I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Since yesterday when Thunderbird updated, I either get an alert sound for new email all of the time (even when Thunderbird is closed and I don't want to be alerted) or none of the time, if I turn the sound off (meaning even when I have Thunderbird open, I get no sound alerting me of new email). How do I set it so that when the program is open, the alert sound works, but when the program is closed, the alert sound does not interrupt my other activities (like work video calls)? Thanks for any help with this.

Been using ThunderBird for many years to access my ATT email account ( [edited] @pacbell.net), but for the last three days it won't allow ThunderBird to access it and download emails. Have reloaded T-Bird, Changed passwords,, etc. but no good. Called ATT twice and they say since I can download from ATT sites it's T-Bird that's the problem....why after this many years???

I am receiving the following error message when I try to download messages from my Comcast.net account:

The RETR command did not succeed. Error retrieving a message. Mail server mail.comcast.net responded: Message 41395 expunged.

This just started happening yesterday, and I can no longer download any messages from the account. Comcast has no clue why this is happening.

'''When are you going to add Categories to Contacts? '''

It is the only feature holding me back. I use outlook for Windows and I am able to sort my contacts by categories. In addition, I use a syncing software called Companion Link/Deja Office which syncs those contacts with those categories on either my iPhone or Android. This allows me to focus on targeting specific people for either personal or business use. Your software has that feature for calendar items. Why not integrate that same feature for the contacts which has a higher degree of importance. I see that a multitude of people have asked for quite some time already even offering to donate money if implemented.

Thanks so much :-)

The spell checker is constantly using English (USA) and not English (UK). No matter what I set it to it reverts. I suspect every time there is an update it does this and it is extremely annoying for anyone living this side of the pond (In the UK).

PLEASE can we have English (UK) by default. I notice when you add it to the list of languages in settings the USA version cannot be deleted.

I am getting desperate as the harder I try to sort this out the bigger mess I get in.

I think after about 20 years I may have to stop using Thunderbird but I do not know what other Email client to replace it with as they all seem to be confusing.

The archiving problem particularly relates to gmails but I cannot understand the gmail webmail system at all - it seems to sort emails into categories I do not understand or need or want to use.

I cannot send a screen shot easily due to the confidential nature of emails

Keeping got massage: The folder 'Inbox on parkerlin@hochien.com' could not be compacted because writing to folder failed. Verify that you have enough disk space, and that you have write privileges to the file system, then try again.

Have clean up all In box mail and compacted it, but still has same problem .

I have made many attempts to move Thunderbird from my old Windows machine to my new one. The old machine was running Windows 8.1, the new one is Windows 11. I've exported, then imported using all the different ways listed but can't get all the data. I've had some success doing it one account at a time including my address book and accounts setup information and they are working properly but can't get the folder data for my accounts or any Local Folders for some reason. I don't want to mess up what I've been able to successfully migrate so I'm reluctant to doing a mass migration again. Is there a way I can migrate doing it one folder at a time without messing up the other ones?

Hello Community Please help me to start again with Firefox from scratch. Last Month I downloaded Thunderbird email app and set up with a new email account using mailfence. Now I find that my mailfence email address was only a free trial and I have to pay to continue to use. I now wish to set up with my original free email with gmail. I did uninstall the Thunderbird app and then installed from fresh. Unfortunately it still has the mailfence email remembered in the Thunderbird App. How so I start again from scratch using my gmail account instead of the mailfence account that has now expired? Thank you in anticipation of you help.

Hello, have the latest version of Thunderbird (102.5.0.) in Windows 11 Pro. I'm using 6 IMAP accounts there.

I want to stop check mails automatically in one account, so I unchecked: - Check for new messages at startup - Check for new messages every 10 minutes - Allow immediate server notifications when new messages arrive

Problem is thunderbird still checks for new mails of that account and shows me notifications. What is bad please?

Tried to clean install of thunderbird, didn't help it. Thank you

I've used TBird for years as my program for email. Monday, Oct. 24th, a window popped up, saying my "user name" was not valid. Another window said to "retry, change Pword" BUT I can go to the Centurylink.net web site for email, sign in, using my user name, and 'old' password and get in. It seems that the problem is with TBird or Centurylink. Century link is in progress of selling to Brighthouse. Note: on their email site, I've lost a lot of emails, but it seems to work. At least, I can receive and send emails thru their site! I've checked my TBird account for SMPT settings. (another window that pops up saying "check smtp settings") They are correct for highermark@embarqmail.com. the default setting reads:" Outgoing server-smpt.embarqmail.com(default). I just want someone to enable me to use my user name so I use TBird (with all my emails and info)......or tell me what to do.....or fix the problem.

 I may have to eliminate TBird program and try to start over, with importing? IF so, how can I delete the TBird program? I'm using Win. 10. Settings? mjm

I have Thunderbird 102.4.2 (64bit) for Linux. With this upgrade, the "subfolders" now open at startup. I have to then close each one. It is most annoying. How do I prevent this? Thank you.

When I receive a message in Thunderbird and click Reply, the Write window opens with some of the quoted text in the reply — that which has more than one line in a paragraph — containing overlapping lines. That overlap does not occur in the original received message.

Hi

Why does Thunderbird want all my personal information.......??

I'd be MORE THAN happy to make a donation to support you guys, but I am NOT happy about all the info I have to provide - and frankly I'm bot going to be bullied into giving info I don't want to. I donate to Wikipedia and they don't ask such intrusive questions - so why do you? You say that less than 2% of TB users donate - this PROBABLY the reason why they don't...!

And the fact that there is no direct link to ask somebody ask question about this subject, is really frustrating.

Thanks

Delivery Status Notification Does Not Work!!! and hasn't for about a year~! I have the latest version of Thunderbird, Ver 103.3.2 (64 bit) ! I am wondering if there if it's my Breezeline email server or is there an issue within my About:Config properties?

With just 2 email addresses that I have been using for years, I suddenly get this Undeliverable message when attempting to send emails using Thunderbird:

"The mail client submitted this message with bare line feeds, which cannot be sent via SMTP protocol DATA command and receiving system does not support BDAT"

I can receive emails from the 2 addresses fine, I just can't send to them through Thunderbird. When I sign in to Hotmail Outlook Live I can send and receive to these addresses with no problem.

I'm stumped! Any ideas? Can I reset Thunderbird?

Thanks

Unified Folders in Thunderbird 115 for mac no longer works. Useless! Computer Tech specialist here and have been using Thunderbird for ages. With this latest version, the inbox, sent, etc etc etc no longer display as unified. The Unified Folders category when ON shows as its own item in the left column with a single empty inbox! Scrolling up and down to each account for each subfolder is a waste of time!!! Hope you fix this ASAP!!!!! Unified folders works fine in 10.12.13 but I cannot got back to that due to your system.

Today my 102.0.1 has disappeared. TB has worked for me for decades including now on 102.0.1 which is the latest version. I've downloaded 102.0.1 again but still doesn't show up.
