Having trouble with my Charter Spectrum mail account. I am able to receive e-mails, but cannot send them. When I send a mail, I get the "Login to server mobile.charter.net failed" message. However, I believe I have the correct setting for SMTP server. Charter Spectrum says I should have mobile.charter.net set as the SMTP server, port 587 selected, SSL enabled, and the authentication password should be the same as my IMAP incoming for the account.

So when I get this message about login to server failed - I re-enter the same account password, and get the same message result. Why would I be able to receive e-mails, but not send using the same server and password?

I was able to go onto Charter Spectrum website and login and send and receive e-mails from their web mail app. Although, I hate using it, and would much rather use TBird.

Thanks in advance. C.Bariou

My ISP, Cox, sent me a message that I have to change my POP server settings from:

port 110, Connection security: None, and Authentication method: Password, transmitted insecurely

to:

port 995, Connection security: SSL/TLS, and Authentication method: normal password

When I do this Thunderbird will not retrieve any new messages. The same changes work ok on two android devices, so I can see from them that there are new emails for Thunderbird to get, it's just not getting them. I tried changing one of my accounts back to the port 110 settings and that account now works again.

I tried contacting Cox about it but they stated that they don't support Thunderbird and referred me here.

I'm on Thunderbird 52.5.2 32 bit.

I have a bunch of IMAP accounts, most gmail, but one at alumni.caltech.edu. At the end I copy-pasted the start of Troubleshooting Information. All have been working fine with Thunderbird for years.

Today, for every account, if I click "Get Messages" I see "<account-name>: Connected to <hostname>..." at the lower-left in the status line, but it never completes or times out, and I don't get any new messages, even though I can login to webmail and see that there are new messages.

I've quit and restarted Thundbird, I've paused my Eset Smart Security firewall, and I've rebooted.

I tried turning on Thunderbird logging in an elevated cmd window with: C:\WINDOWS\system32>set NSPR_LOG_FILE=%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Desktop\tbird_log.txt C:\WINDOWS\system32>set NSPR_LOG_MODULES=POP3:5,IMAP:5,SMTP:5 C:\WINDOWS\system32>start thunderbird

Thunderbird eventually went into offline mode and I exited, but I don't know how to read the log file properly.

This is on Windows 10 Home. I did get a significant Windows Update overnight: Version 1709 and an update to it, KB40058043. I noticed this morning that I had a Windows Mail app in my taskbar (which I removed). I'll also say that my wife's PC got the same Windows update, and her Thunderbird client is working fine.

I'm out of ideas how to fix or further analyze this - can someone look at the log file? Since it contains email addresses I don't want to try posting it.

When I try to search my send messages for an email with certain content I get no results. i.e. In the "Send" folder I have a message containing a word "invoice". When I try tu quickfilter or search for it there are no results.

When I have a reply to that e-mail in the received folder the search includes it in the results.

(I tried deleting the file "global-messages-db.sqlite")

Running win 7 Pro. Previous beta was running fine. Accepted the offered update and now the program won't load. Uninstalled and reinstalled , still no load. Process explorer shows the thunderbird.exe process running. I have exempted relevant folders from antivirus scope.

Started sending intermittently for a few days now not sending at all, have to go to webmail to send. Have checked the settings repeatedly to no effect. OS is Linux MX-14

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.

I have 2 email accounts on TB, one is a hotmail account and one is an msn account. MSN account works fine. Hotmail account on my iphone works fine both sending and receiving messages. On Thunderbird my hotmail account receives messages but if I try to "reply" to a message or if I try to send a new message using the hotmail account I receive the following message. When I checked my version it says I'm using Mozilla/5.0 Windows NT10.0 WOW 64, rv: 52.0 gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/52.3.0

An error occurred while sending mail.

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.

Hi there, I am getting terribly frustrated, desperately appreciate some help!

For over a week now, I can receive emails just fine, but sending fails completely. It has been working for years, but all of a sudden stopped.

Errors include (see images attached).

Have tried numerous SMTP settings and servers.

Using: Mozilla Thunderbird 52.2.1 (and later version, but rolled back to see if problem got fixed.) Windows7 Pro Avast Antivirus BT Fibre to Home

Any help be greatly appreciated. cheers, Chris

P.S. NOTE: One thing to bear in mind, this did occur at similar time of trying the BETA version on the Outlook Mail Website (But that was on a different PC). Maybe a coincidence, but thought I would mention it anyhow.

Additions: I have tried: • disabling my Antivirus. • rolling back Thunderbird several times to previous versions. • testing port allowance through router.

UPDATE - I have just installed the Outlook App on my android phone, set up my POP account, and IT WORKS both incoming and outgoing! So it looks like it's down to just my PC then.

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!

"The message could not be sent because the connection to outgoing server smtp.gmail.com was lost in the middle of the transaction. Please try again."

Hi. Today, at the end of my work session, I have cleaned my computer with 'CCleaner' and then I have switched off my computer. When I have turned on it, both firefox and thunderbird have restarted themselves as if I had just installed them. Firefox never mind because there are still all the bookmarks, but thunderbird show me the initial settings. How I can solve this problem? I have a backup, but it hasn't been updated recently.

I shutdown Thunderbird and restarted and it now prompts me to create a new account and all my email boxes are missing. The files are still in C:\Users\masud\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default and I have tried creating a new profile and transferring over some of the main files to the new profile, but this gives the same problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled TB and still no luck. My Address book is accessible though.

I cannot get my emails to print out. This is a new problem as it has worked in the past. The printer is working OK both for photocopies and to print out documents on the computer. It accepts the instruction to print but the paper just feeds through the printer with nothing on it. Help!

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

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?

The two most recent versions of Thunderbird I've used, now 52.1.0, 52.0.1 before, have problems downloading some attachments. Seen with some, but not all PDF attachments. 27 bytes only downloaded when either opened or saved. Other PDF attachments work fine. The problem attachments are completely functional if I use a different MUA to open the e-mail off of the same IMAP server.

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.
