Thunderbird Community Forum

I use apple mail on my phone and Thunderbird on my PC and my (IMAP) email provider is GMX. I recently added a couple of sub-folders to an existing folder and changed the names of couple of others (in the same main folder). I did those changes on my phone. However, those changes are not reflected on my PC. The folders with changed names are in the folder list but greyed out but the new folders are missing. If I click on a greyed out folder it is empty. I've tried several ways to force the list to update but, so far have been unsuccessful.

What is causing my problem and how can I fix it?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi. Yesterday I started getting a error saying TB could not connect to server (enter password). TB has been working ok for ages nothing has been changed (user name/password). I had read about adding OAuth2 to setting but cannot see this option in the dropdown box for connections. I have aske TB to test connection both in/out going and it tells me it can connect. I have added 3 screen shots. I can still send and receive emails via Yahoo web page and using mobil phone. thanks

Dear Team,

I am currently facing an issue with Thunderbird, and it has not been resolved yet. Therefore, I am unable to send emails through Thunderbird for the time being.

Until the issue is sorted out, I will be sending emails through an alternative method.

Thank you for your understanding.

Four accounts: Rogers Yahoo, Office365, GMX, and a second Yahoo account

When Thunderbird recently asked to access to my provider's server, I gave my Rogers Yahoo account and password; everything looked fine. But when I tried to use my second Yahoo email account, all the folders contained the same data as the Rogers Yahoo account, even though the email addresses were different; my original emails were gone from the Inbox and other folders.

So I began to follow the instructions in Mozilla's page "OAuth2 Authentication for Yahoo, AOL and ATT". 1) with Config Editor, changed "mailnews.oauth.usePrivateBrowser" to TRUE 2) checked for "Accept cookies from sites" in Privacy & Security settings 3) checked authentication settings: All Outgoing servers were set to "OAuth2", as well as Yahoo and Office365 incoming servers. The GMX incoming server was set at "Normal Password" with no option for "OAuth2". 4) I am in Canada and do not use VPN. 5) Finally, I deleted the second Yahoo account (tc2002ca) and all its data from Thunderbird. I logged into Yahoo! Mail online to make sure I had the correct password. I then added tc2002ca as a new account using manual configuration. I entered all the settings to match the Rogers Yahoo account, except (of course) the password which was associated with the tc2002ca account. The result: same as before - all the folders of this account were identical to the Rogers Yahoo account.

To summarize, all the settings in the two Yahoo accounts were the same (imap.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com) except the passwords. When I "tested connection to server" in each case it came back "Successful". Please help me get back to having two Yahoo accounts in Thunderbird, as I have had for years. By the way, I have had no problem using SeaMonkey in a similar way. Thanks!

Hi,

I configured my account using the server's IMAP service. Every time I open Thunderbird, it asks me for the password of the calendar service of that IMAP service. But it doesn't have a calendar service. Even if it has, I don't want to use it.

I looked everywhere in the settings page, but could not find a way to disable it.

Why the app keeps asking me for the calendar service's password and how to disable it?

Thanks.

I just updated from TB 142.0 to 148.0.1. After the update, my Yahoo and AOL accounts display a login window and prompted to re-enter the login credentials. After I enter the email address and click 'Next' an error is displayed:

Edge: Too Many Requests

This appears to be a browser error. What is needed to fix this? I am unable to re-enable my email addresses.

When I tried to copy the link to a 'real' browser window I was able to get the verification code from the sites, but then got the error Can't reach this page at 127.0.0.1, connection refused which, of course, is the loopback address.

I was locked out from yahoo completely but managed to reconnect with their web client today but Thunderbird still doesn't work. my connection is POP with my ports set as: inbound.att.net 995 outbound.att.net 465 when I test the connection under settings in Thunderbird reports: Successfully established a secure connection to inbound.att.net:995. Successfully established a secure connection to outbound.att.net:465. I was at Version 146.0.1 so I upgraded to 148 with no difference

I get many emails as a member of a group, and often want to reply to the sender and CC the other recipients. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem possible to CC all, delete my email address from the list, and add the sender’s email in the Reply box. What is the best way to achieve the addressing I want.

