If you change your Thunderbird setting on your PC from POP to Imap, how do you change setting on phone if you are not allowed to change them? Do you have to delete existing POP account and setup/add the new Imap version. ? Can you also force stop the POP account and try to change settings that way?

Dear Team After Updating from 102.15.1 (32Bit) to 115.28.0 (32Bit) I can not connect to the provider "pop.hispeed.ch" anymore. Ping pop.hispeed.ch (on CMD) shows normal raction of beeing reachable with a "reply from xxxx.". I am on Windows 7 SP1. I have checked several times all setting POP and SMTP, switched off Firewall, uninstalled virus scanner, and and and many more (all knowledge found on internet..). Pressing the "Get Message" button in the upper menue bar shows no raction when pressed. The icon "Get Message" on the left side of the button "+ New Message" results in a none moving blue status bar at the right bottom of the window. After a while with the message "timed out.. ".In the settings "Config Editor.." the values of "mailnews.tcptimeout" are set to "300", and "true". I am using TB since donkey years with many many eMails. Are the lost? Thank you for support and help, Andy

Hi,

I put some messages into folders yesterday and then created another folder and dragged the first folder into it to become a subfolder.

When I did this, I saw the new folder but it couldn’t be expanded to show the subfolders.

All other mail clients showed the correct hierarchy except Thunderbird.

Why is this happening?

Secondly, I post comments on the thunderbird blog regularly but they never show up. Where are they disappearing to? Are you receiving them?

Damage of all cyrillic symbols in subfolders' (not folders'!) names occurs after update from the latest minor version 128.x.x to 136.0.

The names of subfolders in Russian (marked in a large red rectangle) are damaged now. However, their names in the upper right zone (marked in a small red rectangle) near message count are shown correctly in Cyrillic (Russian)...

Notes: 1 - Subfolder names are broken (see the 1st screenshot). 2 - Folder names are good (see the 2nd screenshot). 3 - Some zones are faded by me in case of privacy.

How to fix it?

Hello, I did just make a clean reinstallation of Thunderbird and while going through the setting I have notices that at Passwords / Save Passwords / `Show Passwords` my Account Passwords can be access with less effort.

My question now is, why is this even a feature?

In my mind, this should be by default off. Or at least informed me at the first account setup that my passwords are visible in the Settings, and if I want to set up a Master Password as well.

Is there an option to have the Button `Show Password` disable? Or if a Master Password have to be, then set it for only access `Show Password` but not for the login in to Thunderbird.

My Macbook Pro has been crashing - sometimes Firefox, sometimes Thunderbird -sometimes multiple times/day. I've saved many of the crash reports in case they might help someone know how to fix this. An Apple tech person diagnosed my memory was broken, so I just got a new logic board and reinstalled all my data from my Time Machine backup. Then a message popped up that Thunderbird was damaged and should be put in the trash. Around the same time i replied to an email from someone at Thunderbird donor who was responding to a question i had about a small donation i tried to make - i explained i was having trouble with Thunderbird. At that time, i could see the Thunderbird icon in my task bar. When talking with someone from Apple support this evening who was helping me answer a couple of questions, including about a new "mail" icon that showed up in my task bar, I mentioned that i'd like to learn how to back up or archive my emails in Thunderbird. That's when i saw that the Thunderbird icon - had disappeared. The Apple support person and i searched all over my computer for the Thunderbird app, but couldn't find it. I'm really nervous. I have over 300,000 emails I've been wanting to learn how to archive - or something. I don't want to delete most of them. I hope someone can help me find everything. Thank you.

Impossible sending e-mails regularly from a few days ago.

A message "Too many sending failures" appears though failures are a very few ones and this block increases every day.

How can be it solved?

How do I report an issue with the way NVDA and Thunderbird interact? When I tab, I can't out of a link, and the focus does not move. If I tab to a link in a message then arrow down, I am where I expect, but then if I go to the top of the message, the tab focus remains where it was when I last hit the tab key. This is not standard behavior, but everyone else I've talked to seems to think it's behaving normally and has no tips for me on how to fix it.

Windows Live Mail finally stopped working for me. I tied both gmail desktop notifications and Outlook and kept having the same problem: I'd get a pop-up for 3 seconds saying I had an email in another account and then it would disappear. There was no record of it in "Notifications" like there was for WLM.....so, if I didn't see it pop up, I'd never know.....which takes away the main purpose of having it.

So, I decided to try Thunderbird and get the same problem. A very brief pop-up saying I got an email and then it vanished....with no record. So, if I was in the kitchen or bathroom, I'd never know about it.

Any suggestions?

