Thunderbird Community Forum

Logged into Thunderbird this morning. On current version. Noticed that the local trash folder had emails in it. I have not changed any of the multiple account setting. Send some test emails fro 2 accounts and they ended up in the local folder trash. What has happened. I want this redirection to stop. What other demons have been created by the current update. HOW CAN i fix this problem?

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <anonymous@[10.0.0.31]>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user a1.914306843. Please check the message recipient "christine.krieger@a1.net" and try again.

why do I get this on new download

I've been using Thunderbird version 155.0 with only a few issues (reported in other posts).

To investigate one of the issues I've had to create a new profile for testing. I've managed to set everything up except for my default font for outgoing emails. If I send an email with say, four lines of text, I can format each line to be a different font and the received email reflects the different fonts for each line.

But Thunderbird isn't remembering the last selected font. So if I send a second email (without re-selecting any font) the recipient receives it in some naff mono-spaced font. I guess there's somewhere where I can set up the default font for my outgoing emails but I haven't managed to find it yet. Can anyone help?

all of a sudden I'm not getting any new emails and some of my emails that I got won't come up or unbold. I didn't do anything to the program. I haven't fooled with it. I saw there was an upgrade recently from 154 to 155. when did this happen?

I have 5 email accounts on my desktop and the emails are doing funny things. Now they finally loaded but they aren't coming up or unbolding in one of the addresses. In another address I was able to pull up the emails and they unbolded but then all of the new ones bolded again and I couldn't pull the last two up

do you have to contend with Windows upgrades? Do windows upgrades affect Thunderbird? I don't 'fool' with my computer as I'm not very computer literate.

I have Win11, Thunderbird Windows MSIX packagethunderbird-MSIX - 1.0, and several accounts (The box below won't take anything past "Thunderbird Window.")

I'm looking for some way to make a different ring either for one of the accounts or for certain domains or for a subfolder -- any way that I'll know when something comes in from specific domains. The special ring(s) can be for each of the two domains or both of them. Can that be done?

Trying to solve aperformance problem I tried to move my profile from C:\Users\Peter and Carol\Profiles\sjig3laj.default to "C:\Users\Profile\." -- when that did not work, I was unable tomove back to the original location, TB telling me "Local directory path ... is not suitable for message storage". How do I get back to the config that worked before ? (was just slow)

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

Thunderbird 143.0.1

My TBird updated this morning and everything turned to crap...

I have TBird set to check for emails every 15 minutes on 4 accounts. There are also 3 accounts that I monitor and check manually...

As soon as the 143.0.1 update touched home base TBird went ballistic. Withing in seconds of it checking for mail on the four accounts it then started deleting the accounts. Any mail was down loaded then poof!! No mail and No mail account. I had to crash dive my laptop to to stop it. Spent 3 hours trying to recover the emails and accounts and managed to reclaim 3 accounts out of the 4 but lost all the emails... After all that effort I was totally peeved and decided to uninstall TBird and revert to an older version... The icing on the cake TBird wont unistall because the YES button on the TBird Helper window wont activate...

After more than thirty years of supporting Firefox and Thunderbird... You have really dropped the ball with this one... As far as me getting an email when someone answers the thread... Good Luck...

Hi!

I can't get messages from my Thunderbird account. When I click "Get messages" nothing happens and it usually says "Done" on the bottom left corner. I have to use my domain's webmail account to get my e-mail and it only allows me to read it and delete junk.

I really would love to have my Thunderbird account working again as soon as possible.

Thanks so much, Nancy Pedersen

I have settings from Greenby to set up server connections for a new account. They are validated by thunderbird but, after, entering my greenby password, generates the error, below, which greenby claims is a thunderbird problem.

"Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nsIIOService.newURI] Show less

Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nsIIOService.newURI]"

Now my greenby password works on their systems

Now I'm very new to Thunderbird so not familiar with the commands

Any one any ideas ?

As of September 3, 2026 all my new emails are going into a random folder instead of the inbox. This is also happening on my wife's PC plus and we are not getting the emails to our iPhones until we get out of Thunderbird. What has changed? This has not happened before.

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??

Inbound emails are going to Trash instead of Inbox.

No changes have been made. How can I check settings to find a solution? I see nothing related to this issue. Thanks for any help.

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?

My Thunderbird Account was updated by TB on 2 September. Since then all of my new emails go to Trash. Although I've tried the various responses to such questions, I've been unable to change the problem and get my new emails to come into my Inbox. I'd very much like your assistance please. Thank you.

mozillla or thunderbird is changing an email password blocking my access to send email from account it will not accept the password i set for account, in saved passwords it has a huge password stored that i did not set ,,also that password is not accepted it was hard enough to get that email set up on a w10 pc and a w11 laptop, this problem started when i allowed an update to t-bird, further updates have not helped on update 115.10.1, it want to update again, i have use mozilla and t-bird for 30+ yrs and the problems keep getting worse not better and has become almost user unfriendly. to add an email, should require 1)user name,, 2) email address, 3)password. thats it , it shouldnt require a IT degree to set up the rest

Since I was upgraded to Thunderbird 155.0 64 bit (Meadow) snap version on my Ubuntu version 24.04 all incoming messages are going to my spam folder. I copied my old Thunderbord profile to my snap thunderbird folder to retain folders, settings etc. and although everything else works, my incoming mail is still going directly to spam. I have unchecked the 'enable adaptive spam' check box and also 'trust junk mail headers' box. I have run repair on my inbox and also the spam folder. I checked my mail server and the mail is not marked as spam there... Getting tired of manually moving messages from spam to my inbox several times a day...... Help!
