The increasing volume of spam is getting annoying. If I filter spam messages they get put aside, and that doesn't hurt the spammer. What I would like is a reject option so that the spammer gets a bounced email. that will really annoy him and perhaps 'encourage' him to not spam me.

Something has changed in the way Thunderbird is handling Replies. Replies used to be added to the original email with an arrow indicating that the email had been responded to. Now the reply is added to the mail list as a separate email grossly clogging up the list of emails. Sometimes the "replay arrow" is displayed and sometimes not. I do not want the reply shown as a separate email. Is there some setting that will accomplish this? I have been unable to find anything that looks like it would work.

PS The Bold and Italic for this email did not work.

This is an odd one I've not encountered before. I have TB installed on 2 laptops at home. They are up-to-date with 128.6.0 installed, and both are using the same wi-fi system.

All of a sudden a few days ago, TB on one of the laptops, but not the other, became noticeably slow in deleting messages. It now takes a few seconds for what before always happened instantly (and still does on the other laptop).

Not the end of the world but it's annoying and I'm hoping there's an easy fix.

Thanks for any help.

Hi, I am moving from Outlook and struggling with Thunderbird email accounts I wish to setup 5 mail accounts, four of which relate to different people or departments and on that collects incoming email from mailboxes that are re-directed. I find that I can set up the outgoing smtp and the incoming smtp but I am not give any choice for sending mail. Also whatever I do the first account I set up always appears as the only account visible in the folders pane. If there is a definitive explanation of what to do to configure email in Thunderbird it would be most helpful?

Regards Greg

This issue started to appear 2-3 weeks ago. It appeared on my three ‘smtp.mail.yahoo.com’ (aka, @cox.com) accounts when I was attempting to send a message. The ‘Permanently store this exception’ worked and the messages ceased. My other account: pop3.mailfence.com with smtp.mailfence.com began having the same issue except the “Permanently store this except” function fails to work. At first, only sending (smtp) was failing. Now, I can no longer even access the account without the message (included) being displaying. I am aware that Norton is involved from viewing the certificate information . Yes, I use Norton 360 and have for decades. I have, also, been on the TB support site (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/thunderbird) and found similar issues. Unfortunately, none of them seem to address this specific issue. Thank you in advance for your time and effort. Roger

For some reason, I am getting message that the Certificate for server is not valid (etc.). I can not get or send my emails as of this morning. Is there something I can do to resolve this issue?

After I've successfully logged in, why does Thunderbird continue to indicate my login has failed and asks me to login again, repeatedly? Do you know how I can fix this?

Just wondering if there was a way to change the behavior of Thunderbird. Currently, if I add a subfolder to an IMAP mail account, that folder will show up in the Unified Inbox. Yes, I know how to remove it from there but I'm getting tired of doing that each time I add a folder as I need to do it to multiple devices.

Thanks.

Hi,

Since upgrading to thunderbird 128.6.0esr, my shared google calendars no longer show any events.

The activity manager shows it is stuck trying to sync, but not going anywhere.

Onn checking the developer logs, the following messages are displayed.

Anybody else having this problem or know of a solution. (I have removed "CALDAV" and "TB SYNC" extensions - also installed "TB SYNC 4")

Thanks Paul

I am about to lose access to Outlook. My current settings show imap.mail.yahoo.com and smtp.mail.yahoo.com and it is working. This is an sbcglobal.net account. When I look at what ATT says it should be due to changes they made it reflects imap.mail.att.net and smtp.mail.att.net. The ports are the same between both choices. It says on both of these when entered that it can't access and the user name or password is incorrect which is not the case. Any help out there???

bjr ma création d'un compte de messagerie hotmail sur une surface pro 3 est a priori bien faite en automatique, création validée, pour autant, après la création du compte, aucun message n'est téléchargé. La même procédure de création sur un autre PC donne par ailleurs totalement satisfaction et les messages se téléchargent bien merci pour avis cdlt Gérard

I tried to open settings because I need to change account passwords. As soon as I open settings Thunderbird crashes after showing the settings page for half a second. Latest Thunderbird version under latest windows 11 version. Anyone else has this problem? Restarting the PC (miracle cure for problems under windows) did not solve the problem. Anyone else has this? Anyone knows a solution?

I cannot access my accounts passwords, so the problem is rather worrisome and urgent.

peculiar problem, my wife's installation of Thunderbird seems to be corrupt somehow. she cannot make a new folder or subfolder, when you right click the option to create a new folder is not even there, the only way is file/new/folder but nothing happens...now that was weird enough but since this started we have both got new machines with a new installation of windows 11 and a new installation of thunderbird and yet the wife still has the same problem, we did import the profile from the old hard drive so could the problem have been imported with the profile.

I have changed a thousand settings from various help pages, I can program, build and repair PCs, and I run my own dedicated server so I am not a noob.

it seems that something somewhere is restricting the right-click menus and the facility to create folders and subfolders. HHHHEEEEEEEELLLLPPPP

Hello dear helpers!

I am currently trying to register my Gmail account with Thunderbird. Unfortunately, this is currently failing.

After I have entered my access data and confirmed in the Google browser that pops up that Thunderbird should have access to my Google data, the Thunderbird that pops up again says at the top of the screen that “the password is being checked” and at the bottom left of the screen it says “the access data is being sent to Google” or something similar.

After that, nothing happens. I get no error message and no message that anything has gone wrong or that there is an incorrect entry. I have waited 20 minutes, but nothing happens.

Then I tried to close the program, but this didn't work because it hung up or crashed. I then had to close Thunderbird manually via the Task Manager because it didn't respond even after repeated attempts to close it normally.

I then tried the same registration again. Unfortunately, the result was exactly the same.

The registration request also seems to be received by Google. I get the security notification for my login in my mail app. Google allows you to “Check activity” if you believe that the login attempt is not yours, but here it was me. I didn't click on anything there, so that can't be the reason.

Would someone be so kind as to help me here? I don't know what else I can do to link the accounts/register them with Thunderbird.

Hello!

Unfortunately Thunderbird refuses to save my password preferences.

I now have to enter my password every time I start it. Each time I enter it, I have also checked the box asking Thunderbird to save my password using the integrated password manager. After I have entered it and logged in successfully, I see that Thunderbird does not save it, because no saved password is displayed under “Privacy and security” -> “Passwords”.

I am using the latest version (I checked under “About Thunderbird”). I do not use CCleaner. My OS is Windows 10, my inbox works normally and I can see my emails and send new ones.

How can I fix the problem please?
