When i attempt to retrieve my email I get the following message at the top of my screen, "The certificate for POP3.pangia.biz expired of 8/13/26. How do I renew it? My email address is jahoagy@signalpeak.net. Thank you John Hoagland.

TB suddenly moves messages from inbox to trash automatically without any interaction. Search through the forrum shows that it has been asked for already, see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1588804, similar postings can also be found with you search engine.

As described in other postings, the messages are moved from Inbox to trash. When moving them back manually from trash to inbox, they are moved to trash again immediately.

• it happens for the default account only,
• there're no filters at all in TB,
• junk detection is disabled,
• Settings->General Storage is all disabled,
• (account)->Settings->Server Settings has checked "move deleted messages to trash",
• (account)->Settings->Storage is all disabled,
• Inbox->Properties "Repair folder" does not help,
• Inbox->Properties "rules is set to "use account settings" (and greyd out "do not delete messages"),
• exactly same behaviour when starting TB in save mode,
• manually deleting all *.msf files (for inbox) does not help,
• manually deleting xulstore.json does not help,

Additional notes, which are not related to the problem, IMHO:

• IMAP on port 993,
• no other clients anywhere are connected to that account,
• TB configured for more than 10 accounts, more than 500 folders and sub-folders,
• host with > 16GB RAM, TB uses 3GB virt,
• problem observerd in older TB also, at least 13x.x

I'd be happy to debug/trace the problem if someone can give me detailled insructions how to start TB with debugging. Please feel free to ask for about:config settings as they are non-ambiguous and language independent ;-)

Thanks.

I have thunderbird installed on my PC, and my main email account is a gmail account. I download from gmail using POP protocol (SSL/TLS connection security, OAuth2 authentication). I have been using these settings for a long time (15 years?).

This afternoon, thunderbird stopped downloading my messages. No error messages : just "no new messages to download".

I can see (by logging directly into my gmail account using my browser) that there are new messages on the server. They're not spam or junk, and they're not getting downloaded into my (local) spam folder. They're not getting downloaded at all.

I still have room on the google server (it's about 87% full), and room on the hard drive on my computer (about 3 GB).

When choosing to edit a sent message as a 'new' message, placing the cursor at the beginning of the message and pressing <Enter> does not advance the text.

It used to.

Placing the cursor at any other location within the message WILL advance the text with <Enter>.

I CAN add text by typing, but the <Enter> key does nothing.

The intent of placing the cursor at the beginning of the message is to add a line to the previously sent email.

The chosen option of 'edit as new message' should work with <Enter> regardless of where the cursor is positioned.

Any chance of this being addressed?

Thanks.

I am using ThunderBird 153.0 ESR for Linux Mint mint-001 - 1.0

How can one setup a sending email server with same address and username but different passwords?

When trying to setup 2 different accounts i find a thunderbird limitation using API email password which have same smtp server address and username and only differs in password.

Is there a workaround?

Hi!

I have configured a EWS email account that requires manual configuration (I need to pass the override Office365 settings with application ID, tenand ID,...). When I select manual config I can configure the EWS server settings OK and the receiving part works OK. The problem is the outgoing server is not created OK (it is imap with password setup). I need to use the same EWS to send the email, imap is not allowed in the account. And I cannot configure the account to use EWS as the outgoing server. The outgoing server cannot be EWS and I need to setup one. So I'm in a loop.

For what I have read, thunderbird can send the email using EWS (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-exchange), but my feeling is that using manual setup (which I need to do to configure this account) breaks something internally and the outgoing is separated from the EWS receiving part. And I cannot configure back to use the internal EWS configuration in the receiving server part.

Can I do something to send emails using the same EWS configuration? What does the automatic setup to use the EWS configuration? Is there any bug for this situation?

Thanks in advance!

Thunderbird 1 of 7 working Spectrum email accounts stopped retrieving email. Tried to setup the account on new computer and it will to connect to Spectrum's mail server. Able to setup the other 6 on new install Tried under windows and Linux same problem.

I have an email account that was establish 30 years ago that suddenly stop working in Thunderbird but it is accessible through Spectrum's web server.

Spectrum wants me to verify Thunderbird is not the problem. Sounds like passing the buck to me.

I need some help with this one.

I have just installed Thunderbird on a replacement computer (running Linux Mint). The version I have is 140.7.1esr. I use a POP Gmail account. For a change it installed and connected seamlessly, but I cannot persuade it to download anything other than the messages in my Inbox. I have right clicked as recommended on my Gmail address, but see no 'Subscribe' to select. What am I doing wrong?

Yesterday I found that I can't send mail using Yahoo.ca. I was able to get my wife's computer working by sending an email. A message came on the browser and I logged in to Yahoo. She can now send email. When I tried the same thing on my computer, I get a message "No apps available". I have spent hours trying and can't get around the message. The simplest test is as follows:

• create a new profile, and open the new profile
• enter my name and email address, and continue
• I get a message "Configuration found in Mozilla ISPDB." It uses SSL/TLS and Oauth2
• I hit next. Yahoo opens a page in my browser to log in. I enter the password and the security code sent by text
• The browser sends a message to allow an app. When I allow it the message "No apps available" appears as shown.

The release notes on Thunderbird are Version 153.0 | Released July 21, 2026 For now, I can use a second account on gmx.com to send mail, but prefer to use Yahoo when it works. Any suggestions?

