Thunderbird Tekoha Aty

I need a filter on a message to FULLY FINISH before a next message starts to be filtered. The "help" (quotes because it's an abyssal crap) says that simply ending the filter with Stop Filter Execution does it - but that's simply NOT TRUE: calling a console program in the filter, I can see five DOS boxes opening at the same time with five messages matching, i.e. the filters on the next message DID NOT wait! So... what can I do??

All of the above is because I'm getting "Too many simultaneous connections on the server". I'd like to limit the concurrency, but it only seems to be possible in IMAP, while this connection is a POP. Why only IMAP??!

The issue has been "An error occurred connecting to mail.mediacombb.net:993." on the server page, where you can "test connection to server" in Account > Server Settings > Security Settings. I get the same error message for each four different accounts. I have no problems with the other two different accounts not associated with Mediacom (MC). I contacted MC and they said my settings were correct and to contact TB. I have read several posts with no real solutions except that was resolved through an update. I plan to switch to a different Linux distro later. I am currently using Big Linux Manjaro with the latest update. Note that I had no problems with TB until last month. I do not do the uninstall/reinstall apps unless it will resolve my issues as a last resort. Second, sometimes I receive MC e-mails and did not run the "test connection to server," then until today while troubleshooting for several hours. I was trying to send out an e-mail, which I had no problems last week. I already went to Account > Server Settings > Advanced and changed the "Maximum number of server connections to cache" from 5 down to 1 with no luck.

  The e-mail server settings are:

imap.mediacombb.net 993 SSL/TLS Normal Password and smtp.mediacombb.net 587 STARTTLS Normal Password They have not been changed since I switched from windows 10 to Zorin 18 to currently Big Linux Manjaro. I attempted to locate a method to check if the server settings were correct via Terminal. M$ Outlook has a test page that you can send to yourself or another e-mail account. Last, MC tech informed me that M$ Outlook is more friendly than TB. I know that I have used M$ Outlook for years and rarely had any connection issues unlike TB. Unlike Evolution, which was my first after M$ Outlook, TB is much better and easier than Evolution. Thank you in advance for your time and advice.

As in the subject, my computer has sound everywhere else but, despite 'play a sound' still showing as ticked in general settings, no sound happens when an e-mail arrives. And, in general settings for 'when a new message' arrives, I can hit the Play Button there and the sound happens. How do I fix this?

T-Bird is Freezing (Hang?) from start to freeze was 5 minutes and a few seconds. Have turned off hardware acceleration and now it freezes at just under 5 minutes. Have put on updates. Currently 153.0.1esr (64-bit). I have captured profile, and re-installed and picked up the profile. Still freezes. Turned off AV. Still freezes. I have compressed and "repaired" all folders. Still Freezes. I forced folders to get rid of anything older than 30 days. Still freezes.

I have been running the task manager, and T-Bird in frozen state is only using 4.3% of CPU at most. I do not see any slowdowns for any other program. So this is not a CPU constrained problem. And it certainly is not memory constrained.

All this started within the past month and I think it was after I put on an ESR update (don't remember which one).

I can kill T-Bird and start it and it will get mail if any, and will function for about 5 minutes and then freezes (or hangs). The system is set to fetch mail on start up and then every 27 minutes. I am not using Account hub (and don't know what it does).

One oddity -- This is a W11 Home system, and Mozilla keeps saying it is a W10 system. Could this be the problem? Wife is running a lesser laptop. It is also running T-Bird, but her O/S is a W11 Pro and she is not having this problem.

Hi! I am having an issue with displaying sent mails. As you can see in the screenshot (cropped for privacy), I have selected the option to "Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to", which to me means that eg. a reply I sent will both be shown in the "inbox" folder in the message thread, as well as in the "sent" folder. However, it only shows up in the "inbox" folder. Why does this not work?

Thanks!

On T-Bird start up I'm given a list of (originally) four Profiles. Currently I only use Profile Three, but on start=up today it is not there. Doing the usual searches does not list it, only 'default', 'new user' and 'profile two'. Is there any way to recover it?

I'm running the current version of Thunderbird on Windows 11 Pro. Several time in the last few weeks I have noticed periods where I don't seem to be getting mail. When I close Thunderbird and restart it I get batches of 10-20 email messages that had been delivered to my shaw mail account, but which Thunderbird hd stopped downloading. There were no obvious messages that it had failed.

