I have been marking as Junk on some messages for years now. When does TB ever send those directly to the Junk file? Specifically. Can I create filters to send any message I mark junk to the junk file under Local Folders? I've tried and can't seem to get junk messages sent direct to that Local Folder Junk file. Is there some trick to how you create a filter? The way I've been doing it is: Open Message Filters, check "Filters for: and click the email address. Then click New for a filter. Then, in the new filter, type in Filter name:. "JUNK". Leave ck mark in Manually Run, Getting New Mail as "Filter before Junk Classification" (Or should I use Filter after?). Leave ck mark in "Match all of the following. Now, Subject, contains - and that's where the email address goes. Usually I have copied it from the junk message and paste in. And finally, Move Message to: Junk on Local Folders. So why don't this work? And as far as I'm concerned Spam should be the same. Do I need to create filters for both junk and spam? And both before junk classification and after?

The problem is that after the download of the 115.01 version it has not been possible to register properly my "name"@arcor.de account with the email provider via imap.vodafonemail.de from Thunderbird . With imap.web.de there has been no problem. Strangely, it is possible to send emails via smtp.vodafonemail.de from Thunderbird although these sent emails are not shown neither in Thunderbird nor in the Vodafone email app. Incoming emails are properly shown in the Vodafone email app but not in Thunderbird.

In doing some file and folder cleanup I just ran across a folder that I don't recall seeing previously. It is on my local drive and labeled EES-temp. It contains 27 files from the last month and a half and one from 2017. Most but not all of them appear to be items I have filed in other folders. Can someone tell me about this folder? Can I delete it? It looks like it was created by TBird.

Thunderbird just updated to V115. But now, I no longer can see anything. Nor, can I navigate to anything since there is nothing there? How do I either fix this, or revert back to an earlier version that worked? See attached screenshot.

I use thunderbird for my email - have been using thunderbird for years and love it. :)

Below is the message I get, I only this error when using thunderbird, not when sending messages from the outlook 365 account with the same email.

This make me think this is not a outlook server error??? how do i fix this.

Thank you in advance.

I had to leave Thunderbird because every time I try and create a customized signature, as much as Thunderbird excels in that area, the image storage drops the filename's path every time.

Example:

image loaded: http://rich.allcorn.us/files/headshot.png

when I go back to it: headshot.jpg

It forgets the path, so the file doesn't show up in the eMail. I purposefully put it "on the web" so it could be accessed from anywhere!

When is Thunderbird going to fix this so I can leave Apple's mail program and go back to Thunderbird?

Hi,

My reading pane on v115 will only adjust downwards but I would like to adjust it upwards as was possible in previous versions.

Just to confirm what I mean, it will only go down, so making the reading pane smaller (or disapppear) and the thread pane larger.

I would like to make it go the opposite way, upwards to make the thread pane smaller.

Is there some code, css etc that can make it happen correctly?

After upgade Thunderbird to 115.0.1 version, all my outlook.com email accounts encounter an error:

Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to account.live.com. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

What is the problem? Doesn't TB support outlook.com accounts anymore?

thanks.

Thunderbird is completely unusable in the latest release. Attempting to set up a gmail based account results in

"Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to 192.168.1.250. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details."

That's it. No options, no explanation, no KB articles, nothing. It just doesn't work. But why is Thunderbird trying to open a web connection to my local machine? If it's trying to talk to itself, why can't it? This is clearly an issue with trying to authenticate to Google as it happens after auth, but come on, this is a given requirement these days. If your app doesn't work out of the box (MacOS 13 btw), it may as well not exist for the OS, so this is very confusing.

Trying out older versions was a real comedy of failures as well. Too old and it's just a disaster. Too new and it just self updated to 115 again which doesn't work. So kinda seems like this is not a functional app anymore, at least not on Mac. Baffling. I guess it can only be used with legacy style email systems.

I have TB 102.13.0 (64-bit) with a bespoke location for the profile (in my Dropbox folder). All the mail collection, storage, folders are working perfectly well but when I change the descriptions for tags and my email server settings (user name and password) - they don't stick. For the password, TB says I have to restart, which I do and afterwards it has reverted to the same settings.

