It only is on the outbound (SMTP) side and is intermittent, which is to say that 95% of the time when sending I get the timeout message, but 5% of the time the messages actually go through. I began having this problem about 5 days ago. I am not 'guest' but I am having this problem. The e-mails go out like they are supposed to and arrive at their destination, but the problem is I get a box that says 'Copying message to sent folder' when I send it that just keep on running the scroll bar forever, without end. Outgoing I have using the same setting as my other e-mail program (.com Port: 587) It half works. Another Thunderbird e-mail account on this computer seems to work fine. Am now doing a complete reinstall of Thunderbird (including new profile) and can't get this account running. After that, I briefly had it working but it somehow got screwed up. I used to be able to get e-mails from this same account, but then the account changed servers. I am using anti virus and firewall, CA Anti-Virus and CA Firewall. It's from GoDaddy and has a web based option at least. Gene Smith created a associated with that thread.Not the original poster, but I have the same problem:

Once Thunderbird gets a feel for how long it might take, Thunderbird can then simply adjust mailnews.tcptimeout or mailnews.tcptimeout_append if there is a good reason to have a second parameter (I like to keep things simple). What he should do is if the user attempts to transfer a message greater than 3Mb or if a number of messages are concerned, where at least one of them is greater than 3Mb, before the copy/move of large message(s), Thunderbird should test the transfer with a large message or a 1024Kbyte IMAP payload and measure the time it takes to get that across without a timeout.

The path from the user's computer where Thunderbird is running can traverse firewalls, proxies, routers, switches and other appliances before it even gets to the destination IMAP server. He seems to be suggesting that another parameter be created called mailnews.tcptimeout_append but this is just another static timer which I feel won't resolve issues for users because every user's environment is different. Gene Smith created a IMAP APPEND bug associated with that thread. Is there a way for me to get to this setting in the current version of Thunderbird? This would suggest that Outlook Live is not timing me out as the server is still taking in the large email message.

See Īfter a few minutes, I also notice that the single large email message eventually makes its way to Outlook Live because I can eventually see the email message and even download the large attachments from it. Once upon a time in a very early iteration of Thunderbird, the IMAP connection timeout was configurable. This single email message copy operation timed out. So I sort my local folder by size and noticing that Thunderbird is reporting the largest email message I have is 27Mb, I started experimenting by copying a single large email message first. Microsoft's IMAP migration tips also indicate that the largest email message they will happily accept is 35Mb. Researching the issue a little more, I find that timeouts normally occur when copying large messages.

I always get to around 227 email messages before the copy operation also times out. Next, I tried Microsoft Outlook Live (or ). I get to around 10-11 messages and then Thunderbird reports back that the connection timed out. Based on my second experience (see below), it appears Apple iCloud server side has a very very short timeout value. Managing the potential risk of losing messages, I decided I would copy the emails from the local folder to a new folder on the destination IMAP email account.Īt first, I tried Apple iCloud. I'm trying to move 5000+ email messages from a local folder to an IMAP service.
