Fórum de Apoio de Thunderbird

We have used Thunderbird for 12 years. We do NOT use another email with Thunderbird. (I have Gmail, but it is separate.) When messages have failed to save to Sent, I have always until today blamed our horrible ISP. Now that I see others have this issue, maybe it isn't Windstream after all! Once this issue continued for a whole month, but then resolved. Now, it is intermittent and is maddening. I try to remember to send myself a bcc, but I often forget.

This week the problem got worse when messages that "seemed" to be in sent are blank when called up. Again, I am not mixing up Thunderbird with any other email handler.

I strongly prefer Thunderbird due to the filing system which is far superior to Gmail. I do not want to abandon Thunderbird.

Thunderbird on my iMac has now just started crashing out when trying to start the program; Thunderbird starts and runs on my laptop with no change - but now for no apparent reason it starts to open but crashes and sends off report of the crash; Tried to start it in troubleshoot mode and it crashes also. I have loads of folders with info inside thunderbird this and I don't want to lose that; Can this be migrated in some way? Cant see a solution to the crashes in the community info or discussions - what should be my next steps? The emails are now still accessible via my website console - but now not via thunderbird. There was an issue at the server which is now fixed - but Thunderbird still will not start. Thanks.

I received an email stating my account was being moved to a new server, and it should be a seamless migration. Thunderbird is now struggling to connect after years of flawless service. I get a "could not connect to mail server, the connection was refused" error box most times. BUT, if I keep hitting the Get Mail button, it eventually connects. Most times. Using IMAP. I have tried everything from password change to complete Thunderbird uninstall/reinstall, safe mode, troubleshooting mode, disabling all security software.... I have contacted Mediacom, who will not help with service 3rd party software, to confirm my account settings are proper. It has been over two weeks.... what am I missing? Thanks Steve

I am using Thunderbird 52.9.1 on XPMode (virtual Windows XP) and since quite some time my OAuth2 Gmail accounts have stopped working from Thunderbird 52.9.1: I am requested to enter password and other stuff but then nothing happens in terms of receiving (IMAP) or sending (SMTP) emails.

Don't know if this is related, but I am aware of the Gmail changes occurred around end of May 2022: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-acc...]

Are there any ways (tips/tricks, advanced or not) to have OAuth2 Gmail accounts working again on Thunderbird 52.9.1?

Thank you

My boss is noticing his TB is opening emails as in new tabs on its own, without him doing so. On occasion, emails will open as new tabs when he clicks on the email once, but most times it is without him even clicking on them. We checked the connection with his wireless mouse and gave it a new set of batteries, but the problem persists. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Message filters tool freezes.

1) I click on Tools\Message Filters. 2) TB shows the Message Filters dialog. 3) I select an existing filter. 4) I click on Edit.. 5) Message Filters dialog freezes. 6) I have to End Task Thunderbird from Task Manager.

I just upgraded to the latest TB: 102.7.0. Windows 10 with all latest updates. 1316 filters (yeah, I have a lot of filters.)

The freezing of the Message Filters dialog happened in the recent previous versions of TB.

I love TB and have been using it for many years. But, I'm getting a ton of emails these days and I dearly need to setup new filters and edit existing filters. I may need to consider moving to another email software app if I can't get the Message Filters to work.

Thanks, Ed

Witam zainstalowalem przegladarke wasza, ustawilem konto IMAP i przy pobieraniu wiadomosci wyskakuje mi taki komunikat...? w czym jest problem, porty ustawione prawidlowo

I used to be able to drag and drop files files from my browser or file manager (tried both, nautilus and dolphin) into an open draft email window to attach the files. However this doesn't work any more. I have also tried to perform this action in save mode. When I drag a pdf from nautilus onto my browser it opens the pdf in the browser, from this I deduce that drag and drop to other applications seems to work. I am using Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS x86_64 and GNOME 42.3.1. Is this a known issue? Does someone have an idea?
