Running Thunderbird 140.6.0esr in Windows 11. This afternoon I found that one of my three accounts no longer shows up in the folder pane, though it still appears normally in the account settings tab. I can still send mail from it, but can't receive any. The other two accounts appear in the folder pane as usual and can send and receive normally.

Any help getting the account back into the folder pane would be appreciated. -- tralfaz

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!

Preamble:

1. There are 34 email Accounts listed in left column.
2. (Image 1) When in "Mail" column I can see down to only the Account Name (address). There is only the Account Name and Inbox.. nothing else below that can be seen - no Drafts, Sent, Archives, Spam, or Deleted. Anything below is missing too.
3. When choosing "Account Setting", everything for last account shows up, plus Outgoing, Add-ons (Image 2). Too, we can see the Offline/Online Icon.

QUESTION: How may I fix it so that the last account shows all sub-sections of the account - i.e., Server Settings, Copies & Folders etcetera right on down to Online/Offline or at best, down to "Return Receipts" for the last account?

Thanks for volunteering, ~r

I’m using Thunderbird 148, IMAP, and my folder pane folder mode is set to All Folders. I seem to remember Thunderbird showed me a quota bar so I would know how much space was left on the server. Recently no quota bar has been visible, what gives?

I want to access an Outlook.com email. It has 2-step verification. It also says I may be missing a domain name before the email. Not sure what that is. DomainName/myemailname@outlook.com.

Greetings,

For some reason, my TB client has a conflict with my ISP provider with TB and my personal Yahoo account. When I try to authenticate my personal Yahoo account, the authentication box pops up in TB, but it points to my ISP Yahoo account with the login instead of my private Yahoo account login. I have deleted my ISP Yahoo account. Everything was fine last year; now, today, I can't authenticate my private Yahoo account in the Authentication box (screenshot below). It's not giving my personal Yahoo account security. It's giving my ISP provider login, it's Rogers.

Any clues as to why?

Regards, Marko

I am trying to add a business gmail account to my Thunderbird on Desktop and have run into difficulty.

I tried to use This Article in order to overcome the issue, however it is dated 2018 and seems very out of date with the current UI. So I am struggling with how to rename the incoming/outgoing servers to allow the new gmail account into the host.

When I try to add the gmail account I get the window to sign into the new account, but when I click continue I get "The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know." (see attached image).

Escaping out of the log in screen brings me back to the config page which appears to have accepted the account, until I hit continue and then it tells me that the incoming server is already in use. (see the second image).

I also tried turning off the experimental add account and use the previous interface to work the problem. I got the same results both times.

Please advise, I'd really like to have access to the account emails on my desktop without using the google web interface.

Thank you DD Randall

Would love if someone could please help me with this. It worked perfectly fine adding one Outlook account but this one for some reason just isn't working. It'll bring me to the Outlook sign in to give permissions then throws the error (attached image)

Are subfolders within the inbox included in a pop3 account?

. pop3 is often not recommended and Ive read that its more vulnerable to interception and less secure connection, is this true?

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.

I received this email after I tried to sign in to my Mozilla account. This is the relevant info from the email:

Your {$providerName} account has been linked to your Mozilla account Mobile Safari on iOS 18.7

I don't know what I did to cause this email to be sent. I wasn't trying to link any other account to my mozilla account.

Account Settings > New Account > Enter passwordless Microsoft account credentials

After this, Thunderbird now prompts me to enter a Password and "Your login", whatever that means. My account does not have a password, but the field is mandatory. What am I supposed to do here, exactly?

Hi, I have googled this and been into the Thunderbird Help section and cannot find an answer. I am having trouble with one of my email accounts, I want to delete it and it and reinstall it. I get to the point in the process where it says to click on Remove Or Remove account but there is no tab or button that is visible to do this. Help here would be greatly appreciated. Regards Mark
