I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hey,

I have downloaded the latest version of TB, and installed it on my PC, but not being able to configure it with my Gmail id. I have tried using automatic setup and manual, but every time it shows "Unable to login at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password."

I am giving the correct username and password. I have tried different setups for configuration and even tried configuring offline; however, nothing seems to work.

I have added TB in my Firewall settings, so the issue is not coming from there as well.

Could anyone please help? This is my first time using TB, and I will greatly appreciate any help from the community.

I've never seen this before, and I'm a long-time user.

This appears, periodically, when attempting to delete a message. It is factually laughable, as I have many terabytes of available space on this system. There is no shortage of it, anywhere.

Anyone? (image)

Thanks

After updating my 2017 iMac from OS Catalina to Ventura (13.2), TB 102.8.0 is taking more than 30 seconds to open. Once open it seems fine, so far, but that startup time is way longer than it used to be. I used Troubleshoot mode to 1) send myself a troubleshoot report via email and 2) clear the starting cache, but that didn't fix the long start-up time. My email accounts are with my website's hosting company, but I doubt the problem would be with my hosting. Please advise on what can be done in TB to address this, thanks.

I want to leave my emails on the big server, but IMAP syncs them, so my profile is so big it stalls TB or crashed it. What can I do besides abandon my loved TB (of 20 years?).

When scrolling down the list in my address book to find an entry further down details of the first entry which I am not searching for are always displayed covering half of the screen. Can this move be removed ?

I have used Thunderbird for many, many years. Never had a problem until lately when I moved to a new computer. I now have a problem with "address book". Problem could be either import or export or in the use of address book. The problem may have started when I moved the address book from my old computer (Win 10 pro 64 bit, Thunderbird 102.6.1) to a new computer (Win 11-Pro, Thunderbird 102.7.0, 64-bit) Old computer is OK, new computer has error.

Error: Start to display "inbox" then click -> Tools-> address book. Address book displays, BUT display in on half line spacing, not the normal full line spacing - if correct data displays correctly. In half line spacing, lines overlay each other. Also I can not modify a contact and I can not add a new contact.

I have only one profile, no extras on Thunderbird. When I click on a contact that display incorrectly I get a grey box (almost the whole display) and I can not type into that box. Can not close that box, can not go back, can only close tab.

Tried on web to backup address book. In command prompt (the old DOS) with current directory set to: "C:\" typed "dir *.mab /s". Result: "file not found". I can not find any "mab" file anywhere on C:. (Windows is installed on C:. One problem you probably know, when Thunderbird is updated, help files on Web are not updated. (Example web states to go to "run", can not find "run" on Thunderbird menu). Went through many sites on web, can not find file containing address book and can it not back it up, can not fix it, can not where it is. Looked at profile at What went wrong? I am out of luck.

My background: Worked on PC since Windows 3, I am comfortable on PC/Win, repair PCs, etc.

Sorry to bring you this, can not figure this on out. Gerry

We work with Thunderbird on local PC's but for roaming support we have the Thunderbird profiles on a network drive. Lately we noticed that on occasion the network drive is slow or disconnects for a second at which point Thunderbird looses it's lock or the connection to the profile. This results in then giving a popup to reenter the credentials for the mailbox. Is there some setting in Thunderbird where we can tell it to try again for a few times before giving the error?

I found the option 'network.protocol-handler.external.disks' but I cannot find any description on what this setting actually does, is this setting relevant to this issue?

I would appreciate any help you can give us.

I have a program for scheduling and emailing jobs, I was emailing directly from this program through Thunderbird but as of today this is no longer happening. I was getting a message asking if this is what I wanted but this also no longer appears. I now get the following:

Microsoft office Outlook

Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft outlook and set as the default mail client

This could be Windows but I don't believe it has updated. Thanks Glen

I had a crash on my desktop PC, possibly due to an erroneous action of mine, which occurred on December 20th, which has ended with my PC, which after entering the password, the screen locks to black.

I turned to my laptop as a salvation, but when I tried to open my email, for which I use Mozilla Thunderbird, at first I opened the home page, but my email accounts did not appear. Currently, it doesn't even open that page when you tap on that desktop icon.

I'm an 80-year-old male and I'm getting more and more clumsy with the SW of the PC, so I pray that if you can help me it's in a language for the very clumsy in computer matters. I don't speak English so this is automatically translated, so I would appreciate it if you could help me in Spanish to restore my email accounts, since I am no longer used to using Web mail.

My PC is an HP Pavilion x360 -14-cd0018ns, I5 core 8th Gen. / W10 home/ HD ext. 3TB for data.

Thanks a lot. PLOK.

Witam Potrzebuję całkowicie usunąć program Thunderbird wraz z wszystkimi jego składnikami . Będę instalował go ponownie i potrzebne mi jest całkowite wyczyszczenie wszystkich danych w programie. Deinstalacja usuwa tylko program ale po ponownej instalacji wszystko wraca do poprzednich ustawień. Proszę o pomoc. Dziękuję

Hi Thunderbird; I am a financial contributor to your great e-mail program. One irksome issue I would like to see resolved to have a pop up asking"are you sure you want to do this" when moving e-mail subfolders two and more tiers down from one subfolder to another. I have over 100 e-mail subfolders in our company e-mail program and many more beneath those. Many times I will drag and drop e-mails directly from my inbox screen into subfolders in the left pane.(rather than using the "move" command) Occasionally I do not keep pressure on my left mouse button to do this. (I know , my fault). Instead of moving the specific e-mail(s), I now inadvertantly pick up a subfolder and drop it in a different folder, not realizing I have done this. When I finally realize the errant folder is not where it supposed to be( sometimes a day or two later), I spend a fair amount of time tracking it down and moving it back to it's original position.

Having a pop up message asking me if I really want to do this would be helpful and I'm sure would be appreciated by others who have 'lost' folders in a similar fashion.

Would be great to see in your upcoming supernova version 115 Thanks for considering this

When I pull up my Thunderbird to check the email I get a pop up telling me my Thunderbird cannot be updated and I should download the new version. If i do that will I loose all the emails on my current version?? and Why don't you have a customer service telephone line for tech questions?
