I use Thunderbird to get my COX and Gmail emails. When Cox moves to Yahoo what needs to be changed in Thunderbird to get my emails? Below is what came to me from Cox: The countdown has begun and your Cox email will transition to Yahoo Mail in about a month. Rest assured, knowing you'll keep using your same Cox.net email address, messages, folders, contacts and calendar!

After the move, Yahoo Mail will become your email provider and Cox will no longer manage or support your email services. Yahoo Mail will make sure you stay connected by protecting your inbox with 2-Step Verification, Account Recovery Email and Phone Number, 1,000 GB of free storage and more.

I recently had to re-install Windows. I saved my Thunderbird profile. I re-installed Thunderbird and when imported my profile, I could retrieve my messages but could not send messages. I attempted to change the settings and wound up creating two additional Pop3 accounts. Now I can't send or retrieve messages. My provider is Charter/Spectrum. I have tried all the settings they suggested. How do I get out of this fix? Thanks.

I have both Gmail and Aol accounts on my installation, 115.9.0. My aol account is behaving funny. If I choose to display only unread emails, the screen goes blank and no messages show. I then click on sent message, click back on incoming and the messages reappear in the "all" messages display. The Gmail account is just fine, I can click between "All" and "Unread only" with no issues. Can't figure out what's going on.

I recently changed ISP carriers (from Network Solutions to Intermedia). The transfer was slow but everything worked just fine. Then, a few weeks later, I received a notice from "ExQuilla" asking me to sign up & pay, which I did not do. Monday morning, my Thunderbird email was frozen. I was able to go to the ISP's online portal to access my email and still can but I prefer Thunderbird which I have been using for decades. Mozilla has always been free other than donations. Is ExQuilla a part of Mozilla? Tim J Email hidden for privacy reasons

Find our why Google chrome and thunderbird will not respond. This had never happened before. Don't bother emailing me, EMAIL DOES NOT WORK. (Thunderbird and Chrome will not respond. All I get is error message when I enter my password for Chrome.)

How do I do this? Cox Communications is divesting itself of Email. Thunderbird is my client for my Cox email. It appears Cox has a data package which I need to import to Thunderbird or Mozilla and i need advice on how to do this? I am at wits-end on this issue, I would like to keep chaz4@ cox.net and ocal9@cox.net or switch them to mozilla.org or at least for a while forward them to chask14@yahoo.com. But if non of these things are possible, I guess I will have to stop using either email address. If you are a Human and not a machine, please send your response to chask14@yahoo.com as chaz4@cox.net may not be working anymore.

I cannot receive certain emails sent by interactive brokers which is trying to verify my profile and information on file. They told me to contact my email provider.

My email is on a gmail server. I've been using POP for a long time. My inbox in gmail has 160,000 emails. They go back to 2005. In Thunderbird I have moved emails from inbox to to various local folders. Right now I only have from 1/1/2022 forward in the Thunderbird inbox.

Let me know of any way of migrating to IMAP

Thanks in advance to any replies

I have a folder set aside for a non-profit I volunteer for. I want to backup all those emails separately so that they are 'easy to access' - it's a regulation. How??

When I am deleting emails, I frequently end up with the same email as most recent in my inbox and thus automatically selected. This opens a new tab with the same email as content and soon my tab section is filled up with multiple versions of the same few emails and the inbox tab pushed off the screen.

Can there not be a setting to open up the existing tab if it has the same content. Or alternatively a way to pin the folder tab (normally inbox) on the left of the tabs permanently.

Other tabbed applications do not open up multiple tabs with the same content.

Yes I could shut the unwanted, repeated tab each time Thunderbird opens it, but I don't want to have to.

This seems like an easy feature? Please??

I received a very nice reply to my problem regarding saving passwords. The reply instructed me to reply with certain information. But the reply was marked no-reply@support.mozilla.org. This is very frustrating. Please send coherent instructions. And please read your reply yourself.

Another issue: I tried to make some text boldface, using the "B" menu selection. But instead of boldface, it simple added quote marks around that text. Looks like your website needs work. And the "i" does the same thing.
