For years I have had 4 email addresses using Thunderbird to access email from Yahoo AT&T currently.com email (@att.net) using Oauth2. In early March, two of the email addresses stop working. For one of the email addresses I was able to login to Yahoo mail using the User ID and Access ID and establish a new Secure Mail Key. I then went back to Thunderbird and reentered the email address with the new Secure Mail Key and was able to reestablish connection. For the second email address, Yahoo mail locked me out. I have tried to contact Yahoo support for 2 weeks by filling out their forms and have not received a response. Also I do not have a Recovery Email address. Any suggestions ?

My husband, Nils Peter Mickelson, died recently. He was making a monthly donation to Thunderbird. I have been unable to cancel the donation online. His email is n.p.mickelson@ieee.org. Thank you for your help. Marianna

tried Click the blue “Settings” button at the bottom of the home screen. 2. A new left sidebar appears. 3. In that sidebar, click Account Settings. • This is the real place where accounts can be removed. 4. Now you should see a window with your email account listed on the left. 5. Click the top line of your email address (not Server Settings, not Copies & Folders). 6. Look at the bottom left corner. 7. You should now see Account Actions ▾. 8. Choose Remove Account. tried ✔ Do this to reveal “Account Actions” 1. Look again at the left column. 2. Find the line that shows your actual email address. • It will NOT say “Email.” • It will NOT say “Local Folders.” • It will look like: yourname@provider.com 3. Click that line once. 4. Now look at the bottom left corner. 5. You should now see: Account Actions ▾ 6. Click it → Remove Account.

Meine Adresse wurde gehackt und deshalb von mir gelöscht. Die Eingabe einer neuen Adresse war nicht möglich. Bei Versuchen kommt immer "Fehler bei der Authentifizierung" oder ERROR 550-5.1.1. oder "Posteingangsserver wird bereits verwendet". Die alte Adresse ist immer noch gespeichert (teichert-goerne@t-online.de). Wo liegt der Fehler und was ist zu tun? Mit freundlichem Gruß Rudolf Görne

Hello! I want to set up TBird to: 1) Get all my messages and attachments stored locally, and... 2) Remove *most* of the above from gmail's server to avoid the data limit, but... 3) Keep, perhaps some months or a year of activity on gmail's server so I can access recent items from wherever.

Questions: 1) I have 10s of thousands (more?) of msgs, many with attachments. Is it better to just set up TBIrd and let it grab all the messages, or start by using Google TakeOut? 2) I presume I use IMAP vs. POP? 3) To preserve messages on my harddrive, I could archive to a local folder. Then I could safely delete those same messages on the gmail web interface? 4) If this turns into a disaster, can I just remove the entire account from TBird without suffering a loss of my entire email history? 5) Any insurance maneuvers to prevent the disaster of accidentally losing my entire email history while attempting to set this up? (Obviously will need to be religious about backing up my own system, though keeping a year of email on the gmail server offers a bit of insurance once the set up is successful.)

I am really hoping to avoid creating a unholy mess of my email/spending a week trying to fix it. (Indeed, I have avoided this project for years for this reason, but I really, really want to do this.)

Bei der Einrchtung des Gmail-Kontos wird mir der Anmeldeprozess immer mit dem Fehler 400 abgebrochen. Cookies habe ich erlaubt; VPN wurde deaktiviert. Auch die Anmeldung meines Outlook-Kontos wird abgebrochen. Was mache ich falsch?

J'utilise Thunderbird depuis longtemps et je garde mes anciens comptes liés à différents opérateurs. L'un de ces comptes que je garde comme archive m'envoie une demande de mot de passe pour se connecter à son serveur mais il est lié à un opérateur auquel je ne suis plus abonné. Donc ce message de demande de mot de passe s'affiche en continu et me gêne pour lire les messages de mon compte actuel. Que puis-je faire pour le garder comme archive de façon à pouvoir relire d'anciens messages sans qu'il se réactive.

Il faudrait un outil annexe à Thunderbird, une sorte de visionneuse qui permettrait d'accéder aux fichiers inbox sans avoir à les réinstaller. merci de vos conseils.

I've been using Thunderbird for a long time and I keep my old accounts linked to different providers. One of these accounts, which I keep as an archive, sends me a password request to connect to its server, but it's linked to a provider I'm no longer subscribed to. So this password request message keeps appearing and prevents me from reading messages in my current account. What can I do to keep it as an archive so I can read old messages without it reactivating?

I would need a tool to complement Thunderbird, a kind of viewer that would allow access to inbox files without having to reinstall it.

Thank you for your advice.

Thank you for any help. (thunderbird stll working on my cellphone thank goodness)

Hi there,

I currently have three email accounts set up in my Thunderbird client. I’d like to disable the automatic marking of messages as read—but only for one specific account (mainly for my colleagues’ convenience, as it’s a shared inbox).

In Settings > General, I see the option to turn off "Automatically mark messages as read", but this would apply to all my accounts, which isn’t what I want. I’ve checked the Account Settings for the relevant account and couldn’t find a per-account option. I also looked for an add-on that might help, but so far, no luck.

Has anyone found a workaround or solution for this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance, Cheers.

I would like to change my main e mail from [email1] @manx.net to new one [email2] @gmail.com, also so some icons have changed to lilac and I cannot open those can you please help .captions attached

          Thankyou John

Please Please Please advise how to modify settings to stop copying emails to "All Mail" folder. There are nearly 14K emails in that folder, and it's killing my capacity, I'm getting warnings, etc. Yes, I'm using Gmail.

Yes, I have unsubcribed from it, starting from my account name → Subscribe → unchecked [Gmail] All Mail. To no avail...

Of course, I do not want to delete mails I have saved in my hundreds of other folders. My mail goes back 25+ years, and I want to keep those archives.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!
