It used to be a rare occurence, but now every single time I close TB and shortly thereafter, during the same session, I try to re-launch tb I have to call up Task Mgr and kill thunderbird.exe. It is an annoyance which I would like to get rid of. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have reset the password a couple of times on advice of Rogers, but that did not any good. Then Rogers gave up and said to talk to Thunderbird, since I can only send email using the same Authentication, when using my cell phone or their email address on their website. Today It was working intially on both my PC and Laptop and Cell. Then it started failing on all. After resetting the password for the first time, it worked on the PC and on the Laptop, but not on the cell. Then I reset the password again and then it was working on the Cell and the PC but not on the laptop. Then the PC stopped authentication too. Now only my cell is working. I can only send email from my Rogers account on their website or from my cell. That's when Rogers decided that it was out of their hands. Someting may be wong with Thunderboid...

Emailed pix cannot be opened in PhotoShop. Message is: "Could not complete your request because a JPEG marker segment length is too short (the file may be truncated or incomplete)." .jpg files open in iPhoto via Mac Mail and can then be opened in PS.

Tried to open with several programs: Adobe reader 11.07 , PDF architect , all gave a "damaged" error. OS is Windows 8.1 Imap e-mail protocol Forwarding message to another PC was no solution, only the IPad opened the file(s)

Yesterday I upgraded Thunderbird from version 30 to 31, now while I writing messages the autocomplete for addresses is extremly slow to suggest contacts. If I enter only a letter in the destination field, thunderbird hangs for about twenty seconds and after show me the suggestions. Typing two letters quickly, thunderbird hangs for 13 seconds. typing 3 after 6 seconds All tested even in safe mode I have a local address book with about 9870 contacts (no remote address book) and before the upgrade everything worked fine

Linux TB31.0 Not aware of this problem in prior issues! Problem occurs when starting to type receipient in "To" box. Have "Home Address Book" no "Personal Address Book" no "Collected Addresses". Should I export and rename "Home Address Book" then import it back in as "Personal Address Book" to be properly recognized by the auto-completion "To" entry?

Using TB 31.0. When I hit Reply, no name is inserted in TO: and does not permit a name to be entered. When using Forward, does not permit a name to be entered in TO:

Problem started after installing TB 31.0.

I'm receiving Outlook vcalendar emails and they are not formatted in a readable way. I downloaded an add-on but now see that it only works with Thunderbird versions up to 24. I'm using V32. Is there a newer version available? Thanks!

My Address Book doesn't stay sorted. I have to view/sort on "Email" every time I need to access it. Then, and only then, can I find an email address. I have to do this EVERY time I send an email. After I return to Thunderbird, the email addresses are jumbled again. FWIW, I've deleted the address book from the Profile, and re-imported it. But this makes no difference.

I can't locate addresses in my Address Book because of a separate TBird problem that's apparently being solved by the engineering boffins, but I also have this unrelated Address Book problem. When I start typing an email address in the "To:" slot, Thunderbird completes the address since it can see it in the Address Book (but I can't). Then it jumbles the address and inserts it into the To: field. But, since the address is jumbled, it doesn't work. I have no idea that the address is jumbled. It looks something like this when Thunderbird is finished with it: "TestPerson@gmail.comtestperson@gmail.com"

Deleting and restoring the profile makes no difference, also exporting/importing the contents of the Address Book as an .ldif file makes no difference. I've asked this question before, but got no help, so I'm trying again.

When you send emails to the same people over and over Thunderbird starts to automatically what you'll guess after just a few keystrokes.

For example, if I type js it will autocomplete jsmith@gmail.com and I won't have to type anything more. In the latest update the performance has regressed from what used to be instantaneous to now a couple tenths of a second and is a big nuisance. Now I type js and hit enter I just get js. If I type js and then pause for a brief moment then auto-complete fills in.

Can you please fix this.

I use TB to carry out usenet access This has been working fine for a number of years. - so not an account issue

2 weeks ago had to do a clean install of W7 OS and thus new install of TB (ver 31.2.0)

It reads usenet threads OK, and creates posts OK .. The issue is when you do a 'Follow up' post in a thread. What happens is that the original mail changes so that text has no line Line Breaks ... i.e. really long lines of text It only changes when you click on 'Follow Up', and you can see the original text go longer than visible window.

If you try to send it fails with error that .... line length is greater than 79 characters. If you do a select all and then CTRL+R it will reformat and will send OK, most of the time (seems to fail if URL would need to be split)

Looks like something has changed in default newsreader (others seeing it as well)

I took a look and can't find a line wrap setting ..... anybody advise ?

I need to extend the time out period for the outgoing SMTP server as I'm having problems sending a file. (Yes I could use filelink but I need to send this particular file direct) I've searched for how to but can't find it. Can someone point me in the right direction please!?

Thunderbird frequently goes 'not responding' when autosaving as a draft. I'll be merrily typing away, then as it autosaves to draft, then words stop being processed, then Thunderbird goes to 'not responding' for a short while. It then responds, and part of what I was typing when it seized up appears, but not all of it (I assume, but can't say for certain, that the text that I type before it goes 'not responding' appears, but none after that).

I've looked online, but I can't find this problem elsewhere.

I've got a high spec laptop, so that's not the issue. (i7 Processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 2GB dedicated graphics RAM, etc - Windows 8.1.)

Any advice would be most appreciated! :)

Thanks! Sam

I've got Microsoft and google accounts plus I also checked my ISP account and all of them do it. After I send an item if I go and check sent items there are always two identical message there. I am running Linux Mint but I had the same problem under OpenSuse as well.

Thunderbird has begun hanging while copying messages to the sent folder. This is a Google Business gmail account I'm working with. I've tried changing the 'copy to' setting to point to the local folder and to the IMAP folder, and I've tried compacting the sent folders and deleting tons of older emails, but I still have the problem. What's my next step?

Hi,

I'm having trouble setting up the IMAP mail from my work exchange server in a fresh install of Thunderbird. Once I'd put in the server address Thunderbird retrieved all of the security settings, which I've checked agains the provided settings that are listed in the webmail. I've also used these settings to set up IMAP mail on my phone to triple check everything. However, in the account set-up screen I still recieve the message "Configuration cannot be verified - Is your username/password correct?" (again, I checked everything I was using independently and they were accepted). Once I got out of the initial set-up screen the error changed to the following:

"The Kerberos/GSSAPI ticket was not accepted by the IMAP server <my email address>. Please check that you are logged into the Kerberos/GSSAPI realm."

The only possibility that I can think of is that Thunderbird is trying to use my email address instead of the server to authenticate which is why I'm recieving the error. The mail address is xx@uu.nl while the server is soliscom.uu.nl.

Any help or suggestions that anyone has would be welcome, Cheers.
