I-Thunderbird Community Forum

The option to attach a file to an email is greyed out. The program will not allow me to send email attachments. I can send emails, send anything that I have saved in my inbox but I am unable to do new emails with attachments. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird but it still will not allow me to do attachments.

I get "connection to server pop.mail.yahoo.com timed out" every few minutes. mail is not usually delivered, and some mail that's delivered is from two-three weeks ago that I've already gotten. It seems that I've stopped receiving mail for account "djgerspach@frontier.com" after 10/8/26. Mail that's sent to other accounts seem to be delivered OK, but mail that's sent to this account doesn't show up. I've received at least some mail for account "njinejean@frontier.com" for 10/9 and 10/10. Not sure if I'm getting everything. Mail seems to be received at the yahoo.com website for both email addresses [djgerspach@frontier.com and ninejean@frontier.com]. At least I hope it is! Mail also seems to be received using the yahoo app for Android [phone] and yahoo app for iPad.

Was kann ich tun? Habe Probleme mit mozilla. Bei derAuführung der Programme Thunderbird ( ständig ) und Firefox ( manchmal ) kommt es zu Abstürzen wie Programm keine Rückmeldung, einfrieren so das keine Eingaben mehr möglich sind und ich jedesmal das Programm schließen und neu starten muß.

I keep getting a message that says that the connection has timed out. Not sure why that's happening, but it's annoying. I have researched it some here, and changed a setting that is supposed affect that, and changed it to 2000, but it's still happening. What can I try next? Thanks

Using Thunderbird with Windows 11. Yesterday I could send/receive Emails OK. Today I cannot use either. Didn't change anything. When I try to send message, a box with this message appears: "Login to server smtp.gmail.com with username [redacted] @gmail.com failed". I am logged in to my Google account. A few months ago, the same thing happened. Gave up for the night and the next morning everything worked OK. Is Thunderbird occasionally out of service? I tried Microsoft Outlook and it works OK so I know internet is OK

Also, I notice receiving messages takes a long time sometimes. I get messages sometimes a full day later. Outlook is almost instantaneous. If I send a message to me, it is received within seconds. Any suggestions? Regards, Art Towslee [redacted] @gmail.com [redacted] (cell)

I have down loaded the latest version of Thunder Bird. The program still has my settings to access my e-mail. For some reason every time I try and read my e-mail the program locks up and I have to do a Task Manager to stop the program Any and all comments would be appreciated. Thanks Dave

Hello, I am having an issue that Emails which are displayed in the reading area disapper for appr. 2 minutes. Afterwards they appear again. I have not been able to find out if this is a problem in Thunderbird, or if another application is causing this. I have read an article that Avast Antivirus is temporarily locking folders during scan. Maybe someone has had the same topic and can give me a hint where to search for the root cause. Thank you.

Hi there I have been using Thunderbird for many years to manage the same many mail accounts on diverse PCs. I prefer using a portable version from portableapps.com, partly because when it comes to transferring to another gadget, it suffices just moving the portable folder, and I do not have to create dozens of accounts in a fresh install. Of late, I have been getting frequent irritating error messages for 2 Yahoo accounts. It connects to them & I can receive mail, but for automatic connections to the server in between, I keep getting error messages like: The current operation on 'inbox' did not succeed.' The mail account to abc@yahoo.com responded: p.', ... etc The other day, after reading about possible solutions from some forums, I decided to just delete both accounts and used the recommended Thunderbird connection settings for Yahoo to create the 2 accounts anew. I thought the problem was solved, only to have the same alerts every now & then reappearing, which amounts to a lot, if you have Thunderbird on many hours a day. I consistently update Thunderbird, the moment I'm alerted to a new version. I also have Gmail, Outlook, AOL(AIM) & other accounts, but not get similar issues. How do I permanently solve this problem? Thank you in advance.

I can't attach a file to an email before sending it

I have used Thunderbird for so many years and no problems until now

I have 3 gmail e-mail address's but can't attach a file to any of them. When I click on attach absolutely nothing happens at all.

Thunderbird will not let me move messages to the trash folder. If I do move a message to the trash bin the message will re-appear in the in-box. I have tried to follow the steps in the Mozilla support website but that did not work. When I try to delete a message I get the following:

The current operation on "inbox" did not succeed. The mail server for account rex@rexperry.com responded: [TRYCREATE] Mailbox doesn't exist: INBOX/ Trash (0.001+0.000 secs).

I am using an HP desktop machine running W11. This problem did not happen until I switched to the W11 machine.

Any suggestions? Thanks, Rex Perry rex@rexperry.com

I like the new support for Outlook. Thank you very much. This was the first year that I did not spend >16 hours rebuilding accounts each January. It is also nice that this support automatically transfered incoming emails to the Local Inbox.

Just recently, Spectrum Internet dropped POP3 support and I was able to setup IMAP.

Gee, It would be nice if there was just one more checkbox in the Account Setup which would automatically transfer IMAP messages to the Local Inbox.

Can this be added to the wish list?

Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) mail.twc.com timed out. Try again.

Musste einen Beitrag für Zeitschrift verfassen, lässt sich nicht an Mail anhängen. Sowohl "Anhängen" wie auch "anbei" reagiert nicht. Wie kann ich meinen Abgabe-Termin dennocheinhalten??? Mail funktioniert, aber Anhang fehlt natürlich

I moved some emails to a folder and they are not there. Tried to move last email to folder and it jumps back to my inbox. Also how do I access help in thunderbird?

I've read that I can create several Thunderbird profiles and load my desired Profile to startup and use the Profile Manager to switch profiles. I'm guessing that I can only load one profile into Thunderbird at a time (?).

And if I wanted to check emails from another profile I'd have to close or switch or somehow unload the current profile(?).

It would seem to me if it were possible to load more than one profile at a time, then if two profiles had the exact same mailbox account, it would cause problems(?).

Appreciate any input from those with experience in this.

Please help! Suddenly I can't attach anything to my emails on Thunderbird. Click on Attach, and try all the other methods to attach something, and absolutely nothing happens! Have been using Thinderbird for decades and this is a first. Have gone into Settings, Composition, Attachments and the option Check for Missing Attachments is ticked. Is there another Setting somewhere that could be stopping me from attaching anything? Thank you for your time
