I had Thunderbird on my Windows 10 computer. I bought a new Windows 11 computer and downloaded Thunderbird. When I try to set up my email account, I provide my full name (not my Thunderbird user name) and email address. The next screen has the message "Configuration found in Mozilla ISPDB ". I clicked on IMAP and hit continue. The next screen I type in my password for my Spectrum mail account. I have confirmed that the password works went I log onto the Spectrum website. The next screen has the Authentication error "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.". I've also tried using my Thunderbird user name and Password instead of my full name and Spectrum password with the same results. I know my Thunderbird user name is correct but I can't be 100% sure that my Thunderbird password is correct.

I'm not sure if this matters but my email has the has the extension ----@socal.rr.com. This was assigned to me by my original email provider, which was Time Warner Cable. Spectrum bought Time Warner Cable a few years ago and I think Spectrum uses a different extension.

Two identical spam emails came in, and I deleted both from my Inbox. Both had attachments. Deleting them moved them to the Trash folder. When I went to the Trash folder, I found both emails had been combined into one file. Is that "threading"? I don't want any emails to be combined together EVER. Previously I had checked the "Unthreaded" box in Settings; so if this was threading, why did it happen?

Another question: I couldn't find anything to do with this combined file but to delete it. Did the act of deleting it also delete the attachments, which probably contained viruses?

This "threading" business has been going on for years now. I always check the options that supposedly disable it, but then it keeps happening.

I was trying to clean up my iPhone 16 by deleting emails, double deleting emails, not realising that they were being deleted across all of my devices. I contacted Apple and, of course, as the emails were double binned they were unable to help me. I then remembered I was using Thunderbird on an older MacBook, MacOS 10.14.6. Is there any way I can retrieve these emails? Pleeeeease tell me there is. Ive read other answers but the questions that are being answered are not quite the same. Thanks for any reply.bold text

I have been using maildir as the message storage format for six months. I have known that the implementation is not complete and that there are several known bugs, so using it is risky.

My reports that I have not experienced any problems may have encouraged other people to use maildir, so now I must report a problem.

Twice recently, my IMAP inbox did not show all messages. Repairing the folder worked the first time. The second time, repairing the folder causes all messages in the folder to disappear. Worse, it seems that it deleted the inbox file in the file system.

I do not know if this data loss was due to maildir. It may have been.

I have returned to using mbox.

Only my new Mail is shown in Thunderbird all my Yahoo Sub Folders are MIA. I need to see & have access to those subfolders to a working Email system for me.

I save important emails to archives so I can easily find them. They're gone, and I didn't delete them. I appreciate any help you can offer. Thanks, Connie PS I don't know what Thunderbird Version means or how to find it. I couldn't send this request in without that area filled in, so I put in the first number. My computer is a Dell from 2009. I'm vintage also and not very computer savvy.

HELLO! I'm having a problem with some messages. If I receive a message and the program places it in the "Offers" section, then when I try to move it to the "Inbox" section, it disappears. And I can't find it anywhere! This isn't just a problem with the latest version of Thunderbird, but has been for a long time. Today I received several messages from my bank that the program classified as "Offers," but when I tried to move them to the "Inbox" section, they disappeared!! Where are they? It's very frustrating because now these messages aren't even on the server!

PRELUDE: I have several email accounts. All accounts display properly, except one. Yes, this is similar to my question about bottom of the far left [of emails] list of emails - but this is different.

On the far left of Thunderbird is a list of all my email accounts with "Inbox" etcetera. Each email account shows it's Inbox/Sent/Deleted/ except for 1 account. The problem email account only shows it's Title and Inbox northing else. Yes, I tested it and sent emails to it, and used the problem email account to send, create a draft, and they don't show..

The image explains it.

Thanks for reading this ~r

Years ago I used Thunderbird and for some reason stopped. I have a vague memory that there was a problem either with T-Bird itself or my installation of it. Can I see a demonstration before I elect to install Thunderbird now?

Hello, I have the latest version of Thunderbird. I have a problem for 2 weeks and every day I'm working to solve this problem. I have 17 accounts and Thunderbird shows me only 15 accounts. It hides 2 yahoo accounts. If I add other not yahoo account, there are no problems, I can add them. But if I add a yaoo account, Thunderbird doesn't show it/them on Unified folders. I see them only on All folders. Thanks for your help.

I used to be able to drag and drop emails from my inbox into an archive folder. That no longer works. I now have to right click the email, select "move to", then select the account containing the archives, then select "archives", then select the destination archive I need to send it to. On the right click drop-down there's an option to "move to *** again" but if you're moving emails to different archive destinations, that's not very helpful. Is there a setting to reinstate drag and drop?

I'm seeking a minimal Google, Facebook or Gmail environment. I use an android phone and an Apple miniMac os. Do you associate or offer an email service that allows me to achieve this?

Thunderbird Version 102.14.0 When in the Folders, Unread Folders only view and selecting a specific user folder in the Folders pane which contains a specific unread user email, then selecting a specific user email within the folder in the Emails pane, if the All Folders view is selected, then deselected, the specific folder location (which was highlighted) of the specific email being viewed in the Read pane is lost if there are no unread emails remaining. There are multiple ways in which losing the specific folder location of a specific email is lost.

Another more general condition. With no unread emails, view All Folders only. Select a specific Folder. Select a specific email within the Folder. Switch to Unread Folders and deselect All Folders. Select All Folders again. Although the specific email is still selected and in the Read pane, there is no indication as to it's specific folder location in the Folders pane.

How can the specific folder location of a specific user email be determined after it's status has changed to Read? For a specific email, the "Location" column in the Emails pane would be a logical choice, but it is blank and contains no information. This question is also not related to the Thunderbird app folder locations such as Profile. This question is a functional question about Thunderbird email attributes.

how do you get back to email inbox from an open email without having to scroll backward through countless previous openings to get back to inbox and click to reveal it again

the default font for writing texts is too small for me to easily read. Yet when I send the message the text size too large, How do I control these font sizes independently
