Thunderbird Support Forum

I just installed Beta 114. I currently have a Thunderbird 102 installation with a POP Account. There are three subfolders to the Inbox on that POP account. I would like to import the folders and messages to the 114 installation but haven't been able to figure out how to do that. When I added that account to 114 I used IMAP instead of POP.

Thank you.

If I create an event in a Google calendar in Thunderbird 102.11.2 and the Provider for Google Calendar, it correctly shows me as the organizer with no attendees. The Google Calendar app on my Samsung A13 phone running Android 12 shows it correctly on my calendar. If I then edit the event in Thunderbird and save it (even it I don't make changes), I am listed as an attendee to the meeting as well as the organizer. This causes my phone to show the event with a black interior rather than the normal color for events on my calendar. My presumption is that the black interior means the event hasn't been confirmed by all attendees. If I "remove all attendees" in Thunderbird for the event, my phone shows it correctly again.

I saw a similar problem report on the web about Google adding the organizer as an attendee. It said something about being logged in to "the primary" calendar when creating the event on a google calendar, but with no explanation about what the "primary calendar" is, and the description of that problem isn't exactly what is happening to me.

Removing all attendees or just living with different colored events on my calendar are viable options, but it is annoying. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Previously used Thunderbird with Davmail, for several years. with settings in the link; https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=187501

Since NHS mail update, that retired basic authentication protocol & requiring two factor authentication. I have not been able to use NHS mail in thunderbird. https://support.nhs.net/knowledge-base/users-with-personal-mobile-and-desktop-devices-using-mail-calendar-applications-user-guide/

NHS support suggest using Outlook eamil client instead.

Any way to use nhsmail in thunderbird?

Many Thanks...

I keep getting "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender" messages when sending emails from Thunderbird to Gmail accounts. Can you help? I am using Thunderbird 102.11.2 (32-bit) as POP mail server with email account through pairserver.com (SSL/TSL with normal password). I can send to Gmail accounts with no trouble directly from webmail.pair.com.

I want to move Thunderbird local folders to an external drive (Seagate). I am working on a desktop computer with Windows 10. Where are the Thunderbird local folders? The files don't display anywhere in Windows explorer. I am able to transfer all other files such as jpg. and pdf. files from the desk top computer to the external drive by dragging and dropping, but I can't locate the Thunderbird local email files so as to be able to drag and drop.

I used to manage two large email groups. Now, I just need to add 12 new contacts to a small existing group. Each time I add one name/address, the screen goes back to square one so to speak. I must be doing something wrong! It shouldn't be this cumbersome. I just want to type in all the new folks and THEN hit okay once.

I may even have asked this question before, but I can't find anything about it in the help.

My ISP is stopping its email service (accessed via Thunderbird) at the end of June so I've set up a Gmail account (also accessed via Thunderbird) and created folders corresponding to those in the old account. I've located the profile folder for my old account, and tried to import my old emails from this via Tools > Import in my new account, but only the contents of one folder in the old account have been transferred. I've repeated this a number of times with no greater success, but what I do now have is a series of duplicate folders and 'Thunderbird Import' folders that have been generated in my old account (see screenshot).

How can I get my other old emails into my new account?

I used to have no problem accessing gmail until they stopped allowing less secure app access. Every since then whenever I tried to access my gmail accounts with Thunderbird I get the message "Authentication failure while connecting to server imap.gmail.com". I have done research and made sure I have all the correct settings regarding OAuth2 and cookies and whatever in both Gmail and Thunderbird. But I have never been able to get it to work.

Then suddenly out of the blue I get this login screen for Google that opens in a new Thunderbird window that I haven't seen before. I mean I hadn't even upgraded or restarted Thunderbird for a very long time and it's just been opened in the background working away. So who knows what happened to make that appear. In any case, after I logged into my Google account using that Thunderbird window, and went through the million security notifications from Google about it, I was actually able to access my Gmail account at last.

The trouble now is that I have several Gmail accounts. And I can only access one this way. The others still give me that authentication error. I have checked to make sure that all account settings are exactly the same, and they are.

What can I do to get my other Gmail accounts working in Thunderbird? Is there anyway I can trigger Thunderbird into giving me that Google login windows for my other accounts?

