I have settings from Greenby to set up server connections for a new account. They are validated by thunderbird but, after, entering my greenby password, generates the error, below, which greenby claims is a thunderbird problem.
"Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nsIIOService.newURI] Show less
Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nsIIOService.newURI]"
Now my greenby password works on their systems
Now I'm very new to Thunderbird so not familiar with the commands
Any one any ideas ?

I have a Windows 11 computer using Thunderbird which has been working fine until last email received was 19.30 UK time on Sept 14. Now Thunderbird will not send or receive e-mails.
Talktalk webmail is working fine via browser.
I have checked all incoming and outgoing server settings and they appear correct. However, when I test server connections, they now fail with error message.
I have checked Windows firewall OFF for 5 minutes, but no change. I have added Mozilla Thunderbird to permitted apps within Windows firewall - again no change. I do not use a VPN.

My office has moved our emails onto a microsoft exchange server. I backed up my emails, removed all accounts, settings, passwords and then rebooted. Found instructions online. Went to add account > New mail. The account hub page after selecting "new mail" asks me for my name and email. after I input that, it then allows me to continue. It says "account settings found automatically" and offers me 3 options - IMAP, Exchange or Exchange (with owl add on). I select Exchange. In the left hand box next to the options, It shows all the email details and then at the end "authorisation by normal password". I try to click "edit configuration" but nothing happens, so I select "continue". The page now asks for a password. I input the password the IT shop guy gave us and then press continue but get an error message at the top - "unable to log in at server. probably wrong configuration, username or password". The only inputs available to me are the password line and the "back" or "continue" buttons. No trigger of my web browser occurs in order to input any Authorisation on microsoft via my Authenticator app.
What can I do (besides using OWL - I don't have the spare funds for yearly subscription)?
Thanks

In TB prior to v.155, folder message counts were not shown at all if the respective folders were empty. That is, instead of showing "0", TB did not show anything.
Now, after updating to TB v.155.0.1, I see dashes (horizontal lines) in the folder tree to the right of each empty folder.
Is it possible to revert back to the original behaviour and get rid of those unsightly dashes? They only add visual clutter (my opinion, obviously) while not providing any extra information.
Thanks.

Hello fellow Thunderbirds,
I have been using Thunderbird for years and had thousands of emails in quite a few folders, with a shit-tonne of filters etc. My emails were running pretty well. I only use two addresses, but the folders help manage everything.
I just got a new computer last week. Prior to switching over to the new computer I read through the 'Export your Thunderbird Profile' help page, and the 'Move Thunderbird data to a new computer' pages. I've tried to follow all the info there (with a glitch, explained below).
I am using a Windows system and have gone from Win10 to Win11.
I have the following data:
I tried to swap the above data into the same spots on the new computer, but alas, it's not working. I *may*, however, have fucked it up myself...
So... When I got the new computer, I immediately downloaded Firefox, but, alas, I entered my email's details before closing it down. It did download a few off the server, but only a day's worth (before I realised I screwed up).
As soon as I realised I'd mucked up, I uninstalled Thunderbird and deleted the files on the new computer (you know how when you download it doesn't always remove all the stuff, so I tried to do this).
I reinstalled Thunderbird, but closed it prior to loading the email addresses on (as instructed). I then transferred all the above data into the corresponding file areas on the new computer. However, everytime I try to run the program it just goes to the standard open screen (with the popup that prompts you to enter your email addresses and details into it - see image, below, in case I'm not explaining it right).
Anyway, I'd appreciate any help you might be able to give me as I'm desperate to get my emails running again and have access to all the saved emails which were in my system. Kindly. Larysa.

Hello
I use Thunderbird (153.2 0esr) on a win 11 PC.
I have some POP email accounts with btinternet which work.
I want to change. them to IMAP accounts using the same email addresses.
Before I do this I have several minor problems within Thunderbird, which I would like to sort out before copying the Thunderbird files as a backup.
Rather than list them all, it's possible that fixing the first may solve others.
When I open Thunderbird I see this message... see FIRSTCalendar if it hasn't been inserted into the text
I have never (knowingly) used BT's calendar. Clicking cancel removes the report and does not stop any of the BT mail accounts working.
I tried using the username and password of the default account but password of the default account without success. At a later stage this appears...
See SECONDcontacts if not inserted here
The address displayed is one that I have deleted from my BT Email account.
It is no longer shown as one of my BT accounts in the email management page in MYBT or in Thunderbird
Again, clicking Cancel does not stop my BT email accounts working.
Any suggestions how to fix this, would be welcome.
Cheers
Dave

Ive been sending a weekly invite message from Thunderbird to same 40 recipients - no prob until today, when i got this message:
Sending of the message failed. The message was not sent due to exceeding the allowed number of recipients. The server responded: Policy-SC01 You’ve reached your sending limit. Don’t worry, you can send again soon..
I contacted Virgin support who shared my screen and played around with some of the Thunderbird settings. No solution so they said contact Thunderbird support, hence message. At time of this message i cannot even send to one recipient......would appreciate advice on here if possible.

Thunderbird suddenly stopped working properly today, 15 September 2026. Webmail for the same email account is working normally: I can both send and receive messages. However, Thunderbird is having problems with both incoming and outgoing mail. • Thunderbird connects to the IMAP server, sometimes very slowly, but then does not retrieve new messages. • Sending a message from Thunderbird fails because it cannot connect to the outgoing SMTP server. • Thunderbird's own update also fails. This has never happened to me before. • I have restarted Thunderbird and also restarted the Mac, but the problem remains. • I have not changed any Thunderbird account settings. The fact that webmail is working normally makes me wonder whether this is a Thunderbird problem rather than a problem with the email service. Has there been a known Thunderbird problem affecting connections to mail servers or the Thunderbird updater, and could these problems be related

In the last month or 2, when I delete an email it does not show in the trash folder. I can wait from 5 minutes to even the next time I reboot my puter to finally see it it trash. Sometimes it sends it to the all mail or important folder instead of trash. And if I delete from there, it still takes tons of time to end up in the trash folder...if it even gets there. This seems to be getting worse by the day. I have clicked repair folder, no change, I have cleared Thunderbird's cache, no change. It's also now taking way too much time to load an email that contains a picture. This happens with at least 3 of these gmails. I'm at a loss here and extremely frustrated and about to change these gmails from imap to pop. win10 and TB is up to date. But it doesn't compact folders as much as it used to either. Any help appreciated

Aloha. I'm helping a friend with setting up a new Windows 11 PC, and cannot get Thunderbird to connect to Spectrum's servers. I spent an hour on the phone with Spectrum support and they just gave up and said it must be an issue with Thunderbird. Here are the details:
- Brand new Dell 24 All-in-One EC24250 - Windows 11 25H2 plus all additional fixes. - All Dell drivers updated. - Thunderbird V155.0 64-bit
If I click on 'Get Messages' after a while I get: "Connection to server mail.twc.com timed out". I've gone into the config editor and changed mailnews.tcptimeout from 100 to 500 and still get the error.
In the Account Settings | Server Settings | Test server connection I get: An error occurred connecting to mail.twc.com:993.
I've tried this with both setting up a brand new account in Thunderbird, and also via copying the 'Thunderbird' folder from %appdata%\roaming from her old machine.
Email configuration (from Spectrum).
IMAP Settings Server name: mail.twc.com Port: 993 user name: abcd@hawaii.rr.com Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password
SMTP settings Server Name: mail.twc.com Port 587 Connection Security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal password
Can anyone help me troubleshoot this scenario?
