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?

Thunderbird has been working well, but all of a sudden it stopped sending my emails from aol accounts. I have tried many internet solutions and nothing is working.

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?

I have recently downloaded Thunderbird Mail, and the installation went smoothly, however, only half of the folders from Apple Mail have been imported. I have tried repeating the import, but without success. What could be the reason for this, and how do I transfer the rest of the folders? I have also tried saving the missing folders as mbox files, and then transferring - but without success.

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

Thunderbird not connecting to server. It says timds out and an error occurred connecting to mobile.charter.net. I can neither send or receive emails. This started 8/20/2026

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

On September 5, Thunderbird updated to 155.0 (20260828141248) (on Windows 11 10.0.26200). I use IMAP.

Since then, when I try to delete a message, I get an error: The current operation on ‘Inbox’ did not succeed. The mail server for account <email address> responded [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn’t exist: INBOX/Trash (0.001 + 0.000 secs)

But in Settings, "When I delete a message: Move it to this folder: Trash" is set. Not Inbox/Trash or INBOX.Trash, which also exist, but Trash at the same level as Inbox. I logged into webmail for this account, and there's definitely a folder for Trash. All deleted messages prior to the update are still there. If I delete a message in web mail, it is moved to the Trash folder.

The same is true of the Sent folder. In Settings, "When sending messages, automatically: Place a copy in: "Sent" Folder on: <account name>."

It looks to me like Thunderbird is doing something different from what the Settings say, and definitely something different than what it did before the update.

Suggestions?

I try to set up gmail but get the message "Error Creating Account Incoming server already exists."

I have my main Spectrum email set up fine but I have no idea where to even begin with setting up gmail since I get the message above.

I'm aware (e.g. https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1277401) of how to toggle whether the message window stays open (opening the next message) when an email is moved or deleted. But I would dearly love for it to happen only sometimes.

Specifically, when a new message comes in, I want to read it, usually move or delete it, then read the next new message, if there is one. But if the next message is an old one, I don't want to keep having it shown to me. I keep my inbox fairly tidy, but I'm getting sick of seeing that message from a year ago that doesn't have a better place to be.

So, after moving or deleting a message, if there is an adjacent unread message, keep the window open. Otherwise, close it.

If there's an unread message somewhere else in the folder, don't jump to that one. Trust that I've left it unread for a good reason, and don't want to now constantly get shown it, and also have to remember to mark is as unread again.

If it's easier to look for other unread emails based on dates, a few days (enough to span a long weekend, for example) would probably be enough, a week at the most. Or make that number user-configurable.

Recently I posted about this problem here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1580858 In sum, I was having problems both in downloading messages from the Spectrum server and also with sending messages. I've attached screenshots of the error messages.

Matt and David kindly posted some helpful responses. The problem then seemed to spontaneously solve itself and I breathed a sigh of relief. Then a few days later it re-appeared.

This time it's not quite as bad in that I'll get the error messages but then usually a few minutes later I can download the messages or send an email. But it's still a real problem.

I called Spectrum again and this time the rep was adamant that if I can still use the Spectrum webmail feature (and I can), then it's not a Spectrum issue.

Last time Matt asked about my antivirus. I use Windows Defender (and occasionally do a manual scan with Malwarebytes free version), so if I understood him right, I should be OK as far as antivirus interference.

Matt also suggested I set TB so that I download messages at startup and every 15 minutes. I was set to every 10 minutes so I changed it to 15.

Matt said for me to check the Activity Manager. I've attached a screenshot of what that showed a few minutes ago. But I should note that this was after an error message displayed but my email downloaded anyway.

Finally, Matt said I should check the Error Console (Control + Shift +J). I've attached a screenshot of that. He also said I should use the trash can to clear it, so I did. He then said to press Shift + F5 to attempt to get my messages. But on my laptop, F5 just dims the display so no dice on that. But I have a second laptop and F5 is "neutral" on that one so I tried it there. I didn't get any new error message.

However, one of the screwy things is that sometimes I get all my messages as normal, but only after the "Can't connect to the server" message displays. And that's what happened with my second laptop above.

I hope I've provided better info. this time. And I hope you gents can help me with this mess.

Thanks,

Andrew

thunderbird Version 153.2.0esr (64 bits) Hello, following an update, email retrieval is no longer working for an account with a ....@rocketmail.com address. Thunderbird opens a "Yahoo" login window, but when I enter my address, it is flagged as invalid. Fortunately, I am still able to log in to this account via a web browser. (Google translation from French to English)

I can no longer get email from my Yahoo email account. I've gone through all the troubleshooting hints and recommendations, as I understand them, but without any luck.

I only have the one account.

The Activity Manager (see attached) shows "No messages to download", but the message at the bottom left said there were messages, but TB doesn't download them.

I think I posted my question in the wrong place yesterday, because I've had no responses. I will delete that Post.

Since yesterday I have been unable to send emails from any of my email accounts. Most are Microsoft accounts.

The first message attached 'pops up' every time I open / reopen Thunderbird Mail.

I saw something that looked unfamiliar to me under Programs and Features and have attached a screenshot of that, along with a screenshot showing the version of Thunderbird on my desktop PC.

Could updating to the latest version of Thunderbird have caused the problem?

Repeated attempts by Thunderbird to sync have alerted Google security about a gmail account I've been using. gmail requires me to sign in, but after entering my password, won't accept the UK phone number I am required to enter to verify my account. Clicking on 'Try another way' doesn't give me another way, so I'm in danger of losing access to that account.

Is there a quick and easy means by which I can permanently save all my sent and received gmail emails that are presently in Thunderbird?

These will be lost if I have to delete Thunderbird or when my PC fails. I can back up files on my PC but not Thunderbird emails so far as I'm aware.

Inbound emails are going to Trash instead of Inbox.

No changes have been made. How can I check settings to find a solution? I see nothing related to this issue. Thanks for any help.

I have quite a few tags and quite a few message filters which are set to add tags. In the last few days, although the rule will automatically add a tag when I run it, it seems to be being deleted again almost immediately.

I have deleted several now obsolete message rules in case there was some kind of stack overflow problem, and likewise removed several obsolete tags, but it seems to be still happening. Is there a maximum number of permissible tags and/or a maximum number of permissible rules that invoke tagging?

This is a new phenomenon to me. I am on the latest stable release of Linux Ubuntu and Thunderbird 153.2.0esr (64-bit)
