Att made me change my account password. Now Thunderbird cannot access messages. I have entered the new password in out going and incoming but there seems to be more to this than that because nothing happens. Where do I have to put in new passwords? Thanks so much. Marjorie

When opening Thunderbird it would automatically show checking for emails by contacting, not sure, I think host, and say there are no messages. Now when I open Thunderbird nothing happens and I haven't received an email since 20th August. When I press "Get messages" nothing happens.

Also, I am in the process of changing my existing email to Gmail, but that shouldn't have caused this problem.

Hope you can assist with this as it is very frustrating.

Thank you!

I have 4 yahoo accounts. Whenever emails come in to my main yahoo account inbox they also appear in one of the other yahoo inboxes. The remaining 2 yahoo accounts are not affected in this (or any other) way.

Note that I just reconfigured Tbird in (what I believe is) a non-standard way. Before I implemented this fix, every time I opened it, Tbird crashed within 15 seconds. Figuring that my profile was probably corrupt beyond repair I switched to an earlier profile which seemed to be stable and then updated that profile by copying and pasting (replacing) all the contents of the "ImapMail" and "Mail" folders from the more recent corrupt profile into the older stable profile. Not sure whether that has caused this duplication error.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks.

My thunderbird account stopped receiving emails yesterday and is giving the message:

"Thunderbird The certificate for pop3.exemail.com.au is not valid for that server. Someone could be trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue."

Mails are still going to the Webmail account and my husband has an exemail account with the same settings that is working correctly.

Exetel is in the process of selling its email service to a third party but this isn't final until September 8, will moving to the new provider fix this issue or is there something else I should be doing?

I have a domain that has email accounts. It was established a long time ago. I want to add a new email address for that domain. The MX records point at google. I try to create a new google account but can not because it wants to verify the new address, which gmail does not recognize. The automatic account setup fails when google wants to verify the address. So, I can't add a google account email because it doesn't exist. Suggestions please,

I am having severe problems downloading and syncing my emails with TB 142.0. I opened TB this morning, for example, and it took more than 20 minutes for it to download my emails. When I go to the next email, it takes a couple of minutes to load it. I have had some issues with slow syncing before, but this is very bad. I note that the emails work fine on my phone. Also, this happens on my main Gmail hosted account, but also on my other Siteground hosted accounts. TB seems to be lost in some kind of loop when syncing.

I've moved to a new computer, and added Thunderbird to it - same as old PC. Also, I have multiple email addresses. When I add an entry to the calendar, it wants to associate the even with an email address I'd rather not. How do I change a setting to use the preferred email account?

My Thunderbird (version 115.12.2) is running on a Windows 11 system. My profile has multiple accounts configured as IMAP to multiple email services. I also have the Status Bar and Activity indicator enabled. Randomly, both indicators will show busy for an extended period of time. When I view this in the Activity Manager I see one or more folders hung for 10 or 20 minutes downloading one message out of several. This occurs in multiple accounts and servers.

I have researched this and attempted the fixes presented. I have cleared the cache files and compacted and rebuild email folders as suggested, but the slow update still occurs.

Then I decided to try and capture a ProMon.exe trace to see what is happening. What I found was Thunderbird.exe was spending all of the time while hung access the following file: C:\Users\MyUser\AppData\LocalLow\Intel\ ShaderCache\4a5eb0e65e559fc08e65ecb2fa9d650817ae895582a7a7ede162866d3e47a05a, like it was stuck in a loop.

When Thunderbird is operating normally, it is accessing this file but only for short period of times. Research says that it is ok to delete the files in this folder. I did that and it seemed to help for awhile. But it started happening again.

Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Is there a Windows thing to look further into? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm on the Release channel, but was updated to 142.0 Beta. Surely this is wrong. I am not on the Beta channel. I just want to stay updated to the most recent stable release.

I cannot delete certain emails. next after a few hours content disappears and then those emails also cannot be moved or deleted. I have stopped receiving emails on my phone as well.

I noticed that when I get calendar invites from people in Mexico or I happen to be in Mexico (I travel full time), the timezone data is incorrect. I assume that the default timezone data for firefox does not account for Mexico abandoning daylights savings in 2022. How can I update this?

I hope I can explain this well: Recently, many recurring events from Google Contacts, namely birthdays and anniversaries, now appear in Google Calendar as invitations from "Unknown Organizer <unknownorganizer@calendar.google.com>" that I have accepted (but I have not.) These events keep triggering pop-up notifications. Those notifications do not respond to the Dismiss or Snooze buttons - they do nothing. I can dismiss the dialog box with the upper-right [X], but the pop up gain every time the calendar re-syncs. I try to edit the properties of the event, but the changes do not take. When I look at Google Calendar directly with my browser, these events do not show up, only the proper ones that are listed in my Birthdays calendar.

Why did this happen, and how can I fix this. The un-dismissable notifications make Thunderbird Calendar unusable. I find many similar (but not necessarily identical) complaints going back years, but no actual solutions.

How do I attach multiple files, i.e. select more than one attachment at the same time rather than adding them one by one?

I can do that with every other app - e.g Word or WhatsApp, but not with Thunderbird.

Very simply, I want to use Insert, Image then click to select multiple files, but found no way to do this.

It seems that no way currently exists, if so could this please be put on the "to do" list for the next release?

Hi, Just got computer back from shop where - rather than upgrade - they did a clean install of Win11. I was under the impression from them they'd backup everything on a new "backup" drive they installed to double my capacity as part of the upgrade process.

They're version of backing up Thunderbird left me with a folder "Thunderbird_profile_backup.zip" that is 9,698,657kb in size.

I am attempting to install Thunderbird on the essentially new computer and restore all data from the previous installation.

Is this even possible anymore at this point?

I have data in that file that is important not only financially but archived family info from now deceased members... I'd really like to recover it.

In short help! lol.
