Hello, I recently deleted all my emails by accident, but have read that they are still in the mbox file. I have changed the x-mozilla-status to 0000, and I have broken the file up into six parts to make it editable on VIM.

The file is all over the place... blank lines missing, names missing.... but the file is recognised in Thunderbird and shows a few hundred of the emails...

By dividing up the inbox, each of the smaller files shows about 350 or so emails. But not all. The importing seems to stop after a multi-part mime message... no messages after that are recognised.

I have found python scripts like mboxsplit.py that say they will separate the mbox into individual emails, but it is also not recognising the emails after the mime fault.

Does anyone know of a code that will just recognise the From - line and split that way?

I can't find any splitting solutions that don't try to read messages or understand mboxdr format. I just want to separate text, save as different files.

My email is driving me mad! I can receive emails no problem, but can I send them?? No. It just keeps timing out. Very annoying, I've been through every possible support forum and tried everything, I've increased the timeout time, I've checked the SMTP is all right, it is, I've deleted my account and the programme itself and reinstalled all to no avail. Very frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Whether I use the "reply" menu or "Reply" buttons a new email is created but there is no email address shown for the recipient. This has only started happenning after I upgraded to version 52.1.1

Every time I start Thunderbird, I get the "System Integration" notification box even though the "Always perform this check when starting Thunderbird" option is NOT checked. Please let me also clarify, I DO NOT want system integration. Therefore, I have unchecked all boxes that are not greyed out and chose "Skip Integration", since there is not a box for "Do Not Integrate". Can someone please tell me how to stop this aggravating box from continuing to show up, without integrating Thunderbird or resorting to a different email client.

I am running: Operating System: Windows 10 Home Thunderbird: 45.5.0

Since the last update I can´t connect to my yahoo mail. I have tried with my gmail and hotmail mails, and they work fine, just the yahoo one doesn´t get conexion to the server.

I have checked if I could still get in the mail through the yahoo website and I had no problems, so it´s something that has changed with Thunderbird.

I use a vpn to mask my IP address. When I am connected through my VPN I cannot send emails from my gmail or yahoo accounts through thunderbird If i disconect vpn they go through fine

When "Real-Time Scanning" is running, Thunderbird goes to "not responding" for a minute or so and CPU usage often goes to 100 %. If I turn off "Real-Time Scanning" TB seems to work okay, but I expect I am vulnerable to viruses. This problem has been going on for a couple of weeks.

I used to use "Avira" with no problems but McAfee is provided "free" to subscribers.

Two days ago the same e-mail settings that have been working for a long time stopped working for my outgoing e-mail. My ISP is GTT, and they employ a group in Pune, India to take care of e-mail. The group has recently "made some changes" that have apparently caused my problem. That group DOES NOT support Thunderbird - they will ONLY support their own WebMail. Apparently the same settings that used to work no longer do - and the new settings suggested by the Pune group work fine with WebMail but NOT WITH TB. They say it is a TB problem (which they created).

Error Message: "Sending of password for user (** e-mail address) did not succeed. Mail server (**) responded: Invalid password or username" My understanding is that many GTT customers are having this problem. Thanks!

I've just installed Firefox for Android (v.66.0.5) from Google Play Store onto my Samsung Galaxy S10e (running Android 9). Installed OK and browser works fine, but results will not scroll vertically or horizontally. No similar problem with other apps. Is there a bug or am I missing something ?

Dear Friends,

I can Email my wife at [elainefraser43@hotmail.co.uk] from my Gmail account:

I can Email myself [ralphfraser1@talktalk.net], which is on "Thunderbird", from her Hotmail account:

BUT, when I attempt to Email HER via "Thunderbird" my Emails are rejected, and I get the above-mentioned Unknown address error 550-"SC-002 [COLO-MC3-F42] failure message!!

This is all WELL above my head!!

Please can you explain what needs to be done here???

Regards,

Ralph Fraser

I tried searching the FAQs and did a google search first. This did not work, all I discovered is F9 turns the contacts sidepane on and off, but doesn't fix the problem with the pane being wrong.

Until a very recent update (last week or two at most) when I hit write, the contacts pane in the write window showed my address book. Now it shows some type of search I can't use as I have to see all the entries to see which ones I want to send an email to. In some cases I have multiple entries for a person based on them having multiple email addresses for different types of email. Trying to remember which ones I want DOES NOT WORK for me. I can only get this behavior back by running in safe mode. As an alternative I need Thunderbird to save my safe mode setting so I don't have to reconfigure safe mode every time I have to reboot windows or restart Thunderbird. I currently have it coming up in safe mode by default

I tried to remove and then install an older version of Thunderbird and the bad contact pane on the left was there. I can't find any setting to change the pane from the wrong one to the old one I need. I'd rather not try reinstalling win7 pro from scratch to fix this, assuming that would fix it.

I'm running windows7 pro 64 bit

I have been on ATT support all day wo luck. I can receive just fine, but suddenly can no longer send out e-mail. (I can if I go to ATT page directly, but not with Thunderbird). I have had my password on ATT changed - and it acts exactly the same - I can receive but not send. My settings look OK to ATT: outbound.att.net, port 465, SSL/TLS and normal password. Every time I get: "Login to server outbound.att.net failed."

