I received on 2024-09-25 about a dozen messages from various senders in my Thunderbird mailer from the University of Calgary mail system, around 2 p.m. and at least 50 emails in about a 12-hour period starting on Sept. 19 at about 2 a.m. that had recognizable sender names and subject lines as well as time and date stamps, but were either replaced by text from emails sent years earlier or corrupted (encoded?) in some way. For example, the email below was supposed to be from "Physics and Astronomy general announcements" on 2014-09-25, 2:15 p.m. but note the date in the header. This corruption of new emails is happening at irregular intervals, and I would very much like to know why and how to stop it from occurring. It seems to me that there is replacement of the contents of new emails with old, possibly compacted, email contents, if that makes any sense. Emails read on my account at the University of Calgary webmail system shows no such corruption, so it appears to be a problem on my Thundermail mailer. Look I like to use Thunderbird as opposed to a clunky Microsoft system, so

any help would be appreciated.  Thanks for your attention.

Hello,

My client has a specific problem with Thunderbird, when he does something with mail for example moving it to a certain folder or deleting one, all emails disappear, then when he restart the app all emails show up again and that mail is not deleted/moved, I tried all of the suggestions in the attachment and problem sometimes disappear for 1-2hrs but always occurs again. Also Thunderbird generated 50+ Inbox folders by itself and it keeps making them all alone. I assume the problem is with some corrupted file but his thunderbird backup is about 50GB and he needs it all to be imported. It really drives me crazy.

Thank you in advance for your support, Hope we will solve this issue.

When I select multiple Inbox messages and right-click, there is no choice shown to delete all of them. Please see the uploaded images.

Thanks for your help, SweetTasha

I tried changing the authentication method to OAUTH2 for my Outlook live mail account (POP). For that, I had to change the server name to office365.com. After restarting Thunderbird, I was able to download new messages but all the old messages already stored in Thunderbird disappeared, even though Thunderbird still shows the same old Local Directory as being used.

How do I change the authentication to OAUTH2 & get my old messages back?

If I delete & again create the Outlook live account, would it effect my old mails/filters ?

I have Thunderbird V115.15 in Windows 7. Last week it stopped working correctly. Now if it starts a download from gmail it fails saying the account is being accessed by something else (but it isn't). Then when it does try to download the messages I either get 3 to 10 copies of every message or every message is blank and from a blank sender. Right now it is reporting 542 messages being downloaded but all are empty with no from info and those messages are from a week ago.

I am pulling my hair out trying to get this back to functioning!

Thank you

I'm running thunderbird 128.3.0 ESR.

Are there keyboard shortcuts for creating headings and lists in HTML messages? You can walk through the menus

i.e. to create an h1 you can do:

1. select text with the keyboard; 2. press "alt+o, p, 1");

Would be nice to be able to:

1. select text with keyboard; 2. press control+alt+1 for h1, control+alt+2 for h2, etc.

Similarly for lists:

1. select text with the keyboard; 2. press "alt+control+l"; 3. press enter to get next item; 4. end with two presses of enter

Perhaps I missed this in the shortcuts help article?

Thanx for any info.

Hello,

I want to import email addresses into an existing Thunderbird mailing list. I know how to import and create a new list, but not sure on how to add to an existing list without manually tying in all the information.

Thank You,

I have several POP Mail Server accounts from which I download emails to Thunderbird, including two accounts with Gmail and two with Zoho. I have them configured the same way on both a desktop and a laptop computer.

Up until Sept. 26 all were working fine. After that date, however, I've been unable to download mail from Zoho on either computer, even though I still can download from Gmail. Strangely, I get an error message when I try to download using the desktop computer, but don't get one with the laptop. In neither case, though, will the Zoho email download. The error message, titled "Error with account Zoho_cof", says:

"Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox."

I have plenty of disk space on both computers and have not changed write privileges.

Since the problem is restricted to Zoho and occurred simultaneously on both computers, I thought the problem lay with Zoho. They, however, claim that the problem lies with Thunderbird.

I've attached screenshots of the configuration page for one Zoho account (which stopped working) and for comparison one Gmail account (which continues to work).

I've run Thunderbird in Troubleshoot mode and still get the problem. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to what to do? Thanks!

Whenever I try to send an e mail or reply to an email I get an error message telling me that the Connection to the Outgoing Server SMTP was lost in the middle of the transaction. I have check with my ISP (Telstra Australia) and there is no fault at their end. The account settings in Thunderbird are correct and I have the latest version. I can receive e mails but cant send any. This problem has only occured in the last couple of days. Can you help please.

I have two iCloud mails in Thunderbird. The older one runs great. For the other new one - same settings - mails sent often appear totally blank in the sent folder. Going to the iCloud webmail, sent messages appear totally normal and mails are sent to destination without any problem. I tried everything, no avail. Also weird is I have two "sent" folders (for no clear reason). Both have this issue, not always. See screenshot of iCloud webmail.

This is what most of my received e-mail messages now look like:

<td align=3D"left" bgcolor=3D"#ED3B30">

Some e-mails can still be read but the message is from a previously deleted e-mail and is not what the current e-mail is about. (A message from a previous e-mail has been inserted into the body of the new e-mail and the info. in the new e-mail has vanished.)

Can someone help me? Thank you.

Is there something more I need to do to "enable GPGME"?

I tried to update my email password and when Thunderbird prompted me for the new password, I entered it but now I get a message stating that Thunderbird could not connect to the server. I have looked at several other posts describing a similar problem but so far have been unable to solve my issue.

My Thunderbird goes through periods where it can receive but not send emails. I am presented with the following message, see attachment. The number may vary but the message is always the same, I am being blacklisted. Can anyone tell me way this is happening, and what to do to fix it, Please? As far as I can remember, it sorts it self out, but it hasn't for over a week now and it is really frustrating. Thank you for reading this plea. Regards Ilio Pieroni

Hello Matt, this is Ilio Pieroni thanking you for explaining that my problem was caused by VPN doing a very good job in masking me out of existence, and being blacklisted. The moment I turned it off, every worked again. I contacted bitdefender, including your response. Waiting for a replay. Thank you again Matt, much appreciated. Regards Ilio Pieroni

Starting on 10/01/2024 Thunderbird no longer allows me to send or receive email.

When I try to read messages using Thunderbird, I get the following: Sending of password for user XX@msn.com did not succeed. Mail server outlook.office365.com responded: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

When I try to send messages using Thunderbird, I get the following: Enter your password for XX on smtp.office365.com:

I have tried redoing the password and it does not help.

This is on a WIN/10 system. I updated to the latest version of Thunderbird and it did not help.

I checked out Thunderbird on my WIN/XP and get the same results as with WIN/10.

When I use Firefox and login to https://outlook.live.com/mail/0/, I can send and receive email as before. The same is also true with my Mobile Phone.
