Been using Thunderbird for years and I love it, at least I did!

Now it's dumping all my eBay and Facebook messages into the junk folder! Yes I know I can open the junk folder, select the messages and click 'not junk.'

Two problems with that, first the time I'm wasting clicking all these messages and clicking not junk and secondly it doesn't work as all my Facebook and eBay messages still end up in junk!

Another problem which like the one above has just started is that almost every time I click on a message in the top window to open it as well as opening in the bottom window where it should it open in a new tab as well!

This is driving me nuts. Is it a known problem due to a bad update or is it here to stay in which case I will have to reluctantly look for another program?

TBird 140.2. I save draft emails in my Local Folders. However, within 'gmail' I also have two Drafts folders neither of which I have been able to delete. Within my other 'outlook' account there is only one Drafts Folder. None of these folders are used for saving my Drafts ... how can I delete the extra folder in 'gmail' Thanks

Possibly this feature is part of a theme, but have not found a theme that is able to change the color for the background and font of the landing page.

There are only two options - 1. white font on black background (shown in the attached file) 2. black font on white background

I will like to use the solarized cyan colors, which is easy on the eyes.

Does not "appear" to fundamentally address my question -- but perhaps with more granularity to :How".

I do not believe the "server" of the Hosting company (Hostinger) is moving email to my "junk" directory / folder -- but tell me more. How exactly do I -- "Access the account in webmail" -- and what is "webmail" (who? what server" accessed how?) Is that Hostinger? For this to occur it would seem that "my hosting company (Hostinger) would need to be aware of TB and the existence of a named "junk" directory (OR is there generic language / coding to "derive" the existence of a "junk" folder in TB or an equivalent directory in ALL email clients?

Is there yet anyway to "connect" all similar questions -- and all similar answers (using "AI"?) to find and fully parse out those needed "details" to somehow avoid wasting significant time "marking as not junk" so many normal emails -- no "white list" wanted as most are not from known senders.

Thanks,

Dru

Att made me change my account password. Now Thunderbird cannot access messages. I have entered the new password in out going and incoming but there seems to be more to this than that because nothing happens. Where do I have to put in new passwords? Thanks so much. Marjorie

Hi, I used Thunderbird on a portable computer in installing automatically my mailboxes without issue. Then the systems suggested me to upgrade to Windows 11. I did.

But since that time I can not more use Thunderbird because it cannot set up my mailboxes on outlook and a specific national operator.

Is there an issiue in usign Thunderbord under Windows 11 ?

Tks.

i am trying to add my google mail account and i keep getting an authentication error with this message: " Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

I am using the same configuration that i used for my other google account. and i am not given the opportunity to change the password. so how do i fix the problem?

after windows update my thunderbird stopped getting emails from gmail.com I did update thunderbird too but problem remains.

question: is it fixable or I should replace thunderbird with better app?

I have recently bought a new laptop and had to transfer all my apps to it including Thunderbird. At first it managed to retrieve the messages from my BT internet server. But it has stopped working ( the last time I could get messages was on the 31st of August) I don't understand why. I can send messages, but can't receive them. I can still get them on my old machine which I am keeping until everything is properly up and running. I checked the settings and as far as I can see they haven't changed. When I try to get messages it's just stuck in contacting server mode. After a long time it gives up and gives me the message : Login to btinternet server failed with username xx- retry - enter new password - cancel. When I press enter new password - the message vanishes and I can't actually enter a password. There used to be a way to check passwords entered in Thunderbird. The other issue I have is that I can't enter my signature for emails in the composition area as it says I already have an email account with same name. Does this mean I have to basically delete my old one on my old computer? I hope you can help. The first issue started after the 31st of August.

The emails show in webmail. I've tried reinstalling Tbird. I've run a repair on the inbox. I have deleted the .msf file. I have rebooted the computer several times and cleared the cache. I can create and send a message but Tbird cannot save it in the 'sent' folder.
