Could you please tell me how to how to add existing mail account to Thunderbird? I could not find "existing mail account" in the [new] which is [file] in the top Bar. Also, there is no "Add mail account" button.

App version is latest one. waiting for your reply.

I feel like this has been asked a million times, but yet I cant find a current answer that resolves it from all the posts on google. And some are conflicting.

I added my gmail account. Imap. I dont want it downloading and saving thousands of emails. How do I stop that?

Is the only way to do that, by limiting the sync settings to like 7 days? Is this screenshot, the correct area?

I also tried Unsubscribing all the inboxes, Save, close. Then check the Subscribe pop up again, and it just re-checks them all! I cant uncheck them, it just rechecks them.

I kept seeing a message saying my libero account had failed to connect to server even though messages were still coming in (and going out?) but then my sent Folder started having gaps and messages not recorded. I decided to delete the account before re-entering it. Now, when I try to renter the details the 'new' account fails to appear and there is an error message saying 'incoming server already exists. Perhaps I didn't cancel enough when I deleted - there were 2 options, I think, but how do I now delete this 'preexisting' server connection which is blocking me???

Have 3 machines with Tbird, and 3 email accounts. During a password change for one account, TBird hammered the server enough times to get my IP blocked. I removed all 3 acco8nts and started over. In the middle of this, Bird updated and the new version makes it very difficult to stay in manual config, as the auto config continues to hammer the server. Have been unable to complete the 3 setups without the ip getting blocked, have contacted the server support 4 times for unblocking. Why has Tbird made this so difficult? Used to be very easy! I want to do setup manually, and limit the number of times the setup tests the config.

I can't access my talk talk account on my desktop anymore. Talk talk say my password has been changed correctly and that if I go in via their website I can access my email - which I can. The man on the helpdesk (actual person) said this is because it is 'controlled' by Thunderbird and he thinks I should close the account via Thunderbird and open up a new one. I am loath to do this in case I lose all my old emails. I am a 69 year old techno phobe so an easy to follow reply would be much appreciated.

Hello we have recieved several emails about our account needing us to sign in or the account will be removed - i am just checking if these emails come from you and i have now signed into the account and cannot see anything about the account being deleted

Many thanks Richard Ashton

I use the same e-mail address on my desktop and my Samsung android phone. I was told to change my desktop e-mail from POP3 to IMAP which I did and then told by the Thunderbird desktop forum to change also my phone settings from POP3 to IMAP. I was told in order to do that I needed to create a new account first and then delete the old account.

However, when I go into server settings and I put in my e-mail address from my desktop, it states "e-mail address already in use". Clearly I do not want to create a new e-mail address - just use the same e-mail address that is on my desktop so that I can access e-mails on my phone that appear on my desktop. Help please!

Hi, I’m using Thunderbird with a Yahoo Mail account and I’m seeing two Draft folders in the left pane:

Drafts Draft

Their IMAP locations are different: imap://…/Drafts imap://…/Draft

Thunderbird only saves drafts into the Drafts folder (plural). The Draft folder stays empty, but it always shows up.

What I tried so far: • Account settings → Subscribe Unchecked “Draft” there, but it doesn’t save. After reopening Subscribe, it’s checked again and the folder is still visible. • Restarted Thunderbird multiple times. • Server Settings → disabled “Show only subscribed folders”. • Checked folder Properties, but there are no options to hide it or control visibility, so it looks hard locked by Yahoo.

Conclusion so far: Yahoo seems to force both system folders via IMAP and ignores unsubscribe, so Thunderbird can’t hide or remove “Draft”.

Is there any supported way in Thunderbird to permanently hide or ignore the extra Draft folder for Yahoo accounts, or is this a known Yahoo IMAP limitation?

Thanks

I am trying to sign into my Proton mail account. On the Thunderbird app, I tap the Menu and select Settings. Then, I select Add account, type my Proton email address, and tap Next. The "Configuration found" screen is displayed. I proceed to type my Proton password correctly and tap Next. Then, there is an error that says "Checking incoming server settings failed". Does this mean Thunderbird does not fully support Proton mail?

i have pop3 account and unchecked leave on server - but greyed and checked out is a 'leave for a maximum' which i have as 1 day, there doesnt seem to be an option to uncheck this? I dont want them on the server which is why i chose pop account. yet when i open web account, the emails already downloaded using the pop account are still there even thoug they were downloaded days ago. Why is this and how do stop this? is there a 'leave copy on server' box to uncheck that I am missing? i want to use pop to remove from server and just use locally but its not doing what i thought it would, which is remove from setver. Also it keeps repeating downloading from years ago so I was hoping that when the server synced it would stop downloading the ones it has already (mulitple times) I made an imap account to try to sort emails that way but it also shows old emails still on server. Should i delet this imap account as I already have a pop account running? Very confused. Help figuring out what to do appreciated.

I was using Thunderbird Portable 136.0.1, from Portableapps.com . I then upgraded it to Thunderbird 146.0.1, by following Portableapp's instruction of installing the Portableapp 146 version to the same path of the old installation.

I then I added an Office365 Business email account to Thunderbird, but there was a problem with the SMTP configuration. I tried to change it, but then I found out that there's something wrong with my Account Settings for all accounts; they don't save the changes.

Let me explain: if I right click an account and choose "Settings", a new tab opens [image 1]. Whatever changes I make there, to "Account Name", "Your name", "Color", etc. don't get saved; as soon as I switch to another account and come back they are gone.

This also applies for "Edit outgoing server..." at the bottom. It always reverts to "Default server" and then every time I want to send an email I must change the default SMTP settings to the right settings of that specific account.

The "Delete" button for deleting the account also doesn't work, if I click it nothing happens.

Interestingly, if I switch to "Server settings" or "Copies and folders" the changes there do get saved and are displayed correctly for the different accounts.

What can I do to solve this? I already tried Troubleshooting Mode to no avail. I am currently trying to install Thunderbird Portableapp to a different folder, how can I then import all local folders and accounts to this new install?

I would like to change the authentication method to OAuth2, but it doesn't appear in the drop-down menu.

My Thunderbird version is 140.4.0esr (64-bit). I have all cookies set to allow.

How do I change it to OAuth2?
