Dear Support Team / Mail Administrator, I am requesting urgent assistance to force-stop an email forwarding loop and mitigate server load caused by a misconfigured filter in Thunderbird. • Affected Account: [redacted]@leadit.co.kr

[What Happened] I accidentally set up and manually executed ("Run Now") the following two rules under the Tools > Message Filters menu in Thunderbird: • Rule 1: Forward all incoming emails to an external email address. • Rule 2: Copy/Move all outgoing emails back to my Inbox.

[Current Issue & Loop Mechanism] Although I have already disabled these filters in Thunderbird, a massive infinite loop is currently running on the server: 1. When a mail is forwarded externally (Rule 1), it is recognized as a sent email. 2. This sent email is then copied back to my Inbox (Rule 2). 3. The new email in the Inbox triggers the external forward again (Rule 1), creating an endless loop. The external email address is continuously flooded with forwarded messages, and I am highly concerned about local storage capacity issues and overall mail server overload.

[Requested Actions] Could you please urgently take the following administrative actions on the mail server? 1. Force-stop/kill any active mail processing or rules related to [redacted]@leadit.co.kr. 2. Clear the outbound mail queue for this account to stop further external forwarding. Thank you for your immediate and urgent attention to this matter.

I have now the version 158.01 (64-bit) with Windows 11. My Gmail account only dowloads email like once a day. The server settings are: -Check for new messages at startup -Check for new messages every 10 minutes This started a few days ago, while I had the version 158.00. I have many accounts on Thunderbird, and re-installing all of them would be time consuming. Any suggestion?

- Thunderbird 158.0.1 on Mac. - Three Yahoo accounts: one sends successfully; two fail. - Sending and receiving work through Yahoo’s website and my iPhone. - Error: 550 Invalid mail from. - The error persists in Troubleshoot Mode, and the log doesn’t show the sender address. This happened after latest update Thank you

I have just tried to look at my emails as I usually do and been stopped by google wanting a lot of information and for me to accept a lot of rules.Why does Google have a finger in everything when i thought I was dealing with Mozilla Firefox?

Hello,

I cannot send email from my personal Outlook.de account in Thunderbird, although receiving email works. Sending email from the same account through Outlook.com in a web browser also works.

This is a personal Microsoft account, not a business or school account. I do not have access to an Exchange Online or Microsoft 365 administration console.

Environment: - Thunderbird version: 158.0.1 (the version reported when troubleshooting started) - Operating system: Windows 11 - Email provider: Outlook.com / Outlook.de

Outgoing server settings: - Server: smtp-mail.outlook.com - Port: 587 - Connection security: STARTTLS - Authentication method: OAuth2 - Username: full Outlook.de email address

OAuth2 was already configured before the problem was investigated.

When I try to send an email, Thunderbird displays an authentication failure. A Microsoft sign-in page briefly opens and closes, after which the same error appears again.

The Thunderbird Error Console reports:

mailnews.smtp: Command failed: 535 Authentication unsuccessful, SmtpClientAuthentication is disabled for the Mailbox.

It also shows:

currentAction=_actionAUTH_XOAUTH2

A second entry reports:

mailnews.smtp: Authentication failed: Authentication unsuccessful, SmtpClientAuthentication is disabled for the Mailbox.

Troubleshooting already performed: 1. Verified the SMTP server, port, STARTTLS, OAuth2 and username. 2. Removed the saved Microsoft/Outlook authentication entries for this account. 3. Completely closed and restarted Thunderbird, then retried authentication and sending. 4. Checked the cookie exceptions list: no exceptions were present. 5. Confirmed that sending through Outlook.com in a browser works.

Removing the saved authentication entries and signing in again did not resolve the issue.

My questions: - Is this a known issue with personal Outlook.com/Outlook.de accounts? - Is there any supported Thunderbird-side fix for this specific server response? - Is a different supported account connection method available for this personal account that does not depend on SMTP AUTH? - If Microsoft must change something on the server side, what exactly should I ask Microsoft Support to investigate?

I have found Microsoft's documentation about enabling SMTP AUTH in Exchange Online, but its administrator instructions do not apply to my personal Outlook.de account.

I can provide a screenshot of the Thunderbird Error Console.

Thank you for your help.

I am using Thunderbird as an email client. I have the option set to normally send emails as plain text. If I receive an email that is formatted and then reply, the email is composed as unformatted. I wan the reply to be formatted.

Is there anyway Thunderbird can detect formatting and automatically format the reply the same as received?

How can I reply to an already formatted email so that the reply is formatted?

I have noticed that Thunderbird has been very slow and glitchy very recently.

