Thunderbird Support Forum

Hello. I have recently been experiencing lots of problems with Thunderbird E-mails. Often I am unable to send any mails at all. Although the in-box seems to work OK. Checked with my ISP yesterday ( Talk Talk ) and was advised they no longer support Tiscali E-mails ! However, that later turned out to be incorrect. Apparently they still support Tiscali - but only for existing telephone and broadband customers like me. However, I am advised to change my account settings from POP 3 to IMAP. ( not quite sure why ! )

If I am to change the settings to IMAP could someone please let me have some simpole and easy-to-follow steps for an " oldie " like me so I don't make any mistakes. Also, please could you confirm that if I make the switch I will still be able to keep my existing tiscali.co.uk E-mail domain name ? I want to retain that E-mail address in any event. Is that possible ?

Finally, I would want to copy a couple of hundred incoming and out-going E-mails to the IMAP account, or, if not possible, then I would need to make a back-up copy of two or three hundred incoming and out-going E-mails which are already on Thunderbird but I don't know how to go about this. Could someone please send me some easy-to-follow instructions,

I have to say that all of this seems very complicated just to change from POP 3 to IMAP in order to keep Talk Talk happy ! I don't use multiple accounts and would prefer to stick with POP 3. Help and advice please on what to do.

Many thanks. SG.

Sorry, but the Thunderbird forum does not show me an "ask question" button. _{moved to Thunderbird forum. aw}

Thunderbird: How can I disable the recipient pills? "each recipient is now an item" How can I deactivate that? Thanks!

The first time I start up Thunderbird in each session, there is a long delay, during which nothing can happen, while All Mail dlownloads messages - currently over 900 of them. Why does it do this, and how can I stop it downloading old messages?

Thunderbird does not save changed settings

Whether I'm adding a new email account or trying to change idle.db.idle_limit from 300000 (5 zeroes) to 30000000 (7 zeroes) the settings are not retained in the next session. I have tried safe-mode, deleting permissions.sqlite and manually editing prefs.js and nothing changes. May times on exiting Thunderbird abends -I have sent in the diagnostic information through the abend popup.

Have written email message via thunderbird. Somehow, the SEND box is now greyed out and the message is not sent. No action knowingly by me preceded this condition. Thank you.

I used to be able to highlight a message and it would skip printing the from, to, date and subject in Thunderbird but now the from, to, date and subject prints no matter what I do

hello, i have a set of emails. i want to select them and copy their titles. how to do that?

-- i want to paste the titles in a file and ten parse it automatically.

thanks

August 4 my verizon.net email on thunderbird stopped receiving new mail. I keep getting server rejected login information. I resubmitted my password and still got same message. I manually reconfigured pop3 and even manually configured imap but both failed. I then deleted the account and same error when I tried to reinstall it. I then used Firefox to log into aol.com and used by verizon id and password to access it that way and it worked and my mail since august 4 has been retrieved.

 What has changed that I can't access my verizon mail via thunderbird?  Since I can't contact AOL, I wonder if anyone else might have an anwser?
Thanks for any help you might give

Thunderbird emails: I can receive email but when I send messages I get this automatic msg : The mail server sent an incorrect greeting: mtlp000085 cmsmtp ESMTP server not available. What does this mean and how do I get my outgoing email to work again?

Hello all,

i sent an email with attached ics file (cc to myself). Thunderbird now shows me only the appointment in both the sent and received message, but not the text of my email. I am using TB 78.13 on Windows 10.

Is the problem known?

Ich kann mich mit meinen Passwörtern nicht anmelden. Ich habe in den Einstellungen alle Passwörter gelöscht und trotzdem möchte Thunderbird immer meine Passwörter wissen. Habe ich dies eingegeben funktioniert es aber trotzdem nicht

Thunderbird Email: For some reason I no longer get all new messages as "single" messages. Some of my new messages come in a "thread" (I guess that's what it is). When this happens I don't get any alert or notification. I don't know I have a new email unless I check every so often, and even then it doesn't show up as a new/unread email. I don't want to have to open 'threads' or whatever they are. I want each email to come in as a separate email every time just like it used to do. HOW DO I FIX THIS?????????? Please respond to xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx

Thunderbird EMAIL no longer has "right click" and no longer has a "Drop Down Menu" for COPY function and it also no longer has this option for "SELECT ALL" function.

I need these options to copy (and paste) data from emails.

Please help if you can
