I have tried reinstalling the account automatically and manually no matter which way I do it it just comes up awaiting authorization then just hangs there? I have doubled checked all the settings, imap.mail.yahoo.com 993 OAuth. smtp.mail.yahoo.com OAuth 465 SSL/TLS I have done everything that I can find so am I missing something? Chris

bonjour à vous utilisateur de thunderbird depuis des années, il fonctionne très bien (j'ai la dernière version : Version 153.0.2esr | Publiée le 4 août 2026

- par contre, il me demande les mots de passe à chaque connexion depuis deux jours - j'ai supprimer le fichier key4 mais lorsque je relance rien ne change ; il demande les mots de passe de tous les comptes.

Auriez vous une solution ? merci beaucoup

I was a satisfied user of the Thunderbird e-mail client. I especially enjoyed the ability to toggle into darkmode when browsing and reading my e-mail. The previous toggle I used to activate that feature is missing, and I cannot locate a work around to turn it back on. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

My eyesight5 is pretty bad. I'm trying to make the display fonts quite large (32), but nothing seems to be working. The settings allows me to select a font and set the size from a pull down list, but nothing changes. Presentation and functional operation should be isolated from each other as possible.

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

the last few days my new mails didn’t arrive, perhaps because I tried to introduce new digital items. Please tell me how I can use thunderbird to get my mails; perhaps I have to change my settings. I find it strange that this occurs after I did a donation to you….

Regards,

I have several Yahoo email accounts. I collect all email from them using pop. A few days ago on one of those accounts, when it's polled, the message "downloading 1 of x appears. However, nothing is downloaded and eventually the server timeout message appears.

I tried the repair inbox function, it didn't work. So I deleted the account and tried to add it again. I get the error message "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIMsgAccountManager.createIncomingServer]"

However, if I select manual config and test the server it tests ok, then produces the above error after continue.

None of my other accounts are affected.

Any ideas gratefully accepted

Hi, It worked flawlessly in the previous version. In version 153.0.2esr (64-bit), I can't drag and drop messages to a folder (e.g., Desktop). Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I changed my password for Greenby/Plusnet today. Now Thunderbird is unable to connect to them. The password is correct as I can enter website directly. No problems before change. Grateful for help.

Should I reinstall?

Thunderbird has stopped downloading mail from the outlook account for my prime account, but my secondary account also outlook is OK. It kept asking to sign into my account then directed me to a web page to sign in for outlook, but it would only let sign into the 2nd account. I have tried uninstalling Thunderbird and re-installed it but still have the same problem.

Greetings,

I just downloaded Thunderbird onto my new laptop. I use AOL as my mail server (not voluntarily; they own the verizon.net email domain). This is also my 1st foray into IMAP.

On Thunderbird, there are two "Drafts" folders (identical spelling). My draft emails go to one of the two. I cannot unsubscribe from either by using the any of the methods I found on here (including: uncheck, close Subsribe, close the program, wait a few mins, then open the program). The result is that both "Drafts" folder remain on the LH panel and both remain checked in the Subscribe window.

An interesting note is that the properties of the "Drafts" folder that does not receive draft emails is: "imap://w5mt%40verizon.net@imap.aol.com/Draft" with the Name in the Folder Properties window as "Drafts" (this cannot be changed in the Folder Properties window). The properties of the "Drafts" folder that does receive draft emails is: "imap://w5mt%40verizon.net@imap.aol.com/Drafts" with the same Name, "Drafts".

Just to make things more entertaining, AOL Mail also has two "Drafts" folders; one is in the list of folders below Inbox and does not receive draft emails, the other is in the Hidden Folder List and that is where draft emails go. The "Draft" in the main folder list can't be manipulated (e.g. moved). The one in the Hidden Folder List can't be moved to anywhere outside the Hiden Folder List.

In Thunderbird, I would just like the "unused, undesired" "Drafts" folder to either be deleted or hidden. At present, neither option seems possible.

Thoughts appreciated.

Thanks Matt T

I have thunderbird installed on my PC, and my main email account is a gmail account. I download from gmail using POP protocol (SSL/TLS connection security, OAuth2 authentication). I have been using these settings for a long time (15 years?).

This afternoon, thunderbird stopped downloading my messages. No error messages : just "no new messages to download".

I can see (by logging directly into my gmail account using my browser) that there are new messages on the server. They're not spam or junk, and they're not getting downloaded into my (local) spam folder. They're not getting downloaded at all.

I still have room on the google server (it's about 87% full), and room on the hard drive on my computer (about 3 GB).

Seems like soon as a batch of emails download they all open up immediately or at least as soon as I open or delete one they all open. Never had this happening until just late this week.

thunderbird is not able to access mail.twc.com for 2 days now. Spectrum webmail didn't work yesterday, but is now functional. Thunderbird may need a fix to deal with whatever changes Spectrum made to its mail server,

Incoming mail on my windows 11 computer has begun appearing in the Sent folder instead of the Inbox. It appears to have started 7/26/26. When I right click on the message I see an option to "move to inbox again".

  This does not happen on my Macbook.

The thunderbird server seems unresponsive and doesn’t recognise my password - what can I do? I can get my emails on my iPhone, luckily, but feel safer from scamming when opening them on my laptop. Please advise - thanks. Ps I have recently donated to Thunderbird!

At one time, I was able to access my email with Thunderbird. Then Thunderbird stopped working, and I didn't have time to research why. Monday, I bought a new Macbook. After installation, Thunderbird says "account settings found." Then it asks for a password. My password no longer works. Instead, I get a message: "Authentication failed. Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." What, if anything, can I do?

In the process of changing from Windows to Linux, I have entered the details of my email account and it is fine when I press re-test, but when I press done it is not fine anymore. The email is “freeuk.com” which is still active but Freeuk itself isn’t, but the service was taken over by Claranet with a “clara.net” setting, so I imagine that may be relevant. Any help (not too technical please) would be appreciated. Thanks.