Some messages take ages to load. Sometimes the whole program hangs and becomes unresponsive.

I've been using Thunderbird for my POP3 accounts on Windows 10 for years. I'm now trying to install Thunderbird on a new Mac Mini (M6) running MacOS 27. In the Thunderbird setup, I go straight to Manual Configuration and select POP3. This takes me to a screen that allows me to configure one POP3 account plus an SMTP server. I enter the exact same configuration info that I use for one of my accounts on the Windows machine. Interestingly there is no box on the form for an account password. When I hit the "Connect" button, Thunderbird post a message saying "Mozilla Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account." When I select "Show more" it says "Can't find a server".

My Mac machine has its firewall turned off completely ("Inactive") and I have no problems with other apps accessing the Internet. There is no way to explicitly list Thunderbird as a firewall exception because the firewall is off. Further, I opened a command window and pinged both my POP3 and SMTP servers (using the same names as I supplied in my Thunderbird configuration) and they ping just fine; i.e. "ping" has no problem reaching them. I'm at my wits' end.

I have three computers. I use Thunderbird on all three, but on only one, which I will refer to as 1, do I have access to my email account that comes through a Microsoft server (I have two other accounts and have no problems with them). I use Owl on 1 and used its predecessor for many years. I have recently tried to set up that same account on the other two computers. After setting it up via the Thunderbird method, it gets new mail and I can view all the old messages on the server. It does not, however, access any sent messages nor can I send message through it. I have set the outgoing server to the same settings on 1 to no avail. Computer 1 is on a university campus, which is where that account originates, but the other two are in my house. I have to sign in when starting computer 1 but not the other two. Computer 1 is running Windows 10; the other two, 11. I just upgraded both the home computers to Thunderbird 158. What am I doing wrong? Do I need Owl?

Hi

"I am being asked daily for my pop3 password

Login to server pop3.tpg.com.au with username ##### failed. retry, enter new password, cancel"

Each time I enter the password and my mail rolls through. I have the password saved using the password manager and I can see that the correct password is saved.

What do I do to stop this happening each day? This has only been happening since the last windows update so maybe a clue there

Any assistance will be very much appreciated

So long as I investigated, the problem is,

After version154, received emails in Japanese encoded by 8bit causes misconversion (mojibake). Emails encoded by base64 is not misconverted. Only 8bit encoded shows the problem. Version153.5 is no problem. Version154 and newer shows the problem.

Here are OK/NG by sender/receiver combination. Sender version154 8bit - receiver version154 - NG Sender version154 base64 - receiver version154 - OK Sender version154 8bit - receiver version153 - OK Sender version154 base64 - receiver version153 - OK Sender version153 8bit - receiver version154 - OK Sender version153 base64 - receiver version154 - OK

Emails encoded by base64 is OK, but some senders can encode by only 8bit. I cannot find how they can use base64. It would be helpful to know to use base64 encoding in version154 (or later).

However, the best way is that version154 (or later) can read 8bit encoded email in Japanese. I would like to thank anyone who help the problem.

I have just starting using Thundermail and one thing I am trying to understand better is Address Books in Desktop Thundermail in Windows 11.

I now have the following under address books: All address books (assume that this is just everything in all the address books), Personal Adress Book (empty), Contacts ( not sure where it comes from, probably 1 or both of the 2 emails of mine I have connected), Contacts (not sure where this came from but looks suspiciously like it comes from my gmail email or emails? as it is a long list), Thundermail Address Book (empty), Collected Addresses (looks like it picks these up from emails I send or receive).

I am interested in understanding what forms this initial list of address books, do they continue to reflect changes in the original source address books from outside or are they a once only transfer?), how I can manipulate them, probably to end up with: All address books, and other address books continuing various subsets for convenient access to a smaller list of contacts under these sub address book names.

Can I easily copy or move addresses between address books? Documentation already answering many of these questions may already exist? Thanks for any help or advice you may be able to provide.

I have added a subscribed calendar to Thunderbird using an URL. It is a public calendar. It shows in my calendar when added, When I exist and come back to Thunderbird later, the calendar still shows in the list but all of the appointments/events are missing. It I remove the calendar and re-add, still no appointments/events. A new install of Thunderbird produces the same results.

I am using the correct password but it keeps saying " Login to server imap.comcast.net with username [redacted]@comcast.net failed.". I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Have been trying off and on for last couple of days to export my contacts from Thunderbird into CSV format. Internet says it's easy. Just open TB> contacts> choose the contact list you want to export> tools> export> save it as CSV. Only option in tools is to export the whole profile into a zip file and no way to select just contacts saving in CSV. So, how do you save contacts as a CSV file, getting around the export of the whole profile?
