Thunderbird Community Forum

I have two outlook mail accounts installed in Thunderbird, with the same parameters (except of course login name and password). Only the mail account installed first, works. The other only shows its inbox but no other folders or message. If I test its connection, the account seems to be properly connected.

Next to the two outlook accounts, I have three gmail accounts installed in my Thunderbird. They work without problems.

What could be the problem with the outlook accounts?

Either yesterday or today, I was prompted within Mozlla Thunderbird to enter my password before I could download e-mail sent to my main business e-mail address, [edited]@suddenlink.net. I did that, expecting to see my latest mail haul from that account downloaded to my inbox. I was therefore unpleasantly surprised to see that my e-mail login failed, with the message:

"Login to server imap.suddenlink.net with username [edited] failed."

Yet, I was able to log into my webmail account for [edited] online with that same login and password.

I then tried updating the password, thinking that the Optimum server was requiring that I do that as a security measure for the entire network. After restarting the system, I logged back into Thunderbird and tried to view my [edited]@suddenlink.net e-mail.

Even after doing all that, I failed to gain access to my latest e-mail deliveries to [edited]@suddenlink.net.

Can anyone help me to restore my access to my e-mail account [edited]@suddenlink.net in Mozilla Thunderbird? I can view or send the e-mail in my webmail account, or on my Smartphone. However, those methods are considerably less convenient than relying on mail delivery to or from Thunderbird.

This sort of setback has happened before. Whenever it happened it was difficult to solve. Attached is a screenshot of the Thunderbird response to my attempted server login.

I am using version 140.9.0esr-bb20 (64-bit) 

There are three categories of messages I want to filter: 1. Messages where the Subject contains a known word.

   Action: delete  before downloading from POP server

2. Messages from senders not in my address books.

   Action: Move to Junk-folder [and if possible: only download header AND delete them from the server once they have been cleared manually from the junk folder]

3. Everything else

   Action: download the full message to inbox

I'd like to know the settings for __Each message filter __ Check for new messages every 1 minutes __Automatically download new messages __Fetch headers only and anything else that is needed.

I thought I could achieve this out by turning off "Automatically download new messages" and turn on "Fetch headers only". Then, explicitly ask to FETCH FROM SERVER in the filter to get the full messages or "DELETE FROM POP server" as needed. "Check for new messages every 1 minutes" is always on, so I assumed that the filters will be applied every minute. Instead, what I am seeing is that nothing happens, as if "Check for new messages every 1 minutes" does not even work. However, when I do a manual "Get Messages", things seem to work (mostly). If I check "Automatically download new messages" the 1-minute action do occur except everything gets downloaded, regardless of the "DELETE FROM POP server" filters. So it seems I misunderstand these setting. 

Any hints on how to get the requirements done will be appreciated

I have tried to set up a table in Thunderbird but the column width is much too big.

How can I reduce the column width, please?

Thank you,

As of a few days ago, popup boxes have been appearing where Thunderbird is asking for passwords for my email addresses (I access emails from four different addresses with Thunderbird). Sometimes I will get the same popup box for a specific email address appearing several times over a few minutes. I reinstalled Thunderbird hoping that would help, but, while the popups are less frequent, they are still happening.

Also, while I have Thunderbird set up to check for new emails every 10 minutes and to download them automatically, it is only downloading emails when I shut down the program and restart it. "Get New Message For:" does not work. I know that new emails are not being automatically downloaded as I see that there are new ones at the website of my ISP.

Most of the solutions I have seen are not current, and reference settings I cannot find in my version. I have tried deleting and reentering the passwords by clicking on Saved Passwords in settings, but that did not help. Any suggestions?

On one of my emailladdresses the emails I recieve can be placed with other emailsfrom the same person and do not show as seperate emails. All I want is for emails to be stored by arrival date and time. As an individual email. Not lost in some ancient thread.

Dzień dobry, podczas tworzenia wiadomości i próbie zapisania jej na później, otrzymuję komunikat:

Ostrzeżenie Błąd podczas zapisywania szkicu - W Twojej bazie kluczy nie można odnaleźć identyfikatora klucza „0xD3ADE4868E262032”.

Nie potrafię tego naprawić. System iOS na Mac.

Proszę o wsparcie.

