Forum communautaire Thunderbird

I have used Thunderbird for awhile without any issues. I just had to switch to a different computer and am trying to get everything set up again. I have three emails accounts through Spectrum. I am able to receive emails but am unable to send them. All of the settings are correct. The problem seems to be that it keeps randomly changing the email addresses under Manage Identities. I have changed them back many, many times but they don't save. It keeps rotating among the three so when I try to send an email, I get this error message: An error occurred while sending email. The mail server responded: sender rejected. The email address you are sending out must match the email address you used to auth. Please check your SMTP settings. AUP#Out-1500. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again. Because they randomly rotate around I can send an email occasionally when it just so happens to rotate back to the correct email address but the next time it has changed again to one of the others and I get the message above. Please help. Thanks.

I've been trying to add gmail account to thunderbird, but everytime the built-in browser get stucked. I tried open the url in edge, but after authorizing it says localhost reject to connect. I've also closed all the firewall but it didn't help. The picture uploaded is where i get stucked. I've erased the password part. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Search in Thunderbird. If I search for a word such as "availability" it returns results for "available" with or without double quotes. It's a bit unhelpful that there isn't a way to force search only for what I am looking for, so I end up getting search results for the wrong thing.

Would be nice to have a wildcard search such as "availab*" which would be more intuitive.

How do I ensure it searches exactly for what I want, and not interpret my search keywords?

I have eMail waiting in the Outbox folder. I open the File menu. "Send unsent messages" is greyed out. I think this has been happening for about a week. I tried restarting Thunderbird. I am using version 115.10.1 (32-bit).

I could send email by moving my messages to the Draft folder, opening each one, and choosing File -> Send Now. But when I tried just now, "Send Now" was greyed out.

Thank you, Bob

Hello All!

Here's the question: what is the best process for moving all my T-Bird folders (and all the emails in them) to a different email account?

I've also posted below why I think I need to do this...if you can help me with the domain transfer issue then I don't need to move everything in T-Bird to a different email account.

thanks so much! :-)

ps here's why: I've had my email on domain X for a couple decades, but I think the ISP where it is registered went out of business as I can not login, nor get any support from them. I've tried moving domain X to a different ISP, but they tell me it is impossible without me being able to login to the old ISP to get the code to authorize the transfer. Hope that makes sense? The best work-around I can think of is moving all my folders and emails to a new email account on a different domain...hence the question above on how to move stuff in T-Bird.

And a huge THANK YOU to everyone for reading this!

Hello,

I am using Thunderbird on a Win 10 PC, with Bitdefender AV. Thunderbird crashes shortly after opening, generally within a few, say 10s. Crash reports are generated and sent.

The most recent are; bp-f3259bbe-b088-477a-b6da-aa4550250119⁩ bp-95774bbe-10bb-4026-be18-685030250119⁩ bp-f62abd3b-4597-417d-b05c-36ff30250119⁩ bp-55073989-ed27-4b83-a4ac-d677a0250116⁩ bp-601e3185-8abd-4123-b3a2-5dfa10250116⁩ bp-b3c6d9bd-55a3-420a-b917-937aa0250114⁩

The crashes continue when safe mode is used. Nothing else seems to be affected.

Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Thunderbird version 128.6.0esr There is a gray "tool bar" or whatever you call it under the menu bar. It appears to be a recent message history.

There are dozens or hundreds of recent message icons on this bar - so many that it is totally useless! How do I get rid of it forever?

When I open a message the folders pane/window/whatever disappears. How do I fix it so the folders pane NEVER disappears?

I didn't have all of these problems on older versions of Thunderbird. How do I switch back to one of the older versions that works?

See attached picture.

Since an update 4-5 days ago, Comcast SMTP server does not accept login from Thunderbird. Comcast help page said it was updating and requires a more secure SSL security. Today the Pop3 server does not allow signin either.

How can I select a more secure encryption that will be compatible with comcast.

Thank you.

Hi everyone.

Since I constantly switch between multiple computers, some of them Windows, some Ubuntu, some dual boot, I have installed portable clients for both platforms onto an USB stick. These are set up to use the same profile folder. Generally, this works fine.

However, I have one issue with my POP3 accounts, which are set up to keep messages on the server for 7 days. After I have fetched a message with the Linux client, checking for messages with the Windows client will fetch the message again, resulting in duplicates.

I checked the data being written to popstate.dat and checked the knowledge base to find out the issue. I found out that the "Flag" (always "k") and "UIDL" sections are written identically by the two clients, but the "Timestamp" section is different, which causes the issue. According to the knowledge base, "The message's time stamp in the file corresponds to the date and time in the From - line at the top of the message source." Needless to say that the message sources of the duplicates are identical, so this doesn't add up.

So here are my questions: 1. Why is a timestamp written to popstate.dat in the first place? Shouldn't the UIDL be enough to uniquely identify a message? 2. Why is the timestamp calculated differently from the same source data on Linux and Windows clients?

Thanks, Ansgar

My Thunderbird app worked fine for over a year and then I noticed that it had stopped downloading after December 20, 2024. I was able to write emails and send them successfully but none of my incoming emails arrived (I have access over my phone). This problem occurred shortly after my APP upgraded to Thunderbird version 128.5esr. I've downloaded the Thunderbird installer and run it but the program still refuses to download my emails. Is their anything I can do without having to find a replacement? I am running windows 10 on an HP laptop I bought in about 2011. Thanks Vic Bastron vcbastron@yahoo.com

Recently I have noticed that my SEND box was not being updated right away. As if there was some kind of delay. I have also some send message that do not show in my SEND box despite being sent and received by the recipient. I have Version 128.6.0esr (64-bit) Any idea?

I think I found the problem in not deleted files (local.sqlite-shm and local.sqlite-wal) after closing Thunderbird. So I will have problems with implementing new dates or deleting no longer used dates. Also the synchronisation between TB and MyPhoneExplorer doesn't work. After deleting the two files (thunderbird is not running) and the newstart of TB all works fine. The next closing of TB leaves the files again in calendar-data. And additionaly the staying file local.sqlite-wal has a date of 04.11.2020 !? A very old file in my opinion. What can I do about this?

The Buttons in the Quick Search bar vanish when the bar get smaller. This is done via javascript and the onoverflow event. How can I disable this vanishing and always show the buttons? I am using custom user css but couldn't get it to work so far.

When I set

#qfb-qs-textbox {
  max-width: 20px !important;
}

in the developer tools, it seems to work, but when this is contained in a custom css file, it doesn't work anymore.

There is also #quick-filter-bar defined, but that doesn't seem to work.

Any help/hint is much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I have received an email from you saying that emails would be sent following my report of a white screen then Crash Report which has been repeating over several days. Please advise when I shall receive the emails to allow me to recover Thunderbird emails. Thank you, M O'Neill
