I need to send a libre office calc sheet by email using thunderbird to a colleague, so she can open it and edit it and send it back to me with her input. Until she is logged onto Thudnerbird, I have tried sending it to myself, but it arrives as a 'read only' document. I am unable to amend it. I have added my email address to Libre office Tools / options/ email and selected File/ Send / email as open document spreadsheet, but it still does not work.

What I am doing wrong here please? I'd be most grateful for any help. thank you

I think I have been scammmed I was sent an e-mail that appeared to be from cogeco.ca my provider stating that I needed to update otherwise I would no longer be able to get into my email account. I updated and now cannot get into my email I can get into everything else using firefox but not email, please help me. Thanks

I am receiving the following message: The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving message. Mail server.comcast.net responded: Message 9 expunged.

The message number does change each time I try to download my messages. Thanks for any help. Rob

I need to generate notices for the sender of all incoming email messages. I've been searching and trying now for several days without success. Is there a method to export all the messages for a folder to a readable file on a local disk so it can be read with a custom program? I'm hoping this is something that is available but if so I cannot find where. Thanks in advance for any ideas/pointers/instructions.

Suddenly getting error message window titled "Send Message Error" Reads" Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.peak.org failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again."

Checked with ISP and they have not blocked or many any changes and verified the SMTP settings are correct. Port 465 Connection Security SSL/TLS Authentication Method Normal Password.

I also at times received a Tbird window in the lower right of the screen that I couldn't using the snipping tool on to same. Says something about reducing the cache which I did to no avail, going from what I gather is a default 15 to 10.

Was sending messages without issue this morning but now can't get past the above message. Can send messages using the ISP's Zimbra webmail. They have no knowledge of Thunderbird and do not support it. I've read what I could find but didn't see anything replicating my issue.

My home page of emails only lists the headers and no longer shows the first few lines of the body of the message. No matter what I try - in view etc - I can't get it restored to what I used to have. Please help! Thanks

Thunderbird opens and is permanently trying to re-open a previous tab, with the oscillating dots. It will not respond while trying to do this. How can I close this tab?

I'm not sure where to put this post. Sorry.

I don't have a lot of internal hard drive space and want to have Thunderbird store emails to an external hard drive. So, I have a few questions about this.

Q1: How do I do this? I saw a procedure on a non-Mozilla site and it seemed questionable to me. So I thought it would be best to get the procedure from here

Q2: When I move the files (not copying them) will this impact the emails online (Gmail and Yahoo)? I don't want to accidentally delete them from the server

Q3: I am concerned about the following scenario: I tell Thunderbird to use the external drive. Thunderbird starts to download emails to the external drive. What happens to the emails that are on the internal drive? does Thunderbird move them to the external drive? Or will I have to move them manually? Can I safely move email folders on top of folders of the same name without messing anything up? (I'm concerned that Thunderbird would not know that a previously downloaded folder exists and would start to download it in the new spot. So when I move the folders from the old spot to the new spot, it would overlay the new copy and I don't want that to mess anything up)

I hope my questions make sense. I'm not always clear about how I ask things

I just updated Thunderbird. So, I'm running the latest version. I'm using Windows 10 (old computer)

Thank you MistWing

Had to wipe old Win 11 due to corruption. When setting up from scratch, I use 3 gmail accounts. However when I downloaded Tbird, trying to set up myt 3 gmail accounts, Gmail will NOT authorize Tbird. I have tried all advice that I've seen on forums and on YouTubes. None work. Contacting Gmail is impossible. Forums are not providing any solutions. Does anyone have a proven fix? I appreciate your help. Thank you.

I need someone in Tallahassee, Fl, to help me with my account. Is there anyone who understands and can help me with my existing account that needs straightening out. I would like personal assistance.

I have installed TB on a new device and want to set up my mail accounts with only the last 3 months mail for each one.

I understand the IMAP account settings for "Synchronization & Storage" & "Disk Space" where indeed you can set the download by size or time.

The problem is that those settings are only accessible once the mail account is set up.

The mail account set up itself initiates the download of all mail from the server the instant the account is set up which is then not adjustable until after that initial download is complete.

i.e. there appears to be no way to stop the entire mailbox from the server being downloaded.

Does anyone know a way to time limit that initial download or indeed prevent any initial download until the account settings can be used to do so?

New issue 2/10/24. TB (115.7.0) won't retrieve nor send emails thru Comcast. No settings or accts were changed. Went to an old restore point on Win 10, didn't help. Reset router, PC, uninstalled TB, reloaded TB, didn't help.

Reviewed past articles (most are old) tried some of those solutions, but no joy. Can't find an Xfinity (comcast) phone # to call their tech support, although I doubt if they're any help. Will blame it on TB no doubt.

Could really use some help here. Appreciate all you guys efforts!

About four days ago my email froze & asked for my password to activate imap.mail.yahoo.com. Everytime I enter my password it flags failed & asks for retry or new password. Finally I went directly to the yahoo mail site & logged in with the exact same password. If it works on yahoo mail but not on Thunderbird (anymore) I am at a loss. Can you help me? Thx, Doug

I'm trying to send a reply e-mail and I get this message. "Sending of the message failed. A certificate that is not yet valid was used to issue the server's certificate. The configuration related to smtp.gmail.commust be corrected." What must I do or what can I do?

One of my 3 emails is not downloading after not being on computer for 2 months.Other 2 work fine. On settings for that account the syn in the menu is not showing? Shows on the other two. On start up it downloaded messages but they don't show? Several had some malware that my antimalware took care of. Messaged downlload just fine on my phone for that account.

My Windows 10 desktop failed and went into a shop for repair. I have years of Thunderbird messages on it. The repair is complete and Thunderbird is working well again.

However, for several weeks I was only able to send and receive messages via my ISP Webmail. I would now like to move these messages into Thunderbird on my repaired desktop computer.

I cannot find an elegant way to do this. I know I send forward or resend all of these messages from Webmail to the main address on the desktop and then move them into the appropriate In or Out folders. But, I have downloaded all of these messages onto a flash drive and would like to use it to load the messages.

I would appreciate any advice about the best way to do this.

Thank you in advance.
