I changed the password of one of my emails when trying to configure it for my phone. I forgot that it was set to 0auth2. So now I have changed the password and can open the Gmail, account online OK, but I can't find how to go back to the 0auth2 password. 0auth2 is still set in Thunderbird but I have no idea what the old 0auth2 code was. How can I update it to work again?

I've changed my ISP's mail server password, and it's correct in Saved Logins, but I can't send mail because I need to change the SMTP password. My SMTP account is listed correctly, but it doesn't appear in the Saved Logins list. So I can't update its password. How can I get my SMTP account added to the Saved Logins list?

Thanks in advance for your work on this.

In Thunderbird 115 saved passwords cannot be read because the saved logins windows is far too narrow and does not slide its contents left and right. The Show Passwords is enabled, of course.

After a Windows 10 update, I find my pop3 server password has disappeared and I can no longer download e-mail to Thunderbird. I can't see any way to restore it. I can still send mail as the smtp password is present. All other settings seem OK. I can access my mail through the browser, but I want Thunderbird to download the messages.

bold text I wanted to access my work thunderbird emails on my Iphone, so I installed Firefox and also tried to get firefox through chrome. I couldn't figure out how to get the emails through firefox but changed/created used my work email addresses in firefox with a new passwords. Now those passwords don't work on my Thunderbird app on my laptop and the old password which was remembered in the Thunderbird program wont work!!! Help! I have no work tech person.

Are they a legit. service (or a hacker)?

Sectigo RSA Domain Validation Secure Server CA

The image below shows my domain, but I never got this warning before. Has it been hacked?

What should I do?

Thanks for your help

Richard P.S. I sometimes receive e-mails from my own address, that I have not sent...

Hello,

Recently, I started getting "Add Security Exception" on two computers accessing the same email account CALDAV calendar and contacts. The location shown is "mail.purplepapyrus.com:2080" and cites an outdated certificate. If you remove the port :2080 and request to get the certificate, it finds an up to date certification. It will not add an exception either through this window, or via the certificate manager. I have removed all CALDAV calendar and contacts from Thunderbird, removed the old certificate via the manager, and yet it comes back the next time I start Thunderbird. I have completely removed Thunderbird on the one the computers and reinstalled. Still happening. Oh, I should point out I am still sending and receiving emails, just the calendar and contacts that are not syncing/working.

Perplexed!

The lady at Earthlink said that in order to support the new encryption technology something (I didn't catch what) at Thunderbird had to be 23 and above. Where do I find that information?

Version: 102.12.0

FYI, the buttons / options that i refer to might be named slightly differently, as i'm using dutch language for my interface.

Summary The enter password dialog is not showing up when sending an email over SMTP, when the password previously was added to the password manager, but has been deleted since.

What happend

1. I've had a working account to an IMAP and SMTP server (both same subdomain, same password, diffrent ports).
2. the password was stored in the password manager.
3. the subdomain and port of the SMTP server needed to change, and i update the subdomain and port in account settings > outgoing server (SMTP) > Edit SMTP server. The new subdomain for SMTP was not known yet by the password manager.
4. on sending the next email through SMTP, i was prompted for the new password, with the "store in password manager" checkbox unchecked.
5. I entered the wrong password (LDAP instead of email) and checked "store in password manager", then continued the email send process.
6. this led to an error sending the email.
7. I checked online how to change the password and found https://smallbusiness.chron.com/reset-password-thunderbird-48064.html , which advised me to delete the password from the password manager.
8. I deleted the password, closed the password manager dialog and restarted thunderbird as per the previous link.
9. I pressed get messages without getting prompted for the SMTP server password, which is expected as the IMAP is still using the old subdomain with the stored password.
10. when re-sending the email that i have in my draft / concept folder, i was not prompted to enter the password for the new SMTP subdomain, even though i removed it from the password manager.
11. sending timed out with error about failed to send the email, because connecting to the outgoing SMTP server failed. with the added hint that perhaps the server is not available or refusing SMTP connections. However, the connection does not have a password to connect with stored, and other people are able to connect to the new SMTP subdomain and send emails.

What have i tried

• Troubleshooting Mode
• Clear startup cache
• restart thunderbird
• reboot laptop

I've checked https://support.mozilla.org/eu/questions/1245702, but this did not help my situation and can't find anything else that matches my issue.

Can you please help me with how I can either manually add the password for the subdomain (the subdomain is no longer in the password manager), or trigger the SMTP add password dialog?

I'm unable to send from gmail in thunderbird. Any help resolving this issue will be much appreciated. I can receive from gmail in thunderbird just fine. I can send from mail.google.com in a browser with no problem. I am unable to set the smtp authentication method to oauth2 in thunderbird. I think this might be part of the problem. Oath2 isn't in the drop-down menu. I'm using POP and am not interested in switching to IMAP. I've attached a screenshot of the smtp settings and the authentication drop-down. I've also attached the Application Basics and Mail and News Accounts sections from the thunderbird troubleshooting info.

TB 102.12.0 Win10 22H2 19045.2965

I have two accounts that doesn't use the account password on startup. On the 10 min interval checks it no longer asks for the password, just gets any messages. All of the accounts are pop3.

