Hello. I'm getting constant crashes on a new installation of Thunderbird on a new PC. It seems to happen when downloading emails, of which we have tens of thousands, and it seems to crash every few seconds or minutes. I tried reinstalling, and running in safe mode and disabling addons. I tried deleting the account and recreating it. I tried deleting the profile folder and recreating it. We have 4 email accounts on that machine (we have a dozen in total) but as TB seemed to be struggling I deleted all of them and recreated only 1, which made no difference. Apart from that the PC seems to be normal and does not report any errors. We have a dozen other PCs all running Thunderbird with the same accounts and with the same settings, none of which show any problems. The crash reports (I have loads of them) all seem to show EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ This is the ID of the most recent one: 4e9ad970-189e-41e9-9399-8db820180222

Thanks in advance for any help.

Changed IMAP to POP. Now I have errors, such as "msgFilterRules...Conflict.dat. Deleted all my message filters, but this message STILL pops up.

I also have popstate-1.dat & popstate-2.dat 2 Junk folders, 2 Outboxes..

I have screwed this up somehow....

delivery format auto-detect does not auto-change to HTML when an image/picture is pasted into email body

problem was present in an early version of TB (sry don't remember which) then was fixed but has reoccurred on 38.4.0 (dunno if it begun at this version, just realized 38.4.0 has this issue again)

if delivery format option set to HTLM then it works (pasted image is sent)

see attached screen shots

Win8.1 using Tbird 24.5.0. Download of emails became intermittent in mid-May. As of 6/4, none can be downloaded. No problem sending emails. I have a POP3 account with Earthlink. I started Tbird in safe mode via Help > Restart with ad-ons disabled.

The status bar at the bottom stated that I was connected to pop.earthlink.net. Then it stated that is was 'Downloading message 1 of 116'. After a while with no messages coming in, it stated 'No messages to download'. It never said downloading message 2, so I don't think the messages went somewhere unknown.

This is the situation with my Windows firewall disabled and with my G Data antivirus disabled. I've tried various other things after reading that others are having a similar problem. Earthlink support verifies that I have the right setup. I uninstalled Tbird and reinstalled. I removed the account and added a new one -- and lost my saved emails until I went to my backup. Someone mentioned a ad blocker. I have one on Chrome from Adblock Plus; I don't see how that would affect Thunderbird.

What now? Thanks, Bruce

Automatically hide taskbar in desktop mode => Enabled Firefox => Maximised When cursor is moved to outer edge of screen, taskbar should unhide (Expected behaviour) but in this case it remain hidden (Reality). Firefox along with all other spinoffs give same result. Chromium based browser works perfect, and taskbar automatically unhide itself.

As OLED screen have became common as monitor, Taskbar auto-hide is must. If this issue cann't be fixed I may have to change my primary browser which I used for almost 15 years.

Kindly, look into it. If Chromium can do it, why not Firefox.

Today for the first time after the latest update 127.0 (64-bit), my many firefox pages and tabs crashed and closed and a pop up to send crash report.

So I have fired up firefox again to find only a single page opens up, I have lost probably 16+ pages with multiple tabs on each, been like that for months, I have 32GB memory so there is normally no issues or slowness. However after the crash, even though only a single firefox page is open, windows task manager shows Firefox (20) and if I expand the task, I can see each firefox is taking lots of memory.

So it looks like the old session pages/tabs are still there somewhere but not accessible, I would like to get them back if possible. I went through reseting it to default, disabling the add ons etc but nothing has worked.

Started getting error April 10. I have SSL/TLS and Oauth2 set for Thunderbird account server and smtp. Looked thru lots of web messages - no joy. Via web browser I can connect to my Yahoo email without issue. My gmail account on Thunderbird still works fine (with its unique third party password). I am on current Thunderbird release 115.9.0 (64 bit). I disabled the only add-on that Thunderbird was using. Windows 11 Pro which is up to date. Plenty of open disk space. Have rebooted my PC multiple times.

Looking for suggestions Thanks Bob

Folks:

I am running 64-bit Windows 10 Pro ,version 1511. I had been running Thunderbird 52.9.1 without any problems whatsoever. A few days ago, Thunderbird upgraded to 60.3.1. Thunderbird became unstable and unusable immediately upon start. Taskbar and Process Explorer showed that the program was running, but the window would not stay open or even stay stable.

I was able to use System Restore to revert to the previous version of Thunderbird, and although the calendar functionality is gone, it seems to work fine.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

My default font is Calibri. However when writing messages the font often changes to Times New Roman. This happens especially after indenting a paragraph. It also often happens right from the start when replying to emails.

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.

West Virginia has a website to download old death certificates, but they wont load. There's nothing but a blank page. I'm not positive that it's a Firefox problem, as a friend of mine who uses IE cant load them either, however, she CAN load them on her Tablet. As a historian, I really need to get these records for my research, so I was wondering if someone could go to the site and see of the records appear for them to be downloaded. This is a direct link to one of the records:

link text

While this is the main page were you enter the name you are looking for: link text

If you discover anything, please let me know. Thanks!

