Thunderbird Support Forum

The same happens in troubleshoot mode. I also tried reinstalling an older version but the same thing happens. Help me figure out what's wrong so I can read emails. :(

When trying to configure my gmx.com email with Thunderbird I get this message when trying to create a new account.

Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 ▲ (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIMsgAccountManager.createIncomingServer]

I have set the email up many times before just never with Thunderbird on a Linux setup so I am not too sure what would be causing this, trying to find help for this I come across the same issue with varying differences. At first I thought it maybe my firewall but I disabled it and tried again and still same error. Any help much appreciated.

When I create a task in Thunderbird I can use the formatting options, like a changing the font to bold or add a bullet or numbered list. After saving the task all this formatting somehow completely disappears. How to solve this?

I've been using T-Bird for about 15 years, or more. On May 8th it stopped working - unable to receive or send e-mail. I'm using T-Bird 115.10.2 (64-bit) and I've been running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit since 2012, and have no intention of upgrading to a new OS. If I do upgrade to a new OS, it will probably be the latest Mint Linux, as I installed an earlier version of Mint a few years ago to check it out as an alternative to Windows.

I have a 3.2GB AMD CPU and 16 GB RAM. Luckily I can access & use my AT&T Mail at currently.com, but I like T-Bird a lot better. T-Bird has essentially worked flawlessly for me all of these years - until now.

I have re-set my AT&T Mail password 2 times and also tried my AT&T Mail's "Secure Mail Key" from 2020, which is supposed to "never expire" - to no avail! T-Bird does not like any of these Passwords.

So it appears to me that T-Bird is now dead.

And so I am looking around for the best new e-mail client to use.

I am reluctant to try uninstalling T-Bird and re-installing it, out of fear that I'll lose all of my T-Bird data (folders, files, settings, etc.).

Also, I just found a recent article that claims that T-Bird will no longer work with Windows 7 after "late 2024." So I wonder, if the Thunderbird team has already euthanized T-Bird.

I shall greatly appreciate it if you can help bring my T-Bird back to life.

Thank you very much!

My email server changed recently from one IMAP server to another. Since the change, Thunderbird keeps marking some messages as Unread. Often these are old messages, reveived weeks or months ago and definitely have been read. The process appears to be random: I laboriously work through multiple folders, marking them as Folder Read. Only to find, next time I open Thunderbird, that there is a new set of messages and folders flagged as Unread. In Settings I have 'Automatically mark messages as read - Immediately on display' checked, which is the desired and normal behaviour. I'm stumped!

I have set up my google calendars in Thunderbird so I can have a shared work calendar.

The calendar has the "prefer client-side email scheduling" option enabled, and the correct email (my work email) is selected, yet invites are still being sent out from my gmail account.

I run message filters to file messages from Inbox in specific folders. However for some of my filters that copy or move a message to a folder in Local Folders the body of the message disappears, leaving only the message header. Other filters set up in the same way work fine. The filters are usually on the sender's e-mail address. Any ideas for a fix?

Been using Thunderbird/Lightning for many years. In the latest update (115.10.1 (64 bit)), the EDIT button is not initially visible when I click on an event in my Calendar. In past releases, this edit button has always been visible in the pop-up window when I try to edit info in a New Event task. This happens SOME of the time, but not all. Any idea what changed, and is it possible to check out the code and change it back so when I double-click on an event, I see the edit button. At this time (not a big deal, but slows me down), when I go to edit an event, I have to move to a different monitor, resize the pop-up window so I can see the EDIT button, then finally click on it to edit the Event. In the past, the cursor immediately went to the EDIT button. Any info on changing this back the old way would be appreciated.

Good day Mozilla vols! Has anyone else heard of, or developed an issue recently where TB will not delete multiple emails when selected? Previously, when I selected multiple emails for deletion and clicked "delete selected messages", TB would hang for a bit (while processing), but then all my selected messages would be deleted from both TB and my mail provider.

With timing conspicuously aligning to the 115.10.2 update, the multiple email delete functionality has broken. Now, when I highlight multiple emails to delete, instead of deleting them, TB marks them all as read, and only deletes a single email (the oldest email in the group I selected).

I saw one other question about this, but it was marked "archived" without an answer. Any thoughts/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Mail provider: gmail OS: Win 11 Security: Windows Security (old Windows Defender) TB client (now) 115.10.2 Troubleshooting mode (with controls reset and add-ons disabled) did not resolve the problem

Login to server imap.gmail.com with username spinneyhill15@gmail.com failed. I have tried for 2 days but am getting nowhere. Please help.

This is what the message says. It got hung up after the DONATE message posted. i donated, but it didn't free it up.

"Unable to open the folder Inbox on robert@perless.com because it is in use by some other operation. Please wait for that operation to finish and then select the folder again."

Apple says it is a TB problem, not an Apple problem. Somebody please help.

I am running this computer for my late husband who left us in September after he fell off a 25' ladder at the age of 85. It still has all the information from his art. He was a sculptor who made large kinetic pieces.

Please help. Ellen Perless ellen@perless.com

Hi. I have this strage problem X writes a mail to "support". "Support" is a distribution list. I receive that mail

I then reply to X. Sender is "support" as it is defined as an Identity under the main mailbox Also there is a rule in that identity to sens a cc copy to support itself (so collegues belonging to list "support" receive a copy)

I then need to send a second email to X, starting from the sent message (as it is a follow up)

So i go under "sent mail", i find the message i sent previously, having from "support" to: X cc "support"

(1) I click reply and i get a message with: - from "support" - to "support" - cc "support"

So "X" has disappeared

(2) Note I have no button "reply to all", but if i right click the masse and the "reply to all", i got a good message with: - from "support" - to "X" - cc "support"

Hope this is clear. Someone can help ? My need is click reply and get result as described at (2) Thank you

On opening Thunderbird every morning, ALL my folders are expanded and I have a lot of folders! I have A-Z and then many many subfolders within each folder. It's extremely frustrating as I have to collapse them all every single time. Is there a way of never having this happen again?

Today (for example) I saw a message 'Downloading message n of 182 messages' (n increasing with every message downloaded but the message disappearing well before 182). According to the activity manager and my own reckoning 72 were downloaded. An incorrect number of messages to be downloaded has been shown every day since 26 April 2024 although my previous download was on 20 April when the number that day (and on previous days going back many years) was correct. I have included messages in the Junk folder in my reckoning. The account is POP mail server and my Thunderbird version is 115.10.1 (64 bit). Not life threatening but can I fix this or can a recent change be corrected as I found the number being downloaded figure useful when it was correct.

using a Mac Laptop, Email account is Optus, can receive emails ok but cannot send, getting a failure massage.. Any suggestions please?

Hi,

I have a problem every time I close thunderbird, a few seconds later at least another two programs start up on their own. Its usually the Whatsapp desktop app or google games. Some times something from Nvidia will pop up.

Thunderbird takes a long time to open?? First it displays a blank page Then blank page marked: loaded Then it opens on the email account I saved the Profiles folder I carefully uninstalled, cleaned and rebooted, then reinstalled the latest version and replaced the Local folder in the new Thunderbird to find all my local folders Version 115.10.2 (64 bits) Win 10 Home 22H2
