Thunderbird Support Forum

Everything is successful up until when I click on "Done" and then TB hangs on "Checking password...".

Old topics on this have stated the issue is resolved by "uninstalling then reinstalling Thunderbird".

Not very practical for me - I have 37 email accounts.

I need another solution to the problem.

And I'm also curious - why I'm able to add (over time) 37 email accounts and now suddenly I can't add any more because of this issue?

Please, can someone provide an alternate solution - "uninstalling and reinstalling" when 37 accounts are involved doesn't make much sense.

Hello, I have not really a problem, but I want to know: how is it possible to get spam-emails without showing my email adress? In a normal list I can see the receiver adresses, in these spam emails with cryptical receiver that is not possible; I get even spam emails without any shown receiver Is this possible with BCC-Adresses?

With kind regards Hilhof

I have used Thunderbird for many, many years with my @cox.net email addresses with no problems. Recently Cox moved all their email to Yahoo servers.

I have followed all the instructions for accessing email on the Yahoo servers using Thunderbird and have triple checked all the settings, but I still cannot download the emails. I get 2 messages: "Sending of password for user colorcreations@cox.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later." and: "Login to server pop.mail.yahoo.com with username colorcreations@cox.net failed." asking to retry, enter new password, or cancel.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem. I cannot be the only Thunderbird user having this problem.

In the main toolbar there is an odd shaded icon visible (see right side of attached screenshot). This is thunderbird 115 from debian. What is this icon and how to get rid of it?

Thanks in advance.

Apparently, from the bits I've read, the "solution" is to scrap Thunderbird and start anew with the knowledge that I set up my accounts "wrong" because I relied on the automatic setup and was ... led astray???

Frankly I expected better.

The reason I tried to switch to Thunderbird was because Apple Mail was behaving erratically (forcing threaded view though it was turned off) and there was no way to contact anyone about problems. However, typical for Apple because they don't communicate with users, the problem seem to have mysteriously resolved.

Anyway I'm switching back to Apple. For now. Because I don't want to play guessing games with my email about how to do things properly. Frankly, I'd switch to Gmail which all of my friends say behaves well. But I also don't want to be tracked and Google is evil in this regard. So here I am.

I read that to import Outlook (I have 365) pst files I need 'downgrade' from Thunderbird 115 to Thunderbird v 38.1 .

But that was an older post, so I am hoping there are now ways to import pst files directly into Thurderbird 115 (I have a lot, each with lots of e-mails).

If not: 1) can I leave 115 on my computer and install v 38.1 in addition - import the outlook pst files into 38.1, store them as 'local files' on my hard drive and then connect those to 115 ? 2) Since I read something about installing v 38.1, importing the pst files (and presumably storing them as local files on the hard drive/external drive?) and then updating that to v 115, I suspect that 1) is not an option. 3) so next question is (haven't searched for that yet) : if I have to delete 115, I will have to re-connect all my local folders once I am upgraded again to 115. I have them all (a lot) stored on an external drive - is there guidance somewhere on how to get those 'recognized' all at the same time by Thunderbird 115 ? (Outlook is not very userfriendly in that regard, one needs to 'open' each pst file individually). 4) final question while I am at it: latest outlook version has limitation on the number of pst files one can have open at the same time - I found that out the hard way. Is there also a limitation on how many local folders one can have in thunderbird 115 ? THANKS A LOT in advance for your help (this is my second time asking for help and last time I got an e-mail with an absolutely perfect answer). Annette.

Hi, All. I store older emails in subfolders by year within Local Folders, and I've specified that Thunderbird store Local Folders on a toggleable remote drive. The idea is that I will just toggle that remote drive on when I need to access Local Folders messages.

Thankfully, when I start Thunderbird with the remote drive off, Local Folders appears without any references to inbox or sent folders (since it can't find the drive), and also thankfully it doesn't throw any "Can't find drive x" error messages. When Thunderbird is open, and I turn the drive on, however, it does not display the remote Local Folders content.

Other than completely closing and reopening Thunderbird, is there a way to have it more easily load the Local Folders content when the drive is turned on - either automatically or manually?

Thank you
