Hallo und guten Tag,

ich habe für Windows [PC] und Android [Pixel 8pro] jeweils die beiden aktuellsten Versionen von 'Thunderbird x64'und 'Thunderbird: Free Your Inbox' installiert und eingerichtet. Es sind zwei E-Mail-Konten mit jeweils einer Alias-Adresse eingerichtet, alles unter GMX.NET , IMAP+SMTP sind ebenfalls aktiviert [IMAP port993 und SMTP port465]. Leider bekomme ich es nicht so eingerichtet, daß Mails wenn sie am PC oder am Pixel empfangen und verschoben oder gelöscht oder als Spam markiert sind, daß dieses dann auch am jeweils anderen Endgerät so erscheint. Es werden immer wieder alle Mails neu als eingegangene Nachrichten gezeigt und ich muß dann am jeweils anderen Endgerät die gleichen Aktionen vornehmen.

Wo liegt der Fehler, was muß ich tun um das Problem zu beheben.

I am supposed to be on the esr release program, but today I was automatically updated to beta release 133.0. This is the second time this happened. Thunderbird shows a red screen, and recommends I install the last stable release, 128.5.0esr, which is what I want to do. But the last time, when I tried to go back to a stable release, it then wouldn't let me do that because it says the profile may no longer be compatible. I solved it painfully using timemachine backups of older profiles.

What is the simplest, safest way to downgrade, now that I am in this situation? And why is this happening?

Thanks for your help!

Cannot receive new emails after the recent SOFTWARE UPDATE. Have been using MOZILLA seamlessly up till this latest SOFTWARE UPDATE. The mailbox shows the new design but no new messages are coming.

ERROR 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.

the geek squad copied all programs onto a new microsoft surface for my wife but did not ensure all software works as they don't want to access your passwords. when i go to set up thunderbird, i input the imap pw to the email server and first problem is that it doesn't remember the pw even though I ticked the box. second issue is that it is taking over an hour to open the folder inbox, then it downloaded 4 emails and went back to 'opening folder inbox'. clearly i am doing something wrong and would appreciate any help available from those wiser than i.

I feel rather obtuse asking, but how do I get my Thunderbird addressbook to sync to gmail contacts? I uninstalled Cardbook, because Thunderbird now does CardDav, I treid to create a new CardDav addressbook by opening my addressbook, selecting new addressbook, and going through the steps to give Thunderbird access to my Google account. But,

  no new address appeared in the list of addressbooks, and 
  the option to create a new addressbook is no longer avaiable/showing.

Addressbook is still not syncing. My server settings are IMAP. I still have three address books: All, Personal, and Collected.

I am flumoxed. John

When I select an email without opening it, and press the Del key on my keyboard, the email used to be deleted - but recently this stopped working. I now have to open an email before I can delete it. Any idea what could have caused this to change and how to fix it?

I have encountered the following issue about a year now .I have been using Thundebird some years now and I have created my contact list . Even though I have added in the address book all the contacts I needed and named them as I wanted. When I receive a mail the correspodent appears differently from what I have named the contact.Propably as the person sent me the email have named himself.The same applies in sent mails as well.No matter what I did ,it seems like the database from the address book is not linked to the mail database whatever I do. Please advise

Hi Thunderbird-Team, I am using Thunderbird 128.5.0esr (64-Bit) on Linux (openSUSE Leap 15.5). When I want to attach a file to a written e-mail the file-selection dialog does no longer offer a line-edit-control where I can copy-paste an absolute path to the attachment file. I always have to click through the full directory path in order to specify the file that should be attached. Is there any chance to input a file path via keyboard or just by mouse-paste? Kind regards, Ove

When trying to save an attachment, the search function to find a folder doesn't find anything. Enter part of folder name into the box and press return and nothing happens. Thunderbird version 128.5.0esr. This is an urgent requirement as I have to save attachments for accounting purposes.

Despite working fine previously, the email sever has suddenly refused to log me in - giving this message.... "Log in to server imap.virginmedia.com with user name mike.brown297@ntlworld.com failed." I have not changed anything that I am aware of so what's wrong? It asks for a new password, but I haven't changed it? Please help!! Mike

Depuis quelques jours, lorsque je demande de relever les messages (car je n'ai pas paramétré thunderbird pour qu'il le fasse automatiquement à l'ouverture) s'affiche en bas de page un message du genre "téléchargement de 6 messages" par exemple puis "chargement du message x sur 6" par exemple (avec x = 1 puis 2 ...). Or, la plupart du temps, il y a bien moins de messages qui sont à télécharger. Il me semble cependant que le nombre de messages qui sont téléchargés est correct (je dis cela en ayant examiné ma boite aux lettres chez le fournisseur d'accès à Internet). Cette situation m'inquiète à chaque fois : ce qui est annoncé n'est pas ce qui se réalise ! Y aurait-il un réglage à effectuer dans les paramètres ? Merci pour l'attention portée à ma demande

Bonjour J'essaie de configurer ma boîte mail thunderbird free.Il me marque connexion impossible , configuration , identifiant ou mot de passe incorrect .Je suis bloqué .Quelqu'un peut-il me renseigner pour débloquer la situation. Par avance merci

I've been using Thunderbird to handle my email accounts for a long time (years). My Gmail connection was misbehaving, so I deleted the account on Thunderbird, verified that everything was still there by using the google.com/gmail interface (which works fine), then tried to recreate (reconnect) the Gmail account in Thunderbird. Followed the routine "Set Up Another Account", "Email", entered a name, gmail address, and password, then "Continue". Thunderbird looks up a configuration, finds Gmail, and it all looks normal. Checking in "Configure manually", OAuth2 is there. Click "Done", and it begins "Checking password", and never comes back.........

I know the Gmail account and password are valid, because I can get mail directly from Google.....

I'm at a loss...any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,

I have been using Thunderbird 091 and 102 version to send out digital signed Emails with the help of a pki usb token. Lately, I have downloaded the newer version 128 and to perform the same task by using the same token with the same certificates in, however it failed to do so by showing up an error message when I tried to send out the digital signed Emails. The error message indicates that the signing certificate can't be found or expired, but nothing has been changed except for the newer version of the thunderbird.

Please let me know how can I fix the issue.

Thank you!

I am receiving multiple emails (50 a day) from different advertising site using the same email address. when I enter unsubscribe and the reply is "email not registered"

I have tried blocking the email as well, but that didn't help Please advise asap. Thank you

unable to shift from 'show unread' to inbox. I quit TB to see if it was a temporary prob, but no change. Sidebar shows 168 in inbox. But at bottom of sidebar under unread folders shows 8. If not showing unread, but all messages, the larger number is prob accurate. Clicking on inbox does nothing.

I've just returned to TB after a few month break on Apple mail. I've always preffered TB, but things seemed to disappear, so I switched. But eventually Apple mail had at least as many probs, and I prefer TB. Hope you can help. thx.
