After my Thunderbird auto updated to 128.5.0esr I have trouble getting emails. The server times out, but if I click to retrieve quickly after that I get my emails. Server provider says their logs do not show any problem at their end.

Thunderbird recent Nebula esr updates have failed. So I have downloaded latest updates and reinstalled with same selections. Update history shows no updates installed yet!

Since latest Version 128.4.4esr Build ID 20241118214310 email access does not work after initial open or log on Startup. Get New messages All accounts or each Account show no activity. I now need to quit/reopen again to start receiving messages, then all continues well until another update or log off! It often takes a day before I notice no emails then I get 100+!

I am having difficulty with send and receive from a second email address provided by an organisation. Could you provide details of how to delete the 2nd email address currently on my installed version of Thunderbird (128.5.0esr 64 bit).

After deleting I will wait for Support team to resolve their end of the issue before I reinstall the 2nd email account

I'm getting the error when synchronising outlook email accounts that states "The current operation on 'Inbox' did not succeed. The mail server for account- Outlook responded: User is authenticated but not connected.

The email account was synching well until I updated recently to v128.4.4esr.

I searched around online and have tried the following suggestions: - network.dns.disableIPv6 -> true - delete outlook mail account and re-connect - clear startup cache

Email errors started occurring on or about November 25, 2024. Multiple calls and tech support with Spectrum techs and hours of troubleshooting brought about O results. I obtained all necessary protocols for configuring email to Spectrum requirements and for sending and receiving, but I still get outgoing errors. I have been using Thunderbird for 5 years or more now and never had any issues until now. Upon inspection through Thunderbird tools/setting/ looking at "SAVED" passwords, I no longer see "IMAP" or "MAIL" access protocols. It was there previously. I also disabled all my firewall and vpn settings and still cannot send out any emails. I have thoroughly checked out both my personal email setting and my small business email settings and everything as it relates to Spectrum is correct. Spectrum said one thing they found was that the email settings (specifically, would not resolve with the server because of a syncing problem). Spectrum did all they could to resolve on their end, but the issues, as they see it now resides on the Thunderbird side. In an effort to resolve the issues, the Spectrum tech looked and looked for a phone number for Thunderbird and said this is the first time he has never found a number that one can call for some sort of assistance. Emails directly to Thunderbird are very, very slow. And to compound the issue, there are no lists I could find is a repository for error codes and no valuable tech support or specifications could be found that provides any real help for resolution. So now I am making a last ditch effort to contact Thunderbird for a one on one phone conversation that will resolve all the issues I have encountered. Hopefully with your immediate reply, we can resolve these issues and I will be able to help others resolve these same issues. These issues are not just isolated to me. There are literally hundreds maybe even thousands of people out there with the same issues. PLEASE contact me asap. Thank you for your time. (PS. I do receive some messages via email, but sending out is the issue)

Firefox/Mozilla/T/Bird: When I open my inbox my emails showup. However when I click on the individual messages some open "normally" and are immediately accessible while others showup with msg notification on a black background with identifying subject but I am unable to open the content of the msg, When I click again it again the screen goes blank and back to mozilla. When I try to "Delete" I have to click on "Inbox" again and all of the unaccessible/unreadable msgs are deleted. Help Thanks Patrick

Ever since the new version of Thunderbird I cannot send emails. I can receive them but not send them. I have found that if I temporarily disconnect my VPN, it sends OK. Your failure to provide software that can co-exist with a VPN without crapping itself is a poor advertisement for your product. I have read some of the millions of posts about this particular bug and your answers seem smug and lazy without addressing the problem.

I am running Thunderbird 128.5.0esr (64-bit) on 2 computers: a lenovo T480s and an HP EliteOne 750 Both are running Linux Mint 22. Both use gmail with the same config.(see pic). Comcast is my ISP

Problem If the computers are connected to my router by ethernet cable both can send emails

If I use WiFi neither computer will send. The "send" popup just spins.

I can send gmail from my iphone over the same wifi network

I tried hooking the computers up to a hotspot from my iphone; neither will send

Any ideas?

A few weeks ago after an automatic update I ended up having Thunderbird version 131.0.1 installed, I have no idea how this happened. On opening I get a message telling me I shouldn't be using a beta version and that I should revert to the latest general release version (128.4)

Today when I had some free time I downloaded 128.4 and installed it. On opening it it says that I can't use a profile file from a later version with the earlier version. Is there a way to recover from this WITHOUT having to set up the whole profile again from scratch.

Meanwhile I have done a system restore so I am back with 131.0.1 It has not given me any problems so far. Is there a new general release version imminent that will get me back on track?

I would appreciate any help I am not a computer expert, just a user, and find Thunderbird a very good email client.

The global search in TB is completely defective. I am now running 128.2.0esr and hoped that update might fix it. It hasn't. I just wonder, are there any older or non ESR versions I can downgrade/move to, where the search is fully functional?

My ISP has changed the server settings but when I change the IMAP server setting Thunderbird asks me to restart and then restores the original setting. I want to keep my othr setgs and address books.

How do I fix this? I am using Thunderbird portable 1.8.2.0 and this is all in my Dropbox

Every time I open Thunderbird, and every once in a while after I dismiss it, I get a popup window asking me to allow Thunderbird access to my Google Account. The account it is asking for does *not* have an associated Gmail.

For extra context: This email account used to be run though Google, but I switched providers since it was a custom email with a custom domain. The email also has an associated Google account for other services.

I have tried selecting both deny and allow on the pop-up window. Deny just closes the window, which reopens after some time. Accept causes my email to get a security alert that says Thunderbird now has access, but the window still appears again after some time. I am not sure of how long either of these options last before the window pops up again, and I'm not sure if there is a real difference in timing between the two.

I have also tried closing the window without selecting either option, with the same results.

I did delete and set up the account again once, to no difference. Also, I'm not seeing anything in the settings of the account that would suggest it belongs to Google, but I am also not the most savvy when it comes to these things.

Please help, this has been bugging me for months and I would really like to not have to keep dealing with it.

I recently had to change from Thunderbird to Apple Mail. I'm trying to move my local folders to iCloud, but I don't see any way to do that.

I'm using a MacBook Air on Sequoia.

Hi all,

I have been having a recent issue with Thunderbird build 115.4.1 (64-bit). I've attached a picture. Every 24 hours or so I have to approve a security exception for my pop accounts. I have the make permanent check box checked but it keeps happening. This has been happening over the last 3-4 weeks. I am using Windows 11 (23H2). I've played with lots of different settings but nothing seems to fix the issue.
