When clicking the "cloud icon" ("get all new messages") I would expect it to check all accounts. But it only check the account that is currently displayed (not the others). Is this a known bug? Is there a setting for this?

End user reported he is unable to forward emails. Through troubleshooting found the issue only in folders he named first name last initial for example "John S" were unable to forward emails and forward button did not work, but folders name with just first name "John" forward without issue. He changed John S type folders to John folder and forwarding worked in the renamed folder. No adds-on exist for this user as they are blocked for our end users. I had him check Error logs and got the following error message:

Uncaught (in promise) NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY: Component returned failure code: 0x8007000e (NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY) [nsIMsgComposeService.OpenComposeWindow]

Hi everyone,

I have been using a OTENET (Cosmote, Greece) e-mail account (apel50@otenet.gr) in Thunderbird on a laptop for years. But since a couple of weeks I have a problem with outgoing mail. No changes in configuration.

=> Incoming mail: Works still perfectly via POP3 (mail.otenet.gr, port 995, SSL/TLS).

=> Outgoing mail: Consistently fails on mailgate.otenet.gr. Tested on port 465 with SSL/TLS and port 587 with STARTTLS, as well as via different network connections/hotspots, and just to be sure also on smtp.otenet.gr. The following error:

"Verzenden van het bericht is mislukt. Er is een fout opgetreden bij het verzenden van e-mail. De mailserver antwoordde: Reject, id=18742-18 - SPAM. Controleer het bericht en probeer het opnieuw."

I have already contacted Cosmote support, and they verified that the account status is completely fine and that smtp.otenet.gr is indeed the correct and active outgoing server. Even a simple, plain-text test email with a normal sentence gets rejected immediately by their server-side filter (amavisd / SpamAssassin).

Could this be related to a specific header, authentication method, or sender-identity mismatch in Thunderbird when communicating with modern Telekom/Cosmote SMTP infrastructure? Any advice on what to check would be greatly appreciated!

Warm regards, Anna

Managed to delete my primary default email account. still have secondaru. therse are both gmail accounts that I access in Thunderbird. I lost everything for my main account. But I have been trying to add id again and at least start using iut again. I get so far tnd then I get windows saying that I have to log in using gmail/google accout. I have gone on the gmail phone app and changed that. I have gone into google aqccount on PC and changed that, but it still keeps happenng. I never had to log into google before. When I am able to look at my inbox there is nothing there the new messages are not being omported and I actually seem to have no real access to the account. Suposedly Thunderbird is linked to my google account, but I have no idea what the heck to do or how to do it evidently. Can anyone help? Is there anyone I can speak to on phone to walk me through things?

My emails are being sent twice to the recipients. To notice the problem I've had to read the message exchange from another client, as from TB it is impossible to see the issue. In fact, from TB it appears as if the nessage are being regularly sent once and appear just once in the Sent folder. I had unchecked the "Copy to sent folder" option, but this way I have no way to see sent messages from TB, which seems like an importante feature being lost, so I would like an alternative method. For clarification, I repeat: messages do not appear twice in Sent folder but are delivered twice to my recipients. From TB itself it wouldn't be possible to get to see the issue. Thank you for the help.

Edit: I should add that this problem ONLY occurs when I'm replying to a message I received.

Since yesterday, I am being asked for a password to access my emails. This is the first time this has happened to me and I have no idea what my password it so I am unable to get into my account so not receiving emails. What can I do?

Emails are still coming through on my gmail account. ([redacted]@gmail.com)

I guess I won't know if anyone replies to this thread as my emails aren't being received.

Would be grateful for any advice.

A couple weeks ago, Tbird downloaded a second copy of all the emails in my inbox (3000+) when I asked it to download new emails. It would only stop when I shut down Tbird, but kept downloading again as soon as I hit the button to download new emails. Now, it has started doing it a third time. How do I stop it this time and in the future?

I recently setup a PC running Ubuntu with Firefox and Tbird. I normally use Pegasus Mail under Windows, and Tbird has a similar look I'm familiar with. But I got into a mess with Export/Import. My default Tbird install was for an IMAP account and she had already setup folders, received mail, created folders and posted mail into a local folder folder tree. I hadn't realised this and decided I prefered POP which was running on my other mail clients. In my merry-go-round of abandoning IMAP which I thought would be just changing server credentials but was so hard I started from scratch with a clean Tbird install. I used Export/Import and each time Import was creating duplicate local Folders until my original folder tree became a real mess. It does the same even though I only now have a POP server account. I'm not convinced deleting duplicate folders with mail content actually deletes them either, because folder size inside the profile appears unchanged.

At the same time as using Export I also made backup copies of the profile in the hard drive Tbird folder. When I retrieved a profile backup and copied it back to the Tbird folder, the folder tree was what I expected from a restored backup - Exactly as it was before, with all local folders containing emails.

