I have 5 Gmail accounts that I have been using in Thunderbird for years. One of them was glitching a lot, so I removed it, then tried to add it back with no luck. I uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird, which automatically populated with my other four accounts, but still can't reinstall the fifth account. When I enter my account and password, it says "Configuration found in Mozilla ISP database" with a green checkmark. Then it takes me to Google, and shows my correct email address. When I hit Next, I get a 400 error message every time. "The server cannot process the error because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That's all we know." Can anyone help?

Problem: newly added account disappears when TB is closed. Thunderbird on this PC (Dell Latitude 6540) has held a Verizon account for years. The "new" account is a different, equally old Verizon account kept on TB in an identical PC I no longer use. When added to TB on the present PC it tests and works fine until TB is closed. Repeated numerous times. Having read thread # 1286437 I did what follows , to no avail: 1. tried TB in troubleshoot mode; 2. tried in Windows safe mode; 3. cleared startup cache; 4. drastically pruned old emails; 5. looked up profile folder under troubleshooting info. Folder qxxxxxxd ( size 1.18 GB before adding new account) holds one folder tree, one directory tree, but NO prefs.js file. Instead, twenty-two prefs-xx.js files from 1 to 22; removed all to a thumb drive except prefs-1.js which I dared not rename as prefs.js; 6. found two profile folders, both labeled default. One is the above holding 1.18 GB, the other holds 685 MB (probably harmless and related to an old university account no longer extant). I copied both profile folders to a thumb drive. Note: profile folder qxxxxxxd is clearly engaged in what I am attempting. When TB is open with the added new account working -- which is the case as I am writing --, profile folder size increases from 1.18 to 1.20 GB and the number of folders increases by one (under "Mail" the list of pop.verizon-xx.net sub-folders increases from 17 to 18). Please advise on what to do next; I am 86 and no software geek, but can follow instructions... Thanks --Paul

Overnight, Thunderbird showed some messages as blank or having some "random" characters / strings or some sort of html code instead of the messages. I know there is an archived thread about it, blaming the antivirus. But, unlike what is said there, the messages are ok on the provider's server (gmail). I'm currently reading them like that. I've tried reinstalling TB, but no joy. Only a few messages are affected.

I keep receiving a pop-up message from Google saying Mozilla Thunderbird Email wants to access your google account. This appears on my laptop for an email account that is set up on another device. How do I stop this very irritating message. I have clicked allow and deny and it keeps popping up every time I open the emails on my laptop.

I followed the online instructions to move TB from my old W10 computer to my W11 computer. Inbox and Sent emails transferred ok.

What still is MIA is (1) My Address Book entries from W10. The W11 Address Book has no entries, (2) All the folders created in W10 below Local Folders. I see W11 does not permit creation of a folder under Local Folders.

If anyone can illuminate either (1) or (2), please tell me how?

All of a sudden, without installing a new release, no change to settings, send does not work any more. Windows 12 TB 128.3 I push send, screens gets less contrasted and nothing happens. I bypass the problem by leaving the message, saving it to drafts and with my smartphone I srnd the draft! Something else happens since some time, do not know if it is related: when I open TB and go to inbox, it shows an inbox that's not up to date. After a minute it refreshes to the present inbox. Pls help, TY

I was trying to transfer my TB profile from one computer to a new one. On the new one, I inadvertently checked to sign in with a Google account.

Now, the only way to see my mail is by signing in through Google Accounts. True, the preceding page gives me the option of DENYing to sign in with Google Accounts or continuing to sign in wit Google Accounts. But if I choose DENY, the same page just re-appears. I cannot see my TB. Only way to see contents of my TB is to sign in with Google Accounts.

Can anyone tell me how to sign into TB, eliminating Google Accounts, and yet see my TB?

