Hello, my problem is with Thunderbird's Schedule.(the one linked to the emails service) I have deleted a birthday (recurring) in my calendar, the person has passed away. I received a strange message here after attached , sorry it is in French Since then I have not been able to modify, delete or move any of my old tasks! (move a meeting, cancel a meeting or change the meeting time) This message comes back every 10 seconds! Thanks for giving me a hint to solve this problem ! JP

Somehow, I have a second copy of one of my email accounts. They are mirrored, so what happens to one, happens to the other which makes deleting one not acceptable.

Any way to get to the mirrored account?

Thanks, Sue

Okay, I have done everything to delete a gmail email account in the 128.6.1esr (64-bit) version of Thunderbird.

1 - In Account Settings = deleted the entire email account 2 - Deleted any association with calendar 3 - Had tech support person (my own) remote in, spend 1/2 hour and could not find what else needed to be deleted.

Here's the thing: I get a popup from google saying xxxx@gmail.com saying:

"Sign in to continue to Mozilla Thunderbird email"

Create Account ....... Next

Click on Next = 404 error (and Google says nothing can be done about it in so many words) Click on Create Account = "something went wrong"

Can someone help? This popup occurs about every 5 minutes and I cannot receive *or* send email while the popup is open. So annoying.

Thanks in advance.

I have used Thunderbird for years to access one mail account on AOL. In November, it suddenly quit working. In my efforts to fix it, I wound up with 2 sets of inboxes. How do I combine them now that I've downloaded & installed Thunderbird, which upgraded my program and reset the AOL connection? All mail is now going into a newer inbox, but I want it in the older inbox?

Hello

I recently had some trouble with my e-mail that was supposedly remedied by switching from POP to IMAP. However, I think I fucked it up. Please see the picture. (The uppermost account is the POP, the lower the IMAP.)

Somehow many of the messages got duplicated or otherwise messed up in the transfer. (I have confirmed the existence of duplicate e-mails in the IMAP account.)

I think the simplest thing would be to delete both accounts and start over again with a new IMAP account that will just download all the e-mails from the outlook.com IMAP server.

Does this sound right?

I am still paying for websites, just to keep my emails going but it sure is expensive with it being personal now. I don't store my emails with the current host, they just play middleman, receive the emails and ship them off to my Thunderbird. I store them on my computer and my external harddrive. Can you tell me how either I can host my own emails or a really reasonable priced email host? I don't want to loose these emails. The ones that mostly got used by the businesses have been dissolved. But the ones we are getting personal emails threw, we want to keep. Please advise.... thank you for your time and dedication to helping. Judi

Can't seem to get thunderbird to connect to my xfinity (comcast.net) email... tried full reinstalls, changing the password, and all the steps in this: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1437228

As well as trying "normal password" instead of OAuth2. The OAuth2 option does not seem to generate a pop-up to authorize that way. Using other 3rd party and logging in via browser also work.

Does thunderbird need to update something to fix the issue? Its been only a few weeks now for me that this was an issue.

I have an old legacy comcast email account that I want to delete from Thunderbird because Xfinity keeps denying my login attempt to get email even though it's right. I can go to Xfinity and use the same login info and check my mail there and it works. I want to delete the mail account in T-bird but it keeps coming back everytime I open the app. The delete mail account for that email is greyed out under delete account option. I know it probably has to do with the way I set up Thunderbird when I installed it.

I have tried every fix I found online but the check box to delete that email account remains greyed out and the login prompt keeps popping up followed by the message saying that login to that email has failed. Over and over. On the Xfinity site I have enabled the option to allow third party apps to retrieve emails and it has worked on and off thru the years but now it wont let Thunderbird in at all.

Any ideas? I could uninstall Thunderbird and re-enter just the working emails I want to monitor but I am afraid that I will lose a lot of info and I don't want that, or worse the new install will use all the same data again.

If the email was tied in somehow to the framework of Thunderbird upon installation is there a way to get that "remove account" not be greyed out?

Any thoughts are appreciated. Thank You

Hi,

Somewhat of a green small fish here.

Apologies if this has been asked and answered many times before.

