My thunderbird mail client sent an e-mail while I was still working on it. Why?

My draft e-mail was up on my screen. I walked away. Upon my return, I found the e-mail in my sent folder. It was not in any other folder.

Maybe not ghosts. The only potential reasons apart from human intervention for what you wrote I can think of off the top of my head:
* Some TB extension sending message.
* Malware on your machine (Windows? Do you have current AV software running?).
* Some weird bug in TB.

  • Why use mail client over web site mail inteface?

    Hello.
    I had question to all emial client user's:
    Why use mail client over web site mail inteface?
    And I have one more question.
    Is there any option to backup/compress your mail in mutt or thunderbird?

    Do you use header caching? It can accelerate remote imap access, but is disabled by default. Also playing with imap_idle (yes, if server supports), imap_keepalive (low) and timeout (high) may produce nice results.
    i've tried everything (always caching, and setting various imap_* options).  trust me.  it's funny, it wasn't bad at first, then one day i'd hit j/k and 3 seconds later the indicator would move... that's when i set up offlineimap.
    I'm very happy with this maildir setup now .  thanks anyway tho.
    OMG, mutt is flying right now! Even with header and message cache is mutt + imap not the fastest. I reccomend offlineimap for everyone.

  • Win 8.1 2010 Outlook Error message: "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill..."

    When trying to open Outlook in Win 8.1 I get the error message: 
    "Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client."
    It eventually opens but none of my Mail accounts load. When I click on one of the accounts I get 
    "Cannot expand the folder. Internet mail is not registered properly. Re-install and try again."
    Outlook is set with all its defaults. I've tried going through the Repair routine for Microsoft Office but it doesn't help.

    Hi,
    To delete a profile, you may try the steps below:
    Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps

  • Either there is no default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request-----error Outlook 2010

    I've tried EVERYTHING suggested in this link (http://blog.timolthof.com/outlook-no-default-mail-client-error/) and everything google and bing and still this message keeps popping up.  Now when I do a windows search for email, I'm not able to view
    the email due to this message.
    For the record, I am running W7 Ultimate x64 and connected via Excange Server.  I do have another system that is running Office 2010 with none of these problems so I don't know if it's related to Exchange though the searches I've done don't allude
    to that.
    What's up?

    Hi,
    I understand that when you tried to open Outlook 2010 beta on the Windows 7 64-bit computer, you encountered the following error:
    "Either there is not default mail client of the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and
    set it as the default mail client."
    You have checked the settings under the registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Clients\Mail\Microsoft Outlook
    I understand the inconvenience you have encountered and appreciate the time and effort you spent on this issue. Please be assured that I
    will try my best to help you.
    Now let’s troubleshoot the issue by the suggestions below. Please check the results after each suggestion until the problem is resolved.
    Suggestion 1: manually set Outlook 2010 as the default e-mail client on Windows 7:
    ===================
    1.      
    Click Start.
    2.      
    Type "default programs" in the
    Search box.
    3.      
    Click Default Programs under
    Programs in the search results.
    4.      
    Now click Set your default programs.
    5.      
    Highlight Microsoft Outlook on the left.
    6.      
    Click Set this program as default.
    7.      
    Click OK.
    Suggestion 2: Start the Outlook program in safe mode
    ==============
    1.      
    Click Start, point to All Programs, and then point to
    Microsoft Office.
    2.      
     Press and hold the CTRL key, and then click the Outlook program you want to start.
    If the problem does not occur in the safe mode, this issue might be related to some third-party add-ins in the Outlook program, we can try
    to disable them. Normally, you could do the following to disable the conflict add-ins in your Outlook program:
    Disable add-ins
    Click
    File menu, click Options > 
    Add-in, click Go button in the Manage:
    Com-in Add.
    Check if there are any add-ins,
    clear the checkbox to disable them.
    Close the Office program and
    restart it.
    Add one check back each time to the list of Add-In,
    restart the Office program, and repeat the above procedure. Once the issue reappears again, we can determine which add-in causes this problem and then disable it.
    Suggestion 3: Test the issue with a new Windows user account
    ==============
    We can follow the steps in the articles to create a new user account to test the issue. If the problem does not occur in the new user account, some settings
    in the old account are corrupted. We can copy the main user files from the old account to the new account, delete the old account, and then continue using the new account.
    For the detailed steps on how to create a new user account and copy data from the old account to the new account, you can refer to the following articles:
    For Windows Vista/Windows 7:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Create-a-user-account
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile
    Please take your time to try the suggestions and let me know the results at your earliest convenience. . If anything is unclear or if there
    is anything I can do for you, please feel free to let me know.

  • Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run ...

    Lync 2013 generates repeated messages stating “Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail client.”. Events that
    seem to generate messages is disconnecting and re-connecting to a network but it also happens randomly and the messages will stack up during a working day. Everything seem to work OK but it is an annoyance.  The computer is upgraded (uninstalled first)
    from Office 2013 ProPlus to Office 365 ProPlus. Outlook (Desktop) is default mail client. 64-bit Windows 8.1 Enterprise, 64-bit Office (both before upgrade and after).  
    (Links removed to remediations I've tried)
    Made no difference what so ever and the messages continue. What's next? 
    I posted the above to the Office 2013 forum (unfortunately I'm not allowed yet to post a link to that posting) but due to the fact that the computer affected by this is a networked domain computer I've been redirected to this group instead.  I
    was asked some additional questions ing the other forum regarding the problem: 
    Are you able to send mails from other applications like Word or Excel?
    NO
    Is the PC connected to any Domain/Server? YES
    Is this an issue with one PC only. NO - affects all computers that once had Office 2013 Pro Plus installed and now has Office 365 Pro Plus (Originally I posted this question in the Office 365 community but was directed to first the Office
    2013 forum and now this forum)
    Right click on any file and Click on Send to-> Mail Recipient and check if you are able to send mails using Outlook.
    NO
    Also check if the Lync add-in is enabled in Outlook.
    Start Outlook
    Click the File tab.
    Go to Options.
    Click Add-ins.
    Check if the Lync add-in is enabled. YES
    My last posting in the other forum contained the following additional information regarding our problem: 
    As far as we can see installing 32-bit Office 365 Pro Plus using click to run makes no difference. 
    We do not send any mails from Lync, Lync is however the process that generates the message most frequently (as Lync seem to react upon network events).
    Other processes that have Outlook plugins may also be the parent of the message popup (third party applications). 
    Yes the Lync add-in is enabled. Lync functionality in/from Outlook seem unaffected. 
    It is not possible to send emails from other applications (explorer, word, excel etc.) ie. right clicking and send to generates the messages and
    a follow up error message concerning lack of MAPI enabled e-mail.

  • Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot .....

    Windows7 Ultimate 64 bits, Office 2013 32 bits.
    My issue is that running Outlook 2013 I get the message
    Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfil the message request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
    OK, so this should be straight forward:
    I set outlook at the default mail client and associate all file with it from Outlook\File\Option.  Nope.  That does not work.
    I go through default programs and set the default mail client as Office 2013 and associate all file with it from Outlook.   Nope.  That does not work.
    I check the registry and it shows that the 64 bit or 32 bit reversion is the default mail client.  So that does not help.
    I install the 64 bit version instead of the 32 bit version. Nope.  That does not work.
    I clean the registry and temp file.  Nope.  That does not work.
    I tried: Uninstalled with the Microsoft
    fix uninstall and reinstall. This does not work.
    Contact the phone technical support. This
    does not work.
    Addin,s does not work. Adobe, iCloud Addin ....  does not work.
    'Send email to'   menu   does not work.
    No application communicates with
    Outlook, no Microsoft  or third  apps.
    I can only send and receive emails
    from within Outlook.
    This program is lousy, any
    possibility that my money back.
    Thanks
    Has anyone got any ideas?   All the suggested fixes on this forum do not fix this issue.

  • Mac Mail client sent messages not on iPhone (Yahoo mail)

    I have been having this issue for a while now and it's driving me crazy. Whenever I send a message on my Mac Mail client (using 2010 MacBook white unibody), the sent message does NOT show on my iPhone 5 in the mail app sent folder. I have tried everything I could find to fix this. The Mac Mail settings are set to save the emails on the server and it's set up on Mac Mail as IMAP. My outgoing mail server on my iPhone is set to Yahoo SMTP server.
    Strangely enough, emails I send from my iPhone DO show in the sent box on my Mac Mail just not the other way around. Anyone have any insight?

    Hi there,
    I have the same problem. I kept a watch to see what was happening exactly when I send the mail, and this happened right in front of my eyes: The mail goes and leave the outbox.. it goes into the 'sent' mailbox.. and after a few minutes , it disappears and goes into the trash. It happens not on all mails, but randomly on a few..
    After some research, I came to find this and was exactly the problem:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2339555&start=15&tstart=0
    it appears that the client 'mail' has a problem in the synchronization with Imap, or any related accounts that is to be synchronized with a distant server account.
    I don't know why Apple is not doing anything because this problem appears for some time now, and mail is getting the worst mail client on the market (can't even protect an account with an access pwd to prevent mails from being seen on a shared mail client ) It would be time that Apple really upgrades the most basic and necessary soft on a computer.

