Forum Thunderbird zajednice

I am trying to install a Google account into Thunderbird. I'm in advanced configuration and hit the retry button. The error message is that Thunderbird did not find the account. Please help.

Cannot receive new emails after the recent SOFTWARE UPDATE. Have been using MOZILLA seamlessly up till this latest SOFTWARE UPDATE. The mailbox shows the new design but no new messages are coming.

ERROR MESSAGE: Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

the geek squad copied all programs onto a new microsoft surface for my wife but did not ensure all software works as they don't want to access your passwords. when i go to set up thunderbird, i input the imap pw to the email server and first problem is that it doesn't remember the pw even though I ticked the box. second issue is that it is taking over an hour to open the folder inbox, then it downloaded 4 emails and went back to 'opening folder inbox'. clearly i am doing something wrong and would appreciate any help available from those wiser than i.

After Thunderbird just updated to Version 128.5.0esr today, now all my accounts are saying that the connection is refused. This is coming from three different email services that I have accounts on. I'm assuming it's not an issue with those servers as I can access them just fine with a different email client, and I didn't change any settings. Yesterday it worked, today it doesn't. Only thing that seems to have changed is Thunderbird got updated.

Hello, I recently came back from being abroad to find out I am not able to send emails from my MAC computer. I am able to on my phone but not my computer. I had tried everything yesterday with our server guys and there is something on the Thunderbird side that is not allowing me to fix the issues.

If I log into the web mail, I am able to send e-mails.

I feel rather obtuse asking, but how do I get my Thunderbird addressbook to sync to gmail contacts? I uninstalled Cardbook, because Thunderbird now does CardDav, I treid to create a new CardDav addressbook by opening my addressbook, selecting new addressbook, and going through the steps to give Thunderbird access to my Google account. But,

  no new address appeared in the list of addressbooks, and 
  the option to create a new addressbook is no longer avaiable/showing.

Addressbook is still not syncing. My server settings are IMAP. I still have three address books: All, Personal, and Collected.

I am flumoxed. John

When I select an email without opening it, and press the Del key on my keyboard, the email used to be deleted - but recently this stopped working. I now have to open an email before I can delete it. Any idea what could have caused this to change and how to fix it?

I am supposed to be on the esr release program, but today I was automatically updated to beta release 133.0. This is the second time this happened. Thunderbird shows a red screen, and recommends I install the last stable release, 128.5.0esr, which is what I want to do. But the last time, when I tried to go back to a stable release, it then wouldn't let me do that because it says the profile may no longer be compatible. I solved it painfully using timemachine backups of older profiles.

What is the simplest, safest way to downgrade, now that I am in this situation? And why is this happening?

Thanks for your help!

Bonjour, Impossibilité d'ouvrir les vidéos sur portail orange depuis plus d'un mois. Pouvez-vous prendre en compte ce dysfonctionnement pour la prochaine mise à jour de firefox? A vous bien cordialement.

I would like to back up my Address Books using the file extension. It used to be .mab or .sqlite, but in the version I am running (128.5.0esr) I can't figure it out. I assume it is still in the Profile directory someplace ? Thanks

After updating to 128.4.4esr I can no longer send email - NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED. I can create a new message, hit Ctl-S to save and I get a dialog box of "Status: Creating mail message..." and a progress indicator that is at 100%. I also get an error of "Unable to save your messages as a draft. Sending of the message failed".

If I attempt to send and email I get the same creating mail message and an error dialog box saying "Sending of the message failed".

In the error console I see

• Bulleted list itemSending failed; , exitCode=2152857621, originalMsgURI=imap-message://andrew@defaria.com/INBOX#67121
• NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED: Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIFile.createUnique]

I looked at my ~/.thunderbird directory and the permissions are 700. I'm on Ubuntu 24.04.

Hi, I use Thunderbird to recieve my emails and I save my emails on my mac but I see that the content of almost all emails from december 2023 to august 2024 has disappeared. The emails are not lost. It is only the content and the header? It is strange.

I have encountered the following issue about a year now .I have been using Thundebird some years now and I have created my contact list . Even though I have added in the address book all the contacts I needed and named them as I wanted. When I receive a mail the correspodent appears differently from what I have named the contact.Propably as the person sent me the email have named himself.The same applies in sent mails as well.No matter what I did ,it seems like the database from the address book is not linked to the mail database whatever I do. Please advise

I am checking i can back up and restore correctly. ( before a disaster and it is too let to test )

I have copied the TB file from appdata etc to a seperate drive to save. When i completely remove TB from my pc and then download a fresh version , i copy the backed up TB file over to the appdata TB file. This seems to restore my old incoming emails , but it doesn't restore my old sent emails. Any advice on what i am doing wrong guys ? TIA PS im using pop3.

We have had our sympatico.ca account for decades, but have recently created a gmail address as we will probably leave Bell, for a number of reasons, and I understand that we will then lose all remaining sympatico emails. We recently switched from Outlook to Thunderbird, but my guess is that we will no longer need Thunderbird, and gmail will be easily transportable, though it has some rather distasteful features, limited storage being one. My question is, is there a way to migrate the emails away from Bell and retain them. This doesn't seem to be a strictly Thunderbird question, though I'm sure it has arisen numerous times in the past. Thanks.
