Domain name email stopped working yesterday. My Comcast email is still working fine. Geek Squad cannot figure out why - other than its some sort of Thunderbird issue. I can still get the domain name emails if I specifically go to/through Outlook.

   Is this because Thunderbird only deals with POP or IMAP formats (no longer supported by microsoft as of 6-5-23) vs: microsofts 'newest thing' the EXCHANGE format?   Been getting emails from GoDaddy(my domain name host) for past month or so informing me of the change coming.  
  Had Geek Squad go through my email settings back on May 24 and then again May 25 (because of created glitches from may 24) via remote access from India(or someplace like).  This was done to be pro-active about the upcoming EXCHANGE format requirement.  Everything was 'supposed' to be fine - and appeared to be, until last night when I started getting pop-up messages stating:

"Login to account mail@briansb.com failed / Login to server outlook.office365.com with username mail@briansb.com failed" as well as "Login to account Comcast failed / Login to server smtp.comcast.net with username webx@comcast.net failed". So, is my theory correct that Thunderbird just doesn't have the programming needed for the EXCHANGE email format ? Can this be remedied or do I need to move on from Thunderbird? Any suggestions for an email program as close to what Windows Live Mail was? Brian webx@comcast.net

I can not get my Spectrum email to work in Thunderbird. I have called my ISP and everything is set properly and still no email. Does Thunderbird not work with Spectrum?

I am running Thunderbird version 102.9.1 on Fedora 38. I select LibreOffice Writer to open Microsoft Word Documents, and this is listed properly in Settings under Files and Attachments. However, when I click on the document name of the attached file, nothing happens. Any clue what's happening and how to get around it?

I've got an issue on several websites in 115b2 (but it's been an issue since at least 112) where Firefox inserts a bunch of
after a single newline. I've tried toggling editor.use_div_for_default_newlines, which had fixed this back in 92 when set to false. But now, true or false, I'm getting a bunch of line breaks when I'm not expecting them. This is only an issue in Firefox, Chrome/Edge does not have this behavior when using WYSIWYG editors. I can go back into the editor and clean out the additional line breaks without them being resubmitted, though.

example, there should only be a single line break between "message" and "more message":

Attempting to download and install browser. exe. file downloads OK. When running exe. file, it hangs halfway through, and stops. Following message appears: "Gah. Your tab just crashed" Restore tabs option fails to fix problem!

My desktop PC is using Win 10, 64 bit with 16GB RAM. Chrome browser Version 114.0.5735.110. Have cleared cache and history. Win Defender only anti-malware prog running. Have run CCleaner.

Any help much appreciated. Thank you, Geoff in Australia.

If I use Chrome, this does not happen.

When I use Firefox, Every. Single. Time. I log into gmail, all the instructions are in Chinese. If I just log out, default is Chinese. Do I need to change my email address? Gmail is my work email, also, and it doesn't happen with that account at work, but the default browser is Chrome.

Yes, I've repeatedly changed the language back to English. I have 2-step verification for logging in. I just changed my password, closed all browsers, reset trusted devices. Did not help. If I use Mozilla Firefox, when I type in gmail.com, my email addresses are in English; everything else is Chinese.

Hi, I need to recover some Thunderbird emails. My Windows 10 crashed. I overwrote the drive with the new installation. Unfortunately, I had only backed up my Documents folder. Can you help me recover my emails? Thanks

How can I revert my sync data to what I had been using on my newer computer, following the use of an old outdated computer ? My bookmarks, passwords et al. have reverted to the old data.

I have tried to turn off sync on the older machine that I rarely use. There are many bookmarks that I need to recover now on the new machine. I had everything selected to sync to the newer data on the older machine, but it would not sync. Now my new machine shows the the old data!

Thank much for suggestions! RayneByrd

I was browsing and commenting on a YouTube video, when my my typing wasn't showing up for several seconds after I typed it...like 20-30 seconds. I checked Windows Task Master and 10 instances of firefox were open (I was only using one tab) and they were using 68% of my CPU and 90% of my available memory, basically locking up my computer. I tried closing it and reopening it, but the same thing happened. I had to go to another browser. I remember this happening in the past, and I had to move to another browser permanently. I would much rather stay with Firefox if you can prevent this from happening.

thanks.

All stories on Fox news and Yahoo do not show comments on the end of the stories. If I use MS edge the comment sections are there on all stories. I am using the latest mozilla program and am running windows 10.

Starting the quest (i.e., tilting at a huge, anonymous, darkside windmill) anew.

To the Firefox volunteers, developers, moderators, or whoever might read this that is willing and able to do something about it: Provide a means for end users to place the Tabs below the Bookmarks on screen.

I just cant find my messages anymore. cant get sorted by date, or sorted by correspondent. chaos. and this is not the first issue I have with thunderbird (linux). Right now it seems to me it is unworkable.

Been working with TB windows for many years. works fine. It too had some flaws at times but at least it works. the linux version as I see it at this point seems to have major flaws. Yes, if your emails are nowhere to be found, that is a major flaw.

Perhaps the Mozilla guys have a solution but it should be intuitive right from the start. It's the essence of using an email client.

I might change my mind about TB-Lin if someone could show me how it's done, and if there is some logic to the way it works.

Again TB Win: great. TB Lin: all thumbs down at this point. Please prove me wrong.

I have recently installed Thunderbird version 102.12.0 as my email server. I created a "Default Identity" and put in my first and last name in the "Your Name" section. When I send emails, however, the recipient only sees my first name and email address in the "From" line. I would like them to see my first and last name and not to see the email address in the "From" line.

About a week ago I started getting these message windows 'Gah. Your tab has crashed.' I have never seen these before now they're everywhere. I have tried all the Troubleshoot procedures and nothing seems to help. I've done all the cleanups and checked the add-ons but there is nothing new and no changes I am aware of.

Hi there,

I've used (and liked using) Thunderbird as my email platform for more than a decade now. This morning I found out that my primary (GoDaddy supported) email account is no longer compatible with POP or IMAP settings. I've been trying to make the necessary settings changes with help from GoDaddy tech support, but they can't ensure that my contacts, emails, etc. will be saved in the process. Can you please explain how I can export/back up everything in my Thunderbird account before I make changes to the account?

Thanks,

I was receiving my email from outlook.com and part way through, I get this message: The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop-mail.outlook.com responded: Server Unavailable. 21

I was able to read the emails directly on the server and deleted each after reading. But nothing else will come into Thunderbird. I get the above error each time.
