Thunderbird Community Forum

My email provider currently has an invalid SMTP certificate, so I can't send or receive any messages. Annoyingly, it also seems to prevent me saving the message I just wrote into the Drafts folder. Why?

"Your draft message was not copied to your drafts folder (Drafts) due to network or file access errors. You can retry or save the draft locally to Local Folders/Drafts-sundry@dtu.net.nz."

Good morning, everyone. I am desperately looking for a way to recover email messages exported using the IMPORTEXPORTTOOLS NG plugin. The files date back to 2007 and were exported into a Zip file. I am unable to import them with the current version of the plugin.

Thank you to anyone who can help me.bold text

I created a 2nd account years ago and it has worked since then. Now when I create a third account, it works well but when I disconnect I loose the account and have to recreate it again. How come?

Open Settings

General/system Integration

click on check now (to see if Thunderbird beta is trh default mail client on startup)

No boxes are ticked (mail, newsgroups,feeds,calendar)

I tick the Email box and then click 'Set as default'

This closes thar box I then click on 'Check Now'....the ticked Email has unticked itself.

Note: I go to menu and access 'Preferred Applications' .....Thunderbird does not appear as a choice for 'Mail' It also does not appear in the Menu. I do not know how to make that happen

I found several unread emails in my Spam folder (without that folder indicating anything was in it), yet "Enable adaptive junk mail controls for this account" is NOT set. How do I ensure that NO email gets put in the Spam folder automatically?

Also, what is the difference between what you call Junk vs Spam? I see no Junk folder.

I cannot receive or send emails from my laptop but I can on my phone..

I have rung optus and they seem to think that its thunderbird not working porperly as they have checked everything at optus and its all working well..

Hello, could I ask how to to install the latest version of Thunderbird as I uninstalled to update, as a monthly donator a new download asked for donation of $15 which I payed and still cannot get a download to install. Regards Lloyd.

I’m running Thunderbird 128.6.0esr (64-bit). I’m trying to export my address book in csv format. I tried to follow these instructions: Start Thunderbird In Address Books Select address book (not 'All Address Books' as it is a virtual search and not a true address book) Tools > Export Choose where to save Save as either: Comma Separated *csv files OR LDIF Click on 'SAve' However, I not finding the option to save as *.csv file. I get abook.sqlite file, but I can’t open file. What app do I use to open file so I can get a *csv file to I can export to use in Outlook. Thanks, John

This article describes the issue but there is no resolution that works in all cases https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1323864

In my situation I have a work account that uses gmail as the mail server. every time I open TB I get this message popping up.

I have disabled all fetching of email and notifications of incoming mail and deleted related passwords.

Is there any way to fully disable an account without deleting it?

I didn't know there was a non-ESR version of Thunderbird until I found out by chance a few days ago! Since the latest update to ESR 128.5.2 has crashed 11 times this week, I would like to move to the latest version (64 bit?) non-ESR. There must surely be an official Mozilla step-by-step guide to doing this?

Hi,After many years of excellent use, thunderbird keeps crashing just recently with a "I'm sorry" popup. I seem to get about 20-30 secs of use each time I click to open it again. It receives emails and send them (provided I am super quick) and crashes. I would put myself in the low PC literacy camp as well and truly retired. ta david

Hello - Some years ago I had old Emails recovered by the support team which were indeed fully deleted in all folders of T'bird. They directed me to the online version to achieve the recovery and it worked well. I am need again and cannot locate those instructions. To be clear, the procedure was from the support team guiding the way. Anyone have possession of these instructions or algorithm, or a better method that still works? Many thanks :)

I need help with my Thunderbird email. It stopped working. I was given a complicated solution to fix it that I wasen`t able to do. I`m 83 and this is getting too complicated for me. Can one of you get into my program and fix it.? wolfy@bellsouth.net Ralph Toler

No one has replied to any reports I have submitted about the Thunderbird Crash. Internet rumors are saying that Mozilla has abandoned THUNDERBIRD for something else. I want my email to function like it had before.

I had to reinstall thunderbird on my pc, before the install, if I erased an email on my phone it was erased from thunderbird, that no longer happens and I would like to reestablish this relationship ship. My email is a comcast account
