While using you site and looking at joining Thunderbird mail I have been cf charged twio amounts 1p and £34.99 by library hub .com I did not authorized These payments it is fraud I'm 71 years old and nearly blind and can't afford The loss of this money. Kind Regards James Robson

My email provider is terminating the existing email domain name, and replacing it with a new domain name. I want to retain all existing Thunderbird folders and emails for use with the new email. Example: username@q.com becomes username@myclk.com. (Yep, it's Centurylink.)

Can I change my existing Thunderbird account name and email and retain all existing folders and emails in the account? Some server settings would also be changed.

Or, do I need to set up a new account?

Thanks

Yahoo insists on OAuth2 but tb always complains about Javascript missing. I can enter username and then in the the next screen password but the process then hangs, signing in continuing forever.

Please consider a slight change in the new feature where on the bottom right we have an opportunity to click on "as read" or "delete". Great time saver, but for heaven's sake you bring up the Thunderbird anyway. Come on ! ! ! ? The short cut is so we don't have to bring it up. What good is this new feature if it is exactly the same number of clicks as if you didn't have this new feature. Walt

My Tags window & folder [View, Folders, Tags] layout stopped properly displaying all my items with the appropriate "tag" set in the past few updates to T'bird. I recently switched to version 140.4.0esr but the problem existed before that in 140.2.1 as well. Is there any way to force a "rebuild" of the Tags window so that all my tagged items show in their appropriate categories, with appropriate statuses [read/unread, etc]? Otherwise, the Tag feature is no longer useful.

I've been wanting to access Thunderbird's encryption ability on both my laptop and desktop. However, in setting up Tbird on my laptop I notice the user Profile should stay on one computer. Can I use the same Profile on more than one computer using the same source and password? Can I open a new profile on a second computer, even though I would have to use the same email source, a local provider? If not, is there an online source of email data I can use on Tbird on my laptop. Thanks much, Bruce Bartrug

Hello,

I have to add the Password every time I open Thunderbird because I removed the Password myself after I read this:

<<<< ThundaMike Mozilla Staff 7/28/25, 9:15 PM more options Sounds like you are almost there.

Building off what @david said above, try this:

In Thunderbird, go to Settings > Privacy & Security.

Scroll down to the Passwords section and click Saved Passwords….

Find your email account in the list and remove the saved password.

Restart Thunderbird.

When prompted, enter your new password. >>>

My doing this it removed the .twc password Log In totally in that Settings. I do not see the "my twc.com" in the settings of Tools, Privacy & Security, then Saved Passwords in the list, I only see the Hotmail account settings I have in Thunderbird. Removing it like ThundaMike wrote really removed all the TWC Password and Information.

Can someone help me restoring or re-enter my Mozilla Thunderbird info back into Tools, Privacy & Security, then Saved Passwords so I do not have to type in the Password every time I open Thunderbird.

Thank you so much for your time and efforts I truly appreciate it.

Every so often a message pops up that a folder can't be compacted because it's in use.

I don't understand why TB bothers users with this message. Compacting folders is supposed to be invisible to the user. It'll get compacted eventually, so no user action is required.

If I'm missing something, please educate me.

And if not, what's the best chance of getting it removed? Should I submit a bug report and argue that it's a bug in the design? Is a suggestion likely to do anything?

Yesterday, I thought I had my original problem with TB fixed by installing v140.5.0. Well, things just got worse.

While trouble shooting it today, it AUTO UPGRADED to v144.0.1.

Spectrum had me change my password for one of my accounts on Thunderbird. I changed it with Spectrum. That account was working fine from Nov. 6 until today, Nov. 16; today, it decided that my password wouldn't work. I tried to change it when it asked at the time I was trying to send an email; it wouldn't take. I then went into "saved passwords" and tried to change it; it wanted a pin. This is my** first problem;** Norton has no idea what that is. Thunderbird asked for other sign-in methods including a Yahoo email, but I have no idea what it wants as it doesn't want the password for that Yahoo account. What is it looking for????

I deleted the account from Thunderbird's password manager. After my shutting down and reopening Thunderbird a few times, it finally worked --however, it didn't ask for a password and sent and received email just fine. Thunderbird now doesn't have that account listed in its password manager, but is giving me my mail and sending my mail out without asking me for a password. **This is my second problem.**

Since this is all combined, I'm sending both questions together; otherwise, I wouldn't do so. Does anyone know what's happening and how to get a password back as a necessity for that email account?

All of our email goes through Proofpoint. It has a feature that redirects all links to their URL Defense before allowing it to continue to the original destination. However, when the link is typed out in the email, Thunderbird pops up with the message that there is a Link Mismatch Detected and it lets the user go to the actual link instead of forcing it through the Proofpoint URL Defense. I need to disable that feature or create an exception for anything that redirects to Proofpoints URL.

I just went through hell trying to figure out why I could not send emails on my comcast.net account when I had to reinstall TB.

Here's what worked for me:

Bonjour, J'ai un problème pour imprimer depuis Thunderbird. Lorsque je tente d'imprimer, mon imprimante Brother s'affiche momentanément, puis un message d'erreur apparaît indiquant "L'imprimante choisie est introuvable". J'ai supprimé mon profil de Thunderbird pour paramétrer à nouveau le logiciel avec mon compte de messagerie et j'ai réinstallé proprement mon imprimante Brother. Je précise que je peux imprimer en dehors de Thunderbird. Est-ce que vous auriez une solution à me proposer ? Ci-joint, une capture d'écran du message d'erreur. Cordialement. Cyril.

Hi there,

I need to export my thunderbird account over to outlook.com. I'm hoping to just sign into outlook.com and add my current thunderbird email details for j.childs@mhslimited.net.

When trying to add this as a POP or IMAP I get an authentication error once applying the incoming/outgoing server and port details.

Can you please help with what details I need to do the above.

Thanks

11-14-25 I have a Dell Precision M6700 laptop running Outlook 2007 under Windows 7 64 bit Pro. I have a Dell Precision 7720 laptop running Thunderbird under Windows 11 64 bit Pro. So far I have been unable to export the Outlook.pst file from the M6700 and import it into the 7720. I have tried to find a free version of a pst to eml converter, but the free (or trial) versions only seem to convert a few files in each folder. So assuming pst to eml conversion is the first step, I need recommendations for reliable but reasonably priced conversion utilities so that I can export the files from Outlook 2007.

I have tried to import converted eml files into Thunderbird, but the Thunderbird import software seems to be looking mainly for a profile which I don't know where to find. And besides, it appears that Thunderbird is designed to do the export/import operations on the same computer, not two computers as in my case. Anyway, I get an error no matter what I try. If someone has insight into these various steps, I would greatly appreciate some help. Thanks!

Regards, Dave

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to add my school email address to Thunderbird, but I keep getting a "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password." error. I know that the username is right, and for the password, I've tried using the right password vs. leaving that field blank. For the configuration, I don't know if that's right.

The auto-configuration finds a configuration in the Mozilla ISP database, but that configuration leads me to the aforementioned error message. If the configuration is wrong, how would I go about finding the right information?

Alternatively, might it be the case that my school (the organization) has disabled using Thunderbird for our email. For any help looking into this, it's a @berkeley.edu address.

Thank you for your help!