Dear Friends,

I can Email my wife at [elainefraser43@hotmail.co.uk] from my Gmail account:

I can Email myself [ralphfraser1@talktalk.net], which is on "Thunderbird", from her Hotmail account:

BUT, when I attempt to Email HER via "Thunderbird" my Emails are rejected, and I get the above-mentioned Unknown address error 550-"SC-002 [COLO-MC3-F42] failure message!!

This is all WELL above my head!!

Please can you explain what needs to be done here???

Regards,

Ralph Fraser

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.

Ok, last week I migrated my Verizon Email to the new AOL/Verizon email set up. All went smoothly. I was sending and receiving no problem. All of a sudden, I am not sending or receiving. I can get mail from the AOL.Mail site, but can not get from Thunderbird. I have a G.mail Acct using Thunderbird and it works fine. Any idea why the new Verizon/Aol might be stumbling over Thunderbird? When I try to get mail it just hangs, when i try to send i instantly get this message...Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.verizon.net was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again.

When I try to play a video on Firefox desktop, it takes it a long time to load. Once it has loaded, whenever I pause it for more than a few seconds, or if I try to skip around the video (either by clicking around in the loaded section of the progress bar or using +/- seconds buttons), the video begins buffering again before the video resumes. This makes it extremely difficult and frustrating to watch anything that requires me to pause, rewind, or fast forward. I've noticed this issue affect multiple video viewing sites, such as YouTube, Vimeo, and Netflix. My roommate also uses Firefox, but doesn't have this issue, so I know it's not a problem with my internet. I thought it might be a problem with my computer, but I tried to replicate the issue in Chrome and everything worked fine there. The issue has persisted almost a week. I have:

• Rebooted my computer several times
• Deleted my history/cache
• Disabled my extensions
• Turned off Java scripts in firefox (this disabled my ability to load sites like YouTube completely, so I turned it back on)
• Updated my computer
• Updated my graphics drivers
• Refreshed firefox
• Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox (and rebooted my computer)
• Uninstalled and reinstalled firefox AND deleted all the data it stored on my computer (and rebooted my computer)

I am currently using version 123.0.1 of Firefox. My OS is Windows 10 22H2.

For months I was experiencing the problem of "Thunderbird not responding" occasionally. It was a short duration issue (a few seconds to a minute). I reinstalled Thunderbird several times without success. I read almost every comment available online about this problem and I tried many ideas and recommendations I found without success. Most recently the problem became so serious that it was not a nuisance any longer. It was nearly impossble to work waiting for minutes to open an email or to continue typing while preparing a message and being interrupted by the problem I am describing. I ran Thunderbird in safe mode and determined that none of the add-ons is causing the problem. I turned the firewall OFF and determined that firewall was not causing the problem. I then decided to run Thunderbird in Offline mode and found that the program works normally. Then while in Offline mode I decided to download more messages and the program asked me if I wanted to switch to the Online mode. I said yes. New emails were downloaded and without going back to the Offline mode I was able to work normally without any occurrence of the "Thunderbird not responding" problem. I have been using this workaround for several days now. I download a number of eamails. I try working in Online mode and I cannot do it. I switch to Offline and work fine. I switch back to Online mode and I don't see the problem any longer for the whole day. Do you have any idea as to the origin of my proble? I am running Thunderbird 115.10.2 64 bit on Windows 11. I had the problem originally using Lenovo T490s and more recenlt Lenovo X1 Yoga

Thunderbird frequently goes 'not responding' when autosaving as a draft. I'll be merrily typing away, then as it autosaves to draft, then words stop being processed, then Thunderbird goes to 'not responding' for a short while. It then responds, and part of what I was typing when it seized up appears, but not all of it (I assume, but can't say for certain, that the text that I type before it goes 'not responding' appears, but none after that).

I've looked online, but I can't find this problem elsewhere.

I've got a high spec laptop, so that's not the issue. (i7 Processor, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 2GB dedicated graphics RAM, etc - Windows 8.1.)

Any advice would be most appreciated! :)

Thanks! Sam

I tried searching the FAQs and did a google search first. This did not work, all I discovered is F9 turns the contacts sidepane on and off, but doesn't fix the problem with the pane being wrong.

Until a very recent update (last week or two at most) when I hit write, the contacts pane in the write window showed my address book. Now it shows some type of search I can't use as I have to see all the entries to see which ones I want to send an email to. In some cases I have multiple entries for a person based on them having multiple email addresses for different types of email. Trying to remember which ones I want DOES NOT WORK for me. I can only get this behavior back by running in safe mode. As an alternative I need Thunderbird to save my safe mode setting so I don't have to reconfigure safe mode every time I have to reboot windows or restart Thunderbird. I currently have it coming up in safe mode by default

I tried to remove and then install an older version of Thunderbird and the bad contact pane on the left was there. I can't find any setting to change the pane from the wrong one to the old one I need. I'd rather not try reinstalling win7 pro from scratch to fix this, assuming that would fix it.

I'm running windows7 pro 64 bit

YouTube all of a sudden started to slow down and only be able to load videos fast enough in 360p resolution, I tried watching YouTube on Microsoft edge and YouTube handled 1080p easily there, I have cleared the cash and made sure my Firefox and Windows are up to date and still the issue persists.

this only seams to occur on YouTube as amazon prime and speed test works without issues
