I saw people posting for over a year about the "Geeksquad" FAKE emails. This still hasn't been corrected, and I am getting them also from the criminal enterprise. They all pretend to be from Best Buy/Geeksquad. They all have Click buttons with the SCAMMER website rxvtom<>.com within the email. Block this Junk, please, before any more people get hurt

I will provide FULL HEADERS Directly to Support Staff. I don't want to Post them here since someone might inadvertently Click on them and get Malware from rxvtom<.>com Malware site.

I was using Thunderbird for Windows 10 normally for many months. Recently, whenever I launch the app it immediately freezes, and I have to force quit the application. Reinstalling the app does not fix the issue. I haven't tried deleting my profiles yet, but I would like to avoid that if possible.

Under Local Folders I have created four subfolders. Each subfolder is a category. As an example I have a Software subfolder (Local Folders / Software). Under the Software subfolder I have additional subfolders (Local Folders / Software / Microsoft - as an example). I can add the Software folder as a Favorite folder. The problem is that if I select the Favorite Folder Software it is empty. I was hoping that it would show me all of the Local Folders / Software subfolders. Is there anyway to accomplish this? I have found that if I collapse the subfolders under Local Folders it is easier to navigate, but I was hoping to be able to see the Local Folders categories and when I click on one of them it would show me all of the folders under that category folder.

Any suggestions?

problem. i do volunteer work. i send bulk email, with about 40 recipients, using Blind Copy for security.

COMCAST.NET is blocking my emails if i send a group email, so the comcast.net recipients don't receive it. I've been told to send to smaller number of recipients, but it is just not practical for what i do. this is not a paid job or a spam job. i do maintenance work in my homeowner association and send out maintenace emails.

IS there any way to generate an email for multiple recipients, an have it SEND to the individual recipients separately (automatically)?

or some way to have it automatically send to the group, but break it into groups of 10 recipients, or something like that?

any way to get my email through, legitimately, without having to create multiple groups, is appreciated.

Ive read comcast info, they say that they block stuff if it has over 100 recipients, but i have 40 or less in my group email, and they're not even all to comcast.net recipients.

thanks

On 9/10/24, I tried to download my email and got the message: "Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox." To my knowledge, nothing had changed on my Win 10 computer, so why this is suddenly showing up is unclear. I have 555 GB of free space on my C: drive, so space isn't an issue. I don't know why the permissions would have changed.

I checked the TB help and found that there was an update, so I installed that. I checked for updates a second time and found another one which I applied too. TB is now at "128.2.0esr (32-bit)" according to Help > About.

I tried restarting TB in troubleshooting mode, but that didn't help. Can someone suggest a way out of this?

Thanks in advance.

I have successfully imported two gmail accounts and one plus.net account into Thunderbird but have been unable to get my outlook.com account to work. I keep getting "We can’t sign you in - your Browser is currently set to block cookies……" (https://login.live.com/cookiesDisabled.srf?uaid=d8765d38fd5349ada4d4d431073a1f36&mkt=EN-GB&lc=2057)

I use DuckDuckGo as my default browser but have also tried with Brave and Edge, turning off any available cookie blockers. I have set Edge to allow cookies but still no success. Can you advise please?

I have previously used Thunderbird for many years and intended to move back now that an Android app is to be launched, so this is disappointing.

Hi, I'm having issues moving a 10 year old Thunderbird installation on a Windows 10 Pro computer to a new Windows 11 Pro PC.

I looked at all the guides & prior support messages and followed the instructions carefully. My old Windows 10 installation was in a custom directory (G:/Program Data/Thunderbird). I ensured it was updated to the most current version and closed it before moving files. I installed Thunderbird on the Windows 11 machine, went to Troubleshooting Info and found the folder that it used for the profile (when I go to profile editor, there are 2 profiles listed in the new build - I verified that I was in the directory for the default profile). I then closed Thunderbird on the new PC.

The two computers are on the same network so I moved all the files from the old location to the new location via just drag and drop. Of note, I couldn't "go up 3 levels" on the original machine's directory as per the instructions because, well, there weren't 3 higher levels of directories - I just moved the Thunderbird to Thunderbird on the new PC.

