I am trying to add an Proton mail account to Thunderbird using the Proton Mail Bridge (PMB). In the PMB guide it is recommended to uncheck Account Hub in the Setting>General. The problem is that the Account Hub still pops up when trying to add a new mail account - it simply refuses to go away regardless of several restarts of both the computer and the mail client!

Updating to the most recent [159.0 (64-bit)] update zapped my email account (gmail) settings. No, I haven't tried troubleshoot yet or re-entering all my IMAP settings. :) (I will when I can shoehorn the time.) My installation (64-bit) on the appropriate Windows version has had no problems for years, & updates have worked consistently (through both ap & OS updates, until this specific update.

My question right now is, has anyone else run into problems with this issue? I know it's not that much to go on, but I'm in a hurry & need to see if anyone else has experienced it.

TIA for any/all info. :)

I have installed Thunderbird on my MacBook Air (Tahoe 26.4) and synced all my hotmail emails from an account which I wish to delete. Do I need to do anything before deleting the account i.e. will they stay in Thunderbird or is there a setting I need to change first?

Hello, I'm currently having a problem with Thunderbird version 15.9. I can no longer sign in to my Google-Account after I set new passwords and entered them in Thunderbird. Several attempts were unsuccessful. I then deleted all entries related to my Google account. Adding the existing account again failed. I received two error messages. Error message 1: “Waiting for authorization during sign-in". Error message 2: “The inbox server is already in use.” An other E-Mail Account runs perfect. I urgently need help.

Thunderbird does not display the icons like inbox, sent, etc at startup. I reinstalled the client and everything worked but when I restart it does show the icons or my mail. What setup am I missing?

I currently use a Yahoo.co.uk email address but would like to add an additional email address with a different @xxxx.com affix.

I have looked at the existing instructions but seem to have missed the appropriate section dealing with it?

I haven't been able to identify the Thunderbird version.

I currently get my email from Spectrum.net. They have made some changes that necessitates me making server changes in Thunderbird. I can't seem to find a way to do that. Everything seems to point me to a new account. If I set up a new account will I lose all of my eisting emails on my desktop?

my email was previously provided by internode, which stopped. I transferred to the messenger co keeping my email address [redacted]@internode.on.net. However when I activate thunderbird I get a drop down box saying

mail.internode.on.net with username [redacted] failed

I used the option of "cancel" and things worked ok

Each time I open Thunderbird I get the same drop down etc

It is anoying

Does this make sense?

Thanks PIL

I found a help topic on your site about adding my existing email account to the Local folder (unified) and the help topic says to go to message "advance tab" and choose "Inbox for a different account" . . I don't have that option.. Just show "Imap server directory" etc .. etc My other email accts show up in my 'Local Folders" - I just don't know where to find an option to add the one email acct to the 'Local Folders" like all my other accts. Thanks.

My father recently passed away, and both of us have been Thunderbird users for a very long time (Agent Forte before that). Can I move his Thunderbird profile so that it is incorporated into mine, with all his old emails? In my profile, I already have three different email accounts listed, with their own inbox and their own sent box. I would love his emails to be like that, so that I can download emails sent to his address from my profile, but they remain distinctly within that account? How do I do that? Thank you!

Thunderbird continuously asks me to log in to an email account that no longer exists whenever I try to compose an email. I can send emails just fine on my Chrome web browser using Gmail, but I really like do all my emailing using Thunderbird. Specifically the error message states, " Login to server smtp.gmail.com with username mikeromano.1185@gmail.com failed." Please advise how I can fix this. Thanks, Mike Romano

My current ISP is ntlworld.com. Shortly I will be moving to outlook.com. I want to keep using TB but am not sure how to change the TB settings to switch to Outlook.

What settings do I need to change to do this, please?

Thank you,

This has happened twice now when I open Thunderbird. My first email account on the left pane comes up with just the name of the account, no inbox, no folders, no nothing underneath it and it does not expand to show them. I'm not sure why this is happening, but the first time I actually had to completely delete and readd that account to fix the problem. I've searched various places for answers -- change folder views, change layouts, various other suggestions -- but nothing works to resolve the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this is really annoying.

My profile contains 30 years of work emails which I sort as received into organized folders, stored on my computer. This archive is used frequently to search re projects, correspondence.

My email provider is shutting down. I have already set up my own POP3 server, with new email address.

I'm using webmail until I'm confident I can make the transition w/o screwing up! [Had one storage melt-down which required weeks of work to recover folders from a backup. Once burned, twice shy.]

>> How do I set up/alter Thunderbird profile and/or folders so that emails coming in to NEW address go into the existing inbox/profile folder(s)?

I want to be able to search both NEW and archival emails w/o having to switch between folders/accounts/profiles.

Bonus Q: The old provider is shutting down 12/15/26. While my correspondents adjust to my new email address, being able to see/process emails sent to the old address w/o changing profiles, etc., would be great.

Thanks!!

I deleted a Google email mailbox that I no longer use. However, everytime I start up Thunderbird it still tries to authenticate and login to that mailbox. I removed the connection from my outbound mail servers but do not know where else to look. The connection is to a Google Mail box and it automatically pops up a browser window with a Gmail login prompt each time I start Thunderbird.

Also, all my other connections to my other (non-Google) mailboxes are stuck and will not send and receive messages.

Any advice would be helpful! Thank you!

So my other Emails that are setup for outlook.office365.com work but then I try to add a new one today and it don't work I try delete cookies remove saved logins for the given Email remove permission and start over it just does not work.

This might be a Microsoft issue?
