Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

Hello, In the last couple of weeks, messages are not displaying as they did. So for example, I received screenshots of an airline trip I'm doing, but the message contained the following: [A screenshot of a computer Description automatically generated] Inbound Another example is receiving an email from a bank. Instead of showing the embedded link, it displayed as html. So, I can't read what was sent. Or it's hard to pick out the link.

I've gone to privacy and controls, but I can't find where I need to change this. Please help.

I was horrified to receive an e-mail from mail.com, telling me that my e-mail service would effectively be withdrawn in about 3 weeks unless I upgraded TLS 1.0 to TLS 1.1. I barely understand what that means but I have done my best to comply, short of buying a new computer. I have queried the usual sources, which tell me that if I upgrade Thunderbird to the latest version all will be well, so I tried to implement some of the often contradictory advice offered - to no avail. When I started, About Thunderbird informed me that I was running version 68.10.0 (64- bit). After trying all that I could understand, About Thunderbird tells me that my Linux 18.3 (Sylvia) computer is still running version 68.10.0 (64- bit). I suppose that's a bit better than screwing the whole thing up - but not a lot. My update 'shield' icon continues to show a green tick and assures me that my system is up to date. I appear to have disappeared up my own tail pipe. If some kind soul would explain how I can extricate myself from this impasse I would be exceedingly grateful.

I am running Windows 7 and have Thunderbird 91.10. Just went through your instructions to update to OAuth 2.0 (Well done BTW). When I try to get new documents I am immediately diverted to the log in page for my Google Account. Any suggestions on ways to avoid this? Thanks.

In Thunderbird 1153.1 (MacOS), it appears that the "Delete" button next to the header information on a message whose content display is blocked per privacy settings is applied not to that individual message but rather to the folder containing it. There's (fortunately!!) a confirmation dialog warning that that entire folder would be deleted unrecoverably, but it seems non-intuitive and dangerous that the button's scope should change depending on the content display status. When the content is displayable, the button applies only to the individual message, as I'd expect.

I've just installed the latest Thunderbird, using the default imap settings and my known good gmail password. When I press 'Done', Google asks me to log in and give permission to Thunderbird to access my gmail account. This goes fine, but Thunderbird then reports that the password is rejected. I know that it is good, and I can't see anything wrong. Everything seems to be set correctly and none of the help topics appears to give me a solution that I haven't already tried. Help please!

I have in thunderbird 102.6.1 (64 bits) three e-mail accounts. Windows 11 version 22H2. All three accounts are using the same outgoing server: smtp.ziggo.nl port 465 SSL/TLS normal password, From two accounts I can send without problems e-mail to .gmail.com accounts. But when I send from address xxxxx@hccnet.nl to a .gmail.com address I get the message that authorisation failed. On my Android telephone I can send with my e-mail adress xxxx@hccnet.nl witout any problem an e-mail to a .gmail.com account. The same is true for using this mailaccount on my laptop, with an other mail programm.

All server types are IMAP with port 993. I tried to find differences in the adjustmens but cannot find any difference. I am looking forward to hear if someone els has this problem too and a solution.

I get dozens of emails stating, "It looks like you're using plain-text email" or something to that effect. I see this message when I merely highlight the email in the list but without opening the email by clicking on the list entry. "Allow remote content" is set to off.

How do they know?

Thanks.

I erased my password on an gmail account in thunderbird, I changed it in gmail. when I start thunderbird it asks for the email account instead of just the new password. I fill in the email account and it sends error 400 back to me.

TB wont send outgoing emails to the gmail account

have spent 4-5 hours on this over last month

have tried- disabling Avast antivirus, disabling firewall, changing ports, erasing and reloading TB

All messages I receive from "nytdirect@nytimes.com" are being identified as spam. I have added this address to "collected addresses" and enabled the option in junk mail settings but it still is identified. My DKIM extension reports that DKIM is valid and signed by NY Times. SPF is a pass and DMARC is a pass. I have enabled adaptive junk filtering and each time it comes in I click the "not junk" button.

I have enabled the adaptive junk filter logging but the log is always empty. Messages from other sources seem to be ok. My messages are being forwarded to me from DYNU's message forwarding service.

Any suggestions on what I can do will be greatly appreciated. Thank you

When I click on an email and say reply, my reply is part of the original email.

If the recipient replies by clicking my reply-email, his reply will appear in the inbox in a thread along with the original email.

How can I avoid it so that all emails are listed as independent emails.

See copy of Thunderbird 102.7.0. macOS Monterey 12.06.3

I have two Mac systems. An M1 2020 MacBook Pro and a 2014 Intel Mac mini, macOS Monterey on both systems. I use the email client "Postbox" which is based on Thunderbird. When I saw the announcement for Thunderbird 115 Supernova I thought I'd give it a try. Installed on the MacBook Pro, played around a bit but ended up uninstalling it. Now on the MacBook Pro, I keep getting the attached image where the email body should be. It only happens on the MacBook Pro, so I'm thinking it must have something to do with the Thunderbird installation/removal. What do I have to do/delete/change to have this go away? Thanks.

I upgraded to V90 because Gmail will not work with Thunderbird after May 30, 2022. Since upgrading, password manager does not work, (won't store passwords) and I have to manually sign in to all my Gmail and Hotmail accounts at every start up and every time I select "Get Messages" on menu. I tried restoring to previous version and reinstalled V90 but it does not fix.

After changing passwords at the email provider, it asked for and saved the passwords for the incoming server. It asked for the SMTP password for the first account and saved that (using that username) but did not ask for or save passwords for the other accounts using the same SMTP server.

So... email can be received on three accounts but can be only sent from one. Is there some way to add the passwords?

I had to change my gmail pwd due to a possible security breach as reported to me by Experian.

After the change, Tbird flashed this error message upon the next startup (please see image)

After about 20 minutes of poking about, I found where I could change the password for my google account. I changed it to the new password. There is zero chance I got it wrong because I copy/pasted it from my pwd mgr. I still get this error message making T'bird useless to me.

I'm definitely let down that such as simple op as pwd change was so difficult to find and now seems impossible to do. I haven't a CLUE what the STAT command is or how to address this condition.

Any suggestions are greatly welcomed.

Hello,

Ive installed a MIME-certificate from Sectigo in Thunderbird 115.6.1 on Pop OS (flatpak).

The cert is in a pw-protected .p12-file which I have imported successfully. However when I try to sign emails I get the error-message shown in the first attached image. That the application cant find my cert or that it has expired. Both statements are incorrect imo :)

In attached image 2 and 3 it shows that the application has imported the cert and that its valid until 2025.

Any tips or input is helpful.

Also under Security Devices I have a PKCS#11 module that I have logged in to, but I dont see how that could affect PKCS#12 certs but I read in some guide that I had to do that. Which also apparently mean that master password is set for protecting credentials in the application, so I have to provide that password when opening Tunderbird.
