I have successfully added 4 email accounts in Thunderbird (on Mac) 144.0.1 but I am having issues with an account on the Ionos server. Basically Thunderbird's automatic account adder is unable to find the domain and just shows a spinning wheel. I'm fine adding trhe account manually, but I cannot find any way of by-passing the automated system. Help please! Thanks David

Hi all! I use Thunderbird on my Desktop for work-realted e-mails, therefore I have different e-mail accounts linked to it. I recently bought a new laptop and when I tried to enter my work-emails, by pressing "New Account" -> "Email Account" I am met with a new interface that does not provide an option for the manual configuration of IMAP, Incoming Server, Outgoing Server etc. Without them, I cannot access my work emails.

Can anyone help me how I can access these configs? Or the previous interface?

Unfortunately, the screeshot is in german, but it says "Exchange auth error"

Bonjour, impossible de créer deux comptes différents orange dans thunderbird depuis mon changement de PC W11. Cela fonctionnais parfaitement au paravent avec W10. Merci pour votre aide. Cordialement,

I am trying to sign into my Proton mail account. On the Thunderbird app, I tap the Menu and select Settings. Then, I select Add account, type my Proton email address, and tap Next. The "Configuration found" screen is displayed. I proceed to type my Proton password correctly and tap Next. Then, there is an error that says "Checking incoming server settings failed". Does this mean Thunderbird does not fully support Proton mail?

I've been trying to add a new email address/account on Windows 11 with Thunderbird 143.0 (64-bit). I've never had an issue adding email addresses/accounts previously. . I continually get this error message: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIMsgAccountManager.createIncomingServer]

I can log into this email account on roundcube (email client) without any issues using the same pword, but when I try to set up this email on thunderbird I get this error.

I get this error at the final "Enter Password" screen and can not finish the setup.

Thanks in advance for your help

I am trying to set up an additional mail account to my thunderbird account and it wouldn't allow me to do so because I believe I needed to create a one time password for the thunderbird account so it would recognize it. I created the one time password in my mail account but I don't know where to enter it when I go to add the additional account.

I use the same e-mail address on my desktop and my Samsung android phone. I was told to change my desktop e-mail from POP3 to IMAP which I did and then told by the Thunderbird desktop forum to change also my phone settings from POP3 to IMAP. I was told in order to do that I needed to create a new account first and then delete the old account.

However, when I go into server settings and I put in my e-mail address from my desktop, it states "e-mail address already in use". Clearly I do not want to create a new e-mail address - just use the same e-mail address that is on my desktop so that I can access e-mails on my phone that appear on my desktop. Help please!

Hi,

Just converted to Windows 11 this passed week and downloaded Microsoft PC Manager to assist with disc cleanup. This last piece of information is highly significant I think.

I believe one of my initial runs of PC Manager may have deleted some data from 4 of my 5 email addresses that are generally used with Thunderbird mail.

The reason I say that is that 4 emails forced a login with full name, email address, password and IMAP default settings when I attempted to log in with each affected email separately yesterday.

Not really looking for any help as I think I shot myself in the foot unwittingly with PC Manager.

More a heads up for anyone who uses disc cleaners and decided to switch to a Microsoft design that isn't really intended for the masses, - or people who have used PC's for 30 years!

Oh well, live and learn ...

The Virgin.net server closed last year and my virgin.net account cannot receive emails any more. How do I change my details to my new email account to log into Mozilla. You always send a code to the old address if I try to get a response from you.

I tried to add a new account with PROTON mail and it didn't accept it. Can it be done? Is there a problem? The goal is to have 2 accounts and not just one. Can you fix it?

Every time I close out of Thunderbird I lose one of my email accounts and have to reconfigure it each time. I looked through the settings and can't find out how to keep that from happening. Any input?

changes in account settings do not save after closing thunderbird. when re opening the setting are back to previous settings.

In particular is the "attach the signature from a file check box and the file path in that field. changing the file....works as long as program is open. same with the check mark on or off....but as soon as you close the program and open it again the check mark is back on and the same old file name and path are there.....even if I delete the file completely from the computer...

I'm unable to access one of my email accounts on Thunderbird. I put in all the correct settings multiple times and it keeps telling me I must have the wrong configuration.

I want to close one of my email accounts but it is the one to which Thunderbird sends me emails, such as info about updates etc. I don't want to close the account and then find I get no information from Thunderbird. How can I change the email address that you use for me?

Apparently y-all aren't to smart to understand the your customers do change their telephone numbers and email address from time to time. It appear to be to smart to have instruction to alert you customers to the location of the forms to be used to change passwords, customer names and email address. ya think?????????????
