Thunderbird — Fora społeczności

Hello, I have Thunderbird 115 on a Win10 HP laptop. Until today, I could both send and receive emails OK; today, I can only receive emails, for some unknown reason I have an error message with sending only, reading: "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.fastmail.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." The SMTP settings match what is on Fastmail's website for POP3. I haven't done anything I can think of since last using Thunderbird that would trigger this. I have updated successfully to Thunderbird 128 OK and that hasn't solved the problem. The email provider is Fastmail (I've been in touch with them, they have given advice, so far, no luck), SMTP settings are on the attached image. The ISP is NBN (National Broadband Network). Antivirus software is McAfee Premium - Individual. It is really frustrating.

I CAN'T DOWNLOAD YAHOO MAIL TO MY MOZILLA THUNDERBIRD ACCOUNT FORWARDING TO MY E-MAIL ADDRESS cucciolone@pobox.com PLEASE, HELP ME!

Hello, Basically I made a new Hotmail account to use for thunderbird and when I tried to add it, seems there is some sort of error. I think maybe its on Microsoft's side but not sure what I can do other then report it. I have outlined my steps in the images attached:

Step1 sign in Step2 put in password Step3 skip require recovery email Step4 Accept third party apps (Thunderbird) Step5 Account wont sign in or be added to thunderbird no matter what I do. I tried everything.

This thunderbird instances is up to date running on windows 11 machine and the hotmail account is brand new. I have two other emails on thunderbird but both are imap from my own domains. Thanks!

Just got a new pc with windows 11, I used the export from my older Thunderbird to create the file and it worked great, but I messed up when I installed Thunderbird on my new pc, I was so impressed (and curious) that Thunderbird could auto set up my email account, so I let it do it and it worked. I have 3 email accounts and when I used the import I thought it would overwrite the one it just created, but it didn't so I'm missing 3-4 folders I had on that one account It imported the other 2 accounts and folders great Is there a way I can get those folders from the old pc and copy over to the new?

I tried to uninstall Thunderbird from the new pc so I could do it right, only use the import function and get everything, but it doesn't uninstall much, everything is still there. Or is there another way? Thanks.

After almost three weeks of hacking I finally solved my [are not working] problem. (It was very difficult, including creating a new `https` setting and hand-editing the profile's `handlers.json` file.) So now I can finally open links in emails like I could in TB 102 before upgrading to 128. Since I have "Always ask" set, I get a dialog with a choice of which web browser to use. All good.

Problem is that the browser dialog pops up a minimum of once per hour whether TB is open (not minimized/iconified) or not. (I leave TB running at all times, often for months at a time.) This is annoying, particularly because the URLs are to internal TB infrastructure, usually but not always https://notifications.thunderbird.net/2.0/notifications.json.

What should I do with these JSON links? Many don't even have a filename in the URL, so I can't save them in my profile folder even if I wanted to. If TB wants them as updates shouldn't it know where/what to do with them, and do it? I suppose I could turn off "Always ask", which I don't want to do -- would TB handle the URLs correctly then? Or would it just open the link in the default browser and I'd be worse off than I am now? (I usually just "Cancel" the dialog and don't go to the URL.)

It would be even better if I could completely turn off all notifications, period. I always have "Check for new messages every ... minutes" turned off and manually check my POP/IMAP messages when I want to. I'll update TB when my Linux distro has a new version. In fact I've always noticed that TB runs continuously as a background process, adding a small percentage to a CPU core's usage. Is there any way to turn this off, too, so that TB is completely quiescent until un-mininized and "Get Messages" or "New Message", etc. is clicked?

Any help appreciated. I've used Thunderbird exclusively as my email client for over 20 years, and IMO these kinds of new features and the breakages they cause have made things continuously worse since the days when I used TB 68 and 78. BTW, I've tried all the above in 115 and 137 with the same problems.

Emails from a number of emails are going into my junk folder that should not go into it. Even when I mark each email as "Not Junk", it continues to grab emails that it shouldn't. This has been going on for a long time and list of Non-Junk emails going into the Junk folder is increasing. I cannot find how to fix this any where on your website.

I am not a techy of any sort, so don't want to change any thing I shouldn't.

Maybe the easiest thing to do us just shut down the junk grabber. I'd rather do the choosing my self.

Thanks

Hello, I had to download Thunderbird (and donate to you) last November in order to access my old Rogers.com email account, because Rogers quit supporting other email clients like Apple Mail two years ago. But Thunderbird doesn't allow saving in RTFD format, only .txt text and .eml email formats. Only Apple Mail allows saving on RTFD format. How can I save emails in both RTFD format and .EML format in Thunderbird in Mac OS? I'm running a 2012 Macbook Pro with Catalina 10.15 just for the Rogers email account, because if I switch to another Mac, I lose access to the AppleMail client for my Rogers.com account. I'm mainly using a 2023 Mac Mini M2 8-512 running Mac OS Sonoma 14.5.

