Continually receiving this message "Login to server mail.talktalk.net with username aohl3894@tiscali.co.uk failed". It then says that it cannot connect to server SMTP.talktalk.net This has been like this since 23rd June. It seems that i can receive on Thunderbird, but not not send.

Can both receive and send on Talktalk.mail

With the latest updates, the client no longer accepts the self-signed smtp certificate as exceptions. The server is old and there is no way to upgrade to a newer one. It is also not possible to connect a third-party certification authority

Hi,

I'm ready to quit using Microsoft Outlook, and Thunderbird came highly recommended.

Two questions please.

1. Can I continue to use my current e-mail address? Currently my Norman@TwoKassers.com is hosted by GoDaddy, and they allow me to use Microsoft Classic Outlook. I have no idea what's involved if I were to switch to Thunderbird.

2. Over the years, I have offload lots of e-mail from Outlook's root PST file into several other folders linked to other PST files. Can Thunderbird work with all my PST files?

Thanks, Norman Kasser, Hoboken NJ

When I want to forward a link, article, or anything really, I get a box that asks if I want to install Thunderbird, which is already installed, and clicking on buttons for exit, or anything else doesn't work, nothing except moving to forward to install it again. Which I have tried, and that doesn't work, either. I am just stuck!

Hello! I used the automatic setting up of Thunderbird and it all appears alright with one notable exception. Inbox on the server (webmail.aruba.it) is synchronized with Thunderbird on my laptop i.e. when I receive messages I can see them both when logging into the server as well as locally on Thunderbird. However, sent e-mails from the server webmail.aruba.it I cannot see (are not stored locally on Thunderbird). Interestingly enough, though, if I send a message from Thunderbird (locally) I can see it synced in the "sent" folder on webmail.aruba.it. Could you help?

Hello, I have recently been unable to create new messages in Thunderbird. I am currently on the latest version, 139.0.2 (64-bit). There is no Create New Message Button, and Control + N does work either. I am also now getting a lot of extra information in the Header Pane. Refer to the Screen Shot JPG. Thanks, Graeme

The first problem cropped up immediately: Thunderbird has done a pretty good job for years of recognizing my email preferences for Inbox, Trash and Junk; now it no longer delivers email to my Inbox or Trash at startup. Almost all of my email goes to the Junk folder, including that from whitelisted senders. All of my individual spam filters and my whitelist are set to act when email is received, but I have to run the whitelist manually to get it to work (sometimes more than once). The only way I can get things into the Trash folder is to put them there manually, as TB apparently has forgotten everything it learned about my email preferences. I did take the opportunity to update my Whitelist (though to no avail), so I guess I'm sort of glad that I was goaded into doing so. But it hasn't helped.

As of tonight, I can't write or reply to an email or edit an email draft because TB locks up while it is "Copying messages to Drafts..." I've had to close TB ten or twelve times, and I've not been given the opportunity to make a bug comment during the closing routine.

I have emptied the TB cache in hopes that doing so would clear up these issues. Though that works well in Firefox, it didn't help with these problems.

I also am not too happy about the disappearance of the File Edit ... folder bar and its being replaced with a hamburger drop-down menu at the upper right, but at least it will suffice once I've unlearned almost thirty years of doing things a certain way.

I really don't want to stop using Thunderbird. I like the program, and I'd hate to have wasted the two solid weeks it took to get Yahoo! Mail to acknowledge its existence and let me connect to their service, which I did under duress. Not that I'm a masochist or anything.

I am moving thunderbird account to a new computer. After downloading and getting to login screen, I click 'done'. The programme only starts to re-assess/re-test the config. This happens whether manual or automatic configuration is chosen. When I click 'done', it only goes to find the config again. It does not begin importing the profile/account/emails.

I waited a few times ... so it could download the emails/profile/account - nothing happens. No 'progress bar' appears.

How do I get the programme to begin loading on this computer? Thank you in advance

I was searching for an email that I had just deleted and discovered that the Trash folder connected to my inbox was empty. The one connected to my Local folders, however, was not. I cannot find a setting that would instruct Thunderbird on how long to save emails in the Trash folder and am sure I did not accidentally change anything. Any idea how to fix this?

TB on PC: have noticed that my Calendar entries are not syncing up to Outlook.com. Entries added directly to Outlook.com sync okay to my PC TB. Contacts sync works fine both ways. I just upgraded to TB 128.12 but no change. I have checked all the TB Outlook server entries and they appear correct. Any ideas? Thanks.

Installation of the latest version during installation proceeds to the Finish option then goes to a Blank Screen with a Done at the bottom. The screen eventually after multiple clicks responds with "Thunderbird isn't responding".

I had been using the client with no problems with multiplr email accounts! Very frustrating after multiple attempts to identify the problem including the Trouble shoter having the same problem. Pease Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am able to style tasks that are either completed/overdue/inprogress in userChrome.css . But so far I have not found a way to style canceled tasks.

Can someone help me ?

My AOL account has a single SPAM folder; however, in Thunderbird, the contents of that folder are divided between the folders Bulk and Trash. In synchronization settings, I don't see the "Spam" folder of AOL, and in fact when I subscribe or check Synchronization & Storage I don't see the simple "Spam" folder that is on AOL. I don't have ANY filters active in my AOL account in Thunderbird or directly on AOL. I've been using AOL since its inception, and Thunderbird for as long as I can remember as well. I'm not sure when the folder structure of my AOL account on Thundbird changed, probably a couple of years ago. It's not a huge thing, but I'm thinking that if not resolved it could turn into a huge thing.

I'd like to just have the single SPAM folder under my AOL account in Thunderbird just like it is on AOL. No need for it to be split into Bulk and Trash.

I have 2 accounts in TB. In one of them Thunderbird has a folder named 'Junkmail' but on the server the folder is called 'Spam.' Thunderbird is not allowing me to rename the folder.

Any reason for the discrepancy?

My tags stopped working, right click -> Tag no longer has the list of tags, although 'Manage Tags' shows my list of tags and 'New Tag' applies the tag to the selected message, but no tags appear on right click-> Tag list. I'm using Mac OS Version 15.5 and Thunderbird 139.0.2 and have rebooted and reinstalled Thunderbird to no effect. Thanks for any help you may have!

Cannot delete e-mails from inbox. Cannot move them to Trash. Will copy only a few into trash and not remove them from the inbox. Emptied trash, compacted inbox. Read your suggestions, not help. Using Windows 10, latest version, Thunderbird 139.0.2.
