Thunderbird: форум сообщества

I have a new gmail account and I can't figure out how to get Thunderbird to show me messages that come in to that address. I changed some things trying to set up a second account but emails still don't arrive. I am using a desktop computer with the most recently updated Windows 11 and updated Thunderbird too. What am I missing?

I have installed Mozilla ThunderBird Previously on many machines. Am Familiar with Incoming Email Servers and OutGoing Email Servers ... Also special ports ... POP ... and .... SMTP ... IMAP ... ETC ... GBGB On this Machine ... Dell Latitude ... 128 GB SSD ... 8GB RAM I have Mozilla ThunderBird Installed for as Single Email Account ... OverstreetENGR@Juno.com

When I REPLY to Emails , THIS IS the error message that I get : Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.juno.com timed out. Try again.

There is a message in my Inbox that cannot be deleted or moved. I've tried re-starting Firefox several times to no avail.

The stubborn message is actually completely blank when viewed in Tbird. Also - the stubborn message has already been moved to another folder where it can be read (i.e. message contents available). Yet - this stubborn "ghost" mail message will not disappear from my Inbox!?

I am connected to an Exchange email server - one of the "shared" servers administered by Microsoft.

I had hoped to get away from the insanity of Outlook, but it seems when it comes to email, there is no escape!

And finally FWIW, When I view my Inbox in "Web Outlook", there is no "stubborn ghost message" in the Inbox - the message is where I moved it.

Thunderbird administers my 7 "aol" email addresses (accounts) on my Dell laptop (running Windows 7). 5 of the accounts are behaving normally, but the other two accounts appear to be linked. So, when I send an email from one of them, it appears in both "sent" folders. When I receive an email in one of them, it appears in both "in box" folders. When I visit "mail.aol.com", these 2 accounts behave normally. So it appears that they are linked within Thunderbird. Can you suggest a possible solution? Thanks, Tim

TDS is dropping support for email services 10/31/2026. They are providing an option to migrate our data to a new provider Everymail, I'm wondering what other options I have and what it means to my current mail data(Inbox, Archive etc..) if I go to another provider(not Everymail)?

I've used just the default profile I setup when I started using Thunderbird, I can't tell where all of that data is stored and I don't want to loose some of the Archived messages from over the years.

 When I click on properties for the Thunderbird Archive Folder it shows:

mailbox://botto%40chorus.net@mail.tds.net/Archive

Is this data on my local storage or on TDS?

Any help here would be appreciated, Thanks

When I delete mails they remain in the Gmail All Mails folder. I have set the setting to move deleted messages to Trash (attached) and I always Empty the Trash manually. In All Mail all the deleted mails are present. In the attached screendump from Gmail webmail it is the mails without any labels in front. (I have unsubscribed to All Mails in TB, but previously these messages would show up as only present i All Mail when searched in TB). Is there a synchronization problem? I have noted that there are two Trash folders in Gmail webmail: 1. in:trash (where Gmail webmail is putting deleted mails which do NOT show up in All Mails) and 2. label:[imap]-trash (where TB is putting deleted mails which DO show up in All Mails). Is that the problem?

Additional question: is there an easy way to permanently delete the mails without label i All Mails?

I have everything I need from my old machine except my e-mail filters. If I copy the whole profile I will lose all of the sent messages and saved messages I have generated since I got Thunderbird up and running on my new machine.

First I am very frustrated that someone decided to change the default to show all messages in threads. How do I globally disable this for every profile on my system. Additionally how do I disable it in one pass for all top level folders at the moment I have to change one top level folder at a time on every system I use thunderbird on, as I have over 100 folders this is very inconvenient. How do I modify a new thunderbird installation so all users and profiles default to threads being turned off.

I am using Mail Merge to send messages, and want to have the date in the body of the message change to the date I actually send the email. Or I have a draft email that I eventually send. Is there a field that will insert today's date (to compensate for me forgetting to change the date manually)?

When I start Thunderbird, the same message is downloaded each time.

The status bar then reads "Downloading message 2 of 17," except that 17 is now up to 27.

Thunderbird remains in this state. No second message is ever downloaded.

When I close down and restart Thunderbird, it's Groundhog Day all over again.

Trying "Clear Recent History" has no effect on the issue.

I am on Thunderbird 150.0.2 (64-bit) on the release update channel. I'm on a Windows 11 HP Envy Laptop purchased in July 2025.

