Thunderbird can recover emails on a private server?

I have a private server, dovecot, set up and I am trying to configure Thunderbird to retrieve her email via IMAP on port 143. I intend to set up TLS encryption at some point, but for now I just try to get the two to talk. I don't have a domain name, so when you create account I enter the IP address of the server to tuberculosis [TB02.png]. This audit has never ends by the way no matter what I put in the password field, but I don't know if TB is in contact with the ISP database mentioned here (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-account-configuration) or if it's the mark actually provided IP address. Now I can bypass this check by clicking on the Advanced Settings button (once I manually configured the SMTP options), but when TB tries to retrieve the mail from the server, I get the "Failed to connect to server" notification [TB03.png] as if dovecot is not yet running.
I checked that server-side works by using an email client different (Mail Simple extension for Firefox) and the dovecot logs indicate that he received these authentication attempts (and the server will listen on port 143, so that rules out TB and simple mail using different protocols or ports). The server also running exim4 to handle SMTP connections, but he only listen on the loopback interface, so TB won't be able to use it as outgoing server. I do not know if that plays a role in the creation of an account or not, so I thought I should mention.
So my main problem is that I don't know what Thunderbird did and I could not find any documentation that deals with private messaging servers, everything I found said something to the effect of "just put your email address and it will take care of everything for you!
Thanks to anyone who decides to try to offer some insight.

Why the main points on the domain name server?

Your user name must the full email address including the domain? I'm not familiar with loft.

  • Thunderbird downloads emails from the mail server to its own server?

    Download Thunderbird and Horus email on its own server, or wiat for pull emails from my mail server until I have connect and download them?

    There is no 'server Thunderbird', so that solves the first part of your question.

    I don't know what you mean by "log in."

    Thunderbird, retrieves all in all, your messages from the server when you tell him, or you can configure it to do periodically.

    To access your messages, he must know the username of the e-mail account (very often all or part of your e-mail address) and the corresponding password. If you allow Thunderbird store the password, there is no need even to think of "connection" to the mail server.

    I said "basically" because with some IMAP servers, messages seem to be fed to Thunderbird as and when they become available, assuming he is alive and online.

  • Having multiple computers using the server POPS via Thunderbird. A new computer has IMAP server and cannot send or receive emails via Thunderbird. Help

    With the help of Mozilla Thunderbird - multiple computers use the POP server, but a new computer uses the IMAP server. Mail or back does not work
    Can we change the IMAP POP server to make it easier. All my other computers POP and mail is perfect.
    What can I do?

    First question is your email provider does support IMAP protocol?
    If this isn't the case, that is why it does not work.
    If they do, IMAP is a protocol much better use to check email from multiple devices.
    There are a lot of good tutorials on the differences between POP and IMAP if you can do your own research on this.

    You don't change an account from one protocol to another.
    You delete the account and add back with the correct protocol.
    Thunderbird has a tendency to select IMAP as a default value. You need to stop right there and make the POP changes if that's what you want or need.

  • How can I prevent the Thunderbird sending spam emails?

    I work as a consultant and use Thunderbird as my email of the company. Last month, emails from one of my customers were going to spam. I added their addresses in my address book. In the menu setting junk, "does not automatically mark messages as junk if the sender is in:" I chose the "collected addresses" and "personal address book." Several times I have marked the emails as being "not junk". However, emails should continue to go to the spam box. Now, Thunderbird has started to send mails to other shippers with this domain name to junk food too. How can I fix? It is not only frustrating, but is impacting on my ability to run my business. Thank you!

    Well, you are more than likely using the IMAP email and seeing the record created by your ISP.
    As already said Thunderbird does not use the word spam for anything whatsoever.

  • In Thunderbird, can I received email from one address to be text only (no html)?

    LinkedIn sends updates to the son of group discussion with a "teaser" of comments posted in a comment. I heard somewhere that if I can convert email of the SENDER in the text only (no), then I will receive the full text published in this comment.

    I have no need to do this for any other SHIPPER to my system.

    So, is this possible?

    TIA

    A simple answer to your question is NO, it cannot be done for just a single sender. All messages would be treated the same.

    You may have heard that the text version only contains the entire text of the html message. This is true if the message was composed in BOTH formats 'html' and 'text', (a multi-part format)

    If the update of LinkedIn does not give the entire message in html format, change to display it as text will display any additional parts of the message.
    The text version is the same message as the html version, but without the html tags.

    The following article has a section named
    'Send plain text and HTML'

    You post in a forum of Vista and Outlook Express last used in XP. If you mean Vista Windows Mail, unless you have removed the account, just open the program and use it. You can remove WLMail whenever you want. It is a part of the programs in the window Live Essentials Control Panel uninstall section.

