Thunderbird Support Forum

When I try to import a second s/mime certificate in thunderbird it failes with the following message: "The PKCS #12 operation failed for unknown reasons." The first import works fine, but the second one doesn't. Both are created with the same script, which is using the same ca. It creates the key and the csr, signs it with the CA and put it in the p12 file. So the both differ only in the used email and the cert/key. I've tried it with the cert containing the full chain and without. No success. It's not possible for me to import it. Is there any point in thurderbird which breaks the import? A good reason I don't see?? :)

Thunderbird e-mail stopped working yesterday. It is asking for a password. I enter the password and it comes back asking for the password. It and I are just repeating this, and cannot get anywhere. All I can think of is to re-install Thunderbird, but I don't know if that will or will not fix it. What do you suggest?'

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO E-MAIL ME WHEN IT DOESN'T WORK? i CAN USE THE MAIL THAT CAME WITH WINDOWS 10.

I have recently installed Thunderbird version 102.12.0 as my email server. I created a "Default Identity" and put in my first and last name in the "Your Name" section. When I send emails, however, the recipient only sees my first name and email address in the "From" line. I would like them to see my first and last name and not to see the email address in the "From" line.

All of a sudden I can't dismiss or snooze a calendar entry reminder, or change any of the event settings (Reminders, Delete it, etc.)102.11.2 on Windows 10 64 bit.

a local IT has suggested the issue below might be the culprit?

We need to contact your email provider to ask if they can set up SPF and DKIM records for the blueocan.ca mail servers. These records currently do not exist or need updating. Google is now starting to block messages to gmail users sent from mail servers without these records in place to prevent phishing and security breaches.

I have Thunderbird 115.0b1 installed on two computers in my home. Both have Thunderbird set up exactly the same to the best of my knowledge. One of them has a dropdown box with Local Folders next to Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Archives, and Junk as seen in the attached photo. The second looks exactly the same but there are no dropdown boxes next to Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Archives, and Junk. Is there a way I can remove these dropdown boxes from my Thunderbird interface on the one computer?

Thank you, Steve

I have Thunderbird set up to pull email from 5 different email accounts/servers. For two of these (ultimately the same host but two different email addresses) I have a problem with certificates. Every so often I notice that nothing is being picked up from those accounts. If I explicitly click "Get messages" for those accounts I get a certificate exception, tell Thunderbird to accept the exception and then it will pull mail from those accounts for the next several days/weeks. I assume at some point the exception times out or something changes with the email host after a while and Thunderbird stops pulling in mail for those accounts again. It's frustrating that I have to notice there is no mail coming from those accounts so I can do the "Get messages" bit to deal with the exception.

I would like to either find a set up where accepting the exception lasts for ever once I've said it's fine;

OR

I would like to have the certificate error message come up if Thunderbird has a problem with those accounts during normal daily start-up it when I start up. It just seems odd that the error isn't reported during normal start-up but is reported if I click "get messages".

Thanks in advance for any suggestions made.

I am changing the password authentication on two email accounts (two different Windows laptops) from "normal password" to "Oauth". Same version of TBird on each laptop. As the last step in this simple process, a GoDaddy window/web page pops up asking to verify Microsoft365 account credentials. On one laptop (Win7), this window contains a normal display with fields to enter password, etc. I am able to complete the process on this laptop, and it works fine. On the second laptop (Win11), the process is the same, and the same window appears, but it is blank. There are no fields to enter the required data. I've worked on this for a week now, changing default browsers, various settings, and have spent much time on the phone with GoDaddy support, all to no avail. I suspect the problem is in TBird, but I have no idea how to find it. Support for "Normal Password" authentication has been dropped, so this email account will not work until I change authentication to "Oauth". Help.

What do you suggest i use for an email program if you go forward with the Microsoft like abortion of Thunderbird? The new Beta version looks like crap what is wrong with the old layout??????? It looks like the Microsoft borg has infested your software department.

I installed the new beta version it pretty much looks 100% unusable and I almost lost all my emails when doing the install. fortunately I backed up the proper folders so I could go back the the usable version of Thunderbird.

bold text When writing an email including an attachment, why does thunderbird show the correct attachment #, but when I click on the image, it is totally unrelated and displays the wrong image’ for ‘Thunderbird’

in coming email not working for only one of our 5 email accounts Main email account [edited] @reprographicsupply.com can only send but not receive emails. domain godaddy helped me via phone & we were able to get all email addresses to work coming in & out going except for [edited] @reprographicsupply.com. Please call me Urgently at [phone# removed from public forum]

Running TB 102.12 on MacOS Catalina 10.15.07

After accidentally deleting my default SMTP and then re-entering it, I have two problems relating to Save as Draft.

First problem: Every attempt to save as Draft causes an error message that the command could not be completed (image attached). If I select Try Again, there is an endless pause that only ends when I close the mail, which results in another error message (see error2 image). But sometimes I find that the Draft has actually been saved to the Draft folder. Sometimes not...

Second problem (much worse than the first problem): The act of Saving as Draft is actually SENDING the mail, instead of just saving it for later.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions. Tucker

I have Thunderbird installed on my Windows 10 Desktop PC. When I open the Calendar tab, in the left column under "Calendars" I have four calendars showing:

• Home,
• Contacts,
• My Calendar
• one labeled with my e-mail address.

How can I get rid of three of them without losing the data? Is it possible to merge them into the "My Calendar" one? Thanks in advance.

Hello all,

I'm trying to make embedded images that are sent as attachments display by default. I tried adding "moz-nullpricipal:*" as an exception but doesn't work. How else can I do?

Hello, I'm using TB on Ubuntu to get my emails from Gmail (French localization) I have very often an error message when sending email , impossible to copy the message into sent folder... because of the "é" in "Message envoyés" It is very annoying and does not occurs (I think) in my windows versions of TB How to fix that? thank you

I am trying to manage recurring tasks. I entered the monthly recurring task. When I marked it complete in the month of April it did not send another reminder for the month of May and the task shows as completed because I had marked it complete for April. Can I fix this or is it best to set it up as a recurring event. I seem to not have issues with the way events recur. However I would rather keep this under tasks. Would someone have a solution for this. I'd like to mark complete each month and then be reminded the following month again and so forth for each month it is due. I really hope I can enter one task for this rather than 12 separate ones. Thank you.

Recently, was automatically updated to V 102.12.0

I have lost several folders previously nested under inbox.

How do I restore these?
