Thunderbird: форум сообщества

If Desktop Thunderbird has been around for many years, why does it still have so many problems? I am having no end to the problems in trying to connect my to Gmail accounts effectively. This should be simple?

The note said "You are receiving this message because according to our records, you have recently logged into your . . . Google account using an outdated protocol (IMAP). This is usually through an external application such as Apple Mail or Outlook. We will be applying some security updates on October 28th, including disabling access to email via IMAP. Apple Mail and Microsoft Outlook use IMAP so these will no longer work after IMAP is disabled. You should start using the web interface on your computer and the GMail App on your iPhone immediately to make sure that you don't miss any emails.

So does this mean I won't be able to use Thunderbird any more?

Hi all!

Years back, I created my first account using POP3 when IMAP storage was expensive. Over the years I added many message filters to organize my tasks. Now I'd like to switch to IMAP and found everything I need, except for how to move/convert/copy my message filters. So my question is how can I transfer my message filters when recreating the account using IMAP? (I have a lot of filters, recreating them is no good option...)

I also noticed, that I have some filters for "Local Folders" and some for my POP3 account. Whats you're recommendation for that? Merge them into a single list assigned to the account? How can I do that?

I have Proton Mail, and Proton Bridge. It was working until Yesterday. Starting Yesterday, New emails would show up in the Web app, and the ProtonMail Desktop App, but would not make it to the Thunderbird Inbox. The first email that did this arrived at 1:30PM on 10/19. When a new email arrives, a new email windows notification will popup in the lower right hand corner. I checked Spam, and it is empty (I find this hard to believe). My phone also displays a new mail notification.

I know Thunderbird is receiving the emails. I can find the new emails by using "Quick Search", and searching for the email address of the sender of the new email. The results are completely without formatting, and do not indicate what folder they are in.

For example: I have a Gmail Account (redacted@Gmail.com), and I sent a test message to my ProtonMail address (redacted@Proton.me). That email contained the subject line "Ping 10/20" and it contained my auto signature. If enter "redacted@gmail.com" into the quick search, and I hit the return button, it only finds a message I sent about 7 weeks ago.

If I then click on the magnifying glass icon, a new tab opens up with the results. It displays the first 10 results of 54 results searching for "redacted@gmail.com". At the top of the results is my "Ping 10/20" test email. I could not find the folder name where my "Ping 10/20" test email is located on this results tab.

I see that the text "Ping 10/20" is a hyperlink, so I click it. The tab shows up, and strangely, it show the email and one reply. No reply was received by the Gmail account.

I have done troubleshooting of the ProtonMail bridge. The fact that the email is found somewhere in my thunderbird installation, I don't think ProtonMail Bridge is the issue.

Today when trying to send an email I get Sending of message failed. The mail server responded: Mailbox full. I use an Outlook address. I have emptied my trash, spam, and sent items folders along with moving many of the contents of my folders to the Local folders.

Thunderbird is installed on an iMac Retina 5K, 27" 2019 computer running macOS 15.7.6, but just this week, when it starts, it only opens a window with tabs and does not finish opening the app. The window shows the tabs, but they just have a bouncing dot from right to left, and anywhere I move the mouse on the window's control bar, I get a swirling color wheel. I restarted the Mac (no change), deleted the app and downloaded a new one, and nothing changed. Force Quit says it's 'not responding'. What do I do next?

After I set up my IMAP account on a Windows laptop, it had two Spam folders. Properties showed that the path of one ended in "/Junk" and the other path in "/spam". Note that they are both labeled "Spam" under the Home (not local) Inbox.

I just want one Junk or Spam folder, not both. Or at least be able to label one Junk and the other Spam.

Having two spam folders under the Home account with the same name is confusing. How do I fix it.

After today's update, my email is not loading from Gmail. Last delivery was 5 a.m. It is now after 5 p.m.I have restarted Thunderbird 3 times, restarted my computer and restarted the modem to no avail.

Hello This is a Thunderbird on Windows 11 question If I select a file, right click and then click on "Send to" >"Mail Recipient", Windows tell me

There is no email program associated to perform the requested action. Please install an email program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel.

But Thunderbird is installed, up and running and is set as default for MAILTO (see image)

So what could be the problem?

Luckily, files can be loaded into messages using the "Attach" command in Thunderbird if that gives you a clue

Thanks in advance for any help

Unable to open the summary file for Sent on xxxx@gmail.com. Perhaps there was an error on disk, or the full path is too long. I have tried to connect my second gmail account. The first one went ok. With the 2nd on the Inbox and All Mail folders initially gave this error, but Repair fixed both, Sent and all other folders have this error and Repair no longer fixes the problem. Then I noticed that I was then unable to delete emails from 2 inboxes including Thundermail inbox.

Keep messages in all folders for this account on this computer: In Synchronization & Storage what are the pros and cons of selecting or not selecting this option for small or large email accounts?

My email used to put all my new emails at the top of the inbox. But recently it has started putting them in between the emails already in my inbox. How can I get my inbox to load my new emails at the top of the inbox?

TB is hanging on startup as it cannot connect to an IMAP server (Ping times out) I am chasing this separately. If I click on the TB window it grays out and I have to shut TB. I know which account is causing the problem but how can I start TB WITHOUT it trying to access servers so I can delete the problem account?? Thanks in advance. Paul N
