Thunderbird Community Forum

I have created a new gmail address for my wife. Would like to add this address to my existing Thunderbird Mail account so that her emails also come to my Thunderbird email account. Not sure how to add her address to do this.. Thanks

My routine login to my Apple e-mail account just failed. neither my new Apple ID password or my old special T'bird Apple mail password xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx works.

What changed and how can I fix it?

[edited from public] @icloud.com seems to be working on Apple Mail, but T'bird won't connect...

I know TB used to have a command to search for duplicate messages. Now, after installing the program again, I cannot find this command anymore. Why? Is it me or has it been removed? Thanks.

I have Thunderbird working well on my desktop. I am trying to add it to my laptop. I am unable to get the setup accepted. the message I get is failure likely caused by wrong name or password. The name and password obviously work on my desk top computer.

I've been trying to move my Thunderbird data (148.0) from a Win10 to a Win11 machine. I've meticulously followed both the methods outlined at http://mzl.la/1ApHiU3. I have copied my original profiles.ini from the ...AppData\Roaming folder to that location on the new machine, then corrected the drive locations in the file (see attached profiles.ini image). (yes, the correct "j4sqsccb.XXXXXXX" folder is copied to the new installation's root: a bulky several-GB)

In order to try to replicate my original computer's admittedly-awkward installation from long ago, I have added the suffix " -p -no-remote" to the desktop icon's Target field. And on startup, the new T-bird does properly show my original profiles in the Select panel - even though I only ever used the one that functioned correctly, identified as 1 in the profiles.ini file (see Choose User Profile image, IDs X'ed-out).

However, on selecting that profile on the Win11 machine, Thunderbird just takes me to the account setup screen, as if it's unable to locate or load the account settings for that profile.

I'm only doing this clunky method of copying-over out of ignorance; I'd be very happy to simplify the mess I'd created decades ago with my original installation. OR if you think I'm better off wiping all evidence of past installations to start from a clean install, I'll be happy to do that. Please let me know if you need additional info I've failed to provide here!

Also adding images of my ...Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles folder and Installs.ini file, just in case!

I have saved relevant e mails to local folders in my Thunderbird account on my Applemac. I opened up Thunderbird on my MacBook and downloaded my Thunderbird account but it did not copy those local folders, merely 1 empty folder. Without these also shown in my Thunderbird account when I am away from home, I cannot see those records. I am struggling to find a solution. Are you able to help please? Alan Dowler

Hi,

I am looking for the option to have each email row display ~3-5 lines of preview text directly under the subject line in inbox pane. Without it, it's very difficult to manage the email load.

How do I do that?

There is a folder in my Downloads folder ('~/Downloads') called 'thunderbird.tmp' Whenever I delete it it reappears whenever I open Thunderbird. How do I relocate this because I like to keep my Downloads folder neat? I have not found an option for this anywhere in settings on the app.

Good morning . . . I have recently switched from an old Windows 10 machine to a new macmini, and have switched my Office 365 account over to it. Simply stated, Outlook is not working, and I have no desire to continue with it. Will Thunderbird suit my needs? Will it allow me to import my old contacts and emails, both from my Windows machine and the new MacOutlook?

2 months ago, after an update the programme opens then locks with the cursor being a multicolor rotating wheel. All is locked and the only option is to 'Force Quit" to close the programme down. Can you help ? thank you

I was able to access my Yahoo email with Thunderbird by using the OAuth2 authentication method. However, I am not able to send a email using the yahoo outgoing server. There is no selection for OAuth2 for the outgoing server. I get the message "The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) yahoo failed." What do I need to do to be able to send email via yahoo?

For years I have had 4 email addresses using Thunderbird to access email from Yahoo AT&T currently.com email (@att.net) using Oauth2. In early March, two of the email addresses stop working. For one of the email addresses I was able to login to Yahoo mail using the User ID and Access ID and establish a new Secure Mail Key. I then went back to Thunderbird and reentered the email address with the new Secure Mail Key and was able to reestablish connection. For the second email address, Yahoo mail locked me out. I have tried to contact Yahoo support for 2 weeks by filling out their forms and have not received a response. Also I do not have a Recovery Email address. Any suggestions ?

depuis le 10 mars 12 h ma boîte mail thunderbird ne reçoit plus aucun message et je ne peux en envoyer aucun. j'ai un message  : échec de l'authentification lors de la connection au serveur. Mon serveur Yahoo me demande de me reconnecter, ce qui s'avère impossible à faire. Je précise que je n'avais pas touché à mon compte en amont.

Thunderbird version 148.0.1 will not send outbound emails since updated to OAuth2. Error message is Unable to Authentic Outgoing server (SMTP) Email account will allow inbound mail , but will not send mail. Have worked through all published troubleshooting steps. Extremely frustrating!

Hi, am not finding anything helpful in the support area, so hoping someone can help me solve. When a calendar reminder pops up, and I try to snooze or dismiss, I get this message:

Status Code: 2,147,500,037, null

Server Replied with 400 If you’re seeing this message after snoozing or dismissing a reminder and this is for a calendar you do not want to add or edit events for, you can mark this calendar as read-only to avoid such experience in future. To do so, get to the calendar properties by right-clicking on this calendar in the list in the calendar or task view.

Thing is, I do want to add and edit events, so I have no other options and the reminder keeps popping up every couple of minutes it seems. Any help resolving is appreciated. Thx!
