• Email Thunderbird became unresponsive. I tried closing and reopening, but it continues to be a problem. What can I do to rememdy this?

  I have upgraded to Windows 10, when it became available. Had no problem with anything. All of a sudden today Thunderbird keeps stalling out. I don't think that it has nothing to do with Windows 10 since he has worked for weeks.

  How can I solve this problem?

• Thunderbird is slow and unresponsive

  Thunderbird is slow and unresponsive. It takes about 2 minutes for the email to be delivered, then another 1 or 2 minutes to open emails once they come in. How solve this problem and get the software working correctly? I use a 64-bit system with a lot of treatment, ram and video card in high quality. The problem seems to have started when I deleted my registry errors.

• Thunderbird is suspended ("Not Responding") seconds after the opening (ver. 38.4.0). Likely related to Avast.

  After a recent update 38.4.0, Thunderbird does more completely. I have to kill the process, and then whenever I open Thunderbird thereafter, it crashes a few seconds (even 'unresponsive' freeze-up).

  Sometimes in SafeMode as well of TB and with disabled Avast. Thunderbird works normally for some time after a restart of Windows 7 before crashing again. So, start in Windows safe mode are not conclusive.

  Are there additional troubleshooting I can do? I am sunk now, as Thunderbird is watered seriously! Is it possible to revert to a previous version?

  Thunderbird has been relatively stable in recent weeks. Maybe the TB or Avast updates have solved the problems of gel. Thank you for the thoughtful troubleshooting.

• Thunderbird installed 38 & now the PC freezes. No response from mouse & KB. What should do? How knowledge is there a w/o e-mail response?

  As explained in the summary...

  Version of Thunderbird installed 38 last night. This morning I have urgent questions on the email.

  I open Thunderbird and before it finishes downloading the mails from the server, and sometimes even before the end of the authentication password for the accounts, if freezes. I restarted three times with zero improvement. Mouse and KB are both unresponsive while the LED mouse works when the mouse moves and indicators CAPS etc meet key activities respective, so devices are working on their own, but Mozilla Thunderbird blocks the communication between them and the PC.

  Now, I don't have access to email and no way to know when there is an answer to this! Nice!

  What exactly is necessary to make Thunderbird work? And how can I find out about it without any email?

  I use Windows 7 on a PC. I use Firefox and Open Office, no other product from Ms.

  PS: I have an account already, but you do not provide a way to recover passwords, so that's my account 02!

  Try turning off hardware acceleration.
  Tools (Alt - T) - Options - Advanced - general tab
  Uncheck the "use hardware acceleration".

• How can I configure Thunderbird opens automatically when the computer is turned on

  Use Thunderbird 38.0 Beta and try to set the program to start automatically when my computer is turned on without success.

  The biggest problem is Thunderbird boot tends to be of the I/o intensive, and therefore Windows startup. Add to the incredible run antivirus software and you have a recipe for much longer boot time of Windows (non-linear). The typical question, most users encounter in this situation is Thunderbird delay and giving warnings of Script is unresponsive.

• Responds very slowly. I get an error no longer - unresponsive Script / Message CAUSE: McAfee

  In the last week or so, my Thunderbird account began to go very slowly and displays a message at the top - is unresponsive.
  The program then hangs or I have to stop him going out.
  It worked well for the first two months, but for some reason that it started his.
  I'm not very computer and to my knowledge have not changed the settings on the computer.
  I used Mozilla since Netscape has been abandoned and did not have this kind of problem before. Firefox seems to work very well.
  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Sounds like a lot of McAfee antivirus

• Configure my email on Thunderbird

  Hello world

  I use a PC for business purposes (I know it's bad) and I would like to set up my email address in a Thunderbird client. I tried to use my email address in @ mac.com, me.com and icloud.com with iCloud vainly password authentication each combination.

  This means that there is a password different email than the one iCloud and if yes, where can I find it?

• iMac 2011 constantly cold and unresponsive liked

  I have an iMac 27 "2011 that freezes all the time.  It will show the beachball and then become totally unresponsive until I have to manually turn off.  It does this at random and several times a day.  He does it with the basic tasks, such as browsing the net or by writing an email.  I have only to keep Outlook and iTunes running constantly and close all other applications down when I do not use them.  I thought that maybe reinstalling the operating system (not a not wipe anything just reinstalled) would help, but its still happening.  I recently did a backup of my hard drive but I wonder if I just need to clean the machine.  Anyone have any ideas?  Here is my EtreCheck report.

  You have a BUNCH of stuff installed can be attributed to your problem. One that stands out particularly is CleanMyMac. He has a very bad reputation here to cause problems with the Mac otherwise in good health. It is often mentioned that his routines to "clean up" (neither of which is required) can be too enthusiastic and can remove critical system files.

