Greetings,

I've lost the ability to receive e-mail, Suddenly Thunderbird just quits on me with no warning. Apparently I can still send mail but cannot receive. This is the second time this has happened to me in as many months. How do I fix it? How do I prevent it?

Thanx

Yesterday, Oct 6, at 3:20 pm, tbird was unable to download messages from my att server. The error message is "The certificate for inbound.att.net does not come from a trusted source". Nothing that I know of has changed when I look at the account settings.

Do I need to contact Att/Yahoo? If so, how can I describe what to tell them, as I have no knowledge of certificates and how they work (or don't work).

Windows 11, Dell laptop, Thunderbird Meadow 153.4.0, yahoo mail configured as pop3 (i like to keep messages on my laptop). I was having trouble with mail getting "stuck" on downloading the past week or two, sporadically. It would load maybe 13 of 90, or 4 of 64, or whatever, then I'd get a "Connection to server timed out" message. I went online to the yahoo mail site to look for some offensive email that was trying to load and delete it; deleted about 50 of the messages that would've been sent to Thunderbird, then tried again. Did this a few times. Today it started where it wouldn't even load 1 of 34, or 1 of 60, or 1 of 96 as the day went on, would just time out on trying to load the first one.

Tried changing to IMAP temporarily, didn't help. Switched back. Didn't help. (Restarting each time I'd change this). Finally resorted to deleting the account (and all of my folders and filters! argghhh!) and re-adding it. Let Thunderbird automatically configure it for pop3. I did change the setting to not have it delete the messages on the yahoo mail server once loaded into Thunderbird.

Seemed to help, and it immediately tried to download the 3800+ messages that I've saved on the yahoo mail server. Only got to 1900, then stopped and timed out.

When I ask it to download new messages, it's back to the same thing - tries loading 1 of now 2007 or something, and can't get past 1. Times out.

Notice the version number above; it was much older, and I've since updated it 4 times to bring it up to where it is now where no additional updates are available at the moment. So as much as I'd like to blame it on an update, I hadn't had any automatic updates for a long time, so it wasn't that, and getting the updates now hasn't helped either.

Any suggestions?

How can I get rid of that horrible bug of Thunderbird prompting me for my login credentials. Already tried the following: re-adding my Email account, reinstalling Thunderbird from scratch. Nothing has worked.

Le clic sur joindre ou Ctrl+Maj+A n'a aucun effet par contre joindre page Web ouvre une fenêtre, pour résoudre: J'ai redémarré le PC, idem J'ai fait une mise à jour de Thunderbird, idem. Je sèche...

I use a personal computer, and can access my email two ways: 1) By typing "att.net" into my browser and choosing email." 2) By booting up PC, typing PIN, then a 16-digit alpha password generated by ATT. Two days ago this function stopped working. Q: What can I do to again access my email via the ATT account? I called AT&T yesterday, and human advised me it was a Thunderbird problem.

And I don't know how to "...find my version in Thunderbird App menu as requested below.

Thanks!/rose

Hello, I hope you are doing well.

I have asked a number of questions since starting with Thunderbird for Windows 11 a few months ago.

Is there a user manual somewhere? If not, it appears many of us would need one.

Please let us know where to find it or, if there isn't one yet, please create it.

Thank you in advance!

Since the Thunderbird update of 30 Sept the ability to attached files to my emails has 'vanished'. I press the attach 'button' but there is no response. Never had this as a problem before. I am running Windows 11 home version. Help!

I recently set up Thunderbird for Windows as a troubleshooting step for my Yahoo Mail account which has been generating an incessant number of authentication pop-ups in Microsoft Outlook (Classic) for Windows. I had been using New Outlook for many months before switching to Classic Outlook a couple of weeks ago. With New Outlook, there had been no authentication issues nor pop-ups appearing. I have been using the OAuth authentication, not app passwords, in all cases.

Setup within Thunderbird was relatively easy and the OAuth authentication went through without issues. The account has synchronized and seems to be continuing to do so as I read, delete, and send messages.

However, when I went in to the Activity Manager, I'm seeing a number of errors, appearing every 10-15 minutes or so. They read as follows:

• Alert from account xxx@yahoo.com: AUTHENTICATE Server error - Please try again later

• The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account xxx@yahoo.com responded: UID FETCH completed.

• The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account xxx@yahoo.com responded: p.

Can anyone help me understand what they mean? It would help me stabilize Thunderbird and might give some clues as to what is happening in Outlook Classic for me. It would seem some have authentication issues with Yahoo on different platforms while the service works perfectly fine for others. I would like to move away from Yahoo as I find it finicky with a number of its features, but I'm a long-term user (25+ years) and don't see that being a practical solution at the moment.

Thanks!

Bonjour,

Je sollicite votre aide concernant la restauration de dossiers de messagerie dans Thunderbird.

Contexte : Le problème est survenu suite à un glisser-déposer par erreur d'un dossier (et ses sous-dossiers) depuis ma boîte nominative (IMAP) vers une boîte mail générique partagée. Le dossier a disparu de l'interface Thunderbird et du Webmail, mais la arborescence physique existe toujours sur mon disque.

Détails techniques :

Dans Paramètres des comptes > Dossiers locaux, le Répertoire local pointe sur : C:\Users\sojanati\messagerie\Mail

Dans ce répertoire, je retrouve la structure sous forme de dossiers .sbd (comme INBOX.sbd) ainsi que des fichiers d'index .msf.

Cependant, les sous-dossiers et leur contenu n'apparaissent pas dans l'interface Thunderbird sous Dossiers locaux.

Comment puis-je forcer Thunderbird à réindexer ces dossiers .sbd ou récupérer les messages associés ?

Merci d'avance pour votre aide !

Was kann ich tun? Habe Probleme mit mozilla. Bei derAuführung der Programme Thunderbird ( ständig ) und Firefox ( manchmal ) kommt es zu Abstürzen wie Programm keine Rückmeldung, einfrieren so das keine Eingaben mehr möglich sind und ich jedesmal das Programm schließen und neu starten muß.

My mail filesa re huge like 26GB. So I do the copy/paste type transfer for backup. I've done it for years. Today I get this (see attachment) at the end of the "paste" into a backup folder. I hit "skip" Is this an issue? Earlier I did accidentally hit the auto export (zip) b4 reverting to manual

So by skipping this is this going to break my backup so it isn't useable?

Thanks, Jeff K.

Not sure what is going on but all of the sudden my inbound server is not allowing emails in. Outbound works. AT&T says its a Thunderbird issue. My computer guy cannot figure it out. Help. I can only receive email on AT&T

Earlier today I was able to access my AT&T email using Thunderbird. I have several email addresses & they worked. But later on I could not download any AT&T email. Interesting that my gmail address still works with TB.

I tried a few things - An AT&T address can send to the gmail address & the gmail does receive it. The gmail can send to an AT&T address. The gmail indicates it was sent, but the AT&T address never receives it.

It seems to be an AT&T problem so I went to the AT&T site & deleted the Secure Mail Key an created a new one. Did this on just one address. It can still send to the gmail address, however it still cannot receive anything.

When trying to receive any AT&T email, at the bottom of the screen it displays my address & “Connected to inbound.att .net”. That would seem to indicate I'm connected but just cannot get my email.

And suggestions on how to get TB working with AT&T email? Thanks.
