Thunderbird Community Forum

Thunderbird stopped working. I received the following message - "Add Security Exception You are about to override how Thunderbird identifies this site. Legitimate banks, stores and other public sites will not ask you to do this. Location: smtp.optusnet.com.au:25 This site attempts to identify itself with invalid inforation The certificate belongs to a different site, which could mean that someone is trying to impersonate this site

Permanently store this exception"

I have clicked on 'Confirm Security Exception" but I still can't send or receive emails.

The increasing volume of spam is getting annoying. If I filter spam messages they get put aside, and that doesn't hurt the spammer. What I would like is a reject option so that the spammer gets a bounced email. that will really annoy him and perhaps 'encourage' him to not spam me.

I tried to open settings because I need to change account passwords. As soon as I open settings Thunderbird crashes after showing the settings page for half a second. Latest Thunderbird version under latest windows 11 version. Anyone else has this problem? Restarting the PC (miracle cure for problems under windows) did not solve the problem. Anyone else has this? Anyone knows a solution?

I cannot access my accounts passwords, so the problem is rather worrisome and urgent.