I have changed permission for the Profile folder so that ALL USERS plus my login user has total access and it is not Read Only, and I have also found the folder in Roaming for Thunderbird and changed those permissions.

Is TB saving these settings somewhere else that I don't know about?

Please help, it is making my work difficult as I use the Tags for different clients and stages of work.

I have used Thunderbird for 12+ years. Now that we have AT&T as our new ISP, I have learned that AT&T doesn't provide an email address. I had no idea and I am frustrated. I also have Gmail, but I am not happy about trying to merge my large Gmail file with my 17 GB Thunderbird file. I worry about losing emails from years ago saved in Thunderbird and in Eudora before that! I assumed I would get an AT&T email and go on as before. Now what?

I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the world to use Gmail all the time. I hate its filing system which is why I want to keep using Thunderbird. I worry as both files are large. Can I really merge all this stuff and not lose my old emails?

I receive incoming email on Thunderbird, but cannot send mail. I have used Thunderbird for years, never updated it and this problem just started yesterday (7/25/23). I have gotten an error message saying "login to server smtp.nycap.rr.com failed". I have called my ISP, Spectrum, and ascertained that my email account with them is functioning, so the issue is something with Thunderbird.

I have been getting messages to up date Thunderbird. The first 3 were last week, and appeared to be in Chinese. Today I started to keep the update messages in English. So I went the the thunderbird update release channel and downloaded the latest release. But, I am still getting notifications to update thunderbird. I rechecked the release channel and am using the current version.

So anybody know what is going on?

Hi

I have endured weeks of Thunderbird conflicting with Hotmail.

Occassionally it works.

Today is another 'no go' day cannot trans or recieve. Hotmail online works but not Thunderbird.

What is going on at Mozilla ?

We just got two new office computers and Windows Mail sucks.

So I downloaded Thunderbird, and set up my accounts as described by both Shaw's website and Thunderbird's.

Everything seemed to be working ok until I tried sending my first email. I got this message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: shw-obgw-4003a.ext.cloudfilter.net cmsmtp Connection Rejected - see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/ip/207.194.98.229 AUP#IPBL00001.

I tried changing the port to 2525 as I read in a Thunderbird forum that worked for some, but it just changed the error message slightly...

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, as I just want a mail app that I can create folders in!

I'm using an old, no longer supported add-on called Reminderfox that saves its contents in ics format. I used to be able to import this to Google calendar and Thunderbird but for some reason they and also Microsoft Outlook won't now import the ics file. They either give an error as in Thunderbird's case (error, no items to import) or just remain greyed out so I can't do anything else as in Google and Microsoft's case. I have submitted the ics file to an ics verifier online and it says there are no errors. I have also looked at the file in notepad and can't see any obvious errors, although I'm not fully conversant with the ics format. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be or anything else I can try please?

I am using filters and address books to send incoming emails to the right folder.

Sometimes I want a routed email in a different folder. But when I move it to that folder, either by drag and drop or the Move function, the filter puts it right back where it knows it belongs.

Is there a way to move an email so the program knows I am the boss? (I am, aren't I?)

Thunderbird stopped communicating with homtail after upgrading to v 115.0 I can send emails using smtp-mail.outlook.com but it fails to retrieve messages from outlook.office365.com There's no error message, it simply fails to connect. (A pop-up window may appear for a few seconds, then it closes, with no new messages downloaded and no errors shown) I'm using the POP setting. Tried to recreate the account as IMAP - it just shows "checking password", would not proceed any further. (No error message, no timeouts. I tried to enter incorrect password on purpose - still no error message, apparently they don't even connect.) Disabling firewall doesn't help. EVERYTHING WORKED FINE BEFORE THE UPGRADE! PLEASE BRING BACK THE WAY IT WAS!!!

I've been a Thunderbird user for many years and have always been impressed with its ability to send most spam messages to the junk folder. However, the new version of Thunderbird, while visually appealing, no longer filters spam and I have to send the messages to junk manually. What is wrong with the new version?
