good day....ii hope someone can help. the other day i was accessing my yahoo account spam folder and by accident, i deleted the spam folder instead of emptying it. the spam folder is now sitting in the trash and i'm unable to remove it from there. when i log into my actual yahoo account, the spam folder is where it's supposed to be and not in the trash. i tried removing the yahoo account from thunderbird and reinstalling it in hopes that it would rectify the problem, but it hasn't. does anyone have a solution?? i would greatly appreciate any help you can offer. thank you for your time...mike s

I am unable to find the Archive folder. It is not listed when I right click on the account name. All of my folders are there but not the Archive. Any one know how to deal with this?

Sending an email slowed right down, so I saved it and tried to open it from the Drafts folder, a local folder. Drafts was agonizingly slow to open a draft. (I tried this several times to send a particular email.) I clicked the Repair Folder button for Drafts. Then I clicked the Repair Folder for my local Sent folder. Bad move. Suddenly Thunderbird started resending all the emails in my Sent folder. Starting in 2020.

I had to disable my internet connection, then change my Sent Folder back to a server folder and disable my SMTP settings for the moment. Ouch!

Thunderbird doesn't seem to work well with local folders any more.

Hello, when I start Thunderird, it appears for a few seconds and then a window pops up saying that a crash has been detected. I've already tried reinstalling the program, creating new profiles, entering Safe Mode, etc. Restoring an older profile from a backup doesn't help, and the error remains the same.

I tried transferring data from the old profile to the new one (a new, clean profile doesn't cause the error), but unfortunately, the data isn't visible in the program, along with the pgp keys and everything else. Manually editing prefs.js using chatgpt didn't help.

What else can I do?

I have an outlook work email account in Thunderbird. Now I need to add another for a charity role. The first/work one is fine, but I can only receive emails on the second/charity account. I've tried different setting for the outgoing server but I don't really know what I'm doing with that - can you help please? Thank you.

Hi, T/bird working fine upto Thurs night Feb 26th then yesterday morning I got pop up windows asking for login credentials. Nothing had changed. Tried logging in thru them put it errored: <<

               Something went wrong

We could not sign you in. Try again from a different device. >>

I can log into my Yahoo accounts using Firefox so passwords isn't the issue

I've read thru a number of threads on here and elsewhere but no solution so far. K9 is working on my Android phone and my wife's and her T/bird is working on her PC. Just checked versions, she is on 140.8 ESR and I'm on 148.0. Both running Win 11 Pro.

Tried changing from OAuth2 to Normal, pop window asking for password but that doesn't work

Seems to me to be an issue with Ver 148.0 as my wife's working

What am I missing?

There is currently no setting in the Thunderbird calendar for a recurring date on the "last workday" of each month. This is very necessary for certain recurring dates, such as payments issued online monthly on that date.

This function is included e.g. in the Nextcloud calendar app, but not in the Thunderbird mail calendar.

Is this something coming soon?

Thank you very much.

Ik krijg geen verbinding meer met mozilla thunderbird email. Google is mijn provider. Google vermeldt: server kan het verzoek niet verwerken omdat dit niet de juiste opmaak heeft. Ik heb wel mijn wachtwoord in Google verandert door Odido probleem. Ik vermoed dat dit het probleem kan zijn. Mijn vraag is of u dit op afstand kan bekijken

I have smtp.gmail.com set up as my outgoing server (port 465, username = my gmail address, Authentication = OAuth2, connection security = SSL/TLS, also tried STARTTLS with port 587). There doesn't appear to be any way to set the password in the "Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings", even when I click "Edit". Nor can I add a password to the "Edit/Privacy&Security/Saved Passwords" dialog box (which allows you to see existing passwords or remove them, but not add any).

When I try to send an email, the "Sending Message" dialog box pops up, and after a few seconds a second box pops labeled "Login to account 'smtp.gmai.com' failed". This box has three buttons: "Enter New Password", Cancel and Retry. Clicking on the "Enter New Password" button does not offer me the chance to enter a new password--instead, it immediately takes me back to the "Sending Message" box, which then immediately takes me back to the "Login...failed" box. There is never an opportunity to enter the password!

TBird 140.7.0esr, Thunderbird for Linux Mint. Mint version 22.3.

Sending works ok if I choose a different SMTP server.

I don't like the NEW Thunderbird, especially the Search function which is very frustrating and difficult to work if it works at all. the old one was much better where we could indicate filter elements and retrieve the emails we wanted! Is there some magic or secret methods to make this NEW one work?

During recent update 148.0 (64-bit) google calendars are not shown either in "Events and Tasks/Calendar" or in "Today's Pane".

Subscribed calendars are still there, but nothing is shown in the days/weeks/months entries apart from the first calendar in the subscription list! Nothing else. And nothing in today's pane.

Reinstalled Thunderbird and reinstalled "Provider for google calendar" but nothing changed.

Thanks, GG

Hi I keep getting the message "Unable to connect to your IMAP server". I have reduced the number of 'server connections to cache' from the default 5 down to 1. Thanks

Trying to connect to my AOL mail account on a laptop w/ win 10 & thunderbird returns the message not a valid certificate. AOL support said change the password to reset the account, which I did. Now all I get is " Host contacted, sending login info " & it the server connection times out. I can log into my AOL account with firefox. Any help will be greatly appreciated !!

Since the up date my yahoo and AOL account want me to enter the password. When i do it is not accepted. It is correct since i tried it on a friends computer. I tried to use forgot password and it says I should enable java script and turn off ad blockers. I cannot do this in Firefox nor do I think it will help.

In Thunderbird account setup, I correctly enter my email account, name and password. I know it works because I can open my email on the Spectrum login page. I get a confirmation green box then when I press done a yellow box says unable to login at server, probably wrong configuration, username or password.

New Computer and new installation of thunderbird just happened. But now I cannot create more than two subfolder. each trial ended up in subfolder disappearing in Nirwana. Is there a limitation now or didn´t I follow any new rule? Please help if possible. Thank you, Monika

Thunderbird 147.0 (64-bit) OS: Linux; Fedora 43 Settings:

• smtp.gmail.com
• port 465
• SSL/TLS
• OAuth2
• full email address

This situation started happening about a week ago. I created a new user and had no problem sending email from the same default account. I can also connect to smtp.gmail.com using telnet, port 465. Something is presumably corrupted. I have had this account for many, many years, so I have accumulated many filters and other data.
