Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Thunderbird

I am using an email server that currently is using certificates that have expired. That problem is being worked on. In the meantime, whenever I access the server to open a folder, I get a pop-up notification telling me that the certificate has expired. I go ahead and confirm the security exception and check the box to permanently store the exception. Trouble is this ISN'T being persisted, when I open a different folder I have to go through this process again in order to access my emails in that folder.

Me thinks you got a bug in your software Kemosabe!

A couple months ago, I asked internet provider to discontinue service. I continued to get emails from their server anyway. In fact, I think I am continuing to get some from them but appears they maybe forwarded to my gmail address instead of iowatelecom.net address that I was using. Now, when Thunderbird downloads my emails, first thing that pops up is a message saying "The certificate for imap.iowatelecom.net is not valid for that server. Someone could be trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue." Then, it gives me the little box with "Dismiss", that I can check. It will go ahead and download my emails into the gmail folder. The iowatelecom.net folder is in RED and no emails are going to that folder. Can I or should I get rid of the iowatelecom.net folder and if so, how should I proceed. Just don't want to mess everything up. Thanks for the help.

For some unknown reason my Karoo account suddenly refused to open and allow mail in or out. I have continually tried all all karoo's advice and getting nowhare. Please help. Campbell Whyte

Hi there,

I'm looking for a mail client, which works portable. Unluckily the Thunderbird editor is real bulls... crap and miles far away from all other mail clients nowadays. All modern mail programs can handle different font types, colors, they all support different font sizes like 8, 10, 11, 12, .... point text hight and having tools like copy formats (mostly a brush) for easy formating.

Some years ago I was using an addon, which added this feature in some parts. I don't understand, why those features are still missing. Today we have 2025 and the time of plain text mails is history since 10 years.

The rest of Thunderbird is really great, especially the portable version.

Questions: 1) When will Thunderbird provide powerful and state of the art formating stuff? 2) Is there an addon which adds powerful and state of the art formating stuff?

Cheers, Kay

Bonjour, Lorsque je me connecte, j'ai un message que me dit : User is authenticated but not connected et ceci sur toutes mes boites mails. De plus, suite à un changement d'ordinateur mes mots de passe sont visibles aves des chiffres et des lettres "1//03csgEnBPtxsaCgYIARAAGAMSNwF-L9IrjQQom22l5sXSkYLP1h4BvsYHGmRYh43NZEdtoe " Je ne peux pas voir mes mots de passe enregistrés Je ne peux donc pas me connecter à mes boites mails car les mots de passe ne sont pas valides A savoir que je suis sur certaines boites mail sur @outlook.com (anciennement dbmail)

Pourriez-vous m'aider à débloquer le problème car je suis très embêtée Par avance merci et bonne soirée PS : Si je supprime l'application et que je l'installe de nouveau, vais-je perdre tout l'historique (dossiers, agendas, contacts, etc ...)

I've been using TB for years. Recently, I uninstalled it to try other mail clients. I decided to get TB working again but I'm incredibly frustrated that I'm unable to get an outlook.com account and my nexamortgage.com account working. The NEXA account is google based and is usually quite easy. I also have a Keller Williams account that is also Google based and that worked fine on TB just before I tried to setup my NEXA account. I have tried to enter both manually and have tried multiple different IMAP, SMTP Port settings and Server settings, but nothing is working.

From the menu View - Folders - Tags i can view tags in the side bar, which is very helpful. My problem, as you can see in the picture i'm attaching, is that tags are not sorted according to the greek alphabet. Is there a way to sort tags? I'm aware that the first 9 tags are presets.

From time to time especially when I make a break and the screensaver starts Thunderbird crashes. There is a split between the taskbar of Cinnamon and Thunderbird. The program doesn't react anymore. The only way to use it is to kill it and start it again. I really don't know why this happens. It is a new phenomenon. Here are my Systeminformation: [code] System:

/code Thanks for help.

I'm back with an old problem.

When filtering email, it gets interrupted with the error message of:

"The folder "xxxx" could not be found, so filters associated with this folder will be disabled. Verify that the folder exists, and that filters point to a valid destination folder."

Yes, the folder exists.

The previous solution was to change the mail server to imap.googlemail.com. I did that, but connectivity to it has become erratic (it services Germany, Poland, and Russia).

Is there anything else I can do besides use the imap.gmail.com server and keep reenabling the mail filters?

Thunderbird doesn't carry over calendar events alerts/reminders after updates to it or reboots generally, at least in Ubuntu (24.04).

I expected my events and reminders to carry over even after updates and computer reboots. They don't. I missed an important appointment because of that oversight. Thunderbird used to work.

I doubt that there's an existing fix for this, so Thunderbird Calendar needs to be updated so that Calendar events alerts don't disappear after updates or reboots. Meanwhile, I'm looking around for email and calendar apps that don't have this problem.

Thanks
