How can one setup a sending email server with same address and username but different passwords?

When trying to setup 2 different accounts i find a thunderbird limitation using API email password which have same smtp server address and username and only differs in password.

Is there a workaround?

When choosing to edit a sent message as a 'new' message, placing the cursor at the beginning of the message and pressing <Enter> does not advance the text.

It used to.

Placing the cursor at any other location within the message WILL advance the text with <Enter>.

I CAN add text by typing, but the <Enter> key does nothing.

The intent of placing the cursor at the beginning of the message is to add a line to the previously sent email.

The chosen option of 'edit as new message' should work with <Enter> regardless of where the cursor is positioned.

Any chance of this being addressed?

Thanks.

I am using ThunderBird 153.0 ESR for Linux Mint mint-001 - 1.0

For whatever reason after the lastest Thunderbird update Windstream is refusing the connection to Thunderbird email client. I have gone through all of the delete .msf files for all of the inboxes tried adjusting server settings to no avail on anything.

I changed my password for Greenby/Plusnet today. Now Thunderbird is unable to connect to them. The password is correct as I can enter website directly. No problems before change. Grateful for help.

Should I reinstall?

Somehow I got 2 emails: gregory@gregorysantana.com and Gregory@GregorySantana.com The lower case shows a lock blue envelope and the upper case shows a lock red envelope. I don't understand the icon meaning of the lock icon and the color coding.

Further: I use command File, sub menu Get New Messages for All Accounts.

In the lower part of the overall panel, I see new messages downloading, but the new messages don't show up in either account.

How to correct, it is important.

I have thunderbird installed on my PC, and my main email account is a gmail account. I download from gmail using POP protocol (SSL/TLS connection security, OAuth2 authentication). I have been using these settings for a long time (15 years?).

This afternoon, thunderbird stopped downloading my messages. No error messages : just "no new messages to download".

I can see (by logging directly into my gmail account using my browser) that there are new messages on the server. They're not spam or junk, and they're not getting downloaded into my (local) spam folder. They're not getting downloaded at all.

I still have room on the google server (it's about 87% full), and room on the hard drive on my computer (about 3 GB).

I succeeded in the Thunderbird transfer method described in these forums when bunging it on an old Win10 laptop. When I come to try the same on a new Win11 PC however, setting up an existing email address simply fails. I get as far, in the Set Up Your Existing Email Address page as "Configuration found at email provider" but can proceed no further as I get the message "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password" The setup on my old PC is gone now, it finally gave up the ghost, I have email on the old Win10 laptop but that's far from ideal. Additional facts: it's an ntlworld email address; there's a possibility the password may be redundant (so many of these to be found when a PC is on its last legs) How do I get it onto this Win11 PC?

I have a large number of filters, and an important email was processed to move message into a folder. but the filter had no rule that would apply to the message. all the filter criteria were based on the sender, but that email did not have that sender. the filter log shows the filter being applied anyway. I suspect the filter database is corrupted. How can I fix that? i noticed my version is slightly out of date, and I will update it, but I dont expect that would fix a corrupted filter database .

Why is Thunderbird consatntly coming up with "Authentification failure while trying to connect to server outlook.office365.com"? It never used to and would download my hotmail emails perfectly until about a month ago. This is very frustrating, I have removed my hotmail account from thunderbird and re installed it, works for ocassionally the back to same old message authentification failure. What is going on with thunderbird?153.02

Hi! I am having an issue with displaying sent mails. As you can see in the screenshot (cropped for privacy), I have selected the option to "Place replies in the folder of the message being replied to", which to me means that eg. a reply I sent will both be shown in the "inbox" folder in the message thread, as well as in the "sent" folder. However, it only shows up in the "inbox" folder. Why does this not work?

Thanks!

I'm running the current version of Thunderbird on Windows 11 Pro. Several time in the last few weeks I have noticed periods where I don't seem to be getting mail. When I close Thunderbird and restart it I get batches of 10-20 email messages that had been delivered to my shaw mail account, but which Thunderbird hd stopped downloading. There were no obvious messages that it had failed.

Thunderbird stopped downloading gmail this morning. It worked fine yesterday. I've restarted it 3 times to no avail. It says "Connected to imap.googlemailcom..." and it's been saying that for 2 1/2 hours now. Please help.

And please respond in non-tech terms. I am an old lady and I don't understand any of the stuff in the "help" section of your website. Still running Win10 because I can't handle the learning curve to 11. Please and thank you.
