Installed Thunderbird in August 26. Successfully added Outlook and Gmail accounts (send and receive)

On a roll I then tried to migrate from Plusnet to Greenby. Can successfully receive emails via IMAP.plus.net server. But could not send mails from Greenby (other accounts still OK)

Traced problem via forum query 31???? to inability to create a new SMTP server for outbound mail. After entering all data in the outbound server there is no response whatsoever to clicking add button (ie no error messages or servers added to SMTP list)

Then tried to delete the partially active Greenby account via clicking delete button in account setting window. No response. Account still present.

Does anyone have any suggestions to solve this before I try the doomsday action of deleting and reinstalling Thunderbird.

TIA Phil

I was attempting to move my thunderbird folders from one computer to a new one. I followed the instructions, copied the thunderbird app data and went to transfer it. However, two problems arose. First, it only held my incoming mail, not sent, drafts, anything else. Second and worse, those folders are now gone from my existing thunderbird on my current computer. How can I recover these and transfer them? I really need this info. I tried following the instructions from the troubleshooting menu, but that only showed me the folders which had transferred, not the ones that are missing.

For some reason after either a recent Firefox update or a Windows 11 update (genuinely don't recall which) anytime I enter the fullscreen of a video the windows taskbar is still visible, covering up the video player controls. If I enter fullscreen for the browser itself though (tapping f11) and then enter fullscreen on the video this doesn't happen. I've tested this on Chrome and Edge and this behavior happens on neither. Thought this was Youtube only but it also happens on Vimeo and Imgur, so I assume it happens on all video players. Firefox version 156.0, Windows 11 25H2 OS build 26200.9457

I downloaded Thunderbird on my new Windows 11 laptop and began setup by entering my full name and email address ([redacted]@utexas.edu, operated by Gmail). The next screen asks for my "email account password." I entered my Google password that allows me to access my email at Gmail (https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox). But "Authentication failed," and I am stuck! I cannot finish installing Thunderbird. I have used Thunderbird for many years on my prior laptop (Windows 10).

Hello fellow Thunderbirds,

I have been using Thunderbird for years and had thousands of emails in quite a few folders, with a shit-tonne of filters etc. My emails were running pretty well. I only use two addresses, but the folders help manage everything.

I just got a new computer last week. Prior to switching over to the new computer I read through the 'Export your Thunderbird Profile' help page, and the 'Move Thunderbird data to a new computer' pages. I've tried to follow all the info there (with a glitch, explained below).

I am using a Windows system and have gone from Win10 to Win11.

I have the following data:

  • Mozilla Maintenance Service (in Program Files (x86) ).
  • Mozilla Thunderbird (in Program Files (x86) )
  • Thunderbird (In Users/Username/AppData/Local/Thunderbird) (Contains 'profile' and 'updates'

I tried to swap the above data into the same spots on the new computer, but alas, it's not working. I *may*, however, have fucked it up myself...

So... When I got the new computer, I immediately downloaded Firefox, but, alas, I entered my email's details before closing it down. It did download a few off the server, but only a day's worth (before I realised I screwed up).

As soon as I realised I'd mucked up, I uninstalled Thunderbird and deleted the files on the new computer (you know how when you download it doesn't always remove all the stuff, so I tried to do this).

I reinstalled Thunderbird, but closed it prior to loading the email addresses on (as instructed). I then transferred all the above data into the corresponding file areas on the new computer. However, everytime I try to run the program it just goes to the standard open screen (with the popup that prompts you to enter your email addresses and details into it - see image, below, in case I'm not explaining it right).

Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you might be able to give me as I'm desperate to get my emails running again and have access to all the saved emails which were in my system. Kindly. Larysa.

Emails with blank headers

I have a BT Internet email account configured in Thunderbird using IMAP.

I'm experiencing a problem where some emails in the message list have no Correspondent/sender or Subject, and sometimes the displayed time is incorrect.

For example, a message-list entry showed 12:55, but when I opened it, the actual email was from 8 September. The email body itself was present and correct.

My Inbox contains approximately 7,782 messages and took several days to synchronise. I also have numerous archive folders.

I have already:

Checked the BT IMAP settings — mail.btinternet.com, port 993, SSL/TLS. Allowed the entire Inbox to finish synchronising. Used Repair Folder on the Inbox. Restarted Thunderbird. Restarted Windows. Changed the message list from Cards View to Table View.

The problem persists.

Importantly, the same BT mailbox displays correctly in both the BT Mail app and iOS Mail.

I also experienced a very similar problem previously in New Outlook: some newly received BT emails appeared as [Unknown] with (No subject). Removing and re-adding the BT IMAP account and repairing/resetting New Outlook did not resolve it.

Thunderbird is therefore the second desktop IMAP client in which I've experienced this type of problem, while BT's own mail app and iOS Mail display the messages correctly.

I don't want to create a new Thunderbird profile because the existing profile contains thousands of emails and took several days to synchronise.

Could this be an IMAP synchronisation/message-header/indexing issue between Thunderbird and BT Mail?

I can provide screenshots and any Thunderbird diagnostic information you need.

Hi All,

I am on the latest release 156.0 on Windows 10. I have 3 email accounts, 2 gmail and 1 yahoo. The Yahoo account has been giving me problems since the last 2 weeks. Mind that yesterday I have a completely new Windows 10 installation so also TB installation is new.

I have renewed the Oath login, all messages were downloaded without a problem, but once in a while I get different notifications about server errors such as the ones below. There's also a third type of message error but haven't been able to get a screenshot of it.

Could someone please help me to solve this issue? I really don't understand why the problem is intermittent. Thanks in advance!

I do all my email on my computer but I do have Tbird on my cellphone too, just in case I have to send something. But I never download. So I was in a situation where a government process included 'check your email' and I had only my cellphone with me. So I started downloading: 25 more, 25 more, 25 more ... and a hundred presses latter it's still not finished. Is there some way to reset that? I'm back with my computer and my email seem fine, but the cellphone remains stuck.

Hello,

I recently received an email with a PNG attachment. The image rendered inline within the email, but when I moused over the image, my cursor switched to a zoom cursor and I was unable to right-click and get a context menu to save the image (right clicking simply zoomed/un-zoomed the image).

Changing the 'Display Attachments Inline' in the view menu did not appear to change anything (it still rendered inline), and to save the PNG I had to switch the rendering to plain text, and then grab the attachment from there.

Have other people seen this behavior?
