Fórum da Comunidade de Thunderbird

Hello,

My internet provider is RCN. For the past couple of months, I’ve occasionally been getting the message, “Connection to server imap.rcn.com timed out.” As a result, I’m unable to receive emails via Thunderbird.

All my settings are correct. Usually, the problem resolves itself within 24 hours, but sometimes, like this time, it lasts longer.

Any suggestions? Best, Magda

I have "Allow remote content in messages" turned off. However I receive many messages for which I wish to allow it for that message. I do so and it works fine.

What I would like to be able to do is to have TB learn the message senders for whom I have allowed remote content so I don't have to click it every time. Is this a feature that is available that I am missing, or is it just not possible?

If not possible, please advise as I will submit for an enhancement.

I have been using Thunderbird for years. Suddenly, a couple of days ago, the sent and trash folders no longer show the emails in them. When I use Roundcube online, these files show up there as normal.

I have done considerable research online to solve this problem to no avail. Using AI, they suggest a number of things that I have tried, without solving the problem. Apparently, this is somewhat common. I finally got to deleting the send.msf and trash .msf. This did nothing to solve the problem.

This is very frustrating. What can I try next? I am using Win 11 and Version 152.

Somewhat frustrating ... just after installing and setting up CardBook for Thunderbird on all devices... it automatically deactivated and "disappeared". CardBook no longer is compatible with Thunderbird.

Hope there will be an update soon that allows to keep all the settings...

Thanks.

Thunderbird won’t open because it wants a Primary Password which I have never had to do. I went on another computer (the one that I am currently using) and generated a password for Mozilla. I tried that but it still would not open. I have restarted the computer 3 times. When it asks for the pass word, I have entered the new one for Mozilla with no success. I have tried the one for the main opening of the computer with no success. When I close the small window that asks for the Primary Password, the spinning beach ball of death shows up and eventually (maybe 10 minutes) it has to be forced to quit.

When trying to view my address book (which I did a few days ago) no address book appears. Instead, I am invited to - Address remote address book - Create a local address book - create a new LDAP Address book

Says 0 address books available. But it was there a few days ago.

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...

Thunderbird demands my password for outgoing SMT server when I go to send an email but when I enter it, system won't accept it even though it is the correct password. I have had this problem for some time and it comes and goes. Sometimes I have ebeen able to send without a problem, then it comes back I had a helpful reply from this forum (can't find who posted it - Mick?) tellling me to go into the error console (Ctrl + Shift + J) and delete eveything in that. I tried that. It worked at first, but now when I do it, it has no effect. And the problem now appears to have become permanent, although occasionally after I have been working for some hours, then suddenly I can send without any problem. Problem hasn't budged though for a couple of days now. This is a mysterious and erratic gremlin, which now seems to have taken root. Any suggestions please? Carol

When I send an email with my HTML file signature Thunderbird appends a text signature as well. The text signature is not visible in the draft email, and is not in the settings. The text signature is added for separate identity with no signature enabled. I want to stop this. Any ideas please?

I am unable to send Email. I am using THUNDERBIRD app..My Email address is ronniekeys@talktalk.net. I am receiving mail but cannot send.. I have a message that reactivation is required after being blocked. [ have paid my subscription but still blocked. Thunderbird version 155.0

Thunderbird not connecting to server. It says timds out and an error occurred connecting to mobile.charter.net. I can neither send or receive emails. This started 8/20/2026

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??

This past week I started having a problem accessing URL's embedded in my emails from the Thunderbird interface. When clicking on the URL reference, nothing happens. I have not changed anything in my settings recently. Running Windows 7. I know my email server is working since this works when using my AT&T mail handler. I did have an issue with a Trojan virus that was cleared up with Malware program (i hope). I checked all the parameters of my mail handler and saw nothing that might cause this problem.

Thunderbird keeps stating password or user name incorrect. This is on my new lenovo computer. I have cut and paste, entered manually and used last all of which work on my other three computers. My feeling is all the junk that Microsoft now puts in windows to try to force people to use only their products.
