"Connection to outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.rcn.com timed out". I called RCN support and they said my settings looked OK and I tried various combinations but nothing works. I tried turning off firewall but that didn't help. They suggested I contact Thunderbird.

This has been working for years but my last sent message was 4/27/2024. Obviously I don't use the account much!

Server smtp.rcn.com is OK and I tried both ports that RCN said should work. Connection security SSL/TLS (I tried others). Authentication method - encrypted password (I tried others). Username should be OK too - my name before the @rcn.com. That has been that way for a long time.

Any ideas? I can receive emails just fine.

I am on the latest release. 139.0.1 (64-bit)

Thanks!

This morning an email from my inbox accidentally went into my deleted box. I have always been able to click on "More" and been able to move it back into my inbox. Today "More" had new options and moving to another location was not one of them. What happened? I often click 'delete' by mistake and have to move it back to where I really meant the email to go.

I have used the TbSync and Provider for EAS addons for several years to link my iPhone calendar with Thunderbird. These addons are now no longer compatible with Thunderbird 139.0 and have been disabled. What will replace them, the "Sync" button? If so, it isn't working on my installation. When I click on the "Sync" button in Thunderbird nothing happens. I cannot find a location in either setting or tools to setup "Sync" to do what TbSync & Provider for EAS did.

I'm currently noticing that images sent to me aren't appearing in Thunderbird Inbox.

I look at messages first in Mailwasher (while they're still on the server) and download the ones I want to keep or read later. I saw an image in one of today's emails while it was in Mailwasher, but when I read it in Thunderbird, the image wasn't there.

Then I noticed a couple of other emails that mention an attachment, there is nothing there.

Previously received photos are still there.

Is there some setting I accidentally made?

Thanks, Kami

I am having recurring problems sending e-mails, not knowing when it is going to work or not. The following message is one that I usually get:

"Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <info@axxxxx.co.uk> recipient rejected - relay denied.

Please check the message recipient "info@xxxxx.co.uk" and try again."

I also get the following message when trying to send:

"Login to server mail.madasafish.com with username btom@madasafish.com failed."

These are my current settings:

Details of selected server: Description: btom Server Name: mail.madasafish.com Port: 25 User Name: btom@madasafish.com Authentication method: Password, transmitted insecurely Connection Security: None

I haven't changed any settings from the last time I was able to send e-mails, so I would appreciate any help.

Windows 10, latest version on desktop computer.

In all previous versions I was able to open an email from the list in table view (or card view) by right clicking and selecting open message in new tab, window or conversation right from the top 3 choices, now I have to slide over to a sub menu to do the same thing. Why the change? Plenty of space for the 3 options unless you are on a phone and that's a different app. I'm told Windows 11 has some of the same changes making you have extra clicks for something that was 1 click hurting your productivity.

Otherwise this version is an improvement since it opens the program faster and some things seem more responsive similar to the versions many years ago that did not have as many features.

Emails were not appearing in the Thunderbird (v128.11.0esr (64-bit), on a Windows 10 laptop) Inbox from a newly opened Gmail account (though they did appear in All Mail). The Gmail account was opened with default options, and it was added to Thunderbird with default options. They did appear in the Gmail app on an Android phone, but with the label 'Primary' rather than 'Inbox'. Investigation of Gmail accessed via a web browser showed that the Inbox contained four tabs: 'Primary', 'Promotions', 'Social' and 'Updates'. Doing Get started with Gmail > Customize your inbox > Default > Customize allowed me to "Deselect all categories to go back to your old inbox". This didn't fix Thunderbird (even though I forced a Get New Messages for) but, after I'd blundered around a bit more, it started working. So, I'm not sure whether I did something else to fix it, or it just took several minutes to start working. Also, the Android phone now shows 'Inbox' rather than 'Primary'. Question: Is there a way of sorting this out at the Thunderbird end, without having to make setup changes at the Gmail end? It would be very useful if Thunderbird could sort this out automatically when we add a Gmail account. Until then, it would be useful if your solution or, if no solution, my work-around could be publicised in Help. Thank You

Windows: Win11 24H2 Thunderbird: Version 139.0.1

The screenshot shows the reminder window. The window appeared, I enter sleep on the computer, come out of sleep, there is no window. The same thing happens if I close Thunderbird (with a cross in the upper right corner) and then launch it. And the same thing happens after the computer is turned off and on.

What actions have I done to understand the problem: 1) deleted the profile and created a new empty one, i.e. profile files have no effect on this; 2) reinstalled Thunderbird.

The problem started 3-4 days ago. The problem may have occurred after the Thunderbird program update - the update was on June 2.

Hello - I have 2 Thunderbird accounts supported by gmail. A recent issue has occurred that I cannot seem to resolve. Both accounts are active and accessible on my Android cell phone. Only 1 account is now accessible on my laptop. I have tried all available solutions to get Google to "recognize" this second account but no success. My last email received via laptop Thunderbird was May 1. Any suggestions? Thanks very much, Jim
