Thunderbird Community Forum

I'm on a new Windows 11 desktop with two monitors. Everything's been working just fine up until around 26th April (two weeks ago) when the native Thunderbird new mail notifications started appearing in my second monitor, rather than my main display. I had made no changes at all myself.

I've been through all the fixes suggested via Google (toggling the displays; checking Windows notification settings), but none of those fixes have made any difference. I switched to using Windows system notifications for a while, but I really don't like them.

Might this be something in a Thunderbird update itself? It just doesn't seem to be detecting the primary monitor at all. All my other app notifications continue to show on the primary display.

Has anyone else encountered this or have any other solutions I could try?

Thanks, Averill

I'm having a connectivity issues. Did some searching which directed me to the Appdata Profiles folder. When looking inside I see Mail and ImapMail. Both have numerous folders inside. Too may I believe. Based upon the screen prints of the folder's contents, do you see conflicts?

I have three email addresses with Outlook.com.

Pop.windstream I have not used in many years. Not sure what others I could possible delete.

Thanks.

Hello. I am trying to add a new provider, which means adding a new account. When I click "Add new account" it takes me to a page that asks me to enter my existing account. Does this mean the currently running account or the new account?

Hello,

Everything working just fine last night. Wake up and Thunderbird will not retrieve emails.

Remembered this old message I got so I went through and deleted my second email address, didn't help.

Checked all settings compared to Yahoo, still won't download messages. I can even send a message with my current settings no problem, and it does login, just won't retrieve emails. Gives me a connection timeout.

Anyone have any ideas?

For a few days, MOST of my sent emails are not going to their destination but ending up in the TRASH folder. If I keep resending, it might finally go through. I've looked up solutions but still unsure what's going on.

Whenever i send a message , it is saved to the 'inbox' previously it would be saved "sent mail". I have verified that TB is configured to save to sent mail but the msg is saved anyway to inbox.

Can some one explain how to get back to saving sent messages to sent mail folder.

In all honesty I find it frustrating to keep moving msgs manually.

getting this message Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Verification failed for <george@check-6.com> Mailbox is full / Blocks limit exceeded / Inode limit exceeded Sender verify failed. Please check the message recipient "colin@allanandbertram.com" and try again.

I have a fairly old Thunderbird ESR Flatpak installed on my System76 Meerkat. Yesterday, it was working just fine. This morning, it refuses to launch, giving no error message from the desktop, and behaves as if something has been deleted.

Thunderbird Version 102.14.0 When in the Folders, Unread Folders only view and selecting a specific user folder in the Folders pane which contains a specific unread user email, then selecting a specific user email within the folder in the Emails pane, if the All Folders view is selected, then deselected, the specific folder location (which was highlighted) of the specific email being viewed in the Read pane is lost if there are no unread emails remaining. There are multiple ways in which losing the specific folder location of a specific email is lost.

Another more general condition. With no unread emails, view All Folders only. Select a specific Folder. Select a specific email within the Folder. Switch to Unread Folders and deselect All Folders. Select All Folders again. Although the specific email is still selected and in the Read pane, there is no indication as to it's specific folder location in the Folders pane.

How can the specific folder location of a specific user email be determined after it's status has changed to Read? For a specific email, the "Location" column in the Emails pane would be a logical choice, but it is blank and contains no information. This question is also not related to the Thunderbird app folder locations such as Profile. This question is a functional question about Thunderbird email attributes.

I've been using Thunderbird for years but suddenly as of yesterday it's stopped receiving messages. First it told me my password was incorrect. Ever since then when I try to click "Get Messages," it simply has no response at all. Nothing happens. I went into my Thunderbird password settings, and upon seeing that the incoming-message password had for some reason reverted to an old, obsolete password, I corrected it and saved the correct one. I've checked several times and the passwords are correctly saved now. But this did not fix the problem. When I click "Get Messages," nothing happens. My Thunderbird is connected to my Earthlink account, which is working fine. When I go into Earthlink, I am able to send and receive messages as normal. So the problem is not with Earthlink but with Thunderbird.

I have an account with a Spectrum tx.rr.com address. I use Thunderbird to view and send. The email account is set up as POP3 in Thunderbird. It has worked well until the last couple weeks when I started getting sporadic errors from Thunderbird saying "could not connect to server mail.twc.com; the connection was refused." then a few minutes later it works. Sometimes this happens on the Send and sometimes on the Receive.. I believe the account is set up correctly and I never have an issue through webmail. This can happen 5-10 times/day. It is annoying. Any suggestions on how to fix?

I'm trying to put thunderbird on my laptop, but after entering the password I keep getting an error message saying the password or settings must be wrong. But I've checked the incoming & outgoing settings, my password a few times now & I know everything is correct. So why do I keep getting this error message & is there a way to fix this? I'm running windows 10.

Thanks in advance. I'm trying to get Thunderbird setup with an outlook.com email address. All the default server settings look fine. I know the email address is good since I can login via a web browser. Cookies enabled and all the other recommended settings including app password. Yet it keeps saying Unable to log into the server. Has anyone successfully done this with the latest version of Thunderbird. I'm on Zorin 18 Pro.

HELLO! I'm having a problem with some messages. If I receive a message and the program places it in the "Offers" section, then when I try to move it to the "Inbox" section, it disappears. And I can't find it anywhere! This isn't just a problem with the latest version of Thunderbird, but has been for a long time. Today I received several messages from my bank that the program classified as "Offers," but when I tried to move them to the "Inbox" section, they disappeared!! Where are they? It's very frustrating because now these messages aren't even on the server!
