I am unable to send e-mails! I get the message "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <susann.mitchell@community-resource.org.uk> too many recipients in last hour.

Please check the message recipient "susann.mitchell@community-resource.org.uk" and try again."

This has only occurred in the last two days and I have not changed any settings. One day working - next not working!!! How do I get back to normal operation, please? Roy

I am having issues with Thunderbird accessing emails from Comcast.net. This issue started over the past weekend. Nothing has changed with our Comcast setup or our Thunderbird setup. Please advise.

Thanks. Sam Orner

As of a couple of days ago I cannot add new events to my calendar on Thunderbird email. I can enter events to edit them but the changes do not show and I cannot move events around either. I have checked and none of the calendars are read only. This is a shared calendar but the other user has no problems editing or adding events, although i cannot see the changes they make.

Hi everyone, I use Thunderbird with the integrated calendar extension to invite people to meetings. Within Thunderbird, the message and invitation arrive just fine: you can read everything when the email arrives in the normal message area. However, when I send the invitation to clients using Outlook, they only see an empty email with the option to accept the invitation (or not). Once they accept, the email disappears from their inbox (which is probably a different problem). More importantly, when they open the appointment in their calendar, they have to click on an attachment before they see the description (i.e. the link to an online meeting).

It seems that the invitation sent by Thunderbird is not fully integrated.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Looking forward to your response,

somehow i messed up my computer and lost my access to my thunderbird email through comcast. I can not get into thunderbird firefox or Xfinity as i can not get into mdm54@comcast.net. I amusing a gmail account right now please answer with the email you hve here Marytheknees @gmail .com

I use an AOL email account and Thunderbird on my Mac. In Thunderbird, the junk mail folder - which AOL call "Bulk Mail" for some reason - has moved to the Trash folder and I can't get it out. It's a Thunderbird problem - if I go onto my account at AOL.com, everything is normal. How do I get it out? I've tried cutting and pasting it, creating a new folder...nothing seems to work. I don't want to empty the trash in case I no longer have a junk folder at all

I changed my password on e-mail provider server. Mail works fine via browser, but i can't send and obtain any e-mails via Thunderbird. I have changed password but it doesn't work. Piotr

I received a PGP-encrypted e-mail which is just showing the encrypted text in mail preview and also in a separate mail window; it is not getting auto-decrypted, even though the correct key is present in the OpenPGP key management. I have this same behavior on two different setups on Linux Mint 21.1 Vera. Once I reply to the e-mail, the original message gets decrypted in the reply message, but not in the original.

I've got another setup on MacOS, same Thunderbird version, which also does not auto-decrypt the message, but in message preview provides a button "Decrypt" which does the job. But this button is missing in the Linux configs.

All setups have the correct PGP Key configured.

Any hint to resolve the issue is highly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

My thunderbird account showing 78% full even I have deleted many mails, from Deleted folder also. Out of 15 Gb, I have only used 2.2MB storage of google drive and my account is not a google account. Can someone please help me to fix this, Thank you

Unable to open the summary file for [Gmail]/Sent Mail on myemail@gmail.com. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long.

I am plagued with this error message on various accounts. The folders have opened before and it exists on the Gmail website application.

The SSD is fine with plenty of available space. Over twice needed by the system.

The profile folder is 65GB. Can Thunderbird handle that much data storage?

I use Outlook on Thunderbird. If I log in to Outlook using a browser and send an email. Then I check the email in Thunderbird's Outbox, the sender is not my own email address, but a string of characters starting with "IMCEAEX-_O" If I send an email through Thunderbird, the sender can be displayed normally.

mailcow just got keycloak oauth2 support. Does thunderbird work with keycloak oauth2?

https://mailcow.email/posts/2023/mailcow-idp/ - or is work maybe ongoing on that and there's a ticket I can track?

This is a strange issue. I've been using Thunderbird for over 15 years, and today, while working with a client, I attempted to click "New Event," but it was greyed out. After ending the call, I started troubleshooting.

Steps I’ve Taken:

• Re-added all existing accounts—no change.
• Tried adding a fresh calendar—received a strange error (which I didn’t copy) about encryption or a "request missing required authentication credential."
• Uninstalled Provider for Google Calendar and removed all accounts.
• Same authentication error—Google sign-in system wouldn't appear.
• Searched Google for recent similar issues—nothing in the past 30 days, nothing within the past year.
• Restarted my computer.
• Was able to re-add all accounts, but nothing is syncing.
• At this point, I’m completely baffled. No system changes have been made. I'm running Windows 10 with the latest version of Thunderbird and its extensions. My system clock and timezone are correct.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

links in Thunderbird open in MS Edge even though Google Chrome is my default browser...cannot find any setting to overcome this...recently refreshed windows 10 have looked everywhere....

Thunderbird will not start because the first visible startup action is the popup window: "Please enter your Primary Password". Unable to create a password for the initial,first time re-start of Window if on old machine, option was to avoid this. How to fix? ...so I can set and set and use it.

I accidentally selected "view" instead of "delete" for ~300 messages. On restart T-bird crashes before displaying the Inbox. I cannot now view any old messages. Is there a way to stop T-bird from trying to view the ~300 messages? Thanks.

Thunderbird generated a crash report but did not send it. I got "There was a problem submitting your report"

My Thunderbird client has stopped receiving more messages. The size of the inbox is 4.5. Is there a limit on the inbox size? If so can it be increased?

Thanks
