I have TB accounts setup for email from three different domains. Let's call them A.com, B.org, and C.net. All three domains are hosted at the same ISP - Ionos. Therefore all three have the same SMTP server for outgoing emails - smtp.ionos.com. But each has a different mailbox with different email address, so when I set up the accounts in TB I specify smtp.ionos.com as the email server along with the email address appropriate to that domain: ted@A.com, ted@B.org, and ted@C.net. The problem is that when I set the email address for one of these accounts TB changes the other two accounts to match it. So, for instance, the email address for all three accounts' SMTP server ends up being ted@A.com. Then, of course, each time I use a different account to send email I have to go back in and change the email address and reenter the PW for that account. How can I stop TB from changing all three accounts and get it to keep the appropriate email address with the right account?

Thunderbird is configured to access my several email accounts.

Returning to my PC after several hours away not using it, I see a pop-up requiring me to sign in to one of those accounts. The account is a gmail account which I use about once a week. Is this suspicious? Should I be concerned?

[I have searched the but have only been able to find inquiries about 'master password' or 'password every time used']

Thank you.

When I paste it into the /home/warren/.thunderbird/ab24nb0i.default-default/Mail/Local Folders/ nothing happens. In previous versions of thunderbird, I could do this and it worked. Please help me get my local folders and emails loaded into the new thunderbird.

I believe I have it 90% setup correctly, but I still cannot get any outlook email to it. The folder shows up as: name@location.com

    Inbox

During the setup when I clicked on "Re-test", a green notice "The following settings were found..." Then I clicked on "Done" and I get a yellow notice "Unable to log in..." I repeated the "Re-test" and still, the green notice came up, clicked on "Done" and the yellow notice came up, as if it is in a endless loop.

Error message image (screenshot) defines the issue, how do I fix this?


I was never prompt for a password. Which is why no email was loaded for viewing. I am using 0Auth2 for password access. Thunderbird version 128.7.0esr (64-bit) Ubuntu version 24.04.2 LTS

Is there a "current" correct setup procedure that works, that I can use?

Hello! And THANK YOU!! As you can gather from the subject line, I want to know if Thunderbird can be loaded automatically upon booting my computer?

My OS is Linux Mint 22.1 Cinnamon, Cinnamon Ver. 6.4.6 Thunderbird-Nebula 128.7, 64Bit for Linux Mint-001 - 1.0

I also have a master password enabled on my TB installation.

If not, maybe it could be added to a future release:)

I downloaded Thunderbird on my wife's computer and entered the information for four email accounts. The first three were for twc.com emails and the last was a bellsouth.net email account. The three twc email accounts connected and downloaded emails from the server. However, nothing happened with the Bellsouth account. When I tried to send out an email from this Bellsouth account, TB timed out after about a minute. The account server settings looked fine for both incoming and outgoing. I then tried the same Bellsouth settings on my laptop that also had an installation of Thunderbird. It successfully installed the same Bellsouth account and downloaded emails from the server without issue. So the credentials and settings I was using on my wife's computer were correct.

I went back to my wife's computer, trying to see what the problem was. I noticed in the passwords table, only the password for the Bellsouth inbound.att.net server appeared. The outbound.att.net entry was missing (both the inbound and outbound passwords were there in my laptop's TB password table). So, I uninstalled the bellsouth.net account and after restarting TB recreated my wife's Bellsouth account. Nothing changed and the password table still only listed the inbound.att.net password.

What would you suggest? Do I need to delete my wife's Bellsouth account from TB, exit TB, then uninstall TB and start over with a reinstall? From what I've read, it looks like the reinstalled TB will automatically find my wife's profile from the previous installation. Correct?

Thanks

Have been trying to sync my google caledar with Thunderbird on my win 11 PC. Have two calendar registrated on Thunderbird. On the standar "calendar" the other is under my Gmail acount. If I recive an invitation from outside I can't chose to which calendar I want to ad the invitation to. But if I send from my own E-mail (not Gmail) via Outlook on the PC. Thunderbird gives me the option to chose to which calendar to ad the invitation to. I have open the Google calendar and copied the "shared link" from Google and tried to ad that when creating a new calendar in Thunderbird. But when pasting the link into URL place I'm asked for "PSW". But when typing my Gmail PSW it just anwers " not working..." Obviusly I'm missing something. So please, can anyone explain all nesessary steps needed in order to make a possible sync between google calendar and Thunderbird.

Hello Mozilla Team,

I would like to request your assistance with an issue regarding complete themes on thunderbird.

The issue here is that I simply cannot install any of them, no matter which one. I've checked multiple and they all display "This add-on is not compatible with your version of Thunderbird. " I am running Thunderbird 128.7.0esr.


I am able to download the normal themes and other add-ons just fine, but I was really looking forward to complete themes.

My PC specs:

Ryzen 5 3600 GTX 1660 SUPER 6GB 16GB RAM SSD 500GB

Windows version 22H2 19045.4170


I hope you are able to assist me on fixing this issue.


Thanks.

I copied my Thunderbird profile from an old Win 10 computer whose motherboard was failing, and I managed to get the profile copied before I completely lost access. Now I no longer have access to it. I did not use Mozilla Backup. I downloaded Thunderbird on a new Win 11 computer. On the new computer, I set up Thunderbird. Then I deleted the new profile and pasted the old profile. Now Thunderbird will not open at all. It says, "Your Thunderbird profile can not be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible." I have uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, but I still get that message. How can I fix this? Thanks, Teresa

Problem: I can't move messages from one specific folder to others. This used to work.

Background: I have an old account, one for which the server died. I still have local copies of messages. I want to move them to a folder for a new server. I started moving these old messages.

How I Broke It: I abuse Thunderbird, I know this. I copied up to the new server 19,633 messages with no problem other than it was slow. Each message seemed to stop to look for the old server, I suppose to update the no longer existing server. But now it won't let me move any messages from that local folder. It looks like I broke that big local inbox. I can't seem to move the other 62,050 messages.

Environment: I currently have the server name set to something non-existent. I am running 128.6.0esr on Debian 13 on an AMD Framework 13.

Question: Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks,

It's a simple question, why can't you temporarily suspend the checking of an email account in Thunderbird? Searching on line there are plenty of people asking this question and the most common reply is "you can't". No reason, just the "you can't".

How hard can it be? It would basically require a simple check box on the "Account Settings -> Server Settings" page that asks "Temporarily suspend account?" and then some simple if()/else if()/else logic to check/not check. Probably should add an int/bool somewhere in one of the myriad config files to keep track and that's it.

According to another post regarding this topic, there are bugs on this that are now 14/15 years old but when I clicked on the links to check them out, the pages timed out. 14/15 years and no change/fix - seriously. I don't see how this, to someone familiar with the code base, would be more than a one day task, that includes doco, coding & testing. The fix offered in the above post was to copy all the stuff to a local folder - so what happens in a few weeks time when you want to check that account again - copy it all back? And then copy it back again a few weeks later, back a forth like a yo-yo. Not a well though out idea! If there is a valid reason, I'd like to hear it from someone who actually works for Mozilla/Thunderbird and knows coding rather than someone who just posts to this forum a lot and guesses.

Thunderbird is constantly popping up pages telling me all about freedom and donating. With such a slow turn around time on such a simple request, I'm probably going to skip donating.
