“My Spectrum email address is [redacted]@charter.net. Spectrum webmail can send and Thunderbird can't receive or send. The outgoing server is mobile.charter.net and the connection times out. I tested the connection from my computer and ports 587 and 465 both respond successfully. Thunderbird is set to No Proxy. when i tried to send today, it gave me this message, "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) mobile.charter.net timed out. Try again." i contacted spectrum about this and now when i try to send, it says nothing and the message never arrives.

Thunderbird comes up as not responding - tab names appear but he last tab is constantly trying to open. This began about 2.00pm Tuesday 15th September. Shutting down & restarting has no effect - please help!! Brian

What I see When I reply to an email written in classic Outlook for Windows, the quoted Outlook text gets a big gap above and below every single line, and its font changes. This happens as soon as Thunderbird processes such a message again, for example when I view my sent reply, reply to my own reply, forward it, or reopen a saved draft. Thunderbird users who receive my replies should see the same gaps.

Why it happens (as far as I can tell) - Outlook writes every line as its own paragraph and relies on a small style rule that says "no extra space between paragraphs". - Since version 151, Thunderbird puts the quoted email's style rules into a protective container (`@scope`) so they cannot change my own text (bug 1967725). - Thunderbird's own safety filter for HTML emails treats this container as a suspicious rule and deletes it, together with everything inside it. The "no extra space" rule is lost, and the gaps appear. - Older versions such as Thunderbird 140 ESR don't understand the container at all and ignore the rules even in the first reply.

In short: one Thunderbird feature adds the container, another Thunderbird feature removes it again.

How to reproduce (no Outlook needed) The attached test message contains two quotes with the same spacing rule: quote A inside the container, quote B without it. In Thunderbird 155.0.1 quote A shows big gaps, while quote B stays tight.

What would help Keep protecting my own text from the quoted styles, but in a form that Thunderbird's own filter and older email programs don't remove, for example by limiting the quoted rules to the quote with an ordinary class name instead of `@scope`.

Technical pointers - Filter: pref `mail.html_sanitize.drop_conditional_css` (default true); `NoConditionalRules` in `stylesheet.rs` rejects `CssRule::Scope`. - Container: `QuoteSanitizer.sys.mjs` (Phase 2), called from `MsgComposeCommands.js`. - Tested with Thunderbird 155.0.1 on Windows 11.

How do I access the notification messages so I can post them here? Because there is like 12 or more a day on each machine from multiple accounts.

I got one that mentions restricting the number of concurrent threads using the IMAP interface but no clue as to how to restrict TB from making multiple requests from multiple accounts to the same server at the same time.

I created a POP3 account, and no SMTP config was crested in Thunderbird. So, I tried the Add option and after filling the form the line still did not get created. Current TB version, Win 11 Pro. I have several other accounts that configured OK, all Spectrum.

For the past several months the saved passwords, for my Comcast account, have had to be reset. When viewed the password vault still shows the old but correct password. It happens after a restart required for a Windows Update. I put in a dummy password, reboot, put the original password, reboot and I'm back and working as it was in the past.

Isn't password manager suppose to save the password until changed or deleted? It had in the past!

I am starting have problem with Yahoo mail interface with thunderbird, It is not updating yahoo mail. I stared to get message " Connection to server Pop.mail.yahoo.com timed out". What is the solution? I checked server port (995) number and Thunderbird is upto date.

Any help is appreciated

Please help me log on to Thunderbird in order to open a mailbox file sent to me containing email messages to and from the church I worked for until the June 28, that were in an account they closed before I could archive materials in it.

Hello forum,

I have 2 mail addresses at gmx.de. I can’t sign up for either of them for a few days. I get the note: password wrong. I use the same password for both email addresses. I can sign in to both addresses via the browser at GMX, but not in the Thunderbird that I have been using for years. I have always called the two e-mail addresses via Thunderbird. I can't explain a reason for this problem. I hope that's from any of you.

Greetings Dieter

hi, i am trying to remove an email account from Thunderbird app that i added but the "Delete" button in account settings isn't working at all! when i click it nothing happens. i select the account but when i click the delete button nothing happens

Hallo Forum,

ich habe 2 Mail Adressen bei gmx.de. Bei einer von beiden kann ich mich seit ein paar tagen nicht mehr anmelden. Ich bekomme den Hinweis: Passwort falsch. Ich verwende bei beiden Mail Adressen das gleiche Passwort. Ich kann mich über den Browser bei GMX bei beiden Adressen anmelden, aber nicht im Thunderbird, den ich seit Jahren benutze. Auch die beiden Mailadressen rufe ich schon immer über Thunderbird ab. Ich kann mir keinen Grund für dieses Problem erklären. Hoffentlich kann das jemend von Euch.

Grüße Dieter

In TB prior to v.155, folder message counts were not shown at all if the respective folders were empty. That is, instead of showing "0", TB did not show anything.

Now, after updating to TB v.155.0.1, I see dashes (horizontal lines) in the folder tree to the right of each empty folder.

Is it possible to revert back to the original behaviour and get rid of those unsightly dashes? They only add visual clutter (my opinion, obviously) while not providing any extra information.

Thanks.

I have used Thunderbird for years, for two different work accounts and a personal account. I am retiring from one workplace, a small arts charity which runs occasional arts events for which I work from home using my own set up. My successor uses Outlook so I want to save relevant emails for them to be able to access previous correspondence if they need to. If I save relevant emails as .eml files into a folder in Dropbox, should my successor be able to open them in Outlook? If not, is there another solution apart from printing relevant emails to PDF and saving them? I am not a hugely techie user and generally find Thunderbird very straightforward! Many thanks for any advice! CathGuth

I cannot connect Thunderbird to a primary outlook.com account. I can connect to an outlook.com alias account. I have confirmed this on two Windows 10 machines. I can connect to the primary outlook.com account from an iphone and an ipad. Is Thunderbird broken?

I use Windows 11 Pro on a desktop computer. I use Firefox (which is up to date) and Thunderbird as my email client (which is up to date). I use Zone Alarm Extreme Security as my Firewall and Anti Virus

Recently it has become a nightmare sending and receiving emails to my markhowes@btinternet.com email address. Sometimes the emails (which I know are on the bt server) don't arrive but I don't get an error message. Then later in the day I might receive loads of emails at once.

Sending emails is even more of a problem. They simply don't go. Sometimes I get a time out message, sometimes I get an incorrect password message.

Within Thunderbird there is an option to check connection to both the outgoing and incoming bt servers. Usually (but not always) connection shows as "successful".

This has been going on for a couple of months - maybe it's a coincidence but it seems to start up after a Windows automated update and then things settle down again (I think) until the next Windows monthly update.

I'm not all that computer literate so please don't suggest messing around with the Registry or other very technical solutions but if anyone can help me solve this maddening problem I would be really grateful.

I can send and receive emails on my Android phone and directly on the bt email site via my Firefox browser.

I have no idea what happened to my Thunderbird. I think it might have been an update, because all of my folders are not where they were, everything in the folders are sorted by groups like today, or older. I noticed a bunch of my emails are now in folders marked as a Userfolder#. The emails it contains are those that normally should be in a properly named folder, only those named folders are grayed out. Another issue is that when i try to open an email, it opens it as if I want to reply to it. If I just want to read the email, I have to right click on the email and select open to read it. I have 2 spam folders, no idea why, nothing saves to my draft folder I found out today, I just dont know what happened! I dont think I did anything but I dont know now, as Im beginning to doubt myself. It's been this way for a few days.
