Mozzilla fonctionne mais je ne peux plus faire "envoyer" mes mails. C'est terrible d'autant que n'y comprends rien . Je rédige-sur la page "Rédaction" et après il n'y a plus de case "Envoyer." par contre je reçois les mails J'ai glané les infos au bout de 2 jours  : IMAP Je sui "Orange" Sortant SMTP/SSL/TLS port 459 Entrant SMTP/SSL/TLS port 995 et quelque part  : version 140.II.Iesr  ? Vous pensez que c'est grave ? ça fait 10 ans que ça fonctionnait

Hi all,

I've been using Thunderbird for eons but yesterday morning it started freezing up constantly.

It freezes up ("Thunderbird is not responding") every time new emails are received or any time I take any action while the Inbox folder is open. So, if I delete an email it freezes for a few minutes. If I do anything pretty much, it freezes up for a few minutes. Then it comes back and I can do another action, and it freezes again. This only seems to be happening when I have the Inbox open - if I go to other folders it seems to function normally.

Things I've tried without success: - Troubleshooting mode - Adding exceptions for my profile folders to Windows Defender - Compressing Inbox (and Trash and Junk) - Repairing the Inbox index

This doesn't appear to be a memory issue - right now, memory use for my entire system seems to be hovering at just over 50%. But Thunderbird is still freezing.

My Inbox folder is very large, but it's never been an issue before and nothing significant was added yesterday when it started failing.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Thanks

Using Thunderbird with Spectrum email (an old roadrunner address). Changed the outgoing server to the following: Server Name: mobile.charter.net Port: 587 Username: Reefside@cfl.rr.com Authentication: Normal Password Connection Security: SSL/TLS Testing connection fails. I have tried different combinations and once in a while I get that the connection is successful, but email sending hangs and never completes.

Hello. Some email addresses are no longer being delivered and are not appearing in my spam folder.

This started about three weeks ago with just one address. Now, I know of at least two.

Emails from these addresses that I used to receive and delete have also disappeared from my spam folder.

Does anyone have a solution?

Thunderbird aggregates in the same threads e-mails from my employer that are completely unrelated. They are sent in different months, with a different subject, etc. and they end up in the same thread. Clearly, there is something in the header pushing Thunderbird to aggregate them, but this results in a very annoying ordering of the emails.

In my case, e-mail messages are sorted on date with descending order. However, the first message I see in my list dates back to months ago because another message sent few days ago has been merged with the previous one in a thread.

This would not be a problem if the message displayed in the list were the last one added to the thread and not the first one starting the thread.

I have done several searches and read several help pages and discussions here, but I cannot find a way to display threads in the same way the rest of the messages is shown, i.e. latest first. For some obscure reasons, Thunderbird keeps displaying in the message list and in the threaded view (when I expand the thread), the messages in reverse order wrt my selection.

How can I fix this?

Thunderbird forces me to use the new amount hub. And I get authentication error when trying to setup outlook.com email

When I try to send an email, I get the following response. Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: invalid user ID or password. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again. Have looked in account settings and cannot see a password anywhere. Email address is correct Help please Carol

I use vertical view. Hate threading so that's turned off. I use a medium to large message pane. Recently been having issues with column visibility. Not sure if this is new or whether it's that I've come to a Linux client from a Windows one and there's a setting I missed when I set up the client.

Essentially dragging the column divider doesn't work properly (for me). The columns always seem to auto adjust width. Similarly if I resize the message pane the columns don't remain fixed they auto adjust.

I don't find this helpful. I prefer to set up the columns to display the amount I want/need in subject and From and I truncate the date to simply not display time.

How do I set column widths to remain where I put them? Or is this function now lost.

My inbox folder costently says it has more messages than it displays (I can see the missing ones by searching). I have tried repairing it, looking at filters, etc., but nothing seems to work. See picture. Thank you!

Last week I started getting the attached pop-up

I don't use Calendar on Thunderbird (as it does not sync ) Not sure why this has started ..... I have tried putting in password and ticking the remember box - but it still keeps popping up.

Dear all,

For aprox. 3 weeks now Thunderbird asks me a short time after startup for a login.

It shows up a dialog with the text : "https://caldav.gmx.net verlangt einen Benutzernamen und ein Passwort."

The problem is, that I maintain several GMX - accounts and I've no idea, which credentials I have to enter :/

How can I find out ( without inspecting or debugging the source code ;-) )

THX in advance and best regards!

Yesterday I had to change my Spectrum email - I have an old road runner email address and swapped over to spectrum.net server from the old server. In this process I had to update my password to access the server.

When I updated per the instructions from Spectrum I was able to do a normal download into my Thunderbird inbox. This triggered me having to input the new password. I did check the box to update the password and save it. After the one time download I cannot get Thunderbird to download emails. I can send emails with no problems but cannot download. No way can I get a download - it does not on initialization, at the set time nor with the manual request.

Spectrum is no help - their web mail works and it's my problem. I realize this is an old system, legacy and all that - anybody got a magic fix?

Any idea on how I messed this up?

Thanks.

I've been using T-bird since nearly the beginning, and I've always been able to search for a string in a message by hitting the slash ("/") and typing my search string. This appears to be a shortcut for Ctrl+F (on Windows, currently Windows 11).

With T-bird 151.0, when I press "/" it is ignored... the first time I use it. If I press Ctrl+F and do a search, then I can start all subsequent searches in that message with a slash. If I close that message and open another, I must again use Ctrl+F the first time I want to search.

My muscle memory constantly forces me to type "/<string>" to search, but since T-bird ignores the slash, the following characters immediately take action, usually causing me to navigate away from the message, mark them as read/unread or as junk, etc.

Since I can use "/" on subsequent searches, I'm thinking this is a bug, not a feature removal. Can this be checked/confirmed? ...thanks!

(If this is a duplicate, please feel free to delete. I posted last night, but the question appears to have vanished from the forum.)

I'm using Thunderbird 151.0.1. After 151.0.0 was installed, the ability to press "/" ("slash") to search while viewing a message was broken. The slash is ignored, and following keystrokes are then acted upon.

If a search is initiated by pressing Ctrl+F, subsequent searches can be started with a slash. It's only when the first search is done that the slash is ignored.

I've been using Thunderbird since the beginning, so starting a search with a slash is in my muscle memory. As a result, I've inadvertently marked or archived or starred messages, navigated to the next thread or next unread message, etc.

Looking at the release notes, I see that a search function was fixed in 151.0.0. I wonder if this is related to that fix?

In any event, can "press slash to start a search in the message window" be restored? ...thanks!

My old provider has stopped supporting my old email address and I have changed to a gmail address. How do I remove the IMAP and smtp settings etc for my old email address? Also remove all trace of that unwanted old address please?
