Thunderbird Community Forum

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.

Bonjour, Depuis deux jours, la rubrique "message envoyés" a disparu du panneau de gauche de ma messagerie Thunderbird, sans que je sois intervenu sur les paramètres ou les réglages... Comment la retrouver, il me semble bien que tous mes messages envoyés devraient être archivés..."quelque part" Merci de votre ou vos réponses, Papyd

When trying to send emails from Thunderbird, I either get an error message that they have timed out, or that the server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. This problem started out of the blue on Friday 20th Dec. I can send emails by logging into my email provider 123-Reg without any problem. Any help appreciated.

This is a specific problem that started a few days ago. I sync between my Mac and my iPhone. It's worked perfectly for years, and still does so with two (iCloud, Gmail) of my three accounts. With the Thunderbird account, however, when I delete a message on my Mac, the message is not deleted on my phone. If I delete a message on my phone, sync works and the message is deleted on my Mac.

Fix it. I use Google Calendar integration. When a calendar item pops up a notification, Thunderbird stops retrieving email until I acknowledge it. This is a nuisance when I'm away from my machine for any length of time and I rely on Thunderbird to process incoming emails.

Thanks.

I want to contact the developers of the best free email client in the world! By the way, the new version of the mobile email client is simply SPACE, WOW!! But the problem is precisely in the desktop version.

I really like your product. Many of my colleagues at work use it with pleasure. But there is a huge problem that brings a lot of problems. This is restoring the email client on a new PC or transferring it from one PC to another. Why, when installing your product, there is no option to choose WHERE I WANT TO STORE THE MAIL DATABASE and USER PROFILE. Usually everyone puts the D drive so that when reinstalling the system, the mail database and profile are preserved. There is no mechanism for creating a single backup file for transfer to a new PC. It would be very convenient to create one file that contains all the email files (letters, attachments, user profile), transfer it to a flash drive/disk and restore it on a new PC.

2. And the second problem. This is the lack of a mechanism for synchronizing the address book between several PCs on the same local network. This is very necessary when one department has one client base and is in correspondence with them. I installed third-party extensions, but they all work very poorly and require a single storage for this file, and often one email client simply replaces it, overwriting the data of another version of this file.

In Thunderbird I see two methods of accessing/editing SMTP settings for email accounts.

1. Using the "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" which displays all the email accounts in a list. You then select one and click "Edit" to view or edit it.

2. On each email account page there is an "Edit SMTP server" button. Click that to view or edit the SMTP settings for that account.

I'm seeing two problems:

1 - The settings made using #1 above don't carry over into what I see using #2 above.

2 - Using method #2 above, changing the SMTP settings for my newest email account also changes the settings (seen using #2 above) on one other email account. And vice-versa.

What could be causing this?