I cannot send from an Office365 account but can get mail - it simply says 'sending' but nothing happens.

I am using Owl (paid subscription) for my Office365 account.

I also have another email that is a simple IMAP account and that works beautifully!

I have a few folders I need deleting.

They do not appear in my webmail (mailserver) but do in Thunderbird - I have tried so many methods on your forums, but nothing is working - can you help?

TB on Windows

Prior to TB 148, OAUTH worked for POP3 access to: Gmail, MS Outlook, and Yahoo.

After TB 148 upgrade: OAUTH to Yahoo fails, subsequent log-in page also fails. Both OAUTH to Gmail and OAUTH to MS Outlook still work fine.

Rolled-back/Reverted to TB 147.0.2 -- OAUTH to all works fine, as it did previously.

Note: YahooMail seems to have other problems. But I was able to confirm successful OAUTH and POP3 to YahooMail after reversion to 147.0.2.

Verwalte über Thunderbird mehrere Mailadressen, jedoch läßt sich keine dieser Mailadressen öffnen. Es kommt ständig die Mitteilunbg , 'Keine Nachricht gefunden' . Bei Neustart kommt die Mitteilung Thunderbird wird bereits ausgeführt, und dann erneute 'Keine Nachricht gefunden ' ... !???

Thunderbird was running on a laptop that has become suspect. Copied the files to a desktop machine. Tried to access these file from the app on the laptop. Only new message are available. All old inbox, sent, other folders, trash, etc. are missing. Tried to go back to the laptop files, but the results are the same.

Running Windows 11 on both machines.

Is there any way to get my data back?

Thanks, Robert

I've always experience occasional TB crashes. According to my log history there was 1 in July, 3 in Aug, 2 in Sep, 2 in Oct, and 6 in Nov. I never really paid attention since the reboot was quick. But now in December I am losing work and it is a major problem. I've had 30 crashes in Dec and 21 in the past week. I have only 3 add ons and they have not changed, and a Copernic connector. I disable the Copernic connector and it didn't help. I have the same 140.6 on my Surface Go with the same add ons, except for Copernic and it runs fine. On both PCs I use Malewarebytes and WinDef. I have put exclusions for them in their setups. Even with MBAM completely disabled I've still had crashes.

I cleared the Cache and no help. I've even had occasional crashes in Troubleshooting mode. Here are my last 5 crash IDs

bp-070bf941-4e8b-41a3-8b84-3e3440251224 bp-a936f7c2-9ee3-4c38-b304-dab830251224 bp-8be9cf9e-8f2f-49bb-95cf-47e780251224 bp-12f8fc2c-c505-40f0-8c67-44b730251224 bp-9013fb78-086c-4327-9de8-62db30251223

Interestingly I’m also experiencing crashes with Firefox, especially ChatGPT. I cleared the ChatGPT history and that helped but did not solve the problem. I cleared the Firefox cache and in troubleshoot mode still have issues.

Otherwise my win11 PC seems to be working fine. I’ve run chkdsk and all is ok. Also scannow is ok.

Is my next step a profile rebuild?

Hello, when i put a message in the garbage can, thundirbird open immediately a new message. sometimes i think that the new message is the old one and i put it in the can without reading it... So, i would like that thundirbird does not open a new message when i put one in the garbage can, i want it open a message only if i clic on it manually, not automatically. Is it possible in the settings ( i have not found)

thanks.

On Bazzite, currently I'm running Thunderbird version 140.8.1esr.

I only have one account set up in Thunderbird, which is my iCloud email account. I followed the steps in this guide to set up my iCloud email account in Thunderbird, and it went very smooth.

No matter what I do, no matter how many times I mark all folders as read, the icon in my dock ALWAYS displays a new mail notification.

I've removed and re-added my account twice, and have uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird from the Bazaar store. iCloud on the web also does not show that I have any new messages.
