Long time user, but suddenly I cannot send email on Thunderbird. I receive message: "ELNK003. Error code 308. Verify email address in Account Settings". All appears OK to me, but I cannot send , but only receive. Thanks, Michael Opitz [edited] @mindspring.com Cell: [edited phone# from community support forum]

Have other computer running W10 Tbird using POP3. New laptop W11, I had mistakenly set up Tbird as IMAP. Didn't notice it for months until I needed to clean trash on email provider server. Then noticed all my trash on the W11 Tbird disappeared. I'm messy & like trash so want to keep it on my computers. How can I change the W11 machine from IMAP to POP3 without losing anything? Another question, is there any way to combine the sent emails from the different computers?

I've been using Thunderbird for many years, and its up to date. I've had more and more problems with choppy response times lately. It "freezes" for short periods where the interface stops responding for half a minute, or a minute or so before I can do anything. It always comes back (never crashes, shuts down). Today was some of the worst where it was minutes before I could start using it.

My junk and trash folders are empty, and I've done a compression and run the cleanup operation on a bunch of folders. My Inbox is empty. I only have 2 pop accounts. Its not when its retrieving or sending email though.

Hi, I don't know what I did but suddenly I only have the chat screen (which I have never been in, screenshot attached) and can't get back to my normal Thunderbird window where I see all my emails. All functions in the drop-down menus don't work, I can't get into settings or anything. What do I need to do to get back to my emails?

I have used thunderbird for many years and have installed various versions on many different windows machines. I just got a new PC running windows 11 and installed the current version of thunderbird. The local folders show up but with no content (no subfolders and no messages found). My local folder (about 45 Gb) is located on a dropbox drive so that I can read and save emails on different machines.

I wonder whether it is related to this version? I have installed thunderbird on a different machine about one year ago and it worked fine (thunderbird is currently running this way on 2 other window machines and they are all OK). If this is the case, is there a way I can find and install an earlier version of thunderbird?

Thanks for your help.

Every time I run Thunderbird, it appears to lose its IMAP connection(s) after 10-15 minutes. I've tried varying the number of cached connections from 1 to 10 with no difference in behavior.

Restarting Thunderbird will restore connectivity temporarily, until the entire process starts over again.

It seems to be correlated to saving a copy of sent messages. The sending process times out while the message is being saved to the Sent folder after the SMTP sending is complete.

Once this happens, new mail doesn't appear, moving mail between folders has no effect, and some (but not all) messages can't be retrieved from the server.

The Reply command no longer shows when I want to send an email back to the person that sent it. There is a note at the bottom of the email that says: A unique identity matching the From address was not found. The message will be sent using the current From field and setting from identity Vince Hunter < omni232@telus.net> Can you give me instructions in laymans terms to fix this bug and return it back to the way it was?

My provider uses IMAP, not POP3. I am transitioning to a new computer. My entire work and personal emails over the last 10 years are on this computer. A loss of emails would be really, really bad for my work. I use my Thunderbird account on two devices: a main laptop and a small travel laptop. It's nice to have them synched, but not essential due to limited use of my travel laptop.

Currently all of my old emails are in IMAP folders on the new computer. My questions:

(1) Which is better protected from loss of emails, IMAP folders or local folders? On the one hand, I occasionally destroy a computer by doing something dumb like spilling water on it. But does it ever happen that a provider permanently loses emails, like a major server crash?

(2) To what extent is loss of privacy an issue with IMAP storage folders? Is there any history of privacy incidents with IMAP folders?

(3) If I move emails from IMAP to local folders and then delete the IMAP folders, will my emails be permanently saved in the local folders? I did an experiment and the answer seems to be yes.

(4) Considering the above questions, is it best to store emails in IMAP or local folders? Is there any significant difference?

Data in preview (when I move the mouse over the calendar entry) is always correct. However, the data differs from the one when I click on Edit.

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

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

Thunderbird says transfer calendar data to new PC as read only. Transfer is asking for read only as it is aborting task. How do I mark items as read only? Advice please

I cannot login to Thunderbird. I have a Telstra Bigpond email account. I have set it up for imap using the Telstra settings. My password is correct but it is not accepted and I cannot login.

I can't find the Spam anywhere and so I'm afraid that I may miss some emails that are not spam whatsoever. The spam log never contains any email. Thank you very much for helping me with this issue Brigitte Would you please send your answer to kapretz@posteo.de also? That's my current and valid email adress. Thank you!!!

With both "Open" and "Edit", Thunderbid's calendar event windows can be moved to a desired location and will persist, just as they always have. But I can remember back when the resizing of each window used to persist as well. Is there some way in the advanced settings, to restore that ability?

I have installed thunderbird in my virtual desktop, but whenever i try to open it, it gets in the not responding state. CPU and memory utilization are all fine. I tried re-installing it with default and custom setting but still getting the same issue. can you please help here?

For some reason, after using Thunderbird with no issues for years on my Windows 11 Desktop, I started getting an error message pop-up window, saying "Enter Credentials" but it's a blank browser window, with nowhere to enter anything. Since then I can't receive any e-mail, so I've had to use a different app, but I'd prefer to use Thunderbird. I've tried re-starting the computer, un-installing and re-installing Thunderbird, changing the Firewall settings in Microsoft 11 but NOTHING has worked.

Please help! Thanks, Dave S.

I have 3 ms email accounts. 1 of them keeps asking for credentials, but only gives me a blank window with nowhere to fill in my creds. The address box contains: https://login.live.com/oauth20_authorize.srf?client_id=9e5f94bc-e8a4-4e73-b8be-63364c29d753&scope=https%3a%2f%2foutlook.office.com%2fIMAP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3a%2f%2foutlook.office.com%2fPOP.AccessAsUser.All+https%3a%2f%2foutlook.office.com%2fSMTP.Send+offline_access&redirect_uri=https%3a%2f%2flocalhost&response_type=code&login_hint=bawlmer23%40hotmail.com&uaid=a1c6152f56ff4771b71827445e32221f&msproxy=1&issuer=mso&tenant=common&ui_locales=en-US&epct=PAQABDgEAAADW6jl31mB3T7ugrWTT8pFe9stb-KL5GFdB7Qy-RTa4jUBlHBFVCTiH2DNsResusZlwqWAYfV70i038_0vnixvUW3eLT57QK-W0Dz1YzIRePz-C7L6t7-gwPQIaVEk-iXtKq-p901Wa0v5efhdbQfhObMJSTCPdBsFNLo6_-7i_5CCzxFBybmlvezLv5kud7wrbFdqlAYcQOrUdN6fH4yPqhl947WldiSYDJ_XA09BR0SAA&jshs=0#

This started yesterday. Everything I have tried hasn't worked.

After using Thunderbird email for several hours today I all of a sudden get a message saying "enter your password for (my email) on imap.mail.yahoo.com. I tried my Yahoo password and my Thunderbird acct passsword but neither worked. Where do I find the password they are asking for--and why, when I am actively using thunderbird email, do I get interrupted asking for a password??

Where is the page with the imap data?

HELLO: My ISP provider is Comcast and I can eMail from their eMail system - do not like it. I always use TBird eMail. Recently got hacked and the Turds bulk mailed the whole list. Now my TBird App is giving me this error code as shown below.

The system settings have not changed that I know of. Just my Password has changed and that works because I can access the eMail. I just cannot send anything out.

I would be grateful for any suggestions as to how to fix this problem. Thanks!!!!
