"connection to server pop.mail.yahoo.com timed out" I have been getting this message in the activity manager for about a week now. When I click get messages, it says down loading message 1 of 1, but nothing happens.

After your upgrade I was unable to send messages. The incoming I was able to fix but the outgoing I could not fix. I have included the email message sent to me and I have included a picture of the outgoing STMP,

Hello,

I have been using Thunderbird for years without issue, but three days ago, I started having issues.

Now, I don't receive emails when I open Thunderbird. If I delete my password and re-sign in, I receive emails, but cannot send them. Trying to send an email makes Thunderbird ask me to sign in again.

I have two email accounts that I use with Thunderbird. Both accounts have this issue. I have this issue regardless of the network I'm in (work, cell hotspot, or home).

Things I have tried:

• Verified that my IMAP and SMTP settings match the guidance from email servers.
• Verified that my computer firewall is not blocking email.
• Tried connecting on different networks (so different ISPs)
• Deleted and re-entered passwords for each account

Here my current server configuration:

• Email 1 (@gmail.com)

 * Server Name: imap.gmail.com
 * Port: 993
 * Connection Security: SSL/TLS
 * Authentication Method: OAuth2

• Email 1 Outgoing Server:

 * Server Name: smpt.gmail.com
 * Port: 465
 * Authentication Method: OAuth2
 * Connection Security SSL/TLS

• Email 2 (@[university].edu)

 * Server Name: outlook.office365.com
 * Port: 993
 * Connection Security: SSL/TLS
 * Authentication Method: OAuth2

• Email 2 Outgoing Server:

 * Server Name: smtp.office365.com
 * Port: 587
 * Authentication Method: OAuth2
 * Connection Security SSL/TLS

I will greatly appreciate any help you can provide!

Hello All, all of a sudden I cannot send emails anymore. I do receive emails though. I have 4 accounts and none works. I went to account settings > outgoing ... all my accounts are set to SSL/TLS and below OAuth2. What goes into the Username field ... the email address or just my name? When I send a test email to myself the send window keeps going and going .. never sends BTW ... in Server Settings I have the same Authentication and Security as in Outgoing. Please help - I'm not getting anywhere. Also ... what goes into "Manage Identities"? ... just the specific email? or all four?

Thanks

For some reason all my emails contained in the inbox keep moving to the trash box by themselves. I have to manually move them back to the inbox. This includes read and unread messages. anyone know how to stop this? V 152.0 64 bit.

all INBOX emails disappeared from one of my email accounts. The other is working fine. Emails that were still open in one of the tabs are also now just an empty tab. --no luck repairing folder or deleting INBOX.msf. If I go to the Charter/Spectrum website the emails are still showing What should I try next?

All of the incoming messages are going to Trash. This includes messages I have not indicated as trash. I get no new messages to my inbox. Started today, 09/04/2026.

Hi - Thunderbird has not fetched any emails from the past two days. I am running 153.1.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 10. If I remember correctly, I downloaded that version four days ago. I vaguely recall getting some message somehow that I needed the ESR. (Sorry I don't have a very good memory!) Thunderbird did fetch emails for two days after that...but I suppose it's possible that I didn't restart Tbird right away, so maybe it was still using an older version until two days ago?? My ISP is RCN/Astound. Last week, I changed my password on both the RCN webmail and on Thunderbird, and I could send and receive after that. Tonight, when I discovered that Thunderbird wasn't fetching, I also tried to send an email, but I initially received an error message. It was something like "Your message was unable to be saved" and then there was something about saving it as a draft. I've seen that message many times over the years, but I don't remember exactly what it said. Thinking it might be a password requirements issue, I changed my password again. I don't know if that mattered, but I am now able to send emails -- but I still can't fetch them. I turned off my Windows firewall and Windows real-time threat protection. That didn't help. I saw this thread https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1531863 tonight and set "network.dns.disableIPv6" to "true." That didn't help either. I would appreciate any assistance you can provide. Though I am not a expert, I am happy to provide more info if needed. Thank you in advance for your help.

