Thunderbird Community Forum

I currently use Thunderbird 128.3.1esr (32-bit). I monitor 5 different gmail based accounts from it. The primary issue is that I have removed one account from the "settings : Account Actions " dropdown several times and every time I reboot my windows box the old account returns. A lesser issue but still a distractor is that my Message View Layout returns to the default on the same regular reboot. How can I permanently delete the account??? and if it's a twofer, have my message view choice remain?? Thanks. Bob.

Hallo,

seit neustem werden ich nach einem Benutzername und Passwort gefragt wenn ich die Passwörter der einzelnen E-Mail-Konten abfragen möchte. Ich habe aber keinen Benutzername oder Passwort vergeben. Wie komme ich denn jetzt an die Passwörter. Bisher wurde ich nur gefragt ob ich mir sicher bin das mir die Passwörter angezeigt werden sollen. Vielen Dank für eure Hilfe

Hallo, leider ruft Thunderbird alle Microsoft Mailadressen nicht mehr ab und behauptet die Passwörter wären falsch. Im Browser funktionieren die PW aber. Das Problem trat nicht direkt nach der Sicherheitsumstellung ab 16.09.24 von Microsoft auf da hatte ich das empfohlenen Update von Thunderbird gemacht und es funktionierte alles. Nach einem neuerlichen Update ist dieses Problem aufgetreten. Ich bitte höfflich um Unterstützung. Vielen herzlichen Dank. MfG S.Dietsch

I have an existing account (email name) that is being moved to a different server.

The new server uses a different security setting and also needs a different user name in the account settings field.

However, I can't change more than one of these things at a time because with each value added to a field, thunderbird insists on a restart, so I can never enter a consistent set. Each time, Thunderbird detects that the settings don't work and resets everything.

I tried making another account, but after working for a while that seems to have evaporated on me.

In the meantime, I'm not able to get to my mail.

Salve, premesso che non sono un esperto di tante cose però cerco di spiegare cosa mi è capitato IL 25/09/2024. Mentre operavo da mail di alicemail da casa, mi è uscito a video un messaggio tipo (vuoi associare la mail a thunderbird o qualcosa di simile), c'erano due opzioni SI o NO. Forse erroneamente ho risposto SI e non so come, dal quel giorno non riesco ad accedere più alla mia mail di alice nemmeno a leggere la posta, quando provo a entrare con le mie credenziali, rilasciando il seguente messaggio di errore "accesso al server non riuscito. Prova più tardi". Sto cercando di spiegare cosa mi è successo a parole mie, non sono un tecnico e non informatico, scusate se mi sono dilungato ma per me è un problema serio e sto cercando in qualche modo di risolvere. Grazie anticipatamente a coloro che leggono e se possono darmi dei consigli utili. Grazie

Hey folks, I have a serious issue with thunderbird and my Posteo account. Neither the calendar (CalDav) nor the address book (CardDav) can be connected to the latest thunderbird version. I always get on of the following errors: "No calendar found under this address. Check Settings" or "Connection failed". Interestingly, the chosen settings work perfectly fine on my smartphone (using Davx5). Any suggestions?

Why can I not add my startmail account to Thunderbird? I do the Re-test and the settings are found but still unable to log in at server. I've verified all setting that I use with Outlook and everything matches.

I recently had to reinstall windows, consequently reinstall Thunderbird. During installation I set up the account as I did years ago but it does not show my 23 folders. It shows only inbox & trash. So, I imported my account from a backup and it has all my folders. The problem is that both accounts have the same name, email address, & password. I would like to delete the account that has NO folders and use only the one with my 23 folders. Both accounts currently show all incoming emails. Will deleting the one account by any chance delete the other one since they are identical in name, email address, & password? Thanks.

I am maxing out my Comcast email space allowance (10 gb) and want to move it all to my PC. (i don’t want an encrypted backup, but something readable.) I thought I could use Thunderbird and set up a POP3 account on Thunderbird with the option to leave emails on the server. It downloaded only the Inbox, not the subfolders. I read on the Forum that that is what happens with POP3. My understanding of IMAP is that I don’t get the actual email on Thunderbird, because it stays on the Comcast server.

Is there a way to download all those emails and folders to Thundebird (to keep) and then delete them from Comcast? I don’t plan to use the Thunderbird client for my day-to-day email, simply to store the last 10 years of email.

I have tried to research the forum articles so that I don’t bother anyone needlessly, but can’t find an answer. Thank you.
