I have/had two different problems with the same results. In the first case I get the login window. I enter the password hit return and that window goes away and some times you can scroll to different opened emails before it says "Not Responding". The only action that works is to exit the app. Usually after a few days or weeks it will start working and does so for a few days or weeks. Lately the login window does not appear when the app opens and it displays the "Not Responding" message. It shows that it is "Loading Message". I have tried all of the options from the troubleshooting window and reinstalled Thunderbird with no change in response> Where do I go from here?

Hi there, I have several email accounts I use Tbird to manage. One of those is a hotmail account. I have the settings setup correctly for IMAP synchronization. But, after the initial pull of messages, the connection to the server seems to fail? For example, I open tbird, it pulls in new messages, run filters, etc... If I come back and try to reply to a message, the outgoing server will timeout (if you test the outgoing server in settings, it connects. If you reply as soon as you open tbird, it will send a message from that outlook account). I believe this issue is more than just the outgoing server. For example, if I move an email to a different folder, it won't register the move until I reopen tbird? Similarly, sometimes if I try to open a message after tbird has been running for a while, the message will not open/fail to load.

These issues seem to be impacting only this outlook account. I'm really not sure where to go with troubleshooting and looking for guidance.

much thanks, Ryan

I have my Google Calendar added through the network/gmail account process. I can see the events from my Google cal in TBird. When I accept an invite that came into my email in TB, it gets added to the TB calendar but never syncs back to my Google cal. Looking at the Error Console, I keep getting "Server Replied with 500"' errors (full error code is below).

I already tried all the online steps - delete/add calendar, clear password, reset OAuth token, still get the same issue.

calendar: [calCachedCalendar] Unable to perform playback action add to the server, will try again next time (longnumbersequence,[Exception... "Server Replied with 500" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: resource:///modules/CalDavCalendar.sys.mjs :: onOperationComplete :: line 580" data: no]) CalCachedCalendar.sys.mjs:570:20

I understand Thunderbolt AI is available. Can I use it as an ordinary Thundermail user to ash questions just like I would ask a question of ChatGPT etc? If so, how do I install (Windows 11, Android) and get started?

Hello,

I'm moving to Graph from EWS and have followed the instructions at: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-ews-graph-migration

I get through to screen that offers Graph API as an option, alongside IMAP, POP3 etc, and click on Graph API which directs me to my browser to log in to my email service (via GoDaddy). I log in successfully which takes me to the Thunderbird 'You're All Set' screen saying the account has been securely connected to Thunderbird and therefore ok to close that screen.

Back on Thunderbird it then progresses but returns with "Authentication Error - unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password".

The username and password are correct, and there aren't any other options available when editing/manually configuring the connection...so at a dead end, alas.

Any pointers much appreciated!

Have got a replacement computer, and downloaded the latest TBird (having used it with AOL) for years). Following initial set up procedure, TB detects correct settings for AOL and the "enter password" page opens from AOL succcessfully for authorisation. AOL requires 2 factor authorisation, and I use a phone code for this.

However the speed at which the code arrives from AOL has always varied quite a bit, and today it is taking almost a minute so the TB set up screen is timing out long before the code arrives. Cant go on retrying as I will get locked out of the account. No point in going for manual set up as the auto settings are correct, so the same problem is going to occur. I have three AOL e-mail addresses to set up! Is there a workaround of some sort for this - its terribly frustrating and the set up screen "connect your e-mail settings" timeout period does seem quite short if you have to wait for a 2FA phone code or e-mail code - any delay in the arrival of which is completely ouside your control .

I have a proper profile stored in an backup and 1 *.msf wasn´t restored on the new computer, but it is needed as soon as possible. My tries to restore it wasn´t successfull, there are no needed things to restore. The needed msf is located in the new profile, and I can´t see the item. Therefore I need help for restoring this particular *.msf. Greets The Texman aka K.-P. Aldag

I am using thunderbird to manage my email account. I want to add an existing shared email account from office 365 server. To get in it, it is necessary to sign with a password. Every time that office is requesting this password, thunderbird immediately hide it and send a message : "All is OK, you are connected" which is wrong... How can i avoid that thunderbird send this message and let me sign ? Attached is the message ( in french)

As of Oct 12 2026 I also have this issue. About a week before the 12th I was getting messages that I needed to sign into my RCN account which I would do and it just kept asking me. A few times each night to start then right before it shut me out I had over 50 of these messages just flooding my screen. I never did get a screen shot of that message, but did for the 2 error messages I got later once it shut me out. I shut down my computer the night of the 11th then when I signed back in on the 12th I could not send or recieve any emails. SOmething similar had happened before, but when I shut down again it went away. This time it did not. I then tried to access my emails thru the webmail I can access, but that also had shut me out. I also tried my tablet, a borrowed smart phone, but I could not access anything for my emails. I troubleshooted with my email company and my internet company, but they found nothing. Then I shut off the wi-fi on the smart phone and bin go I could access the webmail. But I still cannot find anything on what to do to fix this. I use RCN for my email, Spectrum for my internet. It is a POP3. Running Thunderbird version 153.5 Oesr (32 bit) Meadow, which says it is up to date. I have norton 360 anti virus & do not use VPN. I disabled my Auto-protect and firewall on the Norton and that did not change anything. I have sent the error messages to RCN and also troubleshot with Microsoft and had some hints, but nothing has come of that yet. Here are the screen shots of the only 2 things I ould capture. The error message was when I was trying to access my email thru Thunderbird. And it came up every time I tried to send messages, not that does not show up anymore and nothing happens when I try and send anything. The second one was when I was trying to access the RCN webmail and it would not let me in on anything I used. Until I shout off the WI-Fi. Then the smart phone could access my webmail account.

