Have used a Onetel e-mail account for a number of years.

Occasionally, the outgoing server drops out so messages can't be sent only received.

When trying to reconfigure with correct port numbers etc it will never reconnect straight away and there is always a long process to get it up and running again which always seems different every time.

I can never manage this by myself and always have to get help in. This has baffled the best brains in the business so any help or advice gratefully received.

All of our "read" emails, --from all of our accounts -- have suddenly disappeared. All of the folders and subfolders are still present. We still get new email, but as soon as we read it, it's gone. We have had these same email accounts for years and have not made any changes. In Account Settings --> Synchronization & Storage --> "don't delete any messages" is checked. "Read" messages are still on our server.

So, 1) Why did this happen? 2) Is there any way we can get our messages back in Thunderbird?

For the last 6 months, my ip gets blocked from my website server about once a month. This causes me to locked out of my website until inmotion unblocks my ip. It works fine for about a month and then ip blocked again The conversation below was with my hosting company Inmotion hosting

4:35:48 PM) Andrea J.: Looking at the error, I can only see failed logins for alan@wood-r-us.com. (4:36:02 PM) Andrea J.: I have unblocked the IP for you. (4:36:16 PM) Andrea J.: So you should be able to access the server now. (4:36:54 PM) Alan Johnston: Yes my email is working again thanks. (4:36:59 PM) Andrea J.: My pleasure. Was there anything else I could assist with today? (4:37:20 PM) Alan Johnston: What can be done so this does not keep happening about every month (4:38:32 PM) Andrea J.: You will need to locate the device that is having the login issue, (4:39:14 PM) Alan Johnston: That is the only email related to this site and It is me. I use thunderbird and I stay logged in all the time (4:40:11 PM) Andrea J.: Mar 13 15:49:30 ecbiz320 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection closed: read(size=720) failed: Connection reset by peer (no auth attempts in 3 secs): user=<>, rip=172.58.1.223, lip=209.182.196.85, TLS: read(size=720) failed: Connection reset by peer, TLSv1.2 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256/256 bits) Mar 13 15:49:31 ecbiz320 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection closed (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=172.58.1.223, lip=209.182.196.85, TLS handshaking: Connection closed Mar 13 15:49:31 ecbiz320 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Too many invalid commands (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=172.58.1.223, lip=209.182.196.85 Mar 13 15:49:31 ecbiz320 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection closed (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=172.58.1.223, lip=209.182.196.85 Mar 13 15:49:31 ecbiz320 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection closed (no auth attempts in 0 secs): user=<>, rip=172.58.1.223, lip=209.182.196.85, TLS: Connection closed, TLSv1.2 with cipher ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384 (256/256 bits) Mar 13 15:49:32 ecbiz320 dovecot: imap-login: Disconnected: Connection closed (no auth attempts in 1 secs): user=<>, rip=172.58.1.223, lip=209.182.196.85, TLS handshaking: Connection closed (4:40:37 PM) Andrea J.: Looking at the server, the logs shows connection errors. (4:40:56 PM) Andrea J.: You may need to look into ThunderBird to see if there is an update that is needed. (4:41:17 PM) Andrea J.: If your IP is repeatedly being blocked, there is an issue with the mail client's connection.

My emails have large a lapse in time before the downloading catches up. For example right now my last email showing says 6:41 PM when it is actually 9:44 PM. This is costing me sales on items I have listed on the marketplace because I have no current notification via emails. Please help.

Hi there,

My grandmother on this account keeps receiving a enter primary password alert on her Thunderbird / Bigpond account. We've tried everything and when following the prompts to reset (tools > developer tools > etc) it won't come up with the evaluate button or reset button. We've tried the online sources but no success and she can't access her emails on her desktop. Please let me know what we can do !

Previously, for years, selecting and deleting groups of emails took only seconds. For sometime now, the more emails selected to delete as a group causes the amount of time to do so to become longer and longer. Minutes go by. It feels like instead of dealing with all of them at once, it's deleting one at a time, but that's just a guess. What can I do to get back to where it used to be? Thank you.

I've got a Fastmail account, and have set up CardDav according to Fastmail's guide to get set up with Thunderbird.

