Thunderbird Tekoha Aty

Nach Aufrufen der Startseite werde ich aufgefordert "geben sie ihr Passwort für '[redacted]@t-online.de' ein. Das habe ich aber vergessen. Danach erhalte ich die Meldung, dass die Anmeldung fehlgeschlagen ist. Nachdem ich versucht habe, gespeicherte Passwörter aufzurufen, werde ich aufgefordert, eine PIN einzugeben; die kenne ich auch nicht. Es ist zum Verzweifeln!

My TB installation got corrupted due to a hardware/disk issue. On restoring it from backup TB keeps trying to download all messages again. I know this is something to do with the popstate.dat file but I can't seem to stop it. What do I need to do?

Also, I had never noticed this before (because I never looked at the TB file system) but TB created multiple folders for the email account.pop.mail.yahoo-1.com up to pop.mail.yaho-4.com. Why does it do this and is there a way to get back to just one file? Is this something to do with TB crashing or what?

Is it using all of these files or just the latest and how do I know? All of these folders have a popstat.dat file and one has multiple following the popstat-1.dat etc.

I've no idea how to recover from this. Any help would be much appreciated.

I have several email accounts in Thunderbird where the email address no longer exists, at least on the specified IMAP server. Thunderbird is configured to not attempt automatically getting mail for these.

I had used Thunderbird 102 on Windows 10 for years, and in that version, my mail was kept in Thunderbird for those accounts (though whenever I opened any folder in them, I was somewhat annoyingly prompted to enter my credentials since the connection to the server was failing). To copy my profile folder to a new Linux installation, I updated Thunderbird to 153.5.1esr, the same version running on Linux, as Flatpak. My mail is still kept in Thunderbird on Windows, but with the same profile on Linux, Thunderbird "hid" all folders from the offline email accounts (apart from an "Inbox" folder that is shown as empty): the files are still there in the profile directory, and Thunderbird seems to find relevant emails in search, but opening them leads to a "No mail found" screen, and there is no way to access this mail from the folder pane. How can I make Thunderbird see my mail again?

As if that was not enough, on a whim I decided to attempt the "Repair folder" option on my Windows instance of Thunderbird, where the folders were still being shown normally. I immediately regretted not having made a backup of my profile (I only have one from version 102, where the data was apparently stored rather differently), since this just deleted all mail in the selected folder entirely, with the relevant file in the profile directory being empty. (The file seems to be somewhat different on Linux too, since copying it back to the Windows profile did not restore the mail in Thunderbird, and I would probably have to copy my Thunderbird 102 backup into an install of Thunderbird 102 and manually upgrade to my/the newest version to get it back.)

I know local folders would never be deleted like this, but there does not even seem to be an option to move an entire mailbox into a local folder, other than manually. It does not appear like Thunderbird has proper support for mailboxes that are no longer available. It would be undesirable to have all my mail in some new mailbox lost in the same way after I lose access to it. (Local folders would not really help in this situation either, unless you plan out exactly when your mailbox goes offline.)

Hi,

For both servers imap.exmail.qq.com / imap.263.net, when I click on the email subject in the email list during downloading processes (many emails headers are being downloaded but email body downloading is not completed), the email is broken without any content (only header).

I go to the web email server and move the email to another folder and then move it back to inbox. Then I delete the same email in Thunderbird and donwload again the email again, it's completely downloaded with the email body.

I don't have any issue with eM client or Outlook for such issues. Any possible setting to solve this issue?

Thanks.

My Thunderbird installation (159.0/Windows11) has evidently just updated, and my Calendar tab is suddenly a complete blank space. There's a support article here that appears to discuss exactly this situation, and gives precise steps for getting into "Config Editor" in Advanced Settings, entering a long search string, and issuing a Reset command. (Mail and contacts are just fine.)

Which I tried...

But there is no "Config Editor" button in the dialog I get when clicking Advanced Settings at the bottom of the Settings tab, only a mostly blank screen with no list of settings and a dialog box in which one can enter text (with options for "Boolean", "Number" and "String"). And entering the search string given in the support article produces, with a bit of finagling, a toggle that will change its setting from True to False and back again (and a trash-bin icon that offers to delete it), but neither "True" nor "False" produces any instance of a "Lightning" extension in my list of extensions (which is short and uncomplicated), so (a) I can't delete the extension as instructed, because it's not there, and (b) restarting Thunderbird only continues to give me the unhelpfully blank Calendar tab. (And I do mean "blank" here - there isn't even an empty calendar grid on that tab at this point.)

