Can't get Incoming G-mail (another email app can)

I just set up a gmail account in T-bird. I can send, but I can't receive. It keeps saying there's no email to get. I use a read-only email app called Mailwasher. I AM getting Gmail email in that app, while it's on the server.

I have gone through the settings in T-bird several times. I even checked on the web. - I entered what you see below (in both Thunderbird and Mailwasher): '"Incoming Mail Server Settings (IMAP) Hostname: imap.gmail.com Port: 993 Requires SSL: Yes Username: Your full Gmail address (e.g., example@gmail.com) Password: Your Gmail password"

I even tried changing the password a couple of times (also had to do this in Mailwasher).

UPDATE: now Thunderbird isn't logging on and wants a new password (which I've done twice already). No reason why.

PLEASE ADVISE. Kami

I received a breach alert from Mozilla Monitor 4 months after breach occurred - was this a bogus alert?

Today (February 25, 2026) I received an email notice, apparently from Mozilla Monitor, advising me that my "Email addresses, Partial credit card data, Passwords, and Phon… (læs mere)

Today (February 25, 2026) I received an email notice, apparently from Mozilla Monitor, advising me that my "Email addresses, Partial credit card data, Passwords, and Phone numbers" had been exposed in a data breach at Canadian Tire. This email seemed legitimate (the sender was breach-alerts@mozilla.com), but since it gave me a link to login to Mozilla Monitor, my first concern was that this might be a phishing email and it would be dangerous to click on that link. Instead, I went through the Firefox settings to login to my Firefox account and from there, I checked what Monitor had reported. The Canadian Tire breach was not listed there. However, when I went to haveibeenpwned.com, the Canadian Tire breach was listed there. It showed that the breach occurred on October 25, 2025. So why was the breach not listed for me on Mozilla Monitor? And why would I have received an alert from Monitor 4 months after the breach? Was this breach alert notice actually a phishing scam perpetrated by someone using the information from haveibeenpwned.com as bait?

Email clients using emails to create training databases for AI

It recently came to my attention that Gmail is using my (and others) emails to train their AI to provide "overviews" for email threads. I didn't find that in any of the recent Agreement changes so feel safe is stating Alphabet/Google never obtained my permission for this training. I'm not a fan of the far-flung use of AI and the mounting examples of how horrendously Google AI performs hasn't done anything to relieve my concerns.

I began a search for a better, reliable email client and there is a depressing shortage of them that fulfill the average email users' needs. Thunderbird looks pretty good but reading through the Help section, Community Forum questions and just general articles hasn't clarified a couple of questions I have.

1. Is Thunderbird a comprehensive email client, independent of other clients, or does it provide service by partnering with another client?

2. Does Thunderbird utilize AI for any purpose that requires the "review" and storage of individual users' emails?

Many thanks, MarilynB

For about the past 10 days or so Tbird has been presenting me with a request for my user name and password for, i am assuming, inclusion as an added account. They want

The problem is that in have no idea who caldav is or where they got my link to Tbird. My concern is that this may well be malicious. They want me to authenticate with username and password. What user name and what password?

Does anyone in the forum know what this is all about and how i can get them permanently excluded? With all the fake / criminal challenges on the net these days, i am very nervous (77 years old).

Any help would be really appreciated. Thank you

I am constantly getting messages in quick messages to clear my search history! This is supposed to happen automatically when i close the site and in fact sais it has been cleared. I cant ever find the last sites i visited but it is rather disturbing to think that someone is seeing my search history without my authorization! So tell me squarely ,why do i keep getting that disturbing message?
