Thunderbird Support Forum

I am distressed. I've used Thunderbird for years and had to create a new version of my IMAP account using EXCHANGE. I did that. I know it was successful because the EXCHANGE account showed up in Thunderbird and I then spent days transferring emails from the old IMAP account personal email folders into duplicate folders in the new EXCHANGE account.

Then today I closed my browser. When I re-opened Thunderbird, the new EXCHANGE account was absent. Since I can't use the old IMAP account any more, I tried again to create an EXCHANGE account. When I tried to do that, I got a message that "the server already exists" (see image below) and I am unable to complete the task.

So the previously created EXCHANGE account has disappeared, with all my emails in it, I can't create a new one, and the IMAP no longer works (and won't accept my password to send or receive). I feel completely stuck and I've lost several years of emails.

The fact that the message said that the server already exists makes me think and hope that my EXCHANGE account still exists somewhere. Can you help me find it? Many thanks in advance. Steve

Is there anywhere to get actual support for Thunderbird? I have no answers to my problem - can't receive e-mails still for a month now. Hoping not to have to change to a different e-mail software.

on July 7 the new update for TB 112.30 wrote over my version and became a new install, I asked about solution and someone recommended reload TB..no help , I have been hoping for a new update to correct what ever clobbered my folders on 7/7.and blocked my access to email server - ATT now at ver 115, still no folders. realized today 8/2 I needed a secure Key for ATT email - got that and at least was able to connect and download email . any idea how I can restore the version before july 7 ?

Why won't Thunderbird email work for me? It always wants password for "ricc on imap,shaw.ca" I phoned Shaw (my isp) but they don't support Thunderbird

After I installed the latest up grade 115 I have lost all the old emails in my inbox, sent, and trash as well as the ability to use TB as I can't sign in. I get the following prompt when trying to use my account. "Sending of password for user ****@att.net did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later", and then a prompt to "Enter your password" which does not work, although the pass word shows up in"passwords". The TB account works fine in the Yahoo web account, but I don't keep anything there on a daily basis. The web TB account lets me send and receive mail normally. I haven't changed my configuration ,password or uninstalled TB. My G mail works normally.

I have recentkly submitted questions about issues regarding the menu font size I am experiencing after installing SuperNova, so much so that its affecting my ability to access events on my calendar. I just tested toi see if this was also the situation on my laptops and I found it is not. I uninstalled and reinstalled SuperNova on my PC and continue to experience the same issue. What could be the issue on my PC that is causing this oversized font. It is only happening with SuperNova and not on any other application.

My thunderbird email account has been hacked. I have been in touch with my service provider and reset the password I use on ....@care4free.net. I can access webmail using the new password but I can't reset this new password on Thunderbird. Can anyone offer any assistance please ?

Please fix T-bird email. We are a non-profit, long-term, Firefox user that paid & signed in 2months ago, & cannot send email. Please fix ASAP; problem is something to do with SMTP server. We don't want to, but we will have to go very soon. Thanks, Refuges for All WildLife.

Unable to send email from Mozilla Thunderbird Problem has been worked over days, good ideas have come in via this portal, all workable ones did not change the fact: email can not be sent Our server: acsalaska.net after contacting, went over our account, all is well on their end, it must then be Mozilla Thunderbird that holds the key Thanks for your input

I have just used TB 102.8.0 and can no longer see all my emails. I installed TB 102.9.0 and am still unable to see all my emails. How do I see all emails in TB102.9.0?

I have Thunderbird as my client on my primary home workstation as well as my traveling laptop. Each instance is configured exactly the same with regards to the four servers I use: Earthlink, GMail, Outlook and GMX. Each of those server/services is also identically configured with regards to these Server Settings: Leave Messages on the Server Until I Delete Them.

Each of the servers -- except GMail -- has the same behavior with regards to how it handles things when I click on the option to Get Messages, i.e., each server seems to be able to identify which of the clients has and which of the clients has not previously been served up with a newly arrived email. It will not send the same email to the same client more than once.

GMail is the exception. There I get what seems to be a first-come-first-served protocol. If I perform Get Messages on the laptop, I will get the email, but will not be able to get the email when I subsequently make the request from the workstation's Thunderbird instance. [Or, if the first request is made from the workstation instance, the laptop instance will never get the email.]

I realize that my usage pattern is rather unique, so it may well be that no one else has ever experienced this behavior, but if anyone has -- with regards to any email server, not just GMail -- and knows a work-around, I would appreciate the instruction.

And, in anticipation of one line of questioning, when I say that all four server/services are configured the same, I am indicating that I do work with GMail as a POP3 server, not IMAP. All my email content ultimately resides on my own hardware resources and is only temporarily resident on hardware provided by the server/service entity.

P.S. Please pardon my mistake in initially, mistakenly posting this request to the Firefox community.