I use Thunderbird with a info@... account hosted by TransIP.

When I send an email, especially when I reply to a previous email and even more when this was my own email, the sent email is not always saved in the Sent folder: neither in the webmail of TransIP nor in Thunderbird. It seems random when emails are and are not saved in the Sent folder.

The replies are sent through; the recipient receives them.

What can I do?

misconversion (mojibake) does not happen when a mail header is as below. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

misconversion (mojibake) happens when a mail header is as below. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

It seems encoding in my Thunderbird does not match 8bit. Several years ago Thunderbird had an option to modify text encoding but I cannot find such an option in the recent versions. It would be really appreciated if anyone help. Thank you.

I have just starting using Thundermail and one thing I am trying to understand better is Address Books in Desktop Thundermail in Windows 11. I now have the following under address books: All address books (assume that this is just everything in all the address books), Personal Adress Book (empty), Contacts ( not sure where it comes from, probably 1 or both of the 2 emails of mine I have connected), Contacts (not sure where this came from but looks suspiciously like it comes from my gmail email or emails? as it is a long list), Thundermail Address Book (empty), Collected Addresses (looks like it picks these up from emails I send or receive). I am interested in understanding what forms this initial list of address books, do they continue to reflect changes in the original source address books from outside or are they a once only transfer?), how I can manipulate them, probably to end up with: All address books, and other address books continuing various subsets for convenient access to a smaller list of contacts under these sub address book names. Can I easily copy or move addresses between address books? Documentation already answering many of these questions may already exist? Thanks for any help or advice you may be able to provide.

After starting Thunderbird I set up a list of subheadings in the local column left of the inbox. I filed all my important emails into appropriate sub-headings (events, invoices to do etc etc). Suddenly all of them (including the scam subheading ) have disappeared and all there is Local and delete. Please can you advise me where they have all gone and whether I can retrieve them because losing them all would be a bit of a disaster Thank you

I am early days learning to use Desktop Thundermail Calendars in Windows 11. I have several calendars showing up in my list of Calendars. Home, My name (seems to draw input from 2 emails I have connected), New Holiday, Thundermail Calendar, My wife's name (seems to draw input from 2 emails I have connected that she wants me to monitor as she rarely uses them). I would like to get a basic explanation of what each of these calendars are and how they may relate to each other. This may already exist somewhere? For example: what is the difference between Home and Thundermail Calendars? Why do my 2 other emails only form one combined calendar?

I'm running the current 157.0.1 release on Windows 11, and specifically am having my emails from the AP be sent to spam even though I have a specific filter set to tag them. I feel as if the filter itself is set up properly because when I manually run it the messages will be moved from the spam folder to the inbox and tagged accordingly.

The one thing sticking out to me is these emails are being forwarded through my relay account. I've tried changing the filter to work based on the relay address, but again it only works when I manually run it. I've also tried setting the filter to run both before "and" after spam classification, but neither option works. Ideally the filter would work without me having to go to my spam and run it, and even then I'm wondering why the spam filter hasn't learned by now that those email belong in my inbox.

I'd appreciate any help or solutions; I'm not an email power user or networking wiz though so please try to keep it as dumbed down for me as possible!

I no longer have a right click menu available for photos in an email. There is only the option to zoom in or back out. My screen does not match what directions Google has to offer to fix the bug.

For some strange reason, I have one message in my inbox that does not display in the window below it (just a blank window) and the message subject line can not be deleted at all. Message title has been there for a week now, shows up every time I start Thunderbird but it can not be displayed or deleted. I have received, read and deleted dozens of message since, it just remains as if haunting the app in defiance of any common sense at all. How do I delete it?

The image shows the message selected and the blank window below, once I select another message and then go back to this rouge message, the previous messages window remains, the blank window does not come back up, Indicated to me that there is nothing in this rouge window to be displayed, hence it is blank if the first message selected.

Hi, since beginning of October 2026 I cannot access my multiple AOL-accounts in Thunderbird under Windows 11. I am prompted to the AOL page, insert PW but at the end: "an error occurred". The PW is valid; I can log in to the aol-accounts on the AOL-homepage.

I already set all methods to OAuth2 and set usePrivatBrowser to true as mentioned in the forum; but it does not work. Any ideas?