I deleted them in password manager thinking it would re-save them when entered - it doesn't. There is no checkbox to check to save the password.

Passwords for other accounts work fine.

How can this be resolved?

Thanks Dennis

Thunderbird has saved the password for IMAP on my email account, but not the password for SMTP, so I have to enter the password manually each time I send an email.

Is there any way I can save the password for SMTP as I am unable to find one in Thunderbird.

Thanks

I've used Thunderbird (TB) for years and have never been asked for a password until about two weeks ago. Tb is now contually requesting password but it won't accept or save them. I've uninstalled my TB program and reinstalled the latest, but the problem still persists. I've now got emails on the virginmedia server that I can't download to TB. I'm an 89 year old and am at my withs end. I use Windows 11, Tb and Virgin Media as my ISP. Please is ther some one out there who can solve this proble?

I want to connect one of my Gmail account using OAuth2 and I face a blank page after accessing the Google connection page and entering my email address. It only happens on this account.

I have no issues to connect other Gmail accounts, and I tested 4 of them. Is there a way to know where does the issue come from and/or how to solve this? I already applied everything advised in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20, to no avail.

So, recently my keys expired, and I extended the expiry data via Kleopatra, a nice interface that comes with the GPG4Win suite - and I exported those keys out to the keys.openpgp.org keyservers. When I search for those keys at openpgp.org, they have the proper, updated expiry dates - and they show as that in Kleopatra - but when I see those keys (and all the exact same imported third-party public keys I've pulled into Kleopatra), they have the old expiry dates, and I cannot sign or encrypt emails. It's quite annoying.

What gives?

Also, what keyserver does Thunderbird use?!?

I used to have no problem accessing gmail until they stopped allowing less secure app access. Every since then whenever I tried to access my gmail accounts with Thunderbird I get the message "Authentication failure while connecting to server imap.gmail.com". I have done research and made sure I have all the correct settings regarding OAuth2 and cookies and whatever in both Gmail and Thunderbird. But I have never been able to get it to work.

Then suddenly out of the blue I get this login screen for Google that opens in a new Thunderbird window that I haven't seen before. I mean I hadn't even upgraded or restarted Thunderbird for a very long time and it's just been opened in the background working away. So who knows what happened to make that appear. In any case, after I logged into my Google account using that Thunderbird window, and went through the million security notifications from Google about it, I was actually able to access my Gmail account at last.

The trouble now is that I have several Gmail accounts. And I can only access one this way. The others still give me that authentication error. I have checked to make sure that all account settings are exactly the same, and they are.

What can I do to get my other Gmail accounts working in Thunderbird? Is there anyway I can trigger Thunderbird into giving me that Google login windows for my other accounts?

Hello: Last time before today when I sent email was 23Oct 21! What fixed it was setting the outgoing server settings to "Authentication method: Password transmitted insecurely,and Connection security: none. I got a pop-up asking for my password,and my email was sent normally. My reason for posting this is to ask if this outgoing server setting is safe to use. I haven't tried this solution before,as I am very security conscious. I am attaching a pic of the settings. Thanks!

A week ago Sky forced me to change my password for geoff.bellx@sky.com. I made the change successfully but when I start TB it asks for a password (as expected) but doesn't accept the new one, returning message: Sending of password for user geoff.bellx@sky.com did not succeed. Mail server pop.tools.sky.com responded: [SYS/TEMP] Server error - Please try again later.

I can access my messages using Sky's webmail, so the change has been applied. However the webmail offering is awful and I want TB back.

I have looked through many of your existing Qs and As but can't find any which help. Can you please advise a way forward, Thank you

Checking the servers and domains that are connected by ThunderBird was a horrifying experience:

incoming-telemetry.thunderbird.net aus.thunderbird.net thunderbird-settings.thunderbird.net live.thunderbird.net services.addons.thunderbird.net versioncheck-bg.addons.thunderbird.net versioncheck.addons.thunderbird.net

location.services.mozilla.com

Are you crazy?!? Totally?

I am using Mozilla products for PRIVACY and SECURITY !

I don't want to be collected for telemetry and location! And also for nothing else that is not ESSENTIAL for using the App!

1) Please explain for which reason any and all of the above servers get connected Esp. what is "aus" for and "live"? What does the "settings" host is used for? Why are there 2 "versioncheck" servers?

2) Please FIX this list by removing any and all statistic-collectors like for telemetry and locations! And also by removing other, non-essential hosts!

Thanks!

I have upgraded to the Microsoft 365 Business Professional email service which should allow me to continue with Thunderbird, now that basic authentication is no longer supported.

I have enabled Exchange settings. Also, POP/IMAP and SMTP are authorized in the MS 365 account, and those setting are correct in T-Bird. From within Thunderbird, a login screen for the MS 365 email account is generated when T-Bird attempts to log in to the server, but the log in just takes me to the server page in the browser.

This help article https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/microsoft-oauth-authentication-and-thunderbird-202 advises that Thunderbird may need to be authorized. I followed the link, but was not able to make it work.

Given the following provided link, what is to be used for {tenant-id} ? https://login.microsoftonline.com/{tenant-id}/adminconsent?client_id=9e5f94bc-e8a4-4e73-b8be-63364c29d753

Any other advice? Thank you very much!
