Thunderbird Email: since Sept 2 Thunderbird update 155, my incoming emails are no longer coming into my inbox with my domain host provider webnames.ca. My other staff members have no problems since the update. The only unique thing I can think of is that with my host provider is that I automatically forward incoming emails to my gmail account. Some other staff automatically forward thunderbird email to another thunderbird email of the same domain name without an issue. I can get incoming emails from my other thunderbird accounts ending in the same domain name. The emails do show up in the forwarded gmail account.

On 3 August, Thunderbird was automatically updated on my Mac Mini to Version 155.0. Ever since, all incoming mail is placed in a folder called Satellite Radio, and distribution to the proper mailboxes stops.

Hi all I have recently installed Thunderbird on a PC that didn't have an mail program. Its Win 11 and includes Malwarebytes and Norton 360 for security Thunderbird 154.0, (64 bit)

I followed the set up as I have done many times before and previously had no problem. I am using Plusnet and have set incoming mail as POP3 on port 995. I have set outgoing mail to SMTP and port 465 ( plusnet recommended 587 doesnt work at all) I have set my login name and password. Security is SSL/TLS

Incoming mail is received normally Outgoing mail asks for my password as on attachment Entering a password doesn't work and results in another error message

Any suggestions? Cheers Keith Keith

Any suggestions

This problem happened after the September update. No changes to any message filters. I am not the only one having this problem. What changed in the update that could have caused this problem? I have had to delete the problem account from Thunderbird because every time I move the messages back to the Inbox in Outlook, Thunderbird would move them back to Delete.

Logged into Thunderbird this morning. On current version. Noticed that the local trash folder had emails in it. I have not changed any of the multiple account setting. Send some test emails fro 2 accounts and they ended up in the local folder trash. What has happened. I want this redirection to stop. What other demons have been created by the current update. HOW CAN i fix this problem?

My Thunderbird Account was updated by TB on 2 September. Since then all of my new emails go to Trash. Although I've tried the various responses to such questions, I've been unable to change the problem and get my new emails to come into my Inbox. I'd very much like your assistance please. Thank you.

Since the last (v155) update, TBird started putting all incoming email into one subfolder under my main inbox. I have several message filters that sort incoming mail into various folders. When I disabled the message filter associated with the folder in question, the email started coming into my inbox folder again. The message filter connected to that folder has not been changed in a while, and is a "match any of the following" rule with a number of specific from/contains/[text] entries. When I examined the filter closely, I found two rules where the [text] field was blank, which apparently was causing the problem, but as I said, I haven't changed the filter in a while - what recent change might have caused this? (Either adding empty fields or else considering [blank] to be equivalent to [any].)

This is probably not a T-bird question, per se, but it is so strange it seems that this might be the best place to start, hoping someone might have some insight.

My wife and I each have our own laptops, running Win-11 Pro. Each laptop has T-bird 153.2.0esr (32-bit). We each have an account to yahoo mail (the site now hosting our Comcast email accounts). No problems since ... forever. Until today.

Now, beginning today, on my wife's laptop, when she opens T-bird, she gets a pop-up logon page, pre-loaded with her userid/email address. No input field for a password, but that it not unusual, as a lot of sites put that on a follow-up. But when we click 'next', it just rejects it. We were able to log into the yahoo mail web page (in Firefox) just fine.

After a lot of head scratching, I added her account to the T-bird configuration on my laptop. First time up, it prompted for credentials, but here it accepted them. So now we have her yahoo/comcast account configured and working just fine on my laptop, but continue to get credentials rejected running the same config on hers. Again, this has been working just fine up until today.

(If you are wondering about the connection between Comcast and Yahoo, several years ago we 'cut the cable' with Comcast, after confirming they would continue to support our email accounts. Then some time ago, they off-loaded that to Yahoo, such that we were able to retain our Comcast email address, but it redirected to and is hosted on Yahoo.)

Thunderbird version number: 148.0.1 Mail provider: Yahoo Client OS: Windows 10

The issue and steps I tried to resolve: On 1 Jan 2026 I switched from Outlook client on my Windows 10 PC to Thunderbird 146.0.1. I did not import any user data from Outlook but started with a clean install of TB for the new year. I use yahoo.com with POP3 as my email provider. Server Settings: Server Name "pop.mail.yahoo.com", port 995, SSL/TLS, OAuth2 Outgoing Server: Server Name "smtp.mail.yahoo.com", port 465, SSL/TLS, OAuth2

it all worked fine and I was very happy with the setup. Then from early to mid-February I was unable to use my computer. When I finally accessed Thunderbird again, it connected to Yahoo and showed that approximately 800 email messages would be downloaded and started downloading them. After downloading about 100 messages, Thunderbird timed out and I haven't been able to get it to work since.

