Thunderbird Community Forum

I've been (mostly happily until 2 yrs ago) with Eudora. My usage model is to keep all (saved) email locally (20 yrs archive), access via POP. Unfortunately, the evolution of HTML, iso character sets, etc has been forcing me to move on. I tried TB about 2 yrs ago and abandoned the project for lack of time and urgency. I'm trying again, but now very serious. Anyway, I set up an install and did basic tests - all ok. But I can't seem to find config options to customize. I found some option to set my mail store to a folder of my choice (away from the system root -- C:\ - i use windows 10-11.) to something like E:\docs\tb. It created inbox, trash etc. right there. My previous install attempt (2 yrs ago) created these in a subfolder named for the email account (eudora calls 'personalities'). I do want to use multiple accounts each in their own 'garden', not in the same inbox, outbox, etc.. I can't find where to configure this - I can't even find how to configure my earlier choice to store them on E:. What am I missing? On some settings for copies and folders, it offers (eg) Sent folder on <email account>. I presume this is particular to IMAP and not relevant to my current setup.

That's enough to get me started, but I would like to eventually migrate my Eudora archives to TB, so a pointer to docs on this would be appreciated.

Tnx, Tom

Hello,

I have several email addresses with Thunderbird. When I open Niels.Wichmann@gmx.de a password is requested which I no longer know. Under privacy and security => saved passwords there is no imap for the account, smtp exists. I can access the account with my app on my cell phone. How can I set a new password or how do I get the password? I can display all other passwords.

Regards N. Wichmann

How to permanently set line spacing to "Single Line Spacing" in emails, any online solutions do not work in Thunderbird version 128.5 64 bit.

I used to able to do this easily and effectively but with the new version of Thunderbird I don't seem to be able to get it to work.

Any working solution would be most appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same problem as asked in: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1440873#question-reply (I can no longer reply to that thread as it has been archived, so I am asking again now in search of an answer).

To reiterate the problem, draft emails are save correctly into the 'Drafts' folder in both Thunderbird and the Gmail web app, but only Thunderbird will correctly delete the draft once the email has been sent. In the Gmail web app, the draft email remains in the 'Drafts' folder.

Why can't Gmail automatically delete draft emails that have been sent? Is there a solution?

I am using Thunderbird 128.5.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 11.

long time thunderbird user but suddenly can receive emails ok but when trying to send get message "error occured mail server responded sender rejected. " don't know what to do watterson @charter.net

I have 2 problems that I would like some help with. I have a dead email account I would like to delete. The company deleted their email server. I can delete my account but when Thunderbird gets shut down for any reason, the email account shows up again. I have even logged in as administrator and deleted the account. The account returned. If I log out of Thunderbird and log back in, the account returns. If I have a power failure, when I log back in, the account has returned. If I log out to do a re-start, the account returns. The second question is similar. I have an account that I can add and it works very well but if Thunderbird is shut down, it disappears. Then I have to put it back in. Putting the account in as "admin" does not help either. Yes, I can put it in as "admin", but it will disappear if Thunderbird is shut down. I have thought about changing all the information in the one account that I cannot delete to the information in the other account that I cannot keep to see if this is a workaround. I am afraid I will miss one little setting and have a mess. Ideas and suggestions are welcome.

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?

I just uploaded TB to my new computer. Now it seems to be downloading emails from years ago from Gmail. Help! I just wanted new email that I could choose to save on my computer. I did select Pop 3. I don't really know what I'm doing. Jean Green
