With the moving of Cox emails to Yahoo would it be feasible for Thunderbird to put an instruction list(with screenshots) of how to get all our TB email accounts from Cox to TB? Do we have to delete all our TB email accounts and re-enter them into TB under the new Yahoo or can we just change the server settings on the existing Cox settings? If just changing server settings what are the settings for the new yahoo? All my accounts are IMAP so if instructions could be made, maybe one for IMAP and one for POP for those who use either. Thank you

Hi my email address (all services) has been migrated to a new company so I've got a new server name and new imap and smtp port numbers all of which has been duly filled in in the correct boxes (as far as I know). The new server name is mail.mail.coop the old one is smtp.iomartcloud.com. Everything seems to be working ok, ie. there's the new account listed in the left-hand window with all the folders and subfolders and all the emails in the correct places, all working fine inc. send and receive. The old iomartcloud account is still there just above it with all the folders etc. but no send and receive because the service has now been closed by the server company (all my emails have been transferred to the new server. If I go to my webmail page also all is ok inc. send and receive. I have set the new mail.mail.coop as the default and I've been trying to find out how to delete the iomartcloud one.

The problems I have are two: 1. I can't seem to find any way to delete the iomartcloud account from thunderbird. 2. Whenever I close and restart thunderbird it's forgotten the mail.mail.coop account/identity. I have to go to new account > existing email (my email address hasn't changed) and put in name, password etc. It all works fine again but next time I close thunderbird......

I know the server is ok and I know the passwords, port numbers, server addresses, etc. are ok because it all works fine each time I create the new account (for the 50th time!), so there's some other problem I haven't yet identified. I've searched on this forum and elsewhere, and hunted all around the settings menus but to no avail.

I wonder could the two things be connected? If I could delete the old account maybe it would solve the other problem. Note that both the email address, name and password are the same for both accounts, only the server address is different (and the port nubers maybe as well). And could the second problem be to do with the security settings of my browser or os? (brave browser, linux zorin os).

Sorry rather a long post! Hope someone can help me! Justin

Hi, when I try to upload a file such as my resume to a job board it won't open my file location on my device. When I click on the websites upload button it doesn't do anything. I have tried on many websites with the same outcome. When I go to the same websites using Chrome it works.

I have an insane amount of crashes i have tried everything i think my pc is just damaged either windows or disk or viruses i have no idea?! all my browsers same issue including firefox

Archiving older messages:

I know how to archiving a years worth of messages -- one message at a time, or by selecting a hundred messages at a time IF they are all in the same folder. A painful way to archive dozens of folders full of a years worth of messages.

Why should I be forced to drop into a folder to select the messages? Why not provide a mechanism to archive FOLDER?

I'd really like to select Local Folders (recursive) and hit A to archive -- and be allowed to select Messages older than.

This allows mail to be stored/archived easily by year - and keeps the active Local Folders small and resilient (keeps Thunderbird from being overwhelmed with large folders that seem to bring the app to its knees.

CVE-2024-4367 has been announced several days now with MITRE and CIS. There is also an issue/advisory on the github repo for PDF.js which appears that the fix has been merged into the master commit of PDF.js (https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-wgrm-67xf-hhpq).

The vulnerability is pretty serious and yet there is no Security Advisory from Mozilla on affected versions, etc. (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/)

Is this normal and I am just being impatient?

I've been using T-Bird for some time now with no problems. Yesterday Xfinity wanted me to change my account password, which I did. This morning I tried to check email and got an error message stating the incoming mail server didn't accept my password - the new one I'm assuming. After several tries I switched it back to the old password which still didn't work. I'm giving T-Bird the Xfinity login password -- is that correct or is there something else that T-Bird is looking for? As a side note -- I just spent 8 days in the hospital and they've got me on a medication that really messes up the higher functions of my brain. I feel as though I'm in a heavy fog and half asleep. Any help would be appreciated... and THANKS~!

