I currently use Thunderbird and have for many years. I've had the same e-mail provider for just as many years, but they are going out of business Dec. 01,2024. I have opened an Outlook account, and synced it with my current e-mail, but cannot access my files in Thunderbird. MANY important files. Can I simply switch my provider to Thunderbird when my current e-mail provider closes? I would much rather continue to use T-Bird as I have been. I am also synched to my G-Mail in Outlook, but prefer to use the Outlook.com e-mail in Thunderbird. Thanks for your time and assistance. safeharbor@lighthouse.net

I tried all the suggestions online. I uninstalled, restarted my computer and re-installed but it just picked up where it left off including the pop3 email showing in troubleshooting mode which was an accident and I was receiving an error on so I selected not to check emails for it. The addresses WERE appearing at first, but now they have all gone away. I believe there was an update.

I am unable to send any messages. Getting this error message - An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Resources restricted from 69.115.218.69 - try again later (AA,31).

It will list whatever address I am sending to or one off of a group. If I delete the one address it lists out of a group I get the same message with a new address cited.

Any suggestions?

While cleaning up email to get rid of the large amount of junk I sort by correspondent. This allows me to select several of the mostly junk emails together to delete them. I highlight the first email I want to delete, go to the last one and hit shift and click. Sometimes that can be over a hundred or so emails to delete at once. After selecting delete, sometimes they don't all delete. The email is no longer bolded as though I had read it, but only a portion of the selected actually delete. It sometimes takes 2, 3 or more times of selecting them to get them to all delete. This has just been recently, within the past few months that I have noticed this. Not a terrible problem, but curious as to why this happens.

I had been happily using Tbird for many years. In mid February, when I tried to open my inbox, the message was "inbox in use for some other operation". If it was in use, I did not know about it. Then the message changed to "Thunderbird has crashed". I tried again many times over a few months but got the same results. I've just about been coping using webmail but with much grinding of teeth. Today when I tried again, there was no message and no inbox. I've also tried opening a 2nd Tbird account but got nowhere. Does anyone have any suggestions please? Thanks, Richard>

Ive recently started using Thunderbird and its setup with my Gmail account.

When i try and search from the search bar, on outlook i used to be able to search within the PDF document so if i had alot of invoices with the same product on it say 'TBA123' as the product code it would bring all the documents with that in the PDF, is this something that should work on Thunderbird?

Dear Support,

I am experiencing an issue with my PEC mailbox configured in Thunderbird. In the sender column, an incorrect email address often appears, unrelated to the actual sender of the received email. In some cases, I see the phrase "on behalf of:" followed by an email address that has no connection to the message in question.

This issue makes it difficult to correctly identify the real sender of emails. I have already checked my account configuration and updated Thunderbird to the latest version, but the problem persists.

Could you please provide guidance on how to resolve this behavior?

I am available to provide further details or screenshots of the issue if needed.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

TB stopped downloading emails from the Yahoo server. I still could send emails. I moved all emails from all TB folders (Inbox, trash, etc) to Local folders, deleted the profile. Redid the profile. Now TB still doesn't download emails. I get the message "The account xxxx@verizon.net is being processed. Please wait until processing is complete to get messages." AND now I can't send emails either.

My email hosting provider is is using mailchannels spam filter for outbound email, and after I switched from K9 to Thunderbird (Android) all my outgoing emails are being marked as spam and blocked. I have a ongoing case logged with them but checking if any one has any advice or has similar issues?

Note k9 works fine, I'm guessing they are confused with headers from PC vs mobile version

I had had issues with gloda (search) for a long while. I have tried deleting the sqlite file to force a reindex as per the guidance. I am watching Activity Monitor in TB after reopening, to monitor the reindex process. But it hangs every time. it goes through sent items and seems to get stuck at one point every time. See image below, it's been sat like that for an hour or more now. Any ideas? thanks (Image uploader doesn't seem to be working on this board, so here's the screenshot: https://ibb.co/8MjfKRW)

I am using a Mac with Big Sur (macOS Monterey Version 12.7.6), and my email is POP, using Thunderbird Version 128.4.2esr. My incoming messages are sorted in reverse order so that the latest message is listed first. I retrieve the message headers first then I either delete the message or download the contents of the message. The problem is that when I click on the download instructions Thunderbird does download the message OK, '''BUT it highlights the message just downloaded and it jumps to the next message. '''This is very annoying because in order to read the contents of the message I have to go back one message and purposely select the message just downloaded. It did not do this previously. Please correct or tell me the corrective action I should take.

Hi

I have for many years moved relevant email messages from my inbox to an archive folder. My wife who also uses Thunderbird does the same.

Some time in the not too distant past Thunderbird has started preventing me from moving files from folder to folder.

I am running the latest version of Thunderbird.

Any help gratefully received

Many thanks
