Used QR code from Thunderbird on Linux to set up account

Incoming email works but emails sent are not received.

SMTP settings seem to be correct compared to working desktop client.

I am using TB 128.4.3esr on Ubuntu 24.04 and mostly love it: thanks. However, I'm hitting a really irritating if erratic issue: TB often autofills an old address matching the first few letters I type for my addressee. It happens just rarely enough for me not to remember to check the autofill every time I start to address a new Email so I only get to know about it when the Email bounces, but it happens just often enough to be a real pain. I am 100% certain that it's not down to anything I am doing (the addressbook name and both the correct and incorrect addresses share the first say five letters and the autofill kicks in after about two I think). It happens for To: and Cc: fields, I don't know about Bcc: probably because I use bcc very rarely.

I have only noticed it happening with two different addressees (oddly my wife's and my daughter's) and I am pretty sure that of the fair number of old addresses for both of them it's only ever one of those that TB chooses. One byproduct (I assume as I think I had deleted these before) is that the dead address is added to the address book of sent addresses and that may be perpetuating the issue.

Please could we be able to select that TB only prompts with a preferred address for each addressbook entry or have a way to mark old addresses as dead. (I need to keep them to make it easier to find addresses that came from people at their old addresses.) I hope I haven't missed some option or setting that already does this.

TIA and thanks again for TB,

Chris

While I was looking at a sent message it disappeared. I got a message that is was being ignored. When I pressed a box with "Make it appear again" is disappeared totally.

Nachdem ich mein gmx-postfach aufgerufen hatte, tauchen plötzlich bei Thunderbird mails auf,die völlig veraltet sind, aber unter heutigem Datum und Uhrzeit geführt werden.!! Ich wurde heute sogar von einem Absender angerufen, dass ich einen Termin angefragt hätte, den ich aber längst wahrgenommen habe!! Wie kann das sein?? Seltsamerweise tauchen diese "fake-mails " auch im gmx-postfach auf. Ich bin sowieso schon lange verwundert, warum der von mir schon lange gekündigte Vertrag mit 1&1 (gmx) es möglich macht, dass ich bei dort noch immer ein Postfach habe (die alte email-Adresse >>holback@gmx.de<< verwende ich zwar noch).

I've had an outlook account on Thunderbird for years but I now have an issue with sending mail . Incoming mail is OK. I just get incorrect password message. I know password is good as I have reset it online (microsoft 365 account0 and have logged in OK to outlook mail online . I also have the account working OK on iPhone. I'm sort of at my wits end here. Have tried different SMTP server settings. Any help would be appreciated Reade H iMac running 12.6.2 Monterey

I already tried putting Thunderbird as a shortcut into the C:\Users\<myAccountName>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo (aka. shell:SendTo) folder. But when I use the "Sent to" menu and select Thunderbird, the file to be attached just gets openned by Windows as if I had double-clicked on it. Thunderbird does not even open a new message.

I also tried changing the call of the Thunderbird shortcut in the SendTo folder to: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -compose attachment= At least, then Thunderbird opens a new message. But it just writes the path\filename of the file to attach into the attachment section. When I then try to send the message, Thunderbird says it cannot access it under this path.

How are you doing this? Thanks!

Regular emails go fine. When I add attachment it says it goes but doesn't even though in sent folder. I go into sent folder and send as a forward and it goes fine. Using webmail works fine but I prefer thunderbird. Have been using it for at least 10 years. At the present time I have to send w/attachment twice and then ask the recipients if they got it. Lot of extra work. Help!

Hello ; I planed 3 days ago to empty my spams and by mistake I deleted all the content (all the e-mails) of the file Deleted (the dust-bin, or Trash, I don't know the word in English) as I clicked "empty Deleted" ; is there a way to restore those e-mails of the Deleted file that I emptied by mystake ? Thank you !