I am wondering now if Tbird Export/Import isn't what I would regard as Backup/Restore, but appends folders to existing as duplicates without replacing and overwriting? Anything to help me understand the Export/Inport function would be helpful? Thanks

i am migrating from Outlook to Thunderbird and cannot see how i can migrate my tasks: i have trawled the internet but can only find out-of-date info about old versions of TB or using 3rd party tools: how can i sync TB tasks with Outlook or at least import tasks from Outlook for access in TB?

I've been using Thunderbird for about 15 years. Just started it up this morning to check my mail and it updated itself to version 160.0 (64 bit) code name Meadow. All seemed fine until I tried to search my messages and noticed that the interface was completely changed as compared to what it used to look like. No matter, I entered a search filter (Subject contains USPS) and clicked on the Search button. Nothing happened. No indication of progress, no results, nothing. What's more significant is that it returned no hits when searching my Inbox, even though that mailbox contains about 50 messages with USPS in the Subject line.

So ... what happened to the Search Messages function?

so anyone who known this when you check your Email why does it take so long for the check to fail! So I went looking for a fix and found it in advanced preferences

mailnews.tcptimeout set to 100 over a minute wait thats just wrong so set it to 5

Hi,

I'm a bit helpless. Everything was working just fine with Thunderbird, but now it seems like my Outlook account just doesn't connect anymore. I was unable to send any message anymore yesterday. Today, I tried to disconnect and reconnect it, and now, when I try to set it up back again, it just takes forever as you can see on the image.

How come ? What can I do ?

Thanks,

Enclosed are jpg copies of the current sets of filters failures in my TB email program.

TB Error0 shows the 6 emails that have arrived and are placed in the INBOX. However, each of these has a corresponding filter set up to move them upon arrival to a separate subject email mailbox.

Note: If I highlight the INBOX and then go to Tools > Run Filters On Folder ... all of these INBOX email messages will be correctly filtered and moved to their respective email mailbox, BUT each of them is shown as having been "read" and unless you pay close attention, you may not know where these INBOX emails were sent.

I am also enclosing TB Error1 & 2 that show the last couple of days message filtering errors.

I can find nothing wrong with how each of these filters are set up, yet they seem to consistently fail to operate when new emails arrive.

Note one of them is for incoming emails from ... schiffsovereign.com. I have edited this filter repeatedly, even deleted it and re-input the information. Yet the filter never takes hold and does what it is designed to do. I am enclosing a jpg of that specific filter as TB Error3

I am looking for suggestions on how to fix this problem.

Thank you and best wishes,

Received messages show as tabs - rather than listings and are often repeated .. This only happens in Windows version not in Android (which perforems and displays perfectly - see attached upploaded image.

I looked it all up:

Incoming (IMAP) outlook.office365.com 993 SSL/TLS OAuth2

Outgoing (SMTP) smtp-mail.outlook.com 587 STARTTLS OAuth2

Use IMAP not POP

Use OAuth2 not password

Username is my msn email address (username@msn.com)

I have spent all evening and all night trying to set this up and it has failed every single time. I used AI to double check all the info setting. I found nothing on Mozilla or Mozilla Thunderbird to help.

It should work and it is not working. There is no other information I have found that would contribute to solving the problem.

Hello, I'm currently having a problem with Thunderbird version 15.9. I can no longer sign in to my Google-Account after I set new passwords and entered them in Thunderbird. Several attempts were unsuccessful. I then deleted all entries related to my Google account. Adding the existing account again failed. I received two error messages. Error message 1: “Waiting for authorization during sign-in". Error message 2: “The inbox server is already in use.” An other E-Mail Account runs perfect. I urgently need help.

After this last "update" that went backwards in usefulness I can not find folders that I had with a lot of info I want and need, both business and personal. IF this can not be fixed do you have a recommendation for a better free email client system? I have lost needed information.

Your how to find what version I'm using is garbage, try to either make the instructions complete with a step by step for what option to go to or make it an auto fill when coming to this page. I had to guess.

Thank You Mike Gert [redacted]@gmail.com

Is it possible to install Tbird on different filesystem separate form the OS without having symlinks coming from the OS area i.e installing it like a portable?

I checked out a couple of Thunderbird-*.tar.xz packages from the [[Mozzilla Archive.|https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/]] Mozzilla archive. Unpacked them in the target area and discovered that the permissions of the executables were not suitable, not set to execute it was all read/write.

The official only gives you the option of the default, $HOME and no where else. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/installing-thunderbird-linux ' "Why do this: Putting Tbird and its profile together in a separate area allows me to keep a long term backup of an account before I delete it. It becomes a trivial matter of restoring and access the contents without relying upon an existing tbird installation. This is trivial in Windows with a portable Tbird, it only adds about 350MB to the backup.
