Thunderbird Community Forum

Kinda been a comedy of errors. Wanted to set up a mailing list in TB. Started in CardBook. Too uncooperative. Was advised to use "regular" TB. PAB did not have the entries I needed, so was advised to copy entries from Google Contracts address book. Didn't know I had to hold down CTRL key and I ended up MOVING them, which emptied all my Google Contact from the Google Contacts address book. Tried to sync to get them back. Didn't. That address book is linked to https://www.googleapis.com/carddav/v1/principals/dalemwebb****@gmail.com/lists/default/. Can't seem to get them back. What am I doing wrong/what do I need to do.

My thunderbird account stopped receiving emails yesterday and is giving the message:

"Thunderbird The certificate for pop3.exemail.com.au is not valid for that server. Someone could be trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue."

Mails are still going to the Webmail account and my husband has an exemail account with the same settings that is working correctly.

Exetel is in the process of selling its email service to a third party but this isn't final until September 8, will moving to the new provider fix this issue or is there something else I should be doing?

The last version of Thunderbird provides support for logjam patch, which my email service, Spectrum, does not and refuses to support. As I am forced to retain Spectrum, being an apartment service, how can I revert to a prior Thunderbird version that does not support logjam?

Had these accounts for years on Thunderbird.... New dell computer. downloaded Thunderbird...keeps asking me to enter new password deleted old passwords. cannot get it going..

Randomly one day my thunderbird says "Login to server pop.centurylink.net with username vxxxxxxx@gulftel.com failed." My user and password are correct as is my server settings. I contacted centurylink and they told me its on mozillas end and unfortunately mozilla doesnt have a customer service number. I've tried deleting and redownloading Thunderbird, deleting the account and readding it and it still wont let me access it.

In an IMAP account I can create subfolders in all folders except the inbox. Subfolders created in the inbox become folders at the same level as the inbox. TB 140.2.0esr Screenshot of server settings, advanced attached.

Hello, After recently I installed ThunderBird after installing a clean installation of Windows 10.

I have managed to successfully connect ThunderBird to my Email Server, and its associated CalDav and CardDav server.

However when I try to sync the ThunderBird Address Book with the server, it only uploads information (new address book entries, edits, deletions). Changes made on the server do not get reflected in ThunderBird.

This includes the situation where the address booked entry is originally made in ThunderBird, uploaded to the Server, and then edited on the server (e.g. added extra character to the name field).

I can sync emails and calenders between ThunderBird and the Server without problem.

I have tried deleting the abook.sqlite files in my ThunderBird Profile, but this has not had any impact.

For avoidance of doubt, I am using the "Syncronise" menu option in ThunderBird rather waiting for the default automated 'every 30 minutes' setting.

Question: Can anyone advise how to resolve this one-way synconisation. I would like ThunderBird Address Book to update/reflect changes made on the server

I have multiple gmail accounts set up on Thunderbird. They were all working fine until I traveled overseas and came back. Then, all of a sudden, 1 gmail account stopped working. The rest kept working fine. I checked the settings and they were correct. I removed the account and tried to set it up again (about 10 times), but kept getting the same error message: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." The automatic configuration passed and I even tried manually configuring to the recommended settings to no avail.

The only thing I can think of is that when traveling overseas and trying to get online, Thunderbird and/or Gmail asks for further security verification, and I just avoided using Thunderbird altogether while abroad. Upon my return, I started getting this error message. It is extremely inconvenient to have to use the Gmail interface for only 1 email (my main email!). Does anybody know anything I can do to repair this? I'm almost tempted to use another email client altogether to make my life more efficient as the new setup is not sustainable.

Hi - I have a batch of a few hundred emails that include names and emails from a form that people filled out. I didn't know how to create a form that collected this information directly into an email list at the time (now I do, thankfully), so now I need to download specific data - name, email - from the body all of those emails into a csv file.

I used Google Takeout to download the specific emails and then imported them into Thunderbird. I used ImportExportTools NG to export the data into a csv file, but the data I need was not included. Is there a way to export data from the body of an email into a csv file?

Hello, I use the Thunderbird to hanlde my 12 email accounts, and it has huge number of emails. My problem, nowadays the client cant download the new emails, many times. I use with Imap setting. If I restart, as "admin" the program, I can see the new emails, but I have to do it many times a day.

Do you have any suggestion, what to do ?

I cant decrase the numbers of the emails, and I like this program, I dont would like to change to other client....

Thanks Laszlo

I've been using Thunderbird email for a few years. I use many folders to organize my emails. Recently, when I attempted to move emails from my inbox to a folder, the emails returned to the inbox. It doesn't happen with all the folders, but it is happening more frequently.

What can I do to fix this?

Have 2 accounts in a TB install: gmail and outlook. Use outlook as my primary sending account. All mail received on outlook account is FORWARDED to gmail account. Have been asked several times this morning to either login to Microsoft account or enter a new password. Entered my "regular" Microsoft/Outlook password when asked and told TB to save it. Still getting authentication problems. Password I am using WILL log me into the Outlook website. Any clues?
