I had an TB account with Spectrum but lost it when I didn't have Spectrum anymore. I got Sprectrum as my internet provider and am trying to create a new TB email account but have not been successful. Can you help me

On previous PC's I had TB configured to access Usenet This used: Server name: news.eternal-september.org

It would then appear in the list of accounts in the 'Left Hand pane'

I have configured (maybe not correctly) Acess, but nothing appears in teh Left Hand pane.

I attach the create account screen .. and also teh normal TB viw .. and usenet server not shown

All the information that normally appears when one clicks on the name of an account in account settings (account name, your name, e-mail address, outgoing server to use, signature, et cet.) has disappeared on all three of my accounts. When I re-enter the information, Thunderbird does not save it.

It happens in troubleshooting mode too.

Thunderbird does still know the account names, my name, my e-mail addresses, and my signatures even though that information does not appear on the page.

How can I make Thunderbird show this information again and make sure that it's using the right outgoing servers?

For reasons I can't fathom, Thunderbird and Google aren't speaking to each other at the moment. :)

have nuisance screens from Google that I cannot provide information in to resolve the problem. I believe that somehow Google is no longer recognizing passwords sent from Thunderbird and vice versa. I'm not receiving email in my Thunderbird inboxes.

My solution is to delete the affected accounts from Thunderbird and add them back. I have passwords.

Before I do this, I thought it prudent to ask the experts if this sounds like a good plan.

What say ye?

Hi there, Cant add a second account to TBird on new installation on new PC with WIN 11. Works fine on WIN 10 and LINUX Mint but fails authentication on new WIN 11 PC. First account goes on OK but cant add a second. Have checked all setting but cant see a problem. Please advise. Thanks John

Hi,

I changed the settings on an email account in Thunderbird to imap from pop3 as well as with a different host. Now everything is gone.

Is there any way to get them back? :(

Thanks for any suggestions.

When first setting up my email accounts, I accidentally created a false account that I cannot now delete. It was not fully set up and now I cannot delete it from the left panel. When I go to account actions, delete account is grayed out, how do I clean this up?

I'm just getting set up with Thunderbird. I used to use Postbox, and imported my Postbox profile into Thunderbird, which overall worked great – it got all my local email folders, and brought in my Apple email account, and so forth. The only wrinkle I've noticed so far is that it also created an account named "server7.invalid" that I can't delete. If I go to Account Settings, for "server7.invalid" it states "The following is a special account. There are no identities associated with it." The only items underneath it are "Spam Settings" and "Disk Space". There is no red Delete button for it, the way there is for my two real (IMAP) email accounts. Viewed on the Mail tab, it appears to contain only "Trash" and "Outbox", and both of those are empty. This weird invalid account doesn't seem to be doing any harm, but of course it is ugly and I just want it to go away. Help?

Hi all,

I have tried on K9, and Thunderbird Mobile.

On my tablet, with K9 mail, I exported my fully working accounts, and imported to my phone. All worked, except one account, where it only has an outbox. No inbox, no sent folder, nothing.

I then Installed Thunderbird mobile, and used the QR code link in the desktop app, to sync to it. Same issue. All other accounts work fine, but not that one account. Only an outbox.

I've logged into the web version of that account, and no restrictions are on folders. And it's only on my phone. On tablet it's fine.

I can't even choose folders in settings, for sent, etc, as there are none to choose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Because of extensive travel, I always copy my profile folder from one computer to the other so all the accounts' folders are current--including Local Folders. Every time, things are fine. This time, something is off. I know the stmp setting for each account should show the login password for that account. One account is just fine. The other two change each other so I get an error message when trying to send outgoing mail. When I look at the stmp settings, I see that the password for Account A was changed to the password for Account B. If I correct Account B's setting, Thunderbird immediately changes the password for Account A. To send outgoing mail from either account, I must now check which password shows for both accounts.

I've read everything I can find about anything that seems related to my problem but I cannot find my exact problem.

What can I do?

Today suddenly of my two email accounts, only one was opening when Firefox opened. All my folders were not visible, and the only thing I could see was the inbox for one email account. In the course of my "fixes" it's now even worse. I can only see one old archive folder (I think that's what it is). I tried reading in the forums and questions but nothing helps. I use Norton which some seem to say is a problem with updates, though it never used to be. I know where my stored emails and folders are for both accounts but Thunderbird does not seem to recognize them.

Why is TB duplicating local folders and then why I can't delete those duplicates. The only valid one is the highlighted one in the attach image.

And the message filter are not working properly?

Win10Pro

Searches and AI tell me to use "Account Actions" on the account settings page but I see no "Account Actions" on my Thunderbird.

Thunderbird 128.10.0esr MacOS 15.5

Am I just blind? Am I looking in the right place? I could swear I've done this before without any trouble.

I can get as far as add email and password, when I click continue I can't get any further, just get a round swirly blue circle for ever.

I saw an answer that said don't add the password at this stage, but if I don't add the password the continue button is not available

Hello,

I’m encountering an issue after migrating my domain and professional email service.

My address was originally hosted by Cabanova and configured in Thunderbird. I recently transferred the domain and email hosting to OVH, which caused the old mail server configuration to stop working.

Here’s the current situation:

The account in Thunderbird is still using a POP server (ssl0.ovh.net – port 995), while OVH uses IMAP (port 993).

I cannot change the server type from POP to IMAP within the existing account settings.

When I try to add a new account, Thunderbird completely freezes after I click “Continue” and never gives me access to “Manual Configuration.”

I also cannot delete the existing account because it contains all my previous local emails that I need to keep.

At the moment, I’m able to send emails from this account via OVH, but I don’t receive any incoming messages.

What I’d like to do is simply update the server configuration to OVH’s IMAP settings, without losing my existing local messages or recreating the entire profile.

Could you please let me know if there’s a way to:

Force an existing POP account to switch to IMAP,

Or safely recreate the account as IMAP without losing local data and without Thunderbird freezing during setup?

Thank you in advance for your assistance,
