Thunderbird Support Forum

Nearly every day I have to quit Thunderbird and reopen it as, it will not connect to my server. This means that all the viewing criteria and spending/descending has to be reset and is a real drag. As soon as I reopen Thunderbird it works normally again.

I have used the same connection details for years and it is just the last two Thunderbird versions that have replicated this issue. It's not always every morning when I wake my iMac up, but normally happens then or, later during the day.

I asked this question for 102.3.1 but received no answers so, I am hoping that there will be an answer to this.

Thanks

Hello, have any of you encountered such a problem as different email content than it should be? On the main server the content is correct, only through the thunderbird application I encountered such a problem. Is there any solution to this problem ?

I have configured 2 mailboxes in Thunderbird sent some test mails to see if it is working. Now everything works great, but somewhere there is a mail which Thunderbird tries to send out. Unfortunately it looks like the mail is created with mail account 1 and Thunderbird tries to send it with mail account 2. Of course the mail server denies to sent the mail, because the mail address is unknown to him. I checked all outboxes in Thunderbird and at the webinterfaces of the 2 mailboxes and found nothing. I removed all mail boxes and smtp configurations from Thunderbird and uninstalled it. After new installation I still facing the issue. Where can I find the mail Thunderbird is trying to send?

Since I too am having many problems with passwords I wonder if I were to reinstall TB if that would solve the problem. Is there any way to save my contacts before I do a reinstall so that my contacts/addresses are easily replaced after the reinstall? Or am I not going to fix the password problem by doing a reinstall?

There is no mystery to what's happening here. Programming 101: a security exception doesn't get reset every 2 or 3 passes unless some malicious or incompetent programmer set up a countdown loop to reset it. And who would do that kind of thing to users unless some malicious jerk wants to pressure the users into fighting his or her political programming battles with other net entities? I turn 77 this month, and last year had a tumor removed from inside my spinal cord that, while slow-growing and essentially benign, caused horrific pain. People my age and condition save our energy for things that really matter to us. That doesn't include Lilliputian battles over which end of the egg to open. So suck up your egos and resolve this among each other.

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!

Hello, I hope somebody can help me in this case: I’m using four accounts for the family. Three accounts are working as usual, but one account is affected by an issue since a couple of days, after I have sent out an e-mail with the following options: - Request Receipt confirmation (MDN) - Request Delivery confirmationDSN - Save copy to Inbox The situation now is: 1. When opening a new incoming message by double-klick this one will be opened in a new window prepared already as „Answer“. That means: o In the right upper corner the buttons „Answer“, „Forward“, Archive“,… are missing. o In the left upper corner the button „send“ is already available. o The field for the target address is already filled. 2. Normally the following message should occure: ”To save your private sphaere Thunderbird has blocked external contens”, together with the option to show the external contens. But now instead: No such message, no such option available. 3. Following message instead: o No Identity has been found matching the e-mail address from the „From“-field. …… 4. The address field is already filled by address of the sender 5. URL’s sent by the sender are not working. 6. Following actions already done, without success: o Inbox (of affected account)/Properties/Repair: summary file new created o Upgrade to TB 115.4.2 o Troubleshooting- Mode performed o Start cache deleted (Help/Information for troubleshooting)

Attached is a sample/screenshot of incomming message, opened by double-klick. Thanks in advance Best Regards Detlef

I have about 30,000 messages in a local folder on TB. I need to move them to an IMAP folder on my outlook.com account. I have been able to move some but TB just stops moving the files randomly. I have tried: creating a new TB profile Moving small batches Creating a new destination folder on the IMAP account Granting all permissions to destination folder Reindexing TB Compacting the Local folder Checking/Changing SMTP server settings Read everything I could find in various forums There are 'services' that claim to do this for you but require me to grant permissions I am uncomfortable with Thanks for any wisdom you can offer to resolve this.

When I send email with an attachment (not very large attachment) it takes forever and then I eventually get a message back that the out going server has timed out and the message is then automatically saved in my Draft folder. However, it seems the message and attachment are actually sent and received by the recipient. Is the system not recognizing that the message is complete and just stays in the send mode until the server times out?

Updating to version 38.1.0 Start Thunderbird, Starts up OK. Can view messages and write new emails etc OK. If I select "get messages" OR messages are accessed automatically every 5min. then the whole PC crashes. Three finger salute does not bring up task manager. Only way out is to power cycle.

Thanks in advance for your help Cheers Pete

I have updated to Thunderbird 38.1 running with XP Pro. Thunderbird fails/crashes every time I switch users. We have 3 account profiles and failures occur on all 3 profiles.

Crash reports cannot be sent to Mozilla as errors in transmission occur.

While Thunderbird is working it is good but the constant failures are frustrating.

This is a new one... Windows 10 1TB SSD Newest version T'bird

History: Upgraded from 500BG to 1TB using ISO Imaging software

Issue: The ISO Imaging went well and the new 1TB account showed 485GB which was accurate. The next day my 1TB drive was full 998GB and my Thunderbird SBD folder was 743GB. Every time I delete data to create space my imap.gmail.com folder grows (Currently 736GB).

Help!!!

This report also contains technical information about the state of the application when it crashed.

For some time Thunderbird crashes quite often. One reason seems to be Chinese characters in an email I try to open. But it also crashes on other occasions. Several times a day.

When i send an attachment the other party a lot of the time cannot open the file. However in my sent directory the file is always corrupted and shows as 337kb for a 1.5MB attachment and the same for a 6.5 MB attachment. When i send the 6.5MB file to myself in the in box it shows as 331kb. TBird is set as IMAP and the laptop is running Windows 11.

I have just updated the latest Thunderbird but every time I open it, it just crashes? Is this just a me or a general problem. I am running Ubuntu 22.04. How can I go back to previous version? Hope you can help? Chris

Hi, thanks for your help in advance.

My Thunderbird keeps stalling every time it checks the Hotmail messages. The "thinking" wheel keeps coming up and it freezes for the duration of the process of checking the Hotmail account for new messages.

This didn't happen before, and it doesn't happen with other email accounts (gmail or others). I believe it started with the last 2 updates or so.

I am using a Macbook Pro 16, 2019, 2,3 Ghz, i9, 16Gb, and TB 102.3.3

I look forward to your suggestions to solving this issue since it interferes with my workflow every time I have to wait for TB to unfreeze after it finishes checking the Hotmail account.

Thanks again. Best. Nacho.

Hi,

I use a siteground server and whenever I add a new account, TB recognizes the settings but when I click "Next" to finalize the process, it never completes.

If I try to configure it manually, I get an error saying "incoming server already exists."

To fix the problem, I have to exit TB and manually edit the profile file.

I end up adding:

user_pref("mail.account.accountXX.identities", "idXX"); user_pref("mail.account.accountXX.server", "serverXX");

Then I make a copy of another account's

user_pref("mail.identity.idXX.XXX"

settings and make them fit the new account.

As you can guess, it's pretty tedious and annoying but I don't understand why this happens.

Any ideas?
