i CAN SIGN INTO MY TELSTRA WEBMAIL BUT I CANNOTGET MY TELSTRA MESSGES THROUGH THUNDERBIRD. i HAVE CONFIRMED THE PASSWORD OPENS WEBMAIL AND i HAVE CHANGED PASSWORDS FOR MY EMAIL THAT MANY TIMES AND IT STILL CANNOT DOWN LOAD MESSAGES FROM WEBMAIL.

Have just installed TB for the first time (replacing WLM) and am very happy with it. My only problem is that the option to open with a blank page is not working despite leaving the checkbox unchecked. I've tried checking and unchecking but it makes no difference, it always opens with the full setup options displayed. Is there another way to have TB open with a blank page?

When I use Mozilla's VPN service...many mozilla vpn servers will block me from sending out emails giving this error message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Service unavailable; Client host [23.234.88.xxx] blocked using clients.rbl.e-scout.net; host 23.234.88.xxx blocked due to abusive behavior from your network. Please contact servers@ispn.net for resolution.. Please check the message recipient "xxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.com" and try again.

Mosilla's VPN service is blocking its own Thunderbird software from functioning...lolol Are you going to fix this Mozilla??? Looks like you're tripping over your own feet...

Have been unable to access Firefox for a couple of months (have been in and out of hospital so not critical at the time). I now find when attempting to access that I get as far as the two top lines of the screen coming up, but then a message saying no message found. I know that there are messages there, also my addresses and folders. Please note that I am a very basic user, so any instructions will have to be spelled out. Thanks

Thunderbird hangs up (not responding) when I click the sign in button. What should I do? Here's what I've tried: I'm running MS Windows 10. I initiated the uninstaller, but was afraid to click "Uninstall" in fear of losing my profile. My question: Where can I find the profile so I can back it up.

why is everything going to trash in thunderer but not in Comcast.net email what do i do o i eed to reinstall it and uninstall it

can not  do restore point

I clicked on Run Filters on Folder while in my Inbox and they ALL disappeared. After some time, I discovered that they went into the Trash bin. The inbox has all but quit receiving emails since June 23rd and it appears that they are automatically going into Trash. Now...I made the awful mistake while in Trash to click on Run Filters on Folders to see if I had accidentally diverted my inbox into the trash and to my utter disappointment they too vanished. Any help will be greatly appreciated, I have some older emails that are very important and would like very much to retrieve them all. Thank you very much!

Many of my mailboxes on the IMAP server just emptied. They were still there in my Ubuntu '.thunderbird' ImapMail directory. I have created some replacement mailboxes in 'Local Folders' and copied mbox files from the ImapMail area to the Local Folder area, removing the .msf files just created by Thunderbird. I then used the Properties->Repair Folder on each of the the new Local and filled-in-the-background mailboxes. Many worked fine and I was able to repopulate the IMAP server mailboxes using drag in Thunderbird. Some, however, were mis-parsed, producing 'From-less' and Subject-less messages containing part messages. Thunderbird seems unable to reliably parse mbox files created by itself. I note that they are not strict mbox format, having a '-' instead of an envelope address on the delimiting '^From ' line. (I am a retired Unix SysAdmin, so used to the command line)

I have a rule that moves email messages from backups to a 'Backup' folder. I also have another rule that moves emails address to myself to 'My Mail'.

When I start TB 128.11.1esr in the morning my 'Backup' and 'My Mail' folders show new email counts. When I click on 'My Mail' the number on it decreases and 'Backup' increases. This happens with other rules on other folders.

So, my question is this behavior caused my 'Message Filters' being triggered when I click a folder or potentially a latent refresh of the folders new email counts.

