I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Is there a way to play a certain continuous tone when an incoming mail from a certain sender (e.g. xyz@example.com or just @example.com) comes in? That would be an extremely useful function, e.g. if you are waiting for particularly important and urgent mails and, for example, want to be woken up in the night when this particular important mail arrives.

I used to use Thunderbird exclusively, but GoDaddy dumped my three main mailboxes into Exchange Server; even with Owl, Tbird could only be used for one of them, so I was forced into Outlook for those accounts. But I kept Thunderbird to use with the non-GoDaddy mailboxes. However. I did not remove the GoDaddy accounts from Thunderbird, as I was busy. Now, when I click the Thunderbird icon on my taskbar, Outlook comes up instead. Ditto when I enter Thunderbird on the start menu! It's not even my normal Outlook, which has my main three mailboxes. but an Outlook that shows only the least-used of the three. How do I get Thunderbird back? And when I do, how do I delete those three mailboxes from it?

This topic was closed but the Bug was never fixed for Mac. The problem is, sometimes a spelling is correct as intended or not, depending upon its context in the email body. But the Spell Check Window covers that up as it blocks the middle of the email body.

It can't be moved in Thunderbird for Mac.

A previous post - now archived - suggested a left click on the (spell check?) window title area would allow moving the window. But that only works on ... Windows ... because it certainly does NOT work on a Mac. No click-drag, left or right, resulted in un-anchoring the spell check window from the center of the email body.

One example is when I used the word Add-ons. The spell check stopped at "ons", wanting to correct it to "one". If "ons" was by itself, I could see that. But I couldn't know that it referred to "ons" from Add-ons because the spell-check window covered that text.

I have been successfully accessing my icloud account with thunderbird on Windows 10 for years and then on Tuesday (June 4th) it went weird. All I am left with is thunderbird's cached inbox e-mails. If I try to update the list of new e-mails, it just sits there with no errors reported. If I try to read some cached e-mails I can see the full text. (I am setup to always read plain text), but for some, I just get whitespace. I see "myname@icloud.com connected to imap.mail.me.com..." on the status line for most folders, but some just clear that status message.

I ran into an error on my Windows 11 PC. If I add an attachment via the system menu called up by the right mouse button, the size of the attachment is displayed in terabits and cannot be sent :-)

Blocking remote content by default is a very positive security feature. But needing to add each and every email address individually is NOT optimum and wastes a lot of time. We really need a method to globally allow remote content from specified domains. For instance, it would be handy to allow remote content from any/all email from IBM, but I certainly don't want this for gmail.com addresses. This seems like a very simple improvement to code.

I am not receiving emails and when I try to send an email I get a warning "Sending of the message failed.Peer’s Certificate issuer is not recognized.The configuration related to smtp.themessagingco.com.au must be corrected" I have made sure that the account information for incoming and outgoing mail is correct, but that is the limit of my understanding of what I can do. How can I correct this problem?

Hi. I have 3 e-mails. recently I could not receive on another e-mail. I called my cable tech. he said that thunderbird hadupdated and some users had problems. He had me change my port to 578. I did and now the same e-mail will send but not receive. so three of my e-mails will send and only 2 will receive. I am very ignorant with computer use. I use a flip phone for travel. thanks dan

I am running 115.4.1 (64-bit). I noticed fairly recently that my main gmail account is not downloading the latest emails. I went to "Help", "About Thunderbird" and got the following error:

Update failed. Updates available at https://www.thunderbird.net/

I'm including a screen capture of the error.

Am I supposed to simply download the version at "https://www.thunderbird.net/" and then run that?

Thanks for any help.

HI

Outh2 Saved Password entries is being removed automatically after few months in password manager. It is asking again to Re-Authenticate. After authentication, It is getting removed again after few months. Please help.

Hello, The Optimum SMTP is recently rejecting emails I am sending from one of three Optimum email accounts that I have. When using the one account I get the following rejection notice:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Spam detected by content scanner. Message rejected (ID 6661A65F0037E564). Please check the message and try again.

This only occurs when I use Thunderbird to send messages. If I use Outlook on the same computer, I do not get the error. Previously, I was getting the error on all three accounts, but when I upgraded to 64-bit Thunderbird, the problem went away. Of course, I called Optimum and they said that the problem was on my side and were not helpful. They also don't take any responsibility if you don't use their web interface.

I would appreciate any ideas that anyone has on what I could try to eliminate this problem. Thank you.

This has probably already been asked, but I can't find anything related to it. Ebay sends email from members that looks like "randomxyz@members.ebay.com". I would like to add the domain "members.email.com" so email from ANY member will be whitelisted and have remote content displayed. If this is possible, how do I set it up? Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone. I'm sure that Thunderbird used to have the option to show conversations (received AND sent messages) in folders especially useful in the Inbox. However I can;t see a way to enable that in the current version. I know I can go to conversation view in the context memory but it seems crazy that is an option by context but can;t be set as a default for 'normal' viewing in folders - all I can set is to see half the conversation with the trail of received messages but not my replies intermixed with them so I see the whole conversation. Am I missing a setting somewhre? Thanks fo any help.

I’m not able to download any of my emails. This is the message that senders who try to email me receive.:

“A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  laurie@scottspencer.net     LMTP error after end of data: 452 4.2.2 <laurie@scottspencer.net> Not enough disk quota:     retry timeout exceeded”

I searched online for troubleshooting guidelines and did everything suggested that I found. I also uninstalled and then reinstalled Thunderbird. None of those things that I tried worked. I’m also not able to delete any messages. When I try to trash them, they just pop right back up.

This is my primary business email account and I would appreciate any help getting it up and running as soon as possible. Thank you so much!

I use comcast.net for my mail email, Gmail for my second, and I want to add both. THat is another topic I want addressed if it is possible to have tow simultaneous email accounts with the same Thunderbird email program, so I can switch back and forth when I need to.

My main concern is that when I go to add comcast email, it automatically forces me to sign in to the Xfinity website. I also have two-factor authentication where I click on the Xfinity app on my phone giving me permission to sign in.

It tries twice even after I click on the Xfinity app to give permission, but it fails. So, Thunderbird is pointless without me being able to successfully add my email client. What say you? And do not in any way point the finger at me, my devices, my phone or Comcast. Please get the solution, without being a narcissist, to fix my problem. I have all I can stand of this in the past. I appreciate it kindly, and thank you.

And I am not allowed to use any other form to sign in, even a text message because I use the Xfinity app. I am unable to change that, so get this fixed for me. I used Microsoft Outlook in the past with no issues with Xfinity and Gmail. See image screenshot on this post
