I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hi. Recently Thunderbird automatically updated(current version is 115.5.1 32bit) on my win 10 Pro 64bit (v22H2) desktop, and now most of my accounts have a problem. My GMAIL account is the only one that I can both receive and send mail from.

Both Outlook accounts can receive mail, but only one account can send. Both accounts have exactly the same imap & smtp settings. Both have Authentication set to normal password. The account that cannot send mail fails login, the popup window suggests this is a password problem, but no password I have works. (this includes 2 MS generated App passwords).

Most importantly, my main Yahoo account cannot send or receive mail. I will just focus on this one for the time being. The 2 error messages I get are:- 1. "Connection to server export.imap.mail.yahoo.com timed out" (after several minutes) 2. "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to outgoing server(SMTP) smtp.mail.yahoo.com timed out. Try again" (after several minutes).

Here are things I`ve tried.

Disabling the ipv6 setting using config editor as suggested here https://support.mozilla.org/gl/questions/1401034 Changing the timeout mailnews.tcptimeout with config editor as suggested here https://support.mozilla.org/bm/questions/1367042 Logged into my yahoo account through browser using email address and password. Deleted all app passwords for TB. Waited 24 hours. Logged back in to check changes had taken. Generated new app password, and took copy of it. Checked with yahoo that the spaces in the password should be removed. I deleted the Yahoo account from TB, and re-installed it, both with the automatic configuration TB uses, and the manual configuration method. Despite TB asking for a password (I supplied the newly generated Yahoo App password), there is no password for smtp, imap or OAth2 stored in the saved passwords within TB.

I have checked the imap & smtp settings against these https://help.yahoo.com/kb/manually-download-yahoo-emails-sln28681.html, and used OAuth on both incoming & outgoing. I have also tried these settings with Authentication set to normal password. I have tried these settings https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN4075.html with OAuth2, and with normal password.

I have previously temporarily turned off Avast free antivirus, as well as Win 10 firewall. Since there is activity on some of the accounts I`m assuming the problem is not this. I have also previously loaded windows in safe mode with networking, and that did not make a difference.

Outlook on my Android has no problems sending or receiving from any of these accounts. I can find no useful info on the net with regards to problems after updating, but refuse to believe I am the only one experiencing problems.

After 3 days I have run out of patience. I have exhausted information and options. Can somebody offer suggestions? Thanks in advance, Dave.

I have a new installation of Thunderbird Supernova and when I click (compose) 'New Message' the new message window auto minimizes to the Windows 11 Task Bar and can't be maximized i.e. I can't compose a new message.

I can read and respond to incoming emails as normal.

I'm an experienced Thunderbird user - over many years and devices.

For two days I have been blocked by SPAMHAUS in sending emails. Hours spent online with both SPAMHAUS and my ISP have narrowed the problem to Thunderbird. I was using version 115.4.1 but uninstalled it and downloaded 115.5.1 but the problem persists. I may have to dump Thunderbird and find a new mail app.

Hi, I’ve run TB for a long time so before the change to TLS. I’ve used the settings below successfully all this time and don’t seem to have luck with other settings via Earthlink. But am now having problems retrieving emails from pop.earthlink.net

pop.earthlink.net port:110 smtpauth.earthliink.net port 587 Connection Security: None Password: Transmitted insecurely, not saved in password manager These are the same settings in an answered question https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1386214 These settings also work fine on my iPhone an have worked for years in TB.

Windows 7 64-bit The problem started several days after updating from a very old version 45.8.0 to TB v115.4.2 TB would no longer retrieve emails from the POP server. Click Get Messages and see no activity at all, no Error messages, no prompt for password after re-launch. Close / re-launch TB and same result. Uninstall TB and re-install TB and same result.

I finally resolved by uninstalling TB, manually deleting the profile which is not removed during uninstall. Reinstalled and same problem. Repeated again with no existing profile but with a PC re-boot in between. TB re-downloaded all emails, I had to import address books and TB worked for about 2 weeks. I do custom install to turn off remember password maintenance service leaving all others at the defaults and use manual configuration. Then advanced config to move forward since auto-detect doesn't succeed and there is no option in the initial install setup to choose password transmitted insecurely so the connection fails. It must be changed in the account settings afterwards.

Now the same problem/symptoms again. Updated to v115.05.1 from TB help menu and same result. Went through the uninstall/re-boot and that is not succeeding this time.

