Thunderbird Support Forum

I sent an email with multiple BCCs and no CCs or TOs, I put myself as one of the BCCs.

I did not receive it and I do not think anybody else did as well since I asked a few people.

The email is in the sent folder. I tried forwarding the email from my sent folder to myself as CC, and that worked. I also tried fowarding as BCC, and that worked.

So what is going on? Is BCC working? How can I know for certain? Do I need to foward the email as BCCs to all my BCCs to get this to work?

Thanks for your help.

I lookked to see what email accounts I have in ssaved passwords and there is none listed. I donated to Thunderbird but I am not sure I can contine with the program because everytime I open TB it asks for passwords for both accounts.

Have been using TB a very long time. 115.8.1 broke some handshake issue with gmail. Google, as door keeper, asks me it Google should let them in. The automatic handshake needs a fix. Started day after install.

I am getting about 50 phishing e-mails a day. They are as obvious as can be, but becoming a pain in the ass to mark as junk. None of the sending e-mail addresses are real and they all wind up with DKIM=fail. I am not finding a solution I am happy with, having considered 1. a Thunderbird add-in that checks DKIM - it has mixed reviews, and I have some clients whose e-mail systems do not respond to DKIM verification 2. SpamAssassin - not quite sure what this does, and I really do not to add another layer 3. I have enabled - in Thunderbird's Account setting and elsewhere - junk filtering, but it shows no signs of being successfully trained despite having manually marked hundreds of phishing e-mails as Junk. 4. I do not see how to create a filter to catch these (I am assuming looking for DKIM=fail in "body" would fail as "body" refers to rendered e-mail contents, not the raw format.

Help would be appreciated. Jonathan

Just moved to TB after 20 years on Mac Mail. Loving it so far, for the most part.

One thing I REALLY do not like is the 'browser behaviour' of Thunderbird. I do not want a second browser on my machine to worry about securing and preventing privacy leaks etc. I have a browser, it's carefully set up, and it's the only i want on my system.

So is there a way to stop TB behaving like a browser? I see questions about 3rd party cookies, they were turned on, and I'm glad I spotted that (could easily have missed it). Can I just turn off all firefox like behaviour? what about "Chat"? I have no use for that.

Thanks

PS - If anyone knows of a way to export my Mac Calendar data to TB, I might try the Calendar function out :)

TB was working fine, but now I can no longer send email. I get a popup window with this:

Unable to connect

An error occurred during a connection to localhost.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Thunderbird is permitted to access the web.

The service (Comcast) is up & working. I've double-checked the password. I've tried disabling my firewall.

How do I figure out what is now causing the problem?

Hi

We using Thunderbird with S/MIME in order to sign email and an LDAP directory access. When we do a reply all, Thunderbird try to download recipients certificates.

It's very long and useless for us ;) (it takes more than 1 minute to the popup to disappear, or we have to click on stop searching multiple times, one for recipient)

Is there anyway to deactivate this feature ? The only way is to disable LDAP, but we need LDAP.

Thanks ! Marc

Hi Again,

I just enabled cookies in order to fix a connection problem with Google and Xfinity. While going through the process, I noticed a Facebook web address was pre-filled, and I immediately deleted it before realizing "block" and "allow" are both on that same page. Can someone please paste that link here so I can put it back where it was?

Thank you!

Hello from one of my mails I can`t see the external issues. I gave permission to show all content in the mail, and that was stored in the list permission to show all external content, but still the content is not shown. Can you please help me, and tell me what I can do so I can see all the external issues in the mail.

Thanks and with regards, Henny Noorman

Hi, I have 4 Gmail family accounts on my Thunderbird. 2 accounts are OK and I can't connect to Gmail with the other two ones.

I've checked : - the passwords - the parameters for the account - the cookies are accepted (with an exception) - I've reset the old files - I've reset the old password - I've tied to delete the account and I can't reconnect any more ("Cant connect to the server, ..." (Translation from french)

I can't find a new idea...

For the account I didn't delete, the special connection window keep appearing every time I try to connect to on Gmail account, I enter the correct login and password, I click on "Authorize" but connection failed. My Thunderbird version is 102.11.0 on Ubuntu OS

Could you please help me ? Thanks! Jo

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to authenticate to my corporate email, which uses Google Mail, but I'm having some issues due to the security requirements. To authenticate to the email, I need to confirm the authentication with a Passkey, which I use the Bitwarden password manager. When I try to authenticate the email in Thunderbird, it opens a "browser" window where I should provide my email, password, and confirmation through Passkey. As this "browser" doesn't have the Bitwarden extension installed and is impossible to install, I cannot confirm the login.

Is there a way to change a configuration on Thunderbird instead of opening its browser, opening the browser installed in my OS where I have the Bitwarden extension installed, and logging in to confirm the login through Passkey? This behavior is the one used by Mailspring to authenticate an email account.

Gmail authentication fails unless I use debug mode, even when I've cleaned out addons etc.

Gmail then asks for permissions via Thunderbird menu and (sometimes) via 2F text to phone. I always grant these but authentication will always fail unless I start in debug mode.

Note: this is IMAP access.

Also, I read that master password is broken. Is this a related bug?

Thanks in advance.

I have TB 91. set to a pop server using SSL/TLS but got a message from gmx saying I will not be able to receive emails on TB AS IT USES OUTDATED SECURITY ... After the protocols TLS1.0 and TLS1.1 have been deactivated, the transfer of emails between your affected device or program and our GMX servers will no longer work; i.e. no emails will be transmitted to or from your GMX email account using TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. Third-party email programs such as Outlook, Thunderbird or pre-installed apps in which you have set up your GMX email account.We recommend that you only use newer devices and programs that support the latest TLS 1.2 or 1.3 encryption protocols and transfer your emails securely. How do I change this in TB to continue to receive emails please? M Hunt

I am nearly 73 years old, and well affected by Parkinson's Syndrome and vision AND am loosing my ability to walk, rtalk, and see. I don't recall fiddly details anywhere as well as in the past.

I think it would be an advantage to see what I am typing. The simplest error with a password can wreak havoc with one's time and sense of self. If there is something I can adjust, or if a brief bit of coding may well be a splendid help.

Thanks in advance, Rick-Ashley Read [email removed from public forum] Rip City, Ory-gun 73

I have email filters set-up to delete any emails from senders who are not in my address book. However, if the email is missing the sender ("From:" tag missing) the email is retained. I would like an option to create a filter based on missing "From:" tag. This would help protect users from scams and junk emails.
