I have five email accounts defined on a hosting service. On my computer in Thunderbird I have my main account on the left side followed by one of the other five. Then comes Local Folders and two more email accounts. I can retrieve email into my personal account and the one above Local Folders. I can't retrieve into the other two accounts. My wife's computer has HER personal account and one of the ones into which I can't retrieve. She can't retrieve into that one either. I have checked details of the definitions of the accounts on the hosting service and in Thunderbird on both of our computers and can't find anything different on the accounts that don't retrieve mail. I have an Android tablet running the K9Mail client and have my personal account and one of the problem accounts defined. I setup the other problem email account there and got complaints about it not being from a trusted site. I went ahead anyway, went to my personal account and sent a message to the new problem account and was able to go to that account and retrieve the message. What am I missing?

in the older TB for a loooong time, adr book and inbox showed up under WINDOW item new TB changed that and sometimes shows under TOOLS menu but in inbox it doesn't in compose/edit window it shows. See attached

I have been trying to get my Comcast email configured for days with no luck. When I try to log in using my Comcast password I get a screen that shows "Access Denied You don't have permission to access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. Reference #18.321c2e17.1727662977.283cff2b https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.321c2e17.1727662977.283cff2b. I have allowed access to third party apps on my Comcast account and I am able to access my email on the Comcast website with no problem. I saw something about disabling IPV6 but it said to go to Preferences or Options in the Settings menu. My version of Thunderbird (latest) doesn't have these menu options. I have tried various IMAP and SMTP Port settings I found on the internet and nothing works.

What are the settings for Comcast email in Thunderbird?

Hi. I keep trying to delete messages from my AOL IMAP inbox, and they do go to the trash, which I then delete. But then the messages all return to my Inbox. Is this an AOL issue, or a known issue with Thunderbird? Any solutions?

I have had two Gmail accounts on Tbird for about a year with no problems. Now I get unpredictable or no results trying to send or receive messages from the newer account. A message mentioning unsuccessful server authentification is the most common. "we have sent your message but not mentioned it in the "sent" folder due to connectivity problems" also occurs. I have absolutely no problem on iOS mail or Tbird running on MacOS. To the extent that I can decipher the iOS settings, there is no difference.

It seems a new version of Thunderbird was updated and installed today. Although the new message button seems to be working it looks like a dark black button. How can I change the color setting so it is readable?

As of 3 days ago I am finding that all emails and spam I get are all missing logos as well as anthing not script. Many are just blank and right click produces nothing. Dont know what you did but please undo it, Im not in the mood to go find another email host. Thank you

Whenever I try to send an e mail or reply to an email I get an error message telling me that the Connection to the Outgoing Server SMTP was lost in the middle of the transaction. I have check with my ISP (Telstra Australia) and there is no fault at their end. The account settings in Thunderbird are correct and I have the latest version. I can receive e mails but cant send any. This problem has only occured in the last couple of days. Can you help please.

This is what most of my received e-mail messages now look like:

<td align=3D"left" bgcolor=3D"#ED3B30">

Some e-mails can still be read but the message is from a previously deleted e-mail and is not what the current e-mail is about. (A message from a previous e-mail has been inserted into the body of the new e-mail and the info. in the new e-mail has vanished.)

Can someone help me? Thank you.

After several hours of sheer frustration, including reading a significant number of posts I am still without result.

Thunderbird keeps asking for my my password for both my SMTP and IMAP settings despite all of these being correct.

I have checked with my domain and email provider (mail.1stdomains.co.nz) and they inform me that it appears to be a thunderbird settings.

Checking the thunderbird settings they are correct including passwords, however, the mail client just refuses to download the mail providing a dialogue box with "login to account "<PRIVACY>" failed. Enter new password, Cancel, Retry.

Is there some way to fix this error?

I received on 2024-09-25 about a dozen messages from various senders in my Thunderbird mailer from the University of Calgary mail system, around 2 p.m. and at least 50 emails in about a 12-hour period starting on Sept. 19 at about 2 a.m. that had recognizable sender names and subject lines as well as time and date stamps, but were either replaced by text from emails sent years earlier or corrupted (encoded?) in some way. For example, the email below was supposed to be from "Physics and Astronomy general announcements" on 2014-09-25, 2:15 p.m. but note the date in the header. This corruption of new emails is happening at irregular intervals, and I would very much like to know why and how to stop it from occurring. It seems to me that there is replacement of the contents of new emails with old, possibly compacted, email contents, if that makes any sense. Emails read on my account at the University of Calgary webmail system shows no such corruption, so it appears to be a problem on my Thundermail mailer. Look I like to use Thunderbird as opposed to a clunky Microsoft system, so

any help would be appreciated.  Thanks for your attention.

When I move or copy an email from one Exchange account to another the content and attachments are wiped out. The header (date/subject/from/to etc) is all intact. It happens to most but not all emails. This started on 27-Sep-24.

I'm using TB release 128.3.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 10

I've tested the same action within Microsoft Outlook and it doesn't happen. Therefore it appears to be a problem with Thunderbird or OWL. I am in touch with OWL at the moment who suggest removing and reinstating the accounts. I have done this but it make no difference... the same thing happens.

I can move emails to an IMAP account and this is fine... so it's only happening between Exchange accounts.

Hello, I've been using thunderbird since 2013, and have never had as many issues as I have this year. I reinstalled Thunderbird (uninstalled with revo uninstaller so nothing stayed), and then installed the latest version fresh. This seemed to smooth out most of my issues, but I haven't been able to solve this one..

I use Thunderbird because I have multiple email accounts to monitor and like them all in one place. The latest problem that I am having is that my "sent" email is showing up as giberish (sometimes.. Not every email, and not always on the same account).

My system is Windows 11 Home 64-bit

I will attach a screen shot of: 1. My current version of Tbird 2. The email that displays in Tbird 3. The email that displays in Gmail

Thank you in advance! -Eric

Hi, When I get a new email, the sound plays (correctly) and a notification popup appears on my Windows 11 desktop. Unfortunately, the same notification appears over and over.

It seems like it won't go past that email until I read it. I'm expecting the popup to relate to the very latest email that is arriving.

In settings, I have checked Show an alert, Use the system notification, show a tray icon for unread messages. In customize, I have all 3 fields checked with a 4 second timeframe.

I am using 128.3.0esr (64 bit) with nebula

Can this be resolved? If so, please enlighten me.

Thanks in advance! Don Sceifers

There are about 16 attachments that appear following various folders when I start Thunderbird. I can delete each each individual folder and they appear in Trash. I delete them from trash. As long as I don't close thunderbird the attachments stay gone. When I close and restart Thunderbird, they reappear. Ir I don't delete them before closing, they reappear when I start Thunderbird again. In this case about 1/2 the folders can't be deleted. After several start, close, and delete sequences I'm back to the initial condition. The attached images show Startup with all the extra folders, then the cleanup process, and finally the extra folders in trash. Once in trash they can be deleted.
