Thunderbird Community Forum

I downloaded Thunderbird on my new Windows 11 laptop and began setup by entering my full name and email address (d.r.davis@utexas.edu, operated by Gmail). The next screen asks for my "email account password." I entered my Google password that allows me to access my email at Gmail (https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox). But "Authentication failed," and I am stuck! I cannot finish installing Thunderbird. I have used Thunderbird for many years on my prior laptop (Windows 10).

For the past 3-4 days, I am unable to successfully add my Yahoo New Mail account to Thunderbird.

The app says it cannot authenticate my account, but Yahoo confirms Thunderbird's access.

I'm using Thunderbird Version 155.0.1 (64-bit). I reinstalled it after cleaning the installation of Windows 11 25H2 a few days ago.

Please help. I need to move all my Gmail messages to Yahoo, and Thunderbird is the only option I have.

Thank you in advance!

My Thunderbird version is 153.2. My email provider is Yahoo.. I use the POP protocol and have set it up so that messages are left on the server for this particular email address because I want to hang on to several important emails. I am not sure if I should be checking "Until I delete them" but it is checked right now. Leave messages on server for X number of days is unchecked. I also have a few other Yahoo mail addresses on Thunderbird also set up using POP but the messages are set up to be deleted on the server so they seem ok so far.

Basically when I delete messages in Thunderbird, it also deletes my messages in my Yahoo webmail inbox and it goes to the trash. When I delete messages directly in my Yahoo webmail, nothing happens. So I then transfer the emails that ended up in trash of my Yahoo webmail to my inbox and they are of course downloaded again to Thunderbird. When I delete these emails in Thunderbird thinking that nothing will happen in my webmail since it is set up to POP and messages left on the server, the messages get deleted again, causing an endless cycle of transferring emails to inbox, downloading them on Thunderbird, deleting the unwanted emails on TB, then seeing all my other emails disappear on my Yahoo webmail inbox.

It started a few days ago. There was a random glitch (not sure if it was on Yahoo's end) that led to the OAuth dialog window popping up every time TB downloads mail from Yahoo. Initially I didn't handle this properly and it led my inbox emails going into my other Yahoo mail accounts. I have finally fixed that glitch and emails appear to be downloading properly to their respective inboxes. But I cannot seem to figure out what is causing my emails to be deleted from the POP server. Should I be unchecking "Until I delete them"?

As background, I recently migrated to Thunderbird and imported a very large number of e-mails. The issue, however, is in regard to a new e-mail that was downloaded yesterday.

The new e-mail was downloaded in a normal fashion, but when I went to look for the e-mail in the Inbox, it was no longer visible in the (although I had not moved it or deleted it).

Running a search on the sender's name finds the e-mail. It is in a thread of 6 or 7 e-mails. The search shows the e-mail is located in the Inbox, however a sort by sender name in the Inbox does not reveal the e-mail.

In the search result, I starred the e-mail (it is the only starred e-mail in my e-mail database), but a search of all my e-mail folders shows no starred e-mails at all.

I also went through all my folders and moved all e-mails into the "read" status, then found the lost e-mail using the search function and marked it as unread.

The Inbox folder shows that I have one unread e-mail in the folder, however when I filter for unread e-mails, the results are zero.

My local telephone company updated their webmail. Now I can't send or receive emails. I called support and they wanted me to change some outgoing , and incoming server settings. I can't find the incoming server, was able to change settings on outgoing server.

I'm trying to remove a couple accounts that I no longer use in Thunderbird. A window keeps popping up asking for a password, but the mail service is no longer available. When I click on the red delete button for that account, nothing happens. I've deleted all the mail in one of them which I was able to do as I thought I might need to do that first, but I still can't delete it after that. The other one won't even let me delete the emails. How do I delete these so I stop getting asked to put in a password for accounts that are no longer valid and I don't want anymore?

Thunderbird 156 wanted to keep getting a response that my business associate's email account did not exist. I had to have the recipient contact me to get Thunderbird to successfully deliver the email I first sent and responded to. Is this not some Java bug to the domain?

I run Thunderbird on MacOS for some years without a problem. Now, after a hard reboot, Thunderbird won't launch anymore. I tried reinstalling to no avail. Is there anything I could do here? Or do you need any more info? The crash report is as follows:

Thunderbird comes up as not responding - tab names appear but he last tab is constantly trying to open. This began about 2.00pm Tuesday 15th September. Shutting down & restarting has no effect - please help!! Brian

I belong to a group which need to receive a report to the whole group on a regular basis. How do I do this? The Mozilla instructions don't seem to apply to Firebird and have instructions which don't work on Firefox version 115.18.0

I have no idea what happened to my Thunderbird. I think it might have been an update, because all of my folders are not where they were, everything in the folders are sorted by groups like today, or older. I noticed a bunch of my emails are now in folders marked as a Userfolder#. The emails it contains are those that normally should be in a properly named folder, only those named folders are grayed out. Another issue is that when i try to open an email, it opens it as if I want to reply to it. If I just want to read the email, I have to right click on the email and select open to read it. I have 2 spam folders, no idea why, nothing saves to my draft folder I found out today, I just dont know what happened! I dont think I did anything but I dont know now, as Im beginning to doubt myself. It's been this way for a few days.

