I'm getting a popup error message saying "Unable to write the email to the mailbox" on one of my gmail accounts. This has happened a few times before and I'm not sure how I managed to get it working again those times, seems hit-or-miss. I've compacted and run a repair on the inbox folder several times as suggested by others. I've updated and restarted Thunderbird and even updated windows and restarted more than once.

Windows 11 Pro Thunderbird 158.0 (64 bit)

I'm attaching a screenshot from the Error Console (Tools -> Developer Tools -> Error Console)

misconversion (mojibake) does not happen when a mail header is as below. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

misconversion (mojibake) happens when a mail header is as below. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It seems encoding in my Thunderbird does not match 8bit. Several years ago Thunderbird had an option to modify text encoding but I cannot find such an option in the recent versions. It would be really appreciated if anyone help. Thank you.

Thunderbird 158.0 Could not edit appointments - OSX fix?

Was unable to edit appointments attempts placed a previously unknown dialog box. Search for info found one person advised Select Calendar (tab), edit, calendar properties and uncheck the read only box.

In my case the box was already unchecked, checked it, tried it, same result. Unchecked it, tried it same result (not able to edit).

Next I thought maybe some data location is not being changed. So I closed all files, shut down (not a restart) my machine, and restarted it. Opened Thunderbird and tried to change an appointment, did not work. Went to Calendar (tab), edit, calendar properties and found the read only box checked. Unchecked and all seems back to normal operations now.

When i send an email , it goes to the destination email address all right, but the problem is that it creates two identical entries in my local "sent" folder. As if i had sent the email msg two times. This happens only with my hotmail.com account. All of my other accounts (gmail, yahoo etc) dont have this problem. I am using a windows 11 laptop, and both my windows and Tunderbird are fully updated.

Issue migrating to Graph API

Hello,

I'm moving to Graph from EWS and have followed the instructions at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-ews-graph-migration

I get through to screen that offers Graph API as an option, alongside IMAP, POP3 etc, and click on Graph API which directs me to my browser to log in to my email service (via GoDaddy). I log in successfully which takes me to the Thunderbird 'You're All Set' screen saying the account has been securely connected to Thunderbird and therefore ok to close that screen.

Back on Thunderbird it then progresses but returns with "Authentication Error - unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password".

The username and password are correct, and there aren't any other options available when editing/manually configuring the connection...so at a dead end, alas.

Any pointers much appreciated!

Google Popup Sign-in from T-0Bird links to a *ghost*/ disabled gmail account

I use T-bird for my email accounts and have for decades. This includes accessing an enterprize version (work) as well as basic personal gmails and even another non-google web based email account. I'm an ardent fan. I recently had to reinstall on wiped/cleaned laptop (workplace IT situation). Since then, the 2-factor authorizations have been creating problems. Including: a pop-up whenever I open T-Bird on my laptop, requiring me to sign-in to a ghost Google account. This would be less of a problem if either:

1] the account in the pop-up window hadn't been disabled over a year ago, OR
2] I could change the account in the pop-up to one I still have (can't) 

3] PS: yes, my settings for my other google accounts are at SSL/TLS & OAuth2 (except for the one that requires 4]PPS: No, the ghost account is not listed as one of my 6 accounts in T-Bird, and it was deleted long before I had to re-install T-Bird on the newly wiped hard drive... 5] I cannot log into the ghost account and disable the 'sign-in with google' option, because it's disabled/shuttered/NoLongerLive. 6] Yes, I've cleared the cache. Multiple times. 7] Yes, I've updated to the most recent T-Bird (158.0)

The popup only happens with T-bird, and only on one laptop (ot others I use, which also have T-Bird). I really don't think this is a problem at the google end, much as I'd be happy to blame them.

  • MY QUESTION*: Where would T-bird, supposedly a fresh install on a recently wiped drive, be pulling the ghost of a previous account as part of the 2-factor authentifications, from? Would it be in the Config Editor? Bottom line: How can I make it stop?

At Thunderbird > Settings > Privacy & Security > under Passwords > "View Saved Password", the dialog box pops up correctly. But the size of the box is so small the columns can't display the complete info i.e. username, password, or date. When I hover on the column divider I get the left/right sizing arrow but nothing happens when I click & drag the arrow. I am on Thunderbird 159. Thanks.

Address Books in Desktop Thundermail in Windows 11

I have just starting using Thundermail and one thing I am trying to understand better is Address Books in Desktop Thundermail in Windows 11. I now have the following under address books: All address books (assume that this is just everything in all the address books), Personal Adress Book (empty), Contacts ( not sure where it comes from, probably 1 or both of the 2 emails of mine I have connected), Contacts (not sure where this came from but looks suspiciously like it comes from my gmail email or emails? as it is a long list), Thundermail Address Book (empty), Collected Addresses (looks like it picks these up from emails I send or receive). I am interested in understanding what forms this initial list of address books, do they continue to reflect changes in the original source address books from outside or are they a once only transfer?), how I can manipulate them, probably to end up with: All address books, and other address books continuing various subsets for convenient access to a smaller list of contacts under these sub address book names. Can I easily copy or move addresses between address books? Documentation already answering many of these questions may already exist? Thanks for any help or advice you may be able to provide.

I am early days learning to use Desktop Thundermail Calendars in Windows 11. I have several calendars showing up in my list of Calendars. Home, My name (seems to draw input from 2 emails I have connected), New Holiday, Thundermail Calendar, My wife's name (seems to draw input from 2 emails I have connected that she wants me to monitor as she rarely uses them). I would like to get a basic explanation of what each of these calendars are and how they may relate to each other. This may already exist somewhere? For example: what is the difference between Home and Thundermail Calendars? Why do my 2 other emails only form one combined calendar?

Unable to Add a Gmail Account to Thunderbird Despite Successful Authentication

Hello,

I’m having trouble adding my Gmail account to Mozilla Thunderbird. The Google authentication process completes successfully, but the problem persists in Thunderbird, and I’m unable to configure the account correctly.

I have double-checked the account names and credentials, and I can confirm that they are correct. The authentication process has been completed successfully multiple times, and the passwords have also been verified. Therefore, the issue is not caused by incorrect account names, passwords, or authentication details.

I have attached screenshots showing the problem for reference.

Could you please help me identify the root cause of this issue and explain how to resolve it?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,