I am currently using Thundrbird 102.10.1 (64-bit).

For years I had Thunderbird set up to open the way I want it to: fullscreen, classic view but without the Tasks/Events pane (which I never use), and with the folders pane at a width that I had set to view all the folder names for each email account.

Something changed a few months ago. I don't know if it was concurrent with an update, but now when TB opens it still shows the classic view but not fullscreen, WITH the Tasks/Events pane and with the folders pane width smaller that I had set it to.

How can I make TB display the way I want it to instead of what it thinks I want?

Can anyone help? TIA

A problem I run into a fair bit is having legitimate emails going to my spam folder. I've added the email addresses to my address book and I've moved the emails into my inbox hoping Thunderbird would get the hint but neither has helped. I'm not sure how to address this and I'm hoping someone has a solution.

Using TB 102.10.0 (64bit) I want to sync Google contacts.

I have read the instructions but I fail because I get:-

File > New > Card Contact

NOT:-

File menu > New > CardDAV Address Book

Any advice please?

Outlook stopped working as of last night. If I install Thunderbird as my desktop email program, will I be able to set it up with my current desktop email address: [edited] @tx.rr.com ?

I've had problems with outlook since I changed network providers from spectrum to frontier. I have the incoming and outgoing server settings for frontier.

Since my current desktop email program (outlook 2016) does not work, contact me via webmail for the moment [edited] @proton.me

Thank you

I'm a long time user of Thunderbird Version102.11.2 and now I am perplexed .. Using Windows 11. My primary business accounts are Outlook 365 through GoDaddy. All has worked well until last night. Thunderbird is set to check for mail every 3 minutes. If there is something to download it does. If there is nothing to download I get:

Sending of password for user jeff@xxxxx.net did not succeed. Mail server outlook.office365.com responded: Authentication failure: unknown user name or bad password.

If I click " get messages" sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't and I get the same or similar messaage.. If I try to send email I get

"Login to server outlook.office365.com with username jeff@xxxxx failed."

Its not a password or login issue. Emails go to phone and tablets just fine

Other accounts with other servers are working fine ..its just the Outlook 365 accounts. Something changed somewhere but my limited skill can't figure this out.

Thoughts/suggestions ?

I've searched everywhere and can't figure out how to change the default sort order for messages in my inbox and other folders. From Oldest to Newest is counterintuitive for me and I'm sure there is a place to change this...I just can't locate it. Thanks for any help.

Windows 10 21H2 19044-2728. Running Thunderbird 52.9.1

Adding mailto: links in some websites I am developing. When clicking on the email link Windows says I'll need a new app. Can't set default for email - it says there are no installed apps for this type of file or protocol Can't set the default protocol - mailto is not on the list.

How can I set Thunderbird as the default for mailto: links?

thanks

The browse button does not work for me. It does nothing when clicking it

I have only just installed Thunderbird, so I'm not sure a reinstall would help

Currently in the box it says: file:///media/randomguy400/44754/Sounds/message.wav

I'm not sure why it has this path. The actual path to the file it is referring to is actually in E:\\Sounds (also the hard drive is named "44754"). Not sure why the path is like this. I'm unable to change the path without using the Browse button.

I'm on Thunderbird 102.11.0 (64-bit) My PC is Windows 10 Pro 22H2

For some reason (my mistake I assume) my Thunderbird roaming profile on my win10 PC was stored on another hard drive which was later overwritten. So I can't open TB because it can't locate my profile. I can't find any backups that have the profile folder included. I do however have the same data and profile on my Android phone and can read/write from there normally. This virtually is a copy of what I had on the PC (folders and sub folders etc). My question: Is there a way to copy the profile from my phone across to the PC (even if that means downloading thousands of messages)?

Your help would be very much appreciated.

Hi,

Since the latest update today 102.11.0 (64-bits) my Thunderbird on Windows 10, freezes when receiving mail. I did a new install but that did not help, I have turned off every email notificiation, that also didn't help.

I have asked my ISP but they have no server problems with my imap account. On my phone, with a different program, I have no problem at all.

Is there anything I can do to get this fixed?

Thanks !
