In sending a new email, when I go to enter the "TO," various email choices pop-up - but not all are correct. How can I add and/or correct those popup choices?

BTW, I have a screenshot. How do I get it here?

Hello, I started using Thunderbird in order to be able to manage all my email accounts from one place and I stumbled to one problem. I have 6 different email accounts and all are created by me.

I know that I cannot add a Proton account as it requires a paid service from Proton that I don't need as I use it only as a backup account in order to be able to recover the other 5 ones.

My Yahoo account added successfully without any problems as my 2 Google ones.

My primary outlook was added successfully by using the simple add account setup. The problem started when I was trying to add my second outlook account. Everything I tried it always gives me an error that says "Authentication error. Unable to login at server. Probably wrong configuration , username or password." I know for a fact that the username and password are correct as when I start to add the account it displays a prompt on my phone to verify the connection. But at the last step it says the error I mentioned. I even tried to clear all cookies and passwords and tries again but without any success. I compared the configuration of the 1st outlook one to the 2nd and they were correct. Correct hostnames, security etc.

I also checked the account settings in of the emails on the providers page and the only difference is that in the 2nd I haven't enabled the 2FF authentication.

What am I doing wrong?

Appreciate the help! Alex

Been using outlook since 2000, I am tyrin to cut the umbilial cord to outlook as it is craper each year that passes.

Can i have more than 1 sig as i use maybe 10 different sigs for different reasons?

Once i get Thinder runnin i wil be happy to support on a monthly basis but i need to se if ti will suffice.

The email I thought I’d sent isn’t in my sent folder. I saw it being sent. I also tried restoring the sent items folder, but it didn’t work. What should I do? Is there any risk of it being misused?

I cant receive emails only send them. I receive an error message when starting Thunderbird "the current operation on inbox <my email address> did not succeed"

PRELUDE: I have several email accounts. All accounts display properly, except one. Yes, this is similar to my question about bottom of the far left [of emails] list of emails - but this is different.

On the far left of Thunderbird is a list of all my email accounts with "Inbox" etcetera. Each email account shows it's Inbox/Sent/Deleted/ except for 1 account. The problem email account only shows it's Title and Inbox northing else. Yes, I tested it and sent emails to it, and used the problem email account to send, create a draft, and they don't show..

The image explains it.

Thanks for reading this ~r

Thunderbird 140.7.1 i have a subfolder called "purchases" which I add to on a regular basis. Suddenly no messages appear after May 2014 I have logged in directly to the mail server, and all the missing messages are definitely on the server. I have checked the local filters, none are set. I have tried properties/repair. I have tried removing ~/.thunderbird/xxx/ImapMail/mail.myserver.com.au/INBOX.sbd/purchases.msf

Could it be a problem with dovecot indexing on the server? all the other subfolders seem to work fine. It's just this one.

Bonjour, Lorsque je me connecte, j'ai un message que me dit : User is authenticated but not connected et ceci sur toutes mes boites mails. De plus, suite à un changement d'ordinateur mes mots de passe sont visibles aves des chiffres et des lettres credential redacted (see https://github.com/thunderbird/aaq-scraper/issues/15 ) Je ne peux pas voir mes mots de passe enregistrés Je ne peux donc pas me connecter à mes boites mails car les mots de passe ne sont pas valides A savoir que je suis sur certaines boites mail sur @outlook.com (anciennement dbmail)

Pourriez-vous m'aider à débloquer le problème car je suis très embêtée Par avance merci et bonne soirée PS : Si je supprime l'application et que je l'installe de nouveau, vais-je perdre tout l'historique (dossiers, agendas, contacts, etc ...)

Assistance with Read Receipt and Delivery Status Notification

Good afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to read my email.

I have been trying to determine why I do not receive read receipts after selecting Return Receipt and Delivery Status Notification under the Options tab when sending emails. This has been an ongoing issue for more than 10 years.

I am currently using Thunderbird version 152.0 on one computer and 140.10.2 ESR (32-bit) on another. Despite trying numerous settings and troubleshooting steps over the years, I have never been able to receive a read receipt.

I would be truly grateful if you could guide me in the right direction or let me know if there is a setting I may have overlooked. If there are any troubleshooting steps or additional information you need from me, I would be happy to provide it.

Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I sincerely appreciate your help.

Kind regards,

Brenda

Hello,

I am experiencing a severe issue with the macOS system print dialog handling in Thunderbird, which started immediately after updating to version 152.

Environment

   * OS: macOS Tahoe 15.5.1 (26.5.1)
   * Hardware: Apple M4 (Silicon)
   * Thunderbird Version: 152 (Issue present) / 151 (Works perfectly)

Description of the problem: When I use the native macOS system print dialog within Thunderbird and select either "Open in Preview", Instead of opening the Preview app Thunderbird bypasses the command and immediately sends the document directly to the default physical printer. The same happens with "Save as PDF", the file-saving dialog is first presented, but after entering the filename the document is also sends to the default physical printer rather than being saved.

Steps to reproduce:

  * Open an email in Thunderbird v152.
  * Select Print...
  * in the Print Dialog window, select "Print using the system dialog" 
  * The system print dialog is opened
  * Click the PDF dropdown and select "Open in Preview" or "Save as PDF".

  Result: The document is instantly printed on the physical printer instead of performing the macOS system action.

Steps taken:

  * Tested with Thunderbird v151: The macOS system print dialog works perfectly as intended.
  * Upgraded to v152: The issue appears immediately and consistently.
  * All other applications (Safari, Chrome, Microsoft products, Apple Mail) work correctly 

This seems to be a serious regression in how Thunderbird v152 handles native macOS print system events and dialog actions on Apple Silicon / macOS Tahoe.

Any help or a fix for this would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards, Michel

New to Thunderbird.

I have added a Gmail account to Thunderbird. I select a message in Inbox, right click > Move To > Local Folder

It seems to work. It creates a copy in Local Folder.

However, a few seconds later, the message reappears in the Inbox. The message in Local Folder is still there, confirming that copy is made successfully.

Also, the message is still in Gmail account when viewed from Google's Gmail. It's clearly working like Copy rather than Move.

This is frustrating. Is it a bug?
