For about the past 10 days or so Tbird has been presenting me with a request for my user name and password for, i am assuming, inclusion as an added account. They want

The problem is that in have no idea who caldav is or where they got my link to Tbird. My concern is that this may well be malicious. They want me to authenticate with username and password. What user name and what password?

Does anyone in the forum know what this is all about and how i can get them permanently excluded? With all the fake / criminal challenges on the net these days, i am very nervous (77 years old).

Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you

Hi everyone, I am a rank beginner and not very 'computer literate.' I want to download all of my emails from Thunderbird (I have 4 email accounts) and also export them to an external drive, including: All emails (entire history, not just recent mail) All attachments Metadata (dates, sender/recipient, subject, folder info, etc.) Contacts / address book Ideally, a format that I can restore later if needed. My main questions are: What is the best step-by-step method to export everything to an external drive? Is there a way to do this so that the backup is complete and restorable later? Where does Thunderbird store emails on my computer, and can I copy that to my external drive? Is there a recommended way to export contacts too? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, jrm Thunderbird version: 147.0 Windows (64-bit) Email type: IMAP

Hello:

I use Thunderbird for work. I have several email accounts configured in it, including Gmail, my company's email, and Outlook. I recently added a new Outlook account, and I haven't been able to send a single message. The error I'm receiving is the one described in the title. It's worth noting that I have another Outlook account working perfectly. I've tried every solution I've found online, and none of them have worked, including enabling SMTP in the account settings, making sure OAUTH is enabled, using smtp.outlook.com or smtp.office365.com instead of smtp.mail.outlook.com, enabling two-factor authentication, changing my password multiple times, etc.

What font can used in Thunderbird that will display a capital I with top and bottom bars? Otherwise it's impossible to determine whether the letter is an capital i or the letter L.

I get a pop up message from Thunderbird stating the the connection to server pop.earthlink.net was reset. I have to reboot my PC to be able to download emails. Is there a setting I need to change? Thanks.

Normally I use thunderbird via a spectrum isp. Am currently out of the area and am using a cyber street isp. I can receive emails in thunderbird but can no longer send emails. Server SMTP settings appear to be correct. server: mail.twc.com port: 587 connection security: STARTTLS

I get this message when trying to send an email: >>>> Sending of the message failed.

An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: p-impout001.msg.pkvw.co.charter.net cmsmtp 68.68.205.174 blocked. Please see https://www.spectrum.net/support/internet/understanding-email-error-codes for more information. AUP#Out-1130. <<<<<

Spectrum help tells me that since I can send emails through their web mail interface, that the problem must be with thunderbird. Not sure I believe them, but here I am looking for suggestions. Thoughts anyone?

hello,

i am trying a second time to submit my question:

how can i migrate 3 months of prior thunderbird emails from a docked ssd to the ssd installed in my computer. please see attached photo.

the migration must be done without creating duplicate emails for the months of January 2025 through August 2025. more importantly, i don't want to disturb or lose the emails of December 2025 and January 2026 that are now on my computer. so my simplistic analysis is that i have to be able to move hand-selected emails from the docked SSD to the SSD installed in my computer. otherwise if i move an entire profile, it will erase my current profile that includes December and January emails.

thank you

Currently using Thunderbird 147.0 (64 bit)

What I want to do is move messages between folders and subfolders without triggering automatic downloads. In this case, I want the folders to be local only and not saved on the server.

When I moved messages as described, they first seem like they are moving okay. My target folder shows the correct number and the source folder appears empty. Then, the messages re-appear in the source folder. The target folder still shows all the messages but if I repair it to ensure it is okay, it gets reduced. Only some of the messages are moved. No warnings are given that repairing it would cause a problem. Since this is a local action would I would expect it to be relatively quick. This also triggers a download from the server to the source folder every time something is moved.

I have tried changing synchronization options to offline but that doesn't have any effect. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, along with the explanation of what may be causing this behavior.

I started using Thunderbird in hopes it would remove emails from specific email addresses because I don't want to sort through junk emails. The filter I created is not automatically deleting them but If i run it manually it does. I've attachedd a screen shot showing my settings. Am I doing anything wrong? My understanding it that Thunderbird offers this functionality but please let me know if they do not.

By right clicking an image, there is a menu which has more options, and in more options there is "send to". By clicking "mail recipient", a dialog opens up to select the file size preferred. Then click attach. At this point, in windows 10, the email is ready with attachment in Thunderbird. Now, new PC with windows 11, when I click attach, the dialog disappears, but no email appears in Thunderbird. I have checked settings, and Thunderbird is chosen for .eml and for MAILTO Does anyone know how to make this work in windows 11?

I moved to a new PC and copied my thunderbird profile for my emails. I do not have access to my old PC at the moment. Is there any way to "log out" or disable the emails on the other PC by deleting the thunderbird profile access or similar?

I could go manually through google to log them out, but it will also remove the access on the new PC and in this situation there are a lot of accounts and the setup is a hassle.

Is there an easier way to block unwante senders than the extra effort to create a filter ? It seems there should be an easy way to "Choose or Apply a Block to a specific email sender by simply clicking on a "BLOCK" link to prevent that sender from sending unwanted emails(not just that email)

Hi,

      I have a Microsoft Exchange hosted email address with a (mycompanyname.com) domian.   I can check this account via Outlook, but I love Thunderbird so much, I want to sign into this new company account too on Thunderbird.    I know I need to do it via the Exchange Web Services but I get an 'unable to log in at server' error.     See the screen shot attached, is my login field correct?   What should the login field be?  Willing to try any suggestions please!  Thank you,

Hi, I'm surprised to find that by clicking several times on 'annull' on Tb sign-in, anyone using my PC gets access to my mails. The only way i've found to protect my mails is the password on Windows lock screen. I'd like to protect my mails as with other accounts eg Firefox password.

My archive folders have gone out of order alphanumerically. I have tried right clicking the account and selecting "Reset Folder Order" but this has no effect. I have also tried moving folders manually and found that certain folders refused to move. Also after a restart all the folders I have moved appear at the end of the list of folders. This is very inconvenient as I have built up a large number of archive folders over the years. I am on the Release update channel and my version of Thunderbird is up to date (146.0.1 (64-bit)). I haven't been able to upload ab image because I get contstant error message "Error uploading image".
