Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Thunderbird

hello, i cannot seem to find a solution online, hopefully someone can help.

i often receive emails with images attached, and most of the time people don't resize their images. you can imagine over time this all adds up in the email storage folder total size.

i dont always need to keep a 6mb image version, it can be reduced after i am done.

i would like a method to resize the received emails image attachment, to at least still have a smaller copy for refence, but not end up with a huge thunderbird email account profile (in the email received not externally saved)

preferably a one click solution, or even a routine i can run on the file system, etc. or some way to edit the received email and its attachment in program.

thanks

The qr code displayed in the account transfer email from thunderbird is bigger than my pc screen. Snapping a picture with phone camera not possible. I employ visual accessibilities on pc as I am elderly and have tried to get emails to appear smaller. Cannot get entire qr image on screen.

Thunderbird version 148.0.1 will not send outbound emails since updated to OAuth2. Error message is Unable to Authentic Outgoing server (SMTP) Email account will allow inbound mail , but will not send mail. Have worked through all published troubleshooting steps. Extremely frustrating!

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 use Thunderbird 115.18.0 on a Windows 7 machine. I wish to transfer all my Thunderbird data to a machine running Linux Mint 21.3 which has Thunderbird 128.12.0esr. I have not been successful after many tries. Could this be because the Thunderbird revisions are different? If so, can I get 115.18.0 to install on my Mint machine? If not how should I proceed? I have already tried creating a new .thunderbird directory with ********.default directory from the other machine. I have also tried a new .thunderbird directory with a the ********default-release directory as directed by one site.

Hello,

I have never used Thunderbird previously. May I ask a newb question?

I can longer export my emails from my main online email account in the form of a file for back up. That would be an Outlook/Hotmail account. That is not the only scam Microsoft have pulled in the last few years with Outlook as well, which I am more than happy to go into if asked. I do not want to, nor can I install their Desktop Outlook app which I understand still allows export.

So my question is, if I install Thunderbird, does in sync with another email account, then download and store them on PC for back up? It would be many thousands of emails as well. The file exported from Outlook until Microsoft inflicted their latest used to be around 12Gb.

Also, if I do anything via thunderbird, is that replicated in my Outlook email account? I am concerned that emails may disappear from the email account if say Thunderbird is removed from the PC.

Any advice or pointers to already existing thread would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Mike.

For years I have had 4 email addresses using Thunderbird to access email from Yahoo AT&T currently.com email (@att.net) using Oauth2. In early March, two of the email addresses stop working. For one of the email addresses I was able to login to Yahoo mail using the User ID and Access ID and establish a new Secure Mail Key. I then went back to Thunderbird and reentered the email address with the new Secure Mail Key and was able to reestablish connection. For the second email address, Yahoo mail locked me out. I have tried to contact Yahoo support for 2 weeks by filling out their forms and have not received a response. Also I do not have a Recovery Email address. Any suggestions ?

The summary says it all, really. I've tried all sorts of Google searches and fixes, but nothing works; I was originally on Netscape Navigator, and after Microsoft killed that off, I went to Firefox and Thunderbird - so 'lost in the mists of time ' sums up my problem.

First - sorry if the post is messy, but I don't see a Preview option today

PRELUDE: When I create a email to send to Joe@hotmail.com, on clicking SEND, a popup wants a password for a different account:

EXAMPLE: (emails are faked here for privacy)

Assume I have the following email accounts:

1. john@fakes.xy
2. jane@morefakes.vc
3. fred@deftly.xc

I compose a email to john@fakes.xy. I click SEND, and there is a popup stating:

Status: Sending message... Progress {progress bar}

and second popup with :

Enter your password for jane@morefakes.vc on mail.{IP name}.com

and a third popup with:

Login to server mail.{ip-name} with username jane@morefakes.vc failed

I have attached a screen cap (redacted) as seen in actual.

SUMMARY:

• When addressing email to Joe, upon SEND, the errors show password to use is listing a different account.

I ran Troubleshooting Mode with no errors, except, same thing. Wants password from a different email account.

Thanks for reading this, ~r

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.

Firefox added a Windows SSO check-box to its security and privacy settings and UI.

It corresponds to the "network.http.window-sso.enabled" prefs. My org now requires this to allow sign-in in, including for emails, so Thunderbird is affected. Any plan to support this prefs? I wpould be fine editing my prefs.js file in muy profile if no UI is provided. As of now, Thunderbird no longer is compatible with this org requirements.

I've been using Thunderbird for a few months now and I have been marking email as "spam" or as "not spam" but I am finding that a lot of addresses that I mark as "not spam" still end up in my spam folder, even after marking them several times.

What I have been doing is restoring the email that I want to read back to the inbox and marking it again as "not spam". Some email that I mark as spam does get moved to the spam folder, which is fine.

Is this was happens for some considerable time or am I getting something wrong?

Using TB 140.8.1 esr(64 bit) on Win11 Home desktop. My internet speed: About 40 Mbps up and down. All routine Win and TB updates installed when available. No changes in configuration, accounts, settings etc. except installing routine updates to TB and Win11. No problem with sending/receiving email. Sent mails go out immediately and appear right away in my sent folder. No problem receiving USENET news new postings to subscribed groups. I'm subscribed to 3 groups, using news.eternal-september.org. It used to be that when I wrote a reply to a post in a thread the msg would be sent within a few seconds. Recently and consistently, when I post to a group, pop-up notification tells me msg is being assembled. But progress appears to stall and msg often takes an hr. or more to appear in sent folder. Sometimes, it never appears in my sent folder but I can see it was sent because subsequent new postings to the same thread often cite my text and/or reply to it. My sent configuration: outgoing server: smtp.gmail.com port: 465 user name: my gmail email address - which works fine using google's web interface or TB authentication: OAuth2 connection security: SSL/TLS Any idea what's wrong? Any suggestions what to try to get back to prompt processing of sent postings to subscribed USENET groups?

Ich habe ein Update von meinem Tunderbird Konto gemacht. Meine Software ist Windows 10. nun habe ich keineUnterlagen mehr. Was soll ich tun. bitte um Hilfe. Bin bereits82 Jahre alt und habe keine Hilfe.

depuis le 10 mars 12 h ma boîte mail thunderbird ne reçoit plus aucun message et je ne peux en envoyer aucun. j'ai un message  : échec de l'authentification lors de la connection au serveur. Mon serveur Yahoo me demande de me reconnecter, ce qui s'avère impossible à faire. Je précise que je n'avais pas touché à mon compte en amont.

Today I have experienced a problem downloading new messages, bulk, trash or anything else in my mail server into thunderbird. it requires my primary password and then my regular password. I just set up my primary password so I understand why it is asking for that, but I don't understand why it is also asking for my regular password before I can get access to the mail server that I am using. the regular password was set up on 6/17/24 and until today it was working fine.

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

Thunderbird--All of my current year INBOX emails disappeared. I have tried repairing the folder, deleting INBOX.msf and restarting including in troubleshooting mode, reinstalled Thunderbird. None of these actions changed the situation. Is it possible to retrieve these messages?

The INBOX folder is much larger than the INBOX.msf folder, so I'm thinking the message info is in there?

I;m using Windows 10.

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
