I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail: Outgoing server (SMTP) error. The server responded: * OK Gimap ready for requests from 97.73.80.245 n4mb24034316oct.

Troubleshooting/repair recommendations appreciated.

Thanks, Ray

I am using a university email system hosted by google, servers are imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com using university credentials, which involve 2-factor authentication using Duo. It has worked fine for several years, but last night we had a power failure that outlasted my UPS. When I started up Thunderbird this morning, I could not access the account, every attempt threw up a dialog from the University saying "Web Login Service - Stale Request". Clearing cookies and cache was not helpful. I deleted the account, shut down Thunderbird, restarted Thunderbird, and re-created the account. Now I can receive mail, but I still get the same error when I try to send mail. The account works through the gmail browser app, but I find that app to be worse than useless. I have no idea what to try next. Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Since I've installed TB I keep getting the error message that it can't save the message as a draft. I configured to use the IMAP "Drafts" folders I have already, but I kept getting the error. When I created a local folder and changed the settings to that one the error didn't go away.

What's wrong?

Since the last update, Thunderbird has had major problems. It seemed to lose all my folders and accounts, eventually it found them (but completely lost several folders), and all the filters seemm to be screwed up. Now, it has taken to crashing within seconds of starting the program. Any ideas? This has only been since the recent update to 102.0b4 (32 bit). Most recent crash reports in attached image - I can't keep the program running long enough to do anything else.

Any help appreciated.

When selecting messages, Thunderbird sometimes opens them instead of selecting them about a third to half the time. It's particularly troublesome when I want to completely delete a message instead of moving it to the Trash folder, because the double-click causes Thunderbird to delete that message plus the one beneath it.

I at first blamed my mouse, but a mouse click-detecting test fails to detect any double-clicks. And I don't see this behavior in any other apps.

Has anyone else encountered anything like this? Is there a fix?

I have a new M1 Ultra based Mac Studio. Using the latest Thunderbird 91.10.0. When I click on a email the mail is supposed to open in the bottom pane. Now, unless I restart T-bird several times the email text or other content does NOT open. Also when I select a different email, the content pane does not update. This is a real problem.

Does anyone else have this. Is Mozilla aware of this issue. I have completely reinstalled the app and reset all the server info, but the problem persists. This never occurred on my older MacPro with the Intel Chip even though on the same OS release: Mac OS Monterey 12.4

Hi,

I recently migrated my mails (own domain) to another provider.

IMAP & SMTP urls were changed accordingly for the relevant accounts within Thunderbird. After restarting, it asked me twice for the new server's password: 1x each for send/receive – both work properly, as do the rest of folders apparently.

But: If I open Properties in the IMAP folders' right click menu, the dialog still lists the old server's URL in their location (and that field is not editable).

Weirder yet: Despite Thunderbird having asked for the passwords while showing the "new" server's URL (& me storing them in the password manager), it still reports the "old" server's URLs as provider in the "Saved passwords…" dialog. This is repeats if I delete these passwords and have it ask again.

Is this a known issue?

Thunderbird 91.10.0

I have been having an issue with TB not highlighting (aka changing folder name font to bold and showing number of unread messages inside beside it) some folders which have received new messages. The folders appear as if nothing has been received. The new messages are in fact inside after I open the folders but they are already marked as read despite me never actually reading them or even opening the folder. Restarting TB or PC or downloading mails does not fix it. It is possible to be completely unaware of a new mail until I manually check every folder for those "ghost messages".

To be clear I do have all the 3 options of checking for new mails turned on on every adress added in TB.

Hi. I am getting the dreaded server connection timeout on thunderbird. The interesting part is, that it happens only when connected to one specific wifi network. And not all the time - 3 days its ok, than for 1 day, i am getting the error all the time, then it suddently works for some time... I tried all kinds of countermeasures (prolonging the timeout time, disabling antivirus, changing the proxy stettings...). Nothing works. I really have no idea where to continue my investigation... Obviously, the problem has something to do with my wifi configuration, just cant figure out what. Thanks for any suggestions.

I had the error console open to log some SMTP traffic, and I saw numerous error messages similar to the one in the Subject line. In that directory on my Win 10 Professional 21H2 C-drive I have around 80 files with similar names from 06/13 until 06/20 (today) What are these files not removeable? I installed 64-bit 91.10.0 on 06/13. Thanks.

Hello, I can't configure any new email on my thunderbird.

I have tried yandex.com (of which I already have a working one configured), protonmail.com, mail.com, with any provider find the configuration but then error: unable to authenticate on server. The configuration, username or password might be wrong.

My version of thunderbird is 91.9.1 (64 bit) on linux mint.

Can you help me understand why I can't configure any new email?

Thunderbird shows the correct profile when I look at the folder through the troubleshooting mode. I need to recover my profile and my emails. This is the second time this has happened; the first time I just created new profiles and accessed old emails when I needed them. Since this is a reoccurring problem, I need a better solution.

For about the last week Thunderbird beta 102.0b5 (32-bit) refuses to connect to my gmail email account. I've checked the sign in details, which haven't changed in years and I can still sign in to gmail via a browser using the very same login details and yet thunderbird refuses to login.

Constantly comes up with mail server responded email / password not accepted despite the very same details working perfectly via any browser.

Thunderbird has just crashed 15 times in a row. I keep getting the attached crash reporter, which just pops up again if I choose restart. I have tried to start it in safe mode, same thing happens. I have tried deleting the parent.lock file

I'm desperate not to lose my mail history or folders or filters.

Please help.

When I start Thunderbird I get this message Sending of password for user Jim R Feliciano did not succeed. Mail server inbound.att.net responded: Server error - Please try again later. I have double checked the server settings. I have it on port 995. I am able to get my email when I log in through Yahoo on my browser. I also have a program called BlueMail with the same settings that works correctly. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird a couple of time with no change. I have tried the connection security settings None StartTls and SSL/TLS and no change. I keep the authentication method set to Normal Password. Please help.

I cannot forward emails. I get the following error message: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Error sending message for delivery.. Please check the message and try again." This started just recently the past month.

I've had numerous problems since this update. Right now as of this message Emails won't download, I lost the ability to send emails, and the included troubleshooter doesn't help!

Can I delete this update? Sean Clark

I use Thunderbird to download Yahoo and Gmail onto my desktop (Windows 10). It suddenly stopped downloading and sending Gmail messages. I can read and send gmail from my IPad. Error message says "Sending of password for user hmr1943@gmail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: Username and password not accepted."

I don't know if these first details are important, but I was setting up a filter to block a sender. The Trash file was in the background. After setting it up, I clicked run now. It ran and every email in my trash file was gone. I am trying to recover these files. I'm on a desktop Win10. I removed the filter and it didn't help. I went off-line, right-clicked on the trash file and clicked on properties and then clicked on repair file. It ran for a while and then two old emails appeared in the trash file of the 38000+ that were in there. Tried it again, nothing. I have NOT run compress files. Is there anyway that anyone knows that I can recover these emails? Thanks.
