My Thunderbird was working fine today, all messages received, could send/receive email and all parts of my profile that I had set up (ie custom archive folders) were present and had emails.. I did a Windows update and when I reopened Thunderbird there was a pop up prompting me to login to my yahoo email. I did so and now everything is gone, all folders are empty - no emails and none of the unique folders I had created. The only thing that I can tell is still present is my address book. I am also unable to send or receive emails. When I try to send an email (to myself or anyone else) I get a pop-up "The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings." I checked and the email listed is correct, the one I have been using my entire life. I also checked my Server Settings and they appear to be correct. (I have a cox.net email address which I transitioned to yahoo several years ago as instructed by Cox, as Cox no longer supports email - everything has been working perfectly until today) I also see there was a Thunderbird update done at 5:53PM today which would have been the same time I did the windows update (Thunderbird 153.0.3esr). I sent an email to myself from my yahoo website email and it never arrived in my Thunderbird Inbox but it DOES show in my Thunderbird "Sent" folder. I do have a Thunderbird backup ZIP file but unfortunately it is about a year old so obviously won't have some stuff I would not like to lose. Thoughts?????

I use to be able to mark email as junk by right click then K then J. The junk option is not there any more but spam is. The problem is both add star and as spam are both S, so K - S does not work. Need to change one of them to a different letter.

Thunderbird won't download email messages from Yahoo (formerly Cox) account

After returning from a 6 day vacation, my wife attempted to download email from her Yahoo email account. There are nearly 200 messages that have piled up but they aren't moving. I've uninstalled and re-installed TB. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app password in Yahoo. There is no problem with accessing the email via any web browser. I spent 49 minutes on a tech support call with Yahoo and they have said the problem is with TB because they repeated the same steps I have. I checked firewall settings and the only antivirus program on the computer is Malware Bytes and it's not running in the background. The version of TB is the most recent as of yesterday. I don't see any sketchy looking emails in the web version of Yahoo Mail when it's opened. It's set up as a POP3 account and has been since Cox Internet gave their email over to Yahoo. I'd appreciate any assistance in resolving this because it's currently above my pay grade and tech support at Yahoo.

Your prompt support will be highly appreciated.

When I open something in an email in Thunderbird I also get an extra new tab along with the tab for what I am wanting. If I don't delete this new tab, when I try to return to my email page it takes me to my Windows 11 home page. It only happens when I use Thunderbird and is very annoying. What do I need to do to resolve this issue.

How to set up automatic email forwarding from Thunderbird to Gmail

Hello,

My email provider is Thunderbird for my professional email address and I use Gmail everyday for receiving and sending my professional messages. However, Gmail will no longer support checking emails from third-party accounts through POP from my PC.

The option to 'Check emails from other accounts' will no longer be available in Gmail on computer. The solution that Google proposes is to set up automatic forwarding (web): To get new emails to appear automatically in my main Gmail inbox (like with POP fetching), set up automatic forwarding with your other email provider (Thunderbird)

Can you help me with the different steps  in both Thunderbird and Gmail settings to make it work? Alternatively, is there another way to still have access to my professional emails through Gmail? Maybe through Gmail app for computer that uses IMAP instead?

For your information: My Thunderbird server settings shows:  Server type: POP Mail Server Server name: pop3.mycompany.com Username: xxx@mycompany.com (my professional email address) Port 995 Thunderbird has been updated and is currently running on version 153.0.3. My computer is running on Windows 10

Thanks so much!

Repeated Win Defender AV notice of Trojan:HTML/ScrInject.AW!MTB

I've just recently (over the past 10 days) been notified about 3-4 times a day by Windows Defender which flagged "something" as Trojan:HTML/ScrInject.AW!MTB in "file" %temp%/newmsg.

That's where my copy of Tbird puts temp files. Closing it stops this behavior. Uninstalling and reinstalling w/out deleting my profile caused the same behavior, but uninstalling and cleaning out my profile files seems to have stopped this behavior.

I only have one extension, Compact Headers, and that doesn't seem to be the problem. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Currently using TB 153.0, Win 11 on desktop PC.

In past versions there was a progress bar on right end of the status line, along bottom edge of the screen, that showed progress while TB was compacting folders. That bar hasn't been visible in last few updates.

When prompted today, I allowed TB to start compacting. I'd permanently deleted a really big bunch of old emails in last few days, so probably a lot of space that could be recovered. I kept waiting and waiting and waiting, but without the progress I had no idea if TB was busy or possibly frozen. So I just left it alone. When I came back and tried to manually start compacting, it immediately said "Done, 0K saved". So it had obviously done the compacting.

If it's an option, how do I enable that progress bar? If not currently available, please consider restoring it in future TB updates. I -for one- think it's a very useful feature.

THX!
