Delay moving messages to and from 4 certain mailboxes (win10, v152)

It's very odd. Normally moving an email, say from the Inbox to the relevant year's archive, takes "no time at all".

Which is true for all the mailboxes shown on the attached screenshot, EXCEPT for the four at the bottom. Moving even one message from Inbox to Yiddish can take ten seconds or longer (with the dreaded "Not Responding" occasionally). Moving something in the opposite direction is also screwy, only from those four.

I had thought that it was because they're rather large. This first started when there were just Yiddish and MSW, and I split off most of the earlier years into the archives shown. To no avail.

It's only an annoyance, but I'm puzzled about how such a thing could happen.

Also very slow tagging or untagging a message just in those mailboxes.

I've been using Thunderbird on Windows 10 since last year sometime. Currently I'm on version 151.0.1.

I've 4 x mailboxes here and since yesterday, 3 of them show me an unusual message when checking for emails. I tried attaching a screenshot but although the screenshot uploaded, I couldn't find a way to insert it here. But the message says Unable to write the email to the mailbox and asks me to check if I've write privileges (which I have) and to cheek the available disk space.(currently 101GB free).

The message is happening 2 or 3 times each day and lasts for about half an hour, then everything works fine again. Has anyone else seen this??

I use IMAP to grab my mail, if that's important.

In the last couple of days, my normal method of deleting messages from my Inbox, right-clicking on the message and selecting the trash can icon, has stopped working: the message disappears for a moment, then reappears. I can delete it by dragging it to the Trash folder in the folders pane on the left.

I've followed the instructions given in several postings here, including deleting the Trash and trash.msf files, doing that and then creating an empty txt file called Trash (no .txt), and using Repair Folder.

It just now occurred to me to disconnect from the Internet and try to delete a message. It worked fine?!

A few days ago I sent emails and did not see the usual "Saving to Sent (IMAP)". Instead it said something like saving to Sent folder. That's fine, but the emails didn't appear in my Thunderbird Sent folders. I downloaded Thunderbird to see if my version was obsolete. Still no emails in Sent folder. The internet said I could delete my Sent folder, and Thunderbird would re-establish Sent folder. It did not. I can still see my old emails in my Local Thunderbird sent mail, so I deleted about 100 old emails in case the folder was too full. Still, the new emails I was sending did not appear. I checked with a few recipient people and they told me the email go to them. I have tried all the "solutions" I can find. What else can I do to see copies of my outgoing emails.?

Cannot send emails from Thunderbird to a Yahoo server. Receiving emails from this server is working. There are several options for configuring the connection to this SMTP server. Server name, port number, user name, authentication method (ie OAuth2), connection security (using SSL/TLS). There is also a password required. When I try to send a message to this server, I get a login failure with options to reset my password. Since I had a working configuration, I retrieved the password from that and tried to reset it. That did not fix this problem. I am not sure if this is a sign in issue or a missmatch of the configuration parameters. I have tried several combinations of those with no success. This server is on a Yahoo machine that reserves ports for AT&T service. If I use the Yahoo interface for email, that will work, possibly because it is going into different ports on the Yahoo machine or my sign on with them is easier to establish. I prefer the Mozilla email handler to the Yahoo/AT&T handler, so I hope I can get it working again.

Hello,

I hope everyone here is doing well.

I am trying to change from Gmail to Yahoo.

I am using Thunderbird to migrate my Gmail account's emails to my new Yahoo account.

My Gmail account has thousands of messages, including numerous photos and other attachments.

My laptop doesn't have space for the app and everything necessary for the migration.

How can I use the Android app on my phone to accomplish this instead?

Please let me know as soon as possible.

Thank you so much!

Thunderbird hangs due to POP3 server error right at the start. "An error occurred with the pop3 mail server. Unable to write to the mailbox""

Was on version 115, had this problem. Updated to version 155, same problem. One of the email accounts I set up on Thunderbird is redacted1@lake48.net, registered with 123-Reg. However, this is a forwarding address and has no email server, which is why I am getting the error now.

Messages addressed to redacted1@lake48.net are forwarded to redacted2@lake48.net, which does have a server, My system was to download from there and use a rule to divert the incoming message to my redacted1@lake48.net Inbox. This has worked OK until now. Thunderbird gives me this error right at the start and then does not respond, so I cannot get in to investigate account settings, and cannot access emails in other accounts such as gmail. 123-Reg has today changed its system, assuring me I don't need to change anything. Clearly I do, but I can't get in to change it.

What should I do to resolve this? I have no other access to my emails.

