My password is not being accepted, so I'm not getting my mail. For quite awhile my password would sometimes not be accepted for sending email, but now it's for everything. How can I fix this?

Just installed the latest 139 version on two computers, the system tray icon for unread messages appears in Windows 10, but not in Windows 11, and it isn't just 'hidden' as I have many icons hidden and just a few visible and have already checked that. Is the icon no longer part of the program?

15.18.0 how to export to mobile from settings in the desktop thunderbird so i can use my android phone--if it will help, on my desktop there is no Export to mobile in settings!!!!!!!

Is there a way to locate the empty "Inbox" In the TB folders and delete it from there?

I can't see them in any sub, and "Inbox.sbd" is empty 🤷

( TB folders are located on a local Disk, managed by Dropbox. Also doing Cloud BKP)

how can I copy my encrypted gmail passwords so that I can use it to sign into my Thunderbird gmail accounts to send and receive email using the Thunderbird app? Thunderbird has now decided that the passwords I have used for years to sign into my two gmail accounts are not valid. Think Tbird wants the encrypted version of each password, but don't know how to figure out what that is. Not listed in the encrypted version in my Tbird saved passwords.My other accounts continue to work well with Thunderbird. I havve many folders that I do NOT want to lose i I have to delete and then reestablish those two accounts, but the copy/move to another folder on my laptop will not work. Nothing happens when I try to follow the instructions. Please help!!

I'm in the process of cleaning up Thunderbird e-mail before moving to a new computer. I started with 11,593 e-mails in my Inbox and 7,799 e-mails in my Sent folder. I'm now down to 7,634 in my Inbox and 4,965 in my Sent folder. I've allocated 2 weeks for this process and found that it's taking me about 3 hours per day to meet my daily goals. I'm finding that I'm spending at LEAST half the time responding to "Empty-Trash/Compact-folders" requests. There are times I can delete 50 e-mails at a time without getting a request. Other times I will try to delete ten e-mails and get the request. With the old version of Thunderbird I could literally delete hundreds of e-mails at a time. Can you help? Russ Bukwa Yardley, PA ps. I have intentionally given you specific numbers. Based on my software- and test-engineering experience, I speculate you need to create a stress test to solve this nagging problem.

I use Thunderbird on my desktop and laptop, both Windows 7, with 3 Gmail accounts. Recently I started having problems with one account on the laptop but not on the desktop. Settings for all 3 accounts are/were identical. I deleted the one account and tried to add it again: with following error message:

     "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, usrname or password.

I then added account manually without a password. I cannot access the email account and dont get an option to enter password and error is:

    "Sending of the message failed.
     The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) .gmail.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."

Yes SMTP setting is correct

This message also pops up:

    "Authentication failure while connecting to server imap.gmail.com"

I have no problem accessing all 3 email accounts on my desktop or phone either Please assist

Re: 128.11.1 esr (32-bit) Curiously, without settings having been changed and only since last 2-3 updates, my unified inbox listing comcast.net and netscape.net mail will not show the netscape.net incoming unless it is actually READ in its separate inbox. Periodically, duplicate messages do now appear, but without the new, un-opened netscape mail. This duplication is corrected by exiting the app then re-starting it, but the new mails still are not listed in the combined unified format, nor are they, for that matter, in the ALL format. Wassup wit dat?

I have two issues that are related to a buggy interaction between Thunderbird and Microsoft's email server.

Issue (1) When I send an email with my Outlook email address (from the Android app or from outlook.live.com, but not Thunderbird), my email address shows up as a jumbled mess in the sent folder on Thunderbird.

It appears to the effect of

IMCEAEX-_O=FIRST+20ORGANIZATION_OU=EXCHANGE+20ADMINISTRATIVE+20GROUP+XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX+29_CN=RECIPIENTS_CN=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX@sct-XX-XX-XXXX-X-msonline-outlook-6f06c.templateTenant

(I have masked some potentially sensitive information).

