I'm using a mailbox.org account with TB. I'm receiving messages from it, so I'm logged in, but TB keeps asking me every so often to login again, and it has three popups in a row each time. How do I turn this off?

I'm running the current 157.0.1 release on Windows 11, and specifically am having my emails from the AP be sent to spam even though I have a specific filter set to tag them. I feel as if the filter itself is set up properly because when I manually run it the messages will be moved from the spam folder to the inbox and tagged accordingly.

The one thing sticking out to me is these emails are being forwarded through my relay account. I've tried changing the filter to work based on the relay address, but again it only works when I manually run it. I've also tried setting the filter to run both before "and" after spam classification, but neither option works. Ideally the filter would work without me having to go to my spam and run it, and even then I'm wondering why the spam filter hasn't learned by now that those email belong in my inbox.

I'd appreciate any help or solutions; I'm not an email power user or networking wiz though so please try to keep it as dumbed down for me as possible!

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 have created an IMAP folder and set the Retention Policy to "Delete all but the most recent 10 messages".

When I copy in 10 messages from this month and 1 message from 5 months ago, in that order, one of the messages from this month is subsequently deleted by the retention policy, rather than the oldest message by date.

I am having trouble finding documentation on what should be the expected behaviour. Should I expect messages to be deleted oldest to newest by message date, or deleted according to the order they are copied to the IMAP folder as seems to be the case?

I did a routine update a day or two ago. Since then I can no longer attach files to emails. Has a setting changed? If so, can you let me know how I can restore this function? Many thanks, Mark N

Thunderbird Mail Accounts Not Imported from 5 GB Backup

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to restore my Thunderbird setup from a 5 GB backup/export file.

Thunderbird already recommended that I manually extract the backup file and then import the extracted folder. I followed these instructions, but after importing the folder, none of my mail accounts are restored.

The backup file is about 5 GB in size, so I assume the data is there, but Thunderbird does not recognize or restore the email accounts.

Has anyone experienced this issue? How can I properly restore the mail accounts and their emails from this backup?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

I hope you're doing well.

I have noticed that Thunderbird forces me to click a drop arrow to view my messages in every single folder, as shown in the screenshot. I do not want this.

How can I set Thunderbird to automatically show all emails in my folders?

Thank you in advance!

Since the Thunderbird update of 30 Sept the ability to attached files to my emails has 'vanished'. I press the attach 'button' but there is no response. Never had this as a problem before. I am running Windows 11 home version. Help!

Norton 360 email protection is blocking access to "inbound.att.net" server and indicates that "Trust for (digicert global g2 tls rsa sha256 2020 ca1) has been revoked".

I disabled Norton's email protection feature, which allows me to connect to the inbound server.

I have attempted to run the Certificate Import tool, but the Norton's error reporter persists.

Who's problem is this? The certificate issuer or is Norton in error. I plan to open a case with Norton pending your response. ' Thanks

Hello, I retired in June. I asked my employer to allow me to archive my emails before they deactivated my work account. The Director of IT has been very helpful in recommending various apps that can do that. One was enormously expensive. One archived all my emails together (29K) and it is very difficult to locate one separately. The IT Director has also recommended Thunderbird. I have downloaded it but am having difficulty using it. I have saved all my emails using Google Takeout and the emails are saved in an mbox format. If you could help me get started with making sure the Thunderbird default settings are correct, placing the emails into Thunderbird and showing me how to access certain emails (and delete ones I don't need to save), I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you, Susan Hook

Thunderbird (Mozilla?) rejects electronic issues of monthly Consumer Reports with the error message that the HTML format is invalid. Is this fixable, or must I change to another email client? Mike McClellan, [redacted @verizon.netemail from community support forum]

Greetings,

I perform a daily thumb drive backup of Thunderbird in the event that my PC crashes (which it has) so I don't loose emails and contacts. I'm aware of two methods to do this. I've tried both, and one method saves more file folders than the other. My question is: Which is correct to use?

One method is described here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-export The other method is accessed from the main page of Thunderbird: Import/Export > Backup, select OK and then the location and folder where you want the data to be transferred.

The first method captures four main folders and other files listed below them. The second method captures ten folders and all of the same files as in the first method.

Because they are different, I'm unsure of which to use and, additionally, why would two methods be offered?

Thank you in advance for your comments and advice.
