I am using TB 128.4.3esr on Ubuntu 24.04 and mostly love it: thanks. However, I'm hitting a really irritating if erratic issue: TB often autofills an old address matching the first few letters I type for my addressee. It happens just rarely enough for me not to remember to check the autofill every time I start to address a new Email so I only get to know about it when the Email bounces, but it happens just often enough to be a real pain. I am 100% certain that it's not down to anything I am doing (the addressbook name and both the correct and incorrect addresses share the first say five letters and the autofill kicks in after about two I think). It happens for To: and Cc: fields, I don't know about Bcc: probably because I use bcc very rarely.

I have only noticed it happening with two different addressees (oddly my wife's and my daughter's) and I am pretty sure that of the fair number of old addresses for both of them it's only ever one of those that TB chooses. One byproduct (I assume as I think I had deleted these before) is that the dead address is added to the address book of sent addresses and that may be perpetuating the issue.

Please could we be able to select that TB only prompts with a preferred address for each addressbook entry or have a way to mark old addresses as dead. (I need to keep them to make it easier to find addresses that came from people at their old addresses.) I hope I haven't missed some option or setting that already does this.

TIA and thanks again for TB,

Chris

While I was looking at a sent message it disappeared. I got a message that is was being ignored. When I pressed a box with "Make it appear again" is disappeared totally.

Nachdem ich mein gmx-postfach aufgerufen hatte, tauchen plötzlich bei Thunderbird mails auf,die völlig veraltet sind, aber unter heutigem Datum und Uhrzeit geführt werden.!! Ich wurde heute sogar von einem Absender angerufen, dass ich einen Termin angefragt hätte, den ich aber längst wahrgenommen habe!! Wie kann das sein?? Seltsamerweise tauchen diese "fake-mails " auch im gmx-postfach auf. Ich bin sowieso schon lange verwundert, warum der von mir schon lange gekündigte Vertrag mit 1&1 (gmx) es möglich macht, dass ich bei dort noch immer ein Postfach habe (die alte email-Adresse >>holback@gmx.de<< verwende ich zwar noch).

Hi from very long time I have to add manually the accounts password at every start of Thunderbird. Now I'm at the version 128.4.4esr (64 bit) but the problem is still here.

Ok we can do copy and paste every morning but it will be great if there is a way to fix it.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I've had an outlook account on Thunderbird for years but I now have an issue with sending mail . Incoming mail is OK. I just get incorrect password message. I know password is good as I have reset it online (microsoft 365 account0 and have logged in OK to outlook mail online . I also have the account working OK on iPhone. I'm sort of at my wits end here. Have tried different SMTP server settings. Any help would be appreciated Reade H iMac running 12.6.2 Monterey

Po uruchomieniu Programu Thunderbird, otwiera się nowa zakładka ze stroną https://updates.thunderbird.net/pl/thunderbird/128.0/nov24/ Jak mogę to wyłączyć?

Hi just added an outlook.com account but I'm not receiving any mail. All I see is an inbox (no folders) and the inbox has no mail. I've used these settings: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1449761 I've tried deleting and re-adding the account and closing and opening it again. Help please!

Hi your all,

I have used Thurderbird more than 6 years and it was really good for me without any complaints. However, I updated the email from Supernova to Nebular (128.2.3esr (64-bit) yesterday and I got the following message and I cannot receive any emails now. Fortunately, sending is no problem.

"Sending of username did not succeed. Mail server pop3.mailplug.co.kr responded: invalid command"

I searched the previous similar issues in the forum and I checked my status. However my own was the right one that people recommend.

Receiving Server: pop3.mailplug.co.kr / Port: 995 / SSL/TLS / Normal password Sending Server: smtp.mailplug.co.kr / Port: 465 / SSL/TLS / Normal password

Actually, I am using several pop email apps but I have no any issues on those apps except for the Thunderbird. The problem is Thunderbird is my main app. I am alternatively using outlook but really want to return to Thunderbird. Could you anyone help me out?

Thank you for your kindness in advance!

Most of the time Thunderbird is very slow, taking minutes to log in, minutes to download tiny messages, but sometimes is quick. Sometimes Thunderbird complains the password is wrong, but after three retries it accepts the password. Only occasionally it is quick as I'd expect. This has been happening for several months. I had hopes Thunderbird would find and fix the issue without challenge, but as the issue continues I am now raising it formally.