In the sent folder on my Outlook Android app, my email address looks normal. It also looks fine on a browser in outlook.live.com. However, it's in the sent folder on Thunderbird that my email address is a mess.

Issue (2) When my Outlook email address is involved, the sending and receiving email addresses in the "correspondent" field are swapped in Thunderbird.

There are a couple situations where this swap happens:

1. Sending an email with my Outlook email account (either through the Android app or outlook.live.com, but not Thunderbird). In my Outlook sent folder on Thunderbird, the "correspondent" field shows my jumbled email address and not the receiving address, such as bob@gmail.com. Likewise, In the inbox of the receiving email account (such as bob@gmail.com) on Thunderbird, the "correspondent" field shows bob@gmail.com and not my Outlook email address.
2. Sending an email with any other account in Thunderbird to my Outlook email address. In my Outlook inbox on Thunderbird, the "correspondent" field shows my Outlook email address (this time unjumbled) and not the sending email address. However, in the sent folder of the sending email account in Thunderbird, the "correspondent" field shows up correctly (i.e., my Outlook email address).

These two issues are perplexing and probably related. Thank you for any help!

hello I left account A (Google) and I am mainly using account B (Google) now. However, when I search for the mail of account A, it only shows the result, but after clicking it, it shows that there is no mail. How can I recover it? This is because the most important mail is in account A. PLEASE HELP ME....

I love Thunderbird, I think it is an excellent product all round, but one thing that really, really niggles me is that it continually marks certain senders as junk.

I receive Emails from these senders all the time, and often miss Emails because Thunderbird has marked them as junk, and moved them to the Junk folder, which means I don't see them on my mobile devices (IMAP).

I've marked this sender as "Not Junk" at least a thousand times. Each time it accepts my tag, and moves the Email back to the Inbox. However, that doesn't last, as the next Email, or the one after, or the one after that, ends up in Junk again.

I've seen a few posts that protest - this is not Thunderbird's fault, it's your Email provider, but I've already crossed that one off the list as I have white listed the entire domain at the Email provider. So nothing is getting flagged from the Email provider, to hint that it might be junk.

I'm always on the latest version of Thunderbird, and I have adaptive junk filter logging enabled, but it is completely empty of any logs. I also have "Do not automatically mark mail as junk if the sender is in "collected addresses" & "personal address book". I have a number of entries from this domain in the personal address book, as well as *.@domain-name.com, though I'm not sure if that format is correct to capture the entire domain.

Any help on this matter, gratefully received.

Hello!

We use some filters in thunderbird to manage messages redirection to other mail-boxes. When message body contains any image, it disappears after redirection via filter rule.

When you forward same message to the same person by hands - works great, nothing is missing.

Can you help with any suggests / advises for thunderbird client config to fix this?

We use Thunderbird 115.5.0 (64-bit).

Thank you.

I know this question has been asked before, but haven't been able to resolve the issue - I have in my Trash folder, the Spam and Draft folders there, no idea how they got there. I use multiple computers and have the same issue on all. I am running Thunderbird 128.11.1esr (64 bit) on my desktop, which is Linux Mint.

If there are any suggestions on how to move the folders back to their original location, would be good, unless I have to now live with it.

Thanks, V1King

I'm hoping to find some syntax documentation and/or information on how to do more complex searching within Thunderbird.

I've seen references to some basic multipart searching capabilities. (ie. placing scott "tuesday night" in the search field would result in a list of emails containing both of those criteria.)

But I'm looking for even more such as placing scott "tuesday night" folder:inbox, which would allow me to narrow down that search to JUST the inbox, not any and all folders below it.

Thanks in advance,

Chris

On my new laptop (Acer Aspire) I set up my gmail account without a problem, but T-bird will not set up my business account (on my domain, hosted by midphase/stackmail). I used all the settings from my t-bird account on my old laptop, but nothing I try works. I get a yellow box with the message "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password". I also tried lettting Thunderbird find the settings; they didn't work either.

What next?
