I have two computer terminals. One is connected to internet. THen I have another with an internal network set-up, not connected to internet. Thunderbird installed on both. I download emails on the internet computer, export the messages on a USB stick and import them in my Thunderbird in the other computer. Answer the emails, then export from the outbox and them import to the outbox on my internet computer in Thunderbird. This has worked fine up to now, but since some days I can't send the emails after having imported them in my outbox. I have to reopen each email and send it, and then it goes. But I can't just click send and it sends all one after one. what happens is it processes the email for about a minute and then gives an error message. On each email. What to do?

This symbol appears in the column between "Size" and "Subject, and shows as Orange in colour. I have a junk message with this flag, which I cannot delete from my "All Mail" folder, even though I have taken the steps to delete the trash folder (in case it was corrupt). Can I remove the symbol or is it set by the sender, and If I can, will this allow me to delete the email?

I have followed the instructions in the article Blocking a Sender but I can not get the Sender address into the Block List filter created. Do I have to type it in the field (having clicked on +) manually or if not how do I get it from the Sender field on the e-mail to the correct field in the Block List filter? It seems that the Message Filters is not actually on the Tools menu and when I click on that at the top of the Help I can not get the Sender address into the correct field. So perhaps somebody could say how (in detail) I do it? Have I missed something obvious?

The audio level for me email notifications is barely audible. I have to crank my windows volume up to full volume to even be able to hear a sound and even then it is very quiet. Then when I use ANY other program I have to drop the volume all the way back to around 25 or 30% to keep from busting my ears. I didn't use to have this problem but something happened to Thunderbird and my sound level that I can't figure out how to remedy. The problem is only with Thunderbird.

Hi, I was trying to add a new Google account to Thunderbird today and was rejected by Google! Google says: "Mail clients like Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird are less secure apps to access your account"!
I am not asking for help overriding that feature/block, because I know how to do it in my Gmail settings.
But... Is this statement really true? If not.. We need to tell Google to stop telling users that lie. This is a whistle call and request for information from security experts within our great Mozilla community!
Please provide me some honest facts about Thunderbird security and I will launch a social media campaign to get Google to stop this nonsense... OK? I believe this is more of the business-as-usual where corporations use scare tactics to keep customers under their exclusive control and spying activities. We need to fight back... Folks need to know the truth! Thanks! - Ben Sheppard, founder Marketing Web Media & Harmonic Alchemy Productions

Good evening,
After several years on an Outlook-based email system, my company recently began migrating to a gmail-based email system. I'm trying to get a jump on things and I want to move all my saved Outlook emails to my gmail account. (On the Outlook system, emails were automatically deleted from the inbox after 30 days so I had to create a pst file.)
I've been working all day on a method to move my emails...my company's archaic and over-zealous email security settings haven't been helping things....and finally figured out that I could save my PST data file convert it to mbox files, open those files in Thunderbird, setup my gmail account through Thunderbird, and copy the emails over....great!
Except....I can't get it to copy more than a few emails at a time....and it hates to copy any email that has an attachment. Some of my saved email folders have 500+ emails in them. Are there any settings I can change it get it to just copy the whole folder of emails (and to not skip over the emails with attachments)? Or should I prepare myself for a long weekend of copying?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer this rookie!

Thunderbird gets slower and slower. While waiting for msgs to download the progress bar moves but it takes a long time. Sometimes it stops downloading and sometimes it will only download one msg of several. Meanwhile I can use Firefox to access my provider and see the email and read it, while Thunderbird is still cranking away.

After updating to version 31.5.0 Thunderbird some of my imap server accounts will not function. They do on my other machines (not updated). Getting mail or sending mail I get this message: "checking mail server capabilities .." It will eventually time out. SMTP settings have not changed (using port 25). I have "allowed" Thunderbird.exe in windows firewall. Using Norton Anti Virus. Have tried disabling temporarily. Am able to access smtp.googlemail.com (different port).
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Multiple Drafts Are Being Saved And Not Deleted When Email Is Sent

I've been having this problem ever since the beginning of February 2015, which may have coincided with the latest Thunderbird update. I have 31.5.0.
I have no idea how to set auto save for drafts, but I can now see that Thunderbird does this every 5 minutes.
However, instead of saving over the original draft, it is creating a brand new draft every five minutes. And when I click "Send", all of the drafts remain in the Draft folder. So I have loads of multiple drafts for each email appearing in the Draft folder every day.
I use one draft folder for all accounts, which is located in Local Folders/Drafts.
I had each account set to Copies And Folders/Other/Drafts On Local Folders
However, since this problem I changed each account to:
Copies And Folders/"Drafts" Folder On:/Local Folders
Any help would be appreciated...

I am running Thunderbird 31.5.0 on Windows 7. When I open the program everything is normal but when I try to check my mail it is unable to connect to my server. I have contacted my mail server and they say everything is good on their end. I can access my mail by web mail. They gave me settings to check in Thunderbird for the incoming server and port but when I go to tools/account settings/server settings/account actions/create a new account, then "get a new account", I get the error message "Sorry - we're unable to communicate with our sign-up server. Please check your connection." When I try the "use my existing e-mail" button and fill in the information for my existing account and hit continue the next page appears with the error message "! Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your e-mail account." Everything was working normally until I loaded the latest update last week. I run Thunderbird on multiple computers and I am having this problem on all of them even though I only ran the update on one. How can I check and possibly edit my existing account's server settings? Or is this problem located somewhere else?

It is an intermittent, but a regular-enough-to-be-really-annoying occurrence........when someone sends an e-mail, to which is attached a photo of some kind, or a picture document, it will replicate in my inbox, sometimes 100 or more copies at a time. I delete all of them, empty the trash, and will also go to the Yahoo web version of my e-mail and delete the offending e-mail from there and empty the trash. Sometimes worked. Now that process isn't working, and this particular e-mail just filled up my inbox with over 100 copies of itself, even after the other steps were taken. Can't get any incoming mail.
This log jam of replicated e-mails prevents incoming and new mail from reaching the inbox.
Needless to say, am not too happy about it. What is causing it, and how do I fix it, other than to go to Outlook for my e-mail client....? :0) This, coupled with the constant "not responding" each time I try to send an e-mail, delete items from the "sent" or inbox folders, is really driving me nuts. We have a crappy internet connection, and that is likely part of it, but the "not responding" is not a new thing with Thunderbird, either.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide. I dislike the web version of Yahoo, and don't want to have to switch to that, as it just doesn't meet e-mail needs. Would like to get Thunderbird fixed.
