When trying to send an email, I received an error message saying that my incoming and outgoing email in settings must match. They do! Still cannot send an email. My ISP says the problem is on your end - something to do with the routing after thunderbird was updated. They said quite a few people are having the same issue. Please fix this!

Unable to start -> Side-by side configuration error message Unable to uninstall -> Another Message says there is an unfinished thunderbird update, must restart pc. after restart, no update starts. back to the same situation. Unable to Re-Install -> Downloaded Installer, but installation gives the same "unfinished update error"

I already copied the "Thunderbird" Folder from the "AppData/Roaming" Folder. Is this the correct Data Backup so I don't loose my emails?

Please help.

Hi All,

Fedora 38 thunderbird-115.3.1-1.fc38.x86_64

I just upgraded from 102 to 115. I lost my ability for display "unified folders" in both regular mode and safe-mode.

Clicking on view->folders->unified unchecks the second I click off it.

I manually set about:config unified to true: made no difference. But it stays at true and still shows off in view, folders.

I need my unified folders back!

Hello!

I added all my office emails to my home computer. At home they all work perfectly to receive but not to send. The server configurations are the same as at my office and they work perfectly there.

The name of the outgoing server is smtp.oedim.com and I have already used ports 25, 587, 465 and 2525 to test. The message I receive is the following:

"Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Unable to relay to egon@oedim.com. Please check the message recipient "egon@oedim.com" and try again."

I used the email I was sending from as the recipient, but this error happens for any existing valid email. I've tried many of them.

Can anyone help with this problem?

Thank you very much, Egon

First thanks for helping. I'm an old man with computer knowledge that ended with a computer science degree in 1984 which I haven't used since. So I have a general idea but it's forty years old... I'm using Thunderbird 115.7.0 (64-bit) on a 2021 Dell Alienware computer with the 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz processor and 64 GB of RAM using Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Version 22H2 OS Build 22621.3007... I also have McAfee LiveSafe Virus Protection software installed: Version 114.212 Release Name 16.0 R114 Affid 20327 Antivirus Build 1.1.2569.0 Content Creation Date 01/25/2024 Content Version 1665.0 Secure VPN Build 9 Version 1.14... Here's the problem... When I try to download my emails the computer goes into super duper slow motion. I also have a wired wifi connection that's the fastest Spectrum offers and almost nothing else shares it so it's usually very fast. I also get Thunderbird error messages (i should have screen shots sorry) about not being able to read something or other or write to some folders and perhaps needing permission. As an aside, I'm the only user of the computer so no permissions are ever needed. Also, this only happens when I first turn on the computer and there are a number of emails to download. Once I've downloaded the bulk email and I later check or it automatically checks, it will download the one or two messages slowly but without errors... Thanks again, I hope someone can help... Take care...

I have been using Thunderbird for years to access several @charter.net email addresses, lately administrated at Spectrum, which took over Charter. Everything was working normally until today. I can still receive emails, but when I send, I get an error message asking for a password: "password required for outgoing SMPT server" Manually entering a password in that error message box doesn't help. Spectrum support is not helpful beyond confirming that my email sends and receives normally as long as I access it on their website. Three clues: 1) Spectrum recently announced "new and improved" email. 2) One customer service person described my email addresses as "legacy". 3) My gmail address sends and receives just fine from Thunderbird as usual. Any insights appreciated! Thanks!

I have 4 email accounts setup. Only one is in use at a time. There is one personal and three tied to 3 volunteer organizations I work with. A few days ago I began getting a Send Message Error window ( I assume generated by Windows) when I attempted to send a message from any of the accounts and thereafter I received a Thunderbird Unable to connect to your IMAP server error message.

My ISP advises they are not restricting connection numbers and this is a Thunderbird issue. Nevertheless, following the Thunderbird Message instructions I reduced the number of cached connections under Advanced by half. This made no difference. There is no one with my ISP who will discuss Thunderbird or seems to know much about it and they want me to use their webmail, which sorely lacks the sophistication of Thunderbird.

Read all of the relevant messages I could locate on the Thunderbird site on the issue and tried most of the suggested solutions, to no avail.

During the solution efforts, all INBOX mail in my primary personal account disappeared, but the rest of the folders are OK and so are those in the other accounts. It is in the ISP IMAP webmail folder.

