I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

I am using Thunderbird 115.10.1 on Windows 11. T keeps deleting my saved passwords. T takes a very long time to load. There are no saved passwords and I enter them all with the options to save. I check the passwords in Settings and they are all there correctly. When I next run Thunderbird it may or may not have them still saved. I check the Settings and they have gone; so I enter them again and they are saved OK. But then they are deleted some time later. I cannot see any pattern in the failure. I wonder if there is a problem with the outgoing server setttings. All the passwords are lost whether imap, pop (Ionos), hotmail or yahoo. Is there a way to clear out my profile or is this a problem with this T release. it did not happen until about 1-2 months ago. My profile is on a local NAS. Generally T seems to be quite unstable ; I get Not Responding too often.. Thanks

I get this message from Thunderbird on my desktop computer on app start up: ]Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

Thunderbird detected a potential security threat and did not continue to live.thunderbird.net. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.

This started suddenly about a week ago.

I have Thunderbird on laptop that works fine.

How can fix this?

I had to reinstall Windows 10 home , a clean install (all data on discs are lost) I used the windows backup settings and revoverd that majority of my files but how can I recover the emails from Thunderbird ?

I created my email signature and saved it as an HTML file. When I add it in my account settings, it displays the logo I have as a blank box. It also adds extra spacing in between each line. How do I get it to display the way I saved it?

Other than just the setup, how do I get Thunderbird to use "POP" rather than "IMAP" protocol for email? Until March of this year, I had Thunderbird setup as a "POP" client for email downloads from Frontier. And, then Frontier moved all of their email services to Yahoo and in the process, my Thunderbird wound up using "imap.mail.yahoo.com" instead of "pop3.frontier.com". I don't want IMAP - I want POP. So, I tried changing that in Thunderbird setup to "pop.mail.yahoo.com", but it does not respond.

Cox.net has discontinued e-mail, transferring all accounts to Yahoo.

If I 'add' my new Yahoo account to TB, can I combine future emails and future sent mail with the existing Cox.net history data in my TB account?

Thanks! phil

Posted this before, got no answers, not even a "no, there's no cure for that." Hoping for better this time.... My inbox suffers from disappearing email sometimes, and using the properties>repair cure works okay as far as I can tell (if someone emails me and doesn't ask about it later, how would I know?). But it has happened frequently enough, half a dozen times a month or more, that I do the repair by default pretty much every day just to be safe. That's easy but still a pain. Does nobody in MozillaWorld know a more permanent solution to free me from my constant missed mail paranoia? As I said, a reasonably authoritative "No, there isn't" is perfectly fine and much better than radio silence. Regards!

Recently all cox.net emails transferred to yahoo mail but kept the cox.net address. I prefer the Thunderbird format for emails, more options. How can I add them to Thunderbird? I already have them in Thunderbird with the cox.net address but no new emails are coming in on the ones that have already transferred to yahoo mail. (They didn't all go at the same time so I am still getting emails on the ones that didn't transfer yet.) Thanks.

I have read almost all messages on this website on how to turn of threading, none of them work or they are not available. 1. No option within the hamburger menu to turn off threading 2. mailnews.default_view_flags = 0 - tried this also, doesnt work 3. read every single option in all available settings, nothing that i can see refers to threading

Someone please help, its driving me crazy! thanks

A tab recently opened automatically in Thunderbird with the title 'ImportExportTools NG Help'. I would like to save this for future reference but can't find any way to do this. I tried dragging it to an Inbox, and looked for a 'save' option somewhere, but no luck. Finally, I copy/pasted the text into an email and sent it to myself, but lost some of the formating. Is there a way to save the original tab? Thanks

I have used Thunderbird with no problems for a decade. Now it works on startup and if I keep the tab open, but if I exit Thunderbird, clicking on the icon does not re-open it. Then I have to restart in order for Thunderbird to open. Once open it works fine. Something has changed to prevent Thunderbird from re-opening via the icon. Could you please suggest what is causing the problem and how to fix it. I am using Windows 10. Thank you

I'm about the 100th person to have this problem, so I have spent the better part of two days looking at all the threads and possible fixes. Like all the others, with no warning, my TBird stopped being able to send messages through Spectrum. It did NOT start immediately after I updated TBird to 115.9.0 (in March) but just three days ago. I have three roadrunner addresses in TBird, and one other one associated with a website I have. All have the same problem. My phone and my iPad send messages just fine.

I tried all the fixes that worked for some. They didn't work for me; I continued to get various, inconsistent Send Message Errors. I have come back to the recommended Spectrum setup for the outgoing SMTP server: mail.twc.com, Security is STARTTLS, Port 587, Authentication is Normal Password, my username is my email address. Of course the problem is not fixed.

What DID work was putting TBird in Troubleshooting mode, using the Spectrum setup above. While that is adequate, I would much rather find out what is wrong. I have Matt's 10/7/23 11:56 AM answer to someone, asking for the Troubleshooting Information. I will be glad to supply that but I need an answer to this message in order to do that. Thanks! Demaris

Here in Jan 2024 suddenly TB will no longer connect to any hotmail or outlook..it says I have to enter a new password but I have not changed my password and can get onto them if I go directly to that site. Any suggestions?

Hello. I have a new MacBook M2. Thunderbird ver. 115.10.01 (64-x). Very high consumption of memory and energy resources of the laptop. The email client simply eats up the battery! I didn't install any add-ons. Everything is out of the box. Reinstallation didn't help. What is the problem and what should I do?

I want to set unthreaded as default column view for all folders, and then that column view to be used on all new subfolders I create, but without having to use advanced settings various workarounds (it is and should be called for what it is...) which is currently the standard response when users is asking how to change from threaded to unthreaded column view. Why can't this setting be simply implemented as part of the standard gui?

Following instructions on how to move Thunderbird from old computer to new computer. I have copied from roaming Thunderbird folder to SanDisk but when it is 99% complete I get message saying "Are you sure you want to copy this file without its properties?" It gives me the options of Yes, Skip or Cancel. What do I do?

Some background When I installed Thunderbird on my new computer I got all my emails but not any of my calendar data or my Local folders. I am most interested on how I can get the calendar data and local folders on my new computer. Thank you

Thunderbird keeps asking for my password and password manager doesn't remember it. Each time I try to look at or respond to messages, it asks for my password --- I check the password manager box to remember it but it doesn't.

Should I delete thunderbird and then install a 2020 version where this was not a problem or is there a way to solve the problem with the latest current version

Peace, Alan
