"Sending of password for user joebernard@verizon.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.verizon.net responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later"

^^This message comes up every time I try to send an email. It can be received outside of Thunderbird and to other addresses.

TSO Host migrated all my email accounts to a different server. All my emails have stopped downloading to Thunderbird. I cannot find a way to configure my TSO Host email accounts since they upgraded their servers to Cpanel deluxe yesterday and neither can anyone at TSO Host.

So... just upgraded to 115.12.2, and I'm seeing that the columns have been removed -- and I don't see a way to re-enable them!

So on the main view, we now have a line.... from address with subject below, and then to the far right, the date/time.

Is there no longer a view with columns that we could more easily see, sort, move, etc?!

Example of new view is attached.

I would like to set up an email account with a pen name that I am using as an author. Is there a way to do that without giving my actual credentials? Thanks for your kind attention.

I would like to know how I may transport Thunderbird from an old computer to a new without losing data. The old computer still is working. I do not have gmail, though I am considering going over to it.

Note: For some reason, I cannot check the box below, requesting that I receive an email when someone answers the thread. Please email me when someone answers the thread.

Dear

Subject to the following mail addresses: gunter.peeters@scarlet.be

We keep getting the following message when sending emails. An error occurred while sending email. The mail server replied: ip 213.49.30.104 blocked for relaying spam http://www.scarlet.be/pm/?e=f53&s=r&p=213.49.30.104. Please check if your email address is set correctly in your account settings and try again.

We are able to receive emails.

Is it possible to check this out?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards Gunter Peeters

When I wanted to add a new subfolder to an existing folder, I think I used to right click on the folder under which I wanted to create a new subfolder. A menu would pop up with a line about adding a new subfolder. Now that option no longer appears. What happened, and how can I fix this, or how do I add a subfolder now?

Hello! We are a real dues-paying member, having made a number of donations over the years. We have been having trouble with emails received from Microsoft-based systems, with the HTML formatting of messages getting lost and the attachment of a winmail.dat file, which we can't open. We tried to use your Lookout add-on, but with all of the permissions that must be given in order to use that add-on, it will not pass our IT security folks. Is there any chance you will be able to improve Thunderbird to read those messages without having to use the add-on? We really hate Microsoft, and would prefer to stay on your team, but we will not be able to unless a solution can be found.

Thanks! Mark

Despite literally hours of frustrating -- now infuriating -- effort, my inbox won't show "from," which was removed by the most recent update. Is this problem fixable? If so, how? (If not, I'm damn well going to dump Thunderbird.)

We have recently moved to a new mail server. We currently have about 20 Thunderbird email clients on Windows in an office location and a macOS home machine. On all machines email is configured to use IMAP on hostname.com port 993 SSL/TLS with Normal Password and SMTP on hostname.com port 465 SSL/TLS with Normal Password.

The home machine is working 100% with no issues, it does have a much faster and lower latency internet connection than the office machines.

Many of the office machines are experiencing intermitent SMTP error messages when sending, intermitent, "unable to save mail in the Sent folder of the Inbox", messages and intermitent unable to move messages between folders.

I have checked and double checked the settings on affected machines - however, I believe a settings issue would result in nothing working, not intermitent functionality. Plus all is working fine on the home machine with the same settings (different OS, but ports and security settings all dictated by server).

With one client behaving properly, the server likwise behaving properly when addressed by the working client and the intermitent nature of the problems we are finding, I suspect we have some sort of network issue. Somthing timing out or a firewall/AV software causing a delay.

I have increased mailnews.tcptimeout on affected machines to 250 based on a forum article but this has had no effect (No idea of units here but if it is seconde then I am not supprised - the SMTP errors, when they happen are almost instantanious).

Any ideas on how to trobleshoot this problem further - The problem seems to get worse through the day, although that may just be peoples tollerance of an intermitent issue going down.

In the past, I could click on an email address and drag it into a new subfolder I'd made (let's say for emails to a group about baking). Easy as pie!

Sorry for the bad pun.

Now, when I try to click and drag, it will NOT go into that subfolder. I looked in Help and there were answers about csv files, about a horizontal or vertical view, etc. None of that made sense to me.

So I'm wondering if it's still somehow an easy thing to do, to duplicate someone's email in one or more other folders. It seems like it should be! Thanks, Su

Hi There,

After installing the new thunderbird release 15.12.2, i started getting alot of duplicates. i was messing around in the thunderbird layout etc There was a report about a damaged mailbox, but not the inbox. i think i was behind on compacting. Then i realized most of inbox was gone !

i tried the repair suggested in Thunderbird properties on the message summary index file .msf when i first noticed problem, i made copies both inbox and .msf currently:

Inbox itself is ~2Gb, but  Inbox.msf file size is 0 

i have copy of the Inbox, but copy of Inbox.msf is gone...

i reinstalled the latest thunderbird. but didn't help.

I took the advice of @Toad-Hall and uninstalled the flatpak version of thunderbird, then installed the version available as an rpm via dnf/yum and that worked. Life is good.

i'm running windows on a bootcamped macbook pro, windows 10 home. did i install correct version ? any other ideas ?

i have used thunderbird for many years and appreciate you'all for keeping it going !

thanks, Kathy

At our clinic when we cannot answer client calls it goes to voicemail. The voicemail the should be sent to our email and transcribed, however it hasn’t been. It leaves us with the only option to play voicemails aloud while clients are going in and out of the lobby, which we find unprofessional. Please help us fix this!

All of a sudden I get: Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account

and so I have no access to my local folders where I store all my emails. Any ideas what has happened? And more importantly how I get back to my email interface on launch. Thanks in advance

I don't know my password to open my email, how do I find it? I have had my email account for years never needed to sign in and now I'm out, I need help I have a lot of important messages waiting.

I seem to have lost the search bar that allowed me to find certain emails in specific folders. I am now left with the one that searches all my email folders. Why? How do I get it back?

Thunderbird 115.6.1 (32-bit) on Win 10 and Win 11, local calendar, no email invites are sent to the listed Attendees. Correct email is entered on Calendar/Properties/Email and Notify attendees is ticked on New Event dialogue. Attendees are correctly entered under New Event/Invite Attendees. After clicking Save and Close, there is no Invitation email record in "Sent" emails and the Attendees do not receive email invitations. The event *is* saved in the originator's calendar.

The invites were correctly sent on the Win 10 PC up until TB version 113 (?), when they stopped working after the update (I think). Eventually email and calendar data were transferred to a fresh TB installation on a Win 11 PC, but the invites are still not sent.

The only difference that I can see between this non-email-invite-sending version of TB on a WIn 11 PC and another Win 10 PC where the invites are sent, is that "Troubleshooting Information/Force Email Scheduling" is set to true on the non-working version and is blank on the working one. Clues where to look next?
