This isn't a crash, but it's an error that keeps happening as I'm typing my email. It's a problem with saving drafts. The error message reads : Error while saving draft. The configured key id "0x8DC635DD33C6A871" cannot be found on your keyring.

I can't type an email longer than say 30 seconds without this error constantly coming up until I send the email. (Needless to say I also can't save to drafts)

Uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird and same problem.

My computer was wiped and I imported my last profile when installing Thunderbird.

Would not want to lose all my email in order to start a fresh profile :(

Also, as I was went looking for the version of Thunderbird I noticed it seems to be having trouble doing an update. I'm using the release update channel.

Been using Thunderbird for 25 years and never had this issue before.

My problem is that I can't get Thunderbird to work with my YouSee email account, or vice versa. I get a message that my email address or password is incorrect but they are not YouSee can't or won't help apparently I'm running Win 11

When attempting to send a web address under "file" tab using Thunderbird, there is an offering "email Link". "email link" does nothing with Windows 11 but worked with Windows 10? I have to copy and paste to send a web address to a mail recipient.

After the last update when trying to send email I get the warrning of app: errer with "smtp.gmail.com". Any idea on how to fix it? Thank you for your help.

I have a number of pop3 accounts with the same mail host, but suddenly one of them gives me the 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."

I use Thunderbird on two Windows machines, and the problem is on both, so it is something in the interaction with the server, however, there is no problem accessing the mail via webmail directly on the server.

I have tried to change password on the account, but the problem did not go away. In fact, I got the box to tell me that the old password did no longer work, so I know that the problem pops up after log in to the account. Before the error message appears, the message "downloading 208 messages" (or something similar) briefly appears.

Is there a way to find out exactly what fails?

It's been almost a week now, and my 2 Microsoft email accounts will not connect to Thunderbird anymore. All was fine for years, but something changed that I can't figure out!?! I have gone to my Microsoft email server and checked that my passwords still work. I even updated one and it works on Microsoft server but not Thunderbird's!?!? I even deleted one email account from Thunder bird to re-install it, but when I tried a fresh re-install Thunderbird still won't connect to Microsoft server??? I'm at my wits end, and may abandon Thunderbird completely if someone there doesn't help me connect!!!

I use Thunderbird 140.9.esr and happened to notice some strange behavior a few weeks ago: I have 5 email accounts, all of which I access via IMAP. Immediately upon syncing, some (not all) emails disappear from the inbox of the first account and appear in the inbox of the third account. When I then manually move the emails back to the correct inbox, they remain there permanently.

When I check the accounts via webmail, the emails have indeed been moved from one server to the other. At first, I thought it was a problem with my filters, but none of the filters were set up to move emails from one server to another. When I disable all filters, the problem persists. Could it be that I made a mistake in the account settings? However, the accounts have been set up for several years now, and I’ve been using Thunderbird for just as long. I didn’t notice this error in earlier versions.

Problem: the bottom left says "No messages to download", the download line on the bottom right keeps jumping and it's impossible to use filters!

Tried: -Logged in to my account again, clearing old data. Didn't help. -Tried "Repair Folder" -Deleted filters -Deleted indexes None of these helped. How can I fix the problem? This didn't happen before, but it appeared with version 150.0.1.

Login to the server pop.gmx.net with username "..." failed.

I have several accounts with GMX. Two work, and the other two display the above error message. Everything works when I log in via a browser, but not in Thunderbird. The account settings are identical for all four accounts except for the password and username.

What can I do?

Thank you in advance.

Hi I regularly get a message popping up when I attempt to access my gmail emails in Thunderbird stating that there was an Authentication Failure while connecting to server imap.gmail.com. I cannot find a solution as to how I get over this error and could find nothing on the Thunderbird forum regarding this problem. Help! regards Eric Athroll

How do I view the messages referenced by the dialogue asking me "Do you want to send your unsent messages now?" This dialogue suddenly started to appear when I startup Thunderbird. The dialogue has two buttons: "Send Now" and "Later." Thanks

After using Thunderbird without issue for several years, yesterday suddently it stopped receiving new emails. It seems like the connection times out. My internet service provider hasn't been able to help me, they guided me to change some settings but it hasn't worked. In the end they have said to just use their webmail, which I find difficult to use and disorienting.

Please help me get my Thunderbird back up and running.

Hi,

I would have posted this on this previous question by the same name https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1266115 However it has been closed from further discussion despite being the top search google link for "thunderbird filter contains wildcard"

And what I wanted to say is that

This should long have been core functionality It is not even apparent when you make the filters, that wildcards (*) don't work So you make a ton of filters and they're silently broken !!!

I find the general filter creation process very cumbersome, almost almost every setting has to be changed every time, the main window, locks so you can't copy-paste from it mid-filter-creation and many many other quirks that make each filter creation an annoying 20 steps process, core among which, is the inability to create a destination folder on the fly while creating the filter !

But yeah, no wildcard support is kind of crazy

for example I want to put all emails from pizzahut in a folder

But they randomly change their From URL to @a.pizzahut.ca @b.pizzahut.ca @c.pizzahut.ca @d.pizzahut.ca @e.pizzahut.ca @f.pizzahut.ca

It's like they know the filters can't wildcard ! they is super annoying !!

After tried many suggested steps to trouble shooting the problems, it still can't download Comcast emails. It keeps pop up "enter password" or "password failed" again and again. But I can send emails. I can't upload the trouble shooting information file to send. Thanks

I have a SoGO email account through my educational institution. I configured the new account in Thunderbird just as I did with my other email accounts (which are all functioning well). My SoGO email was verified to be working, and I was able to receive new emails and also search my old emails. However, when I try to send emails, I come up with a Send Message Error that says Authentication required. I have checked the email address, the Outgoing Server, the authentication methods, and the server settings, and I can find nothing that is wrong. I am still able to send emails from the other accounts, and I am able to get incoming emails to the SoGO account, I just can't send them.
