Thanks for listening: Last week, Thunderbird began returning this message with each attempt to send mail: An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <tedcomo@chartertn.net> sender rejected. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again. I have no problem receiving mail. At the same time, my wife began having the same problem on her laptop, which tells me either Charter, or Mozilla, changed something. I started with Charter. They told me to rename both servers to mobile.charter.net (outgoing mail was formerly smpt.charter.net. No effect. They then had me log into Spectrum and send a test mail directly from my account. It went through OK and they said the problem had to be on Mozilla's end. Any suggestions?

The global search in TB is completely defective. I am now running 128.2.0esr and hoped that update might fix it. It hasn't. I just wonder, are there any older or non ESR versions I can downgrade/move to, where the search is fully functional?

In Thunderbird calendar, on 27th Oct 2024, entries added are displayed one hour ahead of where they should be. If the entry is edited, the times are correct, and they show correctly in another calendar app (Calendar on my iPhone). The issue does not occur for events on the day before or the day after, and is the same for a newly added event as for an existing one.

See screen shots. You can see my test event displayed at 11:00 - 12:00 but on editing it is actually 10:00 - 11:00 - the latter is correct.

27th Oct is the day that DST ends in the UK (at 0200) in 2024, but the events are several hours after that.

SOME EMAILS CAN BE MOVED TO FOLDERS. LARGE NUMBER OF EMAILS SOMETIMES CAN BE MOVED TO FOLDERS. THEN, ALL EMAILS MAGICALLY APPEAR AGAIN. WHAT GIVES? IS THERE A SPECIFIC SETTING THAT IS CAUSING THIS GEM?

Hi,

I have Thunderbird nebula 128.2.2esr (64-bit). The msf files seem to corrupt many times each day. This results in 'repairing' folders or when this fails - and it is pretty frequent - restarting Thunderbird.

I have tried completely deleting Thunderbird and all data files - reinstalling - and the same result.

Please help. Shalom Norman

Using TB 115.15. When I delete a number of messages, then empty the trash, I cannot delete another message until I restart Thunderbird. Is there a limit as to the number of emails I can trash prior to emptying the trash?

G'day from 'Straya!

I have migrated Thunderbird from one Windows laptop to another, copying the profile and all included files. This mostly worked but has created a couple of issues I am trying to troubleshoot and could really use some help.

First thing probably worth noting is that I had an earlier version of Thunderbird on the old laptop than the new one downloaded to the new laptop. I don't that if that is the problem.

I have two email accounts which are both using IMAP. When I delete an email in Thunderbird, it keeps coming back and I now have multiple copies of that email. My storage is filling up 😒 Is there a setting I am missing?

Additionally, the migration does not seem to have brought over my contacts. Did I miss something?

Any help and advice will be greatly appreciated.

With the latest Thunderbird update (128.1.0esr) I am seeing frequent "not responding" situations. It eventually does come back. Am I doing something wrong? I am on a PC running Windows 10.

My Thunderbird randomly stops checking for email messages, and will not even check when I click 'check' (the cloud). I have to dismiss Thunderbird and restart it.

Hi, I used to run TB sync together with the CalDAV provider addon. I host a nextcloud instance in wich Ihave created some of my own calendars and some calendars wich are hosted in ical format on several servers. Before the update to native CalDAV and on my other devices, I am able to sync with all my calendars. On the new version of TB however, I only see the calendars actually created on the nextcloud instance. Is there a setting I am missing or is this feature just not implemented. Bets Regards

Hello, I have had to re-install Thunderbird after a disastrous upgrade to a more recent macOS, and subsequent downgrade. I thought that all my information would be preserved in the various Time Machine backups that I have made. However, all of my local folders containing 18 years' of email correspondece have disappeared. I can only view emails which are stored on the remote IMAP server. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, John.

Hello,

I can't receive new emails on my Thunderbird account because every time I try to refresh my inbox, I get this message:

‘An error has occurred while saving your messages. Make sure that the file system gives you write rights and that you have enough free disk space to copy the inbox’.

No problem with webmail.

We have another computer in the office connected to Thunderbird that receives all our emails. All the settings are the same, except that we haven't updated Thundebird.

We use a POP system.

Thank you for your feedback!

I have update to 128.2.0esr (64-bit) ever since i have done so my emails show as a code like below

Can someone assist please.

Hi - I am receiving strange code instead of message via thudnderbird.

For instance in thunderbird I can see this code: --Apple-Mail-B3D821E7-DE68-441A-B1BC-700C9510C7FF--

But when I log in to my online inbox I can see the content of message etc.

Is there anybody who can help with that?

Kind regrds, KK

Recently while tracking down a problem with my Optus email account regarding a message stating that my quota of storage was reaching maximum, a Optus "tech" advised that I should change mr port number in my Thunderbird account and this has resulted in the now present fault condition. I can send emails from this PC without any problems but cannot receive any. I am sending this message from another PC thyat does not have this problem. What is the correct number for the port. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird on the problem PC, even ded a system restore without success. Send OK, no receive. Help. Cheers, Gordon Shaw

At least on Linux, all versions of Thunderbird with Supernova UI are unusable for emails which requires a hardware key to login. The "insert key / input PIN" never shows up in those versions. The bug presents on flatpak distributions and latest daily version (130) as well. The latest stable version that's working with hardware keys is 102, but it has some serious performance issues with large amount of calendar entries.

I can't find the answer online. When I receive an email message and then several other people respond to the message, how shd I set up TB so the messages responding to the original message appear on my screen with the most recent one at the top of the list of responses?

Many thanks.
