Hi all,

I cannot log in with a certain work account in Thunderbird any more, due to a failure that occurs during the OAuth process (error 530084).

While checking internally, we noted that the login information that Thunderbird is providing does not provide the Device Platform, state or identifier. I assume that this is data obfuscation done for privacy reasons but is there a way to disable it for on a device, specific account etc.?

Thank you for the assistance in this matter.

I've been using Thunderbird for years (Windows 11 PC), and all has been working fine as recently as last night. Starting this morning, I continuously get the error message, "Login to server mail.comcast.net with user name xxx failed" (xxx not my actual account name). I've tried the "Retry" and "Enter New Password" options to no avail. I can go directly to the Comcast website, login and get my email that way, but I can't get Thunderbird to login.

To my knowledge, nothing changed between last night and today, but yet something seems to have happened. Any ideas appreciated!
