Changed hotmail password, now confronted by oauth2 "enter credentials" window. This is blank, no further action occurs, no information can entered into it. Windows 11, TB 137.0.2, cookies accepted, javascript on.

Hi, I recently had an office location change and post that in my office laptop, Thunderbird cannot authenticate with outlook and collect mails from it. IT team tried syncing the password from their end, and we tried a million other things like checking server settings in Thunderbird etc, but nothing is working. It just says "connecting to outlook.office365.com...." and is stuck there.

Hello,

Please could you help me as I can't send emails. The error message I receive is as below.

I have logged into Telstra mail and can send messages from there so the problem is with Thunderbird according to the Telstra technician.

Thanks so much.

About every five minutes, this message pops up obliterating anything I'm doing on my computer, whether in email or on the internet and I have to go to the task bar and highlight Thunderbird until that message appears on the task bar, then I can delete. Many times, it immediately comes right back on the screen and I have to do it a second time.

                                      'Mozilla Thunderbird wants to Access your Google Account'

                                                                 My Gmail Address Appears here

                                                          This will allow Mozilla Thunderbird Email to:

                                              See, edit, share and permanently delete all the calendars
                                              you can access using Google Calendar

                       By clicking Allow, you allow this app and Google to use your information in accordance
                       with their respective privacy policies.  You can change this and other account
                        permissions anytime.

But you CAN'T change anything like it says.

These are most annoying and come up at the most inopportune times when I'm trying to work on something on my computer and it obliterates the entire screen.

Hello!

I use Thunderbird to access the old ALT newsgroups for Star Trek content. All of a sudden, messages appear in the top window, but when I select one the content will not appear in the reading pane. Likewise, if I double-click on the message same thing, another window pops up but it is blank.

So far I have uninstalled and reinstalled TB twice. Ran a full Norton system scan

Please advise. Thanks! MB

Recipient does receive my sent e-mails using spectrum webmail. Spectrum webmail can send and receive e-mails. Thunderbird can receive, but, cannot send. Sending and receiving to following domain @hawaii.gov. Any ideas why this is so? Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hello! I am using thunderbird to collect my tasks directly from emails, and it is a great product. When I update it to a new version (v138.0.2), unfortunately, I can not open the links (like mid:*****) created in the tasks. This problem did not occur previously.

Regards!

Whole thing running very slowly. Keeps trying to compact folders, Inbox I think,. Have about 88 000 messages in Inbox. Could just delete older ones, say older than a year. Any simple way of doing that?

I'm using T'bird on windows 11 to access mail from my Zoho mail account and all of a sudden I'm getting this message: "login to server pop.zoho.com with user name x failed". This happens from time to time and eventually clears.

I get the option to retry or enter new password, if I retry I get this message: "sending of user name did not succeed. Mail server pop.zoho.com responded: user already specified."

Entering a new password doesn't help and the password is saved anyway.

I don't get the "user already specified"?

All the settings are still the same before this happened and T'bird was working and it's up to date.

No, I can't do a screenshot of the messages for some reason.

Thunderbird has started opening a "Reply to sender with a copy to myself" e-mail when I double click to open an e-mail. If I actually send a reply, the original e-mail disappears from my Inbox. How do I stop this? Thanks.

I have what someone else called "gibberish" at the beginning of my e-mails. I do not wish to have it so how do I get rid of it?

It includes the following topics: X-Mozilla-Status X-Mozilla-Status2 Return -Path Recived X-SW-ORIG-RCPT

and  much more

I often keep hard copies of my emails and do not wish to print the gibberish. I never used to get this gibberish and why is it now being sent?

I installed and set up Thunderbird on my Mac in order to create a backup for a Yahoo/AT&T email account which I may be getting rid of. I used the imap configuration and connected just fine, everything downloaded and I see that the number of messages in my inbox is in the thousands (yes, I'm a person who saves everything in my email, please don't judge). The synchronization and storage are set to synch all messages locally regardless of age and don't delete any messages. However, when I search for old messages in my inbox, it produces no results. When I scroll through the inbox, the oldest message I can see is about 7 months old. There is plenty of storage on the computer. Any advice on how to get access to the older messages and how to make them searchable? Is there a limit to how many messages Thunderbird can display in the inbox? The whole point was to create a searchable backup of everything for when I get rid of the email account. Thanks!

I accidentally deleted the emails in the all mail folder and now everything is gone from in box and sent. I have unsubscribed from the all mail tab. I have also tried the suggestions given in the help section. Nothing is helping. Can you please help? Thanks, Sue sthist.st@gmail.com

When I receive an e-mail that has a JPEG attachment (Windows 10 Professional 64-bit), Thunderbird opens the JPEG image with Microsoft Photo Viewer. When the image opens, I cannot rotate the image. If I save the image and then open that saved image via the same Microsoft application, the rotate icon in the upper left is operative. Is this due to the permissions in the image being opened by Thunderbird from alt/local/temp? Thanks.

Hello, I still have this problem, does anyone know how to fix this?

Cannot delete a folder under my Local Folder. I have deleted it several times, and deleted the trash also, but no matter how many times I delete the folder, and restart Thunderbird, it still comes back.

Thanks, GDR
