Thunderbird Community Forum

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

Thunderbird ver 115.18.0, on a Win7 machine, upgrading not an option

When opening Thunderbird I get a sign-in message, inserting my email address and clicking the next button I get the google error message.

When I send photos from my phone to my imac inbox, same email address, or when a third party sends me a verification code, "get messages" is very slow showing results. Sometimes minutes, so I have to go through several verification attempts. The primary email account is gmail. My ISP is comcast.net. I don't know if this matters, because slow Get Messages is recent. It used to work very well

I have a contact list of about 90 addresses for a mailout. I want to copy the list to another computer. How can I do this? I've only managed to find how to copy the entire address book.

I'm using Thunderbird 115.18.0 and just today it's behaving bizarrely. Crashed twice for no reason, and emails are taking "forever" to delete -- normally they delete immediately (unless they have an enormous attachment), but today I have to wait about 4 seconds for one short text only email to delete. Compacted folders, and made no difference.

Any ideas? Anything I can do to return to my normal I love Thunderbird condition?

Thanks.

This just started today. I am seeing question marks between the sentences in my messages. I had this issue a number of years ago and do not remember the fix. I am running the latest version on my Windows 7 desktop. It is just the new messages not the older ones in file.

Anyone remember the fix?

Thanks

Thunderbird won’t open because it wants a Primary Password which I have never had to do. I went on another computer (the one that I am currently using) and generated a password for Mozilla. I tried that but it still would not open. I have restarted the computer 3 times. When it asks for the pass word, I have entered the new one for Mozilla with no success. I have tried the one for the main opening of the computer with no success. When I close the small window that asks for the Primary Password, the spinning beach ball of death shows up and eventually (maybe 10 minutes) it has to be forced to quit.

Hello Due to a massive cluster**k this morning, I changed my password by accident I think I've now got everything working again, except that Thunderbird cannot sign in to my Google Account What I don't understand is that I have a password with normal and special characters and numbers, but the Oauth2 password is very different of course How do I know what to change my Oauth2 password too? Or perhaps the question should be how do I now generate a new one that goes with my new "normal" password Thanks in advance for any help

We can access our Orange accounts directly (www.orange.fr) and deal with our emails using passwords stored by Password Manager. We can not sign in to Orange through Thunderbird. The passwords saved by Password Manager are not recognised. Orange have introduced a system that produces a 23 character Password which is then entered into the password field in Account Settings: this is supposed to be permanent and unique to the account. When I followed this procedure I got the error message 'Incoming server already exists', for both IMAP and POP3. We are on Windows 10 and Opera; Can you help please?

This past week I started having a problem accessing URL's embedded in my emails from the Thunderbird interface. When clicking on the URL reference, nothing happens. I have not changed anything in my settings recently. Running Windows 7. I know my email server is working since this works when using my AT&T mail handler. I did have an issue with a Trojan virus that was cleared up with Malware program (i hope). I checked all the parameters of my mail handler and saw nothing that might cause this problem.

Cannot send or receive email all of sudden in Thunderbird. When I the click the messages icon, nothing happens, and I get "Could not connect to server mail.twc.com; the connection was refused". When trying to send a m,message I get "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.twc.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." No settings were changed and everything was fine when I put the computer to sleep. This happens on both a Win 7 and 11 machine Email is a Time Warner (now Spectrum) Road Runner account (twc.com). Spent an hour with Spectrum, and they say this is a third party (Thunderbird) issue. A friend has the same setup, and is having the same problems that started at the same time. Win 11 version 150.02 Win 7 115.18.0 (latest available for win 7)

Appreciate any help....

Cannot send emails from Thunderbird to a Yahoo server. Receiving emails from this server is working. There are several options for configuring the connection to this SMTP server. Server name, port number, user name, authentication method (ie OAuth2), connection security (using SSL/TLS). There is also a password required. When I try to send a message to this server, I get a login failure with options to reset my password. Since I had a working configuration, I retrieved the password from that and tried to reset it. That did not fix this problem. I am not sure if this is a sign in issue or a missmatch of the configuration parameters. I have tried several combinations of those with no success. This server is on a Yahoo machine that reserves ports for AT&T service. If I use the Yahoo interface for email, that will work, possibly because it is going into different ports on the Yahoo machine or my sign on with them is easier to establish. I prefer the Mozilla email handler to the Yahoo/AT&T handler, so I hope I can get it working again.

After a re-install of Thunderbird the Message List does not appear in columns, and there is no label bar at the top of the Message List to allow sort by date, sender, topic, etc.

How do I get the Message List to appear in column format again?

Thanks in advance.

‘I can login to Orange website & read my mails: Thunderbird, using same password, gets "Authentication Failed", This on 2 accounts.’ for ‘Thunderbird’. This is a recent problem, occuring after a series of"Account blocked , due to suspicious activity"

Hello. I have been unable to send email from one of several POP accounts on Thunderbird (v 115.18.0). I believe this occurred after Network Solutions changed the SMTP server for that email account. I am able to send email from my Gmail IMAP account setup on the same Thunderbird program on my PC. I have tried all the port and authentication settings for SLS/TLS and STARTTLS, changed/updated passwords, etc. I do not get any error messages, just never receive the test email I send to my other accounts. I updated the SMTP server on my iPhone mail app to the new NetSol SMTP and it works on that platform. I just cannot get it to work on Thunderbird on my PC. NetSol support said to delete account and start over which is not possible as it is my business email account. Also, the inbox is too large to back-up to an external drive. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. John

Running "Mozilla Thunderbird v115.18.0 (64-bit)" on my Windows 7 laptop. I want the Inbox to display "Headers" such as "Date", "Size", etc. But I cannot seem to make this happen. Please help me. Thank you, Ron

The thunderbird server seems unresponsive and doesn’t recognise my password - what can I do? I can get my emails on my iPhone, luckily, but feel safer from scamming when opening them on my laptop. Please advise - thanks. Ps I have recently donated to Thunderbird!

The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: [SYS/PERM] Your account is not enabled for POP access. Please visit your Gmail settings page and enable your account for POP access.

Bonjour, Pourquoi actuellement tous les messages que j'envoie avec ma messagerie Thunderbird depuis mon compte FREE sont-ils identifiés comme spams par mes destinataires GMAIL ?

This just happened today. I'm using Windows 7 and Thunderbird version 115.18.0 (32-bit) . No settings have been changed and, there have been no problems signing in to my accounts until today. (I have a few accounts handled by Tbird.) The Microsoft sign in window comes up for me to sign in but there is no longer an option to sign in with your password so, I can't sign in and use my accounts in Tbird. I did click on "other ways to sign in" but no "sign in with password" there either.

Thanks for your help,

P.S. Wow. Crazy stuff. I closed Tbird and reopened it and, the previous Microsoft sign in window came up with the option to: "sign in with password". I am assuming it was fixed by restarting Tbird. Anyhow, "back i business" again.
