The Hilton hotel reservation produces the following .ics file (with some edits for privacy), which fails on import. Deleting lines like the second block will import correctly. I can make this edit when needed, so this is more of a bug report than a question. I have not tried to narrow it down more, this is something I do once every couple of months.

Hello,

Need To Know:

I have used Thunderbird (TBird) for many years. Recently, I moved TBird data from a Dell Inspiron 530 Win 7, to Alien Arora 1250. Unfortunately, the passwords would not go, so I copy and pasted the data for 10 email addresses. All worked well, until 5 days ago when I could not log into the ISP.

Since then, 12 ISP tech support people gave me 12 different was to fix the login problem. The 'logging in' kept trying to login. The only way to stop it is to close TB and restart it. The same happens with all 10 accounts - can't login.

I followed instructions to the letter and nothing worked. Later, a tech at ISP said they have had a lot of complaints from people with Tbird and said it's Mozilla's fault. They all said they don't support Thunderbird. They only support webmail. One even suggested I delete all my cookies. Of course I'm not going to do that.

You would not believe the amount of crazy ideas I was given.

Here is the core problem:

I used both Pop and IMAP depending on the email account. TBird was great with POP and IMAP either.

I changed all the passwords as instructed. I followed the Step-x-Step settings on the ISP web site

The ISP, Rogers, took over Shaw. Rogers, I'm told, dropped support for 3rd party email clients and requires customers to create a new email on their Webmail host. Webmail is WEBmail because it is not Email.

Testing Out TBird:

1. On the old Win 7 TBird (Ver. 68.1.1 (32-bit)) Email works with both POP and IMAP settings.
2. On the new Rig, Tbird (V. 147.0 (64-bit)) worked for a while.

What Happens: -- Due to the issues, I set Tbird to not:, -- Check for new messages at startup -- Check for new messages every -- Automatically download new messages -- Fetch headers only

The two ISP are Rogers Rogers and Shaw <--- just redirects to Rogers. But webmail.shaw.ca still works.

My Rig with the issues: Alienware Aurora Desktop 1250 Intel i9 Ultra Nvidia RTS 5080 Memory 32 GB DDR5 Storage 2 TB SSD + 2Tb HDD Thunderbird Version-147.0 (64-bit)

Is the ISP correct, that Thunderbird may be the core problem?

Thanks for your volunteering - where would we be without you, ~r

Add outlook email account in Thunderbird app on Macbook does not strictly go through microsoft 2-step verification process. In stead, microsoft verification window flashes away instantly and Thunderbird window takes over. Although OAut2 is specified, the set up is not right. Sending email from outlook account takes about one minutes. Sometimes if it takes longer time, sending email will fail.

All the folders, Inbox included, disappeared from one of my outlook accounts. It's OK everywhere else so I decided to remove and re-add the account in Thunderbird but now I can't add it again.

I get the error. "Authentication failed. Please check the username and password Exchange auth error"

I know the Username and Password is correct.

Solution appreciated, please.