Currently: wanting to transfer several existing Thunderbird profiles from Old Vista laptop to newer Windows 7 laptop that already has an existing Thunderbird setup with 3 existing profiles.

Export is taking a long time on he old Vista laptop.

Q? Can I copy existing profiles (folders) from old Vista laptop and paste them into the existing profiles folder on the newer Windows 7 laptop?

In summary...

Existing profiles on both old (source) laptop and new (destination) laptop.

Export from old laptop taking too long/Thunderbird hanging.

Q? Copy folders/profiles from old and paste folders/profiles into new?

Many thanks for all of your help in advance :O)

hi all i miss a test connectivity button in the form, where i enter mail-server stuff. When i add a new mail account, tb test connectivity but when i have to edit something, i would like to test connectivity again in this dialog. Beside of this, Thunderbird is very useful to me and i support it with donations from time to time.

Cheers!

I notice two account logged into my Mozilla account one is - Firefox mobile 130 - android 14 And the other is - Firefox on Samsung SMA146W

They both saw a few seconds but in the activity section I see a login time different of 1-2 minutes

I've been having problems with my mac regarding authorized access but i can't pinpoint it. Another example is my wifi network app will show my phone connecting to it with it being present multiple times. Like my phones will be listed 2 or 3 times as online.

I'm so confused. Any help would be appreciated

I have two email accounts. One is about 2% of my email sending and one is 98% of my email sending. One of them is the default choice when I create a new message to send. Guess which one is the default?

How the absolute F do I get TB to re-order these so that I am not sending so many messages from the wrong address?

Do I need to set up a completely different profile for TB and only launch into that when I am going to send from the lesser-used account? What the heck do I have to do?

I have Thunderbird 128.4.2 (32 bit) on Windows 10 Home (64 bit). I want to add a second email account. To do this, I used File> New> Email Account. I entered the email address and password. TB found and entered a server configuration. The new email address appears in the Folder List but has only an Inbox folder after it. The other folders (Sent, Junk, Trash) are missing. Test messages show the new address in TB will send a message correctly except it hangs trying to save the sent message. The new address is unable to receive a message. Please advise how to get the new email account (outlook.com) set up in Thunderbird. Thank you.

Impossible d'enregistrer mon compte "hotmail.com" dans thunderbird. "erreur identifiant ou mot de passe" alors que ceux ci sont justes (vérifiés sur le site outlook). Quelle solution ? Merci

Bonjour J'ai un compte Thunderbird depuis longtemps et il a disparu, certainement une mauvaise manipulation de ma part. Cela fait un mois que j'essaie de remettre Thunderbird en marche et rien ne va (malgré un don). Je ne suis pas très doué. Pouvez vous me dépanner ? Merci d'avance.

tl;dr: I need to import emails from multiple email addresses, view them as one folder tree, sort into folders, and yet leave the originals on the servers. Can Thunderbird handle this?

Background: I used Outlook Express until Microsoft killed it, and have used Outlook 2013 since. Now Microsoft has forced me to abandon that due to Oauth2 not being supported, so I am looking for a replacement.

Thunderbird seems to be a recommended solution, but despite poking around in the community forums and help files, I am not finding straightforward answers to my questions on the current platform. (Side note: I have been using Firefox since it was Phoenix and then Firebird, and then Firefox, but never really used Thunderbird.)

This is what I need to do:

Set up MULTIPLE email accounts (about a dozen hotmail accounts, one yahoo, and nearly a dozen gmail accounts) to all come in to the same program.

Ideally, about 8 of these email accounts will be in their own IMAP-type listings to be kept separate, but the others would go into the same folder group. This had been happening with POP in the past, but I would be okay changing if there is something else that will do the same thing.

Once the POP emails come in, they should be sorted by rules into folders. For example, utility bills might come in on accounts email1 and email2, but due to the rules, all utility bills would go into a local folder called "Utility Bills." But if I go to reply to a message, the program would know which account it came from and be able to reply to it appropriately.

Also, all of these accounts should leave the original messages on the server so that they can be accessed remotely.

Is this something that can be done with Thunderbird? I'm finding conflicting answers and having problems trying to get it set up. It looks like I can't both pull it in to a single view AND sort into folders, but I may be missing an obvious setting somewhere.

Thanks!
