Thunderbird-mienskipsfoarum

Bonjour, Depuis quelques jours , sans avoir modifié les paramètres de ma messagerie sur thunderbird, il m'est impossible d'envoyer des messages depuis mon PC; le message dit: " Sender address rejected; not logged in. veuillez vérifier que votre adresse e-mail dans les paramètres de compte est correcte. Mon adresse est juste. Merci de m'aider à régler ce problème. AL

I upgraded yesterday from Linux Mint 20.3 to Linux Mint 21 with Thunderbird 115.18.0. Since then whenever I open an email the window is at top left of the screen and is partially obscured. I can move it easily, but new messages always default to the top left position, unlike the Thunderbird in Mint 20.3 where new messages defaulted to the last used position. Can I change this behaviour?

I am attempting to log in to a new Mozilla Thunderbird account. I am being asked to log in with Google. (I would rather not.) When I attempt to log in WITH Google credentials, I get the message above; PAGE SIZE Pop up from Google "That's an error" "That's all we know." I cannot proceed. I cannot clear the pop up without restarting.

That's it.

Thanks for your help.

My email is no longer working. Is this a Comcast. net problem or a Thunderbird problem? You have me in your database per my original set-up which is still correct. Can the issue be due to ne update requirements?

Thunderbird will not start because the first visible startup action is the popup window: "Please enter your Primary Password". Unable to create a password for the initial,first time re-start of Window if on old machine, option was to avoid this. How to fix? ...so I can set and set and use it.

As of yesterday, 3/18/25, I can no longer dismiss or pause and calendar notifications. The drop down works but the dismiss or pause doesn't work. All I can do is close the Window. This seemed to start after a Microsoft update/restart. Gee, who'd a thunk it? Jeff

I've just resumed using Thunderbird, with a new installation on a new computer, after a long period of having only my ISP's web interface. I'm having a problem with adaptive junk filtering: it thinks everything is junk until I tell it otherwise.

By default, it leaves putative junk messages in the Inbox, but displays a yellow ribbon above a junk message's preview with "Learn more" and "Not junk" buttons. In this configuration, having it assume everything new is junk is just a nuisance.

But eventually I will finish training it, and I'll want it to move junk to the Junk folder automatically. Then this behavior will be a disaster.

Using made-up numbers to illustrate, suppose I get 1000 messages per day. Of these, 998 are from addresses it recognizes, so it knows that 993 of them are junk and 5 are legitimate, because I've received email from those addresses before, and I've told it what to do with them. That leaves 2 messages which may or may not be junk.

It should leave those messages in the Inbox, preferably with some kind of warning, and let me decide whether they are junk or not. Instead it's going to move them to Junk, and I'll never know I got them unless I review all 995 new messages in the Junk folder... which would defeat the whole point of having a junk filter.

Is there a way to make the junk filter default to "not junk" when it doesn't know? I've looked at the configuration dialog, and I don't see one.

I use an AOL email account and Thunderbird on my Mac. In Thunderbird, the junk mail folder - which AOL call "Bulk Mail" for some reason - has moved to the Trash folder and I can't get it out. It's a Thunderbird problem - if I go onto my account at AOL.com, everything is normal. How do I get it out? I've tried cutting and pasting it, creating a new folder...nothing seems to work. I don't want to empty the trash in case I no longer have a junk folder at all

I some how lost or can not get into my email account On Thunderbird or xfinity using mdm54@comcast.net. I somehow messed up my computer and can not sign in say i need to follow and get permission from my primary which i have but can not sign in.Every time i try to sign in to any thing i get either noting or forget the passwords am truely upset and missing my mail please see what you can do if aything I have no idea what to do thanks

A calendar item with reminders will not edit or delete. This repeatedly pops up reminders days after the event. No, the "Read Only" box in Calendar Settings is not checked (refers to a similar fault reported by someone 9 years ago!). The calendar is tied to my Google calendar, and it is NOT present there, having been deleted.

My Thunderbird client has stopped receiving more messages. The size of the inbox is 4.5. Is there a limit on the inbox size? If so can it be increased?

Thanks

Hi,

I put some messages into folders yesterday and then created another folder and dragged the first folder into it to become a subfolder.

When I did this, I saw the new folder but it couldn’t be expanded to show the subfolders.

All other mail clients showed the correct hierarchy except Thunderbird.

Why is this happening?

Secondly, I post comments on the thunderbird blog regularly but they never show up. Where are they disappearing to? Are you receiving them?

[The documentation](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-where-thunderbird-stores-user-data#w_finding-your-profile-without-opening-thunderbird) says that my profile should be at `home/[user]/.thunderbird`. It is not there.

In settings the "Open Directory" button does nothing (cursor spins and then nothing happens).

In `about:profiles` I see the profile listed at `/home/[user]/.thunderbird/[XXX]`. That folder does not exist (so far as I can tell (I have hidden files turned on). The _Local Directory_ version _does_ exist (`/home/[user]/.var/app/org.mozilla.Thunderbird/cache/thunderbird/[XXX]`)

What's going on? Am I doing something wrong?

I previously posted [launch Thunderbird on one Mac user account] and the solution by @DavidGG worked then. But it isn't working this time. So I really need to know what file triggers the Thunderbird Install Helper dialog on macOS.

Here are the steps for the current situation:

Steps: 1. On user 2, launch Thunderbird. 2. Get the dialog that there's an update to 128.8.0esr. 3. Click the Restart to update button. 4. Get the dialog that there's an update to 128.8.0esr. 5. Click the Restart to update button. 6. Get the dialog to enter admin ID and password for installing the Thunderbird helper. 7. Enter the admin ID and password and click OK.

Expected result: Thunderbird relaunches, now with 128.8.1esr. Actual result: Get the dialog to enter admin ID and password for installing the Thunderbird helper.

10. Log off user 2 and log on to user 1.

Here is where I did something different from the previous issue. Last time I deleted Thunderbird and re-installed it. This time I did the upgrade.

11. On user 1, launch Thunderbird. 12. Get the dialog that there's an update to 128.8.0esr. 13. Click the Restart to update button. 14. Get the dialog that there's an update to 128.8.0esr. 15. Click the Restart to update button. 16. Get the dialog to enter admin ID and password for installing the Thunderbird helper. 17. Enter the admin ID and password and click OK.

Expected and actual result: Thunderbird launches and I can use it normally.

18. Log out of user 1 and log into user 2. 19. Launch Thunderbird

Expected result: Thunderbird launches and I can use it normally. Actual result: Get the dialog to enter admin ID and password for installing the Thunderbird helper.

I'm guessing there's some manner of residual file that's preventing Thunderbird from launching on user 2. I've verified Thunderbird is in the system's Application folder and not in user 1's files.

So I continued with the recommended remediation from the previous issue:

20. Trash ~/Library/Thunderbird 21. Launch Thunderbird

Expected result: Thunderbird launches and I can proceed recover profiles.ini and the Profiles folder from the trash Actual result: Get the dialog to enter admin ID and password for installing the Thunderbird helper.

How do I clear the pending install from user 2 so that Thunderbird will launch for user 2? What is the specific file or code line that triggers the request to install the helper?

(Yes, I did move my files back out of the trash so I don't lose them. I also have a TimeMachine backup.)

I suppose I could totally re-install Thunderbird like I did the other time, but I'm hoping for a less time-intensive solution. I guess I could also dust off my old programming skills and dive into the source code - an advantage of Open Source - but it's not a strength for me and Thunderbird is coded in a language I'm not fluent in.

my old email was stolen and i cant get my emails on gmail and where can i learn how to remove old emails and add new email client