  • What would cause the "from address" info (FA). some emails, downloading the pop3 server, will be replaced by an 'f' 'common '?

    I get multiple research work emails (E/JS) and ecommerce. Some of them have a "Correct".
    'St. Michael Job Assistance Ministry - JAM' FA (SMJAM-JAM).

    For some reason, however, some of the emails from other sources, downloading the verizon pop3, E/JS server are indicated (wrongly) as having the FA SMJAM-JAM above. This situation prevents my email filters to plug these emails to their appropriate mail folder.

    Also, when the steps in order to transmit emails showing incorrect information of FA SMJAM-JAM, the e-mail is no longer present incorrect information of FA SMJAM-JAM but shows rather the correct information of FA that had been specified on the verizon pop3 server.

    Hello

    If I understand your problem, I think it may have to do with the addresses stored in your address book. Thunderbird can display the name of your address book instead of the name of the post office, where corresponds to the e-mail address.

    Check your address books to see if you have a bad entry for mail addresses get listed wrong.

    Also check under Tools-> Options-> advanced-> reading & display if you have checked the option to see show it only the names of the people in my address book. If you uncheck this option, the name and the address must be...

  • HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD MAIL FROM THE SERVER

    Thunderbird has had in the past, a simple command, "Get Mail" that disappeared that I can tell. Need to get my messages on the server as some disappear just if I leave here too long and I never can tell what is "too long".

    In my humble OPINION, unless you have a formal contract with your email provider, you should show all emails stored on their server as transitional and not guaranteed to be here tomorrow.

  • What is the maximum number of messages/files that Thunderbird can handle?

    I plan to migrate from Outlook (2007) to Thunderbird (on a PC MsWin7 - Ultimate 64-bit). Unfortunately, I have a lot of historical emails that I still have and periodically reference; Currently, these are several PST files. Reading some of your prior support questions, I discovered that Thunderbird use monolithic mail a database, apparently mapped in the structure of normal file/folder of the operating system (i.e., anything that the user selectable, as supply of PST files); but that Thunderbird will suck in all messages from Outlook PST files during installation, assuming that all of him are open at the time of the installation of Thunderbird (?).

    QUESTION: Which is the case, is there the ALL LIMITS on the number of files or messages that Thunderbird can handle?

    No, I really am aware, other than the available disk space on the computer.

    The limit of 4 GB (per folder) on local files was lifted, but I don't know that I hope the fix. SO think 4 GB as a limit on the size of the folder.

    I'm not aware of any practical limit to the number of accounts. I've heard hundreds and dozens of personally.

    I guess that the file system file size limit still applies, but because it is in windows 7 from 16 to 256 TB in Windows 8, I don't think it's really a matter of concern. (I have not heard a single hard drive this size still).

    With optional mailDir structure to store messages in Thunderbird 38 (a mail a file), then even this limit is theoretical, otherwise than for the overall index and the index file. Note that this is an option for 'New' accounts, those not imported and is not the default.

  • Thunderbird change outgoing email address

    Compose a new email:

    In the field 'To' I start typing an address. Thunderbird offers a drop-down matches of my address book. I select one of the addresses. Thunderbird puts in the field "to". At this point, my cursor is still in the field "to". Then I hit enter to move to the next field, & Thunderbird changed the email address to a different address (an address that is different from my address book).

    If I add a space after the e-mail address before you press Enter, Thunderbird leave the email address as it is.

    Behavior is somewhat random - address is not replaced all the time. In addition, for a while, Thunderbird will make a change - as always change address X to the address, then it will switch to another change - address Z always replacing address w.

    The alternative address is always one that is in the address book.

    Also, Thunderbird colors randomly a few e-mail addresses out in red, even if they are in my address book.

    This is known and reported bug the developers are working on a fix critical. Please note that this bug only occurs if you are using TAB or ENTER.

    Two options, but I recommend option 2.

    1. if you use your mouse to select the email address and use the mouse to move to the next line then it does not.

    2. suggest using this method. This method does not require using the TAB or ENTER keys, so will not produce the bug.

    Write a new message.

    • Use the Contacts Sidebar
    • 'View' > 'Contacts sidebar' or toggle view using the f9 key.
    • Select address book only SELECT strung
    • Click on the button 'TO Addto' or other options.

    Any ideas?

    Thunderbird is an email client not a slideshow creator. You will need to use software to create a slide show and save it to a file. Then you can send it as an attachment. Then the person who you send it to would have to have a software that can handle the type of file that you create.