Thank you for any help!!!

Win 7 Pro 64 Thunderbird 45.8

Subject: Account Settings -> Server Settings Occurrence: after update to 52.1.0 (32 bit)

My default setting was unchecked 'Automatically download new messages' and checked 'Fetch headers only'. After automatic update to 52.1.0 I could no longer download full emails from my email server by clicking on 'Download the rest of the message' hyperlink. However option 'Get selected messages' works and is active (available) from the start. I know this bug (inactive 'Get selected messages' after opening of Thunderbird) was on the Mozilla's back burner since ancient times :).

Setting opposite to default: checked 'Automatically download new messages' and unchecked 'Fetch headers only' loads emails without the problem but is potentially unsafe.

I have three email accounts and need to add a fourth, but haven't been able to. When I click the "create a new account > email" button a screen comes up with two buttons, and neither button works. They're 'clickable' in that they change color, but there's no way to move away from this screen and neither button brings up a new window. Once I get here I have to force quit the application to get off this screen.

I'm on mac os 10.12.4, using Thunderbird 52.1.0. I updated thunderbird, uninstalled and reinstalled, and no luck. Any thoughts?

I have used TB in Linux Debian for several years. Three days ago it was fine. Now suddenly when I try to get messages from my Hotmail account, I get a black window saying something to the effect that the server may be offline. (It disappears too quick to be able to quote it accurately.) But the messages are downloading OK to my smartphone (not using TB). And I have connected directly to the Microsoft Outlook server, and my Hotmail account is up to date. It seems to be a TB problem! I reset the Hotmail account password in TB as suggested on one of the TB sites, but to no avail. I also disabled my firewall, again to no effect. Please can someone help? (Incidentally, when reseting my Password, I stupidly failed to set the option to record it in the TB Password Manager, so it no longer appears there. I would be grateful also to know if the pw. can be added retrospectively to the PW Manager in TB, and if so how it is done.) Tom.

When sending emails - I receive the message box: Log-in failed (In Danish Log-in mislykkedes). See first image file. Further, Log-in to the server asmtp.telia.dk failed (but written in Danish). I am a Telia customer, and the outgoing server name is correct. I click the button in the middle; "Type in new password" - next file picture comes up, named "SMTP-server password is required". I type in the, correct, password for my e-mail account at Telia. - Tried both variations of clicking the box to ask the password manager to keep the password - and not clicking it. - And click OK. No difference. Then it returns back to the first image file again - and so it goes into circles again, again and again! In Settings, Security, saved password menu - both the in-going and the outgoing servers are correct - see third picture, and when I want to see the passwords they are equal and correct. I also attach a screen shot of my SMTP settings. I have tried to disable and enable the firewall and my antivirus program, but no difference. I use Bullguard 18.0.346.2 version. I can send e-mails from other devices from the same e-mail account and server, but not from Thunderbird, so it must be a local problem here. I use Windows 10 home, version 1709. My Thunderbird is 52.6.0 (32-bit). I had the same issue for a few days ago, but only once, first time for about 2 years usage of Thunderbird, but typing in the password in the second image, solved the problem and it has been running for a couple of days until now when in runs in circles. So, what is wrong - and what to do? Thanks in advance.

When I click on account setting I get a small box labeled account settings with one button with a drop down arrow which works and gives a selection of: Add an account mail account, add chat account, add feed account,add other account or remove account. I cannot see any other settings

After opening Thunderbird it is fast for about 30 seconds and then becomes really slow.

Typing a new email makes the typed letters appear a few seconds after typing them. Selecting a few emails in my inbox takes half a minute. Thunderbird is regularly 'non responding' for a few seconds.

Even moving through the menu bar is slow! It takes a few seconds for the mouse to catch up!

The rest of my laptop seems ok, it is just thunderbird which is slow.

I have tried to start Thunderbird in Safe-mode, no difference. I have tried to start the laptop in safe mode, no difference. I have tried to start the laptop and thunderbird in safe mode, no difference.

I always empty my junk and trash and have compacted folders.

All my 6 configured accounts are setup as IMAP.

I really don't want to make my inboxes smaller as I have a regular need for the old information.

Please help!

Kind regards,

Iwan

Hello,

After upgrading my Thunderbird install to version 60.2.1 on my Xubuntu 18.04 machine, I cannot access my mail anymore, because there seems to be a problem with passwords.

Symptoms:

- When starting Thunderbird, I get an "Enter your password" box for each of my accounts even though I had my passwords saved.

- When I go to Preferences -> Security -> Passwords -> Saved Passwords, the list is empty.

- When I try to enter a password and save it, it does not actually get saved and Thunderbird will ask again soon after.

- The following line is logged to console a whole bunch of times:

JavaScript error: jar:file:///usr/lib/thunderbird/omni.ja!/components/crypto-SDR.js, line 179: NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Couldn't decrypt string

Other findings:

- Downgrading Thunderbird to 52.7.0 fixes the problem. The old saved passwords just reappear again and Thunderbird has no problem logging in.

- Starting Thunderbird 60.2.1 on a Windows 10 box with exactly the same profile folder works fine. It can read the passwords and access my mail accounts.

Can you please tell me what to do to fix this, so I don't need to keep using an old version of Thunderbird just to access my mail?

Thanks,