I have read and followed or tried to follow these articles plus others that I may have forgotten about (not listed in any particular order) - OAuth2 Authentication for Yahoo, AOL and ATT | Thunderbird Help - including all the steps in Please check the following before asking for support - POP access settings and instructions for Yahoo Mail | Yahoo Help - Automatic Account Configuration | Thunderbird Help - Manual Account Configuration | Thunderbird Help - Thunderbird and Yahoo | Thunderbird Help - Send and receive messages in Thunderbird | Thunderbird Help - Can no longer get emails | Thunderbird Support Forum | Mozilla Support - Emails suddenly stopped downloading to Thunderbird 140.2.1esr | Thunderbird Support Forum - Get Messages | Thunderbird Support Forum | Mozilla Support - Cannot receive messages | Thunderbird Help - Problem with Thunderbird working with Yahoo Mail acccounts. | Thunderbird Support Forum

I have removed all messages from the Yahoo inbox and tried to find one or more messages that may be affecting the download. I don't know the best way to determine that.

I use Windows Defender for my antivirus. I don't see anything in Defender that blocks or scans email messages which would prevent downloads, although I could be wrong about that. if this might be the issue, please provide some guidance about how to check Defender.

I have uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird. In the process I downloaded the setup file for Thunderbird Setup 148.0 and installed that version. It later auto-updated to 148.0.1. Before installation, I removed all external connections from my Yahoo account and completely removed Thunderbird from my PC, including the profile and profile.ini. When I reinstall and switch the account to POP3, Thunderbird captures the App password from Yahoo and connects just fine. But it still times out while attempting the first download of a message. The first several times it timed out, an error message was displayed but now it doesn't show anything. Except no messages are downloaded.

At this point, I don't know what else to try. Since I don't have much experience with Thunderbird, I don't know how to troubleshoot the process (logs to look at, etc.). I don't want to go back to Outlook but I need the email client to work and download messages. Any help would be much appreciated.

I've been a Thunderbird user for years without problem. However, since May 22, three specific messages continually reappear after deleting them from my Inbox.

I keep my Inbox empty and it stays that way, except for these 3 messages. Removing them from the Trash folder has not solved the problem.

My email provider is netaddress.com via POP3 account. I signed on to look at my inbox on their site via a browser, and the messages aren't there.

I have tried repairing and compacting the inbox, but the messages continue t reappear.

Do you have any other suggestions?

TIA.

Q.1. As the smtp server setting is "normal password" (screenshot 1), and I am entering my "normal" gmail password, why is it being rejected (screenshot 3)?

Q2. Why am I being asked for a "new password" (screenshot 2)?

Hi!

Trying to add new account on latest Thunderbird instillation, added information/configuration what I use on another computer and in the end it says: Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nslOService.newURI]

Checked 10x for typing errors and it says same error. These account settings works great on previous versions wihtout Account Hub

How can I solve this?

Best regards,

Thunderbird keeps bringing in emails automatically. I don't want it to download anything until I ask it to. This just started when i had to reinstall Tbird after it stopped working for me. 1. It downloads emails automatically 2. I only want emails upon my specific request. 3. I can no longer find any switch to allow me to turn of auto downloads.

As of September 3, 2026 all my new emails are going into a random folder instead of the inbox. This is also happening on my wife's PC plus and we are not getting the emails to our iPhones until we get out of Thunderbird. What has changed? This has not happened before.

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <anonymous@[10.0.0.31]>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user a1.914306843. Please check the message recipient "christine.krieger@a1.net" and try again.

why do I get this on new download

Outlook.jpの個人アカウントをThunderbirdで使用しています。 IMAPは outlook.office365.com / 993 / SSL/TLS / OAuth2 で正常に受信できます。

SMTPは smtp-mail.outlook.com / 587 / STARTTLS / OAuth2 で送信すると、 535 Authentication unsuccessful, SmtpClientAuthentication is disabled for the Mailbox. と返されます。

smtp.office365.com / 587 / STARTTLS / OAuth2 も試しましたが、こちらは接続タイムアウトになりました。 MicrosoftアカウントのOAuth2認証と2段階認証は完了しています。 Outlook Web版・新しいOutlookでは送受信正常です。 Microsoftサポートには問い合わせましたが、Thunderbird側へ確認するよう案内されました。

この状態でThunderbird側にまだ確認すべき設定がありますか？ それともMicrosoft側でSMTP AUTHが無効になっている状態でしょうか？

All of the incoming messages are going to Trash. This includes messages I have not indicated as trash. I get no new messages to my inbox. Started today, 09/04/2026.
