I can delete email one at a time, but I have some folders that have over 1,000 messages. With the election coming up, I have collected so much political email and I want it all gone. Unsubscribe seems to delete one and 5 more pop up! Thanks!

Hi there the message shown in the attached image appears every time I open Thunderbird! I have to cancel it.

I have checked all the server settings in Thunderbird which are set to Oauth2. The servers connect without any problem. The email account in Thunderbird always works both sending and receiving.

Is there any way I can stop the very annoying pop up occurring?

Thanks for your help! Deryck

After upgrade to thunderbird 153.5.1esr from 140.17.0esr on a debian 13 (trixie) system I can no longer digitally sign my message with my external OpenPGP key located on a smartcard: I get the error message "Unable to send the message, because there is a problem with your personal key. The configured key ID ‘...’ cannot be found on your keyring." If I try to import the public key via the OpenPGP Key Manager I will get the alert "Importing the keys failed. TypeError: RNPLib.prepare_ffi is not a function". Any idea how to fix this?

I activated the sidebar of my calendar to display the events. It works fine, but I'm missing the data of an serie of events.

Example: I made an events from Nov. 1 to Nov. 3, entire day. The sidebar shows me only the first and the last day, but it hides the others days - in this example Nov. 2. See attached screenshot.

The "full calendar view" shows this event correctly on all 3 days.

Bug or feature or wrong setting?

Currently my Thunderbird uses Virginmedia server. Virginmedia is getting out of the email business altogether and will delete all their email accounts in the near future. I would like to use Microsoft new Outlook as my replacement server. How do I make this change while keeping the same email address? (I suspect there will be thousands asking the same question)

All of a sudden I am getting the following message when I try to log into my email: Thunderbird connection to server mail.wtrt.net timed out. Why? How is this fixed?

I have several MBOX files with me and I want to import MBOX files into the Thunderbird email client. I've come across different methods, including manual techniques and third-party tools, but I'm unsure which approach is the most efficient, especially when dealing with multiple or large-sized MBOX files. Some methods also seem complicated for users who are not very technical.

Suggest me any reliable tool for this!

Hi,Please assist Every time I open Thunderbird it shows Software Updater(user account Control) But the Sofware is already up to date & this has been happening for over a week

I am using the correct password but it keeps saying " Login to server imap.comcast.net with username [redacted]@comcast.net failed.". I hope someone can help. Thanks.

I have been setting up a PC with Thunderbird for my mother. I want to move her off a "Messaging Company" email to an Outlook email address. Currently I have 3 email accounts on her PC: - Messaging Company - Outlook - Gmail (loaded for testing and because she has an Android phone) Messaging Company and Gmail seem to behave just fine, both for sending and receiving. Outlook seems to work fine for receiving email. For sending, it works when I clear the credentials and set them up again. This only seems to last for a while, and it's as if Thunderbird forgets the SEND credentials. I'm not sure if this is after a reboot or some other cause. I have walked through all of the relevant advice on OAuth2, STARTTLS, etc. I don't think it is a configuration issue at this level because I can send for a while. It seems to be something to do with retaining the credentials. Any help would be appreciated - if I can't get this going, then I may have to move here to the Gmail account but I have my own reasons for wanting to use Outlook.

Example why question is being asked:

Three separate GMX email accounts, each with its own unique password, and NOW Application-specific password for Thunderbird. Aliases are not used or desired. Three different separate accounts that should each have its own outgoing server.

Worked fine until updates to Thunderbird and changes to the GMX server, and Application-specific passwords became a requirement to send and receive email.

Seems like updates to nearly every program and/or app that may be released with the intent to resolve an issue or include a new feature breaks something else. M$ is horrible with updates and labels nearly everything as a critical update so it gets pushed through even when updates are turned off or supposedly permanently disabled by a registry hack; Windows 11 being the absolute worse ever. Why I only have one computer with M$ while all the others are Linux. Problems all the time with M$ while Linux simply continues to work.

Regardless, can setup each GMX account but the default email account name must be used as the user name on the other two GMX accounts on the outgoing server in order to send email. Then the recipient sees the name for the default account rather than the name assigned to the other two accounts, and the Application-specific password for Thunderbird must be changed to that of the default. Then attempting to pull down email for the other two pop accounts comes to a halt, and email messages can only be viewed by going to the online account.

