I can't find any reference to this and have stopped using one of my email accounts...and need to have outbound invites go through another one. I thought changing the "default" email address (which I've done successfully I believe) would do the trick but it doesn't. Thoughts?

Thunderbird stopped working on my old Mac Mini (2014). I bought another used Mac Mini (2018), running on Sequoia 15.3, and hoped to install Thunderbird on it, but so far I can't. When I try to set it up, it says my account is recognized, but when I click done, I get the message "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." I suspect it's the configuration. I tried my old Mozilla password, when that didn't work, I created a new one, but that didn't work for Thunderbird either.

My email comes from my ISP — AT&T — whose email service is powered by Yahoo. When Thunderbird stopped working on my old computer. I started using MyYahoo email (same email address), but I'd prefer going back to Thunderbird, which is much better for archiving and directing incoming email to folders I create.

Please help.

Program keeps crashing on startup. This has been happening for a week or so but it would load second time. Now won't load up at all. I have reinstalled but to no avail

I'm on Thunderbird (128.6.0esr (64-bit)) on Fedora/GNOME. I've noticed, that whenever I launch Thunderbird, it takes several minutes (!) where it says "Connecting to mail.myserver.com" in status. I'm using my own postfix/dovecot server with imap and I don't have this problem on Thunderbird Windows for instance, where it connects right away on startup. After the initial slow connection, it works just fine, when I manually trigger to scan for new messages (instantly). I tried literally any option within Thunderbird to fix that, without any success. It seems to be some trouble with resolving / dns or probably ip6/ip4, but then again, why would it work normally after the long connection time in the beginning? Any clue what might be the problem here?

ThunderBird for Linux crashes down automatically every 5 minutes since the last update. Every time I log into my account, about 5 minutes later, I see from the monitoring terminal that ThunderBird's temporary memory usage suddenly soars to over 90%, and then the entire program becomes unresponsive and must be closed and logged in again. But after that, this situation keeps repeating, and it is impossible to use it. Can anyone help? Thanks!

Hi

Long-term Thunderbird user and in the past couple of months Thunderbird on my PC on connecting to my mail server goes to a time out (about a minute?) before then downloading new messages. Connecting from my laptop is instant.

The PC - which is relatively new - performs well otherwise.

Checked settings on both and they are identical, save for the laptop.being 64-bit and the PC 32-bit versions.

Any ideas for me to try?

Many thanks

I have two email accounts. One is about 2% of my email sending and one is 98% of my email sending. One of them is the default choice when I create a new message to send. Guess which one is the default?

How the absolute F do I get TB to re-order these so that I am not sending so many messages from the wrong address?

Do I need to set up a completely different profile for TB and only launch into that when I am going to send from the lesser-used account? What the heck do I have to do?

I am locked out of my account because I get the message "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Thunderbird. Do you want to reboot?" I then reboot and get the same message when I try accessing Thunderbird. I tried uninstalling but I get that same message. I installed the latest version anyways and it works until I close it and then try to reopen it and I get the same message. Any ideas?

I am running Thunderbird 128 (any version) on a Surface Pro 9 running Windows 11. After sleep/hibernate or going into energy-saving mode, TB hangs for a period of minutes. Eventually it comes back, but it can take 5-10 minutes.

I do not have this problem with TB 115 on the same machine, or TB 128 on other machines (e.g. running Windows 10 or Ubuntu). TB 115 on the same machine can take a few seconds to come back (longer than on my other machines), but that s OK.

I have the same expereince whether or not I am troubleshoot mode. I have created a new profile with no add-ons (and less acounts) and I have the same problem. I was wondering if it is something to do with the fact that I have 8000 folders, and somehow TB is hanging while it checks all the folders. That account is a fastmail IMAP connection, but I have experienced similar on a backup Microsoft Exchange account (again an IMAP connection) with similar number of folders.

Any help would be appreciated.

I've had thunderbird for years, for the task component. It's wonderful. I got a new computer, but now have lost all my recurring tasks. I saved the profile on our network but cannot locate where to put in the path so import the task file into thunderbird. I did not find it in the community forums; so I must not be asking the question right. Any assistance is helpful.

Thank you

Can you tell me if it is possible to set up communication in Thunderbird “Chat” using a local network, for example, in an office?

Could you please give me some brief instructions on how to do this?

In my TB128.7.0esr I have a Profile with several IMAP-accounts all residing on the same IMAP-server.

For ONE of the accounts, when I do a move (drag-and-drop) of an eMail from A to B (ex: from Inbox to Folder or from folder to Inbox or .....) - in Thunderbird the eMail becomes available in the target, and is removed from the source - on the Server directories the eMail stays in the source and is as well in the target and this until I do a compact or until I close Thunderbird

For OTHER accounts everything happens immediately !

I couldn't find any setting that might imply this kind of behaviour

And yes, I checked, the icon during the drag-and-drop, it doesn't have the +sign on it, so it's NOT a copy

Any ideas what might be going on ?

My Outlook account has folders that are archived on Microsoft server. I cannot access them from Thunderbird. How do I import these folders? I do not want to re-create them again in Thunderbird if possible.

I installed Thunderbird last night. The release is

Once I got Thunderbird installed only the default account (the first one I added to Thunderbird) was on the right hand pane. I have set up 4 accounts and I cannot get to any of them. I Googled and tried all suggestions which seem possible.

Can anyone help me find my other accounts?

I have two profiles in my Thunderbird account. I want to create desktop shortcut for each profile. That way I can use the shortcut to get my email. On on profile I just want it to go straight to that account without asking for a password. On the other one I want it to ask me for a password. Is that possible and if so how can I do that?
