Since moving to Windows 11 and reinstalling Thunderbird, I cannot access emails by this route. I have a domain hosted by Easily and can get to my emails directly through their Control Panel, but using the same email, password, ports etc through TB it fails to find the account. I have rechecked all the settings with Easily and tried several times entering them manually in TB, with the same result. What else can I do?

For some reason, I was obliged to change the password on one of my external email box. I made a mistake creating a new mail box in Thunderbird with the same name and the new password, instead of just informing the new password on the existing mail box. I have now two mailboxes with the same name in Thunderbird. One is enough, but I can't find the way to remove / cancel the second one...

Thank you for your help

Hi I've just realised that Thunderbird has been deleting inbox messages from server with IMAP server setting. Is there any way how to turn this off? I would expect this to happen with POP but not with IMAP. Cheers Mike

Hi all,

I just set up an email account with POP3 at Thunderbird and enabled leaving messages on the server for, say, 30 days. But if I enable this, all messages stay on the server. I have tried this using my Gmail account, Office365 account, and another provider's email account, but the result is still the same. Do you have any suggestions for this case? Or am I missing any setting?

The reason I need this feature is because I use an email provider with a 2 GB email space limit. I want only the past 30 days of messages that are still on the server to avoid email space being full, meanwhile 30 days at the server to allow user still able to read the past 30 days of email from their mobile phone or web.

My first support request about this was posted on Mon, Nov 18 (8:53 a.m.). I never got a response--probably my fault for posting a minor correction which may have caused everyone else to think someone knowledgeable had responded. I apologize for starting a new thread, but it’s been almost a week now and I really need help. The situation: I get my email via POP, and something got corrupted as a result of doing a backup of TB on Nov 15 using MozBackup. Following advice by Toad-Hall on 11/7/23 to a similar support request, in Troubleshooting Information, inside Profile folder, then in Mail, then in the folder for my server, I renamed “Inbox” as “OldInbox.” A new Inbox and new Inbox.msf got created in Mail > 'my-server.' The new Inbox is 0 KB and is dated to the Nov 14, the evening before I did the MozBackup. The date on the new Inbox.msf keeps advancing. There’s a OldInbox.msf file too, with date that keeps advancing. The new Inbox.msf file doesn’t work or isn’t getting used or some such. When I open TB, Inbox still shows the same old list of emails (now inaccessible) that used to be there and that are now accessible in the folder OldInbox. I still get the error message when I try to Get Messages. TB is still not downloading emails from the mail server. How do I get a functioning Inbox?

I have the latest version of TB and Windows 11. I cannot edit contacts in either Cardbook or Address Book. In addressbook there are Edit and Delete tabs, but neither work. I have checked permisssions, and nont denied. I have disabled and reenabled Cardbook. Neither helps. Edits made in my gmail contacts are synchronized. It seems I am missing some simple answer, but ----? Your help will be appreciated. John

I read on the internet that if I go to Mail then the body of the email should be available when blank in above subject files/folders. This does work, but it has only just started happening. Internet information says due to out of date apps, does this mean Thunderbird is out of date and needs updating because usually the updates are automatic? Or does Thunderbird need to look at the problem and fix, I shouldn't have to go to Mail each time an email body is blank. Not all emails are blank. Appreciate your assistance.

Can this be doctored to send via Thunderbird? If so pointers would be apreciated! Sub FredWeeklyReport() Dim OutApp As Object

   Dim OutMail As Object
   Dim MyAddress As String
   Dim MyAddress2 As String
   Dim Response
   Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
   Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)

   On Error Resume Next
   
   Response = MsgBox("Fred. Hide all invoices, check worksheet is up to date", vbOKCancel)
   If Response = vbCancel Then GoTo ExitLable
   'Worksheets("Sheet19").Visible = False
   MyAddress = Sheets("Work summary").Range("Eddress1").Value
   MyAddress2 = Sheets("Work summary").Range("Eddress2").Value

   With OutMail
       .To = MyAddress
       '.CC = MyAddress2
       .BCC = ""
       .Subject = "Fred - PM - Weekly report"
       .Body = "Attached please find my weekly report. Regards, Peter"
       .Attachments.Add ActiveWorkbook.FullName
       'You can add other files also like this
       '.Attachments.Add ("C:\test.txt")
       .Send   'or use .Display
   End With
   On Error GoTo 0

ExitLable:

   Set OutMail = Nothing
   Set OutApp = Nothing

End Sub

Out of the blue, my Mozilla Thunderbird emails quit coming in. I paid a guy to get 2 weeks worth of emails to come in and thought the problem was fixed. Next day, same problem - no new emails coming in. What is happening? I need help.

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?

Constant blue circle timeouts when trying to open emails or send. Everything stops while the blue circle of death throbs for up to 30 seconds every time. Makes every email sent and every one marked junk or otherwise take forever.

Help.

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.
