Thunderbird Support Forum

We have been using Thunderbird with a Cox email account. Cox has just transferred all its customers to Yahoo. I want to use Thunderbird with Yahoo. How do I set that up?

With the moving of Cox emails to Yahoo would it be feasible for Thunderbird to put an instruction list(with screenshots) of how to get all our TB email accounts from Cox to TB? Do we have to delete all our TB email accounts and re-enter them into TB under the new Yahoo or can we just change the server settings on the existing Cox settings? If just changing server settings what are the settings for the new yahoo? All my accounts are IMAP so if instructions could be made, maybe one for IMAP and one for POP for those who use either. Thank you

Every year I am required to update my university's net id password. Normally T'bird responds asking for a password update. Not this year; I am just cut off.

I followed all instructions from the T-help site. But it is impossible to update the "saved password." "edit" is not allowed.

When T-bird did ask me to connect via Google, see the screen shot, the next screen locks with a 403 error message, also attached.

I would like to continue to use Tbird, but this is making it impossible. My university's IT people had me download the T-bird again, but the problem persists.

Please advise soon.

Is there a simple fix to enable links in emails? I've tried several suggested fixes but still the links don't work.

Changing settings documentation is confusing for non-developer types. Instructions are cumbersome and unclear.

I may be missing something, but how can I remove threading completely from Thunderbird or how can I download an older version. I"ve searched for 102.15, but cannot find a way to download it. I really prefer NOT to use another email client. I've always used Thunderbird, but I cannot tolerate this threading thing and I can't seem to disable it.

Running 115.5.0 and want to export my contact list to be able to use it in a spreadsheet. The export function in the Tools dropdown only allows for export of "accounts, messages, address books and settings to a ZIP file." What happened to the ability to export just the address book separately to a csv file? Please help. Thank you.

How do i delete 155 emails from the same sender? Or 52 emails from the same sender? Or how do i delete multiple emails from the same sender, but they are not junk and i do not want to inhibit my receiving emails from the sender? Thank you

I use Thunderbird for my email. I have two computers and have donated on each on of them over the last few weeks. The Donate page appears when I am in my email and takes up the bottom half of the display. How do I get rid of this and stop it from coming back? Thanks for your help. Gary

I have had very few notices about Thunderbird upgrades. My records show Setup numbers: 3.0.exe, 8.0.exe, 52.4.0.exe, 52.9.1.exe, 78.12.0.exe, and then 115.5.2.exe. My address book made it through all but the last upgrade. No notice that I should save a copy of my address book ever showed up in any correspondence. I tried reinstalling an old upgrade but the upgrade always wants to update the installation. I did try to reinstall 52.9.1, but the next screen wanted my name and password. It would not accept any name and password that I could remember. So I tried searching for them at Xfinity and Comcast to no result. I did not try my Firefox password because it didn't seem appropriate. Incidentally, my records show 135 upgrades for Firefox for the same length of time as the upgrades for Thunderbird. My fear is that my address book is unrecoverable. I chose Thunderbird because I ofigured none of it would need backup if it became necessary to reinstall Windows 10. Which happened last year. I did not expect Mozilla to change Thunderbird so drastically that I couldn't get every thing back. Sorry but I'm a senior citizen and not computer literate. If I have to try to recreate my address book I may as well use Microsoft's Outlook as it looks somewhat simpler than Thunderbird - which I doubt.

I downloaded an update to my email. And it screwed it all up. I'm sick of going to my web mail to send out new messages, whenever someone e-mails me. My Thunderbird receives the e-mail's, but won't send them out? I haven't changed anything on the settings. Right now they are set to... and I've included a picture of my updates. Thank you.

I want to uninstall thunderbird but i keep getting the reboot message saying the laptop needs to reboot after upgrade.It is also set as a default mail on sending any emails with attachments as PDF.Have tried rebooting laptop many times to no avail. Am not computer literate

Scheduled send is a prominent feature of nearly every online email client. I don't understand why Thunderbird, the most fully featured desktop email client doesn't offer scheduled send and has to rely on a third party add on to offer this feature? Thanks for your help!

Every few days, the index pane of some folder gets corrupted. Repair (right-click, Properties, Repair Folder) fixes it. Then a few days later this repeats, with a different folder. I have three IMAP accounts and this occurs on more than one of them.

Any suggestion for finding and fixing the underlying problem?

I have a friend who has been using the Outlook email client with her Gmail account. She's looking into moving to Thunderbird. Is it just a matter of... - making sure that IMAP is enabled in her Gmail account - installing Thunderbird - adding the Gmail account and credentials to Thunderbird

She's got lots of folders so is concerned that they won't be lost in the process.
