Please explain how to resolve this issue. Unable to send email from fwinters@comcast.net. Error code resomata-a2p-646965. sys.comcast.net

I have a Windows 10 pc, which is current with all Microsoft and manufacturer (Lenovo) updates. Thunderbird won't run since the last update. It just gives a message saying, "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Thunderbird. Do you want to reboot now?" After several reboots, I have given up. A support forum solution from 4 years ago recommends deleting a file (global-messages-db.sqlite) at a location (C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\8charstring.default) that seems not to exist (hidden?) on my pc. What do you suggest? Thanks.

I am using Thunderbird version 115.12.2 on Windows 10 and have set up about 36 different calendars. To tidy up a bit, I would like to hide all calendars AT ONCE and in the next step show each (separate) calendar INDIVIDUALLY. ONLY: HOW do I hide all calendars at once? Possibly accessible via extensions / add-ons? Which extensions would be recommended? Thanks for all your help.

I'm on Thunderbird Nebula 128.1.0esr 64-bit. I use IMAP and I have multiple accounts in my Thunderbird configuration. I have Google Workspace for our business which I can received and read email by IMAP, but I cannot send. I also have a personal Gmail account and that can send and receive.

Yesterday Google experienced a global outage and as best I can tell it has somehow screwed up the OAuth2 Session / Tokens for some Thunderbird clients. Over on Reddit there are other users reporting the issue and it appears to be a bigger issue on Workspace accounts. It does not affect the entire Workspace domain. In our business, I have other users who are on Thunderbird and can still send/receive email on the same Workspace hosted domain that I am having issues with.

I have gone into Settings > Privacy & Security > Saved Passwords and removed the entries for the account that I'm having problems with. That did cause Thunderbird to spawn the browser window to Google to carry through with OAuth2 token approval. That got me back into receiving email, but I still can't send via SMTP.

When trying to send I get the following dialog, but clicking Enter New Password just does nothing and the Dialog just reloads again. I attempted to add a new SMTP Server in Thunderbird, but that never prompts a new OAuth2 dialog for that new server and same Dialog box appears.

Hi, since yesterday trying to send emails just results in the display box "Sending message" (in German) but it never completes that. Receiving emails works fine. The SMTP entries all appear ok, I have not changed anything in terms of hard- or software. I use windows 10 and thunderbird 115. Sending email via the online interface of the service provider works fine too. This problem appears only when trying to send emails via strato.de but not with gmx.de. As far as I can see the settings are identical. Any ideas? Best regards

Thunderbird needs to change its coding very soon because all Google Gmail account holders who are transferring their mail to Mozilla will no longer have access near the end of the month. Google is cutting us off. They say that it's a security issue because they cannot verify authorization. Since their decision is final, Mozilla Thunderbird must adapt by changing the email programming before August 24th.

So, Mozilla, what are you going to do and why has this been kept quiet? It seems that Microsoft will still cooperate but forget Google.

I have Thunderbird installed on two Windows machines that I manually keep in sync. I copy my data files and profile back and forth between the two machines as I use each one, and I keep them updated to identical versions. Have been doing this for years with no trouble.

Last time I clicked on "About Thunderbird" on one machine (A) it offered to upgrade from 115.10.1 to 116.0 (auto updates turned off). But the actual update failed and now its offering only to upgrade to 115.14 esr. OK, but now I'm concerned the other machine (B) with the same update prompt (to 116) might not follow the same path, then I have the two versions out of sync and that is a real PITA to fix as I discovered once some years ago.

Why didn't I get the 116 version that was offered in the dialog, and instead switched to esr channel, and how can I be sure the other machine will switch to offering 115.14 esr also so I can keep identical versions? I thought of creating Windows restore point just in case so I can roll back but would rather not risk it.

Suddenly yesterday Thunderbird stoped to connect to my imap account. I managed to change to pop and it works, but i can only download inmail and no settings. I have Hostinger Titan Email since years. There is no problem at their end.

Having downloaded TB version 128, the details for TbSync via add-on manager states that it is not compatible with this version. My questions, as a first timer with TB are:

1. Can I still go ahead and use TbSync with version 128? I need it to get contacts and calendar from Outlook.com

2. Will the planned native support in 128 for Exchange ActiveSync allow for easy switch from TbSync?

3. I thought I would download TB 115 which TbSync works with, but all download buttons seem to point to 128 and I can't for the life of me find the actual download link for TB 115.

