Hi, I have three email adresses installed on Thunderbird. All have Junk folders I see on screen. But while two addresses sow junk files one is all the time empty. But this address on mail app on iPadAir displays yhe lot od junk messages in the same time. All settings for the three adresses on Thunderbird are he same. My PC is Win 11 64-bit Desktop HP Pavilion. Icon for bad junk folder is a little bit different than the icons 1 Version of Thunderbird is 28.6.0esr (64-bit)

I deleted an email address and it does not show in gmail on the web, but every time I open Thunderbird I get a window saying that the deleted email account is requesting my username and password. How can I stop this? get a window with the message

Wir können wir die Verschlüsselung einer Nachricht aktivieren? Diese ist bei uns durchgestrichen und lässt sich nicht auswählen. Da wir oftmals Befunde verschicken müssen und den Datenschutz nicht verletzten wollen, würde wir gerne die Option der verschlüsselten Nachricht nutzen wollen. Bitte um Hilfe diesbezüglich, danke.

I have set a Primary Password in Thunderbird, but when it requests it, pressing cancel for some times bypass the request and I can login without any problem

I'm on Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon

Thunderbird worked fine until a few hours ago when, all of sudden, my outlook accounts popped up for re-authentication. The problem is the authentication page is now empty/blank. I checked the forums and ensured all the settings were okay (it was working anyway). This is for my personal email accounts, not company's.

Any help is appreciated.

Thundermail ask for donations. But why should I give full name, mail address. full address: street, number city ... just to donate. What does Mozilla do with all this?

Occasionally some of my contacts said they were not receiving my emails. Therefore I sent an email to myself and it did not arrive. When I checked my sent box my email was there but the sent address consisted of the first part of my own address, followed by a completely different address, which I traced to a Spanish email provider: @d4.com.mx

It looks like my sent emails are sometimes being re-directed to someone else's address. How can this happen and more important how can it be stopped?

Junk button on main page is grayed out. I right click on junk emails and use the button at the top of the menu to mark them as junk but I keep getting mail from the same senders.

I tried to open settings because I need to change account passwords. As soon as I open settings Thunderbird crashes after showing the settings page for half a second. Latest Thunderbird version under latest windows 11 version. Anyone else has this problem? Restarting the PC (miracle cure for problems under windows) did not solve the problem. Anyone else has this? Anyone knows a solution?

I cannot access my accounts passwords, so the problem is rather worrisome and urgent.

Spammers may know how to send messages using my secure email server. Is there any way that Thunderbird can help me by filtering my OUTGOING (SMTP) messages to make sure they include a specific code phrase? If they don't include the phrase, they should not be sent, and I should be informed that this misuse of my server is happening.

A few days ago my Thunderbird client was downloading messages. I could not see the email that was to be downloaded next. However, a notice appeared, apparently from a hacker that was ending the next email. It was asking me to let it override some information that allowed me to get messages. Then a popup from Thunderbird displayed. It said no decent public site would ask to override anything. So I clicked CANCEL. This happened repeatedly. I kept clicking CANCEL. But no emails downloaded, only the message. Then I got help from the Dell tech support that I paid for when buying the computer. It has always been very effective fixing problems, even if they were not with the computer itself. They could not fix the problem. I can see and answer my emails on Primus webmail. Now. no more emails download in the Thunderbird client after. So apparently some setting has been overridden. I got in touch with Primus, and they told me what to reset the port to, but nothing has been downloaded. I am able to send emails from the Thunderbird client. They told me that the server connection (IMAP) was the same port for send and receive. When I click Get Messages in the Thunderbird client, it says something like Checking server availability. But no new emails download. I have read this from Thunderbird:

"To manually configure an account, you will need to have the following details which can be supplied by your email provider. incoming mail server and port (for example, "pop.example.com" and port 110 or "imap.example.com" and port 143) outgoing mail server and port (for example, "smtp.example.com" and port 25) security setting for the connection with the server (for example, "STARTTLS" or "SSL/TLS" and whether or not to use secure authentication) First, open the Account Settings: In the Thunderbird menu bar, click the ToolsEdit menu and select Account Settings, or click the Application menu button and select OptionsPreferences and Account Settings from the sub-menu." I have tried all this to no avail.

What can I do to get email to download to the Thunderbird client? Can I uninstall the Thunderbird and reinstall without disturbing my Webmail? I would be happy for any help you can give me! Thanks!

I ask a person to send me a signed email so that i can send them an encrypted email. How is this process supposed to work in thunderbird? I receive a signed email, what next? Clearly, thunderbird sees the signature but does not add the public key to the contact. This is in contradiction with [page] that states: The standard way of distributing a person's certificate is to send a digitally signed email. If you have received a signed email from your correspondent, click the email to view it. If Thunderbird considers the email's signature and the sender's certificate valid, it will automatically be imported and available when you attempt to encrypt an email to that correspondent using the S/MIME technology. If you don't have a signed email from your correspondent yet, you could ask them to send a digitally signed email to you.

Note that certificates issued by CAs may have a short validity period. Certificates are no longer usable after the validity period has expired. In that case your correspondent will have to obtain a new certificate. Once that happened they will be able to send you a new digitally signed email with a valid certificate.

Organizations that operate an LDAP server may configure their server to store S/MIME certificates. If an LDAP server is configured, Thunderbird may automatically query the LDAP server if it needs to obtain a S/MIME certificate.

To review the list of S/MIME certificates that you already have, you can use Thunderbird's Certificate Manager.

The certificate shows that it is valid, yet, clicking reply gives "key issues" which shows no key available. Similarly, if I sign an email with pgp key and send it, thunderbird sees that it is signed but tells me that i need to obtain public pgp key. So it seems that signatures and encryption are completely unusable.

Hi,

I've been using Thunderbird for years now for various email accounts that I mostly used to information I would consider public. Thus while I would take simple and obvious precautions, I wasn't overly concerned with security.

Now, I'm connecting Thunderbird to my personal email accounts, including my ProtonMail account that I do use for private information. I'm happy with the ProtonBridge handles encryption and decryption when you send and receive emails but as I understand it, once on the device, all of your emails are just stored in plain text.

Yes you can put a Password on Thunderbird but that wouldn't deter anyone with any motive. I'm aware many people site FDE as a solution to this problem and while it's part of a solution, I would like an additional layer of security. I would like everything inside of '/home/user/.thunderbird' encrypted at rest. Ideally the Master Password would decrypt it but it's not the end of the world if it's a little more laborious.

From everything I've seen so far, unless I send and receive all of my emails with PGP, my emails will be stored plain text on my PC. Perhaps installing Thunderbird inside a veracrypt volume is the only option?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thunderbird wants verificationfrom gmail but there is no where i can click locked in page have to ctrl>alt>delete to get out. No where to click on continue. I think the page is too big and aI cant see the next or accept or any other button. Can't use thunderbird to send or to see address or anything else

Thanks for your help

I am getting an annoying popup stating that Dan.Hromada@citizensforfreespeech.org is asking for my Google password....this email account is not associated at all with Google or Gmail. It's hosted on the organization's server. Please see the screenshot of the pop-up.

Thank you, Dan Hromada
