I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

First of all, I would like to thank you for allowing me to receive e-mail through your organization for quite a few years now. Up until about 3 days ago, there has never been any problems with it. Why is it, that I have NOT been able to receive my e-mails FOR THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS NOW? The last thing you sent me was a notice that there was some sort of faulty access by someone to my e-mail account and that I would have to change my password. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO DO THIS, BUT EVIDENTLY, MY ATTEMPTS HAVE FAILED. Could you please help me now to accomplish this?

Thunderbird has for the past few days begun giving me this error message every time I lick into your program. "Login to server imap.gmail.com with username rg.mccormick43@gmail.com failed". I am also recieving this message for aol.com.

Interestingly, gmail messages continue to come into the program but I cannot send any messages. Unless this is fixed quickly I will drop your program and go back to using google, which I hate, for my email program.

Win10/64-22H2 New installation of TB.

Attempting to create an email account in Set-up Your Existing Email Address. After entering the email information and clicking "Continue" the IMAP data popup showed correct information with the "Configuration found at email provider". Clicking "Done" causes a loop on "Checking password". Attempting to "Configure Manually" and Clicking on "Done" gives me an "Incoming server already exists." message.

The only option I have is to cancel the configuration and start over. I have done this several times.

Issue 1385895: Checking Password loop Issue 1380451: Incoming server already exists message

What did I change?: When typing a TB email, the sentence only types half the width of the page and wraps to the next line. Would look something like this: Isn't it great to be able to utilize the community to be able to resolve this issue I am having. I certainly hope it's a simple setting.

All contacts - email addresses- have disappeared - perhaps the compact request I received a day or 2 ago could have caused this??? Jerry Erickson jerry.erickson@midstatesd.net

I can receive mails - but not send mails An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: Service unavailable. Client host 80.208.65.43 rejected for spamming issues. Client Address 80.208.65.43 block for spam incident; http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=80.208.65.43 Service unavailable.

For the past several years I have been dealing with Thunderbird occasionally freezing on me, with the window losing focus and the titlebar saying (Not Responding).

It appears to happen when TB is downloading email. If the emails are large (as some are) TB stops everything to deal with it. I have looked for where to change any settings to allow for process threading, since that was the promise of Windows waaaaay back in 1990. Not so, apparently with TB. Even if I'm in a separate window composing an email, it freezes. I wrote about this back in 2018...

I noticed that this only happens when downloading emails from one particular account, which I use for receiving project code error debug reports. The emails are typically around 150k or slightly less. Not so huge that it should take so long to pull down, but the debug info is in many, many nested tables and divs. Is it trying to render them, even though I don't have them open?

In any case, I set that account to no longer collect. Yet, every once in a while, it still collects. Do I need to remove the account from TB altogether? I would like to be able to have this account checked every 15 minutes like my other five email accounts, which don't cause me any heartache, but it's driving me mad, especially when a throng of those emails come in, like 50 at a time, and I am effectively prevented from doing anything in TB for up to five minutes. I suppose I could craft the emails to be smaller (it's my own code that is sending the debug reports) but the info in there is there on purpose.

Is there a setting I can change somewhere to break off the processing for the main window and the compose windows?

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.
