Is there a bug in the code for v152? I need to connect to a ms office 365 email account with requires OAuth

The create new account process does not work, because it forces you to go through the whole (manual) process which then fails because you cannot select the Oauth option from Authentication method dropdown box - because its not there !.

This URL with the process to add OAuth: https://www.bing.com/search?pglt=419&q=setting+OAuth+in+thunderbird&cvid=22ed20c67b3843d58ddbc136bed2f174&gs_lcrp=EgRlZGdlKgYIABBFGDkyBggAEEUYOTIGCAEQABhAMgYIAhAAGEAyBggDEAAYQNIBCTExMjgyajBqN6gCCLACAQ&FORM=ANNTA1&PC=ASTS

fails at Step 2 because it does not let you complete to then go to Step 3 - because the account is never created !

How do I fix this ? thanks

I am getting a lot of phishing emails. They all come from email addresses from "onmicrosoft.com". These I can find pretty easy. The other thing they have in common is this URL/'server name' in the Message Header "send.workwithshadow.com".

Is there a way to search and/or filter for text in the Message Header?

Thanks, Walter Cook

When I try to forward email with attachment. I get a error message stating I dont have access for the attached file so every time I have to remove the attachment in the email and download the attachment from original email and attach to my email. Which is frustrating and time consuming process.

What I thick is there is storage path issue with my email setup.

Please assist to resolve this issue.

For about a week now I have been unable to send emails. Receiving them is fine. 1 had just said yes to the latest update. When I try to send I get this message - Sending of the message failed. An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Service unavailable; Client host [125.214.85.178] blocked using b.barracudacentral.org; http://www.barracudanetworks.com/reputation/?pr=1&ip=125.214.85.178. Please check the message recipient "reply-fe9515767360017975-18_HTML-75443594-7238404-12125@emails.avg.com" and try again.

I am 71, not technologically minded but am rather frustrated by this.

I hope you can help me out.

Thank you

Rita

My recollection is that prior to a recent automatic update to Thunderbird 140.12.1esr (64-bit) when I had a message composition window open, there were "SEND" button and possibly a "SEND LATER" button (to the left of the addressee and cc addresses in addition to the keyboard shortcuts (CTRL ENTER and CTRL SHIFT ENTER).

Following the update, there is no longer anything to the left of the addressee information. I have checked the toolbar menus, and there do not appear to be any button options. I can still send messages, but the lack of the buttons is a hindrance.

When Thunderbird -- Mozilla -- "killed off Messenger from within TBird" -- via the Messenger - Quick Access -- they damaged a LOT of loyal users.

Why hasn't Mozilla advised in plain clear English (well, and other languages) why this was done, and what happens to all the disenfranchised TBird users ?

Is there ANY chances of getting this back ?

Hi

I have set up Thunderbird with a Zimbra mail serveur (Zimbra serveur 10.1.10_GA_4785) using the EWS new feature of Thunderbird.

I can setup the EWS account. The test of the secured connection to the server is returned valid. But in the mailbox, the list of folder is empty, and I see no email. Interestingly, I can successfully send email from this thunderbird using the exchange server as sending server.

To resume, no emails are received, but sending emails works.

So, I check the request to the exchange server when starting a synchronization : Here the result : Request : <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:t="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/types"><soap:Header><t:RequestServerVersion Version="Exchange2010_SP2"/></soap:Header><soap:Body><GetFolder xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/exchange/services/2006/messages"><FolderShape><t:BaseShape>IdOnly</t:BaseShape></FolderShape><FolderIds><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="msgfolderroot"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="inbox"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="deleteditems"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="drafts"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="outbox"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="sentitems"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="junkemail"/><t:DistinguishedFolderId Id="archive"/></FolderIds></GetFolder></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

Anyone successfully used the new EWS feature with Zimbra server ?

PS : I confirm the EWS connection with the Zimbra serveur by successfully using EWS on Outlook for android.

Still having issues with Thunderbird on my Windows 11 laptop. I tried reinstalling the program but still locks up. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated Thanks Dave

Hello,

Everything working just fine last night. Wake up and Thunderbird will not retrieve emails.

Remembered this old message I got so I went through and deleted my second email address, didn't help.

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-yahoo

Checked all settings compared to Yahoo, still won't download messages. I can even send a message with my current settings no problem, and it does login, just won't retrieve emails. Gives me a connection timeout.

Anyone have any ideas?

I cant receive emails only send them. I receive an error message when starting Thunderbird "the current operation on inbox <my email address> did not succeed"

is there any way to perform a dynamic backup of Thunderbird. By that I mean a regular (e.g. daily) backup of the profile or at least the mailboxes using a scheduler without closing Thunderbird down?

I permanently deleted all my emails in my inbox and all the folders underneath is there a way to get them back? Can you force a download to this computer, [redacted]@peoplepc.com, from say 7-9-26? I am hoping to God you have a back up.... I lost so much stuff that I need.

I deleted my emails in my inbox (and several other folders by default), by accident. Can you download them back to my computer? [redacted] @peoplepc.com.... Please help. La Nae Duchesneau [redacted]

Thunderbird 152.0.1 Mac

After sending on one of 4 accounts in Thunderbird (Sky Mail), the "Filter Complete" modal will not shut down.

Cancel will override.

I'd like my Inbox appearance to be as it was before I updated to Windows 11. I find emails with Threads very confusing and time consuming and slows my performance. I prefer the simplicity of original Inbox way of showing incoming mail and NO threading. Can you help please?
