Thunderbird Support Forum

Thunderbird fails to access comcast.net email accounts after years of working correctly. Version 115.10.1. I have tried changing the password many times after talking to Comcast support. The best they can do is suggest I contact you.

With Windows11 and Thunderbird 115.10.1, I am suddenly unable to send emails. It has been fine up until a few days ago and as far as I am aware, nothing has been changed.

I had ab account that I deleted. however the system still tries to log into the server to see if there are any new messages (for the deleted account). The account does not exist however and it cannot access the server so it hangs waiting for a response that can never come.

How can I stop Thunderbird from doing this?

I cannot send or receive emails from my laptop on [edited] @comcast.net nor [edited] @comcast.net. I can send and receive on my iPhone at [edited] @comcast.net and don't understand why. My primary password was corrupted in the breech I believe because I haven't forgotten it but it isn't being accepted. I believe the best way to solve is for a temporary primary password to be sent to [edited] @comcast.net or texted to me at [removed phone#] or mailed to me via overnight mail. This would allow me to regain control of both accounts. Nothing in the forum addresses this issue that I saw.

I have set up my own domain guytec.org using Namecheap. The alias for email is tguy. I have pointed this new email to my gmail address. I can receive emails into my thunderbird Gmail box from tguy@guytec.org. I want to write emails with sent from tguy@guytec.org showing? How??

not sure if this is where i should be but i tried the Thunderbird help and got no answer. After the most recent Thunderbird up date and a Thunderbird install over existing one when i go to my drafts folder and click on any draft or save message in there i get a yellow bar at the bottom of the page that i have never seen before . Now i do not want recreate a new profile and lose all my contacts book marks add on etc. how do i remove that yellow bar in Thunderbird mail

I know i have asked this already but i did not receive an answer of a solution and id really like someone to help me with this. It is a duplicate question but again no answer and id really like one . i want to remove it please do not tell me toget a new profile and lose everything i have. there has to be another way

Hola my support. Wenn I want to write a email, so klick on : file, new, messages, than nothing happens, the window is not actief, see the fotos. I do not know now what to do. I do get emails. Un saludo. Rene.

Whenever I open TB (115.10.1) new messages download. The problem is the newest message topic is in the Inbox list but it is hidden behind the column headings. I have to scroll the list down one message to see the newest message. Why is this?

In a recent email Thunderbird sees an HTML message as plain text, and does not decode it. The message is decoded by my phone using "Email - Fast & Secure Mail by Edison Software". See attached screenshot. Normally Thunderbird suceeds where phone apps fail.

All other HTML messages seem OK

</body> </html> =0A

Scenario: I have two E-Mails configured in thunderbird. For simplicity, let's assume they are: `alice@gmail.com` and `bob@cock.li` .

I have configured both via SMTP, and they are *totally different* SMTP servers (Gmail vs. cock.li)

If I compose a message from "alice@gmail.com" to "bob@cock.li", then when I reply from Bob's inbox in Thunderbird, everything is OK.

However, if I compose a message from "alice@gmail.com" to "bob.extra@cock.li", using the `.` alias feature of cock.li, then although Bob gets the message in his inbox, clicking "Reply" will actually set "From" as "alice@gmail.com" and "To" as "bob.extra@cock.li" !

To be very clear: this happens when clicking reply in Bob's inbox in Thunderbird.

I think this is a Thunderbird issue because:

• It happens even if I compose the E-Mail from Alice's webmail (i.e. Browser) (Note: Alice still exists in Thunderbird)
• It DOES NOT happen if Alice DOES NOT exist in Thunderbird
• It DOES NOT happen if I try and reply as Bob via cock.li's webmail (i.e. Browser)

My guess is somehow when Thunderbird sees both Alice and Bob as valid accounts in Thunderbird, but the recipient was an aliased version of Bob, it somehow gets confused.

Here are example received headers for an actual demo I tried. (poiasd@saxrag.com is main E-Mail, abuse@saxrag.com is an alias. poiasdpoiasd@cock.li is the sender)

Is there a way to search ALL emails for everything received in the last 1 day, last 3 days etc, whether or not the folder is subscribed?

I just had a big problem finding particular new emails. The reason was that that somehow the folder had got unsubscribed. This shocked me because I hadn't even realised I needed to subscribe to folders to search them.

In a practical sense the problem is therefore fully solved and all I need to do is to make sure I'm subscribed to everything. But I find it disturbing that anything could undermine the very simple search of what emails I received today. So I'd like to understand if there is indeed any way to see all of today's emails without any exception.

The search I was using was "Age in days in less than 2" and I was doing this both with "Run search on server" ticked and unticked. The emails are all there on the server, so surely there must be a way to see them in a raw naked state before they are sorted into folders? I guess the global search is able to do just that, but as far as I can see it doesn't seem able to search by any kind of date range (can filter but not search).

Shortly after the 115.10.1 update, I've noticed that emails are downloading, but either only a few show in the Inbox or none at all. I've never had this problem with Thunderbird before. Is there some invisible spam/junk folder that I'm unaware of?

I'm using POP with Dreamhost. Is anyone experiencing these disappearing emails?

I've been a Firefox fan for years. I thought I'd try Thunderbird. I'm in need of some help please as I'm going round in circles.

I am trying to link my btinternet email account to Thunderbird. Thunderbird cannot do it automatically so I have to enter the details manually.

I have all the right settings according to BT: Incoming POP 995, SSL enabled but not StartTLS. Outgoing Port 465, SSL enabled not StartTLS. mail.btinternet.com is used.

The User Name and Password are correct but Thunderbird cannot connect to the account. There are no Firewall issues.

Something is happening because BT have notified me of potential unauthorised access and I have to reset my BT password. Even when I enter the new BT Password Thunderbird cannot link to the account.

Any suggestions as to what might be causing the problem? Thanks.
