When Thunderbird is set to synchronize from an iCloud contact CardDAV, it is unable to show the photos for the contact. I am using TB 115 on Windows (problem is platform independent).

Steps to reproduce

1. Have an Apple ID. Use iCloud contact's web UI to create a contact and upload a photo for them.
2. Get an app password for the Apple ID.
3. Add iCloud contact as a CardDAV address book in TB. Should use https://contacts.icloud.com/contacts/ as the carddav location. The actual carddav URL I got is something like https://p123-contacts.icloud.com/12345678901/carddavhome/card/. (not a real link)
4. Sync the address book. The photo would not display correctly.

My investigation

Apple's carddav API server returns in its vcard a HTTP URL as its PHOTO field, like:

PHOTO;VALUE=URI:https://gateway.icloud.com/contacts/12345678901/ck/card/123
 456789abcd12345678abcd1234567

(not a real url; you can export the vcard if you have done the above reproducing steps) However, this URL cannot be directly accessed (would return 401 saying "Missing X-APPLE-WEBAUTH-USER cookie"; see e.g. this github issue). However, the cookie is not really needed; I can use HTTP basic auth with the same credential for the carddav server (in this case it's the apple app password, yourappleid@apple.com:1234-abcd-5678-dcba).

Potential fix

The current implementation directly puts the carddav photo URI into an HTML img tag. I think Thunderbird can make an AJAX request to fetch the image with the credentials and then put the result into an img tag.

Since upgrading to version 115.8.1 I get unable to write email to mailbox . I have three email addresses in my profile. All are POP. One (from yahoo) always hangs and the other two fail intermittently. OS is Windows 10 64-bit at 22H2 level It doesn't matter if Zonealarm is turned on or off. I have over 300GB of free space on disk.

Full error message: Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

Im using Thunderbird Beta release. Starting last week, my PC would become extremely slow, to the point it would nearly come to a complete halt. After digging around, I realized it was due to excessively large Thunderbird NSTMP files that were being created. I would delete them and the speed would improve. But then a while later, the NSTMP files reappear and gobble up all my Harddisk again. Part of the issue is the sheer large size of the file, which will consume all available space on my HD, which at present is 600GB. But it also eats up all my RAM so my system slows down til the NSTMP file is fully built.

I use this as imap with Gmail installed on a PC with a 1TB SSD

Today after my pc started slowing again, I started poking around and noticed my main Inbox is massive, 29GB, which there is no chance its that large. All Mail is only 1GB to give perspective

This has been going on about a week.

I tried repairing my inboxes and other folders, but that does not seem to have helped.

Hi All, Greetings!!! For the past two days, I have got the error like "Sending of the message failed. The message could not not be sent because the connection to Outgoing Server (SMTP) timed out". So I have restared our router (Broadband Modem), and then tried to send the mail, but the result is same. Then I have tried using my mobile network (using hotspot method), this time mail was sent sucessfully. Please help me to solve the issues...

Thanks Karthik

Hi, we started getting Thunderbird errors on both inbound and outbound messages when everything was fine earlier this morning on both. We are on Windows 10 running the Thunderbird 115.5.0 (32-bit) Release.

Inbound error message: The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later. Outbound error message: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) outbound.att.net was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again.

Are you all experiencing server issues - I don't believe this is a configuration problem on my side?

Good Morning,

 I am having a problem accessing my email through Thunderbird.  I have a Comcast account.  Thunderbird won't access my new Comcast password therefore I cannot get my email thru thunderbird.  I have been on the phone with comcast and they suggested I contact you.  I am really hoping that you can help me with this because I've been using Thunderbird for a long time and I absolutely LOVE your email instead of using comcast website. When I try to put the new password in this is the message i get:
"Sending of password for user lmccleery1 did not succeed.  Mail server mail.comcast.net responded [AUTH] Authentication fail."  I also get the message: "login to server mail.comcast.net with username lmccleery1 failed."

The auth code is 1014.

 I will be anxiously awaiting your response and hopefully be able to resolve this issue.

Thank you so much, Linda McCleery

Thunderbird runs slow...ie when I type an email I can easily type faster than thunderbird will accept characters....(this does not happen in other applications)...this happened about a month ago, and then stopped ( I have no idea why)...but the problem is back. I am running Ver 115.10.0 build 2024012173147. Rebooting windows 11 makes no difference.... I just tried to enter Troubleshoot mode and thunderbird stopped responding....Top line says Mozilla Thunderbird (Not Responding). Thunderbird is connected to my gmail account. ...and I run IMAP....with 'store all messages on the computer', but thunderbird wants to load every email from the server'

Any advice would be appreciated Rick

cant send or recieve eemails for past week get this message???? This message could not be sent because The connection to outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com timed out ... Try again ???

