I've been using Thunderbird to handle my email accounts for a long time (years). My Gmail connection was misbehaving, so I deleted the account on Thunderbird, verified that everything was still there by using the google.com/gmail interface (which works fine), then tried to recreate (reconnect) the Gmail account in Thunderbird. Followed the routine "Set Up Another Account", "Email", entered a name, gmail address, and password, then "Continue". Thunderbird looks up a configuration, finds Gmail, and it all looks normal. Checking in "Configure manually", OAuth2 is there. Click "Done", and it begins "Checking password", and never comes back.........

I know the Gmail account and password are valid, because I can get mail directly from Google.....

I'm at a loss...any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,

I have been using Thunderbird 091 and 102 version to send out digital signed Emails with the help of a pki usb token. Lately, I have downloaded the newer version 128 and to perform the same task by using the same token with the same certificates in, however it failed to do so by showing up an error message when I tried to send out the digital signed Emails. The error message indicates that the signing certificate can't be found or expired, but nothing has been changed except for the newer version of the thunderbird.

Please let me know how can I fix the issue.

Thank you!

unable to shift from 'show unread' to inbox. I quit TB to see if it was a temporary prob, but no change. Sidebar shows 168 in inbox. But at bottom of sidebar under unread folders shows 8. If not showing unread, but all messages, the larger number is prob accurate. Clicking on inbox does nothing.

I've just returned to TB after a few month break on Apple mail. I've always preffered TB, but things seemed to disappear, so I switched. But eventually Apple mail had at least as many probs, and I prefer TB. Hope you can help. thx.

HELP! This new version installed today, and Thunderbird suddenly stopped running and no longer runs. I get the message: "A newer version of Thunderbird may have made changes to your profile which are no longer compatible with this older version. Use this profile only with that newer version, or create a new profile for this installation of Thunderbird. Creating a new profile requires setting up your accounts, calendars and add-ons again."

The message seems erroneous because it is running the newest version. Should I step back a version? If so, how do I do that?

Thanks!

I've been using Thunderbird on my Mac for 15 years now. Never had any issues with it. Love it. My wife has been using it on her Mac for the last decade. Again, no issues.

Two weeks ago, Thunderbird was working perfectly on both our laptops. However, overnight, we both started having issues sending emails. Any email to anyone now takes over one minute to send. It is painfully slow.

Receiving emails? No problem. No problems with anything else. Only sending.

Specifically, it's sending it from our Bell email accounts (we live in Canada and use Bell for our Internet needs).

I have a second account using a different domain, and that one has no issues sending. Also, when I send an email using Bell's internet browser portal, it sends instantly. So there's clearly a communication issue between Thunderbird and Bell at this point.

When this problem happened, Bell sent us a text telling us that our 1 GB Internet speed will now increase to 3 GB. That's when our email sending problems happened.

I just spoke with Bell, and they assured me that nothing changed on their end. It's too much of a coincidence to think that they have nothing to do with this. However, after speaking with the tech, I'm wondering if for some reason Thunderbird has difficulties connecting to the 3 GB servers on Bell's end. The reason I'm suggesting this is that my laptop still shows 1 GB per second download speed. However, the modem shows 3 GB. The tech suggested that our laptops can't take in more than 1.5 GB. So it's bottlenecked on our computers' end.

It's possible that Thunderbird also has a bottleneck issue because they can't negotiate the 3 GB Bell servers.

In the past two weeks, I have downloaded the three different updates Thunderbird had to offer. However, we have left my wife's Thunderbird active version it when this problem started. As a comparison. No change on either system. We are both running M2 and M3 MacBook pros, so there's no chance of it being a hardware issue on this end. And again, this problem happened literally overnight.

Help?

I started facing a problem when sending emails to a group (example: group@gmail.com) of which I am also a member.

When group members receive the email, in the "From" or "Correspondent" column, the sender appears as "group name", not my name, as it should. This is causing confusion for recipients.

However, I noticed that the behavior is different if:

I send the email directly to one person and CC the group. In this case, my name appears correctly as the sender. I send emails to individual people. In these cases, the problem does not occur. I have already checked the account settings and the sender name is configured correctly. Furthermore, in Gmail's web interface, everything works as expected.

I would like to know:

Is there some additional setting in Thunderbird that could fix this? Is there a known solution or do I need to wait for a fix in a future update?

Thank you in advance for your help!

I have a Word doc: This PC > Documents > Working > Demo > MyWordDoc.docx

I use Windows Explorer to navigate to This PC > Documents > Working > Demo

I highlight the file and choose SendTo and select Thunderbird

A Thunderbird message is created: - there is an attachment c:\Users\User\Documents\Working\Demo\MyWordDoc.docx - in the message the attachment's size appears as 0 bytes - see Fig 1

When I attempt to send the message I get an error saying "There was an error attaching . . . . Please check that you have access to the file."

Taking another approach I create a new message in Thunderbird

From the message screen I add the attachment This PC > Documents > Working > Demo > MyWordDoc.docx - there is an attachment MyWordDoc.docx (note there is no path prior to the filename) - in the message the attachment's size appears as 11.9 KB - see Fig 3

I can send this message (and its attachment) successfully.

These seems to have started in the beginning of November - I don't use SendTo every day so it is difficult to pinpoint exactly when it began.

Thunderbird 128.5.0 (64 bit) - I upgraded to latest version before posting this Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19045 - Updates are current


Why cannot I use SendTo to create a message with an attachment?

I have Moz on two separate machines; one a Lenovo laptop Win10, the other a Lenovo desk top Win8. My message filters have stopped working. I can't tell if it's all or some, as I have 30 or more on each one. All I know is, my inbox is full of spam and messages supposed to be auto-moved to sub folders are still present. Furthermore when troubleshooting this, manually running both existing and new filters simply does nothing.