Switch my email and login from dave.stuhl@rogers.com to dave.stuhl05@gmail.com, as I switched to GMail last November.

1. I'm running v 128.7.0esr, Windows 11, hardwired or wireless connection 2. I manage 8 email accounts in Tbird, ONE of the IMAP accounts started checking email on startup and I can't get it to stop. 3. I have all the Server Settings, specifically including "Check for new messages at startup" UNchecked

I checked the previous messages (and even Reddit...) but nothing I've tried works. The other accounts are unaffected.

Unless I'm not connected, it's a minor inconvenience but when I'm off line (like working on my laptop on a plane) it seems to "bog down" trying to connect and retrieve for that one account.

Suggestions about how to turn that off?

Hi,

I have configured a Matrix account in the [Chat] tab but am unable to delete it. Going to the accounts menu and pressing the red "Delete" button doesn't do anything. I am not aware of a way to delete it using configuration files (I am on Windows)

Thanks !

Hi,

I'm on a fresh Windows and the CPU usage is waaaaay too big. When TB is out of focus, it uses about 10% of my CPU. This can go up to 15% when the window is active. It's not doing anything, not downloading or compacting or anything.

Thanks !

Hi,

I use Thunderbird's Message Filters to sort my incoming mail. I have about 31 filters, some of which are long ("Delete Junk" and "Advertisements" are two, which OR many domains and send mail directly to trash or a specific "Adverts" folder). I also use several Linux computers and run Thunderbird on each computer for connecting to my GMail account (IMAP). I like to synchronize my filters between my Linux hosts. I've been pointed to the file for copying filters between hosts: HOME/.thunderbird/MyProfile/ImapMail/imap.googlemail.com/msgFilterRules.dat

Copying that file between hosts (or using it as a backup after SNAP damaged my profile again) only partially works. The filter name, action, etc copies alright, but when triggered, the filter fails as the "folder" does not exist. Of course, the folder still exists and has for a long time. The following is a log entry from such a failing for a "magazine" entry for "Aeon".

[4/25/25, 12:35:15 GMT-4] Applied filter "Aeon magazine" to message from Aeon Weekly <support@aeon.co> - This week: Why AI science will be incomprehensible at 4/25/25, 12:34:22 GMT-4 moved message id = 89c6e02ebaf75bbc918731474.c3e7d573b0.20250425163412.c7ad5cda2b.7a1e170f@mail220.suw16.rsgsv.net to imap://mdalphin%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Maillists/Aeon

[4/25/25, 12:35:20 GMT-4] Filter action failed: "Move failed" with error code=0x80550009 while attempting: Applied filter "Aeon magazine" to message from Aeon Weekly <support@aeon.co> - This week: Why AI science will be incomprehensible at 4/25/25, 12:34:22 GMT-4 moved message id = 89c6e02ebaf75bbc918731474.c3e7d573b0.20250425163412.c7ad5cda2b.7a1e170f@mail220.suw16.rsgsv.net to imap://mdalphin%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Maillists/Aeon

The entry in msgFilterRules.dat reads as follows after the failure: name="Aeon magazine" enabled="no" type="17" action="Move to folder" actionValue="imap://mdalphin%40gmail.com@imap.gmail.com/Maillists/Aeon" condition="AND (from,ends with,aeon.co)"

A "diff" from a saved version of the file that worked shows that it is identical except for "enabled".

This failure happens to 100% of my filters - the "actionValue" is not recognized as I move the file between hosts or different profiles. I need to re-select the desired folder in the drop-down list of "Move to:" in the "Edit Filter" dialog.

Any idea on what is going wrong? It is as if there is some cache of recognized Imap folders that have unique IDs on a per host basis. Is there anyway I could make this copying work better without need to restore each of the 31 folders every time I make a copy?

Thanks, Mark

My thunderbird has anemail account that stops receiving emails and syncing. I am at a loss to figure out why? If I remove the account and re-add it works for a while then does it again.

When I open Thunderbird Mail on my laptop the settings for updates is set to automatically update. I have to change it every time I start it up as it won't stay on check for updates but let me update! What is the problem?

Best regards, Vin

I would like to know if there will be the monthly releases available as .deb package. I use the mozillateam's PPA, but I just get the latest ESR version there, and I would like to get the latest monthly releases, like we get with Firefox. Maybe create an official apt repository, similar to the one we have for Firefox? Thanks.

I (by mistake) tried go attach a file that was too big to send in a Thunderbird (gmail) message. Even though I click "Cancel" to the warning "Warning! You are about to send a message of size 29.6 MB. Are you sure you want to do this?" the warning reappears each time I open Thunderbird (and I have to close and restart it to have it send any e-mails). The offending message is not in the drafts or trash folders. How do I tell Tbird to stop trying to send this message?
