Had to change my ISP password which I did. I then removed all passwords from Thunderbird. I then downloaded the newest version (listed below) After the download I clicked on get messages - no response - did not ask for a password. My ISP pop address is properly listed. I went further and clicked on write - a box opened up asking for a password. Of course I entered my new ISP password and it showed up under saved passwords (smtp etc). I can write and send messages but not receive. I would appreciate a fix to be able to download messages - I miss my Thunderbird. Thank you - I must admit I'm not very teck savvy

Hi all,


After thoroughly searching this database, I could not locate an answer to the issue I am facing, although there seem to have been several similar cases.

My former university has recently decided to delete alumni email accounts, so I am using Thunderbird for email transferring from university to GMail (added both accounts to Thunderbird and then began copying emails and folders). Transfer is slow, depending on the server capabilities etc., but I am going folder by folder and so far it has been fine. I began the transfers a week ago.

Last night I noticed my Thunderbird inbox for my school is not showing anymore. The profile folder is only showing one file (.msf) for Inbox, instead of what should be, in my understanding, two files.

Thunderbird is still communicating well with the university email server because I made a folder rearrangement on the university webmail service (outlook.com) and it showed on Thunderbird. In addition, all my Inbox emails appear fine on the university webmail service (outlook.com).

Any ideas? This is obviously important and urgent.


Thank you in advance.

I can get a couple hundred e-mails but none since 5-31-2026. I can see later e-mails in yahoo but I use thunderbird because yahoo is too cumbersome to use for just E-mails. I sometimes get a message that my account is being processed. I have had this problem before but can't remember how I got out of it. I am computer literate but I am also 91 years old. Think Biden! I need emails! I am frozen in the middle Roku install because I never got their code and they are now frozen.

I've been using Thunderbird on Windows 10 since last year sometime. Currently I'm on version 151.0.1.

I've 4 x mailboxes here and since yesterday, 3 of them show me an unusual message when checking for emails. I tried attaching a screenshot but although the screenshot uploaded, I couldn't find a way to insert it here. But the message says Unable to write the email to the mailbox and asks me to check if I've write privileges (which I have) and to cheek the available disk space.(currently 101GB free).

The message is happening 2 or 3 times each day and lasts for about half an hour, then everything works fine again. Has anyone else seen this??

I received a spam message this morning that had a "Disposition-Notification-To" (aka Read Receipt) line that had MY email address on it. I honestly don't know why a spammer would do this - but that's not the issue. I have Read Receipts disabled, but Thunderbird generated an email (to me) and sent it to my mail host. This seems like a bug. Even if the Read Receipt has my email address on it (making it mostly harmless), Thunderbird shouldn't have generated the message. Or am I missing something? Thanks.

Hello. Some email addresses are no longer being delivered and are not appearing in my spam folder.

This started about three weeks ago with just one address. Now, I know of at least two.

Emails from these addresses that I used to receive and delete have also disappeared from my spam folder.

Does anyone have a solution?

I have used Apple Mail, GMail and Outlook; i am hoping that Thunderbird will achieve (relative) zero inbox.

My objective is to create an inbox that observes established rules/filters and directs my emails into the appropriate folders. I was hoping that Thunderbird would achieve this objectives but I have so far been unsuccessful.

I would be happy to screenshare with an appropriate technician in order to resolve this issue as its becoming increasingly frustrating.

I'm not sure exactly when this problem started but it could have been when I had to move my primary email from Xfinity over to Yahoo. Also not sure if this started after a recent Thunderbird update. I can not send new emails nor can I forward old emails. Haven't tried reply but suspect it is the same. This is the message I get: Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again. All settings and passwords are correct as I can receive and send from all my different accounts using browser. I can send emails from my accounts, on my iphone, though not using Thunderbird on iphone. Account settings and passwords are the same on the phone.

Yesterday I had to change my Spectrum email - I have an old road runner email address and swapped over to spectrum.net server from the old server. In this process I had to update my password to access the server.

When I updated per the instructions from Spectrum I was able to do a normal download into my Thunderbird inbox. This triggered me having to input the new password. I did check the box to update the password and save it. After the one time download I cannot get Thunderbird to download emails. I can send emails with no problems but cannot download. No way can I get a download - it does not on initialization, at the set time nor with the manual request.

Spectrum is no help - their web mail works and it's my problem. I realize this is an old system, legacy and all that - anybody got a magic fix?

Any idea on how I messed this up?

Thanks.

I am running Thunderbird 140.11.1esr on Windows 11. I have many email accounts mainly with btinternet which I access with Thunderbird. Most of them work fine but when I tried add another email account with a very large inbox all of the folders download fine but the inbox itself doesn't show any messages but the number alongside the folder says 220479 (which I think is unread messages). I have tried this on 2 different laptops with the same result. I have tried to Repair the folder. The folder is selected for offline use and I have tried to press the Download now button.

Any ideas?

Thank you

I am setting up a new installation of KDE6 on PClinuxOS and have hit a problem with copying over my Thunderbird profile from my old KDE5 installation.

I keep the profiles for Firefox and Thunderbird on a separate data partition and access them from my home folder with symbolic links.

I then just copy the whole thing over to another computer's data file linked in the same way. This has always worked in the past and Firefox copied over OK, but there's a small problem with Thunderbird, everything is there but the inbox. I get the message:-

  " Unable to open the summary file for inbox on MUN. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long."

(MUN is the name of the mail server)

I've recopied several times but the problem persists. I'm not sure what file it's referring to, there is nothing by that name that I can find.

The outbox is OK I've just sent myself a message.

Hello,

 So i downloaded TB it worked just fine until now. I can't send email anymore but i can receive them. When i try to send one, it says that there's an error with the server, it cab't connect anymore to the SMTP server. I tried to change the SMTP mail, to delete my account and reconnect. But nothing helps. What can I do? It's the only way for me to connect to my iCloud mail for now.
