Bonjour, I have used TB fore more than 20 years without major problems but today I am stuck. The TB version I run on is: 128.6.0esr (64 bits) on Windows 10 I use three accounts with Orange, one has the problem, not the two others. Originally the settings were the same on all three/

pop.orange.fr Port 110, default 110 SMTP France Telecom / Orange Port 587, default 587

Having sought help from the French (my mother tong) TB forum, one suggested to replace those settings for: pop.orange.fr Port 995, default 110 SMTP France Telecom / Orange Port 465, default 587 As a result I no longer received the ERROR message asking me for a password, instead a small blue segment showed on the bottom right of my screen and, after a while...nothing: no mail IN no mail OUT. I tried these new settings on the two other accounts with just the same result: no mail IN no mail OUT. So I went back to the original ones.

Has anyone a clue?

After I download email into my Inbox I typically save attachments to my hard drive for later reference. As I am viewing the email and after I've saved the attachment (the attachment is not open) I right-click on the attachment and delete it. At that time the message immediately disappears and cannot be found in any folder in my download Inbox or in any local folder - not Junk, Trash, Inbox, Archive, Sent or Drafts. This is a random, though frequent, occurrence and I can find no specific pattern to its occurrence. It occurs whether or not the email was Read or Unread. Repairing the folders does not reveal the deleted email(s). Has anyone else experienced this?

Currently folders are sorted alphabetically and it doesn't appear that you can change that. This means that the Trash and Spam folders are way, way down in the list.

It would be better if you could manually override the alphabetic sort or if, by default, the Sent and Spam folders appear under the Outbox folder.

Ik logde een vraag over slepen van bijlagen naar een e-mail dat niet werkt en op advies van de moderator Mark Heijl voegde ik mijn info toe aan een reeds gemelde bug. Wat mij nu wel niet duidelijk is is hoe het nu verder gaat. Wanneer weet ik wanneer de bug aangepakt wordt, opgelost is? Kan ik eventueel nog extra informatie geven om die bug te helpen bekijken? Is er ergens een time-line met welke bugs wanneer zullen bekeken worden? Kan iemand mij hier wat info over geven?

Is there a way to set browser for opening links based on the folder or email accounts?

I have 3 emails setup in thunderbird. I'd like to default EMAIL1 to open links in Chrome. And EMAIL2 to open links in EDGE. Is there a way to do this??

Thunderbird 128.6.0esr (64 bit) can obtain access to my Google Calendar and Contacts but not to email. This is a clean installation on a brand new Windows 11 computer. I have reinstalled Thunderbird three times, deleted saved passwords, deleted only the SMTP and IMAP saved passwords (preserving OAuth2 passwords), deleted Thunderbird's access in Gmail security settings to force it to re-request access, followed every instruction on every forum and help page I can find, but Thunderbird refuses to send and receive mail. Thunderbird finds the correct configuration and sets it up (correct ports, IMAP, SMTP, correct servers, OAuth2, etc.) I used my Gmail address and the same password as I use for webmail.

I am presently using Outlook for Gmail because it connected immediately using the same credentials as I am trying with Thunderbird. When I delete access permission in Gmail security settings, then add Gmail to Thunderbird again, it prompts for access to Contacts and Calendar but not to mail (one time it flashed a screen saying it could not because Java is not enabled in my web browser--but Java is enabled on both my default browser, Edge, and on Chrome; the page that came up appears to be some internal browser in Thunderbird).

The attached images show the configurations for IMAP server, the SMTP server, and that the saved passwords contain two OAuth2 URLs, one for contacts and the other for the calendar, but nothing for mail.

I have been using Thunderbird for years, and have a massive archive of emails in it, would really like to use it as my email client rather than Outlook. Installation and configuration has never been this difficult. Does anybody have any thoughts on what to do next?

For some reason I now have multiple copies of empty sub-folders in the Deleted Folder of my Local Accounts. I have tried emptying the Deleted Folder and I have tried to manually delete the unwanted sub-folders within the Deleted Folder. I have also noted that one of the unwanted sub-folders has appeared elsewhere in a completely unrelated sub-folder.

How do I deal with this?

Menu item "Forward" is grayed out and unusable, but works in other parts of the gui.

I've circled the menu items I'm reporting.

Thanks

Hi, recently installed Thunderbird as sick of Goog ramming their data harvesting crap down my throat.

Thunderbird seems great so far but can't seem to find out how to archive email in the Android app? Neither left or right swipe does an archive and there's no button either. Have it working fine in the desktop app with the archive button.

Aware of the archive / All Mail scenario.

Thanks,

Paul.

Hi... i finally got to grips with tags. however, i did something that caused all the tags to appear at the bottom of the email/inbox list in blocks (still in date order though)... how can i get them back embedded in the main email/inbox list according to date received... this is what i mean by 'embedded'.... i hope this makes sense to someone? thanks in advance

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 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

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.
