Thunderbird コミュニティフォーラム

When replying to an email or sending a new mail I get the message :- An error occurred while sending mail. Server responded : You need to authenticate when sending mail from (ip address) Please check "message Recipient" and try again. How do I authenticate ? Thanks140.7.1

These are some things I have explored:

   • It is happening whether I look at emails in Thunderbird or through Gmail on Google Chrome
   • Even if I clickndrag them from deleted to inbox they fall back into deleted.
   • I’ve tried gmail/settings/all settings/filters and there aren’t any
   • I’ve tried gmail/settings/all settings/forwarding and there aren’t any
   • If I access Gmail via Microsoft Edge, the emails stay in Inbox
   • I’ve looked at various things in Thunderbird and unticked something in ‘When New emails arrive’ because I thought that might work.  

It started happening about a week ago.

As the title says, over the last two days Thunderbird won't do SMTP authentication to Outlook. It has worked happily for years and nothing at my end has changed.

I've the latest version of Thunderbird - 140.15.0esr (64-bit) - and this is Windows 11. It works happily from the Outlook desktop so the password is correct.

The authentication method is OAth2 and connection security is STARTTLS. Server is smtp.office365.com and port 587.

Anyone else having issues? Presumably MS have changed something (again)

Has anyone any suggestions on how to resolve?

My Thunderbird Account was updated by TB on 2 September. Since then all of my new emails go to Trash. Although I've tried the various responses to such questions, I've been unable to change the problem and get my new emails to come into my Inbox. I'd very much like your assistance please. Thank you.

This problem happened after the September update. No changes to any message filters. I am not the only one having this problem. What changed in the update that could have caused this problem? I have had to delete the problem account from Thunderbird because every time I move the messages back to the Inbox in Outlook, Thunderbird would move them back to Delete.

Hey guys,

So I am trying to create a rule that will delete emails on the server that are 360 days or older.

I know you can go into settings...

>> leave messages on server >>>>>>For at most ,,,,,,,

But from what I have read that only deletes emails on server from when they were downloaded into thunderbird.

I am new to thunderbird so that wont work for me.

So I went into message filter....thinking this would work

>>>>>age in days > is greater than > 360 days >>>>>>>>>>>Delete From Pop Server

But nothing happens???? Help!

Your input is appreciated

I've been using TB for years and all has been working well. But now I have no idea what is going on.

When I try to download new email from my Yahoo account (using pop3) it tells me that it is downloading 1 or 25 (say) and none get downloaded.

Then I delete some emails in TB and a little while later those deleted emails get downloaded again but none of the latest emails. Even if I logiin to Yahoo and delete those emails, TB seems to manage to download them again. How?

If I delete the first email it should download sometimes the rest will download but not always. Sometimes when I update to the latest version of TB emails start downloading.

I have tried to doing a repair on the Inbox but this seems to make no difference.

I've no idea what to try. Anyone got any advice/suggestions?

Also, how do I get from the Beta version of TB to the stable version? I don't even remember choosing to use the Beta versions.

Lastly, I often get pop-up messages saying that folders cannot be compacted because something is using those folders. I've never understood why TB puts out this message. Why does it not just compact the folders when it has done whatever it is doing? Is there a way of stopping these messages and finding out what is using the folders?

I have a large number of filters, and an important email was processed to move message into a folder. but the filter had no rule that would apply to the message. all the filter criteria were based on the sender, but that email did not have that sender. the filter log shows the filter being applied anyway. I suspect the filter database is corrupted. How can I fix that? i noticed my version is slightly out of date, and I will update it, but I dont expect that would fix a corrupted filter database .

I'm a newbie. I am financially obligated to have an ATT/Yahoo email acct. It is 2-factor ID. Can't properly save and utilize the email there, but must keep acct. Need to set up Thunderbird so that I can transfer/save those emails to Thunderbird. ZERO help from Yahoo... If it is possible to do, hoping someone can give easy steps to accomplish. I can try to explain further... If so, very many THANKS beforehand. scooter

Aloha. I'm helping a friend with setting up a new Windows 11 PC, and cannot get Thunderbird to connect to Spectrum's servers. I spent an hour on the phone with Spectrum support and they just gave up and said it must be an issue with Thunderbird. Here are the details:

- Brand new Dell 24 All-in-One EC24250 - Windows 11 25H2 plus all additional fixes. - All Dell drivers updated. - Thunderbird V155.0 64-bit

If I click on 'Get Messages' after a while I get: "Connection to server mail.twc.com timed out". I've gone into the config editor and changed mailnews.tcptimeout from 100 to 500 and still get the error.

In the Account Settings | Server Settings | Test server connection I get: An error occurred connecting to mail.twc.com:993.

I've tried this with both setting up a brand new account in Thunderbird, and also via copying the 'Thunderbird' folder from %appdata%\roaming from her old machine.

Email configuration (from Spectrum).

IMAP Settings Server name: mail.twc.com Port: 993 user name: abcd@hawaii.rr.com Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password

SMTP settings Server Name: mail.twc.com Port 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal password

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this scenario?

Hello everyone! I also had the error, it randomly started moving messages to folders. I deleted everything, reinstalled (155.0.1), started building message filters. I'm at 29 now. (Gmail account) now I'm not getting new messages. For every filter I get a message saying that the filter could not be applied. No messages are coming, anywhere. What's going on?

now i am getting mail but my dad and my brother both said they are sending mail and it says undeliverable I tried sending to my self and it came through I have Thunderbird through Comcast. i see mail in Comcast that is coming through so i do not know why. the only thing i could think of was they tried yesterday when the update was going through i received a mail at 7.15 this evening so i have no idea why it would bounce back did nothing to change anything

I have three email accounts. One is with a btinternet.com domain, and Thunderbird 153.2.0 has started not fetching emails from it while getting all the others. I've removed and reinstalled the account and things work fine for a few days but then it stops again.

All the security settings, etc., seem correct, and I'm not getting any error messages, just nothing happens.

Any thoughts from out there?

Today I started to receive this error message when I went to download emails from my aol account to thunderbird. This is the first time this has happened. "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox." We have plenty of disk space so that can't be the problem. I could see many other people are experiencing this problem and there seem to be a variety of solutions depending on the circumstances. We are on Windows 11, we don't have McAfee installed but us Norton antivirus. I tried checking the settings, I've rebooted, and not sure what else to do. I can't remember some of the other comments I read. However, I am not technical and couldn't understand most of the suggested solutions. How do I get remedial help to figure this out?
