Diễn đàn hỗ trợ Thunderbird

Hello,

Recently, I set up two-step verification on my Microsoft account. Since my e-mail server is not connected to Microsoft, I was able to continue using Thunderbird without issue. However, after having signed in to my Xbox account after not accessing it for several months, I became unable to login to my e-mail server, as it failed to accept my password or any other I put in.

After searching for solutions, the general consensus I found was that Thunderbird was attempting to connect to Microsoft's servers, but couldn't because its authentication method was set to 'Normal Password'. I've tried changing my authentication method, but changing my authentication method to anything other than 'Normal Password' gives me a 'Your e-mail provider does not support this authentication method' message.

I've had this problem before (see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1432194), which happened after I set up two-step verification initially, but i don't know how I solved the problem before, and obviously it wasn't a permanent solution.

What I find strange is that, since I don't use an Outlook account, this issue either shouldn't be happening at all, or I shouldn't have been able to regain access in the first place.

I'm not sure what to do next. Since my provider apparently doesn't support OAuth2, is there anything I can do about this, or am I pretty much sunk? Any help would be appreciated.

Specs: E-mail provider: Spectrum (Listed as "Roadrunner/TWC") E-mail server: mail.twc.com, IMAP, SSL/TLS, Port 993, Normal Password Outgoing server: mail.twc.com, IMAP, STARTTLS, Port 587, Normal Password ISP Provider: Charter Communications OS: Windows 10 Thunderbird version: 128

Thanks in advance.

When I reply to an email, and I select a line from the senders email that I am responding to, I cannot find how to tell Thunderbird to insert a comment like " TK> " like in Outlook. Can I do that, or is there an add-in that lets me do that?

The Reply command no longer shows when I want to send an email back to the person that sent it. There is a note at the bottom of the email that says: A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and setting from identity Vince Hunter < omni232@telus.net> Can you give me instructions in laymans terms to fix this bug and return it back to the way it was?

I NEVER use threads but somehow recent folders I create in my local folder for archiving off the imap cloud now automatically are threaded even though in my selected columns to display the thread option is not activated. It seems that a recent updated added this function to new folders I create. How do I turn it off? Thank you.

On Dec 3 2024 imap.comcast.net deleted my Inbox and all it's subfolders for some unknown reason. It was never fully recovered, but most of the sub folders were recovered and exist at imap.comcast.net with the original content. Thunderbird does not show these sub folders under it's Inbox, any idea why? Anyway, since then, thunderbird Inbox will not allow me to create a folder that has a name listed in the imap.comcast.net list of sub folders. any idea why that is. Thank you for any help you may offer. Peter

I have used Thunderbird for years. I just got an equipment upgrade from my isp. After the upgrade I can send emails via thunderbird but not receive (unable to login at server). I can still access email via a webmail browser. I have tried deleting and reinstalling thunderbird, checked the settings multiple times, and changing some value to true (some post I found here on the forums). Any ideas?

Is there someway to synch iPhone Reminders with Thunderbird Tasks? I was able to synch email accounts and calendars easily. Reminders initially were presented as Calendars but to not display any content (even in Calendars). Ideally, I'd like to have Reminders on my Apple mobile devices synch with Thunderbird on my Windows desktop.

I recently noticed that all my emails from August 2023 through March 2024 have disappeared. They are missing from all folders - Inbox, Sent, Trash, all folders including everything in pop, imap accounts, and all local folders. Messages from before 8/2023 and after 3/2024 are all there. I noticed that there is a folder in Program Data called Mozilla-1de4eec8-1241-4177-a864-e594e8d1fb38. In that folder is a subfolder updates > 308046B0AF4A39CB > backgroundupdate which is dated August 15, 2023. This is the exact date that is the start of my missing emails. Could an update have caused my problem? If so, is there a remedy? Thunderbird 128.5.2esr, Windows 11 Home 24H2 build 21600.2605

Recently I sent several emails to others who have gmail accounts. I discovered that they did not receive them when I checked with them by phone. This happened on Dec. 26th. Also, in my address book view, all my sub-address books disappeared. I can still access the groups when I identify them in the address line, but I can no longer see them in the address box.

For quite a while now, almost a year, when I delete an email, it deletes more emails than the one I was deleting. Why is this happening? They are going from my inbox to my Trash folder. Sometimes I loose an important email without realizing it. This happens on both of my computers, my desktop and my laptop. How do I fix this? Hope you can help and Thank you. Mark D.

I am preparing for a transit from MS and Outlook to Linux and Thunderbird. My outlook is set up in a way that all pop-3 accounts are in one PST file. I have almost no experience with Thunderbird, though I have set up Thunderbird on a test laptop and created one account as IMAP to test. this works nicely. I want to cancel my MS office subscription to not being forced into windows 11 in 2025! Office libre does the rest of the office app job.

BUT Outlook seems a different beast. Now, for the transition form Outlook to Thunderbird I will need to move over all PST files (the current one and all archives):

How can I import a PST file (which contains data of several e-mail accounts) into Thunderbird.

Does that work at all? If so, (I hope) how do I need to set up Thunderbird with all the accounts which are in the PST? What are the pitfalls? Should I use an automated (software solution) to be on the safe side or just not to not screw up?

Thanks a million for your tips and help

My Thunderbird had an automatic upgrade this week to 128.5.1esr 32Bit. Since then, I have not been able to pull down email for any of my accounts. When attempting to pull email from remote servers, the Thunderbird status message is "Checking server capabilities ....". This has gone for hours with no change, or the attempt just stops with no status update and no emails. This occurs regardless of VPN usage. What happened and how do I fix this ?!?!?

My inbox is showing as 96% full but there are only a couple of emails in it. It's acting like I have never deleted them even though I have & do. Yesterday it said 92% full. Sometimes the folders below it, sent, junk, deleted etc show as 96% full also, other times they don't. I have compacted the folders but each day it just gets more full. Please, how can I fix this issue? And please be specific, I'm not overly computer literate. Thank you. Jo

all of a sudden Thunderbird is just giving a message that says the server is reset and it won't connect. Nothing has been changed. This situation just started. I have made no changes.

When a reminder comes up on mine. There is a blank spot where I would think it would give what the reminder was.. So this box comes up with the reminder, the heading is there but underneath where i would think exactly what the reminder was about, is a blank area. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere or something? thanks I can't do a screen shot that would help if the reminder hasn't come up
