The new machine is not quick to send a post to junk or trash. I see a message about downloading it before I see it move. Going over settings comparing both, old machine was set to a Pop mail server. The remote helper changed that oh New one to IMAP Mail server. I'm assuming that is the problem but I can't find how to change the new setting from IMAP to POP. There is a red Delete button on the A/C settings page. Should I try that?

Also since I couldn’t use the profile from corrupted old machine I've manually input everything in the new. I have used the Draft files in the old machine as a sort of reminder for me and want to copy it and bring it Into the new machine. Is there a way to do that?

I hope this is concise enough.

Hi, I have tried multiple times to log into my thunderbird account. Every time it says sending login link . I never receive it. Making it impossible for me to access my account

This error message keeps popping up many times a day and is very annoying. I notice that others are getting the same error message but haven't found a fix for it. See image of the whole error message attached.

The weird thing is no matter which of the 3 options I choose it keeps coming back... sometimes within a few second. Also it doesn't prevent me from getting my email. Really odd.  ???

Anyone find a fix yet? Thanks.

Thunderbird just updated itself to a state where I need to do the setup process manually, which always takes a few hours (with networksolutions as the host). How can I continue to work with the previous version until the bug is fixed or I have time to go through the entire complicated process? Thanks in advance, Knut

I was using MS outlook and recently I could not connect. Apparently ATT made a change so that instead of a password you need a Secure email Key. Since I needed to make a change I thought I'd try Thunderbird mail, but I still need the KEY. After a number of efforts with the ATT AI and human support people I could not find where the Key is entered on ATT. Now I know this forum is about Thunderbird and not ATT, but there must be Thunderbird users that have ATT and have made a seccussful connection. There are a few ATT help pages that outline how to do this, but each time I look at my ATT profile I can not find where to enter the Secure Mail Key. Is there anyone that can help me with this?

Hi. I have recently compressed thunderbird which has wiped two servers. I have three pop accounts on thunderbird. I have a functioning email service on the machine that I compressed but another machine and my smartphone have no emails. I have checked on the servers to confirm they have not archived or trashed my emails but everything is gone. How can I reload the servers from my only good copy?

Suddenly, my "main" comcast account is no longer accessible via Thunderbird. I have three accounts set up: two comcast and one gmail. The gmail and one comcast account appear to be all right. When I try to access the comcast one I call main, I receive the window shown in the uploaded image. It seems as if TB has somehow forgotten the way it accesses "main" accounts. I have verified that the "main" account is fine on the comcast server by logging into it. The question is if I remove the TB "main" account and recreate it, will I lose any messages? Is this likely to correct the issue?

Hello,

I have Thunderbird version 140.3.1esr (64-bit) , everything looks good with multiple accounts , except there is a big issue on reading emails: 1- when I double click on any email I get the email as edit mode and not like when I press F8. when I press F8 the email looks normal, but when I double click not.

2-Some emails received as HTML format reads the body as HTML attachment. 3-Some emails show part of the email and not all text with HTML format.

Hope the developer know about this issue and someone can help me to solve this issue if work around.

Thank you

I have Thunderbird v140.3.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 10. I made a new calendar based on a google calendar. I have 2 google calendars so I am trying to import the second one from an .ics file exported from Google calendar, but each time I try it gives me an error message.

An error occurred when writing to the calendar MyMotog! Please see below for more information. Modification_failed If you're seeing this message after snoozing or dismissing a reminder and this is for a calendar you do not want to add or edit events for, you can mark this calendar as read-only to avoid such experience in future. To do so, get to the calendar properties by right-clicking on this calendar in the list in the calendar or task view.

It has installed itself as a second calendar in Thunderbird, but I've no idea why I can't import the one into the other?