But when I try to email my ISP I get the Unable to Connect to your IMAP server message or the Thunderbird error message. No outgoing message.

I did look at the Proflies link which I see references the ISP IMAP account. It shows 0 messages and 1.1 GB which I assume is the size of the INBOX file so assume there are messages and the 1.1 GB are the messages, safe but untransferable to Thunderbird. When I clik on Repair Folder the link attemps to go to the ISP IMAP account but the Thunderbird connection error message reappears shutting the process down.

When I just recently upgraded (32 bit) to 115.7 from 115.2 a number, not all, of the folders under my personal account also disappeared (but didn't touch the other accounts). They remain on the ISP webmail site (Zimbra). Could not find a way under Thunderbird how to reimport the missing folders from the ISP webmail account to Thunderbird so have been moving messages I need to save to the folders via the webmail site then reentering Thunderbird.

If this is unclear it's because I am so confused now that I frankly don't know where I am, way way above my pay grade! It appears I've done enough damage so quitting and looking for help.

I switched my email host and am trying to change the account settings in Thunderbird. When I change the server name a popup appears and asks me to restart or cancel. It doesn't let me continue to change any of the other server settings. Selecting either option changes the server name back to the original.

So I delete the email account and its smtp server. When I restart they both reappear. When I add a new email account and smtp server, it disappears when I restart.

When I select Help/Troubleshooting Information the deleted accounts are gone from under Mail And News Accounts. When I restart Thunderbird, the deleted accounts and server returns.

I changed the settings for a different email account that is on a different host last summer with no problems. Thanks

I have to manage a number of joint email addresses which are outlook.com addresses, so I have them all installed on Thunderbird.

Up until recently, it worked fine, although every few months Outlook.com would not allow the sync because of some security issue (wanting an alternative email address, wanting an alternative phone number, wanting me to confirm that the last sync was me). I would sign in to the email account on a browser, fix the issue, and then it would work again.

As of a few days ago, Thunderbird is showing the "Login to account XXX failed" and "Login to server outlook.office365.com with username XXX failed" for maybe a dozen of the addresses every time I open Thunderbird. If I login to the email on a browser, and force Thunderbird to "Retry" several times, it will sync the account - but the next day, the same issue arises with the same account. When I check the account activity, it shows successful automatic syncs.

Is there another setting I need to check or change to make Thunderbird work with Outlook.com addresses?

I'm just getting started with Thunderbird on Windows 10. To test it, I set up my yahoo IMAP account xxxxx777@yahoo.com using a yahoo app password. It worked fine, so I deleted that account and set up my 'real' yahoo IMAP account, which is xxxxx@yahoo.com, using another app password from Yahoo. This is a different yahoo account, so I needed to get another app password. Again, that account worked fine.

However I then chose to delete that account on Thunderbird and return to using my xxxxx777@yahoo.com yahoo IMAP account, by getting a new app password and following the Thunderbird instructions for setting up an account. The trouble is that Thunderbird is now connecting to my xxxxx@yahoo IMAP server and receiving those emails and folders instead of my xxxxx777@yahoo.com emails and folders. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird and rebooted the computer. Thunderbird 'account settings' is correct.

The first tab in Thunderbird is "email- xxxxx777@yahoo.com", and the folders that follow are from my xxxxx@yahoo.com account. Each time I receive an email on my xxxxx@yahoo.com account, it shows up in Thunderbird under my xxxxx777@yahoo.com account.

I'm stumped.

Thanks, David

Supernova has been named correctly. So far it has "exploded" all over. Once again I can not click on an email link and have it open in Firefox. (1) Quick filter doesn't seem to work very well any more. It might give me what I am looking for, but when I close it quick filter, it starts putting back messages very slowly one at a time for minutes. (3) I am getting fairly constant messages that it can't write to disk because the disk is full or it doesn't have permissions (both of which are wrong). (4) I have a sub-folder that contains 2022 emails and it has started listing those emails as part of the current inbox and no longer shows them as part of the 2022 sub-folder. (5) And finally it has crashed several time.

This all started when I let the update for Supernova install and it just keeps getting worse. Any suggestions?
