I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Where are by Thunderbird gmails stored? I am running two email server programs right now (Outlook and Thunderbird). Outlook stores gmail in the cloud and there are thousands of them, Naturally I do not want TBird to store all emails on my hard drive but I am told they are on my hard drive. If so this will eat up ALL my disc space. Where does TBird store my emails? If on my drive then how to I control how many are saved there and what will saved in the gmail cloud?

Upon upgrading to Supernova, 115.11.0 (64-bit) on Kubuntu I can no longer sent any messages to any of my mail servers. All are SMPT; gmail and other commercial servers. The hardware configuration is as follows: KDE Plasma V 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks V. 5.115.0 QT V. 5.15.13 Kernel V 6.6.6-0608-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform Wayland Intel Processor i7-1260P Thunderbird was working fine prior to the upgrade. There were no crashes nor other sources of data corruption during the upgrade process. The original upgraded version was via snap; I have removed that version and installed the update from the bzip/tar on the Thunderbird site. I have attempted to restore profile data from known good sources with no luck. Thunderbird in --safe-mode still has the same problem. I have traced the issue down to what appears to be the primary error and filed a bug report (bug 1898759) in case I am not unique.

NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIAutoCompleteInput.popup] LoginManagerChild.sys.mjs:149

Any suggestions for correcting this issue or debugging this issue would be greatly appreciated before I attempt to download the code, build, and debug for myself. Thanks!!!

I have 4 email accounts in Thunderbird that I have used for more than a year. Suddenly last week I got the following error when sending from one of the accounts: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable. Sender address is not allowed..Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again." I checked this account's settings to make sure they were identical to those of the other three. Finally, I deleted the account and re-added using the same information. I was able to send email for about 12 hours. Then, the same error returned. What is wrong? What should I do? Note that I can send email from this account using webmail on ionos.com, my website host where all the email addresses reside.

My Thunderbird account is synchronised to my BT mail account using IMAP

Although the folders that i have built in my BT mail box appear on Thunderbird the contents of those folders do not, all I have on Thunderbird is empty folders

Any ideas why?

Thunderbird Tech Support I need to look back at about a 5-year history of my e-mails and their associated conversation strings. If I move e-mail files from the Thunderbird “Inbox” to various “Archive” directories I’ve set up, will this resolve e-mail Disk Quota Limit warnings from my “Domainit” domain? Conversely, if I delete e-mails from my Domainit e-mail account, to resolve the Disk Quota warnings, will I still be able to bring forward the e-mails I’ve Archived in the Thunderbird directories. Or is it all far more complex than this? I would appreciate some guidance on this. Kevin Powell

I keep getting this error message as a popup window that needs to be closed out. It happens over and over again and it can pertain to Inbox, Junk, Sent, etc. It's just annoying but doesn't seem to matter. How can I get rid of it?

What is the meaning of the various symbols I some times see next to messages in my Inbox? They're small, but some appear to be arrows?

Is there a list somewhere that would explain them all to me? That would be most useful!

For the last several weeks, whenever I check my email the new ones arrive but the latest one is always above what's displayed and I need to scroll up or I miss it. In other words, the the most recent email is out of view and the top one showing is #2. Hope that makes sense. Using latest version.

I can't get smtp to work with multiple yahoo accounts. When I get the account settings window, it shows the correct smtp server for yahoo. (smtp.mail.yahoo.com) but when I click on the edit SMTP button, there is a section called "Security and Authentication" section with 3 lines

     Connection Security:             [SSL/TLS]
     Authentication Method :        [0AUTH2]
     User Name:                             [*****1@cox.net]  (My accounts were transferred from COX to Yahoo)

If I edit the SMTP on any of my cox accounts, it changes them all to the same user name. If I want to send mail from any cox account, I have to go to account settings first and edit the smtp and put in the correct account. This is very tedious.

I have noticed that my gmail accounts do the same thing, but gmail doesn't care. Here is the error I get when sending mail before going to account settings first to change the account.

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Request failed; Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again.

I have multiple nstmp files in a subfolder of IMAPMAIL of TBird 115 using GMail in Windows 115. The files range in size from 170 to 335 megs. Do I need to keep them all, or can some be deleted? On a weekly basis, I do move mails I want to archive from the server to Local Folders and compact the various folders, as well as regularly deleting mail I don't need from the IMAP Inbox. I keep mail in the IMAP Inbox that I need to be able to access from anywhere. It looks like the size of the NSTMP files seems to follow the historical size of the IMAP Inbox. Thanks!

I use Thunderbird for mail.cablespeed.com email accounts as well as a gmail account. The last few days all outgoing messages on the cablespeed accounts do not go, instead I get this error message:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: [VO-1] Message blocked due to spam content in the message.. Please check the message and try again.

What is happening? What can I do about it? Tech support (such as it is) from Astound Broadband, the current owner of cablespeed, says that they have ended the use of all 3rd party email clients...without notification. They want me to use their web email. My contacts are on Thunderbird, my email folders are on Thunderbird. What a headache. The gmail account works as it should on Thunderbird.

This is new. What can I do?

Using Thunderbird version 115.11.0 (64-bit) with Windows 7 OS and THREADING TURNED OFF.

When I receive a second reply to an email I've sent via one of my email service providers that uses an outlook365 server, my thunderbird view hides it beneath the first reply unless I manually intervene by clicking on the "greater than" sign associated with the first reply. When I do click on the first reply the greater than sign spins clockwise 90 degrees and the second reply appears below the first as if it were in a subdirectory.

The above behaviour is very inconvenient because I am prone to missing the second reply and have trouble anticipating its existence. Admittedly the unread second reply does change the first reply's text property to "bold" but I much prefer to see the new message without having to manually click on everything bold to check.

Another email service provider I use also has an Outlook365 server but second replies to emails are not hidden in its associated thunderbird inbox?

Can anything be done in thunderbird to stop this "feature" or is it absolutely fixed by service providers?

Since Thunderbird was upgraded to 115.10.1 (64-bit), it now fails to send SMTP messages with the following error.

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) ***.mail.pairserver.com was lost in the middle of the transaction. Try again.

This affects all six(6) accounts in Thunderbird, all of them can receive and edit e-mail messages; however, all of them fail to send e-mail messages.

Prior versions of Thunderbird have worked with this configuration for many years.

Other e-mail clients such as Evolution do not have this issue and I have confirmed with my provider that Thunderbird is no longer sending e-mails.

Any thoughts on how to roll back Thunderbird until this issue is resolved?

Good day,

I am encountering an issue with opening messages through the global search feature. Despite being able to locate the specific email, clicking on it does not display anything as depicted in Figure #2. I believe the email is stored in one of the folders.

I would greatly appreciate your guidance on how to properly open messages using the global search feature in order to reply based on the original correspondence.

Thank you. May

this interface uses pop3

When emails are pulled, I can see that it pulls, let's say, 50 messages, the notification shows 25 new messages but the inbox only shows 10. I have looked everywhere for the "missing messages" but don't see them anywhere. I have also had some people tell me that they sent an email response (so they were not entering the email address) and I don't see it.

What could cause these differences?

Several times lately I click on an email from cnet and it will not load. The reason is when Thunderbird passes the link to Firefox there is an extra https// added to the beginning: https//https//cnet... . Not all email links from cnet start with https//, but when they do I must manually delete the first one (in Firefox). Not sure which program, Thunderbird or Firefox, is causing the problem, but it is annoying.
