I've used TBird for years as my program for email. Monday, Oct. 24th, a window popped up, saying my "user name" was not valid. Another window said to "retry, change Pword" BUT I can go to the Centurylink.net web site for email, sign in, using my user name, and 'old' password and get in. It seems that the problem is with TBird or Centurylink. Century link is in progress of selling to Brighthouse. Note: on their email site, I've lost a lot of emails, but it seems to work. At least, I can receive and send emails thru their site! I've checked my TBird account for SMPT settings. (another window that pops up saying "check smtp settings") They are correct for highermark@embarqmail.com. the default setting reads:" Outgoing server-smpt.embarqmail.com(default). I just want someone to enable me to use my user name so I use TBird (with all my emails and info)......or tell me what to do.....or fix the problem.

 I may have to eliminate TBird program and try to start over, with importing? IF so, how can I delete the TBird program? I'm using Win. 10. Settings? mjm

Can't retrieve mail from Godaddy MS Workspace Outlook

I'm using release 102.2.2. My domain and email are hosted at GoDaddy (GD). After moving to a new house on Aug. 30, Thunderbird (TB for short) on my MS laptop can't connect to the account at GD. I use a pw manager and get the error [Enter your password for xxxxxxx.com on outlook.office365.com:"] Entering the pw stored in my password manager for other sites is working well, including this one at Mozilla. The stored login to GD email goes to my inbox on the GD Outlook server, so I assume the GD password works there but it doesn't for the account on TB. GD email imap/pop settings are in the attached image. What can I try next?

Hello, have the latest version of Thunderbird (102.5.0.) in Windows 11 Pro. I'm using 6 IMAP accounts there.

I want to stop check mails automatically in one account, so I unchecked: - Check for new messages at startup - Check for new messages every 10 minutes - Allow immediate server notifications when new messages arrive

Problem is thunderbird still checks for new mails of that account and shows me notifications. What is bad please?

Tried to clean install of thunderbird, didn't help it. Thank you

Dear all,

On my version of Thunderbird I have three accounts. From one of them the e-mails which I send do not appear in the Sent folder. What can I do to get all e-mails which I send from that account to appear there? Thanks for your help.

Regards, George

(A detail: this is the only of my three accounts from which I can send to Gmail accounts. E-mail from other accounts bounces. I realise that this one is a Gmail and not Thundeerbird issue.)

How can I remove donation POPUPS. I installed Thunderbird a few weeks ago. Because of the excellent working mailbox, I immediately transferred a donation and then received a friendly confirmation, but still those annoying POPUPS.

I'm always accidentally hitting the Junk button when I meant to press the Delete button. They are side by side and Junk is one of the most frequent buttons I use. To Delete an email, I just hit my keyboard Delete button I'd like to be able to re-order these action buttons, and if I had this ability, I'd move the Junk button to between the ReplyAll and the Forward buttons. This way if I make a mistake, I just have to close the email window, rather than having to find the Junked email and un-do the mistake.

I never seemed to have a problem with my Mozilla Thunderbird but shortly after the last Mozilla Firefox update my inbound email thru Mozilla Thunderbird come into my inbound email box as DRAFT Messages. this is a big problem because I can't reply and or forward because there is no (((send))) showing up anywhere. Nobody seems to know how to solve this problem so it must be a first. My wife is on the same Home network as I and she has no problem like mine. I hate to reinstall Thunderbird because I don't know if it would interfere with all here computer info especially with her Thunderbird which seem to be OK (( No inbound Draft email Messages )). I use cox as my IP and mail coming into their email does not have a inbound draft problem, nor does AOL or GMail just Mozilla Thunderbird.

A couple weeks ago my ATT email just stopped working. I spent a long time on the phone with ATT support and finally got it back up and running, however, fixing it created another issue.

I had set up a number of sub-folders under my Inbox. When I was talking to ATT, they insisted that I needed to delete my original email account and then had me create it again. Before deleting the ATT email account from Thunderbird I asked what would happen to my email folders and the email in them. I was assured that the folders would come back after setting up a new AA account configuration in Thunderbird. THE FOLDERS DID NOT COME BACK!

I desperately need some of the things in those email folders. I have been searching all over for information about where they are stored and how I get them back, but I cannot find them. Can anyone here help? Please if you know where my sub-folders are and how I can get to them, please reply. Thank you!

I have an Outlook email account which I manage using Thunderbird.

For reasons not known to me some strange folders have appeared in the folder list. The folders in question all have italian names and appear to be some sort of system error folders - Problemi di sincronizzazione.

I do not recognise them, they are empty and are not visible when I view the outlook account using a browser.

I would like to delete them but when I attempt to do so I get an error message "The current command did not succeed. The mail server for account Outlook responded:Command Argument Error. 11."

Any help to get rid of them would be greatly appreciated. Thanks In Advance