Thanks

I am using Thunderbird ESR 115.18.0 (64 bit) Supernova? on Windows 7 Pro. Just recently one of my email addresses doesn't work. When I start TB all the email servers used to be checked automatically and display new messages in the correct individual inboxes. Now two of them don't work. A box comes up saying something has failed and I am asked to enter a new password or Retry. Nothing works. I have no idea what password it is referring to. I have tried passwords related to the router supplied by my ISP and any correspondence about my account with them. After reading dozens of FAQs and posts in the communitiy I am more confused than ever. Why should it suddenly forget a critical password? Nothing has changed apart from maybe a TB update. Thankfully the mail addresses affected are not ones I use often, but they are the ones assigned by my ISP and are used for voicemail alerts, etc. I have considered reinstalling Thunderbird but don't know how to do it without putting my two most important addresses at risk, and with no guaratee it would solve the missing password problem anyway. Can you shed any light?

I cannot "dismiss" calendar events from Google Calendars where the event was auto-added based on data from contacts in Google Contacts. The events all show an "Organizer" of "unknownorganizer@calendar.google.com". I don't want to "work around" this by disabling reminders, as this defeats a LOT of the purpose of having the calendar in the first place, for me at least. I did find that I can delete the calendar entry if I access it via the a Web browser, so it's not like I don't have "write rights" to it. It's a mystery to me as to why it can't be otherwise updated. I also noted that these events have very bizarre "reminder" settings. They have a reminder set for 159 hours before the event starts, as well as the even more bizarre 9 hours after the event. There doesn't appear to be any related settings in Google Calendar on the Web that would have caused these wacky reminder configurations.

FYI - I'm not using any calendar extensions in Thunderbird.

HELP!!!!!

Using Thunderbird E-Mail - and also have Pixel 8a phone 1. up until recently been able to "share" article from Google News to my local e-mail provider (penteledata) via "share" at jhdavis@ptd.net 2. that action would place a new e-mail in the form of a message

    Email would display as follows - 
    From:  570-xxx-xxxx@mms.att.net
    To:      John Davis  (jhdavis@ptd.net) 

3. Text of the message would display the URL (https// . . . . ) of the article

     which I could then replicate - (open link in browser) 

NOW - cannot get this link to work - the "shared" e-mail link still appears on my google phone - but does NOT appear anywhere in my Thunderbird E-mail I have not changed any settings in Thunderbird or on Pixel 8a - HELP !!!

I sent this earlier, but maybe this will be clearer:

I have not been receiving emails from Earthlink using Thunderbird since 6/26. I have two laptops, both running Win 10. One (A) receives Earthlink emails, the other (B) does not. The last email I received on (B) was on 6/26 at 7:05 am CST. I use Thunderbird on (B) and Windows Mail on (A). A is not configured for either MSN or Gmail. Only Earthlink. B uses all three.

I have two Android phones, and both are receiving Earthlink, MSN and Gmail emails.

I can go to Earthlink webmail using B (or A) and emails are there, and are accessible. (I am configured POP) As with the MSN account I log on to Gmail webmail, and everything is there.

I’m currently only receiving emails on Laptop B from my MSN (dot com) (Hotmail) account I also have a Gmail account, but get no emails from Gmail either. The last Gmail email that I received on Thunderbird was also on 6/26.

I have not made any recent changes to settings. There seems to be a common denominator in this somewhere, but I can’t find it. Can you help me sort this out? Thanks, Ted

About fifteen messages in my in box show only the sender and subject. The content is blank, but had been there earlier. Messages after a certain time and date are showing, and messages before these invixsible ones are behaving normally.

I did a trouble shooting mode restart and it did nothing (by the way how do I get my preferences back?)

The messages show on the mail server site.

I suspect there is no fix and I (possibly) can restore from backups, but I would sure like to know what the issue is.

I tried retrieving an e-mail from the "folder" where I kept e-mails from 2023. The "index" one sees displayed for the folder had e-mails from Jan-Mar of 2023, but Thunderbird froze when I tried to open any of them. I tried the repair function (which I imagine is meant to rebuild the .msf file), but after than the index contained nothing from Jan-Mar. I opened both the .msf file and the no-extension file in Notepad, but I see nothing from those months.

Any clues/help would be appreciated.