Hello,

Recently, the manual message check feature has stopped working, whether I use the “Get Messages” button or the menu.

When this feature was still working, I could see the progress of the message retrieval from the server in the status bar; now nothing happens (no display in the status bar and no messages are retrieved).

I should note that this isn’t a connection issue, since new messages are successfully retrieved during periodic checks or when Thunderbird starts up.

Has anyone else encountered this problem?


Thanks!

hi, snap thunderbird 155.0-1 ubuntu 24.04 keeps asking for passwords of all email accounts after upgrading thunderbird. all passwords are correct and they were not changed. the issue started today after thunderbird was upgraded to 155.0-1. this new version seems to have touched on oauth: https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/155.0/releasenotes/

What’s New

- S/MIME popup shows signature, digest, encryption algorithms and key sizes

- Default address book for manually added contacts configurable with mail.addr_book.add_item_default_uri

- Enterprise policy DisableQRExport can disable QR export

- OAuth add-ons can override built-in settings for selected domains and hostnames

- Manual account config streamlined with Exchange, Graph, and custom OAuth support

- Custom OAuth support for IMAP and SMTP servers

- PKCE and external browser fields added to custom OAuth settings

- Enterprise policy DisableExperimentalFeatures for disabling experimental features

any idea how to fix this? thanks

"Thunderbird can't connect to the server" Part 2

Recently I posted about this problem here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1580858 In sum, I was having problems both in downloading messages from the Spectrum server and also with sending messages. I've attached screenshots of the error messages.

Matt and David kindly posted some helpful responses. The problem then seemed to spontaneously solve itself and I breathed a sigh of relief. Then a few days later it re-appeared.

This time it's not quite as bad in that I'll get the error messages but then usually a few minutes later I can download the messages or send an email. But it's still a real problem.

I called Spectrum again and this time the rep was adamant that if I can still use the Spectrum webmail feature (and I can), then it's not a Spectrum issue.

Last time Matt asked about my antivirus. I use Windows Defender (and occasionally do a manual scan with Malwarebytes free version), so if I understood him right, I should be OK as far as antivirus interference.

Matt also suggested I set TB so that I download messages at startup and every 15 minutes. I was set to every 10 minutes so I changed it to 15.

Matt said for me to check the Activity Manager. I've attached a screenshot of what that showed a few minutes ago. But I should note that this was after an error message displayed but my email downloaded anyway.

Finally, Matt said I should check the Error Console (Control + Shift +J). I've attached a screenshot of that. He also said I should use the trash can to clear it, so I did. He then said to press Shift + F5 to attempt to get my messages. But on my laptop, F5 just dims the display so no dice on that. But I have a second laptop and F5 is "neutral" on that one so I tried it there. I didn't get any new error message.

However, one of the screwy things is that sometimes I get all my messages as normal, but only after the "Can't connect to the server" message displays. And that's what happened with my second laptop above.

I hope I've provided better info. this time. And I hope you gents can help me with this mess.

Thanks,

Andrew

Some good E-mails got moved into junk, so I right-clicked them and marked them as "not junk." Seconds later, they reappeared in the Junk folder.

Also, Thunderbird continues to classify messages from the same sender and even the same thread as junk. I read the doc here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-junk-spam-messages#w_tell-thunderbird-what-is-not-junk

and the behavior is not consistent with what's described, or what anyone would expect.

Is this a known bug?

Hello - I've been using Thunderbird email for several years now. No issues until recently, and I'm trying to determine if it is a server issue (Charter/Spectrum) or my Thunderbird email program (my husband is having the same issues on his computer). We've made no changes with settings; we did take advantage of a recent Thunderbird update that we downloaded about a month ago. Anyhow, we are having problems downloading/opening email, in addition to sending. Error messages include "Login to server mobile.charter.net with username cinmazz@charter.net failed", and "Server mobile.charter.net has disconnected. The server may have gone down or there may be a network problem." I contacted Spectrum about a week ago - they initially said it was a problem with their email app, and they were working on it. It began working properly for a day, then stopped. I contacted them again, and they then indicated no problem at their end, but they would look at the issue again and resolve by 9/7. It appears it might be a server issue but want to make sure it is not with my email program. Any suggestions for this not very tech savvy person will be helpful - thank you!

I have many years and email accounts on my old WIN10 workstation running all POP installations.

I have a new workstation with WIN11. Is it possible to install TB on my new workstation with my accounts installed as IMAP and keep the same folder configuration? I have many email folders and filters setup on the old workstation installation.

I would appreciate any installation recommendations. I've been using TB for years and would like to keep as much of the current configuration as possible.
