All of the sudden today I can't send email from Thunderbird. Incoming email fine. However whenever I try to send I get a server timeout error. This has been working fine for years up until today. This is the message; Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtphm.sympatico.ca timed out. Try again.

Once I click on reply, it opens a new window where I can reply an email. My signature will always be below the quotes. Is saw that there was a setting back then where I can make it above the quotes, but the setting is not there anymore in the current version. Can you help me with that issue?

Thanks

Is there an alternative client I can import my Tbird data to?

I have had zero luck fixing constant crashing of Tbird and it is not providing any crash reports. It just says (Not Responding) and I can close but no restart without using task manager to kill the background process.

I cannot work like that so need something else.

Les courriers d'un même correspondant sont regroupés quelque soit la date sous un "onglet" qu'il faut ouvrir pour y accéder. Lorsqu'un nouveau message du correspondant rentre, il se trouve masqué par ce regroupement. Comment désactiver cette fonction (si possible)? R.CAILLAUD [email protected]

Since I updated this version, Thunderbird often fails to connect to the mail server. And sending mail is very slow.

I don't know why, is it because I use VPN? Do I need to set Thunderbird to use the system proxy to connect to the Internet? I used automatic detection before.

I'm using thunderbird for gmail account, and I struggle to mark some events notification as completed when they are deleted using gmail interface. They keep on poping up but when I hit `Dismiss` it gives me this error: ``` Status Code: 2147500037, The request cannot be processed.

Server Replied with 400 If you're seeing this message after snoozing or dismissing a reminder and this is for a calendar you do not want to add or edit events for, you can mark this calendar as read-only to avoid such experience in future. To do so, get to the calendar properties by right-clicking on this calendar in the list in the calendar or task view. ```

I don't want to make my calendar read-only because I'm still gonna use it but I can't remove these annoying pop-ups because of the error. Please help what can I do

When I double click on an email in my inbox, it opens as a reply email from me to me in a "write" format with the only option to "send". The yellow warning at the bottom reads: A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current field and settings for identity Vince Walker with my email address. If I instead right click on the email in my inbox and ask to open in another tab it appears correctly with correct sender and options to reply reply all etc. How do I fix this? I have rebooted Thunderbird and my computer. Vince

In Windows 11, the Address Book is accessed via an icon on top left of the TB main page or Alt+2. In Windows 11 is there a similar key combination to view the folders below Local Folders?

Hi! I have added an e-mail account to my Thunderbird and the support by the e-mail delivery says that I should just log in as it was an office365-account. I have done that and I can read the incoming mail, but it is not possible to answer or write a new message. I´ve tried different ways at the outgoing server, but always getting the same message: It was not possible to send the message. The message was not send because of the impermissible number of recipients (well, more or less - translated from swedish). So what to do? Y.S. Mikael Sanner

Hi, I Changed IMAP to POP3, rebuilt Inbox.MSF and it worked for a few hours. Now, I cannot get control of the Thunderbird screen (it is grayed out and "the wheel is turning") I've also tried to Shift click to start Thunderbird in Troubleshoot mode and checked both boxes. (I get control for approximately 15 seconds). I am running Windows 11 with 64 Gb of RAM and enough disk space. What should I do now?

BTW, I am an I/T professional, so you may use jargon in your response.

Thank you in advance.

The task is to put a company logo icon instead of a folder icon, how to change the icon image for mail folders in Thunderbird? I read the topic https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1305856 and did as it says, created userChrome.css and toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheet changed 'True'. but no changes happened. specialFolder or localFolder both is okey. Version 128.5.0esr (64-bit)

Many thanks in advance. Olga

Dear Mozilla, My 27" iMac crashed suddenly on Wednesday last week (when I wasn't actually using it) and would not boot up. A message referred me to Apple and I made an appointment in Glasgow to take my Mac for the repair. I plugged my Mac in before I left - and it recovered itself!

However all my Thunderbird emails, files and settings have totally disappeared! Apparently a Thunderbird update is responsible. I have spent hours on the phone trying to get help. I have spent hours with CHATDGP talking me through stuff. The data seems to be on my machine but whatever I do I can't get Thunderbird to work. I am at my wits end. I have all my work files in Thunderbird and have no access to anything.

This is the second time recently that my Thunderbird files have vanished. I had to pay an expert to come to my house and restore the first time, but he is very ill at the moment and unable to leave home.

Please help me. I would be very grateful to have my Thunderbird back and working correctly. I am on macOS Monterey, version 12.7.6 (21h1320).

kind regards Helen 07836 707504 UK

I don't want the Thunderbird to download all messages from server. I want to "tell him" - Don't download messages where "From:" is "[email protected]".

Is this simple task is achivable in Thunderbird?

PS I don't care is it POP or IMAP. It doesn't matter. What matters is can I tell Thunderbird (maybe by filters) - don't download specified messages from server?

It has been asked several times already, but all threads seem to just be archived without any proper response. How can one set for all folders and all messages (not just new ones) the default view permanently to 'unthreaded'?