Once my contacts synced, I was unable to see my contact lists in the Thunderbird contacts sidebar, nor can I add a list (the button is greyed out). Is this a known issue? Is it Fastmail specific, or a CardDav thing?

Running macOS 14.3, Thunderbird 115.9.0

I am going crazy. This message keeps popping up every time I turn on my Thunderbird email program on my Windows 10 laptop! Please see the attached file. I shows you the popup and what happens when I click on 'Next'. I 'x' it off, and a few seconds later it pops up again. The only way to stop it from doing so is to turn off my Thunerbird program. I like to keep it on so I know when I get emails. PLEASE help me get rid of this. Thanks so much.

Everytime I open thunderbird it gives me this message 3 or 4 times: Some folders (e.g. 'All Mail on ebailey@phillipslaw.net') cannot be compacted because there is not enough free disk space. Please delete some files and try again. I have deleted thousands of emails and it still sends this message

for last 3 days Thunderbird has become very slow , after clicking on a message it will take very long tie to read. when I select a message it remains unread. Typing is also very slow .

When I start T'bird in normal mode, I get what you see in picture #1. Notice the custom menu bar at the top. I can still receive emails into the Inbox (but can't see or access them), and I can write an email, access the Address Book, Calendar, etc.

When I then start in Safe mode, with Shift key down, I get what you see in Picture #2. Notice that the custom menu bar at the top is gone. I have to recreate it every time I shut down and restart T'bird. That is unacceptable.

Please advise what I should do to correct this situation. If I can't, then I'm through with Thunderbird (after some 15+ years).

Many thanks, Robert Hawkins

Our organization uses GoDaddy which worked fine with Thunderbird until GoDaddy migrated to Microsoft Exchange 365/Outlook. According to GoDaddy, Microsoft does not allow any of the authentication protocols offered by Thunderbird for SMTP outgoing messages.

Thunderbird has helpfully added a Microsoft 365 option for SMTP settings in the latest update, but when you click that it says that you have to get a third-party paid app called OWL to make it work.

My question to Thunderbird: is this going to be the only answer to this problem or is it being worked on? Background is that the organization I work with has the GoDaddy Account so I have no control over that choice. I've used Thunderbird to keep my email out of the clutches of Microsoft Outlook and would like that to continue. I've also been donating to Thunderbird for years so I'm not opposed to paying. I just don't think I should have to use a 3rd party app for basic functionality.

Since the latest update, Thunderbird Beta won't load all the way on the first try. It will "attempt" to start, but hangs up. It will start if I, at that point, go to the task manager and end the Thunderbird that has loaded in "Background tasks" and then try to start it again. I wish I could say that this happens every time, but it isn't consistent - just "usually."

Seems that TBird uses ever more internet accesses and therefore I get this error 10+ times a day especially when I open the inboxes...didnt do this last year, so what changed in the code and please explain the benefit of the change? The internet connection up & down is as its ever been over the last 2yrs. Thank you

I have two contacts with .wales email addresses, and they receive emails from other people - but when I try to reply to them through Thunderbird the email doesn't even get as far as being sent... I attach the error message I get

Hello, After update Thunderbird quick filter became very very slow.

If you type in quick filter field two words. At the beginning is being shown random results not connected with typed in words. Then in 30 seconds or later are being loaded correct results. Not possible to use like this. It's local search on normal PC (with CPU AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G, 24GB RAM) filtering must to work fast. Could you fix that issue?

Thank you

Supernova has been named correctly. So far it has "exploded" all over. Once again I can not click on an email link and have it open in Firefox. (1) Quick filter doesn't seem to work very well any more. It might give me what I am looking for, but when I close it quick filter, it starts putting back messages very slowly one at a time for minutes. (3) I am getting fairly constant messages that it can't write to disk because the disk is full or it doesn't have permissions (both of which are wrong). (4) I have a sub-folder that contains 2022 emails and it has started listing those emails as part of the current inbox and no longer shows them as part of the 2022 sub-folder. (5) And finally it has crashed several time.

This all started when I let the update for Supernova install and it just keeps getting worse. Any suggestions?
