Thunderbird 커뮤니티 포럼

This began about 2 weeks ago. I have email for my business with my domain name (Laurel@handknitting.com), and both my personal (laurelmurphy@fastmail.com) and business email are managed by Rackspace. Only the outgoing mail on my business email is affected.

Here is the error msg I got today when trying to send from business to private email: "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <laurel@handknitting.com>: Sender address rejected: Access denied. Please check the message recipient "laurelmurphy@fastmail.com" and try again.

Rackspace support was able to send successfully from their webmail and from Microsoft outlook using my business email. All of the SMTP settings are exactly the same for both my business and personal accounts. It is clearly not the server, it is TB. Their suggestion was to uninstall TB and reinstall, or change the client.

What do you suggest? TIA, Laurel

I don't want to move messages because I have IMAP and they already synced. And I got the extensions I use.

Now I want address book including mailing lists, and message filters. Which files do I have to move?

And what else should I want that I'm not thinking of?

Thanks!

I have 3 calendars in my Lightning calendar interface. Two are stored locally, one is labeled "Home", the other is "Recurring". I also have a Google calendar named "Shared". I can create and save events into any of these calendars and I can move events between calendars using the context-click "Edit". But if I receive an invite in email, when I accept it I am offered only the choice of "Home" and "Recurring". I cannot save it to "Shared". When I open the event, I am not offered a choice of calendar. I believe in the past I could accept invites into the "Shared" google calendar, but I might be wrong about that.

I have three email accounts on my Thunderbird app. Suddenly, one of them no longer receives messages, but it can send messages. Test mail from the suspect account to another arrives; but test mail from the other account does not arrive -- no error message, just nothing.

What should I do?

Thunderbird opens up but not showing my emails so I can read them. They are coming through on my iPad but not on my computer don't understand why. Would appreciate your help. Thanks Jan Moberly

Hello This morning on my PC I have lost all my inbox messages. Everything else is working fine. I have tried 'repair' but that does not work. I have turned my computer off and on. No change. My phone is receiving messages as normal

Hi, In "Composition/Spelling" I have both the "Check spelling before sending" and "Enable spell check as you type" boxes ticked. In spite of this my spelling errors are not being highlighted. What can I try next to rectify this problem? Hoping someone can help, All the best, Wayne

While I received messages 12 hours ago, this morning I get a message "The certificate for imap.netspace.net.au does not come from a trusted source" How can I fix it, I can receive messages on my phone and tablet. Jim Thyer

Hi, I have a persistent but intermittent problem sending emails. When an email decides it is not going to go a pop up appears and it says:

Sending the message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to Outgoing server SMTP (failed). The server maybe unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify your outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

Can you please advise how to resolve this issue?

Thank you. Tracey

There has been an ongoing problem with the latest updated binary showing up on the main thunderbird.net for days after it has been released. This is a serious problem because users cannot access patches that keep them safe from security vulnerabilities. I've contacted the team several times and was told this was a replication issue with the site or the CDN. The issue still hasn't been fixed.

Today Feb 4th is yet another example. At the main Mozilla security advisory I see the release of TB 135 and TB ESR 218.7. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/

When I go to Thunderbird Releases site https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/releases/ and the main page and click on downloads, I see the OLD 128.6.0

This is a persistent problem and it makes the users of Thunderbird less safe, please fix this.

I recently moved my TB to a new PC desktop, and TB is working fine. But I see that my local archive folder is gone from both the new and the old PC, as well as my NSTMP folder. Could someone help me locate them?

thanks

Trying to set Thunderbird up as an email client (my situation requires apps for Mac and Android), but I cannot get any accounts to take.

It finds my server settings, which align with the instructions I have from those servers, but credentials then fail ("Login to account XXXXXX failed"). I'm logging in on other clients or web with the same credentials with no problem.

