I can not receive or send emails with my thunderbird account. It keeps saying that the connection to pop.centurytel.net was reset. Can you help me get my email back please?

Latest version on W10 desktop machine.

1. Setting to open message in a new window does not work. Insists on making a new tab instead.

2. When Thunderbird window is active, kills attempts to use desktop icons for other programs.

3. Cannot minimize Thunderbird via taskbar. Have to hit minimize(-) from window.

Can any of these be remedied?

Since update my emails are all in dark mode, I used the button to turn off in email read, but cant turn it off in email reply, means I cant read what the person has said because the majority of people write emails in normal black on white. how do I get it back to normal? Thanks in advance.

I'm on Thunderbird 140.3.0esr on Fedora 41 Cinnamon

Yesterday and today when starting Thunderbird, message at bottom of page: connected to server(inbound.att.net) Never changes to "checking for new messages" or "downloading messages" so I am unable to get mail. Close and restart does not help. Seems to be be stuck.

On a different computer with the same accounts, functions normally.

I have Firefox set to reopen the previous session whenever the browser is launched. I normally have multiple windows open; I have different tabs in different windows so as to organize them and make it easier to access a particular tab / type of content. I can mouseover on the toolbar and select a tab via preview.

Until recently, whenever Firefox relaunched my previous session, it kept the arrangement of the windows intact (from right to left in the preview). After a recent update, I assume, Firefox is now no keeps them in the same arrangement; aside from my first window, all the others now randomly (or so it seems to me) rearrange themselves whenever the browser launches.

I can reorder them by selectively closing and reopening windows, but it's getting tedious, and the arrangement only lasts for the current session. Once I shut down and restart my computer the windows are, once again, rearranged to no apparent rhyme or reason.

This is getting really frustrating.

In version 143 there is no rollup window option that allows a linux system to roll the window up out of the way. The icon is a caret located in the top right corner of the window.

I use the same e-mail address on my desktop and my Samsung android phone. I was told to change my desktop e-mail from POP3 to IMAP which I did and then told by the Thunderbird desktop forum to change also my phone settings from POP3 to IMAP. I was told in order to do that I needed to create a new account first and then delete the old account.

However, when I go into server settings and I put in my e-mail address from my desktop, it states "e-mail address already in use". Clearly I do not want to create a new e-mail address - just use the same e-mail address that is on my desktop so that I can access e-mails on my phone that appear on my desktop. Help please!

Hello, I have a problem with Thunderbird that I don't understand and can't solve. Thunderbird can't connect to my IMAP account on the remote server perfectly even after a clean install. Incoming emails are downloaded, but only 82 out of 5600 outgoing emails. All login details are correct, I tried STARTTLS settings on the correct ports, but there is no change. I see in the Activity Manager that the connection between the server and the client is lost several times a minute. There is no network error, both I and the internet service provider have checked the connection. The client is running the Win11 operating system.

Hello,

I’m having an issue with Mozilla Thunderbird when using my WP.pl (IMAP) email account. Thunderbird keeps downloading messages endlessly — it repeatedly fetches headers and then tries to download all emails for offline use, but the process never finishes.

I would like to keep all my messages available offline, but it seems Thunderbird is constantly synchronizing and never stops downloading.

I haven’t tried any troubleshooting steps yet. Could you please advise how to properly set up Thunderbird so that it downloads all messages once and then keeps them stored offline without repeating the same process continuously?

I've been using Thunderbird for years (Windows 11 PC), and all has been working fine as recently as last night. Starting this morning, I continuously get the error message, "Login to server mail.comcast.net with user name xxx failed" (xxx not my actual account name). I've tried the "Retry" and "Enter New Password" options to no avail. I can go directly to the Comcast website, login and get my email that way, but I can't get Thunderbird to login.

To my knowledge, nothing changed between last night and today, but yet something seems to have happened. Any ideas appreciated!

Hello

We want to set up a GPO that when users exit their Firefox browser, all of there cookies and cache gets deleted.

How do we do this?

Thanks

Facendo segui alla seganlazione precedente relativa all' impossibilità di inviare posta con cui avete risposto con mail del 14/10 ore 9.00: l tuo IP è in una blocklist, probabilmente per spam o per altre attività anomale (non significa necessariamente che tu ne sia l'autore).

Prova a farti assegnare un IP diverso dal tuo internet provider (spesso basta spegnere il modem per qualche minuto e poi riaccenderlo).

Oppure contatta IOL/Libero/Virgilio e segnala la situazione.

In ogni caso non riguarda Thunderbird che si limita a mostrarti il messaggio di errore che riceve dal server.

Come mai da un altro pc riesco ad inviarla? Libero non c'entra e le configurazioni di thunderbird sui 2 pc sono le stesse. il fatto che il mio IP sia in una blocklist non mi è stato mai comunicato ne da voi ne tantomeno da Libero, quindi come si spiega il tutto se non per un'anomalia di Thunderbird. Attendo Ragguagli in merito. Cordiali saluti

When I'm composing an email, I can't move the cursor down past bolded text using the down arrow key. It just stays at the beginning of the bolded line. I can scroll up past it using the up key. This started a couple months ago, for some reason.

For months I have been working around a problem with Original HTYML message displays in my inbox. I have to revert to message body as Simple HTML for it to be readable. Please see the screenshot.

Do to the fact that the password situation is totality out of control, I would like to know if there is a better way of posting the password list. I mean that I have about 300 passwords and every time I open a web site and I need to go into the password list, "in case it doesn't show up automatically" , I can't understand some of the postings because it doesn't say the site, it says the url and it doesn't have the title of the site it just has the url. Then at the same time it has several url's with different passwords because I have several sites under the same url. Example, Google, I have several sites under Google and the password list just has the url's and not the title of the site. So it get very confusing. Is there a way to have to title of the site first and then the url? Then when I want to know which Google account that I want, I can go right to it. Now I am 76yrs. old and know only the basics of computers and would like to use Firefox on the phone, but I am afraid to because I don't know computers that good, but mainly I have trouble with passwords. Just finding the place where I can ask a question has taken me about 30 minutes and I had to sign in 5 different times. I am trying to keep a group of older people such as myself up with their computer and phone. One of the problems is that everything that is written on computers and phones are written for the young. They were born into computers, we weren't. If there is a way to post the passwords by what the site is and then the url, it sure would make things easier. Thank you for your time.

Hello.

I have added a new account to Thunderbird, and it is not syncing to show new messages. I am getting a pop-up from Tbird saying "The certificate for mail.newcreationloughborough.uk is not valid for that server ..." etc. I have gone through the procedure titled 'Troubleshooting email client warnings about invalid server certificates' to add Norton's certificate to my email app (as directed by the 'resolve' link in the 'Resolve email sync issues caused by certificate warnings' from the Norton EE Cyber Security add-on), and it tells me that the certificate is already installed.

What can I do next to get it to sync?