I just set up Thunderbird today with my O365 e-mail for my small business. I am able to receive e-mails correctly, but I am unable to send outbound emails. I double-checked the mail server names and the ports. Please assist.

Thanks!

For some time now, I've been experiencing the following issues with PiP:

• The floating window opens in a random (and annoying) place and does not place itself automatically on the lower right corner as it used to (where I always move it, so it has no memory as it used to)
• It's impossible to keep the "always on top" mode on by default, and I have to do it every single time
• When I toggle windows, the PiP window is always the next one, even when it was not the one I switched from, and I have to always toggle twice for switching between two windows when I have a 3rd PiP window
• When I change language using the keyboard shortcut, it changes the language on the PiP window, and I have to use the language icon bar. Then, the PiP window becomes activated, and I have to toggle back to the window I was working on before (on which I wanted to change language). I have the "separate languages for separate windows" option activated.

It's been some months now, and all those things were working before an update but never came back...

Does anyone know if there's a way of fixing these issues? I've tried things I found online but nothing seems to work.

Many thanks

Hi! I have trouble setting the date format in the emails list. It should be the UK format as per the setting selection, however it is showing the American format. I am using Linux Mint and timedatectl says Time zone: Europe/London (BST, +0100)

I have attached screenshots. Please let me know what am I missing. Thank you.

I have read the instructions offered in the FAQ's but is not clear to me. when I type in my filter name and then select "+" after the email addy I get error about filter name already exists...

My e-mail inbox shows a high gigabyte use-age rate, but I only have a few messages in there. I get my messages a couple of times per day and delete emails I don't want to keep. Now it will not get all my new messages as it saying I have run out of disk space. It seems that messages I delete don't really get deleted?? even though they go to trash and I clean the trash folder. I have tried compacting but that didn't work. It seems to be only on my win 10 laptop, as my XP computer is working fine. I have plenty of disk space left on the hard drive. Thanks in advance Bob Parkman

Hi,

I have just setup a new Office 365 account in Thunderbird and when I try to send an Email from the account, I get the attached error message.

When I click on "Enter New Password", the window goes away for a moment and then pops up again. There is no chance for me to put in a new password.

I know that I need to use an app password when not using Outlook which I have generated in my Microsoft account settings.

I have tried to go to "Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Saved Passwords" and have deleted all Microsoft related saved passwords. When I access my Email account again, I get prompted via the web login of Microsoft (i.e. different from the attached error message) and the app password I generated doesn't work, only the general password for my account works.

I have restarted Thunderbird and updated to the latest version, but it made no difference. I have gotten it to work on another computer, but on my mac mini, it doesn't seem to work.

Before I remove the account completely and add it again, is there any way I can fix this as I don't want to download all the messages again?

Is this a known bug in Thunderbird?

If any developer is reading this, In order to reproduce, you would have to follow these steps:

- Setup a Office365 account using the regular password used to login to the O365 website. - When sending the first email, enter the same regular password -> the first time, the dialog to enter the will show up, but it will fail, because the app password wasn't used - Then try to send again, click on "Enter new password" -> no dialog to enter new password is coming up.

I am using Thunderbird 115.10.1 on MacOSX Sonoma 14.1.1

The settings I have used are: server name: outlook.office365.com port: 587 username: my full email address Auth Method: OAuth2 Security: STARTTLS

Thank you for reading this. Looking forward to a reply.

Hi,

My question is this: when visiting websites all Icons appear like in the screenshot: replaced by gray shapes.

Anyone familiar with this? Perhaps a solution? Would a reinstall help. Any suggestion is welcome.

Greetings,

Ronald

I can receive emails but cannot send. The error message I get when sending emails. This began as of the most recent Thunderbird update:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <mjndoug22@me.com>... Relaying denied. IP name possibly forged [70.109.132.97]. Please check the message recipient "mjndoug22@me.com" and try again.

I tried to attach/imbed a screenshot of my SMTP server settings but your Browse button below won't allow the paste.
