Thunderbird Community Forum

I recently created a Google Workspace account. There, I have a user profile with a custom email address. I've set up the new account in Thunderbird, and it is working as expected. If I send a message from my "external" account to the workspace account, it arrives, and I'm able to reply back.

One feature of Google Workspace is what they call "alternate email" addresses. They sort of work as an alias for the native address. I have created one such alternate. If I send a message from my external account to the alias, it arrives correctly in the workspace account. However, when I reply from the workspace account, it does not go back to the originating address, but instead it is addressed back to the alias. If I repeat the experiment from the Gmail web interface, it replies to the correct address.

I've downloaded all the headers, and the Return-Path tag is correct. I can provide the full header if needed.

It feels like there is an invisible forwarding action to get from the alias to the workspace account, and that the reply action is incorrectly finding the interim alias. But that doesn't really seem to be what I see in the headers - although I'm probably not the most expert reader of those.

And it isn't necessarily a Thunderbird issue. I can see that there could be something going on with Google. But this is a good place to start...  :-)

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 been using TB to access my Office365 account using the TB Oauth protocol, however, it got to be painfully slow when trying to download messages. I had set up rules and folders that worked, albeit slow.

To try to alleviate the slowness I started a new profile to my Office365 account again using Thunderbird's OAuth protocol. It's lightning fast! But it didn't bring down any of my Office365 folders that exist up on the Office365 servers. (see 2nd TB Install screen print below) It had brought down all the folders and previous e-mails in the 1st installation. (see 1st TB Install Redacted. Screenprint below)

I don't know why this might happen, does anyone have any ideas? Is there a workaround or could I be doing something wrong?

Thanks

Hello,

Everything working just fine last night. Wake up and Thunderbird will not retrieve emails.

Remembered this old message I got so I went through and deleted my second email address, didn't help.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo

Checked all settings compared to Yahoo, still won't download messages. I can even send a message with my current settings no problem, and it does login, just won't retrieve emails. Gives me a connection timeout.

Anyone have any ideas?

I asked previously and didn't find a solution. Because I still needed to get below Yahoo Mail's new storage limits (which take effect on May 5) I completed that objective the hard way.

BUT Thunderbird processed thousands of emails before choking on the single email that stopped it. What became of those emails? What do I need to do at this point?

Error message : Échec de la connexion au compte « aog@bluewin.ch » Échec de la connexion depuis le serveur imaps.bluewin.ch avec le nom d’utilisateur aog@bluewin.ch.

I click on "Saisir un nouveau mot de passe" I enter the correct pass word I get from bluewin.