I hae no idea why or what to do now if someone could help me that would be great

Sorry I have no idea what any of what is in the Shared Data means

I have just switched to Thunderbird from Gmail. Have tried several times to send bulk emails but always get this message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: We have detected an unusual amount of suspicious mail originating from this address. Please try again later.. Please check the message and try again.

I have a need to send emails frequently to more than one address and this is going to be most inconvenient if it can't be fixed. Is there a setting somewhere?

Thank you.

Was just updated to version 115.5.1, and I had held off posting this question until after the update, hoping the issue might be resolved... but it's as bad as ever.

Tbird abruptly became very slow to delete/display messages; not with the last update, but a couple of updates previously. I have been in the habit of working my way up the list from the oldest to the newest, and as I hit "delete" and "up arrow" to view the next email, it's a slow, laggy process. Both emails remain highlighted for a second or two, the old email continues to display, then the deleted email drops out, and shortly the new one displays, the whole process taking a bit over two seconds... to move from one email to the next, a process that used to be nearly instantaneous. No idea exactly when that changed, but it seems to be a process that's getting worse with time.

Any ideas on what I might be able to do to get my original level of performance back? For what it's worth, this is a new machine, insanely fast compared to my older one, and Tbird is the only app where I'm encountering this kind of slowness issue. Everything else is astonishingly faster by comparison... but Tbird remains laggy and slow and I've no idea where to start looking for reasons for this. Don't even know what kind of information to post here that might be useful in diagnosing the issue - - tell me what's needed and I'll do my best to get it. Thanks in advance! I *really* don't want to change email clients after all this time!

I am using Thunderbird v 115.5.1 on a Windows 10 system. I am using an "@hotmail.com" email address. I seem to be able to receive emails just fine, but face an issue sending out emails. When I press "send", it gets stuck on "sending message" for quite a while, then I see the error message:

=

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com timed out. Try again.

=

My SMTP settings: Server Name: smtp.office365.com Port: 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication Method: OAuth2

Appreciate any help! :)

trying to get email - got this error; How do I fix this?????????? Happening last few days.

my email: [edited] @yandex.com

Sending of password for user pizzipie did not succeed. Mail server pop.yandex.com responded: [AUTH] login failure or POP3 disabled, try later. sc=75IVcg0DLKo0_290005_

After years without problems, Thunderbird suddenly started locking up when I try to insert an image into a new message. There is no error alert; the message just completely locks so that I have to force task to end. Until a couple of weeks ago, I was able to insert files stored on my computer or copied from browser with no problem at all. [Not talking about a signature, just an image. Emojis work fine]

Am not aware of changing anything. Running Windows 11 Home version 23H2, if that helps anyone explain what's happening. Thunderbird version 115.5.0 (64-bit)

Haven't tried un/reinstalling TBird as want first to see if there's an easier solution (have several accounts).

When I use a html signature with graphics, the recipients who can not receive Html, do ot receive the grafics, obviously, but also not any other attachment like a PDF file. The same is sent but not received! in other words, our customer complain that we forgot the attachment, but we did not. If I resend without the signature, they receive the PDF file. If I reply with an attachment and have a previous signature with grafics in the feed, the attachement also disapears. The only solution is no grphics in the signature, but that is not a solution, just a quick fix. Thank you very much for your replies.

Email that I am sending from Thunderbird is being rejected for no apparent reason by the recipient server. This is not due to an ISP or sending server security issue since, when I send exactly the same email from my ISP email web page (not Thunderbird) the email is received properly and accepted without error. So, the problem is most definitely with Thunderbird. The following is the header text from one of the rejection replies.

Do not reply that his is an issue with my ISP. It is not. It is purely a Thunderbird issue. Thanks for your time.

Hi everyone! Apologies upfront in case this question has already been asked, but I'm struggling to see if something similar was already posted... In a nutshell: I delete messages in my inbox (or any other folder) in Thunderbird, but when I login to the website of my mail provider (gmx.net) or check the app on my phone, I still see these mails on the imap server. Is this a known issue? What could be the reason?
