Yesterday night Thunderbird updated to 140.1.0esr on my Windows PC. The "new message" button no longer works. The button registers that I press it (short-term slight color change of the button), but a new message is not opened. Ctrl+N does not work either. Everything else seems to work in Thunderbird - for example, I can reply to emails.

Hjälp! Jag kan inte skicka mail längre! Efter senaste automatiska uppdateringen av Thunderbird (som gjordes för ett par dagar sedan) går det inte att skapa nytt meddelande. Knappen "Nytt meddelande" reagerar inte när man klickar på den. Vad kan man göra åt detta? Vänligast Hasse Svenson

Hi. Recently, every email I download in Thunderbird comes as a duplicate. I use my address tom@barkas.co.uk, which goes to my domain barkas.co.uk, hosted by Ionos, set to automatically forward to my zen address, then download from my zen address. I can't see anything in my Thunderbird account settings that would result in this I searched for similar problems and ran chkdsk c:/f and cleared the cache in TB, but still happening. Any ideas?

'Thunderbird asks for an old password to a website I no longer use. I can't see a way of updating it. Can anyone please help? I'm 92 years old and could do with a bit of help.

Bonjour, Thunderbird m'empêche de me connecter depuis longtemps à mon adresse mail. michel.balawender@wanadoo.fr

Blocage par le message "saisir un nouveau mot de passe" => qui ne donne aucun résultat.

Le mot de passe ne doit pas être modifié : il fonctionne très bien avec mon fournisseur d'accès Orange.

L'an passé, je pouvais lire mes messages, mais ne pouvais pas envoyer de messages. Maintenant, l'accès est totalement bloqué depuis le 2 mai 2025.

Merci pour votre aide

On my laptop when I try to send an email the spell checker box appears. I have tried turning thunderbird off then on again but with the same result. This first happened after I tried a spell check on an email which did not work (did not check the text) and all the time since every time I try to send an email all I get is the spell checker box. To send an email I have had to come out of Thunderbird and go into Yahoo mail to recover the draft and send it that way. I would apreciate any help you can give me. A second issue is that my phone app does not talk to talk windows 10 laptop. This is probabley a setting problem as I can get Inbox but cannot get Drafts (tried to send email by phone but Drafts was empty). Thanks Peter

I'm running Thunderbird 139.0 on Windows 11. I would like it so TB only saves an email to my sent folder when requested. Currently, it always saves every email to the sent folder. I have "Place a copy" disabled in "Copies & Folders" under Account Settings. I had this same problem running TB 141. I had to revert to 139 due to a different problem I was having (discussion for a different post). Any suggestions what else I need to do?

Thanx for initial reply to my help request ...

My problem with Thunderbird downloading my Yahoo.com e-mails continue.

I've changed Yahoo.com passwords in the past with no problems. Thunderbird seems to have changed & become more complicated. I can't find the app password Generator for Thunderbird, but I'm able to see my Yahoo Password & the Oauth2 security protocol etc

So how in the heck can I get Thunderbird to work properly? And download my my messages into TB as it has done for years.

To whom it concerns, I need help, I try to send an e-mail and a box pops up saying Message could not be send because the connection to outgoing server (SMTP) smtp-server.oh.rr.com timed out try again. I have tried everything. I've been with Thunderbird for years. Thank you!!

No new messages after opening Thunderbird

Since yesterday (24/07/2025), when I open Thunderbird, I don't see new messages. I can see the number of new messages, but no new headers. I didn't have this problem before. When I access my account through a browser, there are new messages that Thunderbird doesn't see. I have version 140.1.0. I have the message threads enabled - All.

Polish/Polski Brak nowych wiadomości po otwarciu Thunderbirda Od wczoraj (24-07-2025) po otwarciu Thunderbird - nie widzę nowych wiadomości, widać liczbę nowych wiadomości, ale brak nowych nagłówków. Wcześniej nie miałem tego problemu. Jak wchodzę na konto przez przeglądarkę, są tam nowe wiadomości, które nie widzi Thunderbird. Mam wersję 140.1.0. Mam włączone odnośnie wiadomości - Wątki - Wszystkie.

I am on W11 home. Tbird user for maybe 10 years. Just updated to 140.0.1. The New Message button does not respond to anything -- left, right mouse, alt control shift buttons. zip.

subj line says it: current new mail is coming in - some 147 older mails in yahoo inbox are not seen by t/bird. I can't find anything obvious. New tbird release 140.0.1. It is correct, there are no NEW emails - how to get older ones?

Hi everybody,

Thunderbird is not download mail to the client inbox. I created the mailsadress today, freshly installed TB too. I set up the outlook.com account in TB and TB is establishing a connection with the mailserver, but not loading the mails. every time it tries to connect I can see TBgoing through the motions in status in the bottom left. There are mails in the accounts inbox,TB is just not downloading them. I also tried sending mails a mail to myself, from within TB, works fine. The mail sent via TB arrived in the acount inbox, visible in the webapp.

Please help, THX

Når jeg laver en videresend af en mail, bliver de tekniske data vedrørende den videresend mail vis i den nye mail. Se vedhæftet screen shot. Inden jeg installerede den seneste opdatering skete det samme ved: svar mail, videresend mail, print mail. Efter opdatering at Version 140.0.1 | Released July 9, 2025, har jeg ind til nu kun konstateret at fejlen kun findes ved videresend. Mvh Michail

I'm using Thunderbird 102.15.1 on kubuntu. With previous versions I could set up an automatic filter to move emails to defined folders depending on various criteria. How do I do this with this version? Thanks Hugh Grant

Since the July 2025 update I can receive emails and forward and reply to emails but I can't create a new email. When I click on + New Message nothing happens, the write window doesn't open. Therefore I think my in and out servers are working fine but can't get the send new email window.

The app has been running like a champ, monitoring 4 email accounts. Starting last night, one of my email accounts no longer works. It won't receive incoming email, even after clicking the refresh button, or send email. The other accounts are fine. When using my desktop app, everything works, so it's isolated to the one account on the mobile app. What could have happened to break this? How do i get this working again? Running version 10.1