I have recently installed Thunderbird to help me with my overfull Yahoo account. I installed it using the default Yahoo authentication which seems to work fine. Since Yahoo exposes at most 100,000 messages in any one mail folder, and my inbox had over 250,000, my goal is to spread those out amongst a few different folders so that I can manage the inbox more effectively offline. To that end, I set up a couple of saved search folders, each of which selects e-mails within a two-year date range. Incidentally, each only selects about 1,000 messages at a time, not the 40,000 or so each of those time periods seem to contain. When I use my Ctrl-A shortcut to select the messages in one of the 'search' folders, then move those messages to my Yahoo mail folder under my e-mail account, the messages initially are wiped from the saved search folder, but after a few minutes they all return!

Incidentally, the saved search folder has the same name as the folder I'm trying to copy the messages to, but the search folder is under the Inbox, and the other folder is 'beside' (not under) the Inbox.

Let me know if there is a more efficient and effective way of doing what I want. Ultimately, I want well under 100,000 messages in my Inbox.

Thank you

Recently started getting many more mails than usual. many if not all related to setting up an account at a site from which I had not solicited an account. some included requests to acknowledge charges to my account for purchases I had not made charged to payment accounts I did not have. Some I could not read because they were in languages I did not read. My usual practice is to read and then delete emails that I don't need, but the ones I am receiving are so numerous, reading each and then deleting is impractical. I need some way to delete by categories. I don't understand what is causing the flood of emails but I need to stop it if I can. Hidden in the emails I am getting may be some I need and if I delete by categories I may lose some that I need, but at the same time, it is impractical to read and then delete individual messages. mails Anyone have any idea what caused the flood of what appears to be spurious emails, is it some sort of scam or cyber attack?

I want to install Mozila Email on my Windows 10 Laptop and want not to use the default version 150 but version 142. The support still downloads version 150 when I choose verso 142. What can I do to correct this?

Unable to add personal Hotmail/Outlook.com account via IMAP with OAuth2 Hi, I'm unable to add my personal Microsoft account (@hotmail.com) to Thunderbird via IMAP despite trying every solution I could find. My setup:

Thunderbird (latest version), macOS Sequoia 15.6.1 Account: personal @hotmail.com

What I have tried:

Manual IMAP configuration with both smtp-mail.outlook.com and smtp.outlook.com as outgoing server OAuth2 authentication — the Microsoft login window opens, I successfully log in, but Thunderbird still throws "Unable to log in at server" Enabled cookies for all Microsoft domains (outlook.com, login.live.com, login.microsoftonline.com) in Privacy & Security settings Enabled 2FA on my Microsoft account and generated an App Password, then tried with Normal password authentication — same error Toggled the experimental Account Hub off and on, tried both the new and old account creation flows Restarted Thunderbird multiple times between attempts

What works: My institutional Microsoft 365 account (@hnu.de) connects and syncs perfectly with identical IMAP/OAuth2 settings. The issue appears to be specific to personal Hotmail/Outlook.com accounts. Has anyone successfully connected a personal Hotmail account recently? Any help is appreciated.

Mail filters for custom headers like List-Unsubscribe, Authentication-Results or Received-SPF copying messages from IMAP accounts to Local Folders do not work on the Yahoo! IMAP account. For example:

filter1.jpg: name="_Inbox2: List-Unsubscribe <https" enabled="yes" type="17" action="Copy to folder" actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Inbox/_Inbox2" action="Stop execution" condition="OR (\"list-unsubscribe\",contains,<https)" (should copy messages from IMAP folders to _Inbox 2 on Local Folders)

filter2.jpg: name="Spam: Authentication-Results dkim=unknown | Received-SPF fail | X-Antivirus-Status Infected" enabled="yes" type="17" action="Copy to folder" actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Junk" action="Stop execution" condition="OR (\"authentication-results\",contains,dkim=unknown) OR (\"authentication-results\",contains,dkim=perm_fail) OR (\"authentication-results\",contains,dkim=none) OR (\"received-spf\",begins with,fail) OR (\"received-spf\",begins with,softfail) OR (\"received-spf\",begins with,none) OR (\"x-antivirus-status\",is,Infected)" (should copy messages from IMAP folders to _Inbox 2 on Local Folders)

But filter3.jpg works well: name="Inbox" enabled="yes" type="17" action="Copy to folder" actionValue="mailbox://nobody@Local%20Folders/Inbox" condition="OR (subject,doesn't contain,t[k\6iq69pd+}'cr)" (copies all remaining messages from IMAP folders to Inbox on Local Folders)

(the snippets above are fragments of the msgFilterRules.dat file)

Filters1 and 2 work well on other IMAP accouns, like for example wp.pl. So this is about Yahoo or something is corrupted. My question is, what wrong is here ? And by the way - how to create filter copying all messages from IMAP to Local Folders ? Is better way then filter3 looking for random string in the subject or somewhere else ? Thank you.
