Hi All

I have an issue with thunderbird not delivering emails to any gmail account

I have no issues sending to gmail using the same from another device such as my phone as those always get delivered

I have 5 email accounts setup on my PC running the latest version of thunderbird and it does not matter which of my emails I use they never get delivered to a gmail email

There are no errors reported and the message always ends up in my sent box

I have tried multiple SMTP servers from both my ISP and direct through my websites and always the same result

I have been using thunderbird for since it was first released and never had an issue like this before, if any one can assist with trying to troubleshoot this I would be very grateful

Cheers

I am looking to copy Thunderbird to a new machine but it's not as simple as it should be because I have Thunderbird data in multiple places. From Help/Troubleshooting Profiles, I get:

Default Profile yes Root Directory C:\Users\Randy\AppData\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\ohig3f3m.default Local Directory C:\Users\Randy\AppData\Local\Thunderbird\Profiles\ohig3f3m.default

The root directory is 1.37 Gb The local directory is 8.23 Mb I also have d:\data\thunderbird which is 14.7 Gb. There is no Profiles subfolder here.

The two profiles folders show ohig3f3m.default was updated today. All three folders show files as recent as today.

The file sizes shouldn't be surprising. I have saved emails back to 2007 and I'm a prolific email writer.

I'm guessing that some time years ago, with a much smaller main hard drive, there was an option to save Tbird data to a different location than the default. So I set it to be on my D drive.

So what do I do now? I could copy all three directories to a new machine in the same locations. I think that should work. But is there some way I could or should simplify things, or should I just leave well enough alone.

Hi to everyone. I'm hoping someone can help. See attached picture. I have been getting this notification now and then for a few weeks now. It's getting annoying. Every time this happens, I have to manually verify my sign-in information, and it goes through without any issues. Everything stays OK for a week's time or whatever, and then, boom, I get this again. Is anyone else having this problem? Are the Thunderbird developers aware of this problem? Is there a fix I can try to stop this from happening again? Thank you very much.

I have lots of filters to organize my copious incoming mail. Messages get moved into topical boxes. Recently I've noticed that a mailbox has unread messages in it and when I open it, I see the new messages for an instant and then they disappear. And another mailbox now has unread messages. So it seems that the filters run on the inbox when the mail is received and then they are run again (but a different set are applied) when I open the mailbox they got moved to by the first run. I see no settings in the Filters dialog that has anything to do with this behaviour. Why is this happening and how can I stop it?

BTW, most of my filters have Stop Execution as the last step. (Most only have a single Move to... action followed by Stop. And for performance reasons, all newly created filters should have Stop as an automatic 2nd step since most users wouldn't think to do this. )

I have a new computer and now when I get an email with an attachment and want to forward that email with an attachment, the attachment is not included in the forwarded email.

I get the error message shown in the attached screenshot when downloading my emails from outlook.com to a local folder called "DAD". Some messages get filtered, some not. Those that don't get filtered successfully remain in the Inbox, but a message with empty content does appear in the local folder, and cannot be deleted or moved. Re-running the message filters manually will moved the affected messages across, but the "corrupt" message remains in the target folder and cannot be deleted or moved.

The drive that the folders are located on is my data drive, which has c 250gb of unused spaced. WIndows 11, Thunderbird 128.6.1 (64-bit), installed a few days ago when I moved from another machine.

I have an Excel VBA script to send emails to contacts using data in a spreadsheet. It does exactly what I want, except that Thunderbird always adds my default signature to the end of each email. While I want this for normal emails, I don't want the signature on these emails. How can I either tell Thunderbird to not add the signature or to delete it from the end of the email after the rest has been created. Here is my VBA code to call Thunderbird and construct an email...

   thund = "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe " & _
           "-compose " & """" & _
           "to='" & email & "'," & _
           "cc='" & cc & "'," & _
           "bcc='" & bcc & "'," & _
           "subject='" & subj & "'," & _
           "body='" & body & "'" & """"
   Call Shell(thund, vbNormalFocus)

Running windows 11 in S mode, Spectrum email. I had been using Outlook but on 11 February, it stopped working. Wouldn't send nor receive. Webmail works fine. Downloaded Thunderbird. Set up my account and started receiving emails. Went to send an email, and it failed to send. Checked all settings and they match Spectrum's server settings.

Trying to troubleshoot, but struggled with directions on the internet. Tried to load developer tools and nothing happened. Found I could open the error console with keypad. The error console says "Could not start Browser Toolbox, you need to enable it." Could not find out how to enable it.

