Mysterious Thunderbird Errors
Dear Support,
We are seeing some errors appear when we either startup Thunderbird or click on our Inboxes. The errors say "Alert from account info@save********.ca i.4Wr1U6N InvalidParameter id: i.4Wr1U6N_CFR_1' - We get very similar errors repeatedly but with different ids. It is happening to 4 of our inboxes. All of the inboxes are on the same server but when we checked with Hosting Support, which while testing our inboxes were able to experience the same issue on their end as well, here is what they said:
I have confirmed to our Titan Team however, we do not find anything suspicious in the server. The external IMAP logins are passing. Below attached are the login reports. We also checked the IPs used to login to the account and even that is not blocked on our end. Additionally, the error message does not mention Server Error but Parameter Error, and the error looks decoded.
In this case, an offline email client app also logs data and has certain rules and parameters for configuration apart from the normal IMAP and SMTP settings, just like our password configuration (where some characters will not be compatible with one client but will be compatible with another client).
Here, there are no server errors logged, and can't see any failures, as I have shared the login logs. Also, the alert/error message is encoded, which can be only decoded by Thunderbird support. Hence, we from the server side will not be able to look at what exactly is causing this issue, until and unless this error is decoded from the Thunderbird side.
Therefore, we would suggest to contact Thunderbird. I hope the explanation helps.

Does the error still occur in Troubleshooting Mode? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-mode-thunderbird
Also, please post your Troubleshooting Information. At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button ≡, then select Help > More Troubleshooting Information. Press the "Copy text to clipboard button" and paste the information into your reply.
Is the information I post in the Reply posted publicly?
No, this is a public forum.
How can I provide my Troubleshooting information privately?
I can understand the desire to protect personally identifiable information (PII). However, the Troubleshooting Information does not contain such private information, unless you check the corresponding box. It would disclose your email provider though, but that isn't exactly PII.
I have the same issue and i too use titan mail. When i had this issue before i was able to resolve it by removing the account and connecting it again however it only worked for my gmail account. Ive confirmed that this issue persists in troubleshooting mode.
Below is my troubleshooting information after restarting in troubleshooting mode. Application Basics

I am also receiving these error notifications. With Thunderbird 128.4.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 10 and Thunderbird 128.1.1esr on Windows 11.
Also, why isn't the About window in the 128.1.1esr version not offering to update to 128.1.4esr?
