I'm unable to send any email with Thunderbird on my new Windows11 laptop. I've used Thunderbird for years and years on the old Windows10 one, but it won't send anything with the new one. The version info it gives is "128.5.1esr (64-bit)" Whenever I try to send an email message, it waits a long long time and then gives a popup saying "Login to server smtp.mail.yahoo.com with username bill.marshall@verizon.net failed." It gives me an option to enter a new password, and if I click there it doesn't let me enter the password again, just re-tries, again waits a long long time, then gives the same error popup. When I cancel, it gives a new popup saying to check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in Account Settings. Authentication method looks fine, but the password (Settings->SavedPasswords) is empty (?? But I entered the password when I started Thunderbird and asked it to save it).

I moving from classic outlook to Thunderbird and I am having trouble finding how to change fonts and color in signatures for my emails. I do not do html it is a simple signature; name company name and phone numbers. I search and found no help. Is there a way to change color and font in the reply to an email? Sorry I know this sounds simple but I have been using outlook since it came out so this is similar but just enough to give me trouble. Thank you for any help, rick

I have a large amount of emails stored in a mail server (almost 22G), and the service will expire next month. So I want to use Thunder Bird to keep these emails in my local drive for later access. I am new to this software, and have a few questions. 1. Should I use IMAP or POP3 for my purpose? 2. Because it is a huge volume, I guess it may take several days to download all emails. Then, can I turn off Thunder Bird while it is downloading or pause the download process and resume later? What if the downloading process be interrupted due to internet disconnection, power failure or other reasons? Can the software resume where it leaves and ensure the integrity of all emails? Thank you for any help!

Windows 11 23h2 fully up to date, Thunderbird Version 128.5.2esr When in win explorer, right click context menu, send to, mail recipient produces error "no email program is associated......... despite Thunderbird being set as default both in it's settings and in windows settings app defaults with all file types registered,

Suddenly, my keyboard DELETE button will not delete Thunderbird emails. I have to right click and click on rubbish bin to delete. Very tiresome. My delete button works fine on every other programme.

I'm having trouble with Thunderbird on my new Windows11 laptop. I've used Thunderbird for years and years on the old Windows10 one, but can't get it to work right on the new one. The version info it gives is "128.4.4esr (64-bit)"

Specifically two problems. (1) Every time it starts it asks for my yahoo server's password. Even though I check the box asking it to remember it, it doesn't. Under Settings->Privacy&Security (under Passwords)->SavedPasswords, the list is empty. (2) Second problem (may be same as first, but in a different form) Whenever I try to send an email message, it fails. It waits a long long time and then gives a popup saying "Login to server smtp.mail.yahoo.com with username bill.marshall@verizon.net failed." It gives me an option to enter a new password, and if I click there it doesn't let me enter the password again, just re-tries, again waits a long long time, then gives the same error popup. When I cancel, it gives a new popup saying to check the password and verify the 'Authentication method' in Account Settings (which I have done, and all looks OK).

Thanks Bill Marshall, bill.marshall@verizon.net

You can give me some help in finding out why my Thunderbird account will not launch. It is VERY inconvenient to not have access to email. Thunderbird works on my macbook, and ipad but not my imac. WHY ????

I have been receiving emails for my butlerfamilia@aol.com account on my pc, via Thunderbird, and on my ipad. Now both devices are saying the password is invalid. I have gone to the AOL website and changed the password and can receive emails at mail.aol.com. I have gone back to thunderbird and folllowed instructions to change the pw by deleting in settings and restarting Thunderbird and entering the new pw that AOL Mail recognises. But Thunderbird still says the pw is not valid. Any suggestions ?

Dear Support Team,

I am experiencing an issue where the "Send to -> Mail recipient" option is missing from the context menu in Windows, despite having Mozilla Thunderbird set as my default email client. Steps to reproduce the issue:

   I have set Thunderbird as my default email client in Windows 11.
   MAILTO links work correctly when triggered from a browser or PowerShell (e.g., start-process "mailto:test@example.com" opens Thunderbird as expected).
   However, the "Mail recipient" option is completely missing from the "Send to" context menu.

Additional troubleshooting:

   I have verified that MAILTO is associated with Thunderbird in the Windows default apps settings.
   The registry keys under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\mailto\shell\open\command are set to:
   "C:\Path\To\Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -osint -compose "%1"
   I have recreated the Mail recipient.MAPIMail shortcut in %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo pointing to Thunderbird.
   I have reinstalled Thunderbird and checked MAPI compatibility, but the issue persists.
   Running rundll32.exe url.dll,MailToProtocolHandler test@example.com successfully opens Thunderbird.

Observations:

   The issue seems isolated to the context menu functionality.
   The "Mail recipient" shortcut does not appear in the context menu at all, even after manually creating the Mail recipient.MAPIMail file in the SendTo folder.

Could you please help me resolve this issue? Are there any additional settings or configurations I need to adjust to restore the "Send to -> Mail recipient" option for Thunderbird?

Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards, Ondrej

I updated from TB 115 to 116. I had to re-enter email and calendar (to Google) connection info. Calendar does not display. Email and Contacts seem alright. Is Provider still needed?

I am just a non-computer-literate old woman. I have tried to follow advice from the community forum. All that SMTP stuff is Greek to me. Since the last update to Thunderbird, I can't reach my daughter or my neighbour. One uses Hotmail and the other Yahoo. sometimes after about 4 days my neighbour will tell me he finally got a message.

Please change this. The only way I can reach them is to leave Thunderbird for webmail. It's a nuisance. Can someone please advise.

This happens in all my email accounts, I have pop downloading all files from the server & imap on other accounts.

For the past twelve days, I have been having inconsistency with my e-mail.

I am sparingly receiving e-mail and, I can't send any e-mail. My ISP said, given the error code I was getting, when I tried to send, that. The problem was with Thunderbird.

Since the recent updates, my Thunderbird has gone bonkers with confusing settings. I have lost all my previous settings and in particular cannot create any subfolders. I have had no problems in the past. I have tried a few solutions suggested by other subscribers without success. It would be greatly appreciated if the developers (who have done a marvellous job for so long) can rectify the problem ASAP. Otherwise, can I revert to an older version?

Hi - on my Thunderbird I can see what seem to be duplicates of my mail accounts. Please see pic. These are IMAP accounts. At the top where is says INBOX - I can open that up and reveal all my email accounts - and any subfolders I have in them. Then at the bottom I now seem to have duplicates of these mail accounts although the icon is slightly different.

Subfolders in the top email accounts within the INBOX - seem to periodically move down to the accounts at the bottom which is really confusing.

How can I tidy this up please? Thanks for any help. Jonathan