  The list of third-party stuff - that has the potential to destabilize your Mac - including SIMBL (a change of system, is really too long to solve the problems. BlackberryRIM stuff occurs also on here as potentially cause problems.

  You may need to consider to make a backup complete and up-to-date (of preferably at least two copies) and then erase the HD, reinstall the OS and then just to restore your data.

  Re-installing fresh copies of your third-party applications and only install applications that you really need. Always avoid the stuff that is 'clean', pushed, enhance, optimize, etc. your Mac. All a waste of time money. The Mac will look after itself without the need for third-party applications.

• How can I configure extract of Message in this latest version of Thunderbird?

  Used to be able to put in place a command something like extract Messages selected on one of the menus at the top. You set up and when click on the menu option send the attachment in the folder that you identified. I had this set up in the previous version.

  So, how do I once again? I can not even find the menu at the top. I hate this Chrome like thing with all the previous menus stuck under the icon of 3 tiny lines on the right. TERRIBLE! Can I rest Thunderbird menus in the toolbar superior ion to the old and much better view?

  Looks like some add on you installed. I have no experience with it. Go to the add ons page and do a search.

• Migration Eurdora to Thunderbird 3.61 hic

  I downloaded Thunderbird 3.61 and am trying to migrate mail in of Euroda. When I try, I get the following msg:

  "The message sending failed.
  Could not open the temporary file C:\Users\Eric\AppData\Local\Temp\nsemail-6.eml. Check your setting of "temporary directory". »

  I erased all the attributes of all directors in this way. For some reason any Tbird does not always manage to recover the temp msg they send. Any help would be greatly appreciated

  The problem at the moment is gone. I think that someone on this forum (that I use often and find very little claire) commented that Yahoo Mail is something of a burden to society and therefore not given much attention. After some advice that I indeed found a new Yahoo certificate installed in Eudora in the last days - he wasn't reliable natch - so I added it manually to the trust list and Eudora itself works fine now. I'm a happy camper.

• Suddenly I can't receive emails from a particular address on one of the three e-mail accounts that I have on Thunderbird.

  These emails come from a non-response address, and I get quite a number on a daily basis, so I was wondering if Thunderbird has a sort of virus protection that prevents me to receive. They won't in the junk mail folders or spam folders. I checked with HER on the Web site that sends these emails, and they said that everything was going well at their end. It shows emails through. However, I could not receive even their test sent from their account message no answer. BUT when they sent from another account, it came through fine. So the problem seems to be with my receipt of messages from addresses no answer. This began to happen on December 14.

  I thought maybe it's something in my antivirus software, which is something called Symantec Endpoint Protection (provided by my employer), so I tried also the implementation of all the email accounts three on another computer. This serves as my Thunderbird email software but has another antivirus (Avast free) program, but I'm having the same problem.

  Finally, I tried bypassing Thunderbird by accessing my three email accounts from the web. Still not received the mails no reply. Would it be to say that Firefox is also involved?

  Obviously, * something * on both my think computers these emails 'no response' are spam or virus even. (Yet, I get spam every day a lot of other sites, go figure!) The only thing that the two computers have in common is Thunderbird and Firefox. The computer, I tap on the Windows XP Home with service pack 3 rums. The other computer running Windows7 Home.

  My last effort would move to Outlook from M$, and I really don't want to do that! Can anyone of you offer any help? I'm sorry that I'm not a geek and cannot re - program anything, but I will try very hard to understand what you're saying.

  Thank you in advance.

  Susan

  It is between the sender and your Inbox. That's all you can say. Your provider should be able to track your account and see if the message comes from their server.

  Thunderbird is a software email client. It runs on your computer and helps you manage your e-mail. It can not download messages that do not in your Inbox on your server vendors.

• How always show Images in Thunderbird for MacBook Pro

  I sent you an e-mail with an article on how to load remote images in your thunderbird. Please see the link below:
  http://www.ashout.com/always-show-images-or-remote-content-in-Thunderbird/
  This may work for a PC, but it does not work on my MacBook Pro. The 1st step is to go back to 'Options' and 'Options '. My Thunderbird software (this is the latest Version) does not have the file 'Options '. Can you translate PC instructions to "MACOS" instructions for me to always display images on my incoming emails?

  My Thunderbird software (this is the latest Version) doesn't have the 'Options '.

  It's 'Preferences' for Mac OS.

• Thunderbird on SharedComputer - how do I keep my private TB

  I use Thunderbird for my multiple e-mail accounts. It's a desktop computer family that others use. How can I keep my Thunderbird private? Is there something like a master PW I could use to open TB?

  Of course, I love TB, but this is a shared computer and I don't want anyone in my family, read my emails.

  In addition, us do not separate user accounts with Windows and really don't want to.

  Thanks for any help you can give!

  We do not use separate user accounts with Windows and really don't want to.

  You want privacy but do not want to use separate Windows user accounts. It will not work.