Another question suggested doing the following: Go to Thunderbird advanced configuration, set mailnews.pop3.loglevel to 'All' in the config editor (Settings / General) CHANGED from Warn to All and open Tools / Developer Tools / Error console. The following message was posted: mailnews.pop3.2: ConnectionRefusedError: a Network error occurred Pop3Client.jsm:369:18

Any thoughts on a solution?

Thunderbird will not open. the error message is: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. The old Thunderbird process must be closed to open a new window." Pressed the "Close Thunderbird" button, but no response. Checked Task Manager and ended the Thunderbird application...still no change. Uninstalled Thunderbird and downloaded .exe file and installed...still the same error message. Rebooted the computer...still not change. Can you please assist with this problem. Thankyou I

Since installing Supernova, I find a huge (multiple minute) delay whenever I open a folder to a new tab or window. There was zero delay on the prior version to open a folder, so it appears to be specific to Supernova. I'm surprised that no one else has mentioned it on the forums yet, so it seems it might just be something about my particular setup. Can anyone help me diagnose what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

Can you please help me make it stop downloading my entire inboxes randomly. I've put up with this for years because my research has failed to find the right answer. It took an hour to download 5000 emails I already had over and over and over make it stop.

Over the past two weeks Thunderbird has been constantly stopping without any notification, just goes to sleep and will not wake up. Have to restart the app to get it working, works for a while, then goes back to sleep. Really, really a pain. I am considering something else if this keeps up, every time I restart it windows takes information about the problem but does nothing to fix it. If you're going to beg for money, maybe you should make it work first?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/messages/sent/79157 I inadvertently changed the background of my Thunderbird to black with white text. I have NO idea what I did or how to get it back. I tried this: Menu app icon (3 lines) > Preferences select 'General' Scroll to 'Language & Appearance' click on 'Colours' Text = white Background = Blue uncheck - do not select 'Use System colours' 'Override the colours....' select 'Never' Click on OK

My Trash folder is filling up with folders that won't go when I "empty" trash. Instead it creates a new copy "folder(2)" when I try to delete the folder. My trash folder is becoming a hige tree of useless folders..... I would dearly like to bring back version 102 instead of the buggy "Supernova" with its ugly interface.....

Hi all.

Why did Mozilla move to an update that doesn't work?

115.5.1 update. Thunderbird not accessing email servers.

Thanks for upsetting a system that worked. Why?

It might look very swish - but it doesn't work and if and when it does I'll need another weeks course to find out how it works interupting my well versed routine.

Thanks.

My junk email folder has over 4 million messages. There are hundreds of the same message from the same time.

I came across this post from a while ago. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1169324#answer-991184

How do I find the Junk and Junk.msi files so I can delete them?

When I try to send an email i get this error message,

sending of message failed. cannot communicate securely with peer no common encryption algorithm. The configuration related to mail.look.ca must be corrected.

I have no idea how to correct this and have already installed the latest version of Thunderbird.

Thanks

Hi there,

My grandmother on this account keeps receiving a enter primary password alert on her Thunderbird / Bigpond account. We've tried everything and when following the prompts to reset (tools > developer tools > etc) it won't come up with the evaluate button or reset button. We've tried the online sources but no success and she can't access her emails on her desktop. Please let me know what we can do !

I have recently set up and started using Thunderbird with all four of my email accounts. However, when composing an email in the "To" field, I find myself having to manually enter the full email addresses of recipients. Is there a way to access my address book from the imported emails to streamline this process?

I use TB daily on my PC .. yesterday all fine. Today W10 booted OK, I started TB and it opens with a page asking me to create an account ..... seems to have no details of my inboxes, accounts or filed mail

Rebooted PC - restarted TB ... same again

I checked on my iPad and all 3 accounts still working so it is limited to TB on my PC

Seems to have lost my profile(s) How do I recover ?

I only get 2 tabs ... blank Inbox and 2nd tab to set up email address (pics attached)

Since two days Thunderbird crashes on startup. I even removed all (incl. Library Files) files from my laptop and reinstalled Thunderbird. Still the same problem.

When I try to add a hyperlink to a picture, then the editor freezes.

I think this happend since an thunderbird update.

Can you tell me, how to fix this problem, or can you recommend me a former stable version?
