I-Thunderbird Community Forum

After swapping to The Bat some years ago I decided to come back to Thunderbird again. So I installed Thunderbird 155.0.1 (64-bit) on my Windows 11 PC, and gradually re-created and connected the the accounts I had on the back. I also installed the ImportExportTools NG addon, then exported my emails from The Bat to Thunderbird. So far so good. However for some reason I created an account twice. There are both for the same GMX account, but one is POP and the other is iMAP. This mistake probably happened after a long session of setting things up and I just forgot about the first account.

I looked through the Thunderbird help and the answer most given was to the Thunderbird menu, select Account Settings, swap to the account you want to delete, and then press the large red DELETE BUTTON on the top level of its settings (next to the DEFAULT button). I've tried this and it doesn't work. There's no confirmation dialog (which is what I was expecting) and if I close and reboot Thunderbird the account is still there.

How can this be fixed?

when trying to restore/add a gmail account, all my account settings disappeared. Trying again to restore/add a gmail account, an error is showing 'Incoming server already exists' and I cannot connect.

having issues with accounts in my Thunderbird. when I go to account settings and click through the different accounts None of the details are changiong on the right panel, and I can't edit anything as it won't save.. I also can not delete any of the accounts, it just does nothing. I was just trying to add an acocunt, and somehow have come across issues.

I have attached a screenshot to assist If anyone knows what's happening please give me some direction It would be much appreciated.

Hello

I use Thunderbird (153.2 0esr) on a win 11 PC.

I have some POP email accounts with btinternet which work.

I want to change. them to IMAP accounts using the same email addresses.

Before I do this I have several minor problems within Thunderbird, which I would like to sort out before copying the Thunderbird files as a backup.

Rather than list them all, it's possible that fixing the first may solve others.

When I open Thunderbird I see this message... see FIRSTCalendar if it hasn't been inserted into the text

I have never (knowingly) used BT's calendar. Clicking cancel removes the report and does not stop any of the BT mail accounts working.

I tried using the username and password of the default account but password of the default account without success. At a later stage this appears...

See SECONDcontacts if not inserted here

The address displayed is one that I have deleted from my BT Email account.

It is no longer shown as one of my BT accounts in the email management page in MYBT or in Thunderbird

Again, clicking Cancel does not stop my BT email accounts working.

Any suggestions how to fix this, would be welcome.

Cheers

Dave

We can access our Orange accounts directly (www.orange.fr) and deal with our emails using passwords stored by Password Manager. We can not sign in to Orange through Thunderbird. The passwords saved by Password Manager are not recognised. Orange have introduced a system that produces a 23 character Password which is then entered into the password field in Account Settings: this is supposed to be permanent and unique to the account. When I followed this procedure I got the error message 'Incoming server already exists', for both IMAP and POP3. We are on Windows 10 and Opera; Can you help please?
