Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

TB was working fine, but now I can no longer send email. I get a popup window with this:

Unable to connect

An error occurred during a connection to localhost.

   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.
   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Thunderbird is permitted to access the web.

The service (Comcast) is up & working. I've double-checked the password. I've tried disabling my firewall.

How do I figure out what is now causing the problem?

Hi

We using Thunderbird with S/MIME in order to sign email and an LDAP directory access. When we do a reply all, Thunderbird try to download recipients certificates.

It's very long and useless for us ;) (it takes more than 1 minute to the popup to disappear, or we have to click on stop searching multiple times, one for recipient)

Is there anyway to deactivate this feature ? The only way is to disable LDAP, but we need LDAP.

Thanks ! Marc

Thunderbird 115.9.0

i have been away from my pc for 6 weeks and cannot access thunderbird. it repeated states that the login server IMAP.telstra.com failed my email hillsec@bigpond.net.au i have tried changing the in server and outgoing server to match my ipad and iphone which can receive emails. please help me to restore everything in thunderbird.

Gmail authentication fails unless I use debug mode, even when I've cleaned out addons etc.

Gmail then asks for permissions via Thunderbird menu and (sometimes) via 2F text to phone. I always grant these but authentication will always fail unless I start in debug mode.

Note: this is IMAP access.

Also, I read that master password is broken. Is this a related bug?

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to authenticate to my corporate email, which uses Google Mail, but I'm having some issues due to the security requirements. To authenticate to the email, I need to confirm the authentication with a Passkey, which I use the Bitwarden password manager. When I try to authenticate the email in Thunderbird, it opens a "browser" window where I should provide my email, password, and confirmation through Passkey. As this "browser" doesn't have the Bitwarden extension installed and is impossible to install, I cannot confirm the login.

Is there a way to change a configuration on Thunderbird instead of opening its browser, opening the browser installed in my OS where I have the Bitwarden extension installed, and logging in to confirm the login through Passkey? This behavior is the one used by Mailspring to authenticate an email account.

I lookked to see what email accounts I have in ssaved passwords and there is none listed. I donated to Thunderbird but I am not sure I can contine with the program because everytime I open TB it asks for passwords for both accounts.

Login to server imap.gmail.com with username ceciljohn6@gmail.com failed. The choices are "retry", "enter new password" or "cancel". What do I do?

I sent an email with multiple BCCs and no CCs or TOs, I put myself as one of the BCCs.

I did not receive it and I do not think anybody else did as well since I asked a few people.

The email is in the sent folder. I tried forwarding the email from my sent folder to myself as CC, and that worked. I also tried fowarding as BCC, and that worked.

So what is going on? Is BCC working? How can I know for certain? Do I need to foward the email as BCCs to all my BCCs to get this to work?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Again,

I just enabled cookies in order to fix a connection problem with Google and Xfinity. While going through the process, I noticed a Facebook web address was pre-filled, and I immediately deleted it before realizing "block" and "allow" are both on that same page. Can someone please paste that link here so I can put it back where it was?

Thank you!

Just moved to TB after 20 years on Mac Mail. Loving it so far, for the most part.

One thing I REALLY do not like is the 'browser behaviour' of Thunderbird. I do not want a second browser on my machine to worry about securing and preventing privacy leaks etc. I have a browser, it's carefully set up, and it's the only i want on my system.

So is there a way to stop TB behaving like a browser? I see questions about 3rd party cookies, they were turned on, and I'm glad I spotted that (could easily have missed it). Can I just turn off all firefox like behaviour? what about "Chat"? I have no use for that.

Thanks

PS - If anyone knows of a way to export my Mac Calendar data to TB, I might try the Calendar function out :)

Have been using TB a very long time. 115.8.1 broke some handshake issue with gmail. Google, as door keeper, asks me it Google should let them in. The automatic handshake needs a fix. Started day after install.

Every time TB seeks to download new email or I manually request to download new email I get the message "Sending of password for user xxxxxxx did not succeed." It then asks for the new password and it fails again. This all started when my provider required I update my email password.

Provider: Windstream.net

I can see my email on the web based email tool they provide. I can download email if I restart TB but I only get email on that one attempt. Then the error messages come consistently after that.

Configuration, incoming: pop.windstream.net Port 995 username Security: SSL/TLS Normal password

Outgoing: smtp.windstream.net Port 465 username Normal password SSL/TLS

I have tried deleting my profile and building it again and all that accomplished is losing my stored mailbox folders and emails (which were archived and I was able to reset the directory to go back to the original folders and emails) but the new profile did not fix the issue of losing the ability to reconnect and download emails automatically.

The saved passwords are only showing the current password but the saved passwords only show for the smtp server, should there be another listing for the pop server?

Hi, I have 4 Gmail family accounts on my Thunderbird. 2 accounts are OK and I can't connect to Gmail with the other two ones.

I've checked : - the passwords - the parameters for the account - the cookies are accepted (with an exception) - I've reset the old files - I've reset the old password - I've tied to delete the account and I can't reconnect any more ("Cant connect to the server, ..." (Translation from french)

I can't find a new idea...

For the account I didn't delete, the special connection window keep appearing every time I try to connect to on Gmail account, I enter the correct login and password, I click on "Authorize" but connection failed. My Thunderbird version is 102.11.0 on Ubuntu OS

Could you please help me ? Thanks! Jo

Hello, my boss working with Tunderbird he complained to me that the program save his email account (google email) password even he didn't want to and wanted to write any time when he start. I go to the menu of saved passwords ... I delete the password for the account and when I log in to Google again, although I say I don't want to save the password, the Thunderbird saves it automatically without asking me. This is obviously a problem with 91.8.1. I try to install to another PC but the problem is same.

Can you help me plase?

My email address and password were hacked today, so I can't get access to Thunderbird. I contacted my Webmail provider (Telstra - Australia) who have issued a new password that works in Webmail. However, apparently TB is only updated(?) once a month, and until then, my password isn't recognised by TB, so I can't get access to send and receive emails. I hope that makes sense. My questions are: is it true that I may have to wait up to 1 month to get this sorted; if an update is needed, when is the next date this will be done by TB; and is there any way that I can get my password sorted before the next update.

A probably related issue is that my Instagram account was hacked about 3 days ago and I got a scam email saying that my laptop had been accessed.

Thanks, Graham

Dear all, please cannot find help for this topic.

I am using Thunderbird on all my equipment, I install it to my friends, on every Windows that went under my hands.

On every installation I have enabled spam detection: Enable adaptive junk mail control for this account WITH THIS SETTING: Do not automatically mark mail as junk if the sender is in (Personal address book, Collected addresses) - this settings has to "whitelist" whole Personal addresses and Collected addresses, too.

Then, in global settings I checked these checkboxes: When I mark messages as junk: Move them to account's "Junk" folder Mark messages determined to be Junk ak read Enable adaptive junk filter logging

Despite of these settings, Thunderbird from time to time, detects messages as Junk from whitelisted senders, too! It's very unreliable, when you mail with someone on daily basis and suddenly, some important message fall into Junk folder from this sender. Of course you have no reason to check the Junk folder for addresses from whitelist. Has anybody experiences with this Thunderbird bug?

When i try to send a email, and I am using thunderbird this message Warning pops up. You are about to override how thunderbird identifies this site When it has location smtp.plateautel.net 587, This site attempts to identify itself with invalid information. Wrong site. This certificate belongs to a different site, which could mean that someone else is trying to impersonate this site,
