After recent update I can no longer send email on any of my accounts. A message popped up when I opened Thunderbird after the update stating I would need to change some settings, but message disappeared before I could read it all and could make changes. I need to know what settings I need to change to restore outgoing mail ability. my Email accounts are Gmail and Yahoo.

I'm changing email servers and need the best way to automatically backup my complete(multiple domains and user accounts) emails in thunderbird to a separate drive or local machine before changing servers. I would prefer an automated way to do this so I can continue to update backup file routinely

I already back up my profile regularly to a remote drive

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

When Thunderbird injects a link preview into a message, it changes the text composition from Body Text (my norm and default) to Paragraph. This styling change persists even after I delete what look like the entire preview.

My fix for the current message is to select all and reestablish Body Text, then clean up left over mess.

My overall fix is to uncheck Settings > Composition > Add link previews when pasting URLs

Clearly HTML is required to create a graphic preview box in a message. I do not recall having turned link preview on to begin with, so I'm feeling opted in. Do Thunderbird updates download with this option turned off? ___

Another reason I eshew link previews is that they appear to establish connections to online assets without asking. How is this safe? As a software developer - and simply as a user - I have occasion to send people links that I don't want to connect with. To pick an easy edge case, what if I'm reporting a phishing or malware site? Just because I type or paste an URL into an email message doesn't mean I want to download anything from that source.

Curmudgery aside, I'm grateful for your help as always. Paul

Hello everyone. Thanks for all your support.

A few weeks ago I started noticing a pop up window was occurring every (approx) 5 minutes in Thunderbird suggesting that I run a compact to save 992MB. I assumed this would stop happening after a few weeks and a few updates from Mozilla, but the problem has remained, so I'm coming here to ask about it.

Context: I'm on Windows 11. I have multiple email accounts that my Thunderbird reaches out to. At least one of the accounts is retired so reaching out to its historical server fails.

Reproducing: For me to reproduce it, I run the compact. Quit Thunderbird. Start Thunderbird. It reports 992MB can be freed. I let it compact. The main inbox disappears and reappears. I wait a few seconds and restart Thunderbird. It again tells me that it can save 992MB by running a compact.

What I've tried: I've tried repair on the inbox folder of the account I'm typically in. That didn't help. I have many other folders across many accounts and not tried to repair any other folders. I've searched the Mozilla help system.

Logs: It seems to me that a compact is probably failing but I don't know where to look for evidence of the failure.

Help. Help. I have been a very happy Thunderbird user for many years. I have linked my microsoft exchange calendar to thunderbird with the TBSync and Provider for Exchange ActiveSync.

With the upgrade to version 148, those add-ons no longer work.

So I downgraded to 140 ESR and those two add-ons were ok.

But when I tried to link them to my calendar, they would not sync. I received 401 and 403 errors from the automated setups. And the manual setup, asked for my password over and over again. They all worked beautifully before.

Please how can I get them to work again. I do not want to have to shift to outlook.

thank-you

I have several emails (personal and business) that I use and have them grouped in Unified inbox. Recently one of those emails showed up as a new folder (just under Trash folder) in bold type. It has with a varying number of emails in it, now 18. When I click on the 'open folder arrow', a subfolder 'Archives' with nothing in it shows up. When I open the email folder a new page appears with the email as a header and underneath 'set up another account', 'import from another program', 'about mozilla thunderbird', and 'resources'. What is happening? How can I get rid of this folder since I can't read any of the emails in it and it is just a duplicate of the folder that already is working find in the inbox? TIA

I had about 7 accounts in ThunderBird already setup and working. Now when I try to setup another account, it goes through until the screen that wants me to click to Allow ThuderBird to get information from Google. This screen comes as fullscreen with no scrolling bars. And there is no icon that I can click on the screen to Allow information sharing. I am stuck here and cannot add any more accounts to Thunderbird.

Hello-

   Just today I received this error code when trying to sync with my Outlook account in TB. It tells me that anything under v.16.1 will not work. In the account settings it only allows me to choose from v.2.5 & 14, no 16. How do I update to ver.16?

Thanks, Bob

All my saved mails in my local archives dissappeared about one week ago, probably in connection with a system update of my Thunderbird mail box. These mails are important for me. How do I do to get them back? Best regards, Monica Biander

A few days ago I started getting a failed sign in for one of my emails. The solution seems to be that my authentication method in ≡ > Account Settings > Server Settings does not give OAuth2 as a choice. Screenshot shows what is available. All other email authentication methods have that as a choice. Is this a problem with the email program or T'bird? T'bird is 140.8.1esr (64-bit) O/S is Win11 Thanks for your help

I can't login to my Mozilla email account this morning. My service provider is working fine and I can send and receive emails through them but not through Mozilla. Please advise. Thank you. Tim Cimperman cody46@zoominternet.net
