Thunderbird Community Forum

my husband who was our computer guru passed away 3 months ago. While he was in the ICU I received a message that said

"The certificate for mail.pdq.act is not valid for that server. Someone could be trying to impersonate the server and you should not continue".   

My husband and I had separate computers but we shared the same email account -- pharding@pdq.net Ever since I received that message, no new emails have come through my computer and I can't send any messages from my computer. My grandson tried to reinstall Thunderbird on my computer but that didn't help. Everything is working fine on husband's computer. I compared settings on my computer with husband's computer and the only difference I can find is that on husband's computer the Server Name is securemailrisebroadband.net while on my computer it is mail.pdq.net What do I do? Should I change the server on my computer to securemailrisebroadband.net  ???

I keep getting a warning...Unable to write the email to the mailbox. Make sure the file system allows you write privileges, and you have enough disk space to copy the mailbox. I have no idea why it started or what that means. Help please?! Now I cannot even write an email. It's like it signed me out?

Windows 11 128.4.3 (64 bit)

When I used to empty Junk (and compact) & Trash, I would then File / Compact Folders that would show how much space I was saving - I do not see how much space I am saving now for the past couple of months.

Did a Setting get changed ???

Occasionally I attempt to access a web site and the system asks if I want to sign in with e.g. b2clogin.com I really dont want this and would pfrefer to sign in with my email and password. Any help much appreciated!

Calendar data is correct in preview, but incorrect when editing

The dates in the preview (when I move the mouse over the calendar entry) are always correct. However, they differ from the entry when I click on Edit.

But it works for me when I delete cache.sqlite. However, I then delete the newer entry (which is displayed correctly in the preview).

Any ideas? Where does the preview data come from? Obviously from a different source than the data displayed in the edit view?

For a short while now all my received emails have extended line spacing resulting in excessive white space. I've not knowingly done anything to cause this. Is this something I can put right and how do I go about it?

I'm using the latest version of TB: 128.4.3esr (32-bit) . . . But, I think I have noticed this on previous versions, also.

I like to Disallow Remote content from loading, for security purposes, and then to select to Allow it or not.

But I notice that if Remote content is Disallowed, when I click to delete the email, sometimes it works as expected, and sometimes it does not. The problem is, it's like it deletes it, but then another copy of the email appears. It will not delete. I have to hit Escape, and then delete it in the list. Then that does nothing. I have to close and re-open TB to see that the email is gone.

This is in contrast to how if I just Allow Remote content, deleting an email always works as expected, but then there is the security risk.

If you get a lot of emails you don't want, it's nice to be able to delete them quickly.

What is hanging it up, if you Disallow Remote content?

I have tried Deleting smart mailboxes and virtualFolders.dat . . . This didn't do anything

I'm finding threads that include the correct emails for the subject, but also additional emails that do NOT relate to the original subject. How do I pull the other "subjects" from being in the wrong thread and create their own thread. See the highlighted emails in the attached image. Each color represents a separate thread that should stand on its own.

Thanks.

Why would we suddenly stop receiving emails on ALL our thunderbird emails at 300 pm 11/20/24? Some get message local network down. Can send test and that goes through but outside vendors not receiving. How do we troubleshoot? need help because do not know where to look

In our company we have many clients which are using Thunderbird to send and recieve there Emails. We create a new Newsgroup and smtp with the same settings for all. There is one Client with the issue of losing all configuration set. It happens one time per month. The newsgroup, smtp settings and so on are lost AND i don't know why. All the others don't have this issue.

Do you guys have any ideas why this could happen? I am a little bit frustrated...

Greetings from Robin

good day First I was informed to empty my mailbox, I have already deleted about 400 emails from a folder. Hold down Ctrl, e.g. select 27 emails, right click, trash can symbol - 27 emails deleted. If I continue to do this, only the bottom of the selected emails will be deleted. Deleting another 600 emails in this way would take the whole day. What is the reason for this, how can I fix the problem?

Is there no way to stop thunderbird from constantly asking for pw? None of the posted suggestions work. In addition, oassword manager saves some in the wrong format - stmp/ instead of imap/

Any ideas are welcome before I am forced out of thunderbird.

Hello. A few months ago, folk on here kindly helped me fix my connection to Outlook accounts. But, suddenly, things have gone wrong... though I have done nothing with any settings. I get the message: "You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site." If I click on "Get Certificate", nothing happens. If I remove ".587" from the field, I get "Peer's Certificate is not recognised". But I can't get or send any emails. Does anyone have any suggestions, please? Thanks!
