Forum Bashkësie Thunderbird

Hello. I have been using Thunderbird for many years. Love it! Version now 128.2.3esr 64 bit. Have never had any problems, until now. I am showing 1 email in my in box which I cannot do anything with (I have received subsequent emails and can access them without any problems) I cannot open this one email, cannot delete it, move it, open in a new window. There are no options if I right click on the email. Any solutions, Thanks, Glen Hollis, Adelaide, South Australia

Thunderbird is getting in a tight loop when I try to print any email.

The hangup is occurring when I execute the print command. The basic dialog appears with the "Preparing Preview" message. The right side of the window appears with only "Print" and the separator line below it.

I must terminate the loop by running the System Monitor and kill the program. If I just close the dialog window, Thunderbird continues to run.

I don't know how to fix the problem. Any thoughts?

This is on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Details follow:

KDE Plasma Version 6.1.5

KDE Frameworks version 6.6.0 Qt Version 6.7.2 Kernel Version 6.10.9-1-default (64-bit) Graphics platform: Wayland

I have had the same problem with older versions of the system for at least a month.

My system is a white box with 16x AMD Ryzen 7 2700X Eight core processor and 16 gb of ram. I have an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 TI/PCIe/SSE2

A recent Windows update on my Dell laptop resulted in an unusable copy of Windows(thanks Microsoft). After much time and effort, Microsoft's only solution was to do a fresh install of Windows which we did. Of course all software and apps had to be reinstalled. I have used Thunderbird on this laptop for years successfully. I downloaded the most current verision of Thunderbird and installed it. I then attempted to add my email account. I entered my name, email account name, and password. Message came back, "Configuration found in Mozilla ISP database." Configuration shows Incoming: IMAP, SSL/TLS. Outgoing: SMTP, SSL/TLS. I then clicked on the "Done" box. Next an Xfinity window opens with my username. The next box says "Let's go". I clicked that box. A window pops open that says, "ACCESS DENIED, You don't have access "http://login.xfinity.com/login" on this server. I googled that line and found many responses. I tried many of the solutions shown to no avail. I then contacted Comcast/Xfinity. After hours on the phone and finally reaching Comcast Assurance Level 2, the agent and I tried various things and still to no avail. So, here I am. Anyone there have any ideas on how to proceed. Thanks to anyone who tries.

Thunderbird 128.2.2esr (64-bit) stopped sending emails. It receives OK. This happens in web.com who is my isp. The error message says "Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Domain Spoofing Prohibited. Please verify that your email address is correct in your account settings and try again." Do you have any idea what the problem is?

Basically, I'm trying to use Thunderbird to clear some space on my Gmail account. I'm using IMAP. However that just won't work (most of the time). If I archive emails to a local archive or move it to a local folder, a) nothing happens, b) the files are actually moved (and appear in the archive folders)... but the mails remain on the server when checking through Gmail itself. Also, the mails reappear after 10-20 minutes. c) mails are actually moved and they are removed from the server. Mostly it's a or b.

I have tried all deletion options... delete directly (doesn't appear to work), mark as deleted (won't free up space) or move to Trash. Depending on the folder it used to work for a short while, with the mails appearing in the trash folder, ready for deletion. But that stopped working again.

This is all super frustrating and I have no idea if this is a bug or expected behaviour.

I run Thunderbird on a PC, and, to free up space on Drive C:, I have moved the contents of the folder Thunderbird in Appdata to Drive D:. I then changed my Server Settings, in Thunderbird, from C: to D:, and note that any new mail is indeed now appearing there along with those already transferred. This move could save me a valuable 6 gig of space, and more in the future, however, I am unable to remove that original Thunderbird folder entirely, notably I am unable to remove the contents of the Profiles folder, as it is still linked to the application. Notably with cookies.sqlite, cookies.sqlite-shm, store.json, mozlz4, aborted-session-ping and many others, which I note some have continued to be updated. I have been unable to find any other settings in Thunderbird referring to Drive C:, other than those in Server Settings.

I could presume that if I installed another version of Thunderbird on Drive D: and maybe moved those existing contents of the Thunderbird folder on C: onto Drive D:, and made those numerous settings changes to the App it could work. But I ask is there an easier way to complete this move? How can I complete this transition of Thunderbird from Drive C: to Drive D:?

I had some email gmail updates I ignore cause 'm not in gmail (to my knowledge. I use local company (DRN) and Thunderbird / Mozilla. I'm not read techy and everything I click asks for a different password - which none of them word. I am ready to uninstall Thunderbird and go with gmail only. My time is as valluable as yours and I have spent half a day trying to get emails others have sent and I have not received.

I just finally got this put on my new computer and the whole format (arrangement) is not the way I originally had it set up. Need help with setting up how emails received and sent out. Thanks

I installed Thunderbird and typed in my Office 365 email information to connect my account. Thunderbird found the correct IMAP settings, which I verified on Microsoft's website. It proceeds to open a browser so I can authenticate my account. After that succeeds it starts downloading all of my messages & folders. I thought everything went fine until I attempted to send a message. I get the following error:

Login to server smtp.office365.com with username me@mydomain.com has failed.