Thank you. Sep

When I did the last update for Thunderbird, it kept asking for me to sign in to my Google account, but rejected my password. Contacted Google and they said I'm already signed in???

Tried installing v115 latest on Ubuntu. Hangs when I try to set up email acc and it tries to log into the Gmail server. "Danger ahead" displayed on page with no option to force it to proceed.

Thus please dispense with any solutions for this and just inform how I can install v91.1.2 using apt-get

I see you list the versions but I see no where on how to specify which version to install.

I am running Thunderbird Flatpak from Flathub on Linux Fedora.

I just checked for updates in Software app. I noticed a few, plus system updates so ran them. I remember seeing Thunderbird reported something weird like ‘v128 [arrowright] v115’. I am making that up but I remember two numbers and the left hand one was a higher number than right hand one.

I thought it was odd but carried on, assuming Software updates never go backwards so it must be some weird anomaly. After rebooting, after updates done, I now get an error/warning when I open Thunderbird…

I’m now confused and worried I screwed up my Thunderbird, in which is 20 years of email. Hoping someone can allay my fears and perhaps advise what I should do? thanks

Hi guys, an automatic update seem to have made my Thunderbird Flatpak unusable. I have literally thousands of Emails in several Accounts as POP3 and need to access them. Suddenly since today I get the error message "You have launched an older version of Thunderbird" (Create New Profile) (Quit). Both choices are not acceptable for me. Any ideas what I can do? Any help is appreciated!

I have been using Thunderbird for over 20 years, both at my former job and personally. I have never had a failed login. I have read lots of the forum questions for failed logins. I have tried following instructions in "Did your ability to receive mail suddenly stop? Was it working before?" I had to use my employee account (I am retired) to receive the code to sign in to this site. My personal Thunderbird account is nanwoo@comcast.net, but since I can't login to that account, I couldn't receive the code there. When I closed and and reopened Thunderbird, the whole imap://imap.comcast.net account disappeared. It now has reappeared, but I don't know if I need to change my password to my new Comcast password (they made me do it). If so, how do I do that? Right now, the password is the one I've been using on my Thunderbird account.

I am old and confused. I am not a programmer. This is very stressful and time consuming. You can't email me when someone answers this question, because I can't login to my email!

I will leave this window open until I get an answer.

I imported my whole folder from AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles by copying the profile into my work computer and completely forgot I wouldn't need my gmail acount on this pc so I removed the account from the left side keeping my business account. Now thunderbird has a window pop up every time I open it where it says mozilla thunderbird email wants access to your google account. It doesn't matter what I select it will still back up next time. I clicked on the profiles. The gmail one is gone completely. Calendar was still showing my google calendar but I unbubscribed from them. Still have the issue. Kinda drives me nuts. Any help would be appreciated. I tried to follow some info i found from 2 years ago but didnt help

I have a user/colleague who suddenly missed a few mails from inbox on Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (32-bit).

We already tried "repair folder (Rebuild Summary File Index) and that range of emails are not visible.

What other process we can execute to make visible those missing emails?

Thank you,

Hi, Why do I have to click twice in a row on a message in the trash that I want to delete? This is how I do it: The message is moved to the trash and should be deleted from there. I mark the message in the trash and then click once on Delete at the bottom right. A window appears asking if I really want to delete. I then click once on Delete and neither the window nor the message disappears. Only when I click on Delete a second time do the window and the message disappear from the trash. What could be the reason for this and how can I fix it? Thank you for a useful answer. I don't have much experience with IT and Thunderbird. Regards Manfred

This is essentially the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1430726 . I am running 128.1.0esr, and the problem surfaced recently. I installed 128.0.1esr (replacing 115.13.0) on July 31. and the problem might have been re-introduced there. I have not researched the version numbers, so I do not know why I went from 115.13.0 to 118.0.1esr.

Here is the problem. I want to see all of the mails with a certain string in the sender field. After I have typed the first character in the filter field, Thunderbird goes into a "Not Responding" state, and I see a spinning blue circle. After I have entered the entire string, it takes a while before TB becomes responsive. When TB becomes responsive, I can delete all of the selected messages (in less than a second). But when I then remove or change the string, TB takes a lot of time before becoming responsive again. Wayne Mery posted at the end of that other archived thread "115.9.0 has a patch related to quick filters which may help." Has that patch somehow been regressed? Thanks.