When I open up my Thunderbird to get emails I keep getting getting error code 0x80570015. I can't see attachments and cannot respond to emails. Also cannot delete emails. I Iooked it up to see how to fix it and they say to remove the "lightning" add on. When I go under tools and look for this add on, it is not there. In fact it doesn't seem that I have any add-ons. Something to do with the calendar which I don't even use. It says Thunderbird is up to date. Could you please give any advice how to fix it. Thanks, Matt

We have 2 gmail accounts in Thunderbird. outgoing emails don't show in sent mail.

I read the solution for my same problem- quoted below. This does not fix the problem for me. Every time I change the SMTP outgoing address for one account the other account gets changed to match it.

"It is exactly as I suspected: all the SMTP servers have the same description. To fix the problem, you need to edit each of them in the account settings>Outgoing Server (SMTP) pane and give each a different DESCRIPTION. Since they all have the same name, Thunderbird goes with the default. I suggest putting each email id within the description field for easy identification. Do that for all four SMTP servers. Then, click the account page for each, and at bottom of pane, click and set the appropriate SMTP server.

Hello,

Today I added a new mail account and used it to write a test mail containing German umlauts. The result is this:

Subject: Das ist ein Testmail Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Hi,

ich sende dir eine Testmail!

Liebe Grüße

In other accounts that are also configured in Thunderbird but run on other servers, the result looks different. Namely:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Das ist ein Test.

Alles Liebe! =C3=A4=C3=B6=C3=BC =C3=84=C3=96=C3=9C=C3=9F=C3=9F=C3=9F

The latter is correct and right. Why does Thunderbird behave differently for the newly created account?

Kind regards

One of my email accounts "managed" by TB was moved from Google to Microsoft. Since then, emails that were starred before are no longer starred. In Outlook webmail, the same emails appear as flagged, so the information did not get lost. Starring an email in TB will cause it to appear as flagged in Outlook, however not the other way round. Is there any way to adapt TB, so there will be a perfect sync? Thanks a lot in advance.

When composing a message, as soon as I hit the space bar a blue border appears around the message pane and instead of inserting a space the cursor jumps to the end of the message. When I try to go back to insert the space where I want it the curser jumps to the end again. So basically I can't insert any spaces in the message. This has only just started happening, been using TBird without any problems for a long time. Any advice would be much appreciated Thanks Geoff

Hi - I am having a problem with where Thuderbird is sending attachment files. I have "Save files to" set to C:\C Drive Documents\Attachments2 but the attachments are showing up in C:\Users\laroc\AppData\Local\Temp\pid-3656. This just started happening about a week ago and I just noticed today when I looked in "Attachments2" for a file but could not find it.

I restarted the computer. Did not help.

I re-installed Thunderbird and that did not help either.

Any thoughts?

In the past week or so I have noticed that some emails disappear from one inbox on my Windows 10 PC. I have three Thunderbird accounts (call them A, B, and C), and the emails only disappear from box A. It seems completely random, and furthermore they only disappear on my own PC. My husband has an identical set-up on his Windows 10 PC, which also includes the boxes A, B, and C, and the messages do NOT disappear there. I can also see them on my iPhone and two iPads, and they do not disappear from those. I have tried forwarding them to myself from my phone, and while most of them did show up in the A inbox on my PC, I have noticed that some of them have now disappeared again.

This is incredibly frustrating, because I do most of my work at my PC. I thought I needed an update, but TB says I am up to date (128.8.0esr (32-bit)). It can't be anything to do with the server, because it is so specific: one inbox on one PC only. There doesn't seem to be any special pattern--some have attachments, some don't.

Many thanks for any suggestions!

Can't seem to get thunderbird to connect to my xfinity (comcast.net) email... tried full reinstalls, changing the password, and all the steps in this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1437228

As well as trying "normal password" instead of OAuth2. The OAuth2 option does not seem to generate a pop-up to authorize that way. Using other 3rd party and logging in via browser also work.

Does thunderbird need to update something to fix the issue? Its been only a few weeks now for me that this was an issue.

Hi folks.

I have a situation where I need to access an email but it seems to be invisible.

It's supposed to be in the Inbox, and when I do a search the results show it is there, yet it doesn't display or is otherwise accessible. The email dates from 2020.

Thanks.

I recently received email from two different sources & their large jpg images take a long time to load/open. One email contained an 11MB image & the other an 18MB image.

Yet there is no problem opening a 12MB or 19MB image from email I still have from a few months ago.

To my knowledge they all came from cell phones. The 12, 18, 19 from iPhones and not sure about the 11MB.

Usually I have no problem so I'm not sure what's going on with those two new jpgs.

Any suggestions to what the problem is? Thanks.
