Forum zgromaźeństwa Thunderbird

Am having a problem with my quota reaching max in Optus webmail and in the process of attempting to sort this under directio from Optus I am now not able to receive of send email on this device. A second device that I have set up is thankfully working. If I uninstall and reinstall will I lose my contacts list?

Hi We changed our email provider recently, and I was told to set up the new email, log in and see that it's working then we can move the old emails across (same email address just different provider) to new email so all are in same inbox. Now it appears to be hard, and I'm wondering if anyone in here knows how to do that? We ran on imap settings in both. Thanks!

Hello, I'm on the point of reinstalling MS Windows on my laptop and as part of the process I backed up Thunderbird to a USB stick using your instructions "Moving Thunderbird Data to a new computer".

I have four email addresses, one I've used for probably 15+ years, another for 8 years, and two more recent additions. In copying the data to the USB stick, there are two Trash transfers taking significant time, one for 70%, the other for 6%.

I've looked for the Trash folders on my laptop but can't locate them. I have empty Deleted folders (I'm in the UK so perhaps that's just a terminology difference). Obviously I don't want to have these Trash folders transferred into a fresh copy of Thunderbird after the Windows reinstall.

So my question is how do I delete these Trash folders before I copy the Thunderbird data to the USB stick, and how do I prevent them reoccurring?

Grateful for any help with my problem.

Hello. Each time I fire up Thunderbird, I get a series of panes (pains?) from Microsoft, asking for my passwords for my Outlook accounts. Sometimes, it asks for all of them. Sometimes, it asks for a few. It seems rather random. When I enter each one, I get a message on the screen saying "Authentication failure". However, if I persist and enter all the passwords, Thunderbird works. I had this problem a couple of months ago. I think it's related to something that MS did. A chap called Matt helped. But, unfortunately, it's returned. Could anyone, please, advise me? Thank you, Barry.

Hallo, ich habe einen neuen PC mit neu Win 11. Da habe ich Thunderbird neu installiert. Alle meine Mails sind bei Web.de gespeichert. Durch die neue Installation sind alle persönlich angelegten Ordner unter dem Ordner: "Lokale Ordner" verschwunden. Wo kann ich diese wiederfinden? Liebe Grüße Hans

I stopped getting e-mails. I can't send e-mails. It tells me to enter a password but rejects even my e-mail address. It stopped working on my computer 9/8/24 and on my phone 9/9/24. It won't let me reset my password because it doesn't recognize my e-mail address so it can send me a code.

Need Help......I am cleaning up a laptop hard drive to free up space and make sure all is up to date, and I have the new version of Thunderbird installed but I cannot uninstall the old version. I keep getting an error message. See attached image.

Thank you in advance! Jean

Ever since I upgraded to 115.10.1 (from a much earlier version, which worked well), Thunderbird is randomly very slow.

First off, at opening time, it takes ages (over a minute) to download some incoming (small) messages - while this was definitely not the case with the previous version I was running. Sometimes, it hangs (for anywhere from 15 to 60 seconds) while I am typing a message.

Also, e.g. today, I tried to send an email (250 KB or so): it just kept on saying "sending". When I clicked (after a few minutes) to stop the sending, the window closed without further ado and I couldn't find the message anywhere (not in the Drafts, not in the Sent). I did it again, it then hung on copying the message to the "sent" folder. When it finally said it failed, and asked if I wanted to have it copied to a local folder, I clicked "yes". Upon checking, it had stored it in the "sent" messages, not locally...

I am running Windows 10 Pro, with ample memory and disk space, and a fiber optics connection. The CPU is not overloaded at all nor any other ressource.

It is becoming increasingly annoying.

This is a problem I have from time to time. I am currently using TB 128.2, but have had it in prior versions from before 115. I had the problem in win10, though now I am using win11pro current version.

I search an item based on a text stream, in this case: "tree planting works in the fall," and the results are found, but I can't open it. I then click show results as a list and it says no messages found. This is a message I archived. If I go to my saved local archive I can find and open the message. So the search was useful in that I was led to the message, but what's up with search? Is there an operation like compaction that I need to run to get search reoriented?

I have attached screen shots of the original find and the show results as a list.

Greetngs to all,

                         I'm using Thunderbird Version 128.2.0esr with Windows 11.

I have clicked on View/Folder/Unified Folders but none og my IMAP accounts are listed.

Can anyone please advuise how to resolve this issue?

Thanks,

             Scott

Hello,

Every time I end my work and close thunderbird - my e mail accounts dissapear (they are deleted). When I open thunderbird again I have no email, nothing. Everytime I am forced to do all settings from scratch - to configure everything from the begging. Please help.

Hello,

       About 5 months ago I had this same issue and paid a person $90.00 to fix this issue

and erything was working gin until just recently, I have this issue all over again! I cannot afford to keep paying people to fix this all the time is this issue keeps popping up! Now I cannot received or send any outgoing mail!! THE MESSAGE SAYS:

SEND MESSAGE ERROR, SENDING OF THE MESSAGE FAILED THE MESSAGE COULD NOT BE SENT BECAUSE THE CONNECTING TO THE OUTGOING SERVER (SMPT) stmp.mail.yahoo.com failed. THE SERVER MAY BE UNAVAILABLE OR IS REFUSING SMPT CONNECTING. PLEASE VERIFY THAT YOUR OUTGOING SERVER (SMPT) SETTINGSD ARE CORRECT AND TRY AGAIN

I'M LOST, I'M NOT THAT TECHMICAL AND NEED HELP!

Greetings. Long-time Thunderbird user on PC and before now trying to load onto 2024 Macbook pro. Configuration identical to that on PC and have checked with person running with same configuration on mac. When tried to initially configure Thunderbird reported could not find email settings though email and password were correct, so configured manually.

Now trying to send mail get "login to account "smtp.gmail.com" failed. No way to bypass and do not know how to fix. Outgoing sever is SMTP and is configured correctly using OAUTH2.

Tried running in troubleshoot mode but no difference. Also not receiving any email.

thanks much for any tips jp
