Hello,

I can't send emails anymore. For a reason, from now on my server cannot handle encrypted passwords (I'm literally translating from French so I hope I'm using the right words). I tried to change my settings from encrypted to normal password, but it cannot work with these either. It used to work before, like for years. And now I get an error message. The message says that (in my case) I should contact my messaging service or provider. So here I am ! I'm not very comfortable with Thunderbird and I don't know what to do... It would be very kind to help me or to redirect me to another service that could solve this issue.

Thank you all !

Hi!

I am using Thunderbird from its beginning (28 years?? more??)

My version is 128.5.2esr (32 bits) few weeks ago, when login, I am notified for each mail I received since my computer was off. They arrive one after the other, as before, I had just one message for each ACCOUNT. So, if I have been mailed 30 messages on 3 accounts, I receive 30 notifications (and before, just 3). Is there some parameter to come back to previous system? Or is it a bug to be fixed? Thanks for answer!

When I am trying to subscribe to https://fosstodon.org/@linkwarden.rss Thunderbird stuck on 8/16 messages. Never finishes. After all I can't find feed in the feeds list and Mail\Feeds\feeds.json doesn't contain 'destFolder'. ```json {

       "url": "https://fosstodon.org/@linkwarden.rss",
       "quickMode": false,
       "options": {
           "version": 2,
           "updates": {
               "enabled": true,
               "updateMinutes": 360,
               "updateUnits": "min",
               "lastUpdateTime": null,
               "lastDownloadTime": null,
               "updatePeriod": "",
               "updateFrequency": "",
               "updateBase": ""
           },
           "category": {
               "enabled": true,
               "prefixEnabled": false,
               "prefix": ""
           }
       },
       "title": "linkwarden",
       "link": "https://fosstodon.org/@linkwarden"
   }

``` But if I try to add it again I got an error "You already have a subscription for this feed"

Hi all,

has there been a recent change in Thunderbird's archiving behavior? Whenever I archive an email in Thunderbird, it only gets marked as deleted since a recent update (about 2-3 weeks ago). The emails then stay in the inbox until I fully delete them. Previously, moving an email to the archive would delete it from the inbox right away.

Is there any option to control this behavior? It makes my inbox quite messy - especially when on the go and already archived emails keep appearing in my inbox.

Many thanks in advance.

I reinstalled thunderbird and cleared the profile folder. Then when I login Gmail, after the OAuth, it tells me "Unable to login at server. Possibly wrong configuration, username or password."

This only happens to Gmail. I also tried Outlook and this didn't happen.

I then tried running thunderbird in the terminal to see what it outputs: (image 2)

"line 232: Script terminated by timeout"

Technical information: TB version: 128.5.1-1 (arch linux aur)

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.

I have Thunderbird running successfully on an iMac (Intel), running Catalina 10.15.7. With Matt's help, I got Thunderbird running on a new iMac M4 running Sequoia 15.1.1. Emails are correct in the new Inbox, but the Local Folders from the old iMac are not duplicated on the new M4 iMac. Tried using the Import function in T-bird but it said that Import failed unexpectedly. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Thanks for any help you can offer.

This happened once before, then started working again for a few months and now doing it again. When I start up Thunderbird the emails will not load. I keeps saying "not responding." After around five minutes or so a couple of emails will load and then it's back to "not responding." Then another few or more minutes of waiting and another couple of emails download and back to "not responding." This goes on for hours. Tonight I have been waiting for eight hours and I'm still waiting with no end in sight. I can't do anything else with email until it finishes. This is very frustrating. Can you help?

I've had Tbird for a number of years and have been satisfied. However, this past year the program started to act up not sending emails every once in a while. Problem would clear itself in 2-3 days. Now it won't. I have not been able to send emails for three months. I have gone through all your advice in all your Support and all your info available on the internet. There is nothing wrong with my Tbird set up, my computer, or my ISP. It's a Tbird thing. I am not the only one who has this problem judging by the number of incidents in your support page. Please get this thing fixed because I am [this] close to uninstalling a now-useless program. Thank you.

I just upgraded my desktop pc from Windows 10 to 11, and before the upgrade I used the Tools Export function to export my complete Thunderbird profile, so I could import it after the upgrade. Unfortunately the export file cannot be read on my upgraded pc using the Import function - Thunderbird gives me error messages every time, that suggest the exported folder might be corrupted or invalid.

My IMAP emails are fine, as I have set those accounts up from scratch and the folders have now populated with all the emails - the problem is all my filed emails, dating back many years, which were all stored manually in a filing system under Local Folders.

I tried manually copying across the individual files from the extracted back-up folder into my live Thunderbird profile and then reopened Thunderbird...which worked to some extent...as in, all the folders are there, but no emails are showing! It shows no messages under each folder, even though if you look under the Profile you can see that the email files exist.

I tried various ways to bring them in, including zipping one of the folders and trying to import from the zip file (which also brought in a folder but no emails) but even though the email files are clearly there under my profile, Thunderbird shows 0 messages in all my Local Folders. It's as though it is unaware the files exist, so I suspect it needs them to be formally imported somehow?

I would hate to lose the emails, as they document important information and purchases etc over many years, along with archived emails for my charity work, social events, etc. As I said, I can see the files are there but simply copying the files to my profile has only worked to the extent the filing 'structure' is visible, Thunderbird doesn't display any of the emails.

I have included two images...one of my Thunderbird Local Folders as they currently look, and the other showing the backed up files existing in my Profile, which I hope are helpful.

Can anyone help please? I am running a desktop PC on Windows 11. Thanks, David.

How do I get Thunderbird to pick up all the messages in all my accounts. Currently, it omits some messages and I have to open one of the web email programs to see these messages.

On Wednesday 12/11 at approx 4PM PT, Thunderbird stopped being able to log in to my sbcglobal.net POP3 account. It had been receiving emails routinely up to that time. There are two error messages associated with this. One happens if TB has been open and I ask it to download new messages using the little cloud symbol or “Get Messages”: “The account xxx@sbcglobal.net is being processed. Please wait until processing is complete to get messages.” Or if I open TB and it just starts with the login process, the error messages is a popup: “Connection to server inbound.att.net timed out.” TB manages two other accounts, both of which are functioning normally. One of them is also an sbcglobal.net account, and both sbcglobal accounts are set up identically: Port 995, SSL/TLS, Secure Mail Key (rather than OAuth2). Version is 115.18.0 32bit, Windows 22H2. Logging in to the server shows many emails that have arrived since the problem started. I have gotten nowhere with ATT/SBC, they don't seem to want to provide any support anymore if they hear the word Thunderbird. Can you help?

Inbox messages disappeared and were not loading for about 1 hour prior to them disappearing.

I can view emails on Dream Host Webmail as well. That is how I know that emails have not been loading onto Thunderbird.

Can still view all other folders. Sent, drafts..........

Was getting an error message initially that another operation was preventing the inbox from working as intended and to wait until that operation was finished. I do not know what that operation is.

I now no longer get the error message - just no new emails in the inbox.

How do I get inbox messages to return?
