Thunderbird Community Forum

For years, I have been routing all my Gmails through Thunderbird very seamlessly. Then my computer crashed.

Nothing on my hard drive was retrievable...so I had to download Thunderbird onto my new computer. I then proceeded to move all my Gmail to this newly downloaded Thunderbird. I had many different files in Thunderbird on my old computer, so everything was tidy and easy to find. When I opened Gmail after losing my old computer, I was relieved to see that the files, and the way I had them organized was the same. So, I assumed it would transfer over to the newly downloaded Thunderbird that way.

However, when I moved all my Gmails to the newly downloaded Thunderbird, all 3200+ Gmail emails were lumped into Thunderbird's "inbox".

What can I do to get everything back into their folders like they were before?

I have a number of email addresses and access them via Thunderbird. One of these email addresses always asks for my password when I send an email from that address. This doesn't happen for the other addresses

I was having massive issues with TB when it auto updated from 142 to 143. Then last week, just when I thought I had everything restored, the damn program auto updated to 144.

I still can not "delete" messages or send anything.

I downgraded to 140.3.1 at least with that version I could delete messages. But I still could not send anything. TB send would time out and a window would pop up asking me to "sign in with my ISP".

And like others that have posted, I too lost folders on the new updates.

This whole series, 14x is a bust IMO.

I have several e-mail accounts on my own domain, via GoDaddy. They suddenly switched their e-mail server to Exchange, which forced me to switch from Thunderbird to Outlook. Can I switch back, yet, or can Tbird only handle one Exchange account?

I am temporarily using Win 10 (with security updates) but will regain access soon to a PC that can run Win 11.

Not receiving GMAIL account messages.

Cannot send GMAIL account messages

Recently started receiving this error message.

"Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: Try again later, closing connection.. " -- This is the full message on screen.

Have tried all the standard "fixes" suggested on Mozilla-related help sites.

Even tried AI solutions. None work.

This happened about a week ago, as well.

Then, a couple of days after, Thunderbird came good and was working as it should.

Come this Monday, it's stopped working again, as per last week!

Is this a GOOGLE issue?

Nothing is working to solve the problem.

Now stuck with no email function on Thunderbird (Desktop PC Win 11)

NOTE: occurs on my Apple IOS, using MS Outlook, as well?!?