After returning from a 6 day vacation, my wife attempted to download email from her Yahoo email account. There are nearly 200 messages that have piled up but they aren't moving. I've uninstalled and re-installed TB. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app password in Yahoo. There is no problem with accessing the email via any web browser. I spent 49 minutes on a tech support call with Yahoo and they have said the problem is with TB because they repeated the same steps I have. I checked firewall settings and the only antivirus program on the computer is Malware Bytes and it's not running in the background.

The version of TB is the most recent as of yesterday. I don't see any sketchy looking emails in the web version of Yahoo Mail when it's opened. It's set up as a POP3 account and has been since Cox Internet gave their email over to Yahoo. I'd appreciate any assistance in resolving this because it's currently above my pay grade and tech support at Yahoo.

A message failed to send due to some issue with the mail server, and Thunderbird said I could choose to Send Later, which I chose to do. But that message disappeared (to me) - wasn't in Drafts, where did it go? Thanks,

Yesterday I had to change my Spectrum email - I have an old road runner email address and swapped over to spectrum.net server from the old server. In this process I had to update my password to access the server.

When I updated per the instructions from Spectrum I was able to do a normal download into my Thunderbird inbox. This triggered me having to input the new password. I did check the box to update the password and save it. After the one time download I cannot get Thunderbird to download emails. I can send emails with no problems but cannot download. No way can I get a download - it does not on initialization, at the set time nor with the manual request.

Spectrum is no help - their web mail works and it's my problem. I realize this is an old system, legacy and all that - anybody got a magic fix?

Any idea on how I messed this up?

Thanks.

Thunderbird downloads new emails for all my emails except one. Has not downloaded on that one since July 3. Have reset various background settings to match other email accounts. Running on Windows 10. Suggestions?

Using the same settings as my main account: imap.gmail.com SSL/TLS 0Auth2 Tried copying in same local directory as one that is working. No idea what all these do...

I have Thunderbird 146.0.1, using 6 email accounts with POP. Two questions:

1) Whenever I start Thunderbird, it retrieves only a subset of the email accounts which I have defined to Thunderbird. Some accounts retrieve ALL, and other accounts retrieve NONE. I also have the extension "Get All Mail" and when I click that it retrieves ALL the email, including the email that the Thunderbird base program didn't retrieve. How can I get Thunderbird to get ALL the email?

or alternatively...

2) Can I somehow disable the Automatic Retrieval of Email when I start Thunderbird? ... and rely solely on the "Get All Email" extension.

I get a message saying "The certificate is invalid." And I am currently unable to receive emails. When I open the server settings screen, it says "The certificate exception already exists."

Suddenly TB stopped checking mail on time intervals set in the server settings. It does check mail at startup and when manually triggered. MacOs 15.7.3 MacBook pro M1

Thunderbird will no longer send E-Mail but still works for incoming E-Mail. It provides the following error message:

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) outbound.att.net failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

The Outgoing server is configured as follows: AT&T / outbound.att.net / 465 / SSL/TLS / Normal Password / E-Mail

This configuration has not been changed in years. Everything I can find on line suggests this configuration should still work. Any suggestions you could provide would be appreciated.

Tom

the problem is that when I receive an email it goes straight to delete folder there is no where I can set the filters to filter of my choosing, I have lost losing all in coming mails I am talking with telstra as one page said it is an IMAP problem in that it just removes emails for no reason but in your problems page it says I can change the filter settings but in the settings there is no place to change filter rules

I am getting very frustrated  after 6 hours and not getting anywhere  I have uninstall Thunderbird and reinstalled  but nothing changed 
running win 11os  on desktop 

what do you suggest

Hi, my Gmail account on Tbird is failing to copy sent emails to the sent box. The email hangs with "connecting to Imap Gmail" and then "your email was sent but a copy could not be placed in your sent box". I have re-downloaded Tbird, deleted and re-connected to Gmail but the problem persists. I have tried the fixes mentioned on this forum in 2024 (e.g. changing the destination folder as suggested, changing threads to "all") but nothing seems to work. Help!!

Thunderbird suddenly fails to download any emails on one account after a certain date and time but downloads the last email prior to then repeatedly. This occurs on only one of my computers running windows 11 and started immediately following a windows update. Other email accounts from the same email provider continue to work properly.