When I open Thunderbird on the new PC, it still acts like it's a new installation, except I do have my Address book. I tried deleting the second profile it had created; no different. I tried creating a new profile and specifying a directory somewhere else (eg. C:\Program Data\Thunderbird) and moving the files there - no different. I tried copying (presumably inactive) Thunderbird folders from the old computer C:\Users\~\Roaming and \Local over to a similar location on the new PC - nothing changed.

Anybody have any other ideas of what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

A recent update from Norton 360 stopped my email accounts from connecting (123-reg and gmail). It was refusing to recognise certificates from the relevant sites. I have reported this to Norton, but in the meantime I have had to disable Email Protection within Norton 360 in order to get things working again.

I've been using Thunderbird for many years, and its up to date. I've had more and more problems with choppy response times lately. It "freezes" for short periods where the interface stops responding for half a minute, or a minute or so before I can do anything. It always comes back (never crashes, shuts down). Today was some of the worst where it was minutes before I could start using it.

My junk and trash folders are empty, and I've done a compression and run the cleanup operation on a bunch of folders. My Inbox is empty. I only have 2 pop accounts. Its not when its retrieving or sending email though.

A new user, I am elderly and find the script too small in the inbox message list. it is just fine in message content. Can anyone kindly tell me if there is an option to increase the type size, cant seem to find anything in settings, mind you there are so many to get through? My Outlook which I don't care for generally, shows an "easy read". Thank you David

With danish version of Thunderbird 128.5.2esr (64-bit) at Windows 10

Hi,

I updated recently my outlook password and now I can't connect to outlook.office365.com using TB version 115.16.0esr (64-bit) on lubuntu version 20.04. Connection is broken after password update. I have checked server settings they are all good.

I tried to clear TB cache but that didn't help. When I try to get messages from outlook, I am getting blank signing window, on top bar of pop up window it shows Enter credentials... but nothing is visible within signing window, it's all blank

Appreciate any help.

I see THREE address book entries in Thunderbird 128. All Address Books Personal Address Book -my gmail account- Collected Addresses

It is POSSIBLE to create other address books? I WANT one named "Ministry" for specific activity contacts! Is Thunderbird NOT designed to handle this??? I can see that one might want a number of function/activity-specific books to deal with separately.

I have a Gmail account that I use for a volunteer organization that I am leaving. I need to turn over this email address to my successor. I have Thunderbird installed and use that to view my Gmail account. All my messages in Gmail "All Mail" folder have been "archived" or selected as archived. I like to have all my email messages saved to my laptop.

How do I do this?

I was told to create a new profile to resolve performance issues. I did. Now I can't find the settings to get back my single-line message list with column headers. Please help

I'm trying to put TB on a new computer. I can receive email on the new computer, but I can't send. It keeps asking me for a new password. I enter the password and tell it to remember it, but it just keeps asking for the new password. I'm practically certain that I'm entering the right PW.

What can I do to fix this.

This is essentially the same problem as https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1430726 . I am running 128.1.0esr, and the problem surfaced recently. I installed 128.0.1esr (replacing 115.13.0) on July 31. and the problem might have been re-introduced there. I have not researched the version numbers, so I do not know why I went from 115.13.0 to 118.0.1esr.

Here is the problem. I want to see all of the mails with a certain string in the sender field. After I have typed the first character in the filter field, Thunderbird goes into a "Not Responding" state, and I see a spinning blue circle. After I have entered the entire string, it takes a while before TB becomes responsive. When TB becomes responsive, I can delete all of the selected messages (in less than a second). But when I then remove or change the string, TB takes a lot of time before becoming responsive again. Wayne Mery posted at the end of that other archived thread "115.9.0 has a patch related to quick filters which may help." Has that patch somehow been regressed? Thanks.

I have just installed Thunderbird (Windows), and have converted Outlook .PST file to MBOX. I can see the folder-structure in Thunderbird from the .PST file, but Thunderbird say "no messengers" when accessing the result/any folder. I can read the rawdata in the MBOX files with Notebook, and the data is there. Why do not Thunderbird pick up the data? Any setup? I was using "ReliefJet Essentials for Outlook" when converting the .PST file

I have the up to date versions of Thunderbird on my desktop and laptop.

The buttons to check for new messages and compose a new message are visible at the top of the account list on the desktop, but not on the laptop.

I can't see anywhere in the settings on the laptop to show those buttons.
