Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi there I have been using Thunderbird for many years to manage the same many mail accounts on diverse PCs. I prefer using a portable version from portableapps.com, partly because when it comes to transferring to another gadget, it suffices just moving the portable folder, and I do not have to create dozens of accounts in a fresh install. Of late, I have been getting frequent irritating error messages for 2 Yahoo accounts. It connects to them & I can receive mail, but for automatic connections to the server in between, I keep getting error messages like: The current operation on 'inbox' did not succeed.' The mail account to abc@yahoo.com responded: p.', ... etc The other day, after reading about possible solutions from some forums, I decided to just delete both accounts and used the recommended Thunderbird connection settings for Yahoo to create the 2 accounts anew. I thought the problem was solved, only to have the same alerts every now & then reappearing, which amounts to a lot, if you have Thunderbird on many hours a day. I consistently update Thunderbird, the moment I'm alerted to a new version. I also have Gmail, Outlook, AOL(AIM) & other accounts, but not get similar issues. How do I permanently solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

Thunderbird will not let me move messages to the trash folder. If I do move a message to the trash bin the message will re-appear in the in-box. I have tried to follow the steps in the Mozilla support website but that did not work. When I try to delete a message I get the following:

The current operation on "inbox" did not succeed. The mail server for account rex@rexperry.com responded: [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX/ Trash (0.001+0.000 secs).

I am using an HP desktop machine running W11. This problem did not happen until I switched to the W11 machine.

Any suggestions? Thanks, Rex Perry rex@rexperry.com

ever since last update... can't send emails

Send Message Error Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: E5rTxqhwZYbiPE5rUxBTZm DMARC Policy Enforcement: https://postmaster.comcast.net/smtp-error-codes.php#ODM00001. Please check the message and try again.

I tried to add my Outlook account to Thunderbird, I entered my details and clicked Continue but it stuck in the "Looking up configuration" screen. I then tried doing manual configuration and entered outlook's IMAP and SMTP server but there's an error message that said "Failed logging in to server" and when I try again it became "Incoming server already exists." An OAuth2 popup appears only after I closed Thunderbird and since Thunderbird is already closed the address it's trying to return to (127.0.0.1:41003) is no longer monitored.

I like the new support for Outlook. Thank you very much. This was the first year that I did not spend >16 hours rebuilding accounts each January. It is also nice that this support automatically transfered incoming emails to the Local Inbox.

Just recently, Spectrum Internet dropped POP3 support and I was able to setup IMAP.

Gee, It would be nice if there was just one more checkbox in the Account Setup which would automatically transfer IMAP messages to the Local Inbox.

Can this be added to the wish list?

Thunderbird (157.0.1 (64-bit)) write toolbar missing.

All things are correctly configured, as mentioned in this article, and nothing is working in making the Write (Compose) Formatting toolbar appear again.

Everything is set to compose in HTML format and the keyboard commands mentioned in other articles and so forth do nothing.

Is is perhaps a corrupted profile setting file somewhere? Is there a Config Editor setting that needs to/can be changed ?

Please advise, soonest, thank you in advance.

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.twc.com timed out. Try again.

I moved some emails to a folder and they are not there. Tried to move last email to folder and it jumps back to my inbox. Also how do I access help in thunderbird?

Suddenly yesterday I no longer got the drop down box with my files to select, when I press "attach" or Ctrl, shift,A. I have turned the PC off a couple of times, and refresh Thunderbird but it still doesn't appear. Tried on my laptop and that works OK.

I am having constant problems for months now with Thunderbird freezing and message not responding. It appears to happen mostly when trying to empty deleted folder in block like 20 or more. If I deleted in blocks of four all is ok. As soon as I try to delete a larger amount at once it freezes and displays the message Thunderbird Not Responding. I have followed u tube videos to the letter to attempt repair with no success any ideas please?

Hello, I hope you are doing well.

I have asked a number of questions since starting with Thunderbird for Windows 11 a few months ago.

Is there a user manual somewhere? If not, it appears many of us would need one.

Please let us know where to find it or, if there isn't one yet, please create it.

Thank you in advance!

Hello, I am having an issue that Emails which are displayed in the reading area disapper for appr. 2 minutes. Afterwards they appear again. I have not been able to find out if this is a problem in Thunderbird, or if another application is causing this. I have read an article that Avast Antivirus is temporarily locking folders during scan. Maybe someone has had the same topic and can give me a hint where to search for the root cause. Thank you.

Here we go again,I was unable to send email from my yahoo,ca account. I managed to get a password form yahoo and when I re-logged in, all my folders have disappeared. They are still on the webmail version on yahoo.ca, I can now send email though How can I get them back as the folder that the email has: C:\Users\John\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\a51cb43e.default-release\ImapMail\imap.mail.yahoo-4.com Does not work

I also have Gmail issues for another time

Hello,

I hope you are doing well.

I have another issue with Thunderbird. It labels many legitimate emails as spam, and they stay in my inbox.

How can I search for and find these messages in order to remove the spam label?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I hope you're doing well.

I noticed that in Thunderbird, my Yahoo account has both a Bulk and a Junk Spam folder. My Yahoo account online and in the app only shows one Spam folder for all such messages.

How can I ensure that I only have a single Spam folder, as is normal? I want to keep mail organization as simple as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am trying to import all my emails from Yahoo to GMX and would appreciate your guidance on how to successfully complete this process. I have an existing account with both Yahoo and GMX. I have attempted to use the GMX import feature but have encountered some issues. It would be helpful to understand if there are specific steps or settings I need to follow to ensure a smooth transfer of my emails. Additionally, if there are any limitations or troubleshooting tips that I should be aware of, I would love to hear them. Thank you for your assistance.
