Desktop Thunderbird no longer downloads mail from Yahoo though it did until 2 weeks ago or so. Now when checking for mail, I only see a "Local Folders: Checking Inbox for new messages" (screenshot) that eventually disappears after a while with no download. I can still send messages out from Thunderbird through Yahoo. I have done the "Please check the following before asking for support" : 1. I can log into my Yahoo account via the web and am using the same password 2. I only have one Yahoo account; all the other accounts work fine 3. I can send mail from Thunderbird through my Yahoo account with no problem 4. OAuth2 is active and can successfully establish a secure connection (screenshot) 5. Cookies are enabled with no exceptions (screen shot) 6. I do not use a VPN 7. Version is 151.0 (screenshot) 8. I checked the Error Console messages when Checking Inbox was active (screenshot) but do not understand it

I blocked out information on non-Yahoo accounts and email subjects on screen shots

Years ago I used Thunderbird and for some reason stopped. I have a vague memory that there was a problem either with T-Bird itself or my installation of it. Can I see a demonstration before I elect to install Thunderbird now?

I have 4 gmail accounts in Thunderbird. The calendar shows items from all 4 accounts. My issue comes when setting up an invitation. Pretend my accounts are:

personal1@gmail.com personal2@gmail.com personal3@gmail.com business1@gmail.com

If I want to set up a meeting with invitations from business1@gmail.com, I select the account from the left side of the calendar list, then I create a new event on the day I want. The dialogue box correctly shows "business1@gmail.com in the Calendar drop down box at the top. I can then fill in title, location, category, time etc. But when I click on Invite Attendees, thunderbird has already added "personal1@gmail.com" as the first attendee and is waiting for me to enter the contact of the second attendee. If I add people and send it out, it goes from my "personal1" account and not my "business1" account and any replies come into "persoanl1". Same thing happens if I start by selecting the "personal2" or "personal3" accounts first in Calendar view. It always sets "personal1" as the organizer.

I can not figure out why Thunderbird is automatically using "personal1" as a default and sending from there. I am adding a screen shot to show what it looks like after adding an invitee.

I have 3 email accounts and I would like to download all three to one inbox. The only way I have found that I can do that is to have Gmail forward to my non gmail account which is currently set up as my main account. What is currently happening is I then am downloading duplicate emails, one from Gmail and one from the account the gmail was forwarded to.

Ideally I would just like to down load one copy of the email into my main inbox. TYIA Cindy

Tips for improving the calendar function of Thunderbird I use Thunderbird 151.0.1 (64-bits) on Windows 11.

1) In a weekly overview, I do NOT see a date for each day. I would

  really like that. Then I wouldn't have to count and calculate.
 The best place would be just next to the day so e.g. "saturday 12-5"
  p.s. keep in mind that according to the country there are different form
 in Europe 12-5 means the 12th of may, i understood in America it is different.
  or 12 + the first 3 letters of the month would also be fine "zaterdag 12 mei"

2) It is said that the travel time that I enter in my iPhone,

  for an appointment is also saved in iCloud.
  Unfortunately, I cannot see or create this in the Thunderbird 
  calendar.
  It would be nice if this were possible in a future version of 
  Thunderbird.

As of a few days ago, I have the latest thunderbird installed and can't say when this began happening, but despite it working for years with two gmail accounts, neither gmail account will now sync / connect and it has authorization issues.

I've then tried running thunderbird in a sandbox / uninstalling / reinstalling / deleting the user profile / registry entries, you name it...when setting up a gmail account in thunderbird, an error of "Authentication error. Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." come up, despite the password being verified as correct.

If I manually setup gmail using the gmail settings, of imap.gmail.com / port 993 and SSL / TLS and Oauth2, and do a test, I'm met with "Connection to server.imap.gmail.com:993 failed"

Nothing has changed on my computer in the time leading up to this not working. No windows updates performed...no changes to the firewall etc. You name it. I've checked it all.

Strange! Any ideas? Thanks!
