THUNDERBIRD ISSUE W/ CALENDAR & EMAIL ADDRESSING

I have used Thunderbird for years. Within the last couple of weeks I have noted 2 issues. 1st is the calendar issue with Reminder function. Reminder that have been listed w/ reminders, and repeated, for awhile, suddenly don't have the REMINDERS activate. They have in the past. Now, old events with REMINDERS, don't have the reminders activating. Nothing on the event listing has changed. I have reentered the event listing with no success in getting the reminder to activate. Interestingly enough, it doesn't affect ALL the events: just some. Same with ALL NEW EVENTS. Sometimes the event reminder activates and sometime not. Checked all the settings, version is up to date. I'm flummoxed.

2nd is addressing email. Names I have had in my address book for years, while coming in during auto-fill, are asterisked as not in the address book. I have reentered an asterisked listing but it still shows as not in the address book. Once again, it doesn't affect all listing, just some. I haven't anything & the version is up to date.

I've got a gremlin somewhere, but not adept enough to take a deep dive into operational settings.

I accidentally deleted a gmail account from thunderbird but I cannot reinstall it. If I go to new account, put in the user name and email there are green ticks. When I click on continue I receive a green tick and message 'configuration found in Monzilla ISPDB. But when I click on continue it takes me to what looks like google. The top of that page says 'enter credentials for xxx@gmail.com on imap.gmail.com. Below that is https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en and a message to check the Monzilla support site for instructions. And the Monzilla page says 'waiting for authorisation in loginpopup' and a blue circle goes round and round.... Help!

I have just installed Thunderbird 139.0.2 and I am no longer getting event reminders. How can I restore the capability to have the event reminders displayed?

Fixed this event reminder problem: checking the settings box to "Show missed reminders for writable calendars" enabled Thunderbird 139.0.2 to open the reminder box to show the event before it is going to happen, as well as showing the event after it was going to happen. Never had to explicitly do this with previous versions of Thunderbird in the 20+ years I have been using the Thunderbird calendar.

Greetings

After updating to 140 (release update channel), IMAP folders keep downloading all emails in a folder, even though the vast majority of them are already local. I get the message "Downloading message x of y in folder" and it goes folder by folder, some of these folders have a lot of mail so this can take ages.

I do have a lot of folders and emails, I have tried compacting and searched for weeks, and only very old and not exactly this issue, any ideas?

I've been receiving gmail on Thunderbird for about 7 or 8 years and I really like it. For the last 3 days every message received in Inbox has been deleted whenever the message has been closed (these are messages that weren't supposed to be deleted), even when I've tagged them for future referral. Moreover, I set up a substantial list of folders and there were numerous emails saved in some of them. All the folders are now empty and I don't know why this has happened. I'm an 83-year-old non-technical person and I don't know where to start to try to fix these problems. I read some of the other questions but I didn't see any problems like mine.

I can't send any emails with my personal outlook account. It always says "Login to server smtp.office365.com with username xxx@outlook.com failed." Receiving mails works fine. Both my IMAP and SMTP authentication are set to OAuth2.

Here's my account info found in troubleshooting information.

   account14:
     INCOMING: account14, , (imap) outlook.office365.com:993, 3, 10
     OUTGOING: , SMTP.office365.com:587, 2, 10, true


I've tried:

  • Removing and re-adding the account
  • Deleting oauth2.issuer and oauth2.scope in config editor and re-login
  • Adding the account in a new profile
  • Switching to basic authentication for SMTP

They don't solve the issue.