Two separate accounts for yahoo, two for gmail, and one for Charter work fine, each has its own name and outgoing server. Should be the same way for GMX but is not because Thunderbird requires one of the three GMX accounts is set to Default.

Appears by having a Default email account, users are not only restricted by the default account, but email that is sent is done so with he incorrect name, The purpose for three different emails is for email segregation and better management; personal correspondence, business related, and Internet stuff.

Instead of having a 'Default' email account, makes more sense to use a valid email to register Thunderbird after downloading and installing, and then using that email for Support, Boards, assistance, etc. The default email requirement causes too many frustrating unneeded issues that should not occur, along with wasted time, stress and grief. Computers were suppose to make our lives easier and allow us more time for the real world. Biggest lie told since the Bell Labs created the transistor.

Problem downloading emails from Yahoo

For years there has been no problem, but about 2 weeks ago downloads stopped. Pane at bottom of Thunderbird says downloading message 1 of 292, but is is stuck at 1 and nothing downloads.

Today something different is happening, it downloads the first 80 messages then returns again and downloads same messages again, then repeats. I now have 17 duplicates of these same 80 emails just in the time to write this and it is still downloading the same 80 over and over again.

I have searched internet for solutions. I have done the following:

Updated to Oauth2 through Yahoo website. Thunderbird shows a saved login password oauth://login.yahoo.com, plus my correct email address, plus an OAuth2 password

Checked all server settings. All correct, e.g, pop.mail.yahoo.com Port 995 SSL/TLS security, and OAuth2 authentication method

From server settings page I tested connection to server which came back successfully

Same as above for outgoing server.

I have ample disk space on my computer and ample data capability on Yahoo account.

Confirmed not in offline mode. Confirmed cookies and javascript enabled.

BTW, I can access all my mail on Yahoo’s web page, but that is inconvenient. I really prefer access through Thunderbird.

I have deleted global-messages-db.sqlite and Thunderbird reestablished it. Did the same for popstate.dat, and inbox.msf

I even uninstalled Thunderbird and reinstalled it but no improvement in the problem.

I am out of options now. What to do? Thanks so much.

I have read the question posed by a member wanting to do a similar move to the one I want to make and the standardised method that Mozilla publishes. My worry is :- If I download the latest TB program onto my new Win 11 PC, will it be compatible enough to receive all the files and emails I've saved to an external HDD, from my Win 7 PC? As I got burnt by eMClient's transfer of my emails, two years ago and lost 5 years of emails/contacts, I am naturally anxious about this same procedure in TB. (I transferred to TB, because of this and am very pleased with the way it is working on my Win 7 PC) Any hints and tips from anyone would be very gratefully received. John

Hello,

Since I updated Thunderbird to the version 153.5.1esr (64 bits) on Debian, I can't access to my PGP keys anymore, so I can't encrypt/decrypt my mails with OpenPGP.

In the console, I found this error message when starting Thunderbird: Error: RNP/OpenPGP library failed to load

And in OpenPGP, when I try to import keys (in .asc format), I've got this error message TypeError: RNPLib.prepare_ffi is not a function

I'm lost and I couldn't find any relevant information about this error for this version.

What can I do ?

I cannot get Thunderbird to launch. It acts like it is stuck on perhaps one account and circles keep spinning as if it never can get a few of my tabbed emails open. It keeps saying it "isn't responding." Since this began happening a few days ago, I've stopped the Thunderbird task through Task Manager, I've shutdown and restarted my whole system multiple times, I've updated to the latest Windows platform and made sure my drivers were all up to date... I can't update my thunderbird (if required) because I can't get in in the first place. I have hundreds of emails in multiple accounts under my current Thunderbird. I can't afford to lose all that history. I don't know which version I'm using because, again, I can't get the desktop app to launch. What do I do?

When I launch Thunderbird via icon ( version 158), it always brings me to sign on page for Thundermail.. If Thundermail is by invitation only, how do I get back to the real TB page. I can access webmail, my account, and portal. I only see Version 156 in download folder and only have default-release and default in the profile. I have no clue then what is happening. Will bringing back an earlier version. "ABOUT" shows version 158 and nothing else.

Also, my android email & passwords have remained constant and I did not have to change anything.

I can't receive or send emails for the address [redacted] @orange.fr with thunderbird. I get the message: Login to server impa.orange.fr failed - retry - enter new password - cancel
