then added alexamimages@yahoo.com for photography then badgerwoodcrafters@yahoo.com for my woodwork hobby, but now I am 83 I only wish to use my e-mail of malcolm.alexander101@gmail.com. I thought I had redirected the other e-mails to my gmail account, but it does not seem to work correctly or only intermitantly and I need some help please, as I am unable t understand what is needed.

Can someone please let me know how I re-direct all previous e-mails to my new gmail account on my new windows 11 laptop and help an old non geek like me to understand. many thanks. Please reply to malcolm.alexander101@gmail.com.

Would it kill ya to add a simple link to Google Maps (or even other map sites), if a calendar event contains an address? I use the Calendar a lot and make sure that I have addresses associated with events. This allows Google and Android Auto to pop up a notification asking me if I'm going to XYZ event. I then tap Navigate and off I go. But sometimes when I'm on my desktop I look at a calendar event and wonder where exactly I'm going to be driving to and I have to open the event and copy and paste the address into a browser set on Google Maps. It'd be way more convenient to just tap a link on the TB event notification or maybe in the right-click menu of the event on the Calendar or alongside of the address in the event details.

Been wondering about this for years and finally got around to submitting the request here.

I successfully logged in using oauth2. But after I clicked the "allow" button on the oauth2 page of google. However, after that, I still see "unable to log in at serve. Probably wrong configuration, username or passward".

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

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

Have just installed Thunderbird, everything went o.k.. Sending emails e.g. no problem. The only big problem is the inbox which does not show on the menu bar. What to do?

To receive emails, I'm asked for a password--I've entered every password I know that is connected to my email accounts and provider but I'm still asked for a password. Over and over it happens. Then, all of a sudden, it works.

Hi SInce upgrading my Thunderbird to the latest version, I cannot show the full body of search results which are in the local folders. When I select a specific email on a date shown tries to display the body but the screen is completely empty. If I browse the same local folders I can view bodies perfectly. The workaround I am using is to note the date of the emails I've found from the search and then find them individually by browsing the folder contents.

Hi

I recently did a fresh install on my computer and had backed up my Thunderbird profile folder however after reinstalling and placing the backed up profile files into the profiles directory I cant see any of my folders or saved emails.

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
