Thunderbird Support Forum

Many messages retrieved from my live.com accounts just show a lot of HTML gobbledygook and I have to browse to my accounts to read them. Also, some are messages I want to copy to another folder in Tbird and save. Is there any way to force Tbird to re-retrieve a message that doesn't download properly?

Thanks, Chris C.

Edit> I should mention that my workaround is to access my account on line and forward the message to myself, but that wrecks the date-time sequencing. Seems like there must be a better solution?

I have recently learned that when I reply back to an email - that my Thunderbird "sends" the email and it goes into my sent folder, but the email is not being delivered.

New emails go through

When I forward the email instead of reply and put in their address manually it goes through.

Can you tell me why when i "reply" to emails they are not going through.

Checked ports and settings. All good. I am on a Mac with Comcast internet / email

Thanks RC

Received this error message after sending one email successfully today" "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Mailbox has reached daily sending limits for this IP: 104.61.154.46 (Z22/6017DF6). Please check the message and try again."

This has never happened before. I've been using Thunderbird for years. I've never heard of " reached daily sending limits for this IP" What is up??? Incoming email is fine. It keeps coming in.

Suddenly, Thunderbird stopped delivering emails from one pop 3 gmx.net account (the others are okay, including an IMAP gmx.net account). TB DOES still deliver these emails to my IPhone SE (15.4.1--the current OS). I use TB 91.9.1 on a MacBook Pro OS 10.14.6. I have checked all the settings on TB and GMX. I have deleted a lot of emails and cleaned the cache and compressed folders. I deactivated the firewall. Nothing works. Please help! Nancy

Hi All,

We have a big issue with Thunderbird in our company. We have several email accounts and every single device has an access to all of the accounts. From few months we have a problem with missing emails.

Issue: Account number 1 - missing emails from one week in April Account number 2 - missing emails from 3 days in May

Email are not visible in deleted messages.

etc.

Is there a way to verify from where emails are deleted, or which program is making all this trouble?

Running 91.9.1, W10. At about noon today I stopped receiving all emails from multiple providers. I have done no updates. Selecting any account results in the looping timer. The mail is available at gmail and aol as well as on my iphone. I've restarted Thunderbird to no avail. All network settings look good. I am running windows defender. As stated I have changed nothing on the PC.

Unable to start Thunderbird.Pop up on desktop shows the following error code as described below.

Error : Platform version '91.9.0' is not compatible with miniVersion>=91.9.1 maxVersion<=91.9.1

Please advise how to resolve this issue.

Regards, George

i have mail in my inbox in thunderbird account that is not in my inbox in my Yahoo account.

I am using Imap

How do I get email from my thunderbird inbox to my yahoo inbox? I am using Imap - but I can get these emails there.

I'm new to PC's. I have very basic knowledge of how to use an i-pad. A month ago I got myself a new MacBook. I installed Thunderbird, no problems. My old mail showed up, new mail came in. I installed GNupg.

Following FSF's excellent tutorial I set up Thunderbird with encryption, all good. Now I'm at the point where I 'should try it out' by sending 'Edward' my public key. This worked as I immediately got an encrypted e-mail from 'Edward' in my Apple inbox. However, on Thunderbird I was left hanging with a constantly spinning disc which I presumed meant Thunderbird was trying to retrieve said e-mail. This did not resolve.

After clicking here and there on Thunderbird's interface, I ended up at the account set up screen being prompted for my e-mail address and password. Three weeks had passed and I couldn't remember my password, nor find a note of it. I only have access to account set up and homepage. On homepage I looked through the 'hamburger' menu but I can't find anything that helps. So, I'm locked out of Thunderbird mail.

Any help would be appreciated on both how to resolve the password issue, and what might have gone wrong in retrieving 'Edwards' mail.

Many thanks, Darren.

Hi,

Couldn't find this in Preferences or Settings: How do I forward emails so that all the details of the message to be forwarded are NOT automatically there? I mean the message itself can of course be there, but I don't want a two meters long table with info such as the details below:

Return-Path: Delivered-To: Received: Authentication-Results: Received: ARC-Seal: ARC-Message-Signature: ARC-Authentication-Results: Received: Received: From: To: Subject: Thread-Topic: Thread-Index: Date: Message-ID: References: In-Reply-To: Accept-Language: etc. etc. etc.

My Thunderbird version is 91.9.1. Many thanks in advance! Laura

An issue with my email occurred yesterday. Suddenly, an incoming email from a known source, started coming in over and over again. Probably a couple of hundred times now. And it is blocking all other incoming mail - nothing since this started about 24 hours ago. Emails are coming normally through Outlook and on my iphone. How do I fix this. Thanks. I've tried re-booting but no luck there.

I have for so long tried to let TB learn what is junk but nothing seems to work. I have also started taking the time to first mark as junk and then go into that junk folder and create a filter. My settings do not seem to make a difference. I have the filter set Mark before junk classification, match ANY of the following (so the @xxxx shows), and in the last section I have tried to set it to DELETE and also to MOVE message to junk folder on that email address. Nothing seems to work. I know there can be many junk senders from the same @xxx address but at some point I would think this "learning" process would take hold. Should I just give up on this timely filters and just mark as junk and then delete? Am i doing something wrong so my filters or junk settings are not filtering out new junk emails?

I recently received this when trying to open Thunderbird:

You are about to override how Thunderbiird identifies this site. Legitimate banks, stores and other public sites will not ask you to do this.

Location: maul.aussiebb.com.au587 Get Certificate View

Confirm Security Exception Then this: This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information. Wrong stie. The certificate belongs to a different site, which could mean that someone is trying to impersonate this site. Both of my email addresses are affected.

I have to use my online webmail to send and receive emails, also my laptop is not affected.

I want to find all contacts in my address book which I have updated since I last synced with Google. Then I can make the same update in Google, so I use Google as my master and do a 1-way sync to Thunderbird. I have about 1000 contacts in about 15 address books so going through them all manually is out of the question. Export to CSV doesn't show a Last Updated Date. Is there somewhere I can find one for each Contact, and sort of search by date?

I have an incoming pop3 email account in Thunderbird. The service provider will close the service in the next few days. Will I be able to access my previous incoming mails through Thunderbird pop3 account, even after my service provider has stopped the service. I am a newbie. I am told that pop3 incoming mails are resident in local device. Please help.

Hi Mozilla Community I have attached a large-ish file 19.7 mb (a video) to an email. Pressed send and an alert comes up telling me I should use file share because ... and this is my issue .... the email is (now) 27 mb in size. I have updated Thunderbird, I'm using Imap and the TB version is 91.9.1 My computer is a two year old HP X360 laptop running Win10. I'm also using Bitdefender Total Security. I have tried several times with blank emails (no words) and a video attachment and some with just a few words and the attachment and also with other size attachments. Same result. This also happened with a 33mb pdf attachment, the alert saying the email size is 43mb I don't know where this extra 7mb or 10mb is coming from unless the alert calculation is wrong. Surely sending a blank email doesn't require this much data. I'm interested in others views and ideas. regards David
