Use the X-Note addon, and has worked fine for ages, but reinstalled my system, and now the font for XNote is almost unreadable - Cursive, of some sort.. How can I change this? Thanks.

Hello community,

at my place of work no one can send or receive mail anmore using Thunderbird. The problem suddenly appeared last monday. No changes regarding the network or settings in Thunderbird happened prior to this.

Here's what I tried so far and things I can rule out:

• same problem appears on all devices (desktop and laptop PCs) in our office
• our work mail server is online and working, I can access everything using the webmail-interface in the office network
• new installation of Thunderbird without any profiles and fresh account confguration doesn't solve the problem
• I can connect to our mail provider and send and receive mail when using my home network or my personal phone hotspot
• I can connect to my private mail provider using Thunderbird while in the office network
• troubleshooting mode doesn't solve the issue
• renewing the internet connection on our router temporarily/once allowed some devices to receive mail
• pinging the mail server (mailserver.[workdomain].de, no specific port) via command line was successful while Thunderbird was unable to connect to the mail accounts

IMAP-Log returns the following error codes:

• D/IMAP URL failed with code 0x804b000e
• D/IMAP URL failed with code 0x804b001e

I would be glad if somebody could help me out. If you need any more details I'll provide them. Thanks in advance!

We use Thunderbird because of its flexibility across multiple OS and interfaces. We have only one PC using Windows, and that is a Microsoft surface running Windows 11. On that machine, emails are, from time to time, delayed, sometimes by 12 hours or more.

The emails come through normally on Android and Linux machines, and we had no difficulty on the Surface until we upgraded it from Win10 to Win10. The emails can also readily be accessed using a web interface to the provider's Apache server. Meanwhile, asking Thunderbird to get emails consistently reports "No new emails".

This is a very intermittent problem, with no discernable pattern to when it happens, or how long the messages get delayed.

Can anyone give me some pointers on where to start troubleshooting this?

I am getting a lot of phishing emails. They all come from email addresses from "onmicrosoft.com". These I can find pretty easy. The other thing they have in common is this URL/'server name' in the Message Header "send.workwithshadow.com".

Is there a way to search and/or filter for text in the Message Header?

Thanks, Walter Cook

My recollection is that prior to a recent automatic update to Thunderbird 140.12.1esr (64-bit) when I had a message composition window open, there were "SEND" button and possibly a "SEND LATER" button (to the left of the addressee and cc addresses in addition to the keyboard shortcuts (CTRL ENTER and CTRL SHIFT ENTER).

Following the update, there is no longer anything to the left of the addressee information. I have checked the toolbar menus, and there do not appear to be any button options. I can still send messages, but the lack of the buttons is a hindrance.

I permanently deleted all my emails in my inbox and all the folders underneath is there a way to get them back? Can you force a download to this computer, [redacted]@peoplepc.com, from say 7-9-26? I am hoping to God you have a back up.... I lost so much stuff that I need.

When email downloads from my internet server to thunderbird how do I indicate that the message is to be deleted from the server. ie I dont want the message to be in two places . At the moment after reading the email and saving it to a folder I have to log into my internet provider and delete the email.

Thunderbird Send message Error Sending of the message failed An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Must issue a STARTTLS command first. For more info, go to https://support.google.com/a/answer/3221692 and review RFC 3207 specifications. ffacd0b85a97d-47aa0f2186bsm33992962f8f.36 -gsmtp. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

Note: I could not find the suggested specifications as indicated in the error message!

I did not change anything, the sending error occurred suddenly , all my settings IMAP Mail Server Port 993 SSL/TLS OAuth2 and SMTP Port 465 are still set to default. I changed also the SMTP to an new shown default 587 but non of this settings resolved the problem

I have a similar problem to others reporting a connection time-out. But the circumstances now seem different. It is getting worse. First thing today, I noticed that Thunderbird emails (current/up-to-date version) were taking several minutes to finish sending. After sending 3 successfully, but slowly, all further emails failed, as per image attached. My wife's computer, using the same email provider, etc, was working okay. I checked and compared the account setting, and they were slightly different (no idea why) so I altered mine to match the other PC. That didn't make any difference anyway. Then (a few hours later) my wife's PC started having the same problems as mine, as if it's a spreading disease. Could it be a virus? Thanks.

You sent me a message: Did you sign in to Mozilla? Help us keep your account safe by approving your sign-in on: plus an "authorisation code", but I do not know how to use this.

Each time I attempt to login w/ T-Bird, google mail gives me this message:

400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know.

I'm getting off a Verizon phone account and want to export my contacts before I do. I use an (old!) iPhone 8 so I can't export using their Verizon Cloud app because my operating system is too old. Is there a way to import into Thunderbird using a USB cord? Or is there a recommended non-evil app that could allow me to do the same with my phone contacts?

Hi David This is the last attempt I did but it failed. Enclosed is the screen shot you have asked for. Keep in mind my WIN 10 has 64 Bit but the last update from Thunderbird was 32 Bit

I have not been able to log in and operate my personal email on Earthlink.com for about the last 6 months using my MacBook Air. It refuses to accept my many valid attempts over the months to update the email password. To overcome this difficulty, I have updated all 140.12.1esr (aarch64) involved software, still to no benefit. My wife on her MacBook Air has been routinely checking my Earthlink email as she and I (on my MacBook) have been able to do with Thunderbird for over 20 years. I find this very frustrating and tiring.

  I hope some of you out there have a working solution for me.  It will really uplift my life !

Thunderbird functions normally (sends/receives), except after Windows 11 goes to sleep, I log back in without difficulty., but attempting to use Thunderbird to send email fails with the message

"Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.mail.me.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. "

There's no prompt to re-enter the primary password, and the only way to restore normal Thunderbird operation is by rebooting WIN 11. Is this a known bug with a workaround? The failure occurs whether the outgoing server is smtp.mail.me.com (Apple), smtp.comcast.net, or smtp.gmail.com