Thunderbird had been working great for both of us until after my wife stopped checking her emails for a couple of months. When she later opened the program her inbox started downloading hundreds of emails (very slowly) until her inbox contained well over a thousand. I started to delete the unwanted ones but it went very very slowly. I finally whittled it down to a few hundred but the program continues to run very slowly in all phases. In one instance, it took 11 minutes to delete 39 messages. Downloading and sending are not much different. I've done virus scans, checked settings, restarted the computer etc., all to no avail. And when we switch users, my Thunderbird email runs perfectly. I also contacted my internet provider (Spectrum) but they said it had to be a program issue. How can I restore my wife's email to normal function? Thanks, Joe S.

Hello,

Every now and then Thunderbird pops up the notification in the screenshot. Can anyone tell me what it means and if I should do anything about it?

Alan.

My Windows 11 was recently reinstalled to factory settings, which uninstalled Thunderbird but saved my mobx files. I used Thunderbird exclusively to view older emails that are stored on my PC as mobx files. I do not use Thunderbird as an active email client. I reinstalled Thunderbird, but have been unable to get it to find my mobx files that are stored together in a folder.

After updating to 153.0.1esr(aarch64). the SEND button has disappeared. There's no way to send an email. (I can receive emails.) I am a Mac mini M2 Pro. OS 26.4.1

I cannot find a link to download a previous release of Thuderbird, which was working fine until this update.

I had this issue some while back, then an update resolved it. Seems another update has brought it back.

Having just updated, still on ESR, I find that I now have 2 folders named "Spam", but in fact looking at the folder properties 1 is actually still "Junk".

The images explain it well.

As in the past, I'm unable to correctly rename the second Spam folder back to Junk.

It has to be the update that caused it (as previously).

When can I expect another update to resolve it?

Hello - new forum user with some previous familiarity with Thunderbird. I'm looking for advice on mail import from Outlook (M365) on Mac OS. I will only be using TBird for accessing historical mails in future rather than as the main mail app going forward.

I have installed Thunderbird and looked at the Import Tool but it doesn't list Outlook as an option. I've looked through the Import Tool support pages and I can see Outlook is an import option but it only seems to appear when I filter the web page based on Windows 11 rather than Mac OS.

Am I able to use the Import Tool on Mac OS with Outlook?

I'm using Mac OS Monterey 12.7.6 and have Thunderbird 153.0.1 and Outlook for Mac 16.89 (M365) installed.

If the Import Tool isn't available, is the next best option to drag individual folders from Outlook to the Mac desktop to create MBOX folders and then drag those into Thunderbird?

Thank you in advance.

I'm trying to resolve password issues. I fear that I might lose access in T-bird as I have through my browser.

T-Bird presently works to receive e-mail at two addresses: [redacted]@pacbell.net and at [redacted]@pacbell.net. It won't let me send email from [redacted]@pacbell.net.

None of my "they did work in the past" passwords allow me to log in with yahoo or AT&T

I want to use the same p- words with t-bird and yahoo and AT&T

I have 5 emails setup on Thunderbird. I can receive emails for all 5 accounts. However, I can't send email on any of the accounts. I went through some of the old threads and tried to adjust the outgoing server, but I haven't been successful. Typically, I get a message like attached.

“A fake login page at auth.tb.pro appeared while adding an Outlook account in Thunderbird. It is NOT a Thunderbird or Microsoft domain. Do NOT enter your password.”

Is this a known scammer - have others been caught by it.

I hope I avoided trouble by not responding and following the instructions I was able to get from Microsoft CoPilot to locate and remove the the dangerous cookies from my PC.

My screenshot shows the cookies that were there.

Using the Import function in TBird doesn't work for me - I'm not clued up enough to edit the columns and I don't have all the same columns in my Outlook contacts. The import function says it's done and TBird shows 1972 entries, but nothing is visible. when I looked at the pdf version of the import, I could see the mess of the columns and gave up. PLEASE is there some simple way to do this. I'm trying to let go of Outlook because it doesn't download my gmail anymore. Thank you for any help.

Dobry den, vytvoril som si stitky - uhradene (zelena farba). Ked si stitkami oznacim spravy a potom sa prekliknem do ineho priecinka a vratim sa do toho predtym nazad kde som si to oznacil, zmiznu. Alebo ak zavriem program a otvorim nie su tam. Predtym ich pekne drzalo, teraz nie.