When I attempt to send email, three messages show up in the error console. "NetworkTimeoutError: a Network error occurred SmtpClient.sys.mjs:476:17" "SecurityError info: SmtpClient.sys.mjs:492:21" Note, no error text was displayed. "Sending failed: ... server (SMTP) timed out.... MessageSend.sys.mjs:341:32"

When I first started running Thunderbird, I remember a certificate error with the Spectrum certificate. I enabled an exception and was able to receive email. Thinking this might be related to the security error on receiving, I wanted to remove the certificate exception so I could see the reason for the security error on receiving. Comments say it is stored in the profile. If I try to open the profile, Thunderbird says profile not found. I found the profiles, but the path to them is not the path listed under Troubleshooting Information\About Profiles.

My primary issue is not being able to send emails. I would also like to know how to remove the certificate exception.

I recently lost all my Stored messages (don't know what I did). I have tried restoring everything from my backup device with no success. My backup data is as follows:- Chris's email 3.2.25 (version 128.6.1est (64 bit) Thunderbird Profiles jb1w6eta-esr imapMail imap.virginmedia.com

My stored folders are there.

I have tried importing using Thunderbird Tools Import From a Thunderbird Installation Choose a Profile folder I have then entered various levels of above backup They all say complete without actually transferring any data.

The current level of Thunderbird I have installed is 128.7.1esr.. Since this is different from the backup could that have an effect or am I missing a step in the import procedure?

Thanks for any help

Hello,

I have installed Thunderbird in 2 computers.

While all business emails sync correctly, my gmails do not sync. I keep getting all new emails as unread, whenever I launch Thunderbird in each PC.

Please note that IMAP is set correctly to my gmails, and they sync fine between Thunderbird and mobile.

Thanks,

Kostas

For the first time ever, three mornings ago Thunderbird wouldn't download emails. I went to my server and checked to find that there were emails waiting, and when I went back to Thunderbird it had downloaded. That happened again yesterday morning, with a bit of a wait before the download. This morning it happened again, and this time it's not downloading at all. What can I do? I need this info, and I'm afraid if I reinstall I may lose it all!?

Im not sure how to sync my calendar between devices, I wouldn't want to keep switching on my laptop just to keep me updated. Also how do I use the chat? there's many options to choose, not sure what exactly there are meant for. Could I please ask for your help in this situation? I'm just new to this Thunderbird.

Hi,

I changed my laptop and moved all my Thunderbird data to the new one. Everything works fine except for the hyperlinks, which do not work. I tried all the solutions suggested on this webpage: https://www.data-recovery-solutions.com/blog/hyperlinks-in-messages-are-not-working-in-thunderbird/.

Unfortunately, nothing changed. I would be very grateful if someone had an idea to fix the problem.

I really appreciate any help you can provide. Adrien

Good afternoon since several days, it is impossible to send or forward mails by Thunderbird from all type of provider free, hotmail or gmail Sometimes one is correctly sent but it's very imposssible to know if it wil work thank you for your help Gilbert.tusseau@free.fr Gilbert.tusseau@hotmail.fr Gilbert.tusseau@gmail. com

Hi all,

I have installed Thunderbird Android and correctly set an IMPA account. It is not a "provider" email, it is my own email using my domain.

I am able to receive emails, no problem there, but I am not able to send emails. After I tap "send", emails are moved to the "sent" folder, but they are never delivered (they don't go to spam). I have also checked the settings with my provider, that hosts my email, all is correct.

Additional context. - If I send an email to myself (same from/to email address), that is sent. - I have tried K-9 with the same settings, it doesn't work neither. - I have FairEmail with the exact same settings, and YES emails are correctly delivered using FairEmail. - Thunderbird app version: 8.2 - Device: a Redmi Note 13 Pro 5G, with Xiaomi HyperOS 2.0.4.0

Thanks

Owing to a price rise in MS Office, I had been looking to move to free software. Unfortunately for email this isn't working. I have downloaded Thunderbird and have tried to transfer my Outlook data there. I started two weeks ago and on average believe the process has been running a few hours a day, for much of the time when I look occupying 0% of CPU capacity, and most of the time not rising above 1%. The import has been stuck at 33% for that time, which I assume means that it imported Accounts and Settings or Address Books quickly and is taking a very long time to import Mail Messages. (It imported the couple of month's worth on webmail quite quickly.) Likely this is owing to the size of the Outlook file, 5 GB. Does this essentially make the transfer impossible? For how large a file could Thunderbird do a successful import?

Hi,

I set up my email accounts using POP3. I now realize I should have set them up using IMAP. Since I originally set things up using POP3, all my emails have been downloaded to my computer, and have been deleted from my provider's server. I have now created a new email account using IMAP. Is there a way to import the emails from the POP3 Thunderbird folder, into my newly created IMAP folder?
