I have been using Mozilla Thunderbird since 2003 as my email desktop client.

As of Sunday morning, May 17th, I noticed the following:

  • All of my WideOpenWest email accounts (mine, my wife's my son's) downloaded email headers successfully, but did not allow me to see email contents, move email to other folders or delete obvious junk mail via the client interface.
  • All of my Archive email suddenly also will display the expected email headers, but content is unavailable through the client interface.
  • All my IMAP email access and management behavior works as expected.
  • If I copy an email from one IMAP account to the other, all is fine, but if I move that copied email to an Archive folder, its contents become unavailable (the email I copied was the "Mozilla Confirm your account ..." email)

Inspecting the filesystem containing the client data (NAS-based SMB share, using SSH to access NAS filesystem), I can see:

  • The Archive folder has both the Filed and Filed.msf files updated with a timestamp consistent with the copy.
  • The email contents are available in a format unfamiliar to me, but I can read the contents and show the same below:

<(B2=Mozilla <accounts@firefox.com>)(B3=<Ellided>@<Ellided>.com)(B4

   =Confirm your account)(B5
   =01010196ef885d03-c0d0edd7-b446-43b6-8bc5-8d5eee591202-000000@us-west-2.am\

azonses.com)(84=)(B8=620d)(B9=277)(BA=19204|Mozilla <accounts@firefox.com>)

 (BB=plugin)(BC=14)(BD
   =Open the internet with Mozilla Confirm your account and get the most out \

of Mozilla everywhere you sign in starting with: Firefox on Windows 10 Tuesday\ , May 20, 2025 5:10:13 PM (EDT\) Use this confirmation code: <Ellided> It expires\

in 5 minute)(BE=6176)(BF=nonjunk)(C0=ffffffff)>

  • The 'Filed' file contents also seem to be valid and viable. I can provide both if that's helpful.

I checked the underlying file system permissions and the email file attributes (owner, group, access) are all as they should be -- the above copy test results would suggest no problem there.

What are the next diagnostic steps?

Thanks in advance for the help,

AJ

What it says in the above question. I get logged out of all websites, which I have to sign into everything again, which is annoying, and many of the websites act like it's a completely new computer/browser, even if i ask them to save this browser. Had this problem for a few months now, not sure what setting changed to cause this.

Preliminary: 1. I need to use proxy to visit `gmail.com` 2. The proxy setting in Thunderbird was tried with "Use system," "Auto-detect," and "Manual." but none of these worked. 3. The proxy setting in Firefox works well. (by visiting `gmail.com` and then `mail.google.com` redirected)

Issue:

As shown in the images, neither Account Creation page nor the new Account Hub is working. They found configurations of Gmail in Mozilla ISPDB, but when I pressed 'continue', no popup window appeared, and an failure suddenly occurred (just in several milliseconds): "Authentication error. Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password."

Hello, I am new to this forum, from GDR.

Cannot delete a folder under my Local Folder. I have deleted it several times, and deleted the trash also, but no matter how many times I delete the folder, and restart Thunderbird, it still comes back. Sometimes there is two of the same folder that comes back.

If anyone one can point me to a solution, that would make me happy!!!

I tried to do a screen shot, but did not work. This is the folder, {Patient Portal - Wilmington Health.}

Thanks !!!!!
