I cannot access my email account - [email]@mercosound.com using Thunderbird. I need to change the password that Thunderbird has stored in order to access that email account, but Thunderbird is not allowing me to view/change the existing password. I get a popup window asking for my password (Mozilla??) but don't know what that is.

I recently upgraded to 102.15.1 and the printing routine has changed.

Where is Print Preview now? I've not been able to find it.

The Print command is now labelled Print... (NG) and the resultant dialog box is different from, and more complex than, the Print command in the earlier version. What does the (NG) mean and how can I get back to the simpler dialog box?

My thunderbird wont allow me to logon to my e-mails. Each time I try the following appears. "Server IMAP.free-online.net" has disconnected" so that I cannot read my mail accounts. I have checked all my connection information and it is all correct.

Het is plotseling niet meer mogelijk email te verzenden met Thunderbird. Emails ontvangen werkt wel goed. Via telefoon en webmail kan ik wel emails verzenden. It is suddenly not more possible to send emails with Thunderbird. To receive emails is ok. to send email with telephone or webmail is going correct.

Ik krijg de message:

"Verzenden van het bericht is mislukt Het bericht kon niet worden verzonden, omdat het verbinden met uitgaande (SMTP-)server is mislukt. Controleer of de instellingen van uw uitgaande (SMTP-)server juist zijn en probeer opnieuw."

Hi, I love your program except for one thing. Can you put the trash can icon in each email, like Outlook does? I get a lot of emails and need a fast delete method. I add them to junk and unsubscribe where possible, but they still keep coming.

If the delete button is in each email, then I can keep my eye on the text without have to switch my attention to the delete button where you currently have it. Even worse, the position of the delete button changes depending on the content of the email! So unless I switch my attention back and forth, I will end up archiving or clicking the junk or More buttons. Right-clicking to access the delete button takes even more time.

Thank you for your condideration of this suggested improvement. I know all users will appreciate it too! Greg

hi all today thunderbird stopped downloading messages from the mail server

a manual d/load doesn`t do anything

the mail is backed up on the server & i can`t get a d/load to happen ( manual or auto)

how to auto- clear the server so i don`t keep getting maibox full messages or is this the inbox on my computer that the message refers to

i keep deleting the junk files

My email host requires changes to connection settings (this is for an existing account), specifically to increase security but also specifying new incoming and outgoing server names.

I have meticulously copied the settings provided by the host for this purpose but Thunderbird will not (cannot?) connect to the server.

Thunderbird is not asking for my password, nor does the password appear in TB's 'Saved Passwords'.

So I tried 'Add Mail Account', entered all the new settings manually, but TB responds 'Incoming server already exists' (presumably because I had already changed the existing account settings?) - see screenshot.

Should I remove the existing account before trying 'Add Mail Account'? Although that would seem unlikely to work, since the existing account with the new settings does not connect.

Support from my email (and broadband) host has been practically useless, so I thought I would ask the wonderful brains on TB forum if they can give me any clue as to where things are going wrong?

I have a very extensive folder structure in Tbird and I'd like to check folder sizes and generally rationalise where appropriate.

Does anyone know a way in which I can export the folder structure from Tbird to Excel? I'd like to include the full folder path & name, the number of messages in each folder and the size of each folder -- that is, the data that are shown in the Tbird folder panel.

Grateful for any ideas or suggestions.

The support article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/compacting-folders#w_how-can-i-configure-compact gives the answer to this question as ≡ > Preferences (formerly Options) > Network & Disk Space > Disk Space .

However, in ver. 102.15.1, I cannot find Preferences or Options anywhere.. Where do I go?

I want to configure compact because, ever since I said to compact automatically some months ago, the compact process causes (1) all emails in the current folder to disappear for some seconds and (2) cancels the conversation thread mode and I have to remember to un-cancel it.

If I can work out how to configure compact, I'll probably go back to doing it manually (at times that suit me) to avoid these 2 problems.

Not having used the desktop Thunderbird in a while I went through and updated passwords when prompted while trying to access emails and it downloads ok but will not send. I get an error message that states log-in to server failed but it's substituting/listing a very old email account/address that is not even list in my current account list.

I followed another thread and searched for prefs.js files and there is only one. Should I delete that or is it even the issue?

I have a few e-mail addresses in Thunderbird. Something weird is happening. When I send from address A, the e-mails are getting duplicated so that the same e-mail appears in my sent file under adress A and address B. The recipient is getting the e-mail sent from address B, even though I composed and sent it from address A. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it? Thanks.

Hello,

Since I updated to Thunderbird 137.0.1 (Thunderbird for NixOS, nixos - 1.0) I get the problem where every time I close and relaunch Thunderbird, only one account shows up. The first time, eleven of my twelve accounts disappeared, with only the one on top showing anymore (or existing in settings), and every time since then, if I've tried to add a new account, then it disappears.

Is there any info I could get that would help diagnosing this easier? Should I file a bug report?

Thanks!

14 April 2025 I have used Thunderbird for many years to manage my e-mail. I have an sbcglobal.net e-mail address. This means that my ISP is AT&T. I would like to change my ISP from AT&T to Spectrum. I already have a g-mail e-mail address. My question involves compatibility of g-mail with Thunderbird. How do I find out what version of Thunderbird I have? I see that I must have a Thunderbird version 32 or newer in order for OAuth to function, since Google requires that Thunderbird support OAuth.

I already have numerous Local Files which I have set up when using the sbcglobal.net e-mail address. If I begin to use my g-mail address instead, is there a way that I can transfer all these local folders and their contents into my g-mail account, or will I have to set up each of these local folders in the g-mail account, and then copy their contents from the sbcglobal.net e-mail account into the g-mail account?

What will happen to my e-mail address book, when I switch from sbcglobal.net to g-mail? I do not want to keep the sbcglobal.net e-mail account. I want to eliminate it. Is it possible for me to copy my address book from the sbcglobal.net e-mail account to the g-mail account?

Thank you. Connie Yanicka

I receive this when I try to send email Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: Connection refused - OB119. 117.20.68.249 is blacklisted in Abusix Mail Intelligence. See https://lookup.abusix.com/search?q=117.20.68.249 e{3f88083a-8de5-49a6-9dd3-fe38a0767274}.

As one of the major programs I use is Designer that require to use old version 32 bit computer. As my existing Lenova T410S getting troubles and want to upgrade to T450s that I can use the old software include Microsoft Designer and SBT accounting system. Do I need to actually Donate in order to get the access to try on other computers ever time if I am trying another computer? As I am not sure which one is good until messages being downloaded completely.