I *think* the article is probably right that my data is still there (I can see .ics files with current dates in File Explorer), but at this point I can't get at it and can't seem to get the interface unstuck.

Mail folders have disappeared in Thunderbird for Mac version 158.01. I replaced the files with the folder name, along with the accompanied .msf file from a backup, but the folder is still not showing up. Please help.

Since yesterday , Thursday 29th October. Thunderbird has only been displaying the "Inbox" for my account, no emails are visible in it and all of the directories including the deleted emails directory and spam directory are absent. I have Windows 11 installed. I am using the IMAP server for incoming email and have checked that all the settings are correct. My account displays no incoming emails but can send emails. The directories are still absent when running Trouble shooter and the inbox is still empty. In the Account Settings - Server Settings I tested connection to the server and it said secure connection made - this worked for both outgoing and incoming servers. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird but the issue persists. Although I do not change any settings the full set of directories will occasionally appear along with some emails and then seconds later disappear again. My email account is working fine on my phone and tablet using gmail.

When I attempt to send an email in Thunderbird I get an extensive string of gibberish that I have to delete before I can send the email. What can I do to get rid of this huge irritation? Thanks

I send an email and I get this response as a failed send. Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: resomta-a2p-646964.sys.comcast.net ESMTP server not available (396356/173.46.82.217).

I'm not receiving any emails in my Thunderbird inbox, though I'm able to send messages (but they're not being saved to my sent folder). Connection to my server keeps timing out. Also it looks like I accidentally deleted all the messages in my inbox -- no messages are currently showing when I open the inbox. I think I did this by "repairing" the inbox folder.

This just started yesterday: When I open thunderbird my inbox does not show up unless there is a new unread email in it. Also my previously set display columns and tool bar all have to be reset each time I open Thunderbird.

My local Thunderbird program (159.0 (64-bit) on Windows 11) is set to auto-install updates. Upon the update completing earlier today, the inbox and other folders were completely empty. They remain so following a program & computer restart, and also opening the program in troubleshooting mode. I have checked the following: - logging into the online mailbox directly works, and shows all emails - sending a new incoming email to the email address does have the email show up in the remote mailbox but not the local mailbox - sending a new outgoing email from Thunderbird does appear in the local Sent folder, as well as on the receiving email account - the local Thunderbird instance is still able to connect to the IMAP Mail Server (mail.talktalk.net) - the following settings are configured, and I believe haven't changed since prior to the update:

 - Check for new messages at startup is **enabled**
 - Check for new messages every 10 minutes is **enabled**
 - Clean up (Expunge) Inbox on Exit is **disabled**
 - Synchronization & Storage: Keep messages in all folders for this account on this computer is **enabled**
 - Synchronize all messages locally regardless of age is **enabled**

I have ~100gb of space available on my hard drive

I'm not sure what other settings might be helpful. Please let me know if there's anything else I should add.

My issue has two parts. The first is that I want new emails to appear in my local email client upon arriving, as they did previously. The second is that I want to have the full set of emails on my remote account available locally, which is currently no longer the case. There is also no sync activity happening, and apart from establishing the initial connection to the mail server I can't see any activity in the bottom left corner.

cannot seem to send emails to multiple people without going thru mail merge. I can no longer type the persons name in to: field and it will not autofill. I tried to go to calendar function and got a blank screen.

Can I go back to a previous version?

Whenever I start my PC, the first time I click on the Thunderbird icon at the bottom of my screen (is that still called the taskbar?) I have to click on it a 2nd time to get it to open. After that I only have to click on it once. Does anyone know I can get it so I only have to click on it once the first time as well as understand what may be causing this problem?

I have 5 accounts. Since the update when I start Thunderbird, some accounts appear in name only with no folders. Then, if I exit then enter again the tabs may appear and the Thunderbird sets about resyncing them all. Help please.

I want to change and customize the background color of the left side of TB where the folders are listed. My current theme is "System theme- auto" version 1.4.2.

How is this done?

I'm running Debian 13

Thanks,

Craig

When I open Thunderbird, the attached error message pops up, three times, and I cannot receive any emails from sa.mcpherson@comcast.net
