How do I configure my thunderbird client to send e mail using my gmail account. Gmail's "solutions" do not seem to work - see attached for what they claim. I have used both ports 465 and 587 and the appropriate connection security.

Goedendag, Ben zelf nieuw in Thunderbird. Ik heb diverse mailaccounts en ik zie een Verzamelmap staan met daarin ondermeer de Concepten en Verzonden mails. Deze zie ik liever per account weergegeven worden, kan dat?

Ik gebruik IMAP op al mijn accounts, na het instellen zie ik per account wel al mijn ontvangen mails staan, maar niet de verzonden mails? Ik denk dat dit inherent is aan mijn vraag, maar hoe kan ik dat dus oplossen?

Tot slot zie ik Mail-conversaties staan van berichten en hun antwoorden, maar dat wil ik helemaal niet. Ik wil gewoon alle berichten op datum & tijd gesorteerd zien staan. Hoe krijg ik er die conversaties uit?

Dank voor alle hulp alvast!

Groet, Pico

my new message page doesn't now have a box -top left -to restore edited/ corrected lines of script. When editing wholelines of script, even whole lines have diappeared. and couldn't be found, and not in draft. Advice would be very welcome. Thanks. Mike

Hello,

I am having an issue with Thunderbird automatically marking new emails as read.

When a new email arrives, it initially appears as unread in Thunderbird, but after a short time it automatically changes to read, even though I have not opened or clicked on the email.

I use Thunderbird on two computers – a desktop computer at the office and a laptop when working from home. The problem started after I installed and configured Thunderbird with the same email account on my laptop.

I have already disabled the “Automatically mark messages as read” option in Thunderbird. I have also repaired/reindexed the Inbox folder, but the problem remains.

The email account is configured using IMAP on the laptop.

An important detail: when I check the same emails in Gmail through a web browser, they are still marked as Unread. Only Thunderbird shows them as Read.

Could using the same email account in Thunderbird on two different computers be causing this issue? Could there be a synchronization or local Thunderbird setting that changes the read/unread status?

Could you please advise what I should check or change to fix this?

Thank you.

When adding email accounts to Mozilla Thunderbird, when I test our the settings, I get an error message "unable to connect your account to mail.canby.com. As a result since August 6 I have been unable to access my email accounts with error code as the server is not responding or cannot get emails. Have not been able to get assistance from our internet service provider DirectLink in Canby, OR. Have been in Live Chat with about 6 techs who basically have given up and said contact Thunderbird to solve the problem. Anyone have any advice? I can read emails on mail.canby.com. Thanks. agent1943@canby.com

Does anyone no why I would keep getting these types of messages. Also the only glitch I've experienced is occasionally in writing an email it fails to save to draft. Thanks.

I have been using Thunderbird for many many years. I am 70+ and the number and kind of hoops I have to jump through just to keep getting my email are getting beyond me. I recently moved my business hosting, and somehow a change was made in my original email code on Thunderbird so I was not able to do anything with it. I want it on Thunderbird BUT I live in a small rural town and can't find anyone who has been able to help me. The other email systems require a code sent to a cell phone, and although I have a simple emergency phone I do not have a smart phone so I can not receive the code. The other email systems I've tried require an email code be sent to a smart phone almost every day, and although we tried to do this with my daughter's smart phone she is frustrated with me because she has to come over and help me so often. Also, I have so-o-o-o many emails in my original account and I don't want to lose them. Can anyone help??? Does anyone there at Thunderbird work on anything like this? Is there a way to reach Thunderbird directly???

After returning from a 6 day vacation, my wife attempted to download email from her Yahoo email account. There are nearly 200 messages that have piled up but they aren't moving. I've uninstalled and re-installed TB. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app password in Yahoo. There is no problem with accessing the email via any web browser. I spent 49 minutes on a tech support call with Yahoo and they have said the problem is with TB because they repeated the same steps I have. I checked firewall settings and the only antivirus program on the computer is Malware Bytes and it's not running in the background. The version of TB is the most recent as of yesterday. I don't see any sketchy looking emails in the web version of Yahoo Mail when it's opened. It's set up as a POP3 account and has been since Cox Internet gave their email over to Yahoo. I'd appreciate any assistance in resolving this because it's currently above my pay grade and tech support at Yahoo.

I have four AOL-based eMail accounts I follow on TB; let's call them A, B, C and D. The folder contents on A & C are correct. However, for some odd reason, TB is placing the contents of A's eMail folders in B and in D! I have deleted the accounts twice, closed TB, re-started, and re-added B and D accounts, but the contents still are of A's eMails?!? Please help!

Thunderbird has stopped receiving or sending email. I just tried to send a message and received the following error message: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again." This has been a problem for several days. Potentially since the last update. Please help. Thank you.

I am trying to add a posteo email account to my thunderbird app on my phone and on my laptop. Each time when I get to inputting my user name and password I get an authentication error.

I'm moving from one PC (Windows 10) to another (Windows 11) and copied the Thunderbird folder over to the new PC yesterday. All seemed to be working fine on the new PC.

However, I've noticed that new emails sent to my gmail account FROM a gmail address are not being downloaded (I can see them in Gmail on the web). Emails sent from other addresses are downloading fine.

I have checked on the 'old' PC (which has identical configuration and is running the same version of Thunderbird) and they ARE downloading.

They aren't in the SPAM folder, I use POP3 and both PCs are configured to leave emails on the server, to it isn't that they are being deleted after downloading onto the old PC.

It's maddening, as about half my emails aren't available in Thunderbird, which makes it useless and I HATE native Gmail!

Thanks for any help anyone can provide
