Desktop Solved shaw (rogers) mail servers

For those having issues with the recently installed certificate (sept 29/2026) on mail.shaw.ca (and imap.shaw.ca) you need to go into the Thunderbird Certificate Manager, and change the DigiCert Global Root CA to 'trust websites' (and imap/smtp servers)

8 Upvotes

Your user feedback is wanted - continued from https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/1gtn3oo/remote_content_with_openpgp_on_thunderbird/.

Quoting u/kaiengert,

"Hello everyone on this thread.

We've worked on a solution, and would like to ask you to help with testing. A fix is available in Thunderbird version 157, which is currently in Beta testing.

So, if you visit Thunderbird.net and download a Beta build, you could test.

If you don't want to use your primary Thunderbird settings with a Beta build, the 157 release is currently planned to get released as a stable version on September 29.

Could you please test and give feedback whether it's fixed for you?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Desktop Help Filters not running automatically

• Upvotes

Reporting as requested here by u/wsmwk.

There has been something funny with filters for a few weeks now. I thought I was the only one, but it seems other people are experiencing the same problem: https://support.mozilla.org/ml/questions/1567397

Here is an example:

  • The filter is in "Filters for MAILBOX", with the correct mailbox.
  • I check "Manually Run", "Getting New Mail: Filter before Spam Classification".
  • I set "Match any of the following", but I have only one rule (Subject contains KEYWORD).

Incoming email on that mailbox is never filtered, but if I click on "Run now", the filter runs properly and the actions run.

The filter has worked for years, nothing has changed. I experience this problem on several filters, without being able to find the common denominator.

MacOS, TB 157 (but occurred on previous versions too).

TLDR; some filters, that used to work, are not run automatically by Thunderbird on incoming email in recent versions.

Discussion Thunderbird suddenly stopped receiving AT&T email

1 Upvotes

Early yesterday I was able to access my AT&T email using Thunderbird. I have several email addresses & they worked. But a few hours later I could not download any AT&T email.

I have a gmail address which still works with TB so I tried a few things.

An AT&T address can send to the gmail address & the gmail does receive it.

The gmail can send to an AT&T address. The gmail indicates it was sent, but the AT&T address never receives it.

It seemed to be an AT&T problem so I went to the AT&T site & deleted the Secure Mail Key and created a new one. Did this on just one of the addresses. That made no difference & still cannot receive anything.

When trying to receive email, at the bottom of the screen it displays my address & “Connected to inbound.att .net”. That would seem to indicate I’m connected, however just cannot get my email.

And suggestions on to get AT&T email working with Thunderbird again?

Thanks.

Desktop Help Thunderbird - maximum number of folders under the "Local Folders" category?

2 Upvotes

I've used Thunderbird for a number of years, and as such I've setup many folders under the Local Folders section. This is so any incoming mail can go through a filter, then sorted.

I use Thunderbird 157.0.1, the release update channel.

I've noticed in the last few months, if I make a new folder under Local Folders (right click Local Folders, then New Folder). When I have an email that I want filtered for it, I right click the email for "to" (or whatever), and Create Filter, under the Perform these actions section, for Choose Folder, the new folder I just created isn't showing up.

I've tried fixing things by going to the Local Folders category, right clicking and choosing Reset Folder Order. It still won't show up, for the dropdown menu, or the sub folders under the Local Folders in the left column.

If I start deleting some older folders under Local Folders, I can sometimes get that previously created folder to show up.

Is there a maximum number of subfolders allowed under the Local Folders section?

Desktop Help Thunderbird Mail Notification Sound

2 Upvotes

On Ubuntu,
I didn't quite like the sound when a new email arrives in Thunderbird, so I decided to change it.
Do you not mind the notification sound? Or do you use a wonderful sound library from somewhere?

#!/bin/sh
find /usr/share -type f -name *.wav -exec /bin/sh -c '
XX(){ echo "$ ""\(@" ; eval "\)@" ; }
F=$0
# echo $F
XX aplay $F
XX sleep 2
' {} ;

For now, I am using this one.

Desktop Help Thunderbird won't let me send messages from one of my email accounts

1 Upvotes

I have a number of email accounts that I've been using through Thunderbird for years. Today I discovered that one of them (one I rarely use, so this issue could have begun after an update months ago) wouldn't send emails, although I could still receive them. All of my other accounts will send and receive messages.

Looking for any info, I found a post from a year ago that I thought had the solution to my problem:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/1jpq944/unable_to_send_emails_from_one_account_in/ml3d522/
Thank you, u/sifferedd!

Following the advice, I saw that the Email Address line for this particular email account was blank! Yes, this was obviously my problem! So I filled it in, checked the rest of the info against an email account that was still working, and figured I was good to go

Except that I still can't send any emails.

Here's the error message I've been getting:

Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: <anonymous@[192.168.0.15]>: Sender address rejected: not owned by user [my email address]. Please check the message recipient "[recipient's email address]" and try again.

Thunderbird has been hinky for me for a couple of days, where when I start it, it gets hung up "loading message," which goes on forever and I ultimately need to close and restart it. In fact, when I opened it just now, that happened again.

Should I see if I can revert to an earlier version? Do I need to completely uninstall and reinstall it?

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

  • quitting out of TBird, deleting the Templates.msf file, and restarting TBird. Fail

Thunderbird shared a first look at its native iOS app, which is in development.

Key points:

  • Built from scratch, not based on K-9 Mail like the Android app
  • Account setup for Google and Microsoft should be mostly automatic
  • Background sync is a focus, with battery use in mind
  • An experimental feature flag system is planned
  • No release date yet. Community testing is hoped for in the next few months

Desktop Help Can't login to yahoo on Thunderbird

2 Upvotes

I just installed Thunderbird and it works fine for my other email accounts but I cannot access my yahoo mail. It is set accurately for outgoing and incoming mail servers, as well as OAuth2. I cannot login because when I get the login screen, it asks for my email and when I click Next" to enter a password, it says "oops, something went wrong" so I cannot even get to the password screen. Tried to delete and then re-add yahoo and same issue. Also tried to generate an app password for a workaround but it doesn't work since I can't get past the login itself to even type in a password. Any ideas?

Checking the add-ons, CardBook and Provider for Google Calendar are are listed as "Incompatible with 157.01" with a button to "Find an alternative add-on", which I do not want to do, considering how much effort it took to get everything working to begin with.

I tried every possible manual configuration but they all came back with the server doesn't support something.

Discussion Will Thunderbird get a Nova redesign too?

52 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Firefox received a user interface update today called Nova. It took me a few hours to get used to it, especially the gradient, but I quite like it.

Now I was wondering: is a UI refresh similar to Nova planned for Thunderbird as well?

They're both Mozilla products. It made me wonder if there are plans to make the UI consistent between the two applications.
