I had an TB account with Spectrum but lost it when I didn't have Spectrum anymore. I got Sprectrum as my internet provider and am trying to create a new TB email account but have not been successful. Can you help me

On previous PC's I had TB configured to access Usenet This used: Server name: news.eternal-september.org

It would then appear in the list of accounts in the 'Left Hand pane'

I have configured (maybe not correctly) Acess, but nothing appears in teh Left Hand pane.

I attach the create account screen .. and also teh normal TB viw .. and usenet server not shown

I am using version 146.0.1. When I try to change accounts order from "Account Settings" by dragging and dropping the account and restart TB then it is returning to previous order. So I am not able to change the accounts order. Thank you. Ulvi

All the information that normally appears when one clicks on the name of an account in account settings (account name, your name, e-mail address, outgoing server to use, signature, et cet.) has disappeared on all three of my accounts. When I re-enter the information, Thunderbird does not save it.

It happens in troubleshooting mode too.

Thunderbird does still know the account names, my name, my e-mail addresses, and my signatures even though that information does not appear on the page.

How can I make Thunderbird show this information again and make sure that it's using the right outgoing servers?

Hi there, Cant add a second account to TBird on new installation on new PC with WIN 11. Works fine on WIN 10 and LINUX Mint but fails authentication on new WIN 11 PC. First account goes on OK but cant add a second. Have checked all setting but cant see a problem. Please advise. Thanks John

For reasons I can't fathom, Thunderbird and Google aren't speaking to each other at the moment. :)

have nuisance screens from Google that I cannot provide information in to resolve the problem. I believe that somehow Google is no longer recognizing passwords sent from Thunderbird and vice versa. I'm not receiving email in my Thunderbird inboxes.

My solution is to delete the affected accounts from Thunderbird and add them back. I have passwords.

Before I do this, I thought it prudent to ask the experts if this sounds like a good plan.

What say ye?

Hi,

I changed the settings on an email account in Thunderbird to imap from pop3 as well as with a different host. Now everything is gone.

Is there any way to get them back? :(

Thanks for any suggestions.

Have been trying to set up some pop3 yahoo mail accounts on a new computer. I have used automatic configuration. I have used manual configuration using the data from my old computer. I have checked the configuration settings on both Yahoo and Thunderbird sites. In all instances Thunderbird verifies the account is valid, but the next window asks for my yahoo username and password. I cannot get passed this stage. I have tried entering my yahoo password and I have also tried the app generated password from Yahoo, all I get is a Yahoo "something went wrong" message. Interestingly I did manage to get one of the accounts to work yesterday, but I must have tried no end of different permutations and I have no idea which one eventually worked.

After many years of using Thunderbird with an AOL account I changed my password in AOL to increase the security. So I had to install the AOL account again in Thunderbird. I created an app password in AOL and put it in Thunderbird. Everythin fine so far. AOL login window opens automatically. But after login to AOL the message "somthing went wrong" and "try on anther device" pops up. I tried it on several PC's - no way. Other mail clients like Mailspring oder Mailbird did work with the AOL account. What is the problem?

Hi all,

I have tried on K9, and Thunderbird Mobile.

On my tablet, with K9 mail, I exported my fully working accounts, and imported to my phone. All worked, except one account, where it only has an outbox. No inbox, no sent folder, nothing.

I then Installed Thunderbird mobile, and used the QR code link in the desktop app, to sync to it. Same issue. All other accounts work fine, but not that one account. Only an outbox.

I've logged into the web version of that account, and no restrictions are on folders. And it's only on my phone. On tablet it's fine.

I can't even choose folders in settings, for sent, etc, as there are none to choose.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I'm just getting set up with Thunderbird. I used to use Postbox, and imported my Postbox profile into Thunderbird, which overall worked great – it got all my local email folders, and brought in my Apple email account, and so forth. The only wrinkle I've noticed so far is that it also created an account named "server7.invalid" that I can't delete. If I go to Account Settings, for "server7.invalid" it states "The following is a special account. There are no identities associated with it." The only items underneath it are "Spam Settings" and "Disk Space". There is no red Delete button for it, the way there is for my two real (IMAP) email accounts. Viewed on the Mail tab, it appears to contain only "Trash" and "Outbox", and both of those are empty. This weird invalid account doesn't seem to be doing any harm, but of course it is ugly and I just want it to go away. Help?

When first setting up my email accounts, I accidentally created a false account that I cannot now delete. It was not fully set up and now I cannot delete it from the left panel. When I go to account actions, delete account is grayed out, how do I clean this up?

Today suddenly of my two email accounts, only one was opening when Firefox opened. All my folders were not visible, and the only thing I could see was the inbox for one email account. In the course of my "fixes" it's now even worse. I can only see one old archive folder (I think that's what it is). I tried reading in the forums and questions but nothing helps. I use Norton which some seem to say is a problem with updates, though it never used to be. I know where my stored emails and folders are for both accounts but Thunderbird does not seem to recognize them.

Because of extensive travel, I always copy my profile folder from one computer to the other so all the accounts' folders are current--including Local Folders. Every time, things are fine. This time, something is off. I know the stmp setting for each account should show the login password for that account. One account is just fine. The other two change each other so I get an error message when trying to send outgoing mail. When I look at the stmp settings, I see that the password for Account A was changed to the password for Account B. If I correct Account B's setting, Thunderbird immediately changes the password for Account A. To send outgoing mail from either account, I must now check which password shows for both accounts.

I've read everything I can find about anything that seems related to my problem but I cannot find my exact problem.

What can I do?

Searches and AI tell me to use "Account Actions" on the account settings page but I see no "Account Actions" on my Thunderbird.

Thunderbird 128.10.0esr MacOS 15.5

Am I just blind? Am I looking in the right place? I could swear I've done this before without any trouble.

Why is TB duplicating local folders and then why I can't delete those duplicates. The only valid one is the highlighted one in the attach image.

And the message filter are not working properly?
