I-Thunderbird Community Forum

Thunderbird continuously asks me to log in to an email account that no longer exists whenever I try to compose an email. I can send emails just fine on my Chrome web browser using Gmail, but I really like do all my emailing using Thunderbird. Specifically the error message states, " Login to server smtp.gmail.com with username mikeromano.1185@gmail.com failed." Please advise how I can fix this. Thanks, Mike Romano

My father recently passed away, and both of us have been Thunderbird users for a very long time (Agent Forte before that). Can I move his Thunderbird profile so that it is incorporated into mine, with all his old emails? In my profile, I already have three different email accounts listed, with their own inbox and their own sent box. I would love his emails to be like that, so that I can download emails sent to his address from my profile, but they remain distinctly within that account? How do I do that? Thank you!

I've signed up for the Thundermail.com beta account. I want to know how add a new email address to that account. Not an email address from another provider, one of the up to 15 separate addresses that the offer supposedly includes. I realize they will all deliver to the one Inbox, but I'm trying to dump multiple old gmail accounts and convert to Thundermail wihtout losing the other "aliases". THANKS!

my inbox folder and all folders below it has dropped down about 7 folders from right below my email address. how to get it back up to where it has been for years? thanks, [redacted phone# from community support forum]

I've tried the recommended solution for this problem--changing the "security.tls.version,min" from 3 to 1 without luck.

I don't have a problem with Apple Mail on my iPhone.

When I try to access the web version from my Windows machine using Firefox I receive a message "serious security issue with webmail.dca.net. When I try it from a MAC, using Firefox I am able to access mail.

Thanks for any insight you can provide

I am working with thunderbird on two locations and have problems moving contents between address books and entering new contacts into address books.

On location A I have created a mailing list X under my personal address book. I could fill it by copy/paste address and name from mails received. Then I created a cardav address book Y and somehow (ctrl + left mouse?) succeeded to drag and drop the entries from X to Y and synchronized it with a nextcloud cardav file.

Now I went to location B, created a cardav address book with the same credentials as on location A and got the Y addresses synchronized.

So far, so good.

Then I tried to enter new addresses in location B into this Y online address book. Problem - I could not find a way to add new contacts into a line with copy/paste like into the X mailing list in location A. New contacts could only be added via the "New Contact" form, no copy/paste.

Then I created a mailing list in my personal address book with the same name X. I could not find a way to copy the content of the online address book Y into this list (on location B). When I tried with ctrl-left button drag and drop, the target mailing list X was forbidden. Only copying to my personal address book would be possible. But at least this mailing list X offered again the copy and paste possibility in one line, but unfortunately the list was empty.

Then I tried it with export/import. I exported Y from the online book to a vcf file on my computer, then tried to import the file to my mailing list X, but I could not find a way to import the file to the mailing list X.

I can create a new address book and move the contents of the cardav book to it. But adding new contacts is possible only via the "New Contact" form where I cannot just copy/past addresses from emails.

Any suggestion how I can work with my mailing list contacts on both locations and easily enter new contacts with copy/paste from mails without having to use the form?

I hate Thunderbird since the new update. and don't know why they had to screw-up something that worked perfectly fine. Very frustrated!!! and don't know how to fix it without removing my account, saved passwords and all the other advice online. I never had a problem with Thunderbird and have used it for many years.

Auf der Öffnungsseite erscheint normalerweise links ein schmaler Streifen mit den ganzen Ordnern, wie Posteingang, gesendet usw. mit der jeweiligen Anzahl der E-Mails. Im übrigen Feld rechts daneben sind alle E-Mails einzeln aufgeführt. Jetzt erscheint manchmal auf der Öffnungsseite eine andere Ansicht, ähnlich wie die Konteneinstellungen. Mit mehreren Versuchen kreuz und quer gelingt es dann wieder die normale Ansicht zu erhalten. Vermutlich habe ich mal irgendeine falsche Taste gedrückt, so daß sich die Ansicht plötzlich geändert hat. Könnte sich das Problem lösen, wenn ich Thunderbird neu installiere oder gibt es eine einfachere Lösung?

can not get my email account a us.exg7.exghost.com set up inTthunderbird. acts like it set up the outgoing server but not the domain or in comming server.

show me how I can persuade Thunderbird to recognise my mail address, as it always has in the past. This started on 17 October, when internet hacks were reported. Possible connection?

With Google traduction: I've changed my password four times using an Infomaniak email address ending in @ik.me, and it's never recognized! What should I do? Thanks.

Normalerweise habe ich die klassische Ansicht, links die Ordner mit der jeweiligen Gesamtanzahl der E-Mails und rechts alle E-Mails einzeln mit Text aufgeführt. Jetzt seht das nach dem Einschalten von Thunderbird so aus: links nur teilweise die Ordner ohne der Gesamtzahl der E-Mails und rechts eine Ansicht ohne alle E-Mails und nur einzelne Nachrichten, wie Neue Nachrichten verfassen, Nachrichten suchen,Filter für Nachrichten verwalten usw. Manchmal kommt aber die richtige klassische Ansicht zurück, wie jetzt gerade, später ist diese Ansicht wieder weg für längere Zeit. Ein Benutzer hat mir schon geantwortet. Ich habe alles ausgeführt, wie bei Ansicht Haken vor Konten/Ordnerliste. Das Problem besteht aber weiterhin. Ganz oben am Rand stehen bei Suchen die zwei Kästchen - STRG + K, die gehen aber nicht weg. Ich vermute, daß ich irgendwie eine falsche Tast angeklickt habe so daß die richtige Ansicht gehemmt wird. Es isr wahrscheinlich ganz was einfaches, ich weiß aber nicht wie und was tun. Hilfe wäre gut.

Hello My previous computer has crashed. C:/ is not available any more. In my previous computer, I had two hard drives: a C:/-drive (an SSD) where Windows and other software were installed, The second hard drive was a conventional drive (D:/) where I stored all my files, documents, images, and so on. On this d:/ I also had several programs installed including Thunderbird. On that previous computer, I saved and organized my emails into subfolders within Thunderbird.

Is it possible to recover my address book in Thunderbird? Is it possible to find/recover my saved emails? Could they perhaps be saved somewhere on my previous C: or D: drives?

I have an old copy of my C: and D: from 2025 I have also a complete copy of my D: from my old computer.

I have now bought a new computer and installed Thunderbird. I would be very grateful if this could be resolved. Kind regards Anders Quant

My e-mail stopped working a week ago. I get as far as "connecting to IMAP but then get a "Login to server imap.orange.fr with username [redacted]@orange.fr failed" message. I have changed the IMAP and SMTP passwords several times but none seems to work. What am I doing wrong?
