I previously downloaded Thunderbird earlier this year. Somehow, I got things glitched and got locked out, so I bailed out and deleted Thunderbird.

Now, I've decided to try Thunderbird again, and I just downloaded it AGAIN (and made another donation), but I'm still locked out - can't get ANYWHERE with Thunderbird.

HELP!!!!!!!

Thunderbird cannot setup Outlook mailbox after upgrade to Windows 11

clearing passwords from the credentials caches in TB and windows makes no difference. Changing the password for the Outlook mail account and verifying it makes no difference.

No problem with 14 Gmail account accounts

Outlook and Thunderbird are a buggy pair. They will waste hours of your time. Experts will tell you that you’re an idiot and it’s really simple. But they can’t describe how to simply start from scratch and add an Outlook account. They just assume it works naturally for everybody because it worked for them. Maybe it does work 60% of the time. Good luck plan to spend a frustrating evening and then think about something other than Microsoft and Mozilla.

There is an old question just like this here and the answer doesn't work for me.

I would like to see my tasks appear on my calendar ie a task due on the 26th should show up alongside any appointments I have in that date slot. Google Calendar does this.

The answer to the question linked to above says to use View - Calendar - Current View - Tasks in view

I have those options and I tried them. Nothing. I have a task with a date and time on it and I am looking in the calendar for the right date and I don't see it. Is this feature still working? Is there something else I need to do to turn it on?

Thanks

I have tried to make a new folder and it never shows up. I then tried to create a sub folder and it never showed up. I don't know how to fix this problem. I started Thunderbird in troubleshooting mode and still could not fix the problem

Hey Forum, 2 problems.

1. 1. - I have been having some problems w/my paypal account. Someone has been trying to hack into it. Twice in two weeks. I talked to a paypal tech and was told that they are accessing my emails. And she advised changing my email password. I have use Tbird for several years and don't remember having a password. But if I do, where is it, and how do I change it?
2. 2 - For awhile now I have been getting an error message when trying to send an email. (I can recieve, but not send). it says: "Enter your password for ***********@suddenlink.net on smtpsuddenlink.net" Where would I find such a password and where is smtpsuddenlink.net? Also could the above problem be related to this one? They started about the same time.

Hello,

I had been using Thunderbird as my email App for very long time. About a few years ago I stopped using it, due to some annoying errors.

I installed the new version a few days ago, however I am some issues:

1. I want to change the default email composing font type and font color. I made changes in the setting and config editor as well. When I start creating an email the font type and color shown is correct. However, as soon as I start typing the default takes over.

2. I have about 50, 000 emails, which I keep for references (ATT-Yahoo). Every evening all the messages disappear, except for about 2000. Then, in the mornings, I have to restart the app and it starts to download "AGAIN". Please advise.

Not receiving email from certain "institutions;" seems OK from individuals, but can't be sure. Use Outlook address as main "give out" address. All mail is autoforwarded to a Gmail address where Tbird picks it up. Been happening for a while, but this is todays experience. Intermountain Healthcare (IHC) sent me an email with a verification code for my email address. Never arrived. Went to Outlook.live.com > not there. Went to Gmail.google.com > not there. Does this imply it's IHCs fault? REALLY having trouble resolving this. Suspected it has happened with other "institutions" as well, as phone calls indicated emails had been sent. Have created "Message filter" that runs before spam classification that moves messages from IHC addresses to my inbox, but doesn't seem to help. Any help appreciated.

While trying to retrieve new messages for one of my email accounts, I keep getting the message "Login to server xxx.xxx.xxx with username xxx@xxx.xxx failed."

I click the "Enter New Password" button and enter the same password that I use to successfully login to the account on a browser, and it STILL fails and keeps showing the same message box.

This started happening this morning. Have others reported this problem? What do I need to check to see if there is a problem in either Thunderbird or in my email account settings?

Thanks for your help!

hi, if i sync 2 t/bird installs which one will install its personal data on the other pc?. the same question also applies to my f/fox install if anyone knows

win 10 tb145.02

thanks very much if anyone knows

Over the past month or so, as often as not, when I receive an email it is immediately deleted before I can read it. I have not modified the program or installed any new software, antivirus or otherwise. Is anyone else experiencing this problem and, if so, do you know a fix? Thank you.

thanks if anyone can assist

my thunderbird freezes at the point of checking mails. when i try to update it, it opens a new application completely and doesn't update my present one. i also can't find the location of the app or the data. pls help!!!

I have just started getting this error message when sending email from my @live.ca account. I do not get this message when sending from a @gmail or @company.ca address.

Quote: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Non-Compliant sender address. Code : -1. Please check the message and try again."

I can send and receive email using this address from my Android phone or from my Windows eMail client, so why is Thunderbird causing this? I have looked through all the setting and cannot find anything different from the settings for the @gmail accounts.

Thanks. Dave

Hello Everyone,

Background: Using Thunderbird for almost an year and extremely happy with the product set. I use it to access GMAIL via POP and use the settings "After the email gets downloaded to my computer, delete the GMAIL copy" (Settings attached).

My usage pattern which changed recently: Earlier, I will always download emails using Thunderbird every day and it was working perfectly. Recently I have to travel for few days and during those days I will access my GMAIL via my android mobile primarily and I download all the emails after my return.

Current Issue: Now after I return, all the mails gets downloaded, but it does not get deleted at GMail side (online). From the time I started using Thunderbird after my return, the newer emails from that time are getting downloaded and deleted but the old emails stay in GMail. Current inconvenience is it takes time to validate if all the important emails are downloaded and I cleanup the GMAIL manually and then we are all in sync. This continues until my next travel. I tried resetting the GMAIL POP settings and there is no improvement.

Any pointers or suggestions to resolve will be gladly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
