For the first time I am trying to add several different email accounts to Thunderbird on my Windows 11 laptop. One worked fine (i.e. second email account). The next, from a different email provider, only has an inbox, no other folders. Local folders now appears below the this last email account, and includes copies of the primary email account Sent folder and my Invoices folder. There are more items in this copy Invoices folder than in the version listed straight under the primary email Inbox.

My aim is to have several different email accounts, each with their own Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Deleted, and the capability to add Folders as I wish. But I am thoroughly confused, having tried and failed to add the usual and any extra folders to this email account. Would be grateful for any advice.

I used to access my emails through the pop server however after an update there were weird things happening and somehow I managed to get my emails through the imap server. When I tried to get it back to the pop server, the default button was greyed out.

Today I have deleted the imap server, thinking that it might allow me to use the default button for the pop server however it is still greyed out.

When I went in to try to set up email on the pop server it is telling me that I already have the pop server but it isn't the default and I have no way of getting any of my emails now.

HELP!

Sorry if the acronyms are wrong. A friend is on Virgin email which is being hived off to a paying service. He'd like to keep the old virgin mail on his PC. And use a new gmail account instead.

Please leme know if somebody else are using my information. [redacted] @gmail.com and tel number [redacted phone# from public community support forum]. Plese cancel any other phone or account. Thank you

Currently my Thunderbird uses Virginmedia server. Virginmedia is getting out of the email business altogether and will delete all their email accounts in the near future. I would like to use Microsoft new Outlook as my replacement server. How do I make this change while keeping the same email address? (I suspect there will be thousands asking the same question)

Example why question is being asked:

Three separate GMX email accounts, each with its own unique password, and NOW Application-specific password for Thunderbird. Aliases are not used or desired. Three different separate accounts that should each have its own outgoing server.

Worked fine until updates to Thunderbird and changes to the GMX server, and Application-specific passwords became a requirement to send and receive email.

Seems like updates to nearly every program and/or app that may be released with the intent to resolve an issue or include a new feature breaks something else. M$ is horrible with updates and labels nearly everything as a critical update so it gets pushed through even when updates are turned off or supposedly permanently disabled by a registry hack; Windows 11 being the absolute worse ever. Why I only have one computer with M$ while all the others are Linux. Problems all the time with M$ while Linux simply continues to work.

Regardless, can setup each GMX account but the default email account name must be used as the user name on the other two GMX accounts on the outgoing server in order to send email. Then the recipient sees the name for the default account rather than the name assigned to the other two accounts, and the Application-specific password for Thunderbird must be changed to that of the default. Then attempting to pull down email for the other two pop accounts comes to a halt, and email messages can only be viewed by going to the online account.

Two separate accounts for yahoo, two for gmail, and one for Charter work fine, each has its own name and outgoing server. Should be the same way for GMX but is not because Thunderbird requires one of the three GMX accounts is set to Default.

Appears by having a Default email account, users are not only restricted by the default account, but email that is sent is done so with he incorrect name, The purpose for three different emails is for email segregation and better management; personal correspondence, business related, and Internet stuff.

Instead of having a 'Default' email account, makes more sense to use a valid email to register Thunderbird after downloading and installing, and then using that email for Support, Boards, assistance, etc. The default email requirement causes too many frustrating unneeded issues that should not occur, along with wasted time, stress and grief. Computers were suppose to make our lives easier and allow us more time for the real world. Biggest lie told since the Bell Labs created the transistor.

On Thunderbird for Windows I can choose to have mail sent from norian.org copied to a label in Gmail, and I can have archive messages on norian.org placed in All Mail in Gmail. On Thunderbird for Android under Folder options, I don't see how to do that, since I don't see folder options under norian.org for Gmail labels.

Gemini AI said that the desktop gives deep control of IMAP server settings but the mobile app (Android is what I'm using) lacks granular per account folder mapping controls and advanced server options.

It said to check for updates to Thudnerbird for Android's account settings roadmap.

Any ideas if this is planned, or if there is another workaround?

Hello,

My email server has been absorbed into another company. I do not want to continue with the new company and need to keep my current Thunderbird account active and uninterrupted. Can I do this directly with Thunderbird/Mozilla? In other words, do I need a separate email server or can I just continue with Thunderbird for my email account?

If I am able to continue directly with Thunderbird/Mozilla, what needs to happen next?

Thank you, Edward Fleming

I'm using Thunderbird 153.5.Oesr (64-bit) on a Linux machine (Zorin OS).

Most of my email addresses use POP, but with a new email address, I decided to use IMAP. When I'm disconnected from the internet, that particular email address keeps checking for new emails and saying it can't connect. I don't WANT it to connect. A message pops up every few seconds or so and is very annoying. I need to unplug my ethernet cable/adaptor periodically, since it seems to overheat, so keeping it connected to the internet continually won't work.

I have un-selected the boxes in Server Settings to check for messages. See the images below.

Any ideas? Thanks!

I just added a Gmail account to Thunderbird. It is showing the following folders: Inbox Drafts Sent Sent All Mail Spam Spam Trash Important Starred

I would like to delete the duplicate folders, all mail, important and starred. Any idea how to do that? OS is Windows 11 Pro on my desktop PC.

Appreciate information.

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?

TB is hanging on startup as it cannot connect to an IMAP server (Ping times out) I am chasing this separately. If I click on the TB window it grays out and I have to shut TB. I know which account is causing the problem but how can I start TB WITHOUT it trying to access servers so I can delete the problem account?? Thanks in advance. Paul N

If I want to respond to a message, using the sender’s Email-address as the addressee, I always get the following response: “A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and settings from identity Prof. Dr. Manfred Lange <m.a.lange@cyi.ac.cy>.” How can I make Firefox use the sender’s Email instead?