Linux Mint 22.3, Cinnamon Thunderbird 153.0 esr

Consistently Reproducible.

I'm running Thundebird for Linux Mint mint-001 - 1.0 (140.12.1esr 64-bit) on Linux Mint Mate v22.3

Thunderbird has one account

I have set up a simple filter. It is the only filter set up. The test is 'from matches quora'. It is set to run manually and on download, It is enabled.

The filter works well when run manually but not on download.

What it is missing, or what do I check next please? TIA

I have an hotmail.com account with no problems whatsoever while logging into Apple Mail, G-Mail etc. but when it comes to Thunderbird it does not let me login. I tried to login first to outlook itself, changing the servers ports etc. but nothing works.

For refrence my current server settings are: Incoming (IMAP): Server: outlook.office365.com Port: 993 Security SSL/TSL and OAuth2

Outgoing (SMTP): Server: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Security: STARTTLS with OAuth2

Locked out of my emails since Feb 26 2026: [redacted] @hotmail.com [redacted] @hotmail.com [redacted] @hotmail.com

Hello, I use Thunderbird to manage several email accounts, one on them is not active anymore but I still want to be able to access the emails stored in my thunderbird directory tree, so I keep it active. And the fact is that every day this account tries to access a remote server that does not exists anymore to retrieve email that can not be retrieve, and every day I am asked for a password that cannot work. But the fact is that I did deactivate all options to read remote emails for this account, so that behavior is odd and I am not able to find a way around it. Any idea what to do not to be bother anymore ?

Thanks in advance for your help :-)

At the beginning I see some message disappear (moved from inbox to the folder but never show in the folder) then following some advises I made a Repair Folder, then all messages in the folder disappear.

As you can see, on the gmail picture there is 114 emails in this folder, in the Thunderbird picture it count only 7 and display none.

Please any one have a solution ?

Hi, a long-time Thunderbird user here using 140.11.1esr (64-bit) Thunderbird for Linux Mintmint-001 - 1.0 with e-mail set up as IMAP for a hotmail.com e-mail.

I'm having (and always have tbh) had problems with saving only one copy of "Sent" e-mails and it's driving me scatty. In "Thunderbird setup" for my hotmail.com account, I always de-select "When sending messages, automatically Place a copy in "Sent" folder" as I know my Hotmail account does that and then Thunderbird will pick that up to store locally as part of the IMAP syncing. I get, as expected, only one "Saved" copy which is fine.

Then, for no apparent reason, I suddenly start to get duplicates even though the "de-select" is still there in Thunderbird setup for the account. The cure seems to be to select it as if I want 2 copies and send myself a test e-mail, then de-select it again so I only get one at which point I only get one copy again. It then works fine for weeks (or months!!!) then, bang, 2 copies start appearing again with nothing (seemingly) changed.

I also have a gmail.com account set up as IMAP which never changes - I've always only ever got one "Sent" copy as expected. Clearly, this points to some sort of weird Thunderbird/Hotmail config issue which is odd as the "mechanics" of Thunderbirds internal handling of copies should not be affected by the remote e-mail and yet the issue is with hotmail.com but never with gmail.com accounts. As a Comms/Radar engineer it's really got me!

Anyone else seen this and, if so, are you able to tell me what's up? What am I doing wrong? It's very odd. Cheers!

People are not receiving my emails. I am receiving other peoples emails. I am using Linux Mint 22 and Thunderbird 140.11.1esr. If I send an email and look in the sent folder, it shows that it has been sent. If I log into my Bell Webmail portal and check the sent folder there, it shows that the email has been sent. But no one gets my emails. If I send an email from my Bell Webmail portal, people receive that email. I have re-installed Thunderbird and allowed Thunderbird to autofil the incoming and outgoing server information after entering my user name and password. No change. I have contacted Bell my internet provider and they have told me that because I can send from the Webmail portal and not from my Desktop, it is a Thunderbird problem. It seems that this problem may have start just after Thunderbird received an update about 2-4 weeks ago. It has been around a month since the last time I had a back and forth email exchange. Searching the forum has been difficult to find an issue similar to mine. Any help would be appreciated. Robert

My Yahoo account on Thunderbird sees no email found.

My eMail Providers: Yahoo, AOL, Gmail.

AOL and Gmail(2 accounts) work fine. Only Yahoo doesn't respond. As you can see in the attached screen shot, it shows a "No Messages Found" message.

I have tried everything listed in the support page.

I'm sure it is something simple but I can't see it.

My email provider provides "Disposable Email Addresses" - aliases which still direct mail to my inbox but don't expose my primary email to any web sites etc. I provide them to. It's very handy for registering for mailing lists, product vendors etc. since if one gets leaked, it's no big deal. I can drop the email again, but at least I know who was responsible for leaking it (I still get spam to my old Myspace account). My problem is that I'll occasionally have a need to reply such an email, and by default my From: address is my primary email address, not the one in the To: header. This is confusing to the recipient (since it's from some unknown email) and also exposes my email unintentionally. Is there any way to configure Thunderbird to always reply using the To: address? If there are multiple To: or CC: addresses, it could perhaps be specified with a wildcard matching any of my aliases. I can do it with Identities, I know, but I have to set that up before replying and I frequently forget.
