I recently downloaded and installed Thunderbird but forgot my primary password. Have tried the solutions available at the Mozilla website with no luck. I have also deleted the program and my Mozilla account, and started over from scratch. Still no luck.

We have 2 computers set up with Mozilla Thunderbird. On one of the 2, the outbound password was inadvertently changed. on the other of the 2, the outbound email works fine.

On the 1 the password was lost, I saw an option to view the password. I'd like to do that on the 1 that DOES work so I can re-enter the proper password.

Thank you,

How do I disable automatic translation of Thunderbird messages by Deep-L (or any other machine translator)? This morning I received an email from a family member, written in German. Underneath the original message was an automated translation into English by Deep-L. I didn´t ask for this translation. I speak German as a second language, as well as other languages, and I enjoy using my linguistic abilities. Furthermore, I don´t like my private messages being passed to a database without my permission. If I want a translation of a message, I´ll ask for it.

This is evidently a new, annoying feature. I had an email exchange in German with someone just a few weeks ago without this intervention. I have tried searching the settings tab on Thunderbird, but have not discovered anything about Translation settings (not under Language settings, as far as I can see).

How do I disable Thunderbird sending emails for unwanted translation? Thank you for your assistance.

Hi there, I created a self signed certificate for use with sending and receiving emails. However, when I try to send or receive I get the following error message: "Unknown Identity" The certificate is not trusted because it hasn't been verified as issued by a trusted authority using a secure signature." When I click "Confirm Security Exception" it just hangs. On the server side the error is: fatal bad certificate. SSL alert number 42 any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

The following Thunderbird error just started today for FOUR out of FIVE of my accounts. The error reads: "The stat command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded. Invalid credentials." Connection Security is: SSL/TLS Authentication Method is: OAuth2 Nothing was changed in several weeks.

I saw this error was posted before but NO ONE solved the problem.

Please help.

Regarding having correct settings for smtp server...After working fine for a couple of years, in May my Thunderbird email client starting getting an error when trying to send email, requiring having to wait and retry multiple times to get the email to send without getting the timeout error. I spent a lot of time in May to resolve without success, then a lot more time this month. I have tried several different settings for "Authentication method" and "Connection Security" The smtp settings specified by my email provider, WOW, either don't match the Thunderbird options, or result in error. A different set of settings I tried seem to work, as well as a variation of what a WOW rep emailed to me in May. However I wonder if either of these settings cause any security issues to be concerned about--that is my main question now, since sending email seems to be working fine again.

1) The other week I set smtp server settings to Authentication method: Normal password Connection Security: STARTTLS That has been working fine for a couple weeks without error. However since WOW says they don't support STARTTLS is that a problem to specify those settings?

2) What one WOW rep specified in May on a screen shot with a handwritten note: Authentication method: Normal password Connection Security: None However when I specify "Connection Security: None" the only option allowed for Authentication method is: "Password, transmitted insecurely." Email seems to work without error with those settings. However is "Password, transmitted insecurely" a problem? Or is that OK? (Transmitted Insecurely doesn't sound reassuring!)

In multiple calls and hours of time with my email provider, WOW, they say they don't have any information about what the settings should be for Thunderbird, and despite their efforts have not been very helpful. Attached is some information they have provided on different occasions, or from the web site. Screen shot -- Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings Standard POP3 Server information Email Server Settings

I am nearly 73 years old, and well affected by Parkinson's Syndrome and vision AND am loosing my ability to walk, rtalk, and see. I don't recall fiddly details anywhere as well as in the past.

I think it would be an advantage to see what I am typing. The simplest error with a password can wreak havoc with one's time and sense of self. If there is something I can adjust, or if a brief bit of coding may well be a splendid help.

I have email filters set-up to delete any emails from senders who are not in my address book. However, if the email is missing the sender ("From:" tag missing) the email is retained. I would like an option to create a filter based on missing "From:" tag. This would help protect users from scams and junk emails.

Hi,

is it correct that Thunderbird has marked as Linux in Gmail authorized devices?

And is it correct that now Thunderbird shows a window where I have to insert my gmail credentials in order to add/use the account?

Thank you very much.

I have updated Thunderbird to the latest version and created an exception to accept cookies from Google by entering https://accounts.google.com in the appropriate field.

However, upon restarting Thunderbird I still get the message "Login to server imap.googlemail.com with username monikawalteris@gmail.com failed."

Please tell me what else I need to do. I love Thunderbird and would hate to use Outlook or, worse, have to open a browser each time I want to check/write emails.

I am unable to sign in, it asks for my gmail password which I give, and it is correct, but I am unable to sign in and I keep keep the enter your password again and again. I am able to sign into my gmail on this computer through gmail directly, and also on my iPhone so I know my password is correct. I have been using Thunderbird for years and would like to continue to do so.
