Hello sfhowes,

Thank you for your response and I tried to follow your instructions. In one of the two accounts, I couldn't change POP mail server to IMAP mail server. I changed the Port to 993 but I couldn't change the Default to 993. Also, the outgoing SMTP server only appeared in the Default account, and not the other. I tried sending emails to both accounts, but the emails only appeared in the Sent folders and not the Inbox folders. The funny thing is that the emails appeared in the Inbox on my other computer! Will you be able to make the changes on this computer from your end? Once again, thank you so much for your help, and I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Sheila Herman

Hello, I'm trying to setup a new email account using POP3 using the settings recommended by Privateemail and it does not work. Everything is fine if I use IMAP. But I really prefer POP3 I contacted them but can't identify the problem and asked me to revert to you. Can you please help, Thanks beforehand

After the last update to version 129 my e-mail account crashed because of incompatiblity with Eule (May 28). I had to reinstall Thunderbird from an older version and reconfigure the E-mail account (and was offline for some time).

After changing from POP to IMAP to fix the earlier delivery problem, I have lost the existing file structure, filters, etc. Comcast email is coming in fine but there are only 6 folders while there should be 47 and all the filters s are gone. I have tried rebuilding the current global-messages-db.sqlite file but it stops after 12 hours and was only 10% finished at 2 GB instead of the prior anticipated 16 GB. These are the Profile directories: 04/28/2025 12:53 AM 26,073 MB 3249x1co.default-esr-3 04/27/2025 11:30 PM 358,524 MB 6rvpjum0.default-esr-2 11/21/2024 09:29 PM 249,883 MB 6rvpjum0.default-esr-2_sav 11/21/2024 09:29 PM 6.3 MB dvldbfwi.default-release

How can I resurrect my file system and filters?

I use the desktop version of thunderbird for my EarthLink email and after being endlessly frustrated with the EarthLink mobile app, would like to start using the Thunderbird app instead. I went through the steps to export my settings from the desktop version using the QR code. New messages are coming in, but I can't see any of the older messages on the desktop version. Is there a setting or way I can see these on the app on my phone?

I m trying to set up as my third email in thunderbird an account which is mickel@embarqmail.com. It sets up using the manual settings following their server instruction fine. But it will not accept my password. I know it is correct because I can log in on their webmail site. What can I do? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thunderbird is set as my default email client on my desktop Windows 10 in the default apps and it's set in the Default Programs control panel but when I try to send a document on my desktop to mail recipient, a message comes up saying there is no email program associated to perform the requested action. It is set in Thunderbird as well as the default mail client. Cortana is no longer accessible on Windows 10 on my pc. Thunderbird is set as the email client in the registry settings, I have only a few Startup programs running on startup and cleared the cache in Thunderbird so I don't know what else to do to fix this?

I'm using Thunderbird version 128.11.0esr on my Windows 11 desktop computer.

I have many email accounts in Thunderbird and Thunderbird automatically forwards email from some of the accounts.

Occasionally I will see an error message: "Send Message Error. Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Error sending message for delivery... Please check the message and try again."

Can I trace this error back to determine which email account is causing the error?

Thank you.

After changing my AOL passwords for two accounts today, I was able to generate a login password from AOL and log into Thunderbird with my AOL accounts. However, one of the two accounts will not send email from Thunderbird, but will on my iPhone and iPad. The other AOL account is working fine. I also verified that the SMTP port is 465. So I have done everything on my end, I think there's a Thunderbird glitch.

My signature block in an external file stopped working a couple days after i migrated to a different machine (but it worked temporarily)

I went into debug mode to try and analyze but have not been able to get out of debug mode,

If I right-click on an email near the bottom of the window in Thunderbird, then the menu still opens down instead of opening up (and therefore I can't see or select many of the options). I don't have this problem in FF or any other programs.

I have followed the procedures for marking messages as "junk", including the "training", marking the messages individually, etc., and the messages are never diverted to the junk folder. They just keep appearing in my inbox. What's the problem here?

Hi all,

Whenever I send a meeting invite to another person from my calendar and I include any text in the "Description" tab of the invite, that text from the description gets put into an invite.ics file and it sent as an attachment. People using Microsoft Outlook (unfortunately still a lot of people) do not see the description text: People using the "old outlook" cannot seem to open it at all (their outlook tells them "there is no previewer installed for it"), and "new outlook" will open it but only after an extra double-click on the attachment, which is unfortunately too much to ask for certain users.

So, the result is that I cannot invite people to an online meeting because the link to the conferencing tool is hidden in the invite.ics file.

How can I send an invite where the invite text + link are directly visible to Outlook users?

I'm running Thunderbird 128.11.0esr, no active add-ons that seem related to this.

Thanks in advance!

Up until a few days ago, the app worked fine. Now, whenever I try to click on "share" (say for a Wikipedia article), the keyboard doesn't show, unless I press the "To" button. The keyboard ALWAYS came up automatically before a few days ago. Also, at the same time, when I try to send (for example) pictures, only ONE will get sent. The other aren't included in the email, and there is only ONE attachment. I'm not sure if the problem is related, but it's a weird coincidence. All this started about 3 days ago, and I'm not sure eif it updated or not, but I'm using version 10. Thanks in advance!

First when I try to write an email I put the op name in the To: box but the contact list from my address book I imorted from my new outlook(I do not have 365)does not work -there is nothing. I need the simplest way to synchronize the address book with the To: when I send an email. 2 I'm confused about export and import. I always thought I import from something and then I export to something but it seems that Thunderbird commingles the two terms. I was trying to import from my outlook new to Thunderbird. Is it a matter of language or understanding? Thunderbird seems to work except for the above mentioned feature. Please explain? 5-29-25

Every time I try to sign into my email I get a message that says I can't sign in and to retry or cancel or something. I can see my emails on the ifiber page on the internet but not on my email computer. I also have some vision problems so it's difficult to troubleshoot on the computer. I'd appreciate any help you can give me.

The 13x version appears to have introduced a bug.

When pasting links into emails, and then "inserting" the link, if you try to add any advanced options to the link (i.e. target=_blank), it doesn't create the link.

If you simply "insert" the link without setting any advanced options, then the link is created.
