Hello all I just started my thunderbird after years of outlook. And I have donated money I hope this helps to keep this alive. With recent 2FA changes I have had to move here. it is years of old emails and for now I am getting them to review later.

But everyone seems nice here.

When I am downloading I notice limits on number of messages in one mailbox in Thunderbird. One mailbox is everything inside one email username right?

Sometimes it stops at 10, 000 Is the limit based on thunderbird or the email server I am getting my emails from ???

Thank you for anticipated help!

I've been using Thunderbird for ages and I love it. Just today, 7/6, I can't send any emails. I last sent some on 7/4. I have not changed anything so what could be the reason for this. Here is the error I get: Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <a-123-lene@wi.rr.com> sender rejected. The email address you are sending as must match the email address you used to auth. Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again. My email is correct.

Since update to ver 128.1.0esr the "new subfolder" feature does not work (does not show window to name new folder). I have many subfolders and I rely on them heavily. I tried restarting Thunderbird, then Windows. I ran in debug mode with no success. I downloaded and installed 128.2.0esr again. No change.

Is it possible to go back to the earlier version? Which is? Thanks, Frederick

My friend has been using Thunderbird for a long time. Recently I installed her new PC and restored her account profile using the profile folder on her old PC. So far so good. The problem is that her mails are not organized in folders on the mail server but she has a whole collection of folders in her Thunderbird mail client and is concerned about loosing her mails if the new PC (or the disk) would crash at some point. Of course she could just re-install Thunderbird after fixing the crash problem and sync with the mail server, but then the folder structure would be lost. First I considered using a back-up program to keep a back-up of her Thunderbird profile using cloud storage. My second thought (should have been my first thought...) is that she already has a back-up, namely the mail server. The ISP does a better job than any local back-up program to keep her mails safe. Only the missing folder structure remains a concern. So here is the question: if I change the setting to sync all folders with the mail server, what will happen: 1 - the folders in Thunderbird will disappear (only the folders, not the mails) because there are no folders on the mail server 2 - the folder structure from Thunderbird will be mirrorred on the ISP's mail server. Which one is it?

TBird v102.12.0, 32bit, WIn7Ent.

Just started this morning, I'm getting the following error on one POP3 account:

The stat command did not succeed error getting message number and sizes mail server outlook.office.365.com responded server unavailable 21

This is happening only in TBird--I can get that account's email via my iPhone's built in email app--and it is happening on multiple PCs that are similarly configured.

I have multiple accounts set up on office365 (via GoDaddy). Others are working fine with the same settings.

What I have done so far, with no joy:

I have successfully logged into Office365 directly

I have regressed to an earlier version of TBird.

I have deleted and recreated the problem account (which required resetting the password). The deletion/recreation succeeded, but email will still not download for that account.

I prefer not to use IMAP.

Hi,

I have about 8 email accounts in Thunderbird, most with 20+ folders in each.

Everytime I move into a folder I have to set the filter to show only unread and in date order. Then as soon as I move to the next folder / email account, or exit Thunderbird, I have to do it again for every folder.

Likewise I always want to View Threaded.

What I want to do is keep these settings permanently over all accounts and folders. Is there a simple global way to set this please?

I'm sure I had it set up like this at one time but since about October it all changed.

Two days ago T-bird offered an update and this error message popped up.

Thunderbird Error: Platform version "115.3.1" is not compatible with minVersion >= 115.4.0

I found instructions to download and reinstall T-bird. When I did that there was a question about okaying a certificate with a warning. I chose not to do that because it sounded like it wasn't safe. T-bird wouldn't open and the same error message came up again.

How can I get T-bird to work and save my email??? Will Windows 10 System Restore take me back to when T-bird worked??? Help!!

It does not happen on two other gmail accounts.

I removed and added the imap gmail account … still happens.

It works fine on inbound … only problematic on outbound email.

When change the imap setting to STARTTLS, inbound won't work.

Don't see any setting for outbound only setting.

I've got two inboxes: x@domain1.com and y@domain2.com.

y@domain2.com receives emails from multiple domains in it's inbox, and I use inbox folders + Message Filters to easily view the inbox for each domain in a folder each.

x@domain1.com is an older account with just one email address attached to it. I want to delete this inbox after migrating all of it's inbox to y@domain2.com. I thought it'd be possible just by cutting and pasting the MBOX file of x@domain1.com into y@domain2.com's MBOX, but those emails didn't show in the y@domain2.com's inbox.

How can I accomplish this?

Cox.net is transitioning from in-house e-mail to e-mail handled by Yahoo.com. Our cox.net addresses are supposed to (and apparently have) transitioned so that they still work, but are processed through pop.mail.yahoo.com.

It is my turn to be transitioned and I have been successful in doing so to the extent that I can send and receive using my address(es) ...@cox.net through Yahoo web mail and on my Samsung phone. I have not, however, been successful in either sending or receiving mail using Thunderbird on my desktop.

I have been successfully using Thunderbird with POP settings for years with four different cox.net addresses. [I'm currently just trying to get two of them working -- unsuccessfully.]

I am using Windows 10 on a Dell desktop. I am using Thunderbird 115.9.0 (32 bit). I have reset the POP and SMTP settings as directed by Yahoo. One of the errors I receive is: "Error with Account .... Sending of password for ...@cox.net did not succeed. Mail server pop.mail.yahoo.com responded (SYS/TEMP) Server Error - Please try again later." It then asks me to retry or enter a new password. I have checked the passwords saved by Thunderbird and they are correct.

I suspect, that with all the Cox accounts being newly routed through Yahoo servers that I am not the only Thunderbird user experiencing this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is it likely to help if I uninstall and reinstall Thunderbird? Would I loose all my mail, etc. if I did that? [I did the delete and add account in my phone and that was successful, but I wasn't concerned about losing mail there as it is all on my desktop.]

Thanks in advance. billb1111

I installed Thunderbird on Windows 11 and moved my old profile over from my old computer.

Everything is fine except that HTTP: links will not open. It recognizes them because the cursor changes when I hover over them, but clicking on the link results in nothing happening.

Chrome is my default browser.

I have followed all the suggestions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/hyperlinks-in-messages-not-working including checking that a default browser is set, using the config editor to check that network.protocol-handler.external-default preferences are set to true, and trying it in Troubleshoot mode.
