Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi, I use thunderbird 140.6.0 esr for Linux (Debian 12 with KDE 5). After opening Thunderbird, I am asked for the password to retrieve mail. If I make a mistake when typing it in, I have no chance to correct the password and have to restart TB. There is a correction window for the SENT password.

Thunderbird says password or settings are incorrect for iCloud mail. I have tried everything AI suggested. I use a custom domain on icloud and I have even tried using the underlying icloud address as login. Nothing works. The app password is newly generated and I tried it with and without hyphens.

Please help

i use shaw email service with thunderbird on my macbook When I go to the usual place on my laptop to see my email it takes me to setting up new thunderbird account Where are all my email I did change my Shaw password awhile ago

Okay, I am trying to set up Thunderbird for my wife's service club's email (gmail account). It just will NOT recognize the password during the account setup. Everything goes along fine until the available configurations come up and I hit "Done" (same for either configuration + trying to use the "manual" function).

Pop up window opens that says "enter credentials" in the header, but page is blank. Alternately, if I exit setup but stay in program and then use the "new account" option, no pop up, but same as with popup, I get "Checking password" for an extended time and then error message about user name or password. I have verified we have the correct password by logging into gmail directly using it.

I am totally stumped here. The laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 running Win11 and Tbird version is140.4.0esr (64 bit)

I transferred Win 7 Thunderbird Profile (TB)to a Windows machine. It left behind all the other settings, such as when picking up/sending email, passwords are required at the IP to login, get email/send email.

QUESTION: Is there another TB area where the passwords are stored so I can copy those over to the new computer.

I posted this about a week ago, and when I come back, it's gone. That's why I am repeating myself.

A long timer ago, I was told by a user that Thunderbird does not need passwords. It does if you what to get your email. They are setting for each email user. There are 34 under the one TB.

I hope there is a transferable file because changing all the passwords and preference for each account would be the hard way.

I appreciate your taking the time to read this,

Hi, I'm surprised to find that by clicking several times on 'annull' on Tb sign-in, anyone using my PC gets access to my mails. The only way i've found to protect my mails is the password on Windows lock screen. I'd like to protect my mails as with other accounts eg Firefox password.

Thunderbird solutions don,'t give answers just the problems people are having it's so frustrating all I want is either a password reminder or reset , simple you may think but no Thunderbird make it difficult to contact and many just like me are going around in circles, please send me a reset via my e mail [edited email from community support forum] I've got my fingers crossed!!

Hello! Thunderbird keeps asking me for my password but it won't accept it. (My provider does accept it: the provider is BT - British Telecom.) Frequently I can't send email, when it does try to send it it takes ages: sometimes it sends, sometimes it won't. It's driving me bonkers! Can anyone help please?

I didn't have a very specific name (just a set of letters, like AGDFASSFGASD) for the full name for my mail, as I didn't think much of it. But one day, either I logged out myself, or the system threw me out of that mail. I'm trying to recover my mail by trying on the correct password and email, but I don't remember my full name and most likely because of this I can't log back in.

Will any of the moderators be able to contact me via another rambler email so that I can provide the email I'm having problems with? This mail is important to me now. I don't know exactly what happened to the mail, I just can't log in to it.

Thunderbird is not asking me for my password for the following addresses - [edited]@consultant.com , [edited]@mail.com and [edited]@mail.com
