Emails not being received

Emails not being sent

How to Get Help from Thunderbird Support?
1. Start With the Thunderbird Help Center
The easiest place to begin is the official Thunderbird Help Center. It contains searchable articles and troubleshooting instructions for many common problems.
Instead of searching for a general phrase such as “Thunderbird help,” use a description of the exact issue.
For example, you can search for:
-
Thunderbird login not working
-
Thunderbird keeps asking for password
-
Thunderbird cannot send email
-
Thunderbird cannot receive messages
-
Thunderbird email not syncing
-
Thunderbird authentication failed
-
Thunderbird account setup problem
-
Thunderbird connection error
The Help Center allows users to browse popular topics or search for specific questions and articles.
2. Check the Password and Sign-In Section
If your problem involves accessing an email account, check the Passwords and Sign In resources.
Thunderbird provides information about saved passwords, Primary Password, OAuth2 authentication, and other sign-in topics.
A password or login problem can happen because:
-
Your email password was recently changed.
-
Thunderbird has an outdated saved password.
-
Your provider requires OAuth authentication.
-
Account credentials are incorrect.
-
Authentication settings have changed.
-
Thunderbird cannot reach the required authentication service.
If you have forgotten your actual email-provider password, Thunderbird's documentation explains that the password must be recovered or changed through the mail provider's system.
3. Search the Email and Messaging Resources
For problems involving sending, receiving, attachments, folders, or synchronization, use Thunderbird's Email and Messaging section.
The official resources include dedicated information about sending and receiving email, attachments, account configuration, profiles, and other messaging features.
For example, if Thunderbird cannot receive messages, first check your connection and account configuration. If it cannot send messages, review the outgoing account settings and any error message displayed by the application.
4. Check the Accounts Section
Account problems can prevent Thunderbird from connecting to your email provider correctly.
Check:
-
Email address
-
Username
-
Incoming server
-
Outgoing server
-
Authentication method
-
Connection security
-
Saved credentials
Thunderbird supports automatic account configuration for many email providers, while manual configuration is also available when automatic setup does not work.
If you recently created an account or moved Thunderbird to another computer, mention that information when requesting support.
5. Review Performance and Connectivity Help
If Thunderbird is slow, freezing, failing to connect, or behaving unexpectedly, check the Performance and Connectivity section.
Thunderbird's support resources include Troubleshoot Mode, which can help determine whether add-ons or customized settings are contributing to a problem.
If Thunderbird works normally in Troubleshoot Mode but the problem returns during normal startup, include that information in your support question.
How to Get Help With Thunderbird Login Issues?
Login problems can have several different causes, so start by identifying what happens when you try to access the account.
Check the Password
If Thunderbird repeatedly asks for a password, verify whether the password was recently changed.
Thunderbird can save account credentials in its Password Manager. If the stored password is outdated, the application may continue requesting authentication.
Check Authentication
Some email providers use OAuth-based authentication. Thunderbird has dedicated OAuth2 resources for supported authentication scenarios.
If an authentication window appears, follow the instructions and make sure you are using the correct account.
Record the Error
If Thunderbird displays an error such as authentication failure or inability to connect, copy the exact wording.
Providing the complete error is much more helpful than simply saying that Thunderbird login does not work.
How to Fix Thunderbird Email Problems?
Emails Are Not Being Received
If new messages are missing, check whether Thunderbird is connected to the internet and whether the account is online.
You can also compare Thunderbird with your email provider's webmail. If messages appear in webmail but not in Thunderbird, the problem may involve synchronization or account configuration.
Thunderbird provides dedicated resources for users who cannot receive messages.
Emails Are Not Sending
If an email remains in the Outbox, check the internet connection and outgoing-server configuration.
Thunderbird also provides a dedicated resource for common problems with sending messages.
If an error appears while sending, save the exact error and include it in your support request.
Attachments Are Not Working
If Thunderbird cannot send a message containing a large attachment, the mail server may have an attachment-size limitation.
Thunderbird provides Filelink functionality and support information for handling large attachments.
Try sending a smaller attachment to determine whether the problem is related specifically to file size.
How to Ask the Thunderbird Community for Help?
If the Help Center does not resolve your problem, Thunderbird's official support page allows users to submit a question to the support community.
A useful support question should explain:
Problem: Thunderbird cannot send email.
Operating system: Your operating system
Thunderbird version: Your installed version
Email provider: Your provider
Error message: Exact error displayed
What you tried: Troubleshooting steps already completed
This gives community members enough information to understand your situation and suggest relevant troubleshooting steps.
What Information Should You Include?
Thunderbird Version
Include the exact Thunderbird version you are using. Thunderbird's support guidance recommends including the application version when requesting help.
Operating System
Mention whether you use Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Email Provider
Identify the provider associated with the affected account.
Exact Error
Copy the complete error message whenever possible.
Recent Changes
Mention whether the problem started after:
-
A password change
-
A Thunderbird update
-
A new account setup
-
A computer change
-
A security-setting change
-
A configuration change
Troubleshooting Already Tried
Explain what you have already attempted.
This helps support contributors avoid repeating steps that you have already completed.
How to Use Troubleshoot Mode Before Asking for Help?
Troubleshoot Mode can be useful when Thunderbird behaves strangely or an add-on may be interfering with normal operation.
Thunderbird's official support information recommends Troubleshoot Mode as a way to narrow down certain problems.
If the issue disappears in Troubleshoot Mode, mention that result in your support question.
For example:
“The account works normally in Troubleshoot Mode, but the problem returns when Thunderbird starts normally.”
This gives the support community a useful clue.
Does Thunderbird Have Phone Customer Service?
Be careful when searching online for Thunderbird customer-service phone numbers.
Mozilla's official Thunderbird support documentation states that it does not provide telephone support and warns users about technical-support scams.
For product questions, Thunderbird directs users to its Support Website, where they can search for answers or submit a new question if they cannot find one.
Do not provide your password, authentication code, recovery information, or remote computer access to an unknown person claiming to be Thunderbird support.