We have two Win 11 PCs which are up to date with regards to the OS. Both of the computers are runnin Thunderbird 128.3.3esr (64-bit). Each of the computers has several Gmail accounts attached to Thunderbird. Up until a couple of days ago everything was working well. Then,one of the Gmail accounts became incapable of sending messages - after "send" is pressed it goes into limbo. The same thing occurs on both computers, while the other Gmail accounts work fine. I tried deleteing the account on one of the computers and then re-adding, but that did not solve anything. Please help. Thanks.

Thunderbird E-Mail stürzte beim Öffnen ab, es wird lediglich eine graue Box angezeigt, mit einer statischen Internetadresse (in roter Schrift). Kann man auch nicht anklicken oder so. Ich hatte wichtige Kalenderdaten auf meinem Laptop, die ich nun nicht mehr abrufen kann. Kann ich irgendwie wieder an die Daten herankommen? Danke für die Antworten.

Thunderbird 128.3.3esr 1) Hotmail required authentication to be changed to OAuth2. Despite doing this I still get Authentication failures in the same Thunderbird session although closing and reopening the Account Settings shows authentication as OAuth2.

2) Once Thunderbird is closed and re-opened the Account Settings shows authentication has reverted to normal password.

3) I've tried deleting the account. It reappears on next load of Thunderbird even when I've also deleted pop-mail.outlook.com from the profile (There is only one and it is the default). The pop-mail.outlook.com entry also reappears.

I'm considering deleting Thunderbird and attempting to reinstall (I know enough to be able to preserve what mail I want) but if that fails to solve the problem I suppose I'll have to give up on Thunderbird and find another mail client.

I've used Thunderbird for many years and occasionally contributed to Mozilla's requests for a contribution but until this is resolved I shall continue to ignore Mozilla's persistent and annoying request for a contribution. After all - even if I were to contribute could I be sure that request wouldn't continue?

Hi there, I had chatgpt help me write my message because I was big mad about e-mail not working. The below is my actual concern but summarized much more nicely than I could ever write it.

I am writing to seek assistance with an ongoing issue I have been experiencing while using Thunderbird as my email client.

I have a self-signed certificate for my email server, and I frequently encounter problems with Thunderbird not being able to retrieve my emails. It seems that every once in a while, Thunderbird refuses to accept the certificate, prompting me to remove and re-add my email account entirely. I have tried manually removing the certificate and re-adding it; however, Thunderbird consistently reports that it is a valid certificate.

When I remove and re-add my account, I am prompted again to accept a security exception, which I do, and then my email retrieval works correctly. My concern is: why do I have to constantly add exceptions, and why does email not work if Thunderbird reports the certificate is valid?

Additionally, I am having issues with notifications. Specifically, I would like to know how to prevent Thunderbird from showing notifications through my OS notification bar. Recently, I received a notification about being unable to connect, but it was cut off, leaving me unaware of the full message and details. It is quite frustrating, as it shouldn’t be this complicated to manage an email client in 2024.

For your reference, I am using Pop!_OS 22.04, which is based on Ubuntu. My current version of Thunderbird is 128.3.3esr(64-bit).

Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your guidance on these issues.

Best regards,

I have back up the gmail and my gmail account has been suspended. After that i have import my gmail(mbox) into the thunderbird but unable to see my gmail.

Could you please urgently let me me know what is the cause of this issue?

Since migrating Thunderbird to a new computer and updating to version 115.10.1 every word I type into a new email is marked as misspelled.

It says that its using the English (United Kingdom) dictionary but reports words such as "I" "The" "and" as incorrect.

I could always turn spell checking off but I'd like to fix it....

Any solutions?

I am not very tech savvy, so I apologise if I have asked this question before.

Having just downloaded Thunderbird and trying to add email addresses I keep getting a pop-up asking for passsword. I have tried every password I have with no success.

The pop-up says: Password Required - Mozilla Thunderbird.