It gives me the option to enter a new password, which doesn't make sense since it's oAuth2 but I created an app password to see if that would work, and it didn't. The only other options are cancel & retry which don't help either.

I thought maybe something went wrong with the authentication process so I uninstalled thunderbird and started again with the same results. I've tried many other server settings, but nothing works, so I'm here.

Current Settings:

Server Name: smtp.office365.com User Name: me@mydomain.com Authentication Method: oAuth2 Security: STARTTLS Port: 587

I've tried: Using Port 465 / SSL/TLS Using Port 465 / STARTLS Using Port 587 / SSL/TLS Changing Auth method to Normal Password and then using app-specific password. Uninstall / Resintsall

One final thing to note: I followed the same process with my fastmail.com account, which worked flawlessly. I can send & receive fine.

I have Thunderbird 128.2.2 installed on my desktop and 128.2.1 on my laptop. My laptop works fine with an Office 365 Outlook IMAP account and an Office 365 Outlook POP account. My desktop with 128.2.2 indicates "Authentication failure while connecting to server".

I downgraded my desktop to 128.2.1 and it works fine.

I assume there is a new bug in 128.2.2 that causes the problem.

I have been running Thunderbird for many years, currently on a Windows 10 PC, and always been pleased with its performance. Using it to monitor 5 email accounts, each on a separate folder. Recently I noticed that on three of the accounts extra folders are appearing named inbox-1, inbox-2, inbox-3... then inbox-5 appeared today. There is also inbox.msf.compact-backup and a couple of nstmp folders. They contain copies of all emails in the main inbox over differing periods but going back to 2016 when it was first loaded.

I assume this is something to do with compacting but why has it started it doing now and how do I get rid of these folders which are, presumably, duplicating all my messages and taking up disk space.

Hi,

When I create an event in Thunderbird Agenda, I add a description and I send the event to attendees. These attendees receive the invitation to the event, but the description is not showing.

What can I do?

Thanks!

Starting in the last month or so, when I login to my email account using Thunderbird I get a Filesystem notification initialization error asking me to check for configuration errors in the FAM/Gamin library. (Side note the error only stays as long as my mouse is hovering over it then it vanishes so I can't get a screenshot or copy and paste the text.) I am still able to send messages, receive new messages, and access saved messages in my local folders, so I am not sure what this error means.

I just got off the phone with my email service provider who confirmed that they are not seeing any issues on the server end, so It appears to be something on the Thunderbird client side. I tried clearing the startup cache and that did not resolve the issue.

Using version 115.15.0 (64-bit) on PureOS which is a variant of Debian. PureOS is designed for extra security so there is a delay between the release of new versions and the time that purism.com releases the update to PureOS. It may be I just have to wait for Purism to release version 128...

Thanks for any suggestions.

I see that part of whats new in this release FIXED = fixed

Some users were unable to log in to Microsoft 365

-However NOW with this version I cannot login.

Please advise

The configuration settings have not changed re: Authorization. Anyone else with this issue? TIA

I uninstalled thunderbird and when I try to reinstall it I get a "cannot find temp archive" message.

I've installed thunderbird for another user on the same computer and had no trouble.

Can anyone help me? Thanks so much.

I've been using Thunderbird for several years now without any issues, and I currently have the latest version installed. I typically have multiple email accounts logged in. Recently, I tried adding a Gmail account, but it wouldn’t log in, showing the error: "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username, or password."

I’ve tried the usual fixes like closing and reopening Thunderbird, clearing cache files, and even searching online for solutions. Based on what I found, I’ve tried turning off VPN/antivirus, changing the default browser, clearing browser data, and, finally, uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird after removing all my email accounts.

Now, I’m unable to log in to any of my accounts, which were working fine before. Can anyone guide me on how to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Folks,

As I said above, I just updated to Thunderbird version 128.2.1esr (64-bit) and seem to have lost a couple of functions, in particular the ability to make a new Tab, and the use of an extremely handy Add-on, Shrunked Image Resizer. I have Mac OS 12.7.6 and I noticed in the release notes for 128.2.1esr (64-bit) that this latest version's System Requirements are MacOS 10.15 or later. Does that mean that I should not have downloaded the latest version, and if so, how can I revert to an earlier version of TB that will allow me to use Tabs and Shrunked Image Resizer? I thought that Thunderbird was capable of recognizing which version of Mac OS I have and thus would not suggest I update to the latest version of TB if it won't work as it did with an earlier version of TB. I would be very grateful if you could suggest a solution to my problem.

Thanks, Chris O'Brien

Hi,

I use the latest Thunderbird email client 128.2.2esr (64-bit). Microsoft announced that to make it work with outlook all users have to make changes in settings for more security. I did all that they wrote and can receive emails on my .......@outlook.com email address, but I can't send emails due to absence of authentication setting for outgoing server. I attached screenshots FYI. Is it possible to fix this issue? It's required to add authentication setting for outgoing server.

Regards, Leonid.
