Hi I am having problems signing into or adding my tpg account email address through both outlook and thunderbird. My address and passwords are correct and I have used the settings in both email programs as listed by the messaging company. The error message I am getting is that on thunder bird it cannot find the settings for my emaill account and on outlook it cant find the settings. I have had ongoing issues with my tpg account, this one is a pop3, since the messaging co took over the emails when tpg moved them to there. Issues are that i get very sporadic emails ie one week working the next nothing for long periods of time. I can successfully add gmail accounts to thunderbird and outlook without problems but the tpg one is my issue. I can get tpg emails through the gmail app on my phone with pop 3 settings but nothing on thunderbird. I have contacted the messaging co for help but other than settings they cannot help and suggested coming to thunderbird for help. I prefer to use thunderbird as my email program to have everything on one would be great again. Can anyone offer advice or assistance I would greatfully appreciate it

Today I have experienced a problem downloading new messages, bulk, trash or anything else in my mail server into thunderbird. it requires my primary password and then my regular password. I just set up my primary password so I understand why it is asking for that, but I don't understand why it is also asking for my regular password before I can get access to the mail server that I am using. the regular password was set up on 6/17/24 and until today it was working fine.

On writing an email, a draft is created every time I look at some other screen. Multiple drafts of the same email are created at various stages, from looking away from the email page. On sending the email, these drafts remain. Drafts should be removed after sending. How can I fix this?

I am moving from a win7 pc to a win11 pc. I have exported from my win7 pc fine and get a zip file of 6.6gig. I moved it to the win11 pc, where I have installed Thunderbird.

On the win11 pc I go to tools, import and it chose the import all option and press next. On the next screen there is a live button at the bottom that says next but when I press it I get nothing.

Any ideas most welcome, thanks in advance.

I just installed Thunderbird on Linux Mint (version 22.2), when I launch the application it automatically logs into my email account on my Internet access provider. I do not want that. I want the way the old version started up: it opened my local folders on my local drive, listed previously down-loaded mail and on the left panel it listed the folders on my main (current) email account followed my the list of my other email accounts/names. The top menu let me (among other actions) select to download email to the local email directory. I do not want Thunderbird to automatically log onto my web account or sync my local directory to the online email account. When I want to read my email I want to select to download the mail from the server. When I want to access the online account I log onto it through my web host's cpanel tool.

My local hard drive has a thunderbird directory (in my home directly) from the previous Thunderbird version. It contains a subdirector labeled Mail, which contains a directory list of my email addresses, in addition to one labeled Local Folders. There is another subdirectory labeled Mail.sbd.

Is there a way the new version can be set up similar to the old version. The installed Thunderbird version is 140.9.0esr (64-bit)

Thunderbird 148.0b3 (64-Bit) for Linux (Ubuntu 25.10) E2E encryption is "on" with OpenPGP and a key for this account

How to verify the signature a incoming message with a OpenPGP signature?

I am getting the message that a part of the message might be signed. If I click on the button "open and display" there is a new window with the plain text of the whole message but the signature is not verified. What's wrong?

Thunderbird causes my machine to 'hang' from time to time, often for up to a second and usually a number of times in quick succession on each ocasion. Sometimes this happens frequently - say every 5 or 10 minutes - sometimes only after an hour or more since the past occurrance. My machine hangs completely - nothing will work, mouse, keyboard, sound, other apps etc. If I happen to be typing (into any app - including Thunderbird - when this happens, input ceases, the cursor freezes and - if the problem persists for a second or two, Windows reports "[app] is not responding" I cannot be certain, but I believe the problem occurs whilst messages are being retrieved.

This is a very serious problem as it means that I can never leave TB running as the problems it causes are not acceptable. This means I cannot deal with incoming messages without periodically re-starting TB - which is an utter PIA.

I am running Win 11 Professional on a 2-year old machine with 64 Gb of memory. I have run TB in Troubleshoot mode, I have confirmed that the problem occurs regardless or whatever other apps are running (or none) and I have proven conclusively that no other app causes any kind of similar problem.

Looking forward yto hearing if others have had the same issue and what can be done about it.

The other day previews of messages quit working in Local Folders>Inbox. New messages will show the preview, but not any of the older messages. The preview area is just blank. I drew an arrow to the preview area.

"Could not connect to server mail.atmc.net; the connection was refused" message after the installation of version 149.0. I've verified my server settings & turned off the firewall setting & it still won't connect. It worked find before 149.0 installation.

PDF file attachments were working fine and now they don't.

I get no error message, but nothing happens when it's set to open in Acrobat. I can view the file in "Preview in Thunderbird" and the file isn't corrupted as I can save to disk and then open in Acrobat.

I tried restarting TB in troubleshoot mode with add-ons disabled, but that did not solve.

Thanks for help!

I have been using Thunderbird with two POP3 Hotmail accounts for some time and I am trying to set up a third account with exactly the same configuration. However, both the automatic and the manual configurations failed. The new account receives mail, but the outgoing smtp server config seems to have a problem. Sending messages times out or keeps prompting for a new password.

The Hotmail account has POP3 and IMAP enabled. Thunderbird is set to receive all cookies. I cleared history and cache after every attempt and also temporarily disabled the firewall.

Any suggestions about what the problem could be?

Hi folks. Suddenly I am having a problem with my e-mail account. I was working with T’bird this morning without any problems. Then I went to open my Firefox browser and I got a message that it wanted to upgrade to the latest version, which I did.

Now suddenly T’bird isn’t working. I got the message “ Enter credentials for (me) on smtp.gmail.com”. It has given me a Sign in page. My e-mail address was populated. Clicked on Next and got a message from Google “400. That’s an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know”

I haven’t made any changes to T’bird. My smtp is still the same. I have just looked at my Gmail on my iPad and the only thing I notice is on the menu list there is a link to ‘upgrade’ - I am not risking that yet!

Any suggestions?

I installed Thunderbird 149.0 on Linux Mint 22.2 and I can't figure out if it's a release or a beta. On the downloads page, the "Release" section lists 148.0.1. The "Beta" section lists 149.0b4. The "Help - About Thunderbird Beta" window says "Release notes." I'm confused: what are these?

I recently transferred to a new Win 11 system. I copied the profiles over and all my address book and settings are working. I have found that my calendars are not. I have three sub-calendars attached to my Home calendar, one was downloaded "USHolidays" and is working, the other two I created and are grayed out. The hover message says they are "momentarily not available." How do I fix this so they appear?

I have been using Thunderbird for ages now with no problem, but I suddenly realised that no recent emails were appearing from my Gmail account. I have tried everything suggested on line to resolve the problem, including uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird, and deleting and re-entering my acccount details but neither the IMAP or SMTP servers will connect to Gmail. I have reset all of the server settings on Thunderbird, and have checked that Gmail is IMAP compliant (which, apparently, is is now automatically). I have spent hours trying to sort this out and am just at the point of abandoning Thunderbird completely, but I am loathe to do so if there is a solution. The latest error message i have received is "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password" but I don't know what else I can check or change.

I encountered the following problem while using Thunderbird 140.8.1esr (64-bit): While moving an email from the "Inbox" folder to an archived folder named "2026", I noticed that the archived folder had disappeared! All my searches for a solution have been unsuccessful. Do you have any suggestions? Sincerely.
