Thunderbird-mienskipsfoarum

Hello I have a problem where I get an error message "Unable to use profile when you launch an older version of Thunde...."

I noticed that I had 2 versions of the program installed, 115.16.0 and 128.3.3. Thunderbird must have been running okay up to v115.16.0 as I had to do manual installs from then to now. Initially there seemingly was no indication of any problem. I'm not sure how many manual installs I did as it was only 15th Oct that this issue started. I was on holidays for 6 weeks Thunderbird was unused between about 28th Aug to 15th October. So, my Thunderbird was running at 115.16.0. I tried to uninstall 115.15.0 but it said I had another version that needed to have the uninstall completed by rebooting the PC. I did that but 115.16.0 still remained. I uninstalled 128.3.3 successfully. 115.16 still wouldn't uninstall, so I used a program to cleanup all of this version. I reinstalled 128.3.3 and still get the same problem I started with. "Unable to use profile when you launch an older version of Thunde...."

How can I get Thunderbird running? Regards Alllan

I recently changed my password to a passphrase. Thunderbird 115.16 ER Linux could not/would not handle it. By changing to a password based on the passphrase, Thunderbird sometimes works fine.

I had to change my Microsoft password and I believe it didn't change for my TB email account. I no longer know the old password (I use Keeper to make pw changes). I get a pop3 account password error and no longer can get email in TB. I am currently unhappily using Outlook. I made changes on my pc to meet the new requirements mandated by Microsoft: incoming server - pop3.live.com:995; SSL/TLS; 0Auth2 and outgoing server - smtp.office365.com:587; STARTTLS; 0Auth2. Appreciate some help. Thanks

after latest update nov 12 128.4.3esr 32 bit my wife can not access our same email server mail.patokalakemarina.com. Gets security alert of invalid certificate. When I try to add an exception says is good and don't need an exception.

My 64 bit machine took the upgrade ok, no alert, and her android phone still accesses. Every box is checked the same as my 64bit. How to roll back an update?

Whenever I click away from the write window while writing a reply, the window gets closed, not minimized, and the email is sometimes saved as a draft. I'm not sure how to fix this, I'm using Thunderbird 128.4.3esr for Arch Linux.

Thunderbird gobbles up too much of my SSD space!

How can I prevent this from happening?

I'm using Thunderbird 128.2.3esr (64-bit) Safari browser Version 18.0 (19619.1.26.111.10, 19619) Macbook Air M2 15" running OS 14.7

I have a problem with receiving POP3 and sending SMTP emails, but it only concerns the Onet (onet.pl and onet.eu) server. All POP3 and SMTP settings are correct, verified. The problem appeared a few days ago, probably after an update. The problem with receiving is when I receive emails in bulk from all accounts by clicking the Download button (Download new messages for all accounts). They are downloaded from all servers, except Onet. This problem does not occur if I download messages from Onet by clicking in the menu File/Download messages from/account name. The problem with sending messages appears when after writing an email I click the Send button (Send this message). There is no problem if I click the File menu/Send later, and then in the Outgoing folder I click Send pending messages. Can anyone help me to solve this problem?

I am sending emails but they dont appear in the Sent folder. I have changed no settings. They used to go to the Sent folder but have stopped. All my settings are correct but the Sent folder is not being populated. Whats wrong?

Hello, Since the Oauth2 security from Microsoft, I can't send messages anymore from thunderbird with an outlook adress (but I can receive messages after following instructions) I followed rigourously the instructions from Microsoft and Thunderbird on this two pages : https://support.microsoft.com/fr-fr/office/param%C3%A8tres-pop-imap-et-smtp-pour-outlook-com-d088b986-291d-42b8-9564-9c414e2aa040 https://support.mozilla.org/fr/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentification-thunderbird (These are pages in french because I'm French hence my poor english (sorry for that)) And tried every solution (for instance, the smtp server advised is not the same for Microsoft and Thunderbird, of course I tried both many times)

