Thunderbird Community Forum

Thunderbird administers my 7 "aol" email addresses (accounts) on my Dell laptop (running Windows 7). 5 of the accounts are behaving normally, but the other two accounts appear to be linked. So, when I send an email from one of them, it appears in both "sent" folders. When I receive an email in one of them, it appears in both "in box" folders. When I visit "mail.aol.com", these 2 accounts behave normally. So it appears that they are linked within Thunderbird. Can you suggest a possible solution? Thanks, Tim

First I am very frustrated that someone decided to change the default to show all messages in threads. How do I globally disable this for every profile on my system. Additionally how do I disable it in one pass for all top level folders at the moment I have to change one top level folder at a time on every system I use thunderbird on, as I have over 100 folders this is very inconvenient. How do I modify a new thunderbird installation so all users and profiles default to threads being turned off.

Cannot send or receive email all of sudden in Thunderbird. When I the click the messages icon, nothing happens, and I get "Could not connect to server mail.twc.com; the connection was refused". When trying to send a m,message I get "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.twc.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again." No settings were changed and everything was fine when I put the computer to sleep. This happens on both a Win 7 and 11 machine Email is a Time Warner (now Spectrum) Road Runner account (twc.com). Spent an hour with Spectrum, and they say this is a third party (Thunderbird) issue. A friend has the same setup, and is having the same problems that started at the same time. Win 11 version 150.02 Win 7 115.18.0 (latest available for win 7)

Appreciate any help....

When emails arrive it shows the number received in bold in my inbox. Since the last update instead of the new emails being listed at the top of my inbox they disappear. I then have to search through all the emails listed at the top of my inbox to find out if the new emails have been added to one of those. How do I get back to having all new emails listed at the top of my inbox.

Hello,

I was adjusting the width of the calendar list, and every time I clicked on the adjuster icon (that line and arrow that you slide to grow or reduce area), the line moved to the right automatically, until the line went to the far right side and all you see is the sidebar. I can't slide it back.

I have quit Thunderbird and re-launched, and also restarted the Mac. No change.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hi I regularly get a message popping up when I attempt to access my gmail emails in Thunderbird stating that there was an Authentication Failure while connecting to server imap.gmail.com. I cannot find a solution as to how I get over this error and could find nothing on the Thunderbird forum regarding this problem. Help! regards Eric Athroll
