I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Similar to an earlier post (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1398079), I have been using TB to connect to yahoo accounts without issue for years, but about a month ago one of two yahoo email accounts failed. Since one of the accounts still works without issue, not clear what's going on?

Ubuntu 22.04 Thunderbird 102.11.0 (64-bit)

I think perhaps it's the email account add / configuration step for several reasons. Let's call the account that works "A" and the not-working broken account "B". Early on, I deleted the "B" account and have since been trying to get this to work again. During the "add account" step, I've let TB configure automatically, which yields the same server info as "A", so I don't think that's an issue; The settings that show up when attempting to add "B" (same as "A") are in a screenshot. After you click "Done", there's a pop up to get Yahoo's password. I enter this, then click yes to the agreement, and *immediately* get the authentication error (another screenshot). The speed of this error is what has me suspicious. It made me think some local files somehow have incorrect info. I tried clearing history ("everything") and restarting, but same story.

Unfortunately, the earlier question doesn't have an answer. Any more clues about this?

Thanks in advance

I need to open Thunderbird in hidden mode. I have tried various methods but none worked. I have write vba script: Dim WShell Set WShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WShell.Run """" & "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" & """", 0 Set WShell = Nothing

I have tried PowerShell: Start-Process -WindowStyle hidden "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe"

And even the shortcut doesn't work when you select to run in minimized form.

Hello,

I use Thunderbird as my RSS reader, it actually works really well, thanks Thunderbird.

However, I have one nagging annoyance. The message pane on the main page reloads if i open a new tab, actually all the tabs reload when i open a new tab.

For example, my RSS loads youtube videos in its original page, I open one in a tab, click on another, that previous tab has now unloaded, reloads when i next click on it. Is there anyway to keep the message pane and the tabs loaded, rather than reloading every time?

Any help would be amazing thank you.

My Thunderbird was no longer able to compact my Inbox in my local folder. I tried clicking repair the Inbox... to my horror all my current emails went missing and now I am looking at emails from 2010 - 2017. Weirdly when I clicked get mail it loaded only current emails that I had not downloaded prior to the repair. I am on a mac and am using a pop3 account. Can I recover the current emails, some of which only lived in my Thunderbird Inbox as they had been manually removed from the server?

Thank you, Julie jul@creative-zoo.com

Back in April three Security Exception windows started popping up in TB 102.11.2 (not sending mail or retrieving mail) and if I view it, the certificate shows an expired date. The port being accessed is 2080.

  host2016.hostmonster.com:2080

I don't seem to be missing any mail and they just popup on their own at times (something in the background?). I use IMAP settings and Eset as my AV. It doesn't happen to my wife's TB install and she uses the same email server and AV. It happens on all four computers where I have my account being accessed by TB.

I have scanned the PC with ESET NOD32 and Malwarebytes and neither reports viruses. I don't want to override the warning so I have to close the three windows over and over and over and I am going mad....

I turned off the eset feature that says to ask if a SSL exception is reported. I set it to block, not ask, and rebooted. The popups continue and the email provider support says their certificates are up to date.

Anyone know why port 2080? Could it be related to something other than inbound and outbound email that TB is trying to access?

What do you suggest i use for an email program if you go forward with the Microsoft like abortion of Thunderbird? The new Beta version looks like crap what is wrong with the old layout??????? It looks like the Microsoft borg has infested your software department.

I installed the new beta version it pretty much looks 100% unusable and I almost lost all my emails when doing the install. fortunately I backed up the proper folders so I could go back the the usable version of Thunderbird.

I rebooted my computer and now Thunderbird says, "Sending of password for user johnrp9265@comcast.net did not succeed. Mail server mail.comcast.net responded: [AUTH] Authentication failed."

I've tried entering my password, but it repeatedly tells me that it's incorrect. I've tried several other passwords and none of them work. How do I reset my password for Thunderbird?

Using TB version 102.10.1. Been recently getting messages from three different senders that I wish to delete before they hit my inbox. I read the help article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/blocking-sender and followed the directions to set up a Block List filter, adding the senders to it. It seems to work automatically for two of the senders but not the other...I have to manually run the filter to make it work. Seems kinda pointless when, if it hits my inbox, I can just delete it anyway. Any ideas why it is still getting through the filter and how to fix it? See screenshots attached.

I have been using Thunderbird for years with few issues. I have had it set up on this computer for over a year without a problem. Now all of a sudden my one Yahoo subfolder is not syncing. Like I said it worked fine until a couple of days ago. Then wammo no new messages. Inbox and all other folders including the 3 other email accounts seem fine. I click get messages all my inboxes fill up. But this sub folder will not. I have tried removing the email and bringing it back. I don't know what else to try. Is there some way to force the folder to sync manually? It is really a problem as messages filter directly to this sub folder and I use it every day.

I was receiving my email from outlook.com and part way through, I get this message: The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop-mail.outlook.com responded: Server Unavailable. 21

I was able to read the emails directly on the server and deleted each after reading. But nothing else will come into Thunderbird. I get the above error each time.

Thunderbird has become unusable for me with the latest update on March 28th. It takes about 10-20 seconds to respond to clicks to delete emails. As you can guess, this makes it impossible to work with and I've had to switch to Outlook.

Whatever the issue is with this change, it needs to be resolved.

I'm unable to find away to revert back to the older version. Is there a link to older versions?

Hi dears,

I always use Thunderbird with the Quick Filter set to "Unread" messages.

When I delete an unread email, it disappears right away from the view, however when I mark an unread email as "Read" it stays there along with all other "Unread" emails: why doesn't it disappear (since I'm filtering for "Unread" emails and it is a "Read" one now)?

Thanks a lot for your time!

Hi there,

I've used (and liked using) Thunderbird as my email platform for more than a decade now. This morning I found out that my primary (GoDaddy supported) email account is no longer compatible with POP or IMAP settings. I've been trying to make the necessary settings changes with help from GoDaddy tech support, but they can't ensure that my contacts, emails, etc. will be saved in the process. Can you please explain how I can export/back up everything in my Thunderbird account before I make changes to the account?

Thanks,

After installing Thunderbird on new computer, I copied the profile from old computer. On the new computer I have two duplicate email names--one with emails from the last several months and one with only a week of new emails. How to fix the problem? I've tried removing Thunderbird and re-installing it, but the duplicates are still there? TIA

I have recently installed Thunderbird version 102.12.0 as my email server. I created a "Default Identity" and put in my first and last name in the "Your Name" section. When I send emails, however, the recipient only sees my first name and email address in the "From" line. I would like them to see my first and last name and not to see the email address in the "From" line.
