Thunderbird Community Forum

Since 1 October (yesterday) my Thunderbird suddenly can't connect to the Hotmail server anymore to get my wilderconsulting@outlook.com emails. It keeps asking for my password. I can find them on Microsoft MAIL, but Thunderbird normally allows me to have quick and organized access to all my 5 email accounts. Please help. Jan GrootWassink Cobble Hill, BC, Canada C.

I have Windows 10. I am using Bitdefender. Thunderbird 128.2.3 est (64 bit).

When I attach a file to an email, Thunderbird crashes. This happens eventhough the file is well below the maximum allowed.

Up to approx. two weeks ago when it happened I could just restart and it would work. Since last week it does not work at all. It will not accept any attachment.

I have long had Thunderbird configured the way I like it on Windows 10 - a folder browser on the left, a listbox with one text line per email along the top, and the majority of the window showing the currently-selected window. Each entry in the listbox has multiple columns, with subject, sender, date, etc.

The individual items within the listbox on Windows 11 are very wide - the same-size pane that showed ten emails now shows only three. (the folder browser pane is also now only as tall as the email pane instead of being the whole left side.) And it's not arranged in columns; the subject and sender stack atop one another and htere's a blank line beneath them; no column headings or column-click-to-sort. It's now intolerable to browse.

Yes, I have a cluttered inbox and many cluttered folders. But I would like to see a dozen emails at a time, not three or four, and have column headings I can use to sort email easily. Is there any way to force the email list to be a traditional compact listbox on Windows 11, or is this simply a Win11 system interface choice we can't do anything about?

as support told me to do, - here again this issue i have a email address connected to Thunderbird with outlook server and ( microsoft 365 outlook server) and msn mail address ( set as standard) but i also have a mail address connected for a own site online i made serif webplus software it was always working perfect,, till beginning september 2024 then i went VERY slow to get mail in mailbox i needed to ask to reseave 3-4 times and it took 5 to 10 minutes,, and after 19 september NOTHING came in again what ever i tryed - so i deleted all and install all again, i made all settings and firewall too - restarted but again nothing worked,, only sending worked with error that they send but not made a copy into the sendbox how can we fix the reseaving mail? i tryed many times to contact microsoft / outlook and mozilla/firefox but never got good easy understandable answers only links to some pages or forums i am no computer expert so some i do not understand or know where to find things, but i got 1 who answerd me and told me all should be the problem of the server company,, how and when can THEY fix the problem? or give me a refund for not able to use there services? answers please to konijn60@msn.com

Since yesterday I have Thunderbird nebula 128.2.3esr on my Windows 10. But I cannot find my calendar and the new left sidebar isn't available, but only a little button on the left upper corner with seven button without function. I've tried a lot, I cannot find any description about a same failure in the Internet.

Hello,

for more than 10 years I was using The Bat email client, but this got bloated up so much with a lost of errors and bugs so that I want to switch to a new email client.

I read that Thunderbird is the best alternative to it. I have a lot email accounts and emails, but I cannot figure out how to import or convert from The Bat to Thunderbird.

Anyone who can help?

Thanks

I've been using Thunderbird for several years now without any issues, and I currently have the latest version installed. I typically have multiple email accounts logged in. Recently, I tried adding a Gmail account, but it wouldn’t log in, showing the error: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password."

I’ve tried the usual fixes like closing and reopening Thunderbird, clearing cache files, and even searching online for solutions. Based on what I found, I’ve tried turning off VPN/antivirus, changing the default browser, clearing browser data, and, finally, uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird after removing all my email accounts.

Now, I’m unable to log in to any of my accounts, which were working fine before. Can anyone guide me on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

I constantly have emails that are blank with wrong information. I have to do the properties/repair folder things constantly to be able to view my emails. Apparently there is a problem in the mapping on the server that can be fixed.

128.2.3 version updated automatically. Now my usual password won't work to get in email. I changed the password on the server...but can't find where to change/update the password within Thunderbird. Please help.

‘an attachment from an email remains ever though I have deleted the email. The attachment now appears in other emails and there is nothing in the body of the email. I have uninstalled and reinstalled’

bold text PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE LET ME ROLL BACK TO THE PREVIOUS VERSION I HAD!!!!

IT WORKED SO MUCH BETTER AND THIS IS NOT EVEN READABLE TO ME!

NO ONE EVER REPLIES OR ACTS ARROGANT THAT i COULD POSSIBLY THINK THAT, BUT IT IS SO VERY TRUE! YOU CAN'T EVEN GET THE FONT SIZE RIGHT IN SETTINGS! IT IS STUCK ON 5 AND EVERYONE IS OUT DOING SOMETHING ELSE BESIDES HELPING THE MESS IT IS!

IT IS AS THE POINT THAT IT SO SHOWS YOUR INDIFFERENCE THAT IT MAKES US REALLY MAD AT YOU.

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT SERIOUSLY MATTERS TO US, NOT JUST EMOTIONALLY LIKE THESE PLAY BABIES WITH EXTRA TIME, BUT PEOPLE WHO NEED TO DO BUSINESS AND HAVE OTHERS LEANING ON THEM!

Microsoft outlook warned that I will no longer be able to use thunderbird after Sept 16th unless I use Oauth. I've tried changing settings to allow Oauth, but it's not listed as an option fot outgoing mail. Is this because I'm running windows 7? Is there any way around this, I want to keep win 7?

Thanks...

Recently logging on to my email is very frustrating. Message comes up "Thunderbird not responding"

It can take up to 20 minutes to open and read my emails. Can you explain why this has become a problem. My son uses this programme and he is having the same problems trying to open and read his emails. I have just renewed my annual subscription, and I would be grateful if you could help with this problem. Many thanks. Jean.

When deleting an email, the following message appears: "The Inbox folder mausisatze@t-online.de could not be compressed because writing to the folder failed. Make sure you have enough space and write permissions on the file system. After that, all emails disappeared and I had to log in to Thunderbird again. What can I do ? Norbert Panser

FONT SIZE IS STUCK ON 5, AND NOW I DON'T SEE TIME STAMPS TO FIND CODE MAIL YOU ASK FOR. THIS DOES NOT LET ME COPY AND PASTE WHAT i AM SEEING TO SHOW YOU.

THIS IS STUCK ON SIZE FIVE AND IS UNREADABLE FOR ME!
