Is there any indication on an email that I've already forwarded it? i.e., How can I tell if I already forwarded and email, and to whom? I guess I could look in my sent folder, but that's quite cumbersome. - Thanks

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'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?

Starting today email on my desktop is not downloading and I can't send messages. I can still get email on my phone. What can I do to get email working on my desktop? I get the error message " Login to server imap.mail.yahoo.com at jauerbach@cox.net failed. My options are to retry, enter new password, or cancel. I have tried all three and no option works.

I want to move from webmail with Sbcglobal to Thunderbirdmail client. I would like to use IMAP so the mail stays on the server.

I have tried to set up my account on Thunderbird using the following.

To set up the incoming email server:

   The server hostname is “imap.mail.att.net” 
   The port number is 993
   Select the security SSL/TLS
   Choose autodetect in Authentication

To set up the outgoing email server:

   The server hostname is “outbound.att.net”
   The port number is 465
   Select the security SSL/TLS
   Choose “normal password” in Authentication
   Enter your email address as both incoming and outgoing username.
   The connection security should be marked as “Yes” for both the inbound and the outbound setting.

I get the message: The Following settings were found by probing the given server.

Then I click Test.

Then I get a yellow error at the top that says: Unable to login at server. Probably the wrong configuration, username or password.

I have checked and everything looks correct. Any help or ideas appreciated.

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?

after the last update 141.0, it is not possible to create a new message, neither via the speed dial button nor the New Message button nor ctrl+N po poslednej aktualizácii sa nedá vytvoriť nová správa, ani cez tlačidlo rýchlej voľby, ani Spáva- nová správa, ani ctrl+N

Hello,

After the automatic update of Thunderbird Destkop (Windows 10) to version 1.140.0 and then a manual update to 141.0, I cannot send emails using port 587 with STARTTLS (e.g., for an account hosted at smtp.office365.com).

Sending mail from other accounts via port 465 using SSL/TLS still works. Also, using an older version for Linux with the same setting for port 587 works.

Does anyone else experience a similar problem? Has there been a change in the implementation of STARTTLS?

I am suddenly unable to create new messages in Thunderbird. If I try to click new message or the message area on the taskbar it does nothing. It will also not work in troubleshooting mode. I am using version 141.0 64 bit.

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.

'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.

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

My windows 11 computer stopped accessing yahoo mail. I get message

Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox.

I have tons of space.

I just received the latest email update Freedom. I am unable to determine how I can access my new messages. On the old version, I would click File in the top left corner and access a dropdown menu. On that menu, I would click New Messages, which would open another box to the right which listed my email address. I would click on that address and my new messages would download. The new version does not have the File tab at the top. Clicking the cloud arrow down icon at the top left does nothing. How can I access my new messages? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can access my messages on another browser but I have saved messages on Thunderbird that I would like to maintain access to.

Since Thunderbird v. 140.1 installed, have been unable to send emails. Get pop-up instruction to check password. Using AOL, which requires OAuth2. But OAuth2 no longer appears in the Authentication Method drop-down menu.