Having never, to my knowledge, created a password for Thunderbird, I am stumped.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Hi,

I haven't changed anything within Thunderbirds and sent email just yesterday on it. Today I tried to reply to an email and got the following message:

"The mail server responded: From address must match authenticated address. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again."

As I said, nothings been changed and everything looks okay.

I am not very techy, so would appreciate any help on how to fix this issue.

Thanks,

Stuart

Since 2 days I can't send Mails

If I press Send the Menu & Buttons became disabled and the Mails are not sending. I can interrupt and it is asking me if I want to save the Mail I remember that it was an Update of Thunderbird (128.3.3esr 64Bit), since then I've this Problem. I tried to disable Antivirus, but no success. I've an older Version of Thunderbird (115.16.2) installed on an old server, an here everything is ok

Whats could be the Problem ?

Hi, the subject line says it all about my query but for some context, I need to know how many events there are for a specific calendar in a 180 day date range. I can't see any way of making this calculation. Currently I am exporting the calendar to an HTML page and entering the approriate dates into an online tool. Does anyone know Lightning intimately enough to have a more elegant solution?

Cheers

I have been having problems with Thunderbird ever since I updated from Windows 7 to Widows 10 about 6 weeks ago. But these problems have become overwhelming recently. I have latest version of Thunderbird 128.3.2esr (64 bit). An unusual aspect of my setup is that I do not keep my Thunderbird profile on my C Drive but on another drive. I need to keep many of my emails so I have a large Archives with the emails kept by each year. I also have a large number of emails in Local folders from a previous email software I was using. Over the last few days I deleted a large number of emails from these Archive files to try to reduce the size of them. I also deleted a lot of emails from my current Inbox (as well as moving emails from there to Archives). But my Thunderbird has started to play up in ways I cannot understand: 1. Thunderbird has created about 10 new folders with names like Inbox-1, Inbox-2, Inbox.msf-1.compact-backup, etc. There is even a folder called Trash-1 2. Inbox-3 has one message in it which is one line of garbage - but the size of the folder is reported as 3.8GB! Inbox.msf-1.compact-backup has 1 message in it which is full of garbage and is reported as 6.1MB 3. My Deleted box got large in the process of doing the above. So I have emptied it several times. But the size of the Deleted box keep growing and has now reached 102 GB! I have compacted the Deleted Box and it does nothing. 4. Multiple copies of some of my emails are turning up in my Inbox - some as many as 6 or 7 copies. As a result the size of my Inbox keeps growing. I tried using a Thunderbird Extension that removes duplicates but, although it correctly identified all the duplicates, it stopped functioning when I clicked OK to remove the duplicates. 5. Needless to say that Thunderbird also at times excruciatingly slow and frequently freezes (with "(Not responding) showing on the Thunderbird window. 6. At one stage there were 1000s of message which were dated 1/1/1970 and were blank. I think I have deleted most of those. Using Windows Task Manager, I can see that CPU and Memory usage are always blow 50%. The Disk that the Thunderbird profile is on is sometimes at 100% and sometimes at a low %. But this does not seem to correlate with what I am actually doing. For example right now as I am typing this message, it is showing 100% active time and disk transfer rate of 450kb/sec but I am not doing anything with Thunderbird and the Thunderbird Activity Manager is showing no activity. But another time I could be trying to delete or move emails and it shows a low % of active time on that disk. I have looked through this support site and tried the following suggestion: I have put the Thunderbird profile in the exceptions section of my Antivirus software I have deleted global-messages-db.sqlite and allowed Thunderbird to rebuild indexes I have disabled all extensions as well as the extension I mention above for removing duplicates. I tried opening Thunderbird in Troubleshoot Mode and Windows in Safe Mode. Thunderbird operated more quickly but the problems did not resolve. Bewildering? I have been using Thunderbird for 10 years but after 6 weeks or so of problems and many frustrating hours, I am looking around for alternative email software but I don't want to go to Outlook. Does anyone have any suggestions for email software that can deal with large Archives?
