Hello This is a Thunderbird on Windows 11 question If I select a file, right click and then click on "Send to" >"Mail Recipient", Windows tell me

There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.

But Thunderbird is installed, up and running and is set as default for MAILTO (see image)

So what could be the problem?

Luckily, files can be loaded into messages using the "Attach" command in Thunderbird if that gives you a clue

Thanks in advance for any help

After I set up my IMAP account on a Windows laptop, it had two Spam folders. Properties showed that the path of one ended in "/Junk" and the other path in "/spam". Note that they are both labeled "Spam" under the Home (not local) Inbox.

I just want one Junk or Spam folder, not both. Or at least be able to label one Junk and the other Spam.

Having two spam folders under the Home account with the same name is confusing. How do I fix it.

Is there a way to revert back from a Thunderbird update? I have my inbox with current emails, but my folder organization on the left is disorganized and contents are missing and many folders are missing. It's destroyed YEARS of work!

I am currently unable to send emails. I am getting a error message saying: Connection refused - OB116. 159.196.15.181 is blacklisted in Abusix Mail Intelligence. I can receive emails but not send them.

My email used to put all my new emails at the top of the inbox. But recently it has started putting them in between the emails already in my inbox. How can I get my inbox to load my new emails at the top of the inbox?

Keep messages in all folders for this account on this computer: In Synchronization & Storage what are the pros and cons of selecting or not selecting this option for small or large email accounts?

I tried the automated setting up - several times but get the error message below, I tried changing the authentication but same result.

I tried the Help here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-hotmail - but it didn't help!

I have the settings it shows for Outlook - but it doesn't work! When I "Continue" I get Authentication error. Show less

"Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password.". It hasn't asked for a password.

I can login in to Outlook webmail and receive messages. Please help. I'm not overly technical but not totally ignorant either! Thanks, Isobel

I have Proton Mail, and Proton Bridge. It was working until Yesterday. Starting Yesterday, New emails would show up in the Web app, and the ProtonMail Desktop App, but would not make it to the Thunderbird Inbox. The first email that did this arrived at 1:30PM on 10/19. When a new email arrives, a new email windows notification will popup in the lower right hand corner. I checked Spam, and it is empty (I find this hard to believe). My phone also displays a new mail notification.

I know Thunderbird is receiving the emails. I can find the new emails by using "Quick Search", and searching for the email address of the sender of the new email. The results are completely without formatting, and do not indicate what folder they are in.

For example: I have a Gmail Account (GromitToo@Gmail.com), and I sent a test message to my ProtonMail address (MisterFuzzyGuy@Proton.me). That email contained the subject line "Ping 10/20" and it contained my auto signature. If enter "Gromittoo@gmail.com" into the quick search, and I hit the return button, it only finds a message I sent about 7 weeks ago.

If I then click on the magnifying glass icon, a new tab opens up with the results. It displays the first 10 results of 54 results searching for "gromittoo@gmail.com". At the top of the results is my "Ping 10/20" test email. I could not find the folder name where my "Ping 10/20" test email is located on this results tab.

I see that the text "Ping 10/20" is a hyperlink, so I click it. The tab shows up, and strangely, it show the email and one reply. No reply was received by the Gmail account.

I have done troubleshooting of the ProtonMail bridge. The fact that the email is found somewhere in my thunderbird installation, I don't think ProtonMail Bridge is the issue.

TB is hanging on startup as it cannot connect to an IMAP server (Ping times out) I am chasing this separately. If I click on the TB window it grays out and I have to shut TB. I know which account is causing the problem but how can I start TB WITHOUT it trying to access servers so I can delete the problem account?? Thanks in advance. Paul N

The support page explains how to mark multiple folders for a search but that doesen't seem to work anymore?

See “Create a Virtual Folder,” 5th, gray box labeled “Tip” It doesn’t seem possible to select more than one folder?

When I click "extensions" under Tools > Add-ons and Themes, I get the following message:

Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access thunderbird.net

I.e. going from https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/search/ to https://addons.thunderbird.net/En-uS/thunderbird/extensions/

This happens in Thunderbird, Firefox and Vivaldi, both from my job or my home network (using NordVPN). Funnily search still works, so I suspect the link itself might be broken. Cloudflare tells me to contact the site owner, but they have made themselves incommunicado and refer me to community support who obviously aren't able to fix the problem!

(It is also disconcerting that Cloudflare asks me to enable cookies in Thunderbird, which is a huge privacy issue. However I get the same error in browsers with cookies enabled, so that is not the real issue here.)

Hi - We are receiving this email when sending to live.co.uk and hotmail.co.uk email addresses from one of our emails but not our other domain emails

550 5.7.1 Unfortunately, messages from [91.238.162.49] weren't sent. Please contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list (S3140)

I can't see any difference in the account settings and wondered if anyone could help?

Trying to set up new Gmail account in Thunderbird. New account dialog opens, recognises Gmail address and imap details, but doesn't allow me to provide Gmail with password. Authentification failure results.

Hi I am at my wits end here - The date in my Thunderbird is behind by 1 hour. This is affecting sent messages and also received messages.

This just started today. For over a year, the time has been correct. I have not changed any settings in Thunderbird prior to this issue.

My Win11 computer shows the date and time correctly.

I had a Win11 update yesterday. Not sure if that has affected Thunderbird (My province - Manitoba Canada - also stopped using daylight time changes in the last couple of months.) We are now permanently CDT, and is UTC/GMT -5 - which is what it shows in my Win11 setting.

My timezone and time in Win11 settings shows correctly.

Just to see if it would make a difference - In Win11 settings->Time & Language - I changed the time zone automatic to off (even tho the time zone showed correctly) and set it manually to UTC-5:00 Manitoba, - I changed 'Set Time automatically' to off, set the time manually and synced the time.

No difference with Thunderbird.

Why is my time off in Thunderbird?, and what can I do or check to fix this?

WHY HAS A CERTIFICATE BEEN DENIED ON MY THUNDEREBIRD ACCOUNT..HEAPS OF EMAILS HAVE BEEN STUCK IN LIMBO...WHY?

jOHN BREHENY EMAIL ---[redacted from community support forum] @aussiebroadband.com.au please reply to my questions??

My e-mail is zamaaero@zamaaero.com. But since today I can not sent any mails. Message is: "Slanje poruke nije uspjelo. Greška prilikom slanja pošte. Poslužitelj je odgovorio: SMTP AUTH is required for message submission on port 465. Provjerite primatelja pošte "zgmazoretkinje@gmail.com" i pokušajte ponovno". And that is for each and every adress I try to send.