  • I need a new mail client for MS Exchange Mail- Entourage is slow

    Does anyone know if there is a mail client for Mac that can access MS Exhange Server mail? I am running MS Office Entourage 04 on a MacBook Pro with 2GB RAM (max). Entourage will work fine (using Rosetta) but occasionally hangs and is sluggish. If I can type faster than a computer thinks there is a problem (my typing is bad).

    Aside from Apple's own Mail application, and it's limited support for Exchange servers, I don't think there are any other apps...

  • E75 Mail Client v.s. new Mail for Exchange 3.0 in ...

    Hi, my E75 (202.12.01) include mail client 2.1, but now Nokia homepage publish the mail for exchange 3.0. should I update my E75? Thanks!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Simply, if you log into the Ovi Store website and have set it up with your phone details, when you search for the MfE 3.0 application, it states that it is not compatible with the E75.
    Between this and the lack of Ovi Maps 3.03 for the E75, I am beginning to think that we have been forgotten... Here's hoping the upcoming firmware resolves these issues.

  • Can I connect open source evolution mail client to an OCS Mail Server?

    Hi.
    I'm trying to configure an evolution mail client to connect to OCS Mail Server. The idea would be to evaluate this solution over costly MS Outlook. I'm aware that Oracle provides a connector for outlook client and that this facility might offer certain functionality not available with other mail clients. So far, i can connect, send and receive mails. However i can't access the distribution list in Oracle Mail Server, or put in other words, i can't access the OID. Evolution offers the option to connect to an ldap server, but i've not been able to connect. The guys as Metalink tell me that if this client can connect to an ldap server one could accessed the distribution list in OID.
    So :
    - Has anyone out there tried to connect this mail client or any other open source mail client to OCS Mail Server?.
    - Can evolution client really connect to an ldap server? one like OID?.
    Thanks in advance ...!

    Hello Luis!
    I have in the past used different mail clients to connect to the OCS. So as a fact as long as they speak POP3 or IMAP you should be capable of reading your mails.
    However I did not try to use the distribution lists.
    What exactly is not working with the connection to the OID (LDAP) from the Evolution client?
    Did you try to set the logging in the OID to a higher value? This helped me lots of times when dealing with OID problems.

  • Mail not sent from iphone mail app

    I tried to send a mail through the mail app through my gmail account. Was shocked that the mail was not sent nor I can find it in any of "sent" or "draft" boxes. And the very disappointing thing about this problem is that there was no errors, and I just knew about 12 hours later from the expected recipient that he did not receive my mail.
    #SHOCKING
    I hate iOS 7, thus I mat start to hate iPhone and Apple.

    Has the Mobile Me account been set up on your iPhone as POP rather than IMAP? If it has been set up as POP then any message sent will not be mirrored. Your Mobile Me account should also be configured as IMAP on all your devices in order to see those messages in your Sent Items folder.
    The idea of IMAP is to be device independent such that whatever you do is mirrored on all your devices as they each synchronize with Mobile Me. I suppose you could view the Mobile Me "cloud" as being the main repository. If you delete a message from your Inbox via your iPhone, the next time you connect your Mac that message will not appear in the associated Inbox in Mail.
    Does that make sense?

  • Font size changes randomly inside mail received (sent with Mac Mail)

    Hello! Here is a random issue on Mac Mail Leopard, seems few people already experimented the issue but no one found a correct solution:
    When i send a mail to somebody, we can randomly notice a change of the font size (from 9px to 12px) in the received mail. This appears mostly in sentences after others sentences containing some bold text.
    Note that I use the Calibri font, which is correctly set for the whole mail.
    Appart from starting to write inside the signature to avoid any problem, i didn't find a way yet to fix that issue. But I imagine that if it would be a bug in the software, Apple would have fix it for decades ?..
    So anyone could give an explanation? Thank u!

    Thanks baltwo and Tom. I'll try sending as a PDF file as well.
    Also, I did a test per Tom's instructions about reformatting text. First, I copied text from another email and then pasted it in a new message. I highlighted all the text where I wanted to increase the text size and left one paragraph unchanged.
    I sent the email to the recipient that's having these issues where she replied back with my forwarded email.
    All the text where I increased the point size shrunk and the text that I left alone was actually okay - Weird! I also noticed that the font style changed on their end. By the way, the recipient uses Microsoft Outlook as their email browser.
