When I login into Thunderbird, I continue getting the following error message "Login to server imap.comcast.net with username kfn.appraiser@comcast.net failed". I put in correct password and happens again. Mail server is Comcast. Running Windows 11

Hi, I use thunderbird as both POP and IMAP through gmail. I keep all my emails on my POP thunderbird desktop client. I use IMAP on my thunderbird laptop client, iPhone, iPad via Apple mail when remote, then download the emails to my desktop.

What I want to do is read emails and set them to archive on my IMA laptop, iPhone, iPad. I know Gmail tags the archived emails. How do I stop thunderbird from downloading the archived emails to my POP thunderbird desktop client?

Thanks! Art

I have connected a Google Workspace (Gmail) account to Thunderbird, let's call it scott.harper@myorg.org. I am able to send, receive, and reply from this account as expected.

In my Google Workspace configuration, I have an alias address forwarded to my account, let's call it info@myorg.org. I receive messages addressed to "info" just fine. But when I send or reply to messages addressed to "info", I'm running into a problem.

In the Account Setting I opened Manage Identities, and added info@myorg.org as an alternate identity. I then edited the Private Data for that identity so that the "Reply from this identity when delivery headers match" option is checked, and set to match info@myorg.org. See attached image.

When I reply to an incoming message, the From field appears to be (sort of) correct... it shows from info@myorg.org, but next to it (in italics) is the primary account identity, scott.harper@myorg.org. See the other attached image. This is also the case when I compose a new message and select the info identity.

In both cases, when the message arrives at the destination inbox, it is from scott.harper@myorg.org instead of "info".

I'm assuming I don't have the matching rule, or some other setting configured correctly. Would appreciate any other tips/ideas.

In one email account the arriving messages arrive shown as "read". before they showed "unread" and were bold. I've tried but can't figure out how to reverse that. a different email account on the same reader shows new messages

Comcast/Xfinity email services have migrated to Yahoo. Using Thunderbird I cannot send out a reply. the error message is "Login to server smtp.mail.yahoo.com with username leifsvensen failed."

I am getting emails in, but for some reason it is not asking for a password when I open up Thunderbird. I would like it to ask for a password every time I open Thunderbird.

outgoing mailbox settings: Server name: smtp.mail.yahoo.com Port:465 security: SSL/TLS Authentication: normal password user: leifsvensen

I have also tried it with authentication turned off and get the same result.

Thanks Leif Svensen leifsvensen@comcast.net

Hi, my folders have disappeared, apart from my inbox - including sent, junk, deleted. How do I recover them please? I've tried the suggestions from Google, but nothing works.

Also, as a separate issue, I can't now send or receive emails from my iPhone, but can from my Mac? On my phone, I get a message saying that the server is not responding. I have tried entering my server details but it doesn't work. The message says 'bad certificate format - 9,808'. This happened overnight and I hadn't changed anything. How do I fix this please, in order to send and receive messages on my phone.

Перестали отправляться письма с почтового ящика gmail.com. Соединение с сервером исходящей почты не устанавливается. Разные порты и способы шифрования уже пробовал. помогите решить проблему. Спасибо.

Good afternoon.

The message was composed using a translator I have 3 mail for work. 1 personal, 2 shared There are no problems with my personal email. I can't send messages from two other emails, and I get an error

Error translation "Error sending message. Error sending mail. Mail server responded: Error: send AUTH command first. 1777978756-Gxds2c0SZiE0-r8k7j8Ju. Make sure the email address you specified in your account settings is correct and try again."

I cannot sent emails. My account is a gmail one, I am using these settings i na POP3 modality:

Server Name: smtp.gmail.com Port: 587 User Name: matos@sgmr.net Authentication method: Normal password Connection Security: STARTTLS

I have used the verification tool in settings, and it establishes the connection.

However, when I try to send, I get one of these responses: "Enter your password for matos@sgmr.net on smtp.gmail.com." I enter the password and it either asks for the password again or I will get: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com timed out. Try again."

Hi. I have four gmail accounts and use a desktop pc runnings windows 11. I have been using thunderbird as my desktop email client for many years, but recently, something has changed. My incoming emails are not formatted correctly and the links in them do not work. I'm not sure I am saying that correctly, so I will attach a screenshot. I would love some advice on how to fix this! Thanks, Cheryl

I have just set up Thunderbird on a new Windows 11 PC. So far as I can tell I have filled in the server details correctly. I can receive incoming mail. However, it fails to send emails out - I have tried a couple which I know are correct. Error message is: Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <<snip>>: Relay access denied.

Please check the message recipient "<snip>" and try again.

(I've removed the actual mail address from the error message.) I've read the answers to previous versions of this query and made the correction as suggested. This hasn't helped. Any suggestions please? Many thanks, Roger Moore

One of my email accounts will not connect. It was working but has not connected for two days. The message says log in failed for X@yahoo.com.

Just installed a new hard drive and windows 11. Installed Thunderbird, which I have used for years. Began receiving e-mail right away. Have tried to send several e-mails but I get an error message saying mail server responded: relay access denied Please check message recipient and try again. The e-mail for the recipient is correct and I have tried to send to others with the same result.

Do not know if it is a windows error, an smtp error or a Thunderbird error. My web host gave me the proper settings for incoming and out going mail. They are the same as I had for windows 10 which worked forever.

Can you help? Thanking you in advance.
