Cannot get online mode to send message. It is NOT a matter of a menu item hidden.

"Automatically follow detected online state" does not work for Yahoo SMTP server after computer turned off and Internet connection lost. And now no pop up appears to add a newly acquired Yahoo password in order to send a message.

After computer turned off, SMTP always requires a new 3rd party password from Yahoo. IMAP never requires updated password from Yahoo.

Hi - I can't seem to delete from my Yahoo Mail via Thunderbird.

With Yahoo's new mailbox limits I wanted to clean up my Yahoo mail box and Yahoo obviously does not provide any decent tools to support search and delete.

I downloaded Thunderbird and despite several deletion attempts my Yahoo mailbox still shows 160,000 emails whilst my Thunderbird client only 9,000 - so when I delete it is not syncing.

Most emails are deleted from Thunderbird however some are now reappearing (in Thunderbird). No deletions from Thunderbird are reachign my Yahoo mail inbox, however I can send emails from Thunderbird and see the sent and received email in Yahoo and I can add folders in Thunderbird and see those folders in Yahoo.

I tried several things

- immeadiate delete in Thunderbird - moving the emails to a folder in Thunderbird and then deleting from that and then deleting the the folder - I check this article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo and everything appears correct

I've had to pay for extra storage to get the code to make this post.

So I have a list of folders some of which are the default folders some are custom created.

When I try to re-order these it is very hit or miss: I select a folder, drag it to where I want it to go, wait for the blue placement line to appear and it may or may not re-locate. Or I simply can't move the folder I want to move and so I move folders around it in order to achieve the layout I want.

It is as if success depends on whether Thunderbird is in the mood for a particular move to happen and I find it really frustrating. It should or shouldn't work, it shouldn't be that it works sometimes.

What is going on with this?

Earlier this week I replaced my router and modem with Spectrum's latest equipment offering higher speeds and a back up battery. Sometimes the outgoing emails come back unsent with the same message as others I see have noted. Error occurred while sending and I am using the same outgoing - mail.twc.com, for the outgoing server. I found that if I try to resend 2 or 3 more times the email does finally get sent. And yes my incoming emails come through without an issue. Also, for 2-3 days after making the equipment switch, when Thunderbird would check for emails and there were none to download, I would receive a message to check settings and that it was unable to connect. However by day 3 and 4 after the new installation I no longer receive that extra pop-up message that only started occurring after the equipment change. Any thoughts? Or is it Spectrum? Terri

Wise, a currency transfer business, claim to have sent me several emails as part of a two stage verification process. But they never arrive! They will not accept that the problem is at their end, they say it must be my email programme which is Thunderbird. I have searched everywhere but they aren't to be seen. They say to look in my spam folder but Thunderbird doesn't have one - Thunderbird flags up what it thinks is spam, (usually correctly), but still deliver to my Inbox. Has anybody any suggestions as to what I should do? Until I login, I cannot use my account.

Hi , I am using the MacBook Pro M5 which is running with macOS Tahoe 26.5 . I have installed Thunderbird mail with version 150.0.2 . After the initial installation with only one account with few mails in the inbox I found the App opening time is abnormally high & is more than 1 minutes . I have removed the mail App few times & re installed it ( even I have re download the app from net again) , but the problem remain same .

I have removed the old folder & files from - ~/Library/Thunderbird/ , ~/Library/Application Support/Thunderbird/ , ~/Library/Caches/Thunderbird/ , org.mozilla.thunderbird from ~/Library/Preferences/. before the re installation & re started the laptop , but no improvement in results .

Also in mail setting references → Unchecked the option - Enable Global Search and Indexer Disable all Extensions and Themes under Tools → Add‑ons & Themes (No Extensions is installed) .

Just to inform that the apple mail is working fine in this laptop .

After all the above trails the results are same , the app once quit & re start - it takes around 1.5 minutes to open after which the app works normally with out any problem . Please suggest if any solution is available for this problem . Best Regards Gautam Banerjee

Suddenly Thunderbird takes a long time to download even a few (10-20) emails from Gmail and then it freezes on an email and as I click on different emails only the original one shows on the bottom half of the screen, even if I change to a different folder/email account. Also it will not close when I hit the X in the upper right corner.

If I click on one of the other apps, such as Calendar it goes to calendar but when I go back to email it still shows that same frozen email.

I tried clicking on the three bars (hamburger) to find the Thunder version and nothing happens.

I have restarted the computer but that has not helped.

Other than being slow to download my emails now for a few months, TB was performing well until a week or so ago. Now it also won't open the downloaded email when I click on it and the TB freezes up so I can't close it out. I have tried restarting computer multiple times and it works for one or two emails that I can open and then starts freezing up again. Makes using it almost impossible. I have security Windows 11 Defender only and have had it the entire time when it also worked well.

Hi, i'm wondering if there is a way to get rid of this "account". If I understand correctly, it is used for outbox (before mails go to the sent folder of the proper account), and also used for default Archive destination. I understand why this would be required for pop3 accounts but i'm using only IMAP or Exchange. I'd rather have my archived mails go to the Archive folder under the proper account too.

I'm using Thunderbird from a little time anmd I have a problem with "Unified Folders" After installing it, I added my 10 accounts one by one and found out a problem. Simply Thunderbird doesn't want more than 1 "yahoo" account. I can enter even 15 accounts and Thunderbird can manage all the accounts with "Unified Folders" without problems and I see all the accounts. But if I were to add another "yahoo" account, Thunderbird no longer handles it with "Unified Folders". In fact it disappears and I only see it again if I activate "All Folders". I can't understand why. Maybe I need to setup something on yahoo? Can I solve this problem? Thanks PS: I speak italian.

I just got a new computer and when I download e-mail on to my computer, it stays on the web site and when I get e-mail later that day, the previous e-mails I downloaded are still there and they are now duplicated on my hard drive. I get hundreds of e-mails per day and besides being a hastle, I will reach my quota pretty quickly. Thank you. X@riseup.net

Since this didn't happen with my previous computer, I assume some setting got changed. I hope this is one of those easy-when-you-know-how things.

The oversized menu box cuts off the the "Save" key and I can't re-size the Message Filter/New Filter box nor can I slide it up for access to the button on the very bottom. Windows 10 Home, Version 22H2, Installed on 9/14/2021, OS Build 19045.6466.


I've tried a dozen fixes suggested by Duck AI and none had any effect on the Filter box. Here’s a concise list from Duck AI of every fix I tried:

   Hold Shift while opening the Filter menu (compact popup).
   Shorten long filter names (Tools > Message Filters).
   Change system UI scale (Windows Display scaling).
   Toggle toolbars / layout to reclaim space (View > Toolbars / Layout).
   Use Tools > Message Filters dialog (resizable) instead of the menu.
   Add userChrome.css rules (multiple variants) in profile/chrome/userChrome.css to force max-height, scrollbars, reduced font/padding:
       Generic menupopup rule (max-height: 420px, font-size: 11px).
       Targeted rule including .filter-menu-popup and #createFilterFromPopup (max-height: 300–520px, font-size: 10–11px).
       Final variant replacing values with 360px (no effect).
   Attempted diagnostics via screenshots and Developer Toolbox (Ctrl+Shift+I) — determined screenshots showed Filters dialog, not popup.
   Determined the "Create Filter From" list is likely a native Windows popup (userChrome.css cannot style).
   Workarounds proposed:
       Use the resizable Message Filters dialog to create filters manually.
       AutoHotkey script (Ctrl+Alt+F) to open New Filter and pre-fill From/To/Subject from the selected message (provided full script).