Thanks for your answers Michel

I have three e-mail accounts. By some mysteripous reason TB sets the first one as default. Trying to change is no avail. Even though I select the correct standard account in settings TB refuses to make the change. Would appreciate some advice. /Leif Arvidsson

I have Thunderbird 128.4.2 (32 bit) on Windows 10 Home (64 bit). I want to add a second email account. To do this, I used File> New> Email Account. I entered the email address and password. TB found and entered a server configuration. The new email address appears in the Folder List but has only an Inbox folder after it. The other folders (Sent, Junk, Trash) are missing. Test messages show the new address in TB will send a message correctly except it hangs trying to save the sent message. The new address is unable to receive a message. Please advise how to get the new email account (outlook.com) set up in Thunderbird. Thank you.

Yesterday I was unable to receive or send e:mails. Thought they fixed it, waited until morning to check in.

My e:mail ([edited] @gmail.com) was just fine on my lap top, but when I looked on my desktop, it was just the same. Can't send or receive e:mails there.

What's the problem now?

Thunderbird is not downloading messages from any of the accounts and it does not save sent messages When clicking on get messagers from any of the accounts at the bottom where i usualy see the activity, all i see is "connected to the account" but no activity. When writing and sending a message, it sends but it does not save the message in the send folder When trying to save a message in "Draft" folder it does not. I get no error messages either.

I closed and re-open aplication - it made no difference I rebooted the computer - it made mo difference

Please help

Running version 128.4.3esr (64-bit) on Windows 11 Home

I just re-installed the latest version of Thunderbird for email handling. (Ver 128.4.3) It is used by myself and my wife on our desk top. When she logs into her account and tries Thunderbird, it works just fine. When I'm logged into my account and open up Thunderbird Email, it asks for my password. Here's where things get cloudy. I enter current password but the program does not recognize it. I have gone out to Microsoft hotmail and changed it... and Thunderbird might work for a day, two days or only hours, than when I go to check my email again, it does not recognize my password. I check my email on my phone, and a Google tablet, so every-time I change the password on my desktop computer, I have to go out to these other devices and change them also, sometimes for just hours. For years Thunderbird worked fine on my computer, and on my "side" of the login, but in the last couple of months it has started this "password" problem. Could I have something on my computer in my settings that is causing this, and not causing this when my wife uses Thunderbird under her account. I love the program, but am now looking at other programs to handle my email unless I can get this fixed. I could use "Windows Explorer" if suggested to delete a file off my computer to "Fix" this. Just let me know what can be causing this please. Thanks in advance. John Drake j-w-drake@hotmail.com

Wife had to get a new PC. Thunderbolt won't connect to the server. All the connect info is same as mine, confirmed. The provider confirmed her accouont works by sending message to their webmail. She got it ok on their webmail, but nothing on her PC

While there are over 90 emails on the Comcast server so far this morning, only 1 has been downloaded. I tried repairing the folders but no change. While I can save chunks of email on the server, my import of a zip file of them is not working. This has continued to be a problem for over 48 hours. I am using Thunderbird 128.4.3 under Windows 11 Pro 23H2.

I can see notifications of emails downloading from the server but nothing is posted on my machine. This process repeats each time I start up Thunderbird but no new emails are accessible, either from Comcast or Gmail. Emails are coming in fine on my iPhone but not on to my ThinkPad where I download and store them off the Comcast server.

Two days ago there were thousands of past emails on the server going back to earlier this year but they are all gone now. I have found it impossible to access Comcast's technical support for their help in solving this problem.

11/17/24 It took 3 days but rebuilding of the global-messages database has finished at 6.7 Gbytes. Unfortunately, no change and the Comcast server is filling up.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for your consideration

I edited All Contacts in Thunderbird and Outlook address books, but I still see obsolete autocomplete email addresses when composing email in TB 128.4.3esr running on Windows 11 laptop. What is the solution to find and remove where all autocomplete info resides?