I keep getting the following error when trying to download emails from yahoo.mail: Authentication failure while connecting to server pop.mail.yahoo.com Have hundreds of emails sitting in yahoo.mail that I need to load onto my desktop. Any help is appreciated!

I have been unable to send emails for two weeks. I continually get error messages such as "An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: EHLO requires valid address." Another message says to check the SMTP outgoing server settings. I am using Windows 10, which has worked for several years. My email server is mail.twc.com and Spectrum. I can send emails via my iPhone or via the Spectrum webmail, but not through Thunderbird. I have examined my SMTP settings several times and have tried various combinations of settings. None has worked. Spectrum has no help and refers me to you. Can you help? Thank you, Andrew Gurian

Hi, Will there ever be a functioning option to set up a primary password that aborts the start up if not provided with the correct password. Still in 2026, hitting cancel gives access to all already synced emails. Please, soon!

Hello fellow Thunderbirds,

I have been using Thunderbird for years and had thousands of emails in quite a few folders, with a shit-tonne of filters etc. My emails were running pretty well. I only use two addresses, but the folders help manage everything.

I just got a new computer last week. Prior to switching over to the new computer I read through the 'Export your Thunderbird Profile' help page, and the 'Move Thunderbird data to a new computer' pages. I've tried to follow all the info there (with a glitch, explained below).

I am using a Windows system and have gone from Win10 to Win11.

I have the following data:

• Mozilla Maintenance Service (in Program Files (x86) ).
• Mozilla Thunderbird (in Program Files (x86) )
• Thunderbird (In Users/Username/AppData/Local/Thunderbird) (Contains 'profile' and 'updates'

I tried to swap the above data into the same spots on the new computer, but alas, it's not working. I *may*, however, have fucked it up myself...

So... When I got the new computer, I immediately downloaded Firefox, but, alas, I entered my email's details before closing it down. It did download a few off the server, but only a day's worth (before I realised I screwed up).

As soon as I realised I'd mucked up, I uninstalled Thunderbird and deleted the files on the new computer (you know how when you download it doesn't always remove all the stuff, so I tried to do this).

I reinstalled Thunderbird, but closed it prior to loading the email addresses on (as instructed). I then transferred all the above data into the corresponding file areas on the new computer. However, everytime I try to run the program it just goes to the standard open screen (with the popup that prompts you to enter your email addresses and details into it - see image, below, in case I'm not explaining it right).

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you might be able to give me as I'm desperate to get my emails running again and have access to all the saved emails which were in my system. Kindly. Larysa.

My T-bird is not receiving incoming messages in one E-mail account. How can I add back an IMAP server on an existing T-bird account after T-bird deleted the line with the saved password and IMAP server for that account? I tried to change the IMAP server address for an existing T-bird account, but T-bird and/or my ISP deleted the saved password and IMAP server line for that account in T-bird's Saved Passwords table, so T-bird cannot get incoming E-mails. The IMAP server address still exists in T-bird's Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings page, but NOT in the Tools -> Options -> Privacy & Security -> Passwords -> Saved Passwords table. I would like to add an/the IMAP server back to the account without deleting the account, and re-entering all of its settings again. I have not figured out how to do this.

How can I change an IMAP server on an existing T-bird account after T-bird deleted the saved password and IMAP server for that account? I tried to change the IMAP server address for an existing T-bird account, but T-bird and/or my ISP deleted the saved password and IMAP server entry for that account, so T-bird cannot get incoming E-mails. I would like to add an/the IMAP server back to the account without deleting the account, adding all of its settings again, and waiting 6 hours for T-bird to re-download all of the most recent 10,000 messages in the Inbox and all of the 15,000 messages in other folders again. The SMTP server and its saved password are still in the Saved Passwords table.

Installed Thunderbird in August 26. Successfully added Outlook and Gmail accounts (send and receive)

On a roll I then tried to migrate from Plusnet to Greenby. Can successfully receive emails via IMAP.plus.net server. But could not send mails from Greenby (other accounts still OK)

Traced problem via forum query 31???? to inability to create a new SMTP server for outbound mail. After entering all data in the outbound server there is no response whatsoever to clicking add button (ie no error messages or servers added to SMTP list)

Then tried to delete the partially active Greenby account via clicking delete button in account setting window. No response. Account still present.

Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this before I try the doomsday action of deleting and reinstalling Thunderbird.

TIA Phil

I have recently closed my yahoo mail account, removed all traces from Thunderbird, but when I start Thunderbird, after a few seconds, I get a Yahoo sign in screen over the top of Thunderbird
