Thunderbird Community Forum

I have been using my phone a lot and so I've been getting my email on it. In the meantime however the items have been saved on the server. My computer hard drive crashed and when I have installed Thunderbird I find I have 26 thousand emails!! I would like to delete big hunks of it but how to go about it? Thanks.

I am still running Windows 10, but as of yesterday every time I open Thunderbird it resets my settings and spends hours re-downloading every email that I have. It constantly tells me that the connection to the server has failed and that all my passwords are wrong. Nothing is wrong with the server and none of my passwords are incorrect. After about 2 hrs, it completely re-downloads every email (I have multiple accounts) and I can continue to work like nothing was ever wrong in the first place. However, if I close out the program, it starts all over again. It randomly picks an email account and requires that I start from scratch and reset them up. Other times they are there like nothing happened. I have restarted my computer multiple times, it continues to do this.

Lately I have noticed that when I delete an email it Is not going into my trash folder. I am using version 159.0 (64-bit). Any assistance would be greatly appreciated also I am using an IMAP server

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.

Spam folder says there are 5 messages. When I open it by Spam up on the right it says 7 messages but in the body it says no message found. Are there messages somewhere and how do I access because they aren't showing.

Thunderbird will display older email, but will not retrieve new email. It puts up a message "downloading message 1 of 140". That second number continues to grow. It was 76, then 138, now 140. I cannot retrieve new email. That email address is [redacted] @att.net.

I suggest you reply to me at [redacted] @gmail.com.

I am using the correct password but it keeps saying " Login to server imap.comcast.net with username [redacted]@comcast.net failed.". I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Gmail not going to desktop account since 10/26/26. Going to phone account 2153848303. Phone acct is gmail and desktop email is BetterBird (Linux Mint). Mail had been syncing but stopped for unknown reason.

I have multiple email accounts on Thunderbird (on MX Linux)... att.net, gmail.com and aol.com

While traveling without my computer, i had to reset my aol password on my iphone.

Now that I'm back at my desk, and being unable to find how to change the aol password on Thunderbird, I deleted the AOL imap account and have tried much of today to add a new AOL account.

In the past, I could create an 'app password' within AOL (browser) and use that password in Thunderbird... but that is no longer working.

Any guidance/suggestions?

I am running the latest Thunderbird version 140.17.0esr (64-bit) available in my MX Linux.

I'm not sure at which point this behaviour started, it was either after thunderbird suggested that I compacted my folders or perhaps after the update to the latest Thunderbird version. Sometimes when I start Thunderbird I only get the inbox (which is empty) . Sometimes I get nothing then the inbox gets downloaded from my IMAP account. Sometimes I see all my folders for a few tenths of a second and I see message on the bottom border (where it normally talks of connection to the mail server) but these messages talk of deleting all my folders one by one. On one occasion all my folders were laboriously downloaded one by one (as reported on the bottom line.) Often shutting down Thunderbird and opening again results in all the folders being instantly available (so they must have been there all the time). It sometimes takes a number of shutdown/restart cycles to get the email folders back. Any ideas what is going on and how I can stop it happening? Thank you for getting this far.

Cannot send or receive email all of sudden in Thunderbird. When I the click the messages icon, nothing happens, and I get "Could not connect to server mail.twc.com; the connection was refused". When trying to send a m,message I get "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.twc.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again." No settings were changed and everything was fine when I put the computer to sleep. This happens on both a Win 7 and 11 machine Email is a Time Warner (now Spectrum) Road Runner account (twc.com). Spent an hour with Spectrum, and they say this is a third party (Thunderbird) issue. A friend has the same setup, and is having the same problems that started at the same time. Win 11 version 150.02 Win 7 115.18.0 (latest available for win 7)

Appreciate any help....

Storage always full with only 100 or so e mails in my in box No junk or spam or anything else No one else in the company has this problem but me and my storage is getting smaller and smaller . I do more e mails then anyone but am always full with less than 200 e mails

In einem meiner Postfächer sind alle Unterordner verschwunden unter TB. Auf dem Handy kann ich alles sehen, in anderen Postfächern auf dem PC stimmt alles.

Ich habe alle verfügbaren Tips probiert seit ca. 4h.

Im Verzeichnis von heute scheinen alle Daten vorhanden zu sein, siehe Bild. Die Dateien und Ordner von gestern sind aber grösser, siehe 2. Bild. Im Postfach auf TB sind sie aber gar nicht zu sehen.

Was tun?

Gruss, Dirk

I've tried the recommended solution for this problem--changing the "security.tls.version,min" from 3 to 1 without luck.

I don't have a problem with Apple Mail on my iPhone.

When I try to access the web version from my Windows machine using Firefox I receive a message "serious security issue with webmail.dca.net. When I try it from a MAC, using Firefox I am able to access mail.

Thanks for any insight you can provide
