Maybe I have not found where to set it, otherwise it is a .change request.

When creating a new message and entering a name in the “To” field, all email addresses for the recipient are displayed for selection. - Order as in the address book - The one marked as “Default” is neither the first nor identifiable as such. The order in the address book cannot be changed either. Thank you --- [German] Als Standard markierte Adresse wird nicht als Erstes angezeigt. Neue Nachricht, Eingabe des Namens in „An“, es alle Email Adressen für den Empfänger zur Auswahl angezeigt. - Reihenfolge wie im Adressbuch - die mit Standard gekennzeichnet ist weder die Erste noch als solche identifizierbar. Reihenfolge im Adressbuch auch nicht veränderbar. Vielen Dank

Every time I start Thunderbird it takes several minutes and sometimes doesn't start up. Once it does open up, emails do update new ones but if I go to account settings and select anything it hangs up. If I click on it, grays out and gets a message Thunderbird not responding. I have to open task manager to stop the program. Why aren't the emails on my email server get deleted/ moved updated when using Thunderbird? It seems like the only thing that happens only gets changed on the device I made changes to only. (computer, or phone or laptop)

Orange obliged me to have a new password to have an access to my mails , sending and receiving . But it does not work , and now I can only use Orange .What can I do ?

I have installed Thunderbird to work with my spectrum email account. I had successfully installed it and was even able to recieve emails, but could not sent them. I uninstalled it, reinstalled it and now I can't receive emaill either. The settings for the servers and my username (fulll email address) all look correct per spectrum's website. Whenever I enter my password into Thunderbird I get:

"Login to server mobile.charter.net with username stynee@ca.rr.com failed."

Next steps?

My folders are in disarray and it is cutting into my productivity to file emails. I have tried but it in settings but it doesn't work. Many are in alpha order but there are 2 different two different sections of the same name, and some odd files end up in an alphabetized section.

For instance there are 2 different ZBV sections with other stray folders in the same area that should be in there own alpha folder area. It's a mess to find the right folder. I have to scroll up and own and look for the folder I need to file in. I would be happy to donate, and i have in the past, but I really need this to get fixed. Please, please, please...

Hello,

The new August 10 release tags every message in red when it's clicked on.

Now the messages I DID tag don't stand out because they're all red. I cannot find anything in Manage Tags to undo it tagging every message to no avail.

How do I stop every message from being tagged red on its own?

Thanks, Theresa

I have a ton of email accounts in Thunderbird on Mac. I recently added a new account, and it constantly pops up the Authentication Required - Mozilla Thunderbird window. Below that it says: https://OURURL is requesting your username and password. The username and password are both stored in the passwords, and I don't get the password needed message, and can email and receive in between the annoying pop up.

I have this same issue on a new computer we just set up with other email addresses too, so I think it has to do with some automatic setting when adding a new account that happened in the most recent release. I do not get the authentication message for any of my older accounts.

I tried all the things I could find online - deleted and re-added account, deleted the password files in the profile folder, reset the startup cache, etc. I searched the support base, and can't find anything

We host our own email through cPanel. All the server settings are correct, or we wouldn't be able to use the email address at all.