Thunderbird version 128.6.1esr (MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1)

You don't even provide an option in your topic inquiry. I'm trying to uninstall per the Mozilla instructions to change to another version of Thunderbird. Apparently Mozilla has no interest in helping.006590

I have 3 computers all running the latest version of Thunderbird. All are setup to access gmail via imap with Oauth type authentication. I was away and didn't use one of the computers for a month. On this computer, when I try to download messages, I get a Google pop-up asking me to allow Thunderbird access. I click on ALLOW but then get a message on Thunderbird "authentication failure on incoming server imap:gmail.com" I have tried copying the App/roaming/thunderbird "settings" folder from a working computer to this one but that didn't do anything. I have tried setting up a different existing gmail address in File/New but this one had the same issue. When setting this up, I tried leaving the password field blank and also tried by putting in the correct password to that gmail address. I am out of ideas and would sure appreciate some help!!!

I had an association G-mail account until mid January, when I resigned my post as president and resigned from the organization. They changed the password on the account, after which I deleted the account from Thunderbird and from my computer.

Now, whenever Thunderbird is loaded (and only when it's loaded) I get a reminder every half hour or so that the account is inaccessible. It shows up in a Thunderbird window that can only be deleted -- no other action is allowed. It also offers no other remedy than "give me my password."

Who will rid me of this inconvenient pest?

I have tried reindexing all individual folders one at a time, and also deleting the sqlite folder and letting it rebuild itself. No luck. The only way I can read my mail is to go to help/troubleshoot mode and read them in troubleshoot mode. Now I have downloaded the update to 128.6.1esr (64-bit) (on Windows 11) and all I get in the main message display area is the "Welcome to Thunderbird" screen. I have several thousand messages in the system, and they're all there, but only visible in troubleshoot mode.

I'm running Win10 and Thunderbird 128.6.0esr. I wanted to move my profile from C: to a different drive (in my case, the D drive). I Googled and got lots of hits, both on the Thunderbird support site and elsewhere, that seemed to indicate to me that some users were seemingly having issues getting this task completed.

Also, looking around in my Windows "AppData" subdirectories, I noticed that there are actually two "profile" directories.

For example: C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\abcdefgh.default C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\abcdefgh.default

Many of the instructions I found were dated from two years ago or more and only discussed moving one profile directory (the one in "Roaming") and I wondered if, in the interim, there's been an addition of a second profile directory that wasn't being addressed in the "old" instructions I was finding on the Web.

So instead of trying any of the suggested procedures I decided to try something else that seemed to be simpler and more straightforward to me. After performing the process I decided to try, testing seems to indicate it works just fine. However, I thought I'd leave this message to ask if there's some issue that can result by doing it as I did.

All I did was to create a new directory on my D drive to hold to two profile directories. Inside this new directory, I created two subdirectories called "AppData-Local" and "AppData-Roaming" to hold the two respective profile directories. With Thunderbird closed, I then copied the two original profile directories into their new respective directories on the D drive:

D:\Thunderbird Profiles\AppData-Local\abcdefgh.default D:\Thunderbird Profiles\AppData-Roaming\abcdefgh.default

Just to be safe, I then renamed the original profile directories under the "...\AppData\..." directory on C: so that if my idea went south, I could just restore the original configuration easily because they weren't deleted. So the original profile directories became...

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\abcdefgh.default.delete_me C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\abcdefgh.default.delete_me

All that was left was to open a Windows "cmd" console window (running as administrator) and create a symbolic link in each of the original directories on the C drive that point to the new locations of the directories on the D drive:

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles>mklink /D "abcdefgh.default" "D:\Thunderbird Profiles\AppData-Roaming\abcdefgh.default"

C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles>mklink /D "abcdefgh.default" "D:\Thunderbird Profiles\AppData-Local\abcdefgh.default"

(Note that I changed the "current directory" before running each "mklink" command to put the symlink in the right directory.)

Then, I started up Thunderbird and... it was as if nothing happened. Everything (old messages, settings, etc.) was still there exactly as before. So far, my limited testing seems to indicate that this process worked without a hitch. I even tried the Thunderbird "backup profile" feature and it created a zip file that seems to contain a subset of the contents of the "Roaming" profile directory, which I suspect is perhaps all that really needs to be saved in a profile backup? Right?

Just in case, I haven't deleted the original, but renamed, profile directories yet. I thought I'd post this message and see if anyone has a reason why moving the profile to a different drive by this symlink process is a "big mistake." Or even a "little mistake" for that matter.
