I am having severe problems downloading and syncing my emails with TB 142.0. I opened TB this morning, for example, and it took more than 20 minutes for it to download my emails. When I go to the next email, it takes a couple of minutes to load it. I have had some issues with slow syncing before, but this is very bad. I note that the emails work fine on my phone. Also, this happens on my main Gmail hosted account, but also on my other Siteground hosted accounts. TB seems to be lost in some kind of loop when syncing.

Spell check in not working. I am running version 142 64-bit and use windows 11. I have checked both the boxes for check before sending, aand enable as you type. I have aslo selected a British language. i have also done a restart on Thunderbird.

I lost about 1 year of emails from pop3 account. Thunderbird lost my profile (started 1 day and it was at blank profile) and I imported an older backup .default I found. But I cannot find the profile anywhere that has the missing emails. What can be done, extensive searches for .default have been already been done?

I can sign in to Mozilla but not to my email- I get this message: Login to server mail.bigpond.com with username dla456xx@bigpond.net.au failed. I am on Win 11 on a HP laptop

Hello,

Thanks for previous assistance on this topic but the structural issue remains. I am able to add certain email addresses to my Address Book and then modify those entries so they appear in my addressing hierarchy with tags and names as I need them to be.

But in the attached examples, you will see that some email addresses from the same domain add, and others do not allow me to add. This has the unfortunate side effect of having an Address Book that is 70% usable and 30% in complete chaos because the manner in which many incoming email addresses are structured is often of no use in trying to keep order.

I attach multiple examples of the problem. The prior suggestions of turning off email address and showing User entry name only does not really solve the problem when I am unable to modify an address that is not actually saved in the Address Book. I have also tried multiple times deleting Thunderbird and the related entries for IMAP mailboxes and abook.mab address books. I even rebuilt the entire mailbox to see if that would help. Nothing worked.

This was a problem some time ago, and then it disappeared and now it has reappeared again. Assistance from the expert users of Thunderbird would be appreciated.

My version of Thunderbird is 142.0 and I am using the Windows 11 Operating System.

Yours sincerely, Mansoor IJAZ

Currently, the latest version is 140.20esr. Since the middle of last week, there has been a phenomenon where unsolved and unprocessed appointments set in the calendar settings are no longer displayed in the next day's alerts.

Hi

I'd appreciate some help.

I have already set up two Mailcow email accounts in the same profile in Thunderbird. I want to set up a third but I've lost the "add an existing email" page. How do I find it again? I've checked the file menu or the three dash menu on the top right of the page and the option is missing.

How can I find it again?

Hello. I have a strange problem. I have the latest Beta version with an IMAP account running fine. I need to add a second POP account. When I go through the motions of New Account > Email, the 'Account Hub' box appears were I can enter the name of the account and the email address. When I click Continue, I get two green ticks and it says Looking Up Configuration then it changes to a spinning blue circle. This stays like this indefinitely. I click the escape key to close the window.

Then if I go back to the New Account > Email procedure, it takes me back to the same box with the spinning blue circle and I can't start the process again. I have to restart Thunderbird to try again, but it still won't work. I have tried starting in Troubleshooting mode and disabling add ons but like the blue circle I am going in circles.

I have two computers and on the other one I have the original Release version. This adds the second POP account with no problem.

I am on Windows 11. Can anyone suggest something to try?

I have several email accounts and they all work as expected, however I have two with similar but different domain names that automatically link for some reason.

Both are associated with my website and I am using the email service from my host. One goes to foo.com, the other to foo.net

I have recently moved my website to another host and had to setup my emails again. This should be a simple task of changing the servers in Thunderbird, right?

So I did that, but the SMTP server and email address keeps switching to the other account.

I set up foo.com with my email address and password, then I go to foo.net and it has the .com info already there. If I change that to the .net info and go check the .com account, it has been changed to the .net info.

I tried reverting the .net account back to the old server, but it copied that info right back to the .com account!

There is a dropdown box on the main Account Settings page where you can choose any account for your SMTP, but it only displays one of these, whichever one is currently filled out.

How do I un-link these accounts? They were not previously linked in any way - they each sent emails from their own .com and .net accounts.

Kinda been a comedy of errors. Wanted to set up a mailing list in TB. Started in CardBook. Too uncooperative. Was advised to use "regular" TB. PAB did not have the entries I needed, so was advised to copy entries from Google Contracts address book. Didn't know I had to hold down CTRL key and I ended up MOVING them, which emptied all my Google Contact from the Google Contacts address book. Tried to sync to get them back. Didn't. That address book is linked to https://www.googleapis.com/carddav/v1/principals/dalemwebb****@gmail.com/lists/default/. Can't seem to get them back. What am I doing wrong/what do I need to do.

My thunderbird account stopped receiving emails yesterday and is giving the message:

"Thunderbird The certificate for pop3.exemail.com.au is not valid for that server. Someone could be trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue."

Mails are still going to the Webmail account and my husband has an exemail account with the same settings that is working correctly.

Exetel is in the process of selling its email service to a third party but this isn't final until September 8, will moving to the new provider fix this issue or is there something else I should be doing?

Att made me change my account password. Now Thunderbird cannot access messages. I have entered the new password in out going and incoming but there seems to be more to this than that because nothing happens. Where do I have to put in new passwords? Thanks so much. Marjorie

The last version of Thunderbird provides support for logjam patch, which my email service, Spectrum, does not and refuses to support. As I am forced to retain Spectrum, being an apartment service, how can I revert to a prior Thunderbird version that does not support logjam?

Had these accounts for years on Thunderbird.... New dell computer. downloaded Thunderbird...keeps asking me to enter new password deleted old passwords. cannot get it going..

Randomly one day my thunderbird says "Login to server pop.centurylink.net with username vxxxxxxx@gulftel.com failed." My user and password are correct as is my server settings. I contacted centurylink and they told me its on mozillas end and unfortunately mozilla doesnt have a customer service number. I've tried deleting and redownloading Thunderbird, deleting the account and readding it and it still wont let me access it.

In an IMAP account I can create subfolders in all folders except the inbox. Subfolders created in the inbox become folders at the same level as the inbox. TB 140.2.0esr Screenshot of server settings, advanced attached.

Thanks
