Thunderbird Community Forum

Can you please tell me the settings to sign in Thunderbird with a POP3 email account with gmail.com? I have tried all day yesterday and nothing works. After typing in the ports and all other settings it tells me the configurations are wrong. I sure would appreciate any help!

I don't expect a reply. I'm simply reporting what I believe to be an error.

I found an Email in my Junk folder that was a billing notice from one of my utility companies. I right clicked on the Email and selected Mark as Not Junk. The message was instantly deleted EVERWHERE. It is not in any folder. I then tried searching for the sender (customerservice@...). The sender's address was instantly found by the search tool, but it stated that NO MESSAGE existed from that sender.

I don't think that marking an Email as Not Junk should completely erase the message from Thunderbird. Rather, I think it should be placed back in the Inbox folder or perhaps the Deleted folder.

I'm using Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit).

Due to a birst central heating pipe I had to move my computer system to another room. When I tried to re-login to my e-mail accounts on Thunderbird, I had no problems with my gmail account.

But I had problems with my other account: gerard@cict.uk. The server name is outlook.office365.com. One of my outgoing server settings is: smtp.office365.com. The e-mail address gerard@cict.uk was bought from Namesco, who appears to be using Microsoft, presumably Outlook. Unfortunately I didn't make a backup of Thunderbird (just saw that it is possible), although I do have backups of my work up till 15 december 2024. Can you help? When trying to get back into my gerard@cict.uk system I changed some passwords. Strangely, having changed them I couldn't log in (incorrect password).

I am depressed. I can of course continue to live, but I received about 100 emails a day. So reconstituting my system for gerard@cict.uk will take considerable time.

This Account is marked up as Standard and there ist not an "Account Actions" drop down under the list of Options. There was no question during installing to mark it up as Standard.

I tried the help article, but it seems to be out of date and doesn't match what I see.

I have an Inbox with 4 emails.

Then I have another email that has an inbox beneath. I'd like to add this fifth inbox to the global inbox.

I am having a problem when connecting to my employer's office 365 server. I'm getting an error that says the current command did not succeed. User is authenticated but not connected. If I connect to the same account in Outlook, it works as it should. Everything was working fine until about a month ago. I had not made any changes to the configuration, except for possibly a version upgrade. I am getting same error on all computers running Thunderbird. Two are Windows machines, one is a Linux machine. I am currently on Thunderbird 128.5.2ESR. I have seen solutions on Google, and I have tried deleting the account, recreating it and changing the IPV6 DNS setting in config editor to true. Has my employer changed something that is not going to let me in? I really hope not, as I cannot stand Outlook. Even more so with the new Outlook. Thanks much for your help and advice.

I reloaded thundebird three or more times and it ask me to give my name email and password then says no good all I want is to get to my folders to access my history

Thunderbird becomes nonresponsive for 30 sec. up to five minutes.

I sent this in before and was told to start my computer in safe mode. I did and Thunderbird worked fine.

Went back to normal mode and, of course, the problem is still there but I notice that in the bottom left corner, it says it is downloading X message of YYY messages when it becomes unresponsive.

I am using a University Gmail account with Thunderbird. Please help me as I love Thunderbird but this has been going on for months and I am about to give up.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have changed from Norton to McAfee for virus checker on tower PC. =McAfee does not recognise Thunderbird as a safe product, so it will not allow access to it for downloading and sending emails unless I switch off VPN. Why should this be? Why does McAfee see the Thunderbird program as a threat?

If anybody else encountered the same problem what can Thunderbird program writers/ managers do to change the situation? I am very happy with Thunderbird and don't want to change from it.

If necessary will ditch McAfee but having paid for a year protection oath to do it.

Regards,

Jim

I've got add a new E-Mail-Account today in my Thunderbird 128.5. There is no option to delete this Account. We can I solve this problem?

Wish you a merry christmas.

Kind regards

I recently re-installed Windows 10. When I installed TB on the new version, both address and (home) calendar data were missing. Not concerned with address as most were probably obsolete anyway. From the information on this forum I opened my TB profile and found the SQLITE files from calendar-data and also the same from my Windows.old file (see image).

Is simply replacing the 4 SQLITE files from .old into the Profiles likely to restore the calendar data?

The files in the backup folder in .old has only SQLITE file - local.v22.sqlite which was last modified in 2021.

Thanks.

One of my email addresses, which I haven´t used for a month or so, has stopped sending messages. I am told to check my SMTP settings. Incoming messages are being received. The server is smtp.office365.com I am using port 587, as recommended by the Outlook site. I was using 465. I have restarted the pc since making the change. The email address is ....@outlook.com Settings are: SSL/TLS OAuth2

I am using WIndows11

I cant find any useful advice on the Outlook site.

Any suggestions ?

Just wondering why when I organize/delete my emails in TB (have several accounts in there) my profile size does not go down but always up? Should I be refreshing or something like that?

''''Simply put, none of the export methods for exporting and .ics file work.'''' Events and Tasks<Export is a dead end. Right clicking the calendar in the left pane and choosing Export doesn't work either. </p>

Thunderbird 128.5.2esr

Before the update to esr, the calendar tab listed only the first occurence of all events, when "All Events" was selected. Now all future occurences are listed, which makes it impossible to have a list of all events listed only once. I have about a 100 events which I used to sort by Title and Category, and I had access to all events under the same Category. Now a list of all events with all future occurences generates thousands of events, which doesn't quite make sense. With the setting 'Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them', the update to esr was still made without my consent. If there is no setting to list only the first occurence of all events, I will have to switch to another email client.