Kind regards Chris

Hi I wanted to add my @live.de (Outlook) email account in Thunderbird. I entered the email and got redirected to Microsoft oauth, which I granted. After some loading I was presented a screen, where I should enter my password and username (again). After doing so I see a "Exchange auth error". I guess this means I somehow got in the exchange funnel, which is not fitting for my private outlook account. I was left in this state with back bringing me to the first view (before oauth) and continue gives me the error.

I could solve this problem by disabling the new account setup hub and setting it up using the old one.

If this experimental feature is enabled by default, you need a "something is not working please take me to the old version" button in the footer. I did not find any ways to report this bug, so I hope here is the right place.

Hi,

I am trying to edit my message separator line (which I added many years ago). Now there is a big gap in the line and messages. How can I reduce this gap please? Any advice?

Recently switched ISPs to a fiber internet company. After the switch, now whenever I try access my comcast email tunderbird gives me a message that my IP is temporarily blacklisted. I get two messages. One is a windows notification that says the blacklisted message, and then a popup message from tunderbird that it cannot log in. I have contacted my ISP to ask them what's up with the blacklist, but what's weird is that I can seem to access these accounts fine through Outlook, which would seem to indicate that there is some issue with tunderbird. I'd really rather use tunderbird than outlook. Can somebody help me with this?

The few articles I could find on this all suggest changing the IPv6 setting but I checked that and it is already set to what they suggest.

I tried deleting the account and recreating it in tunderbird, but it won't go through it says it can't log into the account.

Some of them are Spanish (tilde, ¿, accents, etc.). Settings/about:preferences#general says my preferred language is English(US). How do I change the keyboard layout back to standard American English?

I changed my email password on the providers web site, my phone, tablet both asked for the new password but Thunderbird has not, why can I still send and receive email ?

And don't see a place to change the server password either, I thought it would just ask.

Hi,

New to Thunderbird, trying to move away from Outlook on Windows.

For hotmail account, I was able to quickly set up account, read and send emails.

However, the calendar does not show up. It has an enable button which I clicked. But it appears to be a new calendar and it's empty

Search shows to install TbSync and Provider for Exchange ActiveSync. However, it's not available in add-ons/extension (shows as not compatbile with 149).

What else can I do? Don't want to give up this quickly.

Thanks

Why does a calendar reminder open in edit mode when you select it. If you go to the calendar and open it you are presented with the information and the attachments. If you click on the reminder you must click on details and then you must select "Edit only this occurrence" or "Edit all occurrences" and then select "Attachments".

Why is there not an option to have the reminder open as it would if you selected it in the calendar?

Although 1900 or more messages are reported, Thunderbird only downloads a few - 18 once, 10 and now only 2 - before stopping. After deleting all messages, stopping and restarting Thunderbird, it then downloads the same few - or less - again, no new ones, and the are very old ones. Screenshot shows current situation - several identical messages only. Version 140.8.1 esr on Windows 11 - both up to date. I don't know what esr means !

As long as I've used TB, which is many years now, I've had no complaints. I have absolutely no desire to change to a different program.

That being said, I'm at wits' end with the recent issue of Notification Sound Alerts (NSA) upon delivery of a new message. Simply stated, beginning about 6 or 8 months ago, the NSA seem to simply work whenever they want to. I can go a month or two at a time and receive the NSA, and then suddenly one day, NSA will stop functioning on its own. This "pause," we'll call it, will last 4 or 5 months, then then suddenly begin to work again.

I have attempted every imaginable fix as recommended in this forum. There's no need to list them all, because I've made every suggested adjustment that's been recommended. But there's no rhyme or reason to why the NSA will work as programed for a period, and then decide on its own to stop working.

I don't know if this is a glitch in TB that is simply beyond my feeble attempts to rectify, or if any other TB users are experiencing the same issue. I have even gone so far as to attempt to find an Add-On that will supplement the NSA. However, none that I have uncovered, particularly those suggested in this Forum, seem to be compatible with either the version of TB or Windows 10. I understand that Win 10 is not longer supported in the forum, but please! I do not want to migrate years of email files to another program. I want to use TB but simply need to be "Alerted" when new messages hit the Inbox.

Any assistance or suggestions (except those basic adjustments that proliferate the forum, i.e insure the sound mixer is not muted, etc, etc) would be greatly appreciated and thanks for listening.
