The email client doesn\u2019t connect to the server. The problem can fix by using the correct password and checking server settings.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes users complain of being unable to delete messages. It may occur because of a corrupted trash folder. It may possible that Thunderbird freezes. You can re-launch the application to fix the issue. The freezing problem makes the application slow.<\/p>\n<p>Thunderbird has IMAP server errors that occur because of the configuration of the IMAP server like Courier-IMAP.<\/p>\n<p>Thunderbird issues are difficult to tackle sometimes because there are no active platforms from where you can ask for help. However, you can contact Mozilla through Facebook while facing technical issues on Thunderbird. Its team may reply to you.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softaken.com\/guide\/move-mozilla-thunderbird-mailbox-to-new-computer\/\">move Thunderbird data<\/a>, manual and automated solutions can help you.
