Forum d’assistance Thunderbird

I have been using Thunderbird for probably greater than 15 years (back when I was in college). The last couple of years I have noticed an issue of when deleting multiple emails that has gotten progressively worse, where the entire application will hang in "Not Responding". For a test, I just deleted a batch of emails from the last month (newsletters, notifications, etc), it was 113 messages, and froze the application for more than six minutes. This was on my hotmail account but the same happens for my other accounts as well (all configured as IMAP). The issue has persisted through uninstall/reinstalls and even across a replacement computer. No extensions are installed.

Any thoughts?

I always use Mozilla Thunderbird for email. Today, it would not send outgoing email. Any email gives me a failed message: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Spam detected by content scanner. Message rejected (ID 665754780026FB52). Please check the message and try again."

My ISP insists the problem is not with their server, and I need to have Mozilla correct it.

Dear Thunderbird Support Team,

I hope this message finds you well.

We used Thunderbird for our email services. As part of our current operations, we need to access the past email history of Don, a former employee whose email address was don@polytechfibers.com.

Don has since left the company, but it is crucial for us to retrieve his past emails. Could you please assist us in accessing his email data?

If you need any further information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for your assistance and cooperation.

Please reply to josh@polytechfibers.com

Best regards,

Hi I keep getting this error I know for a fact my password is correct, i can sign into hotmail.com just fine.

Why do I keep getting this popup?

Hello, Recently I was migrated from Cox email to Yahoo mail and had to change my setting on Thunderbird. The emails work fine, but there seems to a lot of missing folders. I tried to look for the latest backup file, but it does not exist. The latest backup I have is of the year 2022.

Kindly assist me in retrieving my lost folders.

p.s I have searched for the folders under the default profile section but they do not exist.

Hi When I send an email they are not going into my "sent" box. They are going into a folder with both my email account addresses i.e. if i send an email from my email account sandy.bell3@bigpond.com it goes into a folder of that email name & the same for my business email account it goes into a folder named csb.wandpc@bigpond.com which came up that obviously was created by you. I would prefer them to go into my proper "sent" folder. How do we fix this. Many thanks. Sandy

TB 115.11.0 (64-bit, W10). ABOUT shows 115.11.1 avail. Selecting WHATS NEW gives a "Welcome to Thunderbird Daily page" with some warnings and other links, etc. Going to Release Notes (for 115.11.0) then "See all releases" shows a link for 115.11.1, but when selected, missing page.

My email address is [edited] @roadrunner.com Since early May, I haven't been able to get emails because I keep getting asked for a master password. I don't know it - I don't remember ever having to create one. Please help.

Good morning, I would like to ask you about differencies (0 messages vs. 4 message) in search in TB vs. Outlook. Please see in attachment. Can you help me with this problem pls? I use IMAP settings in both email clients. BR Tibor

I was able to use items saved in my template file yesterday. This morning there are ZERO saved templates. I recreated 1, but I had 50+. Am I out of luck retrieving, and if yes, is there a way to stop this in the future?

In earlier version of Thunderbird I could type in the name of a sub folder address book, Thunderbird would recognize it and add all the entries automatically. Now, in the new improved version, this doesn't happen and the only way I can see of adding the names is to manually select and add all the members of the book. Is there a way of getting Thunderbird to add the sub folder members automatically as before?

Shaw e-mail has stopped working after years without issues on T-Bird. (G-mail still works) I use Shaw.ca e-mail, and recently have been getting a pop up error message. the error message reads 'The IMAP server imap.shaw.ca does not support the selected authentication method. Please change the Authentication method in the Account Settings Server Settings'. I have read online that the AuthO2 method is upposed to work, but it does no. Acckk - help anyone?

Hello, Thank you for helping me with my email problem today. The issue that I am having is that whenever I try to send email from 2 - of my 3 - email addresses I get the following error messages-

Message from electric@triad.rr.com email.

""electric@triad.rr.com sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth.. Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500. Please verify that your email address is correct in your accound settings and try again.""

message from aristot@triad.rr.com email.

""aristot@triad.rr.com sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth.. Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500. Please verify that your email address is correct in your accound settings and try again.""

I did read and try the various suggestions that this forum made to someonme in reference to a similar problem. The emails did appear to match in settings for SMTP and I think I temporarily turned off my virus protection software. However none of these actions have solved my problem.

If someone would please make some more recommendations I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,

Basic UI: my wife had three message windows showing but not the main inbox. This is running on a Mac. Cmd-1 in any of the windows did NOT display the Inbox. AND THERE AREN'T ANY MENU OPTIONS THAT ARE APPARENT TO BRING UP THE MAIN WINDOW! What?! Can someone tell me how I'm supposed to bring up the main window with my message list if it isn't already showing? (And please don't tell me to go to Settings. That worked, indirectly, but it's the least intuitive approach I think I've ever seen.)

Seriously, this was frustrating and embarrassing, since I recommended Thunderbird to her.

I use the search feature a lot, and it's extremely annoying that every time after the search I have to click "Show results as list" in order to get a proper view of the search results. The default view is quite poor in my opinion.

The question is: why isn't there an option to show the search results as a list by default?

It would surely be a very, very easy feature to implement, and as I was googling for this, I noticed that users have been asking for this for YEARS now. Why on earth hasn't it been implemented?
