Forum Thunderbird zajednice

I created a POP3 account, and no SMTP config was crested in Thunderbird. So, I tried the Add option and after filling the form the line still did not get created. Current TB version, Win 11 Pro. I have several other accounts that configured OK, all Spectrum.

How do I access the notification messages so I can post them here? Because there is like 12 or more a day on each machine from multiple accounts.

I got one that mentions restricting the number of concurrent threads using the IMAP interface but no clue as to how to restrict TB from making multiple requests from multiple accounts to the same server at the same time.

Thunderbird is downloading new messages but failing to display them.

Other functionality remains active, ie I can see and open messages, delete all the contents of folders, compose and send messages, but when the software downloads new messages they simply do not display and cannot be accessed.

Not sure if it's relevant, but the message INBOX count appears to be stuck at the number 59, although more messages than that have been downloaded.

Bizarrely this is the message displayed whenever I now open the Thunderbird application (it was there when the problem first appeared and returns everytime). Out of desperation I even made a donation in the hope it would release the messages!

Thank you in advance, Steve Davidson

For the past several months the saved passwords, for my Comcast account, have had to be reset. When viewed the password vault still shows the old but correct password. It happens after a restart required for a Windows Update. I put in a dummy password, reboot, put the original password, reboot and I'm back and working as it was in the past.

Isn't password manager suppose to save the password until changed or deleted? It had in the past!

• • What I see**

When I reply to an email written in classic Outlook for Windows, the quoted Outlook text gets a big gap above and below every single line, and its font changes. This happens as soon as Thunderbird processes such a message again, for example when I view my sent reply, reply to my own reply, forward it, or reopen a saved draft. Thunderbird users who receive my replies should see the same gaps.

• • Why it happens (as far as I can tell)**

- Outlook writes every line as its own paragraph and relies on a small style rule that says "no extra space between paragraphs". - Since version 151, Thunderbird puts the quoted email's style rules into a protective container (`@scope`) so they cannot change my own text (bug 1967725). - Thunderbird's own safety filter for HTML emails treats this container as a suspicious rule and deletes it, together with everything inside it. The "no extra space" rule is lost, and the gaps appear. - Older versions such as Thunderbird 140 ESR don't understand the container at all and ignore the rules even in the first reply.

In short: one Thunderbird feature adds the container, another Thunderbird feature removes it again.

How to reproduce (no Outlook needed) The attached test message contains two quotes with the same spacing rule: quote A inside the container, quote B without it. In Thunderbird 155.0.1 quote A shows big gaps, while quote B stays tight.

What would help Keep protecting my own text from the quoted styles, but in a form that Thunderbird's own filter and older email programs don't remove, for example by limiting the quoted rules to the quote with an ordinary class name instead of `@scope`.

Technical pointers - Filter: pref `mail.html_sanitize.drop_conditional_css` (default true); `NoConditionalRules` in `stylesheet.rs` rejects `CssRule::Scope`. - Container: `QuoteSanitizer.sys.mjs` (Phase 2), called from `MsgComposeCommands.js`. - Tested with Thunderbird 155.0.1 on Windows 11.

I am starting have problem with Yahoo mail interface with thunderbird, It is not updating yahoo mail. I stared to get message " Connection to server Pop.mail.yahoo.com timed out". What is the solution? I checked server port (995) number and Thunderbird is upto date.

Any help is appreciated

Please help me log on to Thunderbird in order to open a mailbox file sent to me containing email messages to and from the church I worked for until the June 28, that were in an account they closed before I could archive materials in it.

I have recently closed my yahoo mail account, removed all traces from Thunderbird, but when I start Thunderbird, after a few seconds, I get a Yahoo sign in screen over the top of Thunderbird

I have had Thunderbird on my Mac Monterey synced to my Comcast email address with no problems. Usually I have to enter my Comcast password when I send the first message for the day. It has caused no real problems since I obtained this computer, probably sometime in 2021. Within 2023 I obtained a Windows 10, onto which I also put Thunderbird. Last November I upgraded to Windows 11 had kept Thunderbird. I did not do the upgrade myself. The technician used Google Drive and OneDrive for backup. I added a GMAIL address on that system to my Thunderbird installation on Windows 11.

For the past week Thunderbird has been popping up a Comcast site requesting that I enter my Comcast password. This is bizarre! How can I get my Thunderbird to behave more normally on my Windows 11? Thanks in advance. The technician only did the upgrade. I did the subsequent program reinstallations.

We are facing issues with Thunderbird mail application.

Incoming emails are not being received in Thunderbird. Thunderbird is running very slowly and frequently becomes unresponsive. Sending and receiving emails is taking a long time. We have already restarted the application and system, but the issue still persists.

Kindly check the mail server settings and Thunderbird configuration from your end and advise on the necessary action to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Your prompt support will be highly appreciated.

I have an address book setup with a number of what I'll call sub books for want of a better name. I used to be able to copy a contact from the address book to a sub book. I have either forgotten how to do that or something may have changed. I tried to drag & drop the address from the main book to the sub book but that doesn't work any longer. What am I missing here?

Running Win10, all the sudden I'm getting Not Responding messages, failures to connect to server, and slow deleting of emails. I tried everything: uninstalling/reinstalling; running on troubleshooting mode; checking compatibility. Nothing works. Any ideas?

Thank you

Hello forum,

I have 2 mail addresses at gmx.de. I can’t sign up for either of them for a few days. I get the note: password wrong. I use the same password for both email addresses. I can sign in to both addresses via the browser at GMX, but not in the Thunderbird that I have been using for years. I have always called the two e-mail addresses via Thunderbird. I can't explain a reason for this problem. I hope that's from any of you.

Greetings Dieter

My Thunderbird (windows) is really not working, so I want to reinstall the whole thing. I have 4 accounts and a local folder. I don't want to backup all the profiles before reinstalling, as I am having an annoying issue with g-mail (I don't HAVE a gmail any more, but Thunderbird wants to login to gmail every time I open it). I only want to backup the "local" folder, as, so I want to reinstall the accounts one by one from scratch. In that way I hope, I can purge Thunderbird of the gmail. Now the question: How do I backup the local folder in a way that makes it easy to import it back after all the reinstallment?

I am trying to migrate from Microsoft Outlook 2021 to Mozilla Thunderbird. I have successfully imported the email from a number of different email accounts. I would now like to import the archived emails held in a number of PST files. The import tool would seem to be what is required, but it does not seem to allow me to select the PST files that I wish to import. I am concerned that it will try to import all email messages from my Outlook 2021. Is there a way of restricting it to just individual PST files?
