Thunderbird Support Forum

I think I must be missing something. Here is what I am seeing:

Using Thunderbird (v115.4.1 64bit), start a new email message. Go right to the Composition area of the new message and do the following:

• Turn on Bold
• Turn on Underline
• Type BBB
• Hit return twice
• Turn off Bold
• Turn off Underline
• Type C

When I do that C does not get typed. I have to type it a second time. Further if there is text underneath where the C is going to go, some text and possibly a line will be deleted especially if it is blank.

Is there a way to turn off this behaviour?

I've been using Thunderbird for YEARS, with 4 different accounts and 10 identities. As you can imagine, I have a ton of rules to help organize my emails.

It just self-upgraded to 115.3.3 yesterday, and suddenly, I have NO RULES.

I can get used to the new look & feel. But to lose all of my rules? Really? Come on man!

After many, many years of using and supporting Thunderbird, it is now time to quit. The new update is horrible. I need new email client recommendations. $ is ok. (I'll pay to get away from Thunderbird.) (Searches are a muddled mass of paid/partial reviews) Thanks.

I keep telling thunderbird that messages are not junk, but it keeps putting them back in the Junk folder. The messages come from people in my address book. What the f... is going on? It is extremely annoying. I have been using thunderbird forever. I would have to switch to microsoft software. Please help!

When I open a message in my att.net inbox, thunderbird opens it in a Write window as if I am going to send it instead of just reading it. The From field is my att.net address (poohpah@att.net), The Reply-To field is the sender of the message, and the To field is my att.net account. There is also a yellow box at the bottom of the window that says:

  "A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and settings from identity dennis george <poohpah@att.net>"

This does not happen in my gmail.com account - it opens messages normally. Version is 115.4.1 (64-bit)

Outgoing smtp from Thunderbird has stopped since update. I have reviewed all the documentation and been in contact with my provider and still have been unable to resolve the problem. I am very frustrated with this issue. I attempted the SSL/TLS reversion back to version 1 and this did not help.

I have tried changing the port number to that suggested my my provider which for outgoing is supposed to be 587, although 24 has always worked. They also suggested changing the server name to mail.twc.com which did not work. They suggested the full email in the User Name field, which I did with various combinations of port numbers and server names and none have worked.

When I attempt to send I get the following error: The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp-server.rochester.rr.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

When I use changed settings as described above I just get a timed out error as though there is no connection at all.

Screenshot of SMTP settings as they have always been attached. Email provider rochester.rr.com. ISP Spectrum. No firewall. Virus protection Bitdefender v. 27.0.23.112. OS Windows 11 Home build 22621.2428. Thunderbird version 115.4.1

Please assist

Why is there no resolution to the problem so many of us are experiencing? Thunderbird just QUIT downloading email. I lost 20 folders full of data from older emails that I can never recoup. And Thunderbird still won't work. We all need answers NOW!!!!!! Really funny that there is a link at the bottom to email me when there is an answer!!!!

Hello, When I read and delete messages on my android phone (android12) they do not show as read or deleted on my laptop and vice versa. Email is Gmail on both, laptop on win 11 and Thunderbird, phone also on Thunderbird. Any help appreciated Thanks

There is someone continusouly trying to log-into my email address. But I do not know where this is coming from.

Help please....to find out who or where this is coming from.

Thank you.

As the title says, I read a blog post that the Thunderbird team was beginning work on an iOS app in 2023 and I was curious if there was any updates on it. I have thunderbird everywhere, including all of my work computers, but I don’t have it the one device that I am always on and that is iOS.

Suddenly unable to download emails, tried to go back to earlier version but that didn't work.

Deleted all Thunderbird files from hard drive, reloaded new Thunderbird, but now I'm unable to set up with Spectrum because the password is wrong!!!

Using the same password for years.

Now I have no access to email at all because it won't allow me to set up with server.

I will occasionally get an email that is intended to be displayed as HTML, but instead it arrives as MIME (I think that's what it's called) encoded. I have a pop3 account on comcast.net, and it arrives on my pc looking like this:

--f2f8ed06dccb69fa7d7ee4297ed3b95a3c4f4959ba0f714338cee9c04ff4 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I am pleased to let you know that my latest book, which I co-authored with = Liz Nesbitt, is now on sale. Spirit Whales and Sloth Tales: Fossils of Wash= ...

and so on

Is there a setting I have wrong?

I have 3 email accounts linked with Thunderbird on my computer that I have had linked for many years. 2 are different names @ 1 address and the 3rd is a different address. All email addresses are with the same company - JustHost.

The 3rd works fine - can send and receive.

The first 2 can send but not receive.

Any ideas why 2 are not working but the 3rd is?

Thanks!

Suddenly a new message will arrive with several related messages attached as happens with a search. The new message is not bolded and is difficult to see. What have a done? I have been using Thunderbird for at least 20 years and now feel lost.

Having problems with my emails since the change over. They are ascending instead of descending and I can't change it. Also when I log in, emails start at 2016 instead of recent emails and i have to scroll down to see my new emails. Help!

Here is what happened: oct.27 the mailsystem could not pick up mails from the server. Then I looked for an update and launched Thunderbird 102.15.1 (20230912052514) kl.23.45.03 successfully. To be able to launche it I was asked to make a new profile. After that the system looked very strange, and contacts and folders was gone. To day oct.28, I updated 115.4.1 (20231024181440). After that at look like the further (115.3.3). But still without the old folders and contacts. What can I do to get them back ? Y.f. Carsten Andersen Rødovre, Denmark
