This is the message I get when trying to send emails: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: pgbentley101@gmail.com recipient rejected. Please check the message recipient "pgbentley101@gmail.com" and try again."

Title. Thunderbird is a really cool client but it's pretty slow. I blame that on the thousands upon thousands of emails that my hotmail and gmail each hold. I don't necessarily want to delete these emails, but I have seldom a reason to have any email older than 2 months in my thunderbird client slowing and crashing the program whenever I want to combine inboxes.

To this end I went to "Synchronization & Storage" and told it to "Synchronize the most recent 2 months" but it didn't delete the huge cluster of older emails. The next option is to tell TB to delete these emails in the same menu but as I understand it that would also delete them in the server, which I don't want to do for posteriority.

What do I do?

I would like to re-import my non-active emails (those no longer in use). I check sometimes dates and addresses. I could keep for the past 20 years (or about). I have tried various instructions, but my machine says 'error'. I do have a number of backups, from different dates. Any help?

So Thunderbird updated and.... I'm not able to find where to search for something in my emails.... the search box is no longer. SAD - SAD - SAD. It makes it hard for dis ole lady to find things.

Also, the place to delete an email is now at the top above open emails and I've accidently closed some open emails --- SAD - SAD - SAD.

Dis ole lady is not happy with the latest upgrade.... it's sooooo confusing.

Hey everyone,

I've recently come into Thunderbird and I love using it - however, for my Gmail account, Thunderbird only downloads 24 messages every time. It started with 300, but it has decreased exponentially over the past few days.

I have about 30k emails so obviously I need the syncing to be faster than just 24 emails every minute. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Hi All, Greetings!!! For the past two days, I have got the error like "Sending of the message failed. The message could not not be sent because the connection to Outgoing Server (SMTP) timed out". So I have restared our router (Broadband Modem), and then tried to send the mail, but the result is same. Then I have tried using my mobile network (using hotspot method), this time mail was sent sucessfully. Please help me to solve the issues...

Thanks Karthik

Sometimes, when I try to save an attachment from Thunderbird, it saves a 0kb version of PDFs or a blank docx file. It also won't open them in the viewer. It doesn't appear to happen with all attachments, just some.

The attachments LOOK fine. If I forward them to another e-mail account, or even to MYSELF, they open. It's pretty clearly something in the actual process of saving or viewing the attachments.

while adding the yahoo.com account in thunderbird. It's picking up the AOL account not the yahoo.com account. Please let me know how to fix it

I'm very confused. I've been using Thunderbird as my email server for a few years. Recently, I stopped receiving emails December 12, 2023. I sent in a problem according to the help page that I found. I believe Mozilla is now the server for Thunderbird? I don't even know if that is accurate (part of my confusion). I followed prompts and confirmed my email address, apparently I now have a user name. I still can't send or receive emails. Can you help. I need step-by-step instructions, please.

Hi,

Tl;dr: how to convert pgp public keys to a csr and vice versa for the generated Certificate

Since K9 and Thunderbird are about to merge I wanted to point out here that i have difficulties using a S/MIME Certificate in the PKDS 12 format on my phone. The OpenKeychain app required just can't import it. I need to use a Certificate that got signed by my company. So even if I generate a PGP pubkic key with open keychain I don't get how i would turn that into a CSR that I could send to the it Department. Has anyone else had the same issue?

To receive emails, I'm asked for a password--I've entered every password I know that is connected to my email accounts and provider but I'm still asked for a password. Over and over it happens. Then, all of a sudden, it works.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

I signed up, donated, installed All of the outlook folder I have (about 200) are missing How do I get those to populate? I only see the very basic ones: inbox, sent, trash, snoozed

If you do not download the folders, how do I remove the permission I gave for you to access my email. I want to cancel if you do not import all of my existing folders and their contents.

Thanks.

I read the article, "Moving Thunderbird Data to a New Computer," but here's the problem. My profile folder is shown as C:\\appdata\roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxx.new but the Mail folder within that only has 119 MB. It contains 6 folders Local Folders, pop.earthlink.net, pop.earthlink-?.net, where ?=2 or 3 Most of that is in the INBOX file (no extension) of pop.earthlink.net, 61 MB That might sound like a lot, but it's a tiny fraction of the REAL main INBOX file, which is 3.42GB at D:\Eudora(Thunderbird)Mail\Mail\Local Folders My "REAL" I mean that this INBOX file has a file date of today, but the ones in the purported profile haven't been written into since last July. There are 3 email accounts in the installation and the "Server Settings" for each account specify that the LOCAL DIRECTORY is on D:\Eudora(Thunderbird)Mail\Mail\pop.earthlink??.net There's over 30GB of mail there! So the method given in "Moving Thunderbird..." cannot possibly work. It does not account for the fact that the account settings can redirect the location where mail is stored! So, it seems that after doing the "Moving Thunderbird..." process, I will have to 1. Create a new folder on the laptop LocalMail 2. Select all files and directories in D:\Eudora...(Mail)\Mail on the working installation and copy them to LocalMail on the laptop 3. Go into Account Settings/Server Settings on each account in the laptop and change the directory to C:\LocalMail\pop.earthlinkXX.net

Will this work?

I will certainly pare the directory tree of mail folders on the laptop to eliminate messages over 4 years old, most of which are in large archive folders.

When I need to delete emails enmass, I get a message that says I can't do that. I have "POP", it says. I get many emails and I review each one, but how can I fix this so that I can do a control A, etc. but Thunderbird reuses to delete them? I have to delete each one at a time.

I tried to read all the messages about THREADS but gave up trying to understand if there is a solution. I have always sorted all my email by DATE. Newest at the top. I use FOLDERS for sorting names or subjects I correspond with.

I want all my email in all my folders to sort by DATE. I missed seeing a lot of messages when THREADS became part of Thunderbird. Now I have to look all over the place if every new email I get is sent as a response to a previous email. Before all new email was at the top. Now it is everywhere within a folder and it takes me way too much time to keep looking for the latest emails.

Is there any way to just turn THREADS off without loosing the ability to see ALL emails.

Thanks.
