Thunderbird Support Forum

Title. Thunderbird is a really cool client but it's pretty slow. I blame that on the thousands upon thousands of emails that my hotmail and gmail each hold. I don't necessarily want to delete these emails, but I have seldom a reason to have any email older than 2 months in my thunderbird client slowing and crashing the program whenever I want to combine inboxes.

To this end I went to "Synchronization & Storage" and told it to "Synchronize the most recent 2 months" but it didn't delete the huge cluster of older emails. The next option is to tell TB to delete these emails in the same menu but as I understand it that would also delete them in the server, which I don't want to do for posteriority.

What do I do?

This is the message I get when trying to send emails: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: pgbentley101@gmail.com recipient rejected. Please check the message recipient "pgbentley101@gmail.com" and try again."

I use Thubnderbird as My Email service. They made some changes and I updated and was able to recive My Email until March 11th and now it says that it can't get My password accepted. I can't get My emails so that method to answer is not going to work !! I can get text at [removed phone# from public support forum] Thank You Dave Line

I recently downloaded and installed Thunderbird but forgot my primary password. Have tried the solutions available at the Mozilla website with no luck. I have also deleted the program and my Mozilla account, and started over from scratch. Still no luck.

Why all of a sudden am I having this screen appear? When did Thunderbird become Google-dependent? I can't even send email thru my affected gmail account (not the one I'm using to send this).

Plus, I can't attach a .bmp screen shot to this message. Mozilla support doesn't support .bmp images?

Here's the copy/paste of the original complaint screen:

Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your Google Account undefined ca2fl2010@gmail.com This will allow Mozilla Thunderbird Email to:

Read, compose, send, and permanently delete all your email from Gmail Click for more information

See, edit, download, and permanently delete your contacts Click for more information

See, edit, share, and permanently delete all the calendars you can access using Google Calendar Click for more information By clicking Allow, you allow this app and Google to use your information in accordance with their respective privacy policies. You can change this and other Account Permissions at any time.

I have a large number of unread emails in my inbox. I think there is a button I can click to bring all of these up together but I can't find it. Can you help please?

Please let me know how to add my iCloud account. I bought a new computer (PC +Windows 11) and had to reinstall everything. I did not have an issue before; my iCloud account was on my Thunderbird platform. What is preventing it from recognizing my password? It finds all the specifications though! Being in Canada, I also have an account with Rogers and installing that one was easy. Thanks for your suggestions and, hopefully, solutions!

The Import from seamonkey does not work, it doesn't do anything, select it and the continue button does nothing when clicked.

Everything I have is in Seamonkey Mail (2.53.18.1) and I am trying to get them out. all I want is all my mail folders, don't care about the rest of the settings, all contacts are in my gmail , it's just all the mail folders

You cannot see from the screen shot but clicking the button does totally nothing, all the seamonkey folders are name & name.msf

Thanks in advance

not able to send or receive emails. it does not recognize my passwords, nor do I have a primary password that I know of, so I'm not able to get in and change the password

had a working thunderbird with 3 accounts linked to it... got the message Couldn't load xpcom and would not start, so i followed the instructions here https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1360766

reinstalled...i get a "twisted" version of my previous views... only one account recognised. tried importing the profiles but zero luck. it says error on both.

also, although previously saved addresses are gone. the entire ldif, out of 3000 contacts stored, now i got like 70..

got is a number of duplicate folders not there before. all the drafts folders are copies of the "main" account draft on top now what?

I have Thunderbird on my laptop and also on my desktop. I have had for years.

I have not experienced problems. I like Thunderbird.

However for 9 days now I can'r receive emails on my desktop even though, with the same settings I can on my laptop.

I have spoken at length with my broadband provider (Sky) and my business web hosting company (Ionos). Neither has been able to help. They both recommend contacting Thunderbird (ie Mozilla).

I am using the same email address and server password as I do on other devices including Sky Web mail on a browser, successfully. However it doesn't work with the Thunderbird desktop email client I have installed (which is also the most up to date).

Please help

Hello everyone,

Ok here is my issue and I will try to explain as simple as possible.

I am was using cPanel to host my emails. Then Godaddy convinced me to use MS 365 for the hosting. I never really liked it and wanted to switch bak to cPanel.

Once the change was made TB kept looking tryingto Authentic the IMAP server but it could not do that. After trying to solve the problem I tried setting up a new account which I was able to do but my local folders would not move over to the new account. So I went back to my original account and changed the server details and now all of my local folders are missing inside of Thunderbird. I can see them in my profile folder and I know they are current but can't get them to populate in TB.

Can anyone help, please! This is my work email and I need to get these folders back.

THank you, Rick
