Came back from an errand earlier this morning and after turning on my Mac again, found that Thunderbird 115.10.1 was prompting me for my username and password at the web page for my account, using a pop-up Safari window. But trying to do that doesn't work because my version of macOS is not supported by Yahoo! Mail anymore.

So I tried deleting the account and adding it back, since this is the very first time it's ever done this, but that doesn't work, either, because Thunderbird still prompts me for the same username and password using the same Safari window that won't work anymore.

Tried updating Thunderbird to 115.16.3, but that makes no difference; still can't send or receive email.

Who's idea was this, and why did nobody consider that web sites have dropped support for many older browsers that can't be upgraded, and give you no option to use a browser of your choice that would work for this, even though it should never be required?

How do I (or others that are affected) solve this problem once and for all?

Re-downloading of old emails

Many moons ago I used Microsoft's Outlook as my email program. When I would open Outlook, it would retrieve all of my emails from my ISP's server, permanently removing the emails from the server while downloading them into Outlook.

When I installed Thunderbird recently, it was to do the same thing. My ISP had sent me several notices that my email account was close to full, so I was looking for an email program that worked the same way Outlook does, and removes my emails from my ISP's email server as it downloads them to my PC.

The first issue I'm having is that Thunderbird does not appear to do this? Or do I simply have my Thunderbird account/settings set up incorrectly?

My next issue is directly tied to the first one. Every time I open Thunderbird it starts re-downloading all of the emails that it has previously already copied into my Thunderbird Inbox, but that are still in my email account on my ISP's email server. This is probably 15 years worth of emails and equates to thousands of emails I'm saving, and every time I open Thunderbird it starts re-downloading them again. I simply want to be able to save them to my local email client (Thunderbird) and store them on my PC's hard drive.

The final issue is also tied to the first two: As soon as it starts downloading the emails again, Thunderbird (and only Thunderbird) lags heavily and almost continuously. It lags so badly that it becomes incredibly difficult to write a new email in Thunderbird, and so I end up closing the program and logging into my ISP's email server and using their client to write my emails, or conducting my email business via my phone, which takes longer and is more challenging due to continuous fat-fingering of the phones tiny little keyboard.

So, am I missing something, or do I have some settings in Thunderbird set up incorrectly? Or does Thunderbird simply not work the same way Outlook does (or at least use to)?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone is willing to give.

Hi,

Why am I getting this 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.

I started the program this morning and got a small download. Left the program open and 30 minutes later tried another download. The program shut down last night without a problem. I have compacted the inbox and there is plenty of disk space. What is the problem? Allan

I am using the latest version at the time of writing These errors only occur on my desktop PC I have tried to replicate this issue on both my phone (Android) and another laptop(Windows 11) but all the websites work normally on there.

I have tried the following, none of which have any effect:

  • Clearing cookies
  • using Troubleshoot mode
  • Restarting
  • Changing Useragent
  • Using "Forget about this site"

The following do fix the issue

  • Using a VPN
  • Using Google Chrome
  • Running Firefox in another profile

Going through the privacy and security tab and reseting all the settings sometimes works but only temporarily

The following are a few websites where the issue occurs

When the latest version is released, if I continue browsing without pressing the update button, the process suddenly becomes slow or freezes until I restart the device. Why is this? There are no problems until the update arrives, but as soon as the update arrives, the device becomes unstable, and after the update, it works as if nothing happened.

I have the setting browser.search.openinnewtab and also browser.urlbar.openintab both set to true, but when I type a search into either the address bar or the search bar next to it, instead of opening a new tab, it puts that search into an already-open blank tab, if one is already open.

I often use blank tabs to separate my currently open tabs into groups by topic and whatnot, so it's incredibly annoying when the search bar takes over one of my adhoc 'separators' instead of opening a new tab like I want it to.

Is there a setting to force the search bar to always open a brand new tab, even if 'new tabs' are already open??
