Linux Tbird 140.7.1esr (64bit) running under Ubuntu 22.04, and with imap on all my email accounts. I normally manage emails locally in Tbird, hardly ever go to webmail.

In my list of Local Folders, there are two which show up with the name 'Outbox' and identical icons. Viewing each folder's Properties, the name Outbox is unsurprisingly given for both, but their locations are different: mailbox://nobody@Local Folders/Unsent Messages mailbox://nobody@Local Folders/Outbox

1. Are these two folders supposed to have the same purpose? One (or both) must be for the [in my case extremely rare] situation where I compose an email but its actual sending is frustrated (eg router turned off).

2. I cannot rename either folder, eg by attempting to edit the Name field when viewing the properties box. If their function is distinct, being able to change the name to reflect this would be nice.

3. If the purpose is the same, presumably only one is actually used by Tbird. Which one? Can I delete the other, and if so how - just in case Tbird would automatically recreate it?

Not a big deal - this has been the situation for a long time (brain fog stops me remembering just how long) - but this is untidy and it niggles.

Hello, my email account works fine, but my wife's account keeps getting the message "Unable to write the email to the mailbox." The message at the bottom of the screen says that there are 56 emails to be downloaded from the host, but the error message does not allow the download to occur. Thank you for any assistance. John.

First - sorry if the post is messy, but I don't see a Preview option today

PRELUDE: When I create a email to send to Joe@hotmail.com, on clicking SEND, a popup wants a password for a different account:

EXAMPLE: (emails are faked here for privacy)

Assume I have the following email accounts:

1. john@fakes.xy
2. jane@morefakes.vc
3. fred@deftly.xc

I compose a email to john@fakes.xy. I click SEND, and there is a popup stating:

Status: Sending message... Progress {progress bar}

and second popup with :

Enter your password for jane@morefakes.vc on mail.{IP name}.com

and a third popup with:

Login to server mail.{ip-name} with username jane@morefakes.vc failed

I have attached a screen cap (redacted) as seen in actual.

SUMMARY:

• When addressing email to Joe, upon SEND, the errors show password to use is listing a different account.

I ran Troubleshooting Mode with no errors, except, same thing. Wants password from a different email account.

Thanks for reading this, ~r

Hi. Yesterday I started getting a error saying TB could not connect to server (enter password). TB has been working ok for ages nothing has been changed (user name/password). I had read about adding OAuth2 to setting but cannot see this option in the dropdown box for connections. I have aske TB to test connection both in/out going and it tells me it can connect. I have added 3 screen shots. I can still send and receive emails via Yahoo web page and using mobil phone. thanks

I get many emails as a member of a group, and often want to reply to the sender and CC the other recipients. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem possible to CC all, delete my email address from the list, and add the sender’s email in the Reply box. What is the best way to achieve the addressing I want.

I cannot send from an Office365 account but can get mail - it simply says 'sending' but nothing happens.

I am using Owl (paid subscription) for my Office365 account.

I also have another email that is a simple IMAP account and that works beautifully!

Told Lin in earlier reply, this seemed to be working OK. Spoke too soon. Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.office365.com failed. The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

On Bazzite, currently I'm running Thunderbird version 140.8.1esr.

I only have one account set up in Thunderbird, which is my iCloud email account. I followed the steps in this guide to set up my iCloud email account in Thunderbird, and it went very smooth.

No matter what I do, no matter how many times I mark all folders as read, the icon in my dock ALWAYS displays a new mail notification.

I've removed and re-added my account twice, and have uninstalled and re-installed Thunderbird from the Bazaar store. iCloud on the web also does not show that I have any new messages.

For some reason, Thunderbird is prematurely word wrapping (or inserting line breaks) on emails that are sent.

I'm using default 'HTML Style' Defaults, but have also messed around with those to see if I can fix the issue - to no avail.

I found an old 'question' on the support site where this seemed to have been resolved (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1307490). Unfortunately, the Solution doesn't appear to apply to modern Thunderbird versions (e.g., version 148); I can't find the suggested setting to change.

As of today, I am unable to link to, or log onto, my email server - gmx.com..... Have never had a problem until today.

Today, when I opened up Thunderbird, ALL my email accounts came back with an error message stating that the login to the server failed (see attachment). I don't know what happened.

I checked all of my settings, and they are all correct (according to GMX), I tried to re-enter my passwords, and even re-booted my computer in the off chance that there may have been a booting issue. Nothing helped.

Can someone tell me what's going on? Why is Thunderbird all of a sudden not linking with the email servers? How do we fix this when all of the protocols are correct - and have been all along? Any thoughts, suggestions, or advice?

Thank you....

On more than one occasion I get the following message after sending an email. I'm told that a copy of my outgoing email has not been saved in the sent box:

"access errors. You can retry or save the message locally to Local Folders/Sent-aidan@clockwork1.plus.com."

Is there any way that I can overcome this issue and have a copy saved automatically, please?

I receive the following error message: Not enough disk space to download new messages. Try deleting old mail, emptying the Trash, and compacting your mail folders and then try again.

I get the message when I want to download new emails. The suggestions to fix the problem DO NOT WORK. I cannot compact, the Trash is empty and I know there is GB's of space on my C: drive, which contains all Windows software. What to do?

j'ai ajouté à thunderbird mon compte de messagerie infomaniak . l'intégration s'est faite correctement, mais je ne peux pas envoyer de mail à partir de thunderbird infomaniak sauf si je remplace le serveur sortant mail.infomaniak.com par smtp.gmail.com. quelqu'un sait ce qu'il se passe?

I can send but not received emails from my several accounts. I know there's email on some, as I can see and read them with Mailwasher.

I have noticed previous posts here with the same problem, but I haven't seen a viable solution. (I'm on a new computer since last week.)

I am having trouble sending in email, i have gmail server (i am getting a time out error) i have the latest version of thunderbird i am receiving message ok, just cant send
